Analysis of Infiltration Results at a Proposed North Carolina Wastewater Treatment Site.

Abstract

A 6-ft diam flooding infiltration test was conducted at a proposed wastewater land treatment site near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The standard infiltration rate of the soil was 0.13 in./hr, and the reaeration rate of the saturated soil was equivalent to 1.35 in. of water after six days. A conservative wastewater application rate at this site would be between 1 and 2 in./wk.
