• 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 />
