Soil Suitability Study Sheet 4 of 5 <br /> The approximate locations of the Percolation Test holes <br /> are shown on the attached "Parcel Map" . The percolation <br /> test holes have been positioned on the "Parcel Map" by <br /> field pacing, topography and contour observations since <br /> the parcel property lines were not specifically marked <br /> on the ground. <br /> Tabulated below are the percolation test results and <br /> recommendations . <br /> Parcel No. Test Hole Percolation Rate Minimum Usable <br /> No .

However , due to the <br /> retesting needed and the marginal results determined on <br /> Parcel Nos . 1 , 214 & 7 , seepage pits with leach lines <br /> are recommended, which is common practice in the <br /> geographical area of this planned development . <br /> Well Water .analysis : <br /> There are three domestic wells on the 244 acres <br /> proposed for development . They are situate are Parcel <br /> Nos 3 , 6 . and 7 . The well on Parcel No. 3 will serve a <br /> house which is presently under construction. The other <br /> two wells are situate on Parcel Nos . 6 and 7 . Both of <br /> these parcels have existing houses on them which the <br /> wells serve . Only two of the wells were tested. One is <br /> on Parcel No . 6 and the other is on Parcel No . 7 . The <br /> well on Parcel No . 7 is much newer than the well on <br /> Parcel No . 6 . The well water was sampled and tested for <br /> nitrates (No3) on Parcel Nos . 6 and 7 and found to be 4 <br /> and 3 mg/L, respectively. The well water analysis was <br /> performed by FGL Environmental and is shown on the <br /> attached letter dated May 14 . 1991 . The test results of <br /> the nitrate samples are well within the standard <br /> acceptable tolerance of 45 mg,'L . No special nitrate <br /> requirements are necessary for these wells . <br /> MS-90-79 --- Ernest K. Brown <br />
