Soil remediation was performed at three sites in an urban area metropolitan area. Each site was
divided into three plots: tilled, tilled with compost addition, and a control plot with no treatment. The
infiltration effectiveness within each plot was assessed by measuring saturated hydraulic conductivity
(Ksat) using the modified Philip Dunne (MPD) infiltrometer during pre- and post-treatment. In addition,
the use of soil bulk density and soil strength as surrogate parameters for Ksat was investigated
