Heath Clapp, Trent Bostic, Brent Purdum, Julie Davidson, and Jeff <br /> Vaughan of Agri-Waste Technology, Inc. (AWT) conducted the soil evaluation. The <br /> detailed soil evaluation of the land area will follow. A property reference map is in <br /> Attachment 1. The permits for the existing wells and septic system on the property are <br /> also in Attachment 1. A review of the soil and landscape characteristics that dictate soil <br /> suitability for domestic sewage treatment and disposal systems can be found in <br /> Attachment 2. <br /> The total property area is approximately 125 acres. The property is mostly wooded, but <br /> there is one residence with associated septic system and wells, several outbuildings/barns, <br /> 2 ponds, and a vineyard on the property. There are several drainage features with <br /> moderate slopes on the property (Attachment 3). <br /> Soil Suitability for Domestic Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems <br /> The aerial map in Attachment 3 details the approximate property boundaries, soil boring <br /> locations, soil types, and soil areas for septic systems. Approximately 81 soil borings <br /> were advanced on the property on the property (Attachment 3). A portion of the property <br /> contained drainage features, complex topography, existing buildings, and/or unsuitable <br /> soils and, thus, are unsuitable for septic systems. However, this evaluation was merely a <br /> preliminary review to determine what potential this land might have for domestic sewage <br /> treatment and disposal systems. Therefore, specific types of septic systems, exact <br /> locations of future drainfields and repair areas, plus buffers from property lines (current <br /> and potential future lot lines),building foundations, wells, etc. are not fully considered. <br /> These things will need to be more fully considered as the plans develop for the potential <br /> 1 <br />
