The drainfield information is based on percolation tests and soil borings performed on May 23, 24, and 25, 1978, Parcel 2 The soils found on Parcel 2 are Glencoe silty clay loam, Hamel loam and Lester loam. These soils are mapped in Figure 1. the percola- tion rate for the primary field as tested was 9.7 minutes/inch. The percolation rate for the secondary field as tested was 7.3 minutes/ the proposed drainfield areas are indicated in Figure 1. Percolation rates and depths to the water table are shown in Table 1. The soil logs of the soil borings are shown in Table 2. An 'innovative shallow trench systwm" or a mound system ed for both the primary and secondary drainfield sites. toms will allow for the required 3.0' separation between of the drainfield and the water table.
