Filter Bed Calculations <br /> Traditional Leach line Requirements = (BTC+ADF) * Soil Factor <br /> = (1,200 gallons + 1,095 gallons) * 0.25 (Silty Clay) <br /> = 574 ft <br /> Minimum sf at soil effluent =574 * 4 (Soil Bed Factor) = 2,296sf< 3,500sf <br /> Due to high ground water elevations a filter bed will be deployed using the Soil Acceptance Rate as a basis <br /> for design: <br /> Based upon percolation test location PT-3 of the percolation summary report prepared by CTS dated <br /> October 18, 2021, an average percolation rate of 40min/in will be used, and per the OWTS Policy of the <br /> SWRCB, Table 3, the soil acceptance rate is 0.422 gal/sf/day. Furthermore, a factor of safety of 1.25 will <br /> be utilized resulting in a soil acceptance rate of 0.337 gal/sf/day. <br /> Maximum ADF for Soil Acceptance Rate = 0.377 gal/sf/day* 3,500 sf= 1,181 gal/day <br /> Actual square footage: <br /> Total sf= 70 ft/leach line * 10 ft/leach line * 5 leach lines = 3,500 sf <br /> V. Design and Operational Specifications for Pump Stations and the <br /> Filter Beds: <br /> Pump: Zoller 163 1/2hp with 2" FM. <br /> Discharge Assembly:The 2"discharge pipe from the dosing tank will be connected to a 4" PVC tight <br /> line by a 2X4 reducer— this will reduce the energy by decreasing the velocity in the pipe. This 4" <br /> PVC tight line will be a minimum of 30 linear feet long before discharging into the distribution box. <br /> The distribution box is designed with a 2" drop at the entrance. <br /> There will be a total of five (5) outflow pipes connected to a distribution box.All pipes will be 4" PVC <br /> tight lines and range in length, with the minimum length being 2 linear feet. At the transition to the <br /> perforated lines, the pipes will drop 2" to the edge of the leach field. At the edge of the leach field, <br /> the 4" PVC tight lines will be connected to perforated leach lines. All perforated leach lines will lay <br /> flat and have a 4" diameter. <br /> Laterals for Each Filter Bed:4" PVC perforated lines with inspection parts. Pipes will be 70 feet long <br /> and placed at 10 feet on-center across 50 linear feet. <br /> VI. Nitrate Loading Study & Soil Suitability Study: <br /> The Nitrate Loading and Soil Suitability Study performed by Chesney Consulting in 2019 can be found in <br /> Appendix A, and the County Nitrate Loading Analysis with the proposed ADF for Buildings H and I can be <br /> found in Appendix B. <br /> Stockton San Jose Sacramento Modesto <br /> 3428 Brookside Rd. 111 N.
