For infiltration basins, City standards require soil <br /> textural analyses to be performed on soil samples taken from <br /> \I the site in the area of the infiltration basin. Soil <br /> � samples should be taken at the location of the infiltration <br /> facility at two depths - the elevation of the bottom of the <br /> proposed system and 3 feet below the bottom of the proposed <br /> system. However, if the soil on the site appears uniform to <br /> the soil investigator, only one sample needs to be analyzed. <br /> \/ The design infiltration rate is determined using the chart <br /> `�" on paqe 4-13 of the City's standards and the results of the <br /> soil textural analyses. <br /> �oil/water separation and qrit removal is required upstream <br /> of the infiltration basin per the standards found in section <br /> 4-11. <br /> �he following information is required for City review and � <br /> pproval of infiltration basins: <br /> 1) soil log results <br /> 2) depth to high water mark, bedrock or hardpan, <br /> and/or impermeable soil layer <br /> 3) textural class of representative soil samples <br /> 4) the design infiltration rate <br /> 5) stage-storage relationship of basin <br /> 6) results of routing the design storm through the <br /> facility � <br /> 7) sizing calculations for the oil/water separation � <br /> and grit removal system i <br /> EJ �;�c� Oil/water seoaration and arit removal vault: <br /> �t'�t�� � �1��"��trarCity standards call for these vaults to have a minimum <br /> �, c�" �(^ design flow determined by using the rational formula with a <br /> �� � rainfall intensity of 0.5 inches per hour over the <br /> ��°.���,�^ ' _ �) contributing area. The vault is required to provide a 15 <br /> � ���; minute detention time for the design flow. <br /> (�' , 1� a City standards require flows larger than the 3esign flow to <br /> r �`� �r, • be bypassed around the vault. The crown of the vault inlet <br /> P„ti"�" should be at or below the invert elevation of the bypass <br /> pipe. The vault inlet pipe should be sized to convey the <br /> design flow under the head present when the invert of the <br /> overflcw pipe is reached. <br /> The flow through the vault should not exceed the maximum <br /> process flow (the largest flow the separator can handle <br /> before accumulated oil begins to be flushed out) when the <br /> head needed to pass the 25 year storm is reached in the <br /> highflow bypass pipe. <br />
