3. ABSORPTION AREA SIZING <br /> Note:Mound setbacks are measured from the Absorption Area. <br /> A. Calculate Absorption Width:Bed Width (2.B)X Mound Absorption Ratio (1.F)=Absorption Width <br /> 10.0 ft x 2.0 = 20.0 ft <br /> B. For slopes>1%,the Absorption Width is measured downhill from the upslope edge of the Bed. <br /> Calculate Downslope Absorption Width:Absorption Width (3.A)-Bed Width (2.6)=ft <br /> 20.0 ft - 10.0 ft = 10.0 ft <br /> 4. MOUND SIZING <br /> A. Calculate Clean Sand Lift: 3 feet minus Depth to Limiting Condition (1.C)=Clean Sand Lift (1 ft minimum) <br /> 3.0 ft - 1.8 ft = 1.2 ft Design Sand Lift(optional): 1.2 <br /> B. Calculate Upslope Height:Clean Sand Lift (4.A)+media depth (1 ft.)+cover (1 ft.)=Upsiope Height <br /> 1.2 ft + 1.0 ft + 1.0 ft= 3.2 ft <br /> 0-34:Slope Multiplier Table <br /> Land Slope a 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ¶7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 <br /> Up61ope 13:1 3.00 2.91 2.83 2.75 2.68 2.61 2.54 2.48 2.42 2.36 2.31 2.24 2.21 2.17 2.13 2.09 2.06 2.03 2.00 1.97 1.95 1.93 1.91 1.89 1.87 1.85 <br /> ( Barn Ratio 14:1 4.00 3.85 3.70 3.57 3.45 3.3313.23 3.12 3.03 2.94 2.86 2.78 2.70 2.62 2.55 2.48 2.41 2.35 2.29 2,13 2.18 2.13 2.08 2.03 1.98 1.93 <br /> Land Slope`b 0 1 2 3 4 5 1 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 12 1 23 24 25 <br /> Downslope '3:1 3.00 3.09 33.19 3.30 3.41 3.53 3.66 3.80 3.95 4.11 4.29 4.48 4,69 4.95 5.24 5.55 5.88 6.24 6.63 7.04 7.47 7.93 8.42 8.93 9.46 10.02 <br /> BonroRatio ,4:1 4.00 4.17 4.35 4.54 4.76 5.00 5.26 5.56 5.88 6.25 6,6717. 14 7.69 8.29 8.92 9.57 10.24 10.94 11.67 12.42 13.19 13.99 14.82 15.67 16.54 17.44 <br /> C Select Upsiope Berm Multiplier <br /> (based on land slope): 3.12 (figure D-34) <br /> D.
