The jar test can be used as a method for testing clean sand. See Appendix A Procedures for <br />Soil Determination Material Acceptability. <br /> <br />"Distribution Pipes" are perforated pipes that distribute sewage effluent within a medium <br />including drain field rock, chambers, and gravelless pipe.
