The top of the gravel or crushed rock fill should also be <br /> covered with the filter fabric liner. The remaining trenches should then be backfilled with <br /> compacted onsite clean sandy soils. The gravel or crushed rock fill should be placed in <br /> lifts no more than 10 inches thick in loose state, with each lift compacted to a non- <br /> yielding state with a vibratory mechanical compactor. The compaction and densification <br /> of trench fill is critical if it is to support roadways or driveways. Stormwater captured <br /> over paved roadways/driveways should be routed into a catch basin equipped with an oil- <br /> water separator before being released into the infiltration trenches. <br /> If maintaining groundwater quality is critical, the bottom of trenches should be filled with <br /> a minimum 12-inch layer of uncompacted amended soil. The amended soil should <br /> contain 40 percent (by volume) of compost, mixed with clean, medium to coarse, sand, to <br /> achieve an organic content of at least 10% by dry weight. The trenches are then filled <br /> with clean 3/4 to 1-1/2 inch washed gravel or crushed rock as recommended above. The <br /> dispersion pipes, constructed of 4-inch rigid perforated PVC pipes, should be laid level <br /> and completely enclosed by the gravel or crushed rock fill at about 24 inches below the <br /> top of trenches. The top of the gravel or crushed rock fill should also be covered with the <br /> filter fabric liner. The remaining trenches may then be backfilled with compacted onsite <br /> clean sandy soil. <br /> RISK EVALUATION STATEMENT <br /> The site is underlain at shallow depth by medium-dense to dense, Esperance sand deposits. <br /> These competent soils have moderately-high to high shear strength, and are of <br /> LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
