septic system, one percolation test (either a shallow or deep test) must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Only shallow tests were performed for the proposed parcels of the Site. Details and <br /> results of the percolation tests are summarized in the following table: <br /> Table 2. Percolation Test Summary <br /> Test No., Percolation Percolation Test Duration Comments <br /> Date Tested Test Rate (see notes) <br /> Depth (ft.) (minutes/inch) <br /> P1, Satisfactory <br /> 11/8/13 3.40 7.8 4 hrs. pert. rate <br /> Shallow Test <br /> P2, Satisfactory <br /> 11/8/13 3.43 8.9 4 hrs. <br /> Shallow Test perc. rate <br /> Note- A satisfactory percolation rate for a "shallow" test is less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch. A satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a "deep" test is less than or equal to 30 minutes per inch. <br /> Discussion of Percolation Test Results <br /> The soils within the percolation test areas have demonstrated satisfactory percolation <br /> rates for the use of standard septic systems in accordance with the requirements of the <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. <br /> Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br /> Septic system construction utilizing leach lines and seepage pits should follow the San <br /> Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards (2003) where applicable l <br /> LOGE 1322 Page 8 <br />
