PERCOLATION TEST INFORMATION A percolation soil suitability test was performed at the site under EHD permit No. SR0082492 using a four-inch diameter soil boring established to a depth of 42 inches bsg. A site map showing the approximate location of the percolation test hole is illustrated in Figure 2. A precise description of the location and construction of the percolation test hole is included in Appendix D (EHD form 42-03 revised 11/02/2009). The soil suitability study was conducted within the area of the proposed septic system leach field. 6.1. NUMBER OF PERCOLATION TESTS PERFORMED One shallow percolation test was performed at the site. The appropriate percolation test procedure established by the EHD was followed for the test (Procedure #3). The percolation test hole was pre-soaked overnight for 24 hours followed by two (2) one-hour percolation testing periods and a 39-minute percolation testing period. 6.2. CONSTRUCTION OF PERCOLATION TEST HOLE On 02 September 2020, one boring was advanced for a shallow percolation test. The boring was advanced using a four-inch diameter hand auger to a depth of 42 inches bsg. Following borehole advancement, the sides of the boring were scraped, and loose material was removed from the borehole. Once the borehole was cleared of loose material, two inches of fine gravel was added to the borehole. The borehole was then filled with water to a depth of 12 inches above the gravel at the time of 0800. The test hole was then covered for 24 hours to allow for complete saturation of the borehole. 6.3. DESCRIPTION OF THE PERCOLATION TEST HOLE - POST SOAK On 03 September 2020, the boring was found to be completely dry, intact and in good condition. 6.4. PERCOLATION TEST CONFORMED TO SJC POLICY EHD 98-02 The work was performed in accordance with San Joaquin County Division 11 Section 9-1105.2 (d) General Requirements. On 03 September 2020, the percolation test hole was dry after sitting overnight. Percolation test procedure#3 was performed by adding water to approximately six inches above the gravel and recording the amount of water remaining in the borehole after 10-minute intervals for one hour, then at 5-minute intervals for one hour, and then at 3- minute intervals for 39 minutes. The water level was measured from a fixed reference point at the surface of the boring using a Solinst water level meter. The final measurement
