Fall Test Results

To better understand the needs of the site location and how the groundwater would behave, an understanding of the ground was required. The soil in our site has been tested from two sample locations with varying saturation, and at four increasing depths for each location up until we hit bedrock at roughly 58" deep. The following results were obtained for eight different soil samples:

  • Phosphorous Content
  • Potassium Content
  • PH
  • Buffer PH
  • Calcium content
  • Mehlich III
  • Zinc Content
  • Organic Matter
  • Total Nitrogen
  • Soluble Salts
  • Soil Texture
  • Soil Composition (Sand, Silt, Clay)

Soil results from UK's Regulatory Services

By the end of December, our team gathered the following results:

  • Detailed hydrologic evaluation of the site and the surrounding watersheds.
  • Estimated flow data from design storm analysis.
  • A topographic map generated from survey data and LiDAR data.
  • Analysis of potential plants for rain garden.
  • Detailed soil profile.
  • Generic drawings of rain garden using AutoCAD.
  • Biological additions to the soil based on soil sample results.
