<br />18 <br /> <br />certerra.com 4660 Main Street, Suite 100, Springfield, Oregon 97478 T: 541.393.6340 <br />Our infiltration testing was conducted on March 20, 2026, March 24, 2026 and March 26, 2026. In both infiltration <br />test locations, IT-1 and IT-2, we encountered topsoil, overlying stiff native Fat Clay (CH), overlying hard Eugene <br />Formation Siltstone. No groundwater was observed in either IT-1 or IT-2 during installation of the standpipes. <br /> <br />The infiltration tests were conducted in accordance with the current City of Eugene Stormwater Management Manual <br />- Encased Falling Head Test, available at https://www.eugene-or.gov/477/Stormwater-Management-Manual. A six- <br />inch diameter casing (stand pipe) was embedded into the soil at the bottom of the holes. We placed <br />approximately 3 inches of clean gravel in the bottom of each stand pipe to protect the soil at the bottom from <br />scouring. We then filled the stand pipes with a 12-inch head of water for the initial pre-soaking trial. The 12-inch <br />head of water did not completely infiltrate in 10 minutes (pre -soak trial was performed twice), therefore we <br />performed our first trials upon completion of the required 4-hour pre-soak. According to the procedure, trials are <br />to be conducted for at least 1 hour, until the m easured infiltration rate between two successive trials does not <br />increase, and the percent change is minimal. The standpipes will be retrieved and the infiltration test locations <br />loosely backfilled with the excavated soil, upon completion. Note that the average infiltration rates presented in <br />Table 2 below are the unfactored infiltration rates (i.e. no Factor of Safety applied). <br /> <br />Table 2: Infiltration Test Results. <br />Infiltration <br />test <br />Trial Depth <br />(inches) <br />Infiltration Rate <br />(inches per hour) <br />Washed Gradation <br />(% passing #200 sieve) <br />Soil Stratum <br />Tested <br />IT-1 16 Less than 1/8 72 <br />Hard Eugene <br />Formation <br />Siltstone <br />IT-2 16 1-1/2 50 <br />Hard Eugene <br />Formation <br />Siltstone <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
