GROUND WATER <br /> From the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water <br /> Conservation District Study we find that the ground <br /> water depth is approximately 40 feet and that the <br /> gradient falls southerly at approximately 30 feet per <br /> mile. See Exhibits 2 and 3. <br /> SOILS AND PERCOLATION TEST <br /> Per the "Soils of San Joaquin County" , as published by <br /> the University of California, the soil is Hanford Sandy <br /> Loam. <br /> On July 24 , 1992, we ran percolation tests on Parcels 1 <br /> and 2. It was found that the percolation rates were 14 <br /> and 17/min/inch respectively. See Exhibits 4 and 5. <br /> In all cases the test holes were b" diameter by 3 feet <br /> deep. The tests were run under permit and inspection <br /> by the San Joaquin County Health Department . <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The area is suitable for septic systems . It is <br /> recommended that 8,000 S.F . be reserved on Parcels 1 <br /> and 2 for leach area . <br /> Based upon the percolation test and interviews , it is <br /> my professional opinion that a septic system will not <br /> adversely effect the first water aquifer . <br /> LIMITATIONS <br /> The conclusions of this report are based on the <br /> information provided regarding the existing and <br /> proposed development , and on the site conditions as <br /> they existed at the time we performed the percolation <br /> test . It was assumed that the test hole and <br /> percolation test results are representative of an <br /> average of the subsurface conditions in the general <br /> area . <br />
