the above described level. Therefore, a total of 3.5' from original ground to bottom of hole was tested. Test hole #2 was excavated to a level of 1.83' below original ground. From there, an 8" diameter hole was excavated to 1.67' below the above described level. Therefore, a total of 3.5' from original ground to bottom of hole was tested. Both test holes were backfilled with 2 inches of"pea gravel." This method was approved by San Joaquin County Environmental Health Official prior to the test. 5.3 Description of soil lithology as noted from test pit by appropriate professional using industry standard protocol: The soil in this area is classified as Pardee Cobbly Loam, Pentz Sandy Loam, Pentz-Bellota Complex and Peters Clay as stated in the Soil Survey of San Joaquin (16,39 County, California as provided by the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service. 5.4 Discussion of soil lithology as related to future onsite septic uses: The Pardee Cobbly Loam has a moderately slow permeability, the Pentz Sandy Loam and Pentz-Bellota Complex has a moderately rapid permeability and the Peters Clay has a slow permeability thus; percolation rates were 19 and 31 min./in. (See Appendix.) 6.0 PERCOLATION TEST INFORMATION SECTION 6.1 Site Map Showing the location,with concise and accurate dimensions of the \ percolation test holes on the parcel: See Appendix. 6.2 The Minimum Number of Shallow and Deep Percolation Tests was Performed for Each Parcel: Two shallow percolation test holes were prepared, one on each proposed parcel. 6.3 Description of the Date, Time and Protocol Used to Prepare the Test Hole,Including Depth and Dimensions of Hole, Preparation of Hole, and Depth of Water Used to Presoak (Minimum 12 Inches): Two shallow test holes were excavated as stated in Section 5.2. The shallow test holes were prepared by Bill Carlson, the owner, on December 7, 2008. On December 9, 2008 at 7:30 a.m. the 24-hour presoak period was started. The holes were filled with 12 inches of water over the gravel at this time. 6.4 Description of the Date, Time and Condition of the Test Hole After the 24-Hour Soak Period (Hole Still Intact, Hole Dry, Depth to Water Remaining in Hole, Etc.): On Q December 10, 2008 at 7:30 a.m. the two shallow test holes were dry. Six inches of water was added to the holes and the holes were deemed suitable to continue. The shallow tests passed the minimum County requirements. 6.5 The Test Conformed to San Joaquin County Policy EHD 02-02 (Correct Depth, diameter,2" gravel, 6" Water Refill, Correct Readings Recorded): The percolation tests conformed to San Joaquin County Policy EHD 02-02. 6.6 Complete Percolation Test Form (Including Readings) Was Provided With REHS Verification Signature. The Rate Was Correctly Calculated Using the Last Reading: See Appendix for Test Result Form. 3 604131\Soil Suitability Study 1208
