The subsurface soils generally consisted of silty fine to <br /> medium sand with gravel,which we interpreted as native,glacial soils. <br /> Infiltration Pit One: We conducted a Small PIT within Infiltration Pit One, as shown on the Schematic <br /> Site Plan in Figure 2. The test was conducted within a pit that measured 3.6-feet long by 5.0-feet wide by <br /> 3.0-feet deep.We filled the pit with 12-inches of water at the beginning of the day and were able to maintain <br /> the water level for the duration of the soaking period for approximately 6 hours.At this time,the water flow <br /> rate into the hole was monitored with a Great Plains Industries(GPI)TM 075 flow meter for the pre-soak <br /> period. <br /> After the 6-hour soaking period was completed,the water level was maintained at 12.0-inches for one hour <br /> for the steady-state period. The flow rate for Infiltration Pit Two stabilized at 0.86 gallons per minute(51.6 <br /> gallons per hour).This equated to an approximate infiltration rate of 4.60 inches per hour. The water was <br /> shut off after the steady-state period and monitored at least every 15 minutes for an hour. At the end of the <br /> monitoring period,the water level within the pit had dissipated by 3.0 inches, resulting in an infiltration <br /> rate of 3.0 inches per hour. <br /> Infiltration Pit Two: We conducted a Small PIT within Infiltration Pit Two,as shown on the Schematic <br /> Site Plan in Figure 2.The test was conducted within a pit that measured 3.6-feet long by 5.2-feet wide by <br /> 3.0-feet deep.We filled the pit with 12-inches of water at the beginning of the day and were able to maintain <br /> the water level for the duration of the soaking period for approximately 6 hours.At this time,the water flow <br /> rate into the hole was monitored with a Great Plains Industries(GPI)TM 075 flow meter for the pre-soak <br /> period. <br /> After the 6-hour soaking period was completed,the water level was maintained at approximately 12-inches <br /> for one hour for the steady-state period. The flow rate for Infiltration Pit Two stabilized at 1.77 gallons per <br /> minute(106.2 gallons per hour). This equated to an approximate infiltration rate of 9.10 inches per hour. <br /> The water was shut off after the steady-state period and monitored at least every 15 minutes for <br /> approximately two and a half hours. At the end of the monitoring period,the water level within the pit had <br /> dissipated by 6.25 inches,resulting in an infiltration rate of 2.5 inches per hour. <br /> Long Term Rate: In accordance with the Table 3.5 of the Department of Ecology 2014 SWMMWW, <br /> correction factors of 0.8, 0.5, and 0.9 for CFv,CFt, CFm,respectively were applied to the field measured <br /> infiltration rate of 3.0 and 2.5 inches per hour, obtained from the falling-head portion of the testing in <br /> Infiltration Pits One and Two,respectively. A total correction factor of 0.36 was applied to the measured <br /> field infiltration rates obtained from the falling head portion of the tests to determine the long-term design <br /> infiltration rates. <br /> NELSON GEOTECHNICAL ASSOCIATES, INC. 94 <br />
