Perculation Test on new Site

[doyler]

Hi There

I have recently got a perculation Test done on a site which we have and the guy who done the test did not soak the holes before doing the test. how much of an effect would this have on the results? my opinon is it would have a great affect on the results. any comments appriciated as i would like to talk to him about this and weather he should re do the test before planing is sent in.

Thanks

forgot to mention he was very strong about a bio plant when first arrived on site but after i done some research on how the test should be done and results of other tests done in the imidate area it looks like now a tank will sufice! i want to make sure it is done right and not be sorry in a few years time?

if a proper test is undertaken to EPA guidelines by a certified assessor, a corresponding treatment system to match site conditions will be obvious.

the Epa recommend you soak twice before doing test - which was not done so results will be wrong too no??
