PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS <br /> SSS§6.2. To assess the permeability at the test depth which corresponds with the soil-effluent <br /> interface,the aforementioned percolation test boring was completed in the locations depicted on the <br /> Site Plan found in Appendix D. <br /> SSS§ 6.3. After drilling,the sidewall of the boring was scored with a pry-bar to open potentially <br /> smeared soil surfaces that may have occurred due to the clay soil. Two inches of fine gravel was <br /> placed at the bottom and three-inch perforated PVC pipe was inserted in the test boring. After these <br /> procedures, the boring was pre-saturated with 12 inches of water approximately 24 hrs prior to the <br /> start of testing. <br /> SSS§6.4, 6.5. On June 14, 2016, percolation testing commenced at 0600 hrs. No standing water <br /> was observed after the 24-hr soak period. Consequently, EHD Pere Test Procedure#2 was <br /> conducted. Testing was done over a four-hour period to induce maximum soil saturation. <br /> The test results indicate a perc rate of 62.5 min/in after complete soil saturation. A perc rate of 60 <br /> min/inch or faster is considered acceptable. The water level was not refilled to the starting level for <br /> the last 30 minute test,which slowed percolation due to lower head. This illustrates the effect that <br /> head pressure has on soil permeability. A summary of the perc test results with corresponding <br /> application rates in gallons of effluent accepted per square foot of soil per day are illustrated in Table <br /> 2: <br /> TABLE 2 <br /> PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS WITH CORRESPONDING <br /> APPLICATION RATES IN GALLONS/FT'/DAY <br /> 36 INCH DEEP PERC TEST BORING 62.5 min/inch / 0.190 gallons/ftp/day <br /> k PERCOLATION RATE/APPLICATION RATE <br /> OFFICIAL PERC TEST <br /> . } Application Rates adapted from Waste QualityConllnifor Siting Design,Operation and Malmenmrce ofOn-site Wasteanier Treatment S)vsterrrs and is based on die Pero Rate. <br /> it <br /> k ' <br /> l 1 <br /> ti <br /> Page -3- <br /> ' Chesney Consulting <br /> 1 ., <br />
