. <br /> Painter's Creek Development S December 9, 1983 <br /> The test consisted of making 4 to 6 r adings of the water level at <br /> - 5-to 30-minute intervals. The percolation rate was determined in ttie field <br /> after a steady uniform flow condition was aintained. The actual test <br /> results are tabulated on the Test Summary heet. <br /> TEST RESUI.TS <br /> In Lots 2, 4, 9, 14, 15, 19, and 2�, he seasonal groundwater table <br /> was encountered at a depth of less than 4 t. Therefore� these drainfield <br /> areas were relocated by the site planner t more favorable areas where <br /> satisfactory results were obtained. It sho ld be realized that ttie season- <br /> able groundwater table at this site is relatively high, with depttis ranging <br /> from 1/2 ft. to 6 1/2 ft. in the tested are s. This can be due in part to <br /> the stiff, low permeable glacial till sqils at this site. <br /> The majority of the soils tested fqr p rcolation consisted of topsoil <br /> (A--�orizon) . Percolation rates were genera ly in the range of 4 to 60 <br /> minutes per inch. The faster rates were re orded in the areas of deeper <br /> topsoil (A horizon) , while the slower rates were found in the areas of <br /> shallower topsoil and represent the percola ion rate of the B-tiorizon soils. <br /> In alternate areas for Lots 16 and 20, percolation rates of slower <br /> than 60 minutes per inch were recorded. As discussed with the site planner� <br /> these areas will be designated as "mound" s stems only.• It is possib]_e to <br /> conduc[ further exploration for more suitab e soils, if you so desire. <br /> RErIARKS <br /> As indicated by the test results, t'�e oils at this site are quite <br /> variable in their soil texture and permeabi ity characteristics.
