G. Downslope Berm Width 1. If the landslope is 1% or more, subtract the rock layer width from the absorption width to obtain minimum downslope berm toe: 27- 10 = 17 feet minimum downslope. 2. Calculate the minimum mound size: a. Determine the depth of clean fill at the upslope edge of the rock layer: (required seperation)3' - 1.93' = 1.07 feet b. Add the depth of clean sand for 2a, the depth of the rock layer, and 1' for the topsoil cover needed to deternune the mound height at the upslope edge of the rock layer; 1 + 1 +1.07= 3.07' c. Select the table multiplier for the upslope berm based on land slope against 4:1 berm slope. 3.33 d. Multiply the berm multiplier by the upslope mound height to determine the upslope width; 3.33 x 3.07= 10 feet e. Multiply the rock layer width by the landslope to determine the elevation drop; (lOxS)/ 100 =.Sfeet f. Add the depth 2e to 2b to determine the mound height at the downslope edge of the rock layer; .5 + 3.07 =3.57Feet g. Select the table multiplier for the do�i�slope berm based on the land slope against 4:1 berm slope. 5.0 h. Multiply the berm multiplier for the downslope mound height to determine the downslope width; � Downslope Upstope 3.57 x 5.0 = 18 feet slope berm multipliers berm multipliers i. Compare the values in G.1 �% for given ratios for given ratios (17 feet) and step G.2h(20 feet).
