The percolation test was performed following standard County <br /> procedures. The hole was filled with water 24 hours prior to <br /> running the actual test. Due to the high percolation rate of this <br /> soil, the ten minute interval. procedure was followed. <br /> The percolation rate, based on the last ten minute reading, is <br /> 3.33 minutes per inch. A copy of the percolation test form is <br /> included in the Appendix as Exhibit E. <br /> 7. CONCLUSION <br /> Based on the results of the percolation test, the evaluation of <br /> the soil type present in the general area and the apparently <br /> satisfactory track record of other existing systems currently in <br /> use in the immediate vicinity, it is my opinion that the subject <br /> property is suitable for the development proposed by the owner. <br /> The proposed septic system is composed of standard leach line <br /> terminating in a 4 foot wide by 24 foot long by 8 foot deep filter <br /> pit.. With the bottom of the pit. lying about 10 feet down, the <br /> minimum distance to groundwater is estimated to be 10 feet. Based <br /> on the foregoing, the proposed septic system should not adversely <br /> affect the groundwater quality in the general area. <br /> 8. LIMITATIONS <br /> The conclusions of this report are based on the information <br /> provided regarding the existing and proposed development and on <br /> the site conditions as they existed at the time I performed the <br /> percolation test and soil evaluation. It was assumed that the <br /> percolation test results and soil samples obtained are <br /> representative of the subsurface conditions in the general area. <br /> In as much as the findings and statements made in this report are <br /> based on information developed through an investigation of limited <br /> scope, they do not constitute any form of guarantee or warranty, <br /> either expressed or implied. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Dean G.
