I2-3O-OO
On Decenber 12-ll4.f 19^0 six pereolatJon holes wore tested
and 3 soil borings taken on each of 2 proposed lots on the Rux-
ton Strong property, Ihe percolation holes were dug 6 inches In
dlcpjetsr to a U2 Inch depth while the soil borings were dtig 6^2
inches in diameter to the 4 foot depth and 3 Inches In diameter
to the 6 foot depth, Tl-ie percolation holes were dug with both
a power and hand operated auger v/hlle the soil borings were dug
with the hand operated bucket typo auger.
Both lota are situated on top of a high wooded knob con»
sisting of the Kilkenny loam soil series. Because of the loc
ation the coll was very Ary nnd hard and thus was kept satura
ted for a long tine before testing. The averago percolation
rates for the tvio lots were 25.0 and 34.4 minutes per inch
which when sombinad with the lack of a high viater table
blec standard drainflold systeo;s to bo constructed on each lot.
Because the whole area is relatively level it appears that
some typo of pumping system will have to bo used if full base
ments are to bo served. Additional syctom d-r:ign information
v/ill bo needed once the location and size of the houses to bo
constructed are kaiovm. If any other Infomation is needed be
fore that tine, please contact me.
