September 10, 2017 <br /> Infiltration Tests <br /> L&A Job No. 17-095 <br /> Page 6 <br /> The initial infiltration rates of the infiltration tests, Kaat initial, determined from the <br /> infiltration tests, are to be corrected according to the following equation to get the design <br /> infiltration rates, Ksat. <br /> Ksat = CFT x Ksat initial , where CFT= CF v x CFt x CFm <br /> where, CF., = factor of variability and number of locations tested, = 0.33 to 1.0 <br /> CFt= factor of uncertainty of test method, =0.5 for small scale test, and <br /> CF. 0.9. <br /> Use a middle value 0.65 for CF , thus, CFT = (0.65) (0.5) (0.9) = 0.29. The design Ksat <br /> values, shown in attached APPENDIX, were thus determined to be 0.93 iph (inch per <br /> hour) for Test IT-1 and 0.58 iph for test IT-2. We recommend that an infiltration rate of <br /> 0.5 iph be used in design of the access roads with pervious pavement. <br /> LIMITATIONS <br /> This report has been prepared for the specific application to the subject project for the <br /> exclusive use by RV Hardt Properties, LLC, and its associates, representatives, <br /> consultants and contractors.
