PERCOLATION TEST CONFORMED TO SJC POLICY EHD 02-02 <br /> The work was performed under SJCCDD Title Requirements Section 9-1105.2 (d) and <br /> ' as required by EHD letter, dated 06 September 2012. <br /> On 22 July 2014, test hole one was inspected prior to initiation of the percolation test. <br /> The percolation test was performed by recording the amount of water remaining in the <br /> bore hole at 30-minute intervals. The initial 6-inches of water seeped from test hole in <br /> less than 30-minutes. After recording the measurement the EHD inspector approved a <br /> one-hour percolation test. Additional water was added to the boring as required to <br /> ensure that approximately 6-inches of water remained. The water level was measured <br /> from a fixed reference point at the surface of the boring, using a Solinst water level <br /> ' meter. Measurements were taken at 30-minute intervals for over four hours. The final <br /> three measurements were observed by the EHD inspector. Based on the field <br /> measurements collected, the percolation rate for the parcel was calculated and <br /> ' presented in the following forms. <br /> t6.6. COMPLETED PERCOLATION TEST FORM <br /> After completion of the test, the EHD inspector reviewed the field data and signed the <br /> ' required EHD Percolation Test Rate form. Field measurements recorded during the test <br /> are included on the Percolation Test Rate Field Sheet provided in Appendix D. <br /> ' 6.7. POTENTIAL PROBLEMS PREDICTED <br /> ' On site soils within the shallow percolation test range demonstrated adequate <br /> percolation rates. Additionally, the existing septic system has been properly operating. <br /> ' 6.8. PERCOLATION TEST FINDINGS <br /> ' The shallow percolation test performed provided a satisfactory percolation test rate. The <br /> percolation rate of 31.25 minutes per inch was calculated from data collected during the <br /> ' 4.5-hour percolation test. The use of the existing septic system should follow the San <br /> Joaquin County On-site Wastewater Disposal Standards. <br /> ' 7.0. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SOIL <br /> ' Soil chemical properties were supplied by regionally sourced material for the <br /> surrounding area. <br /> 1 <br /> Advanced GeoEnvironmental,Inc. <br /> 1 <br />
