Soil Suitability Study 4 <br /> Percolation Tests : <br /> Two (2 ) percolation test holes which are identified as <br /> Percolation Test Hole Nos . P1 and P2 on the attached "Parcel Map" <br /> were excavated to about a 3-foot depth and tested. <br /> Both percolation tests conducted were performed in accordance <br /> with the percolation test procedures outlined in the "Manual Of <br /> Septic Tank Practice" , published by the Department Of Health, <br /> Education And Welfare and the requirements of the San Joaquin <br /> County Public Health Service , Environmental Health Division. <br /> On November 15 and 16 , 1992 , percolation test hole no. P1 <br /> (Parcel No . 1 ) was tested and on November 16 and 17 , 1992 , <br /> percolation test hole no. P2 (Parcel No. 2 ) , was tested. Both of <br /> the percolation tests were performed on the subject property under <br /> my direction in conformance with San Joaquin County Public Health <br /> Service , Environmental Health Division regulations and San Joaquin <br /> County Ordinance Code Standards . <br /> Percolation Test Hole Nos . Pi , and P2 , for Parcel Nos . i and <br /> 2 , respectively, resulted in the percolation rates and the <br /> determinations shown on the attached "Field Percolation Data <br /> Sheets" and are reported on and tabulated as follows : <br /> Parcel No . Test Hole Percolation Rate Minimum Usable <br /> No. (Minutes Per Inch) Disposal Area <br /> ( Square Feet ) <br /> 1 P1 (3 ' ) 10 6 , 000 <br /> 2 P2 (3 ' ) 20 8 , 000 <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS : <br /> Effluent is recommended to be discharged into 6 , 000 and 8 , 000 <br /> square feet minimum usable disposal areas for Parcel Nos . 1 and 2 , <br /> respectively, to accommodate subsurface horizontal leaching fields . <br /> However , due to the known historical variable nature of the soils <br /> in this general area, and if a different site for a planned septic <br /> system is selected at the time of construction than that tested, <br /> careful note of the soil character and nature should be taken at <br /> the time of construction at the specific site selected and a system <br /> using leach lines with pits at their ends could be incorporated <br /> which has worked well in the past and would appear to be an <br /> acceptable alternate . <br /> Evered J .
