    Permeability Test Method? - Old Gravel Pit

    Hmmm... My wording was poor. I'd like to determine the permeability of the surface crust, to support a determination of a relatively high curve number. Typically a gravel material would have a fairly low curve number and little runoff. My site has considerable runoff, implying a high curve...

    Permeability Test Method? - Old Gravel Pit

    I'd like to determine the permeability, and eventually a curve number for the surface of an abandoned gravel pit. As is typical of such pits, the surface has a tight, dense crust, where fines have been deposited into the coarser gravel base material. This crust is only a few inches thick, with...
