7NLS§ 3.3, SSS§ 5.3, 5.4. Table 1 below summarizes the analyzed soil physical and chemical <br /> eristics from the retrieved soil sample: <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> SOIL PROFILE CHARACTERISTICS AND <br /> ANALYTICAL TEST RESULTS <br /> SAMPLE I.D.DEPTH SOIL TEXTURE SOIL.NITRATE- pH AND <br /> CLASSIFICATION NITROGEN CONTENT CATION EXCHANGE CAPACITY <br /> In meq/100g <br /> 3 FT DEPTH Sandy Clay Loam 4 ppm NO;N 8.6 20.0 meq/1008 <br /> (CL,SC) <br /> 8 FT DEPTH Loamy Sand 12 ppm NO,-N 8.3 7.9 meq/100g <br /> ML,SM <br /> C. 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 /> PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS WITH CORRESPONDING SOIL TYPE, <br /> PERCOLATION RATE AND APPLICATION RATE IN GALLONS/FT'/DAY <br /> 36 INCH DEEP PERC TEST BORING 83.3 min/inch / 0.123 gallons/ft'/day <br /> SANDY CLAY LOAM <br /> i <br /> 96 INCH DEEP PERC TEST BORING 4.8 min/inch / 1.200 gallons/W/day <br /> LOAMY SAND <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
