JOHN THOMING TRUST PROPERTY <br /> SOIL SUITABILITY STUDY <br /> Page No. 2 <br /> IV. EXISTING AND PROPOSED SEPTIC TANK USAGE <br /> As indicated, there are no existing structures and <br /> consequently no existing septic systems on the subject property. <br /> The 4 proposed homesites will utilize on site sewage disposal <br /> systems. There is only one neighbor within a 1 mile radius of the <br /> property. This neighbor was interviewed and a summary of this <br /> information is presented next. <br /> OWNER: Esarte <br /> ADDRESS: 1055 W Vernalis Rd <br /> LOCATION: 0 . 7 miles west of property <br /> AGE OF HOUSE: 50+ years <br /> SEPTIC SYSTEM: Yes, original system still in use (septic tank and <br /> leach line) however a new leach line was added 9 <br /> years ago due to clogging of the original. No <br /> problems with the new line. <br /> V. GROUND WATER DEPTH AND TESTING <br /> Ground water was not encountered in our test holes at the time <br /> they were excavated. Test holes were carried to a depth of 10 . 0 <br /> feet. However, according to Mr. Thoming, ground water in the area <br /> is approximately 40 feet. According to the Public Health Services <br /> section of the Conditions of Approval, no ground water testing is <br /> required. <br /> VI . SOIL PROFILE AND PERCOLATION TESTS <br /> Four, 10 foot deep test holes were excavated by hand in the <br /> area of the proposed homesites in order to determine the soil <br /> profile in the general area. For approximate location of the test <br /> holes (PT) see the Parcel Map in the Appendix. The tests holes <br /> were logged by a civil engineer and a description of the soils <br /> encountered in each test hole is contained in the' Appendix. The <br /> soils encountered in the test holes were very consistent. The <br /> surface 4 to 4. 5 feet consisted of a slightly sandy silt. This was <br /> underlaid by a sandy silt that continued to the maximum depth <br /> explored of 10 . 0 feet. For a more detailed description of the <br /> soils encountered see the log of test holes. <br /> Four 36 inch deep by 8 inch diameter test hole were excavated <br /> by hand adjacent to the soil profile holes for performing shallow <br /> percolation tests. Two inches of gravel was placed in the bottom <br /> 'SSpG� <br /> rpERSO <br /> P 'L <br /> N <br /> Z W <br /> O � <br /> P <br />
