Absorption area is figured as trench bottom area in
absorption trenches and bottom area in seepage beds.
2.
Seepage beds require 1½ times the seepage field absorption
area specified.
3.
Over 360 is unsuitable for subsurface seepage systems.
4.
Under 18 is unsuitable for subsurface seepage systems.

Divide the required total gallons per day by this number
to get the number of square feet required
