1 Infiltration Testing For Stormwater BMPs: What Would Mickey Mouse Do? CCLC Turning A New Leaf November 3, 2017 David J. Hirschman Hirschman Water & Environment, LLC dave@hirschmanwater.com
2 Objectives: Provide a deeper understanding of the pros and cons of various methods for measuring infiltration for stormwater management practices. Discuss a risk-based approach so that infiltration testing can be costeffective, relevant, and not just a numbers-game.
3 C mon Mousekateers... Let s Do An Infiltration Test!
4 Terminology Soil infiltration: Rate at which stormwater enters the soil. Influenced by soil structure, compaction, organic matter, moisture content, and other physical characteristics at the soil surface. Soil permeability Rate at which stormwater flows through the soil. NOTE: Infiltration and Permeability are often used interchangeably in many reference materials. Soil Hydraulic Conductivity: Hydraulic conductivity (K) of a given soil can be related to its infiltration and permeability. The rate at which water enters the soil, infiltration, under optimal conditions, starts very fast and then declines and eventually approaches a constant rate of entry. This constant rate of infiltration is... technically defined as the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat). Tested at soil property that is most limiting to soil movement

8 Soil Compaction Decreases Water storage Infiltration rate Ability to grow vegetation Increases Ponding time Overflow volume Can be avoided in critical areas Site Planning (don t pave over the soils that are most suitable for stormwater control) Photo Credit:
9 Infiltration Testing for Stormwater BMPs Purpose of Test: Determine whether an infiltration practice is feasible Determine need for an underdrain system for bioretention, permeable pavement, etc. Understand soils at depth in location
10 Virginia DEQ 2011: Appendix 8-A, Infiltration & Soil Testing Test pit OR soil boring (1 per 1,000 square feet of practice area) At bottom of practice + 2 feet deeper Pre-soak for 24 hours Fill 24, measure drop over 1 hour Repeat 3X

14 Virginia DEQ 2013: Appendix 8-A, Infiltration & Soil Testing Initial site evaluation/screening Soil profile (pit) Infiltration Field test Tube Permeameter Method (ASTM D 2434); Double-Ring Infiltrometer (ASTM D 3385); Basin flooding test for bedrock; or other constant head permeability tests that utilize in-situ conditions and accompanied by a recognized published source reference. Bottom of practice + 4 feet deeper or double ponding depth Seasonal High Water Table

21 Review of 24 States, Counties, Cities (Larry Johnson & Vincent Day) Double-ring Infiltrometer (ASTM 3385) = 11 Constant Head Borehole Permeater (USBR ) = 11 Single-ring Infiltrometer = 8 Falling-head Borehole = 8
22 From Larry Johnson, Vincent Day It is very important to adhere to hydraulic conductivity testing methods that are recognized published standards or are based on high-quality published academic or controlled field studies and are verified by adequate testing under actual field conditions. We have not found that the falling-head borehole method we are discussing here meets either of the above conditions... This method is thought to provide a very nonconservative infiltration rate. Stormwater infiltration systems require extensive planning, engineering, testing, construction, and maintenance costs. If these systems fail after construction, the environmental and reconstruction costs can be very significant. Unfortunately, these systems often do often fail for various reasons.

36 Engineering Standards require a # to inform yes/no decisions
37 Infiltration Testing Thoughts: A Risk-Based Approach? Depends on size, drainage area, sophistication of practice AND risks associated with failure (e.g., residential yard vs. elementary school or public library) Cost and need for outside professional will be driving factors Soil scientist can tell a lot by examining soil with or w/out a final # -- chasing a # using a Mickey Mouse test may not provide good results
