permeability, soil type and soil depth
drainage, and envisaged seasonal changes in ground water level
general climate
slope and the effects of seepage and water run-off from surrounding higher ground
Three test holes were excavated within each allotment in the positions shown in the attached site sketch. These
holes were 100mm diameter x 600 mm deep for the purpose of site soil assessment in accordance with the AS
1547 - 2012. A further 100mm diameter hole was excavated to determine the soil profile. The site was then
classified in accordance with AS 1547 – 2012 On-Site Wastewater Management for the purposes of effluent
disposal.
