Engineer's Field Observation Report
Client: Kara Smith and James DelFavero
Contractor: Morning Star Septic Service
Location: 10A Nelson Avenue, Saratoga Springs (Outside District)
TM # 179.-2-13
The vacant building lot at 10A Nelson Avenue was evaluated on August 27, 2019 by Kevin L.
Hastings, PE. Also present was Lou DeRidder, excavator for Morning Star Septic Service, Kara
Smith, and Julian DelFavero. The purpose of the field meeting was to conduct a soil percolation
test and a deep hole test pit to determine the feasibility for lot development prior to purchase.
Both excavations were located approximately 25 feet off the pavement of Nelson Avenue.
The deep hole test pit (TP-1) report:
0" – 4" Topsoil
4" -- 36" Medium brown sand
36" – 72" Tan sand
No ledge rock to depth
No seasonal high groundwater (mottling) to depth.
A standard percolation test hole was hand excavated to a depth of 24 inches, and presoaked for
20 minutes prior to time runs. The stabilized soil percolation rate was 1 minute 45 seconds.
CONCLUSION: We have determined by thorough investigation and field observation this vacant
building lot can support the development of a single family home. The observed soil conditions
were found to be typical of this region of the City of Saratoga Springs. NOTE: This report is
valid for planning & regulatory purposes and buyer's due diligence prior to purchase. However,
specific soil testing and engineering design for a building permit application shall be completed
at the proposed location of the sewage disposal system. —
