❑ Depth observed standing water in observation hole inches Inches
A. B.
❑ Depth weeping from side of observation hole Inches Inches
A. 1A=40, 1B=36 B.TP-2A=36, 2B=36, 2C=34
® Depth to soil redoximorphic features (mottles) Inches Inches
A. B.
❑ Groundwater adjustment(USGS methodology) Inches Inches
2 Index Well Number Reading Date Index Well Level
Adjustment Factor Adjusted Groundwater Level
E. Depth of Pervious Material
1. Depth of Naturally Occurring Pervious Material
a. Does at least four feet of naturally occurring pervious material exist in all areas observed throughout the area proposed for the soil
absorption system?
® Yes ❑ No Recommend do not use TP-2A or Perc-2A for septic system site
