13 2 -Shallow soil depths generally less than 24 inches to unsuitable horizons / saprolite or parent material . 15 borings in Field III - 3 borings indicated soils meeting a classification of Provisionally Suitable for LPP systems . These borings were located in areas which leads to the estimation that approximately 2 , 510 linear feet of drainfield is located in Provisionally Suitable site/soil conditions . - 12 borings were classified as Unsuitable for the same reasons indicated above . SUMMARY Approximately 12 ,000/ 12, 240 linear feet or 982 of Phase I system was installed in soil and sites meeting a classification of Provisionally Suitable. Approximately 2 , 510/27 ,613 linear feet or less than 10 % of Phase II system was installed in soil and sites meeting a classification of Provisionally Suitable. With a total of 14 , 500 linear feet of system installed in Provisionally Suitable soil , the estimated capacity of the system in flow is approximately 7,250 Gallons Per Day. This is compared with: - the permitted regulatory flow of 12,240 Gallons Per Day based on DEM' s assumption of three bedroom homes, - and with the design flow rate of 15 ,360 Gallons Per Day based on the regulatory flow of 120 GPD per existing bedroom. Please keep in mind that these figures are only estimates based on the limited amount of evaluations done , but are indicative of the expected long term functionality of the system based on site and soil criteria. In this evaluation, we have not taken other factors into account such as installation techniques , proximity to embankments or monitoring wells , trench depths , system components and materials , design factors , or the present operating difficulties , all which affect system performance . Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this .
