<strong>Site</strong> criteria for mound systems are summarized in Table 7-7. These<br />

criteria reflect current practice. Slope limitations for mounds are<br />

more restrictive than for conventional systems, particularly for mounds<br />

used on sites with slowly permeable soils. The fill material <strong>and</strong> na-<br />

tural soil interface can represent an abrupt textural change that re-<br />

stricts downward percolation, increasing the chance for surface seepage<br />

from the base of the mound.<br />
