2 <br /> i <br /> Basin, which has been challanged by some local water resource <br /> experts, represents the bulk of the material assembled to this <br /> point, on the County's potential ground water yields. <br /> The mapping and information to be presented to the Board <br /> showing the various soil types of orange County and the <br /> suitability or assimilative capacity of those soils for on- <br /> site sanitary waste treatment was prepared and first presented <br /> to the Board of Health by the County Health Department' s soil <br /> scientist. This information is very general in nature in that <br /> it tends to focus on broad soil trends in large areas of the <br /> County. The soil mapping, in its present form, is far too <br /> general to make predictions of the suitability of soils on a <br /> specific site or in a specific area for any particular type of <br /> waste treatment technology. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report <br /> as information. <br />
