(3) Occupied buildings 20 feet
l4) La.rge trees (see alternate in item 4f(4) of this section) 10 feet
(5) Property lines or buried pipe distributing water under pressure 10 feet
b. When coarse soil formations are encountered, the distance specified in
items 4a Ci) and (2) shall be increased appropriately.

lines shall be constructed on a relatively level grade, not to exceed six inches dif-
ference in elevation.
1 T
(6) Where the slope of· the_ ground surface exceeds six inches in any direction

The bottom of the trenches and distribution lines shall be constructed on a relatively
level_ grade. The distribution· tile system shall be arranged so that each trench shall
be filled with septic tank effluent before effluent flows to succeeding trenches.
The invert of the overflow pipe in _the first relief line shall be·:at least four inches

d. Minimum seepage area of the disposal field (total flat area of trench bottom
exclusive of sidewall area) shall be determined by the following percolation test
procedure as applied to Table 3.

test~oles spaced uniformly over the proposed absorption field site.
\
(2) Type of test hole. A hole with horizontal dimensions of four to twelve
inches and vertical sides shall be dug or bored to the depth of the proposed ab-
sorption trench. The holes may be bored with an auger of not less than four-inch
diameter.
(3) Preparation of test hole. The bottom and sides of the hole shall be care-
fully scratched with a knife blade or sharp pointed instrument to remove any smeared
soil surfaces and to provide a natural soil interface into which water may perco-
late. All loose material shall be removed from the hole andtwo inches of course sand
or fine_ gravel shall be added to. protect the bottom from scouring.
(4) Saturation and swelling of the soil. The hole shall be carefully filled
with clear water to_ a minimum depth of 12 inches ~ver the gravel. Water shall be
kept in the 111e for at least four hours, and preferably overnight, by refilling if
necessary, or by supplying a surplus reservoir of water, such Jts an automatic siphon.
In sandy soils containi_ng little or·no clay, the selli_ng procedure shall not be re-
quired and.the test may be made as described under item 4d(S) (c) after the water
from one filling of the hole has completely seeped away.
(5) Percolation rate measurement. With the exception of sandy soils, per-
colation rate measurements shall be made on the day following the procedure des-
cribed under item 4d(4).
I
BOOK f·1 PAGE31,f
(a) If water remains in the test hole after the overnight swelling period,
the depth shall be adjusted to approximately six inches over the gravel. From a
fixed reference point the drop in water level shall be measured over a 30 minute
period. This drop'shall be used to calculate the percolation rate.
(b) If no water remains i~ the hole after the overn_ight swelling period,
clear water· shall be added to bring the depth of water_ in the hole to approximately
six inches over the gravel. From·a fixed reference point the drop in water level
shall be measured at approximately 30 minute intervals for four hours, refil:l.ing
six inches over the_ gravel if necessary. The drop that occurs duri_ng the final
30 minute period shall be used to calculate the percolation rate.
(c) In sandy soils or other soils in which the first six inches of water
seeps away in less thk 30 minutes-after the overnight swelHng period, the time
interval between measurements shall be taken as ten minutes and the test shall be
run for one hour. The drop.that occurs during the final ten minutes shall be used
to calculate the percolation·rate.

where impermeable layers are found at depths of less than 6½ feet shall be con-
sidered to be of.special design.
