February 2, 1993 <br /> To Whom It Concerns: <br /> Soils over the 8 acre parcel are mapped by the USDA-SCS as a Elkmound <br /> sandy loam and Dodgeville silt loam. The 8 acre site is bisected by a <br /> drainageway which flows southwest to the northeast across the property. <br /> The soil on the higher ground, that is the northwest and southeast <br /> portions of the property, is mapped as the Elkmound while the Dogdeville <br /> occupies the drainageway and it's associated side slopes. <br /> Initial hand auger soil borings completed on the property indicate that <br /> the upland areas have shallow soils over bedrock. These areas would <br /> likely require a mound type septic system. Soils on the middle slope <br /> between the upland and bottom of the drainageway have deeper alluvial <br /> deposits. It appears that this area may be suitable for a more <br /> conventional in-ground septic system. The lower portions of the <br /> drainageway areas would not be suitable for the installation of a septic <br /> system. A detailed soil evaluation complete with backhoe pits will have <br /> to be completed to determine the best location for a septic system. <br /> Richard A.
