HYDROLOGY. il The Tuscan Formation intervcicanic sediments have excellent Water I . bearing layers, and also layers that are essentially non-Water bear- Ing', There are seperated from each other by clay, tuff-breccia, and silt beds. The groundwater potential in this area varies depending on local; conditions. There are several shallow (35-60 feet) water bearing strata on the property and a good water table. .A tributary of Little Ohi.co Creek flows through the property. This stream bed is dry immediately northeast of the Starr property line, but a spr- ing is. present in the northern e:orner of Parcel 2 which yields a perennial flow. Several good wells are present in the immediate area., including 1. Starr well, 50 feet deep, 40 gpm production from 48 feet. 2. Mountain Subdivision Well., 43 gpm production from 35 to 60 feet. !Extensive pump testing of this well in 1980 had no effect on the surrounding wells. These wells were tested under the supbtVi8ioi7 of Wossley VJ. Paulsen, Goal %ical.-Engineer, according' to the exact stan8.ards agreed upon and specified by the County of Butte. Par pump test records, the County may refer to the Martone-Mountain Village Subdivision Report by Paulson on: May 13 and April. 30, 1980. 3.

It is'highly improbable that future surfade displacement or ground rupture related to seismic aoti.vi. ty will occur. Geotogid Bond- i.tiohO are excellent for Water Well production and leach line instar. ation due to horizontal stratification and poorly � ,� permeable to impermeable beds, y SOILS The deeply weathered Aiken Soils on the property contain primarily clay and silt sized particles ideal for standard septic -lank systems Referring to State Water Quality Control Board Data it is noted that sewage effluent with 20 feet or more of travel through this,,type . and_ size material will be free of bacteria. Other published data indicate that is will also be free ,of viral pathoge s, With respect to the ,parcel sizes proposed hi the re- zoning application, septic tanks can be safely located on the, parcels; and no contamination should occur to Wells within, the subdivision or to neighboring wells, it is my opinion that Sewage effluent will spread laterally and slightly downward in the iMMed- iate area of the leach line and be used by evapo-transpiratioil. Our work indicates that -standard_9S _tj wank and-loach.. lanes will_ perform satisfactorily in the area, thAt, conditions for such=meet the requirements of butte County► and that there Will be no adverse effects of this SeWAge disposal upon the neigh- boring wells, HYDROLOGY The-roundwater potential in the local area surrounding the Starrproper r i s _adec�,uate for the parcel size .ptot6sed.
