atiRtransflams <br />Infiltration Rate <br />The soils of a prospective site are an important consideration when determining the suitability for infiltration. <br />County soil surveys are useful for preliminary screening of a site for soil infiltration rate. The Natural Resource <br />Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) Soil Group is found in the National Engineering <br />Handbook. Conservative estimates of infiltration rates for a range of hydrologic soil groups (A through D) have <br />been developed for some Minnesota authorities and are shown below (Riley- Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed <br />District, 1999). <br />Soil Group <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />Rate (in/hr) <br />Max. Water Depth (ft) <br />0.38 <br />0.23 <br />0.1 <br />0.03 <br />2 <br />1.4 <br />0.6 <br />0.2 <br />If these estimates are deemed too conservative for the site, a geologic investigation of the specific site should be <br />conducted to verify higher infiltration rates. Infiltration rates should be measured in situ according to the stan- <br />dards presented in: <br />• Annual Book of ASTM Standards, 1997, Section 4, Vol 4.08, Soil and Rock (I): Designation D 3385 -94, <br />Standard Test Method for Infiltration Rate of Soils in Field Using a Double -Ring Infiltrometer, pp 331 -337. <br />• Annual Book ofASTMStandards, 1998, Section 4, Vol 4.09, Soil and Rock (II): Designation D 5093 -90, <br />Standard Test Method for Field Measurement and Infiltration Rate Using a Double -Ring Infiltrometer with a <br />Sealed -Inner Ring, pp 87 -92. <br />• Johnson, A.I., 1963, "A field method for measurement of infiltration," United States Geological Survey, <br />Water- Supply Paper, W 1544 -F, p. F1 -F27. <br />The depth of water within the infiltro -ter should be maintained at the following depths: <br />Hydrologic Soil Type Water Depth (Inches) <br />A 18 <br />B 9 <br />C 4 <br />D <br />1 <br />Notes on alternative infiltration measurement methods: <br />• Alternative methods other than reference standards should use a double -ring apparatus and be acceptable <br />to local authorities. <br />Metropolitan Council / Barr Engineering Co. 3 -161 <br />
