. 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.B)=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 - 1.3 ft = 1.7 ft Design Sand Lift(optional): 1.7 <br /> B. Calculate Upslope Height:Clean Sand Lift (4.A)+media depth +cover (1 ft.)=Upslope Height <br /> 1.7 ft + 1.0 ft + 1.0 ft= 3.7 ft <br /> 0.34:Slope Multiplier Table <br /> Land Slope% 0 I 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 11 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 10 21 22 23 24 25 <br /> Upslope 3:1 3.00 2.91 2.83 2.75 2.68 2.61 2.54 2.48 2.42 1.36 2,31 2.26 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 /> Bern)Ratio 4:1 4.00 3.85 3.70 3.57 3.45 3.33 3.23 3.12 3.03 2.94 2.86 2.78 2.70 2.62 2.55 2.48 2.41 2.35 2.29 2.23 2.18 2.13 2.08 2.03 1.98 1.93 <br /> Land Slope% 0 I 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 i 21 22 23 24 25 <br /> Downslope 3:8 3.00 3.09 3.19 3.30 3.41 3.53 3.66 3.81 3.95 4.11 4.29 4.48 4.69 4.95 5.24 5.55 5.89 6.24 6.63 7.04 7.47 7.93 8.42 8.93 9.46 10.02 <br /> Berm Ratio 4:1 4.00 4,17 4.35 4.54 4.76 5.00 5.26 5.56 5.88 6.25 6.67 7.14 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 Upslope Berm Multiplier <br /> (based on land slope): 3.23 (figure D-34) <br /> D. Calculate Upslope Berm Width:Multiplier (4.C)X Upslope Mound Height (4.6)=Upslope Berm Width <br /> 3.23 ft X 3.7 ft = 11.8 ft <br /> E. Calculate Drop in Elevation Under Bed:Bed Width (2.B) X Land Slope (1.D)=100=Drop (ft) <br /> 10.0 ft X 7.0 % = 100= 0.70 ft <br /> F. Calculate Downslope Mound Height:Upslope Height (4.B)+Drop in Elevation (4.E)=Downslope Height <br /> 3.7 ft + 0.70 ft = 4.4 ft <br /> Select Downslope Berm Multiplier <br /> G.
