PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS SSS§ 6.2. To assess the permeability at the prescribed depths of the on-site soils, the four �l aforementioned percolation test borings were completed in the locations depicted on the Site Plan ) found in Appendix C. The deep test boring was terminated at 24.5 ft below grade instead of the maximum seepage pit depth of 25 ft due to slight discrepancies in the drill rig auger stem. C SSS§ 6.3. After drilling the perc test borings, the sidewalls of the shallow and medium depth borings were scored with a pry-bar to open potentially smeared sidewalls. The deep boring could not be scored due to its depths. Two inches of fine gravel was placed at the bottom and three-inch perforated PVC pipe was inserted in each test boring. After the drilling procedures, each boring was la pre-saturated with 6 inches of water(except for the deep boring'which was presaturated with 36 inches of water) at 1500 hrs, -17 hrs prior to the start of testing. SSS§ 6.4, 6.5. On May 15, 2011,percolation testing commenced at 0800 hrs. Approximately three inches of standing water was observed after the 24-hr soak period in both 40-inch deep test borings. f Consequently, EHD Pere Test Procedure #1 were conducted for these test borings. No standing water was observed in the 8.5 ft and 24.5 ft test borings, therefore EHD Pere Test Procedure #2 was conducted for these two test• 5orings. Testing was done C a four-hour period to induce maximum soil saturation. Only40-inch test boring and W 94 ' ch deep boring are recognized as "official" by EHD. Thch deep boring is uno cial and was conducted to measure the permeability of the encountered soil characteristics at this depth, which would be representative of sumps. The test results indicate a virtually nonexistent perc rate at the 40-inch depth test depth after complete soil saturation, and favorable perc rates at the deeper depths. A summary of the perc test results with corresponding application rates in gallons of effluent accepted per square foot of soil per day are illustrated in Table 2: 1 4 , Chesney Consulting
