High groundwater means zones of soil saturation which include perched water tables, shallow regional groundwa- ter tables or aquifers, or zones that are seasonally, periodically or permanently saturated.
High groundwater means seasonally or periodically elevated levels of groundwater.

More Definitions of High groundwater

High groundwater means seasonally or periodically elevated levels of groundwater, particularly when such groundwater may significantly interfere with the effective treatment or operation of a soil adsorption system.
High groundwater means the elevation that water is found at or where there is evidence of long-term saturation in the soil material when performing a site evaluation. High groundwater may be determined by the presence of redoximorphic features, otherwise known as mottling.
High groundwater means zones of soil saturation which include: Perched water tables, shallow regional groundwater tables or aquifers, or zones that are seasonally, periodically or permanently saturated. Unless otherwise proven, the presence of soil mottles indicates the level of seasonal saturation.
High groundwater means zones of soil saturation which include: perched water tables, shallow regional groundwater tables or aquifers, or zones that are seasonally, periodically or per- manently saturated.
