NLS§ 3.3, SSS§ 5.3. Table 1 below summarizes the surface and subsurface soil characteristics tested from the soil sample: TABLE 1 SOIL PROFILE CHARACTERISTICS AND ANALYTICAL TEST RESULTS SAMPLE LOCATION SAND, SILT AND CLAY SOIL SOIL NITROGEN pH AND (SAMPLE NUMBER) PERCENTAGES CLASSIFICATION CONTENT CATION EXCHANGE CAPACITY DISPOSAL AREA 15.6%, 51.9°/,, 32.5% Silt Clay Loam 16 ppm NO, -N 7.6 19.2 meq/100g (36-42) C. PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS SSS§ 6.2. To assess the permeability of the proposed disposal area, a percolation test was completed in the location depicted on the Percolation Test Field Data Sheet found in Appendix C. SSS§ 6.3. On February 24, 2022, a 42" deep percolation test boring was hand-drilled.in the referenced location. The sidewall was scored with a pry -bar to open potentially smeared surfaces. Two inches of pea gravel was placed at the bottom and three-inch perforated PVC pipe was inserted to prevent cave-ins. The test boring was pre -saturated with 12 inches of water at 0800 hrs, 24 hrs before the start of testing. SSS§ 6.4, 6.5. On February 25, 2022, percolation testing commenced. No standing water was observed after the 24 -hr soak period. Consequently, EHD Perc Test Procedure #2 was conducted in which testing was done over a four-hour period to induce maximum soil saturation. The test results reveal a passing perc rate of 17.9 min/in. A summary of the perc test results with corresponding application rates in gallons of effluent accepted per square foot of soil, per day, are found in Table 2: TABLE 2 PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS FOR THE PRIMARY DISPOSAL AREA WITH CORRESPONDING APPLICATION RATES IN GALLONS / FT / DAY 42 INCH DEEP PERC TEST BORING 17.9 min/inch / 0.686 gallons/ft'/day PERCOLATION RATE / APPLICATION RATE Application Rates adapted from Water Quality Control Policy for Siting, Design, Operation, and Maintenance of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems.
