3. ABSORPTION AREA SIZING Note:Mound setbacks are measured from the Absorption Area. A. Calculate Absorption Width:Bed Width (2.B)X Mound Absorption Ratio (1.F)=Absorption Width 10.0 ft x 2.0 = 20.0 ft B. For slopes>1%,the Absorption Width is measured downhill from the upslope edge of the Bed. Calculate Downslope Absorption Width:Absorption Width (3.A)-Bed Width (2.B)=ft 20.0 ft - 10.0 ft = 10.0 ft 4. MOUND SIZING A. Calculate Clean Sand Lift: 3 feet minus Depth to Limiting Condition (1.C)=Clean Sand Lift (1 ft minimum) 3.0 ft - 1.5 ft = 1.5 ft Design Sand Lift(optional): 1,5 B. Calculate Upslope Height:Clean Sand Lift (4.A)+media depth (1 ft.)+cover (1 ft.)=Upslope Height 1.5 ft + 1.0 ft + 1.0 ft= 3.5 ft D-34:Slope Multiplier Table find Slope% 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30.

Select Upslope Berm Multiplier (based on land slope): 3.70 (figure D-34) D. Calculate Upslope Berm Width:Multiplier (4.C)X Upslope Mound Height (4.B)=Upslope Berm Width 3.70 ft x 3.5 ft = 13.0 ft E. Calculate Drop in Elevation Under Bed:Bed Width (2.B) X Land Slope (1.D):100=Drop (ft) 10.0 ft X 5.0 % 100= 0.50 ft F. Calculate Downslope Mound Height:Upslope Height (4.B)+Drop in Elevation (4.E)=Downslope Height 3.5 ft + 0.50 ft = 4.0 ft G.Select Downslope Berm Multiplier (based on land slope): 5.00 (figure D-34) H.Calculate Downslope Berm Width:Multiplier (4.G)X Downslope Height (4.F)=Downslope Berm Width 5.00 x 4.0 ft = 20.0 ft I. Calculate Minimum Berm to Cover Absorption Area:Downslope Absorption Width (3.B or 3.C)+4 ft.=ft 10.0 ft + 4 ft = 14.0 ft .3. Design Downslope Berm =greater of 4H and 41: 20.0 ft K. Select Endslope Berm Multiplier: 3.00 (usually 3.0 or 4.0) L. Calculate Endslope Berm (4.K)X Downslope Mound Height (4.F)=Endslope Berm Width 3.00 ft x 4.0 ft = 12.0 ft M.Calculate Mound Width:Upslope Berm Width(4.D)+Bed Width (2.B)+Downslope Berm Width (4.J)=ft 13.0 ft + 10.0 ft + 20.0 ft = 43.0 ft N.Calculate Mound Length:Endslope Berm Width (4.L)+Bed Length (2.C)+Endslope Berm Width (4.L)=ft 12.0 ft + 63.0 ft + 12.0 ft = 87.0 ft Comments:
