However, this <br /> material is extremely difficult to work with. Consequently,,it-is--our-strong-recommendation that a <br /> more-manageable-material-such as-a-sandy-silt-should be-imported-for the soil'cap;or cover. If <br /> landscaping of the mound is desired, drought tolerant grass may be planted on the mound. Instant <br /> sod lawn grass will help prevent erosion of the soil cap, but may retard <br /> evaporation/evapotranspiration. As referenced, the slopes must not exceed 3:1, which wil_ l-place <br /> the-height-of-the mound'at approximatel ,threee feet higher than surrounding ade. <br /> D. MOUND SYSTEM OPERATIONAL COMPONENTS <br /> CONFIGURATION OF PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK <br /> The distribution of piping must discharge the effluent uniformly over the gravel bed, with three-foot spaced <br /> k orifices so that effluent application area is --4 W/orifice. Force main (transport line) piping will be to <br /> center-feed manifold. Laterals connect to the manifold by"cross construction" and not"tee-to-tee." <br /> There will be a total of six laterals -three on each side of the manifold, 2.5 feet apart. Orifices shall be pre- <br /> drilled with a sharp drill and installed facing up, with orifice shields. Clean-outs at the distal ends of the <br /> six laterals will extend upward towards the ends of the mound with control valves at the"turn-up" and with <br /> access boxes, as shown on the Plans. <br /> 16 <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
