• Percolation Test Results <br /> The completed percolation test forms are included in Appendix 3 of this report. The <br /> forms were signed by Mr. Tasiopoulos and indicate the percolation rate for each hole <br /> based on the final water drop observed. <br /> Per San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department's definition, a shallow <br /> percolation test hole has a depth between 36 and 42 inches; a satisfactory percolation <br /> rate for a shallow test is less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch (min/in) drop. For the <br /> Site to utilize a standard septic system, one percolation test must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Details and results of the percolation tests are summarized in the following table. <br /> Table 2.

Any future septic system construction <br /> should follow the San Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards (2003) <br /> where applicable. <br /> • <br /> LOGE 1523 Page 8 <br />
