(§ 6.1) P atioq testing was conducted in the locations as illustrated on the Tentative Map found i Appendix 3. The test sites are near Lone Tree Road which are logical locations for any future esid development. These test locations also maintain sufficient distance requirements between wells, property lines, and the Lone Tree Creek. The following information describes the preparation of the percolation test borings and the actual percolation testing: (§ 6.Y,6.3 and 6.5) On October 7, 2008, 1300 hrs, one shallow perc test boring of 42 inches and deeper borings of 24 feet, 18 feet, 18 feet, and 22 feet were drilled on Parcels 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, with a truck-mounted drill rig. The test borings were drilled approximately 150 feet north of Lone Tree Road. Although there is no proposal to build on these proposed Parcels at this time, these are logical locations where future residential development may occur. The sidewalls of each shallow boring was scored with a pry-bar and the loose material removed. The deeper borings could not be scored. Two inches of fine gravel was placed at the bottom and three-inch perforated PVC pipe was inserted in each of tKe eight test borings. Perc test borings for Parcel 1 and 2 were pre-saturated on October 7, 2008 at 1600 hrs with 12 inches of water. (§ 6.4)/On October 8, 200$ 0800 hrs, percolation testing commenced for both shallow and deep test borings for proposed Parcels 1 and 2. There was no standing water after the 24-hour soak period in any of the test borings for Parcels 1 and 2, as illustrated in Table 1 below. Consequently, EHD Perc Test Procedure#2 was conducted. After testing, the perc test borings for proposed Parcels 3 and 4 were presaturated with 12 inches of water at 1300 hrs. There was no standing water in any of the four test borings when perc testing commenced on October 9, 2008 at 0800 hrs. EHD Test Procedure#2 was also followed for the test borings on these two Parcels. The last half hour of all the tests was witnessed by Ted Tasiopoulos, R.E.H.S. of the Environmental Health Department. The maximum acceptable perc rate is 60 min/in for shallow perc tests, and 30 min/in for the deep perc tests. The minimum acceptable perc rate is 5 min/in. Consequently, all eight perc tests (both shallow and deep test borings) for the subject Parcels possess acceptable percolation. / (§ 5.4 and 6.8)V The following Table illustrates the proposed Parcel number, septic system structure to be installed based on the depth of the passing perc rate, proposed acreage, post soak period status and perc test results for the respective perc test: Page -4- Chesney Consulting
