two holes were filled with water 24 hours prior to running the test. After the <br /> 24 hour pre-soak, the depth to water was 36 inches. The hole was intact. <br /> The test holes for Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 were performed under a 4 hour test. <br /> The last half hour of the tests reading for Parcel 1 were witnessed by a County <br /> _ Health Official and the test data obtained is enclosed in the Appendix. Also, see a <br /> map in the Appendix indicating where the test holes were located. <br /> Parcel Number Percolation Rate <br /> 1 80 min./in. <br /> 2 0 min./in. <br /> Deep Test <br /> Anderson was retained to perform the deep tests. The tests were performed <br /> on the morning of August 21 , 2003. The deep test holes were 4" diameter holes <br /> drilled to 25 feet. The holes were pre-soaked to 24.5 feet. After 24 hours, water <br /> was encountered to 9 feet and 8.5 feet. The holes were intact. See the appendix <br /> for their results. The holes were not tested under permit and therefore Anderson <br /> was retained to perform the tests again. <br /> On November 11 , 2003 Anderson performed deep and shallow tests on the <br /> site using the same criteria. Unfortunately, conventional deep tests could not be <br /> performed due to auger refusal. Anderson's results indicate refusal was reached at <br /> 3.32 feet and 3.65 feet. Parcel 1 did not pass sufficient percolation rates for the <br /> shallow tests or the deep test. Unless a proper strata can be located when a home <br /> is built on Parcel 1 , an engineered septic system will be required. (See the <br /> Appendix for a typical engineered system design). Further exploration may yield an <br /> acceptable strata as all of the permits I obtained in the area indicted septic systems <br /> with seepage pits have worked adequately. <br /> One of the holes on Parcel 2 passed the acceptable rate for a shallow test <br /> (50 min/in achieved versus 60 min/in required). The depths from original ground to <br /> the bottom of the hole was 3.19 feet (38.28 inches). I recommend a conventional <br /> system in accordance with County Standards for Parcel 2. 1 also recommend <br /> seepage pits at the end of the leach lines. <br /> See the Appendix for Anderson's November 11 results as well as a site plan <br /> showing the hole location. The soils profile information (lithology) provided by <br /> — Anderson is shown on the back of their result sheets. Neither hole on the <br /> November 11 tests encountered water after the 24 hour presoak and the holes <br /> were intact. <br /> 3 <br /> C:\01116\SOILS REPORT 082703 <br />
