Percolation Test Results <br /> The completed percolation test form is included in Appendix 3 of this report. The form <br /> was signed by Mr. Escotto and indicates a percolation rate for the hole based on the �L <br /> 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. A deep <br /> percolation test hole has a depth greater than 3.5 up to 25 feet; a satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for a deep test is 30 min/in or less. For the Site to utilize a standard <br /> septic system, one percolation test (either a shallow or deep test) must demonstrate a <br /> satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed septic system disposal field. <br /> Only a shallow percolation test was performed. Details and results of the percolation <br /> test are summarized in the following table. <br /> Table 2.

Shallow Test perc. rate <br /> Note: A satisfactory percolation rate for a "shallow"testis less than or equal to 60 minutes per inch. a isfactory <br /> percolation rate for a "deep"test is less than or equal to 30 minutes per inch. <br /> Discussion of Percolation Test Results <br /> The soils within the sewage disposal area of the Site have demonstrated a satisfactory <br /> percolation rate for the use of a standard septic system in accordance with the 6, <br /> requirements of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. <br /> Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br /> Septic system construction utilizing leach lines and pits should follow the San Joaquin <br /> County On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards (2003) where applicable. <br /> LOGE 1402 Page 8 <br />
