Situation: Functional profile quickly reaches saturation and begins to puddle after <.25" of rain. Profile remains at near saturation for >12 hours after initial rain event (EC >50%).
Situation: Due to reduced infiltration rates, profile is not capable of properly flushing and results in the accumulation of excess sodium (EC >.75) in top 2" of profile.
Situation: Anaerobic black layer at 5" depth in profile:
above BL - high lignocellulose biomass
below BL - clean sand (parent material)
Analytics: Establish baseline infiltration rates at varying depths throughout the soil profile prior to initiation of remediation protocol - Turf & Soil Diagnostics, NY
Analytics: Results of baseline infiltration rate analysis. Extremely restrictive water and air movement above the black layer (5" depth). Note that USGA recommendation is >6" (15 cm) / hr.
Application Protocol and Results: Field trial is currently underway. Application details, observations and results will follow in October 2015.
