The value for native soil infiltration rate (f') used in the above equations should be the [[design infiltration rate]] that incorporates a safety correction factor based on the ratio of the mean value at the proposed bottom elevation of the practice to the mean value in the least permeable soil horizon within 1.5 metres of the proposed bottom elevation.
