APPENDIX A - INFILTRATION TESTING . INFILTRATION BMPs use the interaction of chemical, physical, and biological processes between soil and water to filter out sediments and constituents from stormwater. INFILTRATION BMPs require a maximum drawdown time to avoid nuisance issues. Since drawdown time is contingent on the INFILTRATION rate of the underlying soil, tests are used to help establish the vertical INFILTRATION rate of the soil below a proposed INFILTRATION facility. The tests attempt to simulate the physical process that will occur when the facility is in operation. Section 1 - General Requirements - Summary of Requirements The following is a brief summary of the requirements for all INFILTRATION test reports submitted to the Engineering Authority (EA)1 for the purpose of water quality BMP design .
