PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS <br />SSS§ 6.2. The aforementioned percolation test borings were completed in the location depicted on <br />the attached Site Plan to assess the permeability of the disposal area soils. <br />SSS§ 6.3. After drilling the shallow test boring, the sidewalls were scored with a pry-bar to open <br />potentially smeared sidewalls. The deep 8 ft boring was not scored due to the soil structure. Two <br />inches of fine gravel was placed at the bottom and three-inch dia. perforated PVC pipe was inserted <br />in each test boring. After drilling, the test borings were pre-saturated with 12 inches of water, 24 hrs <br />prior to the start of testing. Maximum soil saturation conditions were achieved to determine the <br />saturated permeability of the two different soil structures encountered. <br />SSS§ 6.4, 6.5. On October 11, 2019, percolation testing commenced at 0730 hrs. No standing <br />water was observed after the 24-hr soak period in either boring. Consequently, EHD Perc Test <br />Procedure #2 was conducted whereby testing was done over a four-hour period with readings taken <br />every 30 minutes. <br />A summary of the perc test results with corresponding application rates in gallons of effluent <br />accepted per square foot of soil per day are illustrated in Table 2. The corresponding application rate <br />was obtained from Page 24 of the OWTS Policy - Water Quality Control Policy for Siting. Design, <br />Operation, and Maintenance of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems. <br />TABLE 2 <br />3 <br />Chesney Consulting
