PERCOLATION TEST RESULTS <br /> SSS§ 6.2. The permeability of the proposed leachline soils and seepage pit soils was assessed <br /> through percolation testing and a falling head permeability test. Test locations are depicted on the <br /> project Site Plan. <br /> SSS§ 6.3. After drilling;the sidewalls of the two shallow borings were scored with a pry-bar to <br /> open potentially smeared soil surfaces and the cuttings removed. Two inches of pea gravel was <br /> placed at the bottom and a three-inch perforated PVC pipe was inserted in each of the four test <br /> borings. After these procedures,the borings were pre-saturated with 12 inches of water <br /> approximately 24 hrs prior to the start of testing. <br /> SSS§6.4, 6.5. On September 1, 2022,percolation testing commenced at 1000 hrs for the two deep <br /> test borings. No standing water was observed in these borings after the 24-hr pre-soak period. <br /> Consequently, EHD Perc Test Procedure#2 was conducted. Testing was done over a four-hour <br /> period to induce maximum soil saturation. A summary of the perc test results with corresponding <br /> application rates in gallons of effluent accepted per square foot of soil per day, along with the <br /> averages, are illustrated below. <br /> On September 2,2022,perc tests for the two shallow test borings,representative of the proposed <br /> leachlines was conducted. Testing protocol was the same as for the two deep test borings. <br /> Unexpected results were obtained, which are discussed in the Conclusions Section. <br /> Page -3- <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
