Document Description
A part of this project consists of percolation and mantle testing at several sites. Aging infrastructure and increased visitor use are taking their toll on the existing facilities. The percolation test holes will be outside the drip zone of all established trees and will not impact any vegetation. Installation of a 100,000 gallon storage tank will also be a part of this project. The tank will be 36' diameter and 16' high and will involve a concrete foundation. Additional water storage is needed as current dust abatement measures tend to leave park residences without water. The other main component of this project involves geotechnical boring to determine soil stability for potential infrastructure foundations. These holes will also be out of the drip zone of established trees and be backfilled when testing is completed. A new portable water well will be installed to serve the increasing needs of water at the park. The well will be ~400' deep and have greater yields which will add to the existing wells in the park.
