PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS <br /> SSS§ 6.0,etc. To assess the permeability of the proposed disposal area soils, percolation test borings <br /> were completed as noted above. The three perc tests were conducted within the disposal area representing <br /> both the primary disposal and 100% reserve/replacement areas. <br /> After drilling,the sidewalis of the shallow boring were scored with a pry-bar to open potentially smeared <br /> soil surfaces and the cuttings removed. Two inches of pea gravel was placed at the bottom and a three-inch <br /> perforated PVC pipe was inserted in each test boring. After these procedures,the borings were pre- <br /> saturated with 12 inches of water approximately 24 hrs prior to the start of testing. <br /> On December 15,2025, percolation testing commenced at 1030 hrs. No standing water was observed in <br /> each test boring after the 24-hr soak period. EHD Perc Test Procedure#2 was conducted for a four-hour <br /> period to induce maximum soil saturation. As discussed below,the depth to groundwater has been as <br /> shallow as 50 ft below grade in this locale. <br /> A summary of the perc test results with corresponding application rates in gallons of effluent accepted per <br /> square foot of soil per day,are illustrated in Table 2 below: <br /> TABLE 2 <br /> PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS WITH CORRESPONDING <br /> APPLICATION RATES IN GALLONS/FT'/DAY <br /> 42" DEEP PERC TEST 83.3 min/inch / 0.123 gallons/ft'/day <br /> 130" DEEP PERC TEST 35.7 min/inch / 0.467 gallons/ft'/day <br /> 300" DEEP PERC TEST 41.7 min/inch / 0.400 gallons/ft/day <br /> Application Rates adapted from Waste Quality Control for Siting,Design,Operation and Maintenance of On-.rite Wastewater Treatment Systems,based on the Pen;Rate. <br /> Page -3- <br /> Chesney Engineering, Inc. <br />
