Soil Suitability Study Sheet 3 of 5 <br /> maintained road. <br /> Soil Profile Test : <br /> Two excavations to a depth of ten feet were performed. <br /> One excavation was on Parcel No. 5 and the second was <br /> on the Remainder Parcel . The Soil Profile Test Holes <br /> on Parcel No. 5 and the Remainder are identified as <br /> Soil Profile Test Hole Nos . 2 and i. respbctively. Soil <br /> Profile No. l (Remainder parcel ) excavation was <br /> performed at a higher elevation relative to that on <br /> Parcel No . 5 . High and low excavations were selected <br /> for comparison purposes . No water was encountered in <br /> any of the excavations to the 10-foot depth. <br /> Two basic layers were found in excavating to the to <br /> 10-foot depths . Both were brown sandy silts but the <br /> upper layer was a light brown as compared to a dark <br /> brown in the lower layer . The specific depths of each <br /> layer is shown on the attached Field vote Sheets . <br /> The approximate locations of the Soil Profile test <br /> holes are shown on the attached "Parcel Map" . The Soil <br /> Profile test holes have been positioned on the "Parcel <br /> Map" by field pacing. topography and contour <br /> observations since the parcel property lines were not <br /> specifically marked on the ground. <br /> Percolation Tests : <br /> Ten ( 10) percolation tests were performed on eight (8) <br /> parcels planned for development . Two were rerun tests <br /> on Parcel No . 2 . All were performed in accordance with <br /> the percolation test procedures outlined in the "Manual <br /> Of Septic Tank Practice" , published by the Department <br /> Of Health, Education And Welfare and the requirements <br /> of the San Joaquin County Health Service. Environmental <br /> Health Department . <br /> On May 9 and 10, 1991 , four percolation tests were <br /> performed. The four parcels tested were Parcel Nos . 5 , <br /> 6 . 7 and the Remainder . On May 16 and 17 , four ( 4) more <br /> percolation tests on Parcel Nos . 1 ,2 ,3 , and 4 , were <br /> performed. On May 23 and 24 . 1991 , the final two (2) <br /> percolation tests were performed. These were rerun <br /> tests on Parcel No . 2 . <br /> Al ', of the tests mentioned above on the subject <br /> property were performed cinder my direction in <br /> conformance with San Joaquin County Ordinance No . 549 . <br /> MS-90-79 --- Ernest K.
