1504.2 Required Area of Subsurface Irrigation

Fields, Subsoil Irrigation Fields, and Mulch Basins. The minimum effective irrigation area of subsurface irrigation fields, subsoil irrigation fields, and mulch basins shall be determined by Table 1504.2 for the type of soil found in the excavation, based upon a calculation of estimated gray water discharge under Section 1503.8. For a subsoil irrigation field, the area shall be equal to the aggregate length of the perforated pipe sections within the valved zone multiplied by the width of the proposed subsoil irrigation field.
