NLS§ 4.2, SSS§ 6.7, SSS§5.4,6.8. The soils directly underlying the proposed leachfield area <br /> reveals a permeability that correlates with the texture analysis of the sandy loam receiving soils. <br /> The effluent receiving soils possess an average acceptance rate of 0.70 gallons/sf/day. The <br /> Average Daily Flow(ADF)was determined to be 770 gallons/day(gpd). The receiving soils were <br /> calculated to manage 1,120 gpd and therefore, have ample capacity to manage the anticipated <br /> wastewater effluent flow volumes. <br /> A backhoe test pit dug adjacent to the existing leachfields reveals probable significant <br /> denitrification evidence, with the nitrate-nitrogen concentrations decreasing from the 8 ft depth to <br /> the 12 ft depth by 87% (23 ppm to 3 ppm). Given the soil physics occurring within the transition <br /> from a loamy sand to a sand,thus creating an anaerobic environment and promoting <br /> denitrification. Many more test pits would have to be dug to substantiate this premise. <br /> The domestic water well testing reveals a nitrate concentration exceeding the Maximum <br /> Contaminate Level for nitrate by 2.5x. A new public well to be drilled for the Winery is presently <br /> undergoing the permitting process. <br /> Nothing is to be stored on, and no vehicles are to be driven over the leachfield area. <br /> Consideration should be given to installing bollards or safety barriers around the leachfield since <br /> there is considerable truck traffic within the facility. <br /> Page -11- <br /> Chesney Consultin" <br />
