Percolation Test Results <br /> The completed percolation test forms are included in Appendix 3 of this report. The <br /> forms were signed by Mr. Escotto and indicate percolation rates for the holes based on <br /> the final water drop observed. <br /> Per San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department's definition, a shallow <br /> percolation test hole has a depth between 36 and 42 inches-, a satisfactory percolation <br /> rate for a shallow test is less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch (min/in) drop. A deep <br /> percolation test hole has a depth greater than 3.5 up to 25 feet; a satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a deep test is 30 min/in or less. For the Site to utilize a standard <br /> septic system, one percolation test (either a shallow or deep test) must <br /> demonstrate a satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system <br /> disposal field. <br /> Details and results of the percolation tests are summarized in the following table. <br /> Table 2.

A satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a 'deep"test is less than or equal to 30 minutes per inch <br /> Since the deep test was satisfactory, the parcel met the requirements of the San Joaquin County Environmental <br /> Health Department for the percolation test. <br /> LOGE 1107 Page 7 <br />
