January 11, 2022 <br />BGG No. G130.09B <br />Percolation Test Results <br />A rate of 6.67 minutes/inch was recorded for the proposed septic system and leach field. SJCEHD <br />defines a shallow percolation test hole as having a depth between 36 and 42 inches; a satisfactory <br />percolation rate for a shallow test is one resulting in a water level drop greater than or equal to 1 <br />minute per inch (min/in) but less than or equal to 60 min/in. For the site to utilize a standard septic <br />system, one percolation test must demonstrate a satisfactory percolation rate within the proposed <br />septic system disposal field. <br /> <br />Discussion of Percolation Test Results <br />The soils within the proposed septic system leach field area have demonstrated a satisfactory <br />percolation rate for the use of a standard septic system in accordance with the requirements of the <br />SJC EHD. <br /> <br />Discussion of Septic System Sizing <br />Septic system construction utilizing leach lines should follow the San Joaquin County On-Site <br />Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017) where applicable. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
