| Question: | "To what depth should sand be installed in a bunker? Is there a way to determine an appropriate depth?" |

| Source of Question: | West Virginia |

| Answer/Response: | "Laboratory testing can eliminate much of the guesswork. An accredited lab can determine the level of moisture retention by examining particle size distribution and saturated hydraulic conductivity. The degree to which moisture will be retained can affect the firmness of the bunker sand and whether or not drainage-related problems will occur. If the depth of the sand is too shallow, anaerobic conditions could develop. The laboratory can help determine to what depth sand should be installed." |
