Dear Sir,
I have conducted percolation taste on the proposed subdivision of Mr.
Na?'ied E. Fitzgerald to the rear of Bridge Road in Florence. I find the soil
in s; area of this project is suitable for the use of septic tanks sad private
leaekiaj systems. Four borings were taken to a depth of five feet. The result*
were as follows:
H` Boring No. 1: 8"
Coarse sand 8" to 5'
ref- r# i y Boring No
1 id , <
2; Topsoil 0" to 6"
Coarse sand 6" to 5'
Boring No 3:
Boring No 4:
Topsoil 0" to 8"
Coarse Sand 8" to 3'
Fine grey sand 9' to 5'
0" to 6" Topsoil Percolation rate 2" per minute
6" to 5' Very Caorse Sand
Percolation rate of 3" per mint*
Percolation rate 2" per minute
Percolation rat* 11 per ants
These tests, I believe, give a representative sample of the soil conditions
in the area that cannot be piped into the city sewer system.
