    This document summarizes the results of two permeability tests - a constant head test and a falling head test - conducted on a soil sample. The constant head test yielded a permeability (k) value of 0.03509951 cm/s. The falling head test used a sample with a diameter of 1.422 cm, over a length of 7.62 cm, and yielded a permeability value of 0.00736506 cm/s.
