5.0.1 ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION:
Elevated Sand Mounds require pressure distribution.

All elevated sand mound systems are required to have a minimum of:
12 inches of Specified Sand at the edges of the GSF module.
12 inches of Specified Sand at the beginning and end of each GSF Row.
12 inches of Specified Sand directly below the GSF module.
Minimum 12 inches of cover soil material above the 4-inch distribution pipe
5.0.3 VERTICAL SEPARATION TO SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE OR LIMITING LAYER:
Refer to section
Rule 410 IAC 6-8.3 72.b.4 for elevated systems or ISDH Rule 410 6-10.1 (61).

5.0.4 ELEVATED SAND MOUND SYSTEM:
Follow the requirements in 410 IAC 6-8.3 (79) to complete the mound.
When placing the Eljen application area on the basal area, there must be 12 inches of INDOT SPEC 23 Sand under
the A42 or B43 Modules.
5.0.5 APPLICATION AREA REQUIREMENTS:
The application area is the GSF Module and the upslope and
downslope sand from the module. Modules may not have more than one foot of sand up or downslope of any
module. The maximum distance of the distribution cell edge measured to the module is one foot, and the minimum
distance to the distribution cell edge is six inches.
5.0.6 PLACEMENT OF THE ELJEN APPLICATION AREA:
Place the Eljen application area in the middle of the
basal area for sites with slopes less than 0.5%. For sites with greater than 0.5% slope, place the Eljen application
area along the upper edge of the basal area.
5.0.7 DISPERSAL AREA:
Dispersal area requirements are located in
IAC 6-8.3 (58) or ISDH Rule 410 6-10.1 (62).
