Soil Suitability Study Sheet 3 of 5 <br /> There is an existing well at the mobile home <br /> located on the west side of the subject property. <br /> Soil Profile Test : <br /> Excavation for the 25-foot percolation tests <br /> comprise the Soil Profile Test . Two percolation <br /> test holes were dug to a maximum depth of <br /> twenty-five feet and both were of the same <br /> character . This excavation was performed at the <br /> locations shown on the attached Parcel :Kap. <br /> No water was encountered in excavating to the <br /> 25-foot depth. The San Joaquin County Flood Control <br /> and Water Conservation Map entitled "Lines Of Equal <br /> Elevation Of Water In Wells" dated F444-1990 sh-ows <br /> the water depth between thirty (30) and forty (40) <br /> feet . 70 / -(:68o <br /> Three basic soil layers were found—+n--i-excavating to <br /> the 25-foot depth for the Soil Profile Test . The <br /> first layer immediately below the ground surface to <br /> a depth of about three (3) feet is a grey clay <br /> material . From about three (3) feet below the <br /> ground surface to a depth of about twenty-five (25) <br /> feet , the soil is a reddish brown clay and right at <br /> twenty-five ( 25) feet a silty sand was encountered. <br /> Percolation Tests : <br /> Six ( 6) percolation tests holes were excavated. <br /> Four were excavated to a depth of three (3) feet <br /> and two were excavated to a depth of twenty-five <br /> (25) feet . Two of the four percolation test holes <br /> that were excavated to the 3-foot depth were <br /> situate at the south end of the subject property <br /> between the second and third rows of grapes . One <br /> was situate on Parcel Ito . 1 and the other situate <br /> on Parcel No . 2 . They are not shown on the attached <br /> Parcel Nap . however , because these test holes were <br /> abandoned after excavation due to the poor quality <br /> of the soil encountered. The four excavated <br /> percolation test holes tested are located on the <br /> east end of the property as shown on the attached <br /> Parcel Map. Two are on Parcel No . 1 and two are on <br /> Parcel No . 2 . <br /> All percolation tests conducted were performed in <br /> accordance with the percolation test procedures <br /> outlined in the "Manual Of Septic Tank Practice" , <br /> Anthony and Wilma Lopez --- MS-91 -91 <br />
