3 Outline Soil Importance on Defining the Target Condition Underlying Soils & Infiltration by SCMs Utilizing Soil / Media to Sequester/ Mitigate Pollutants Phosphorus, Temperature, + MediaDepths Minimizing Compaction Impacts to Maximize Infiltration

4 Low Impact Development Reduce impervious surfaces Retain runoff on-site Promoting infiltration and evapotranspiration Soils were recognized by the Founding Fathers

5 Early on LID First Step How to Lay Out your site? Where to location your practices? Is ideally based on

7 e.g., Cuyahoga County Soils & LID Loamy Sand & Sand (5.8%) Infiltration, if well drained Wet or dry BMP depending on drainage class Well Drained Soils (12.6%) Dry BMPs Moderately Well Drained (11.2%) ft. November to May most years Shallower Wet Deeper Dry with Liner Somewhat Very Poorly Drained (76.2%) ft. November to June most years Wet BMPS Slippage Prone (5.8%) Stay Away Urban Complexes (49.9%) Highly Variable KSU Courtesy of Todd Houser, Cuyahoga S&W 4(/ 22

8 Goals of Low Impact Development Reduce impervious surfaces Retain runoff on-site Promoting infiltration and evapotranspiration Replicating pre-development hydrologic conditions as closely as possible Amounts of Each Depending upon Underlying Soil - Davis, 2005

9 Primary Goal of LID Design each development site to protect, or restore, the natural hydrology of the site so that the overall integrity of the watershed is protected. This is done by creating a hydrologically functional landscape.

10 What is the Target Condition? In North Carolina, Coweeta Coweeta is a US Forest Service Research Station

11 Establishing Target Condition Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory Forested Mountain Watersheds Longest Term Hydrologic Record (Runoff, Infiltration, and ET) in the World for a forest site Records used for this study were 37 and 50 years old Rain Shed Mountain Region Annual Precipitation in excess of 1500 mm (60 inches) Drawback: Coweeta Wetter than any major city in NC Data From Swift, LW, G.B. Cunningham, J.E. Douglass Climatology and Hydrology. Forest Hydrology and Ecology at Coweeta. Eds: W.T. Swank and D.A. Crossley. Springer Verlag. New York, NY, pp

12 Establishing Target Condition Annual Hydrologic Fate Average Amount Percent of Total Precipitation Precipitation 1770 mm (70 in) 100% Runoff 80 mm (3 in) 5% Evapotranspiration 890 mm (35 in) 50% Infiltration 800 mm (31 in) 45% Shallow Interflow 770 mm (30 in) 44% Deep Seepage 30 mm (1 in) 2% All values rounded to the nearest 10 mm or 1 in. Infiltration is the sum of Shallow Interflow and Deep Seepage

13 Santee Experimental Forest (Coastal Plain South Carolina) Experimental Data (Amatya et al., 2006) Evapotranspiration Infiltration + Runoff 77% 23% Coastal plain region, undisturbed woods, sandy soils 30+ years of experimental data

14 Why the Difference? Sandier Soil Systems + flatter landscapes + higher water table systems = MORE ET Underlying SOILS! Soils impact what your HYDROLOGIC TARGET CONDITION is

15 Outflow Volume (m^3) Example of Target Condition Variation Landscape Outflow Comparison Detention: to Curve Number NC North Carolina Grassed Cell NC Grassed Cell Pavement Woods B (CN 55) Woods C (CN 70) Regression (CN 79) Rainfall (cm)

16 So, how well do SCMs Convert Runoff to Infiltration?

17 Answer: It depends (in part) on Underlying Soil

18 Improving Infiltration

19 Water Balance Brown & Hunt, JEE 2011

20 Reduced Performance in Clayey insitu Soils Rocky Mount (sand): Upper Coastal Plain Greensboro (clay): Piedmont Graham: (N) loamy-clay & (S) sandy-loam Site We Bring Engineering to Life # Events Monitored # Events w/ Outflow Media Depth (m) IWS Depth (m) RM Grass RM Mulched Greensboro Greensboro No IWS Graham (N) Graham (S)

21 Ritter Field Stormwater Wetland (River Bend, NC)

22 Outflow (m3) Runoff Reduction by Storm Line if Outflow Volume= Inflow Volume Inflow (m3) Lenhart and Hunt. JEE. 2011

23 Wetlands are not supposed to reduce runoff volumes this much! Why is this wetland so good at infiltrating? Design Element Value Watershed Size 115 ac Wetland Size 0.34 ac Watershed Curve Number 55 Underlying Soil at Wetland Appling Fine Sand

24 er Field Stormwater Wetland: y is it so (relatively) small? Design Element Value Watershed Size 115 ac Wetland Size 0.34 ac Watershed Curve Number 55 Underlying Soil at Wetland Appling Fine Sand

25 Determining Volume: Using NRCS Methods NRCS Curve Number Method SA = Volume (V) Ponding Depth Depth (D) V = Runoff Depth (Q*) Watershed Area (A) Q = (P 0.2 S) 2 (P +0.8 S) P= Precipitation Depth; S = Initial Abstraction S = 1000/CN - 10 CN = Curve Number

26 Key Mid-term Take Home Points Underlying Soils impact performance of a Stormwater Control Measure E.g., SCMs over sandy soil will infiltrate (sometimes much) more than those over clays Underlying Soils have major factor in size of practice (& therefore cost) Sandy Watersheds can have much smaller SCMs than Clayey Watersheds

27 Watershed Soils & SCM effectiveness

28 Bacteria Pollution Stormwater is a transport mechanism for bacterial pollution Urbanization can lead to increased pathogen loads to surface waters Pet waste, sewer overflow, sewer leakage Leads to 50,000 acres of Shellfish closures in NC each year.

29 Charlotte Wet Pond Piedmont Clays Watershed = 48.6 ha CN = 75

31 Charlotte (Clay) Wet Pond E.Coli Hathaway and Hunt. JIDE. 2012

32 Sand Underlying Soil Pond E.Coli Hathaway and Hunt. JIDE. 2012

33 Why? Pathogen Indicator Species travel (in part) on sediment Coarser sediment = better trapping efficiency for TSS And therefore for E.Coli Hathaway and Hunt. JIDE. 2012

34 Fill Soils/ Media & SCM Effectiveness

39 Results of Early Research Relationship between P-Index (Soil Test P) and TP outflow load. Greensboro Chapel Hill TP +240% - 65% P-Index P-Index : High P-Index 0-25: Low (Hunt 2003) Hunt et al. JIDE. 2006

40 Blame it on the Media Phosphorus Index (P- Index) is a measure of how much phosphorus is already in the soil media. Low P-Index: Can capture more phosphorus High P-Index: Soil is saturated with phosphorus Very High: > 100 High: Medium Low: 0-25

41 Enter the NC Standard Fill Media 85% Sand 10% Fines (Silt + Clay) 5% Organic Matter + Low P-Index 10 to 30 Time to test it

45 Take Home Message Your composition of Fill Soil / Media Matters Be careful of what you add or incorporate

46 Sometimes the Question isn t What type?, it s How much?

47 Depth of Fill Soil/ Media Matters!

58 Take Home Points: Fill Soils Fill Soils/ Media Selection and Depth is hugely important in TP and TN performance Fill Soils/ Media PRESENCE is equally important to tame temperatures

59 Improving Infiltration Capacity of Soils LID really is predicated on getting some runoff (at least temporarily) into the ground We want to encourage this.

60 Wilmington, NC (Anne McCrary) Permeable Concrete Study Loamy Sand Soil Coastal NC Undisturbed K ~ 1-2 in/h Water table > 1 m from surface Day Use Recreation (40 ADT)

61 Runoff (in) Permeable Concrete Wilmington NC Pavement Storage Infiltration Rate LESS THAN 0.1 in/hr INFILTRATION We Bring Engineering to < 12 hour Rainfall (in) Life Runoff from an Impermeable Lot Runoff from Permeable Concrete Lot

62 In Situ Soil Compaction Associated with Initial In Situ Soil Infiltration is INVARIABLY reduced when permeable pavements (& other practices) are installed. Lot Construction

67 Same is True with Bioretention Construction impact on bottom layer

68 How are BRC s constructed? Bioretention Backhoe w/ arm Scoop out soil & replace w/ sandy media

69 Construction Impacts Bioretention Bucket contact with bottom layer Compaction & Smearing using conventional scoop technique decreased infiltration rates

70 Innovative Construction Technique Less intensive bucket contact when excavating final 1 ft of subsoil Rake method Scarify surface with teeth on bucket

71 Tested Excavation Technique Scoop vs. Rake For final 9-12 of excavation, depth most affected by compaction

72 Clay vs. Sand 2 Sites Varying Soil Type 1)Piedmont (clay): Raleigh 2)Coastal Plain (sand): Nashville

73 And Antecedent Moisture Condition Dry vs. Wet Effects of excavating right after a large rain or if it rains before cell is filled

74 Compaction Scout SC-900 soil cone penetrometer < 1 minute per test

75 Nashville (Sand) Wet Cell

76 Infiltration Double Ring Infiltrometer Prevents divergent flow in middle ring record rate of infiltration from inner ring ~ 90 minutes per test

77 Average Infiltration

78 Sat. Hydraulic Conductivity Collect soil cores and run constant head saturated conductivity test

79 Nashville Results Average change in performance using rake vs. scoop method Site Type K Sat Infiltration "Dry" / (Loamy-Sand) "Wet" / (sand) Performance Increase Rake Performance Increase Rake Bulk Density 84% 123% -2.4% 172% 42% -3.8% Notes: n = 6 n = 3 n = 6

80 Take Home Point How you Treat your soil during construction makes a big difference in how well your SCM / LID Site is going to Perform Be nice to your soils!!!

81 Summary Soils are an Integral Component of Low Impact Development Establishing the Reference Hydrologic Condition Set the Infiltration Capacity of SCMs Influence the Pollutant Removal Ability Fill Soils/ Media Selection is critical for the capture of several pollutants We can do a lot to make soils work for us. And to overcome negative impacts of construction
