Soils lithology in the general area of the test holes consisted of (3) different <br /> types of sandy loam. As a shallow percolation test proved adequate for a <br /> conventional septic system, no further soil exploration was necessary. <br /> A copy of the Soils Classification Map prepared by the U.S. Department of <br /> Ag Soil Conversation Service is included in the Appendices. Their map classified <br /> the soils as Acampo Sandy Loam at the north end of the project, Columbia Fine <br /> Sandy Loam at the south end of the project, and in between the two different types <br /> of soil is a third type known as Kingon Fine Sandy Loam. Due to the classification, <br /> there should be no potential problems or special engineering required on future <br /> septic systems. <br /> VII. CONCLUSION <br /> Based on the results of the percolation tests and the soil profile, it is Dillon & <br /> Murphy's opinion that the subject property is suited for a typical on-site sewage <br /> disposal system. The system however, should be properly designed and installed <br /> according to the current San Joaquin County criteria. <br /> Based on the depth to ground water in the area, and the size of the proposed <br /> parcels, it is our opinion that the installation of any new proposed septic system, if <br /> properly installed, should not adversely affect the quality of ground water in the <br /> area. <br /> VIII. LIMITATIONS <br /> The conclusions of this report are based on the information provided <br /> regarding the proposed development, the use of the subject property, and the site <br /> conditions as they existed at the time we excavated our test holes and performed <br /> the percolation tests. It was assumed that the test holes and percolation tests <br /> results are representative of the subsurface conditions in the general area. <br /> Our services were performed, our findings obtained, and our conclusions <br /> proposed in accordance with generally accepted engineering principles and <br /> practices.
