How to fill out the Hawaii State Doh Percolation Test Form online

Filling out the Hawaii State Doh Percolation Test Form online is a straightforward process that ensures accurate site evaluations for wastewater systems. This guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions to complete the form effectively.

Follow the steps to successfully fill out the form.

  1. Click 'Get Form' button to access the percolation test form and open it in your preferred online editor.
  2. Fill in the date and time of the test at the top of the form. Ensure that this information is accurate to maintain proper records.
  3. Enter the name of the person or organization performing the test in the designated field. This should be the individual responsible for supervising the percolation test.
  4. Provide the owner's name and the Tax Map Key (TMK) in the respective fields. The TMK helps locate the property on official records.
  5. Record the elevation of the site in feet, as this information is critical for understanding drainage and absorption capacity.
  6. Input the depth to the groundwater table below grade and the depth to bedrock if observed. This data directly affects wastewater management design.
  7. Specify the diameter of the hole and the depth to the bottom of the hole. Accurate measurements are essential for effective percolation testing.
  8. Document the soil profile, including color and texture, in the provided space. This qualitative information aids in understanding soil behavior.
  9. Fill in the percolation readings. Record the time taken for twelve inches of water to seep away. You will need to perform this measurement twice.
  10. Indicate whether the test was conducted in sandy soils or non-sandy soils by checking the appropriate box. Follow the detailed steps as required by the type of soil.
  11. Complete the percolation rate calculation by recording the time versus final water level drop. This is important for determining the suitability of the site.
  12. As the engineer, provide your signature and stamp in the designated area to certify that the information provided is accurate and that testing was conducted per guidelines.
  13. Finally, save your changes, and you can choose to download, print, or share the completed form as needed.

Make sure to complete your forms online for a streamlined and efficient process.

The result of your percolation test determines how large your soakaway should be. The better the results, the smaller the soakaway. A good range is between 15 and 100. However, the closer you are to 100, the bigger the soakaway you'll need because drainage is happening slower.

In Hawaii, homeowners must use licensed professionals for the design and installation of their septic system to insure safe and effective treatment of wastewater.

A typical perc test consists of three or more holes dug about 30 to 40 feet apart in the proposed drain field area (see illustration). The holes are typically 6 to 12 inches in diameter and two feet deep, the typical depth of the trenches in a leach field.

Soils with a percolation rate faster than five minutes per inch are acceptable if a 12-inch-thick loamy sand soil liner with a percolation rate of 15 to 20 minutes per inch is installed in the trench or bed. The trench or bed is then sized based on this soil liner percolation rate.

For septic tank systems and wells, the minimum requirement varies from 15-60m depending on whether the well is up, across or downgradient, the percolation value, soil type and depth.

The test itself is fairly simple; dig a hole of a certain size where you're drainage field is going to be, fill it with water, and see how long it takes for the water to disappear.

The percolation rate is calculated for each test hole by dividing the time interval used between measurements by the magnitude of the last water level drop. This calculation results in a percolation rate in terms of minutes per inch.

After placing the sand or fine gravel in the percolation test hole, the hole must be slowly filled with clear water to a minimum depth of 12 inches over the sand or gravel. This water level should be maintained for at least two hours.
