• The aggregate material for the trench should consist <strong>of</strong> a clean aggregate with a maximum<br />
diameter <strong>of</strong> 3 inches and a minimum diameter <strong>of</strong> 1.5 inches.<br />
• The aggregate should be graded such that there will be few aggregates smaller than the<br />
selected size. For design purposes, void space for these aggregates may be assumed to<br />
be 40%.<br />
• A 6-inch layer <strong>of</strong> clean, washed sand is placed on the bottom <strong>of</strong> the trench to encourage<br />
drainage and prevent compaction <strong>of</strong> the native soil, while the stone aggregate is added.<br />
• The aggregate should be completely surrounded with an engineering filter fabric. If the<br />
trench has an aggregate surface, filter fabric should surround all <strong>of</strong> the aggregate fill<br />
material except for the top 1 foot.<br />
• The observation well should consist <strong>of</strong> perforated PVC pipe, 4 to 6 inches diameter,<br />
located in the center <strong>of</strong> the trench, and be constructed flush with the ground elevation <strong>of</strong><br />
the trench.<br />
• The screw top lid should be cast iron and clearly labelled as an observation well.<br />
