5.0 SOIL PROFILE INFORMATION SECTION: 5.1 Site map showing location,with dimensions, of the soil profile pit on the parcel: See Appendix. 5.2 Description of soil profile pit including depth and dimensions: The shallow test holes were prepared per County Standards. The holes were excavated to a depth of 42 inches and 8 inches in diameter. They were backfilled with 2 inches of"pea gravel." The deep holes were prepared per County Standards. Deep hole 1 was drilled to a depth of 22 feet, hole 2 was drilled to approximately 24 feet, and hole 3 was drilled to a depth of 23 feet. A 2 inch diameter PVC pipe with perforations on the bottom was used to measure the drop of water in the percolation test boring. Approximately 2 inches of"pea gravel" were placed in the bottom of test boring; the PVC was installed on top of the gravel. Several feet of"pea gravel' were r backfilled in the annular space. 5.3 Description of soil lithology as noted from test pit by appropriate professional using industry standard protocol: The soil in this area is classified as Montpellier—Cometa Series and Redding Loam as stated in the Soil Survey of San Joaquin County, California as provided by the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service. 5.4 Discussion of soil lithology as related to future onsite septic uses: The Montpellier- Cometa Complex and the Redding gravel loam have very low permeability thus;percolation rates were slow as demonstrated by the shallow perk results. (See Appendix). 6.0 PERCOLATION TEST INFORMATION SECTION 6.1 Site Map Showing the location,with concise and accurate dimensions of the percolation test holes on the parcel: See Appendix. 6.2 The Minimum Number of Shallow and Deep Percolation Tests was Performed for Each Parcel: Two shallow percolation test holes were prepared, one on each proposed parcel. Two deep holes were prepared due to failure of the shallow tests. An additional deep hole was also prepared due to a failure of deep hole number 2 on the first deep test. 6.3 Description of the Date,Time and Protocol Used to Prepare the Test Hole, Including Depth and Dimensions of Hole, Preparation of Hole, and Depth of Water Used to Presoak _ (Minimum 12 Inches): The shallow test holes were excavated to a depth of 42 inches and 8 inches in diameter and backfilled with 2 inches of"pea gravel' in accordance with County Standards. The shallow holes were prepared by Mike Toy of Dillon&Murphy on February 9, _ 2005. On February 10, 2005 at 7:30 a.m. the 24 hour presoak period was started. The hole was filled with 12 inches of water over the gravel and at this time Environmental Health Department was notified of the start of the test. The deep test holes were excavated to a depth of 24 feet and 21 feet respectively. The third deep test hole was excavated to 23 feet. All holes were backfilled with 2 inches "pea gravel'. A 2 inch PVC pipe with perforations at the bottom was installed into the test hole and several feet of 3 c:W4120\Soi1 Report
