Analysis of Existing Lagoon: <br /> Estimated depth- 30 feet,total. The soil samples taken from boring taken 30 feet west of the lagoon <br /> (MDS-1), were tested for phosphorus and total dissolved solids. The results indicate that there is possibly <br /> lateral movement of seepage from the lagoon. Fortunately,the clay layers of the lower strata appear to be <br /> slowing seepage downward toward the ground water. In consideration that the boring was taken next to <br /> the lagoon where many years of exposure to"head pressure"from standing water in the lagoon,there has <br /> been no penetration of surface water below the depth of 35 feet . It appears that due to several clay layers <br /> through the profile,both the surface water and the lagoon water have been slowed down and stopped. The <br /> nitrate ppm at the 35' sample is 23 while the ppm at the 40' sample is ND(non detectable). Moreover,the <br /> water table in the area is at approximately 85'. Also,the USCS class is CL,which is usually classified as a <br /> Group III soil. Group III soils generally have very low permeability,good structural features, and only low <br /> to moderate shrink-swell potential. <br /> 14 <br />
