• Percolation Test Results <br /> The completed percolation test form is included in Appendix 3 of this report. The form <br /> was signed by Mr. Tasiopoulos and indicates the percolation rate for the hole based on <br /> the final water drop observed. <br /> Per San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department's definition, a shallow <br /> percolation test hole has a depth between 36 and 42 inches; a satisfactory percolation <br /> rate for a shallow test is less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch (min/in) drop. For the <br /> Site to utilize a standard septic system, one percolation test must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Details and results of the percolation test are summarized in the following table. <br /> Table 2.
