The monitoring ports are to-be four-inch PVC riser tubes, <br /> extending from the tops of the chambers to two feet above finished grade, with a screw type cap installed <br /> hand-tight. The PVC tubes are to be screwed to existing collar on top'of each chamber with stainless steel <br /> .screws. These observation tubes can be used-to check for effluent pooling and/or.unpredictable soil <br /> phenomena. <br /> IV. CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS.-AND MAINTENANCE <br /> SSS§ 5.4. The soils underlying the proposed chambered filter bed disposal area, referenced in this <br /> study as the "Potential West Side Disposal Area" show acceptable, albeit varied permeability. Only.a 48-inch deep perc test had unacceptable percolation out of six percolation tests and one backhoe <br /> test trench permeability test. Hardpan soil structure encountered in-the percolation drilling and <br /> backhoe test excavation procedures unquestionably influenced the percolation test results. <br /> Although the disposal area was ripped to eight feet prior to-planting-the vineyard, the hardpan strata <br /> have reformed and re-compacted, as observed. <br /> SSS§ 6.8. The AveQe2,493 <br /> y Flow t the highest anticipated time of the year- during harvest and <br /> crush, is calculatedit gals/ ay. The average Application Rate throughout:the tested soilprofile was 0.487.gaa average Application Rate of 0.517 gals/ft'/day was observed at <br /> the anticipated soil-effluent interface. Given the proposed number of chambers is to be 624, with an <br /> area under each chamber at 9.33 ft2, then the total area under_ the entire chambered disposal area= 624 <br /> x 9.33 = 5,822 ft2. <br /> The theoretical effluent volume that can be managed by the soil profile is: <br /> 0.487 gals/ft'/day x 5,822 ft' = 2,835 gals/day, 12% above the calculated maximum ADF. if the <br /> maximum ADF is distributed equally throughout the chambered system, we find: 2,493 gpd- 5,822 ft' <br /> = 0.428 gals/ft2/day of effluent applied, roughly equivalent to the acceptance rate fo the soil profile. <br /> O <br /> Considering the conservative criterion for a Long-Term Application Rate {LTAR) of <br /> 0.200 gals/ft2/day,this will theoretically manage an effluent volume of: <br /> 0.200 gals/ft'/day x 5,822 ft2 = 1,164 gals/day. <br /> 20 <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
