SUBJECT: Building Permit Denial
LOCATION: Lot 11, Block 3 - Greenwood Shores
TELEPHONE 474-8865
MEMBERS PRESENT: Ward Passe, Dean Scheff, Hibbert Hill
A request made by Monahan Builders for a building permit
which was denied because the perculation test did not pass
the maximum per rate of sixty. The two test holes indicated
a rate of 120 and 160.
A motion was made by Ward Passe and seconded by Dean
Scheff to reccommend that the Council deny the building permit
on the grounds of the perculation test.

RESULTS
The log of soils encountered and water level observations are plotted on the attached soil boring
log sheet.
The boring encountered a 1-;cot stratum of black plastic loam topsoil at the surface. Between the
1 and 15-foot derihs, the boring encountered a brown to brown mottled with grey clay loam to clay.
Water was not encountered in probing the boring immediately after completion and was indicated
at the 3-foot depth, or about elevation 95 on the assures d datum, when rechecked one day later,
The water level in the previous boring was at the 4-foot depth or at about elevation 93.7 on the
assumed datum. Water levels should be expected to show normal seasonal and annual fluctuations.
Percolatior 'ests were taker of the following elevations and encountered the indicated soils:
Surfore Soil at
Test` FIevet;on Test Depth Rate
P-i 97.1 Clay Loam to Clay
P-2 99.0 Clay. Loam to Clay
Water standing in percolation test holes at about the 2-foot depth - no percolation rate
measurement possible.
CONCLUSfONS
The results of these and the previous tests and borings would seem to indicate that a conventional
drainfield or seepage pit would not be possible on this lot. We then understand that you plan to
use an aeration system. It is our opinion that this type of system would be the most desirable for
your lot.

RESULTS

8/2/68
The log of soils encountered and water level observations are plotted on the attached soil boring
log sheet.
The boring encountered a 1-foot stratum of dark brown clay loam at the surface. Between the 1
and 15-foot termination depths, the boring encountered a brown clay loam with a little fine gravel.
Water was encountered at the 9.5-foot depth when measured one-half hour after completion and
at the 4-foot depth when rechecked one day later. Heavy rains had fallen on the night previous "
to the taking of the boring. The rather high water level recorded in the boring is then possibly
a function of excess moisture in the ground flowing into the test boring.
Percolation tests indicated soil absorptivities, in minutes per inch (mpi), as follows:
Surface
Testy
Soil at
Elevation
Test Depth
Rate m i
P
P-1 98.5
Clay Loam
360'��
P-2 96.3
Clay Loam
60
The rather high percolation rates recorded in these two tests could possibly be a function of
ground water flowing into the percolation test holes. However, it should be noted that the
type of soil encountered in these tests and boring are generally not very absorptive.
If we can be of further assistance, kindly contact us at your convenience.
