The Cogna loam permeablity is moderate. Percolation (� , rates ranged from 36 min/in to 50 min/in. (See Appendix). 6.0 PERCOLATION TEST INFORMATION SECTION 6.1 Site Map Showing the location,with concise and accurate dimensions of the percolation test holes on the parcel: (See Appendix.) 6.2 The Minimum Number of Shallow and Deep Percolation Tests was Performed for Each Parcel: Three shallow percolation test holes were prepared on the proposed parcels. 2 6.3 Description of the Date, Time and Protocol Used to Prepare the Test Hole, Including Depth and Dimensions of Hole, Preparation of Hole, and Depth of Water Used to Presoak (Minimum 12 Inches): The shallow test holes were excavated to a depth of 42 inches and 8 inches in diameter and backfilled with 2 inches of"pea gravel" in accordance with County Standards.
