    The document provides instructions for constructing an evaporation pan platform out of 2x4 or heavier lumber. It should be at least the recommended dimensions and support an anemometer. The ground around the platform should be filled and leveled to keep the pan above surface water, and earth should be packed firmly between the platform boards and anchored in place, leaving space at the top for inspection of the pan.

    255-250 Evaporation Pan Platform

    The support should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. Recommended dimensions are shown above. The 2 x 6
    shown in the platform design will permit complete support of the anemometer pintle. Rot resistant lumber or lumber
    treated with an effective wood preservative should be used.

    The ground should be filled sufficiently to level the support and keep the bottom of the pan above the level of surface
    water in rainy weather. Earth fill should be used around the support to anchor it. It should be tamped firmly between
    the top members to within 1/2 inch of the top of the support, leaving an air space to facilitate inspection of the pan for
    leaks while it is in use.
