It is our <br /> understanding that individual septic systems and public water supplies will be utilized at this site. <br /> All soil ratings and determinations were made in accordance with "Laws and Rules for <br /> Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems, 15A NCAC 18A .1900". This report represents my <br /> professional opinion as a Licensed Soil Scientist but does not guarantee or represent permit <br /> approval for any lot by the Local Health Department (LHD). An improvement permit for all <br /> residences will need to be obtained from the LHD that specifies the proposed home size and <br /> location, and the design and location of the septic system to be installed. <br /> The site is currently wooded. An existing home in the vicinity of Lot 10 was removed <br /> and the septic system abandoned. An overhead electric line that served the home will be <br /> relocated. <br /> Lots 14, 6, 7, 12-17, 19, and 20 each appear to contain enough useable soils for septic to <br /> support a four bedroom home for one residence. Lot 5 is likely limited to a 3 bedroom home due <br /> to the smaller amount of useable septic soils on this lot. The most adequate locations for the <br /> septic drainfields of lots 14, 15, 19 and 20 are in the very rear of their properties. Pump tanks <br /> will be necessary on these lots to reach these locations. <br /> A portion of each of these lots was observed to be underlain by provisionally suitable <br /> soils for subsurface sewage waste disposal. These provisionally suitable soils were observed to <br /> be predominately firm clays to greater than 36 inches and appear adequate to support long term <br /> acceptance rates of 0.3 to 0.4 gal/day/sgft. Some of the soils mapped as provisionally suitable on <br /> the attached map are limited in soil depth to the extent that systems that can be installed ultra <br /> shallow will likely be required. This requirement will necessitate the addition of up to <br /> approximately 6 inches of topsoil to completely cover the system in these areas. These soils <br /> shown as provisionally suitable will adequately function as sewage waste disposal sites but will <br /> require additional drainline due to clayey textured subsoil characteristics.
