35 Virginia Street Storm Water Quality Improvements Observations & Lessons Learned Conduct infiltration testing during the design phase not during construction Ensure standard septic system percolation testing methods are applied Retrofit projects may need to obtain soil infiltration data from soil borings
36 Virginia Street Storm Water Quality Improvements Observations & Lessons Learned Underdrain system with additional cleanout and 2 pipe sizes added to project costs Simplify underdrain system design for future projects Consider development of an approved engineered soil mixture Consider pre-manufactured systems
