As part of this evaluation, we <br /> conducted an iniiltration evaluation to determine the feasibility of infiltrating <br /> stormwater and roof runoff at the site. At the time of our study, we were p�ovided <br /> with a general location for the proposed infiltration areas. Our infiliration evaluation <br /> consisted of the following: <br /> r <br /> • Excavating eight test pRs at the proposed infiltration areas; <br /> • A textural analysis of representative soils from the infiltration areas; and <br /> • Intcrpreting the field data and laboratory analyses in order to �rovide infiltration <br /> rates for the proposed iniiltration areas. <br /> Textural Analvsis <br /> ( Subsurface conditions were evaluated by excavating eight test pits within the <br /> proposed infiltration locations. Test pit logs are presented in Appendix A. Grain size � <br /> analyses were conducted on representative soils, Based on our grain size analyses, <br /> the proposed infiltration areas in ihe vicinity of Test Pits TP-1 througn 7est Pit TP-6 <br /> are underlain by coarse sands. 7he proposed infiltration areas in the vicinity of Test <br /> Pit TP-7 is underlain by fine sandy loam, and Test Pit TP-8 is underiain by <br /> a roximatel five <br /> PP Y Seet of coarse sand overlying fine sandy loam. No groundwater ; <br /> seepage was encountered at the time of tf�e field work (June, 2UO2). <br /> The soil conditions enc�untered at the site are consistent witii geologic maps for this ' I <br /> vicinity. Soils in tf�e proposed development are mapped as advance glacial o�twash, <br /> consisting primarily of poorly sorted sands with variable gravel content underlying <br /> silty sand with gravel glacial till. <br /> Infiltration Recommendations <br /> E3ased on the results of the field eaploration and textural analyses, ii is ECI's opinion <br /> that infiltration of stormwater and roof runoff should be feasible in the proposed <br /> development areas in tha �icinity of T its TP-1 through i est Pit TP-6. For design, <br /> an ultimate ir,filtration rate of cwenty (2�0 inches per hour can be used. Infiltration in <br /> the vicinity of 7est Pit TP-7, below fiv fieet, and Test Pit TP-B will not be feasible. <br /> nb ConeultaMe, Inc. <br /> � � <br /> / �P�✓�(�l� A'1`�v ' <br /> 55 � <br /> i <br /> I <br />
