Milton Road <br /> Linden, CA 95236 <br /> Dear Mr. Mike Huggins, <br /> I have just recieved your letter dated October 26 , 1995 and <br /> can not beleave what I read. On test hole Number 1 , the day <br /> before this test the owner and I had run well over a thousand <br /> gallons into this hole with a two (2" ) inch line by gravity <br /> and we could not even come close to getting a two (2 ' ) foot <br /> deep column of water in the bottom of the whole and the next <br /> day at the start of the test we dumped 500 gallons of water <br /> as fast as we could empty the 55 gallon drums into the whole <br /> and within 42 minutes the hole was dry this test will be <br /> considered a 30 minute test then because if anyone after thirty <br /> three years in the field tells me that this hole didn' t meet <br /> the 1 " per hour rate then we had better set down and discuss <br /> the purpose of this test. <br /> To be truthfull no way could we have only added 6" of water <br /> because the water ran out at such a rate and being 24 foot deep <br /> which the deep pits are going to be 25 foot deep. I question <br /> why the health department is trying to hold the owner up. If <br /> it is the intent to force the owner to redig the hole and run <br /> another test, Then let me know but I am signing the report <br /> as it has passed and if we go to the 30 minute test then we <br /> can call that test as 406" per hour and let it go at that. <br /> Being in the field we all know that height of a column of water <br /> has a lot to do with perk rate and we also know that in hard <br /> pan that most of the process that takes place is evaporation <br /> and evapotranspiration at best and it takes a combination of <br /> the leach lines and the deep pits to make the system work. <br /> 1050 EAST SAHARA AVE.$SUITE 4028 4061 FARMINGTON ROAD <br /> LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 69104 STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA 95215 <br /> (702) 733-8227 HEO-D (209) 463-6077 FAX(209)463-2919 <br />
