I submitted a revised seepage pit diagram so that our pits are shown to be less than 28ft in total depth because our exploratory boring was only 38ft deep and Ventura County has a 10 ft setback in case there is any groundwater....but our well is at 235ft... I do love working with geniuses makes me feel really smart too. That extra "update" on the report only cost $547.50...It's the "pits".
In the mean time I have been busy with equipment maintenance, new tires for the backhoe, oil change etc. I also need to add water to the soil I am placing by the containers so that it compacts better and lets me breath a little easier (very dusty). I will be using the 4" trash pump to get the water there and to plug it to my fire hose I needed to make one of these:
It's a camlock fitting adapter, 4" plug welded to a 1.5" female fitting. I TIG welded it using an Argon/Helium mix shielding gas and a 1/8" 4043 aluminum welding rod at 140 HZ and 70% balance square wave 220A EN and 110A EP.
I am running 4" rubber water lines on the edges of the construction area, this fitting allows me to plug in at many locations with the 1.5" fire hose. If I need more water I will use the fire truck....
