EPIC System Technology Total Water Management “Because water is too precious to waste”

Environmental Passive Integrated Chamber System EPIC™ CELL PAN CHAMBER EPIC™ Pans & Chambers

USDA Texture Triangle – 12 Textural Classes Besides a variable organic content… All soils are a proportionate ratio of clay, silt, and sand particles. EPIC’S EXCLUSIVE CHOICE

The Properties of Sand & Clay • • Crushed Rock 0. 05 -2. 00 mm – 0. 05 -0. 10=Very Fine – 0. 10 -0. 25=Fine – 0. 25 -0. 50=Medium – 0. 50 -1. 00=Course – 1. 0 -2. 0=Very Course Silicon Dioxide Very intrusive Clay particles are very small, mostly plat -shaped, crystal structures.

Gravel Bridging Principle The average diameter of the larger aggregate has to be less than 8 X the diameter of the smaller aggregate. 1. 5 x 8 x 1 X
