from a Watershed Perspective

Please! Keep your
runoff volume to
yourself!

• Additional volumes
result in exceeding predeveloped rates that
scour stream banks.
• Additional durations of
flow impact habitat
further.

Olympia Soil Recipe

4 cubic yards Crushed Rock ¾”-1¼”
+ 1 cubic yard Loam/organic topsoil
+ 1 pound Soil Binder “Stabilizer”
+ 46 gallons water__________
Makes 4.6 cubic yards Structural Soil
Structural Soil Costs - Olympia
“The price to supply, deliver and install the structural soil material per
cubic yard ranged from $19 to $85 with an average bid of $42, the median
price was $39.50.
The city paid $24 per cubic yard for the structural soil material to the low
bidder.
This compare to a price quote we received for the supply of CU structural

soil at $65 per cubic yard plus delivery. The source was over an hour’s drive
away and delivery charges were $85 per hr with a truck and trailer hauling 22
cubic yard. The expected cost delivered was $72 per cubic yard.”

Siting Criteria
• Site is suitable for infiltration
• Non-expansive soils
• Soils should infiltrate at least 0.2 inches/hour*. Clay soils
are OK!

*Based on 2ft of structural soil, 25% void ratio, facility empty in 30 hours to be
ready for the next Type IA storm

Notas do Editor

  1. Silva Cells are an commercially produced support structure made of plastic for under pavement. The matrix is filled with a soil mix appropriate for trees. Silva cells have an advantage over structural soils in that 92% of the volume can be filled with planting medium, compared to something on the order of 22% for structural soils.
