GENERAL INFORMATION,
PN87437 SOF Headquarters
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, North Carolina
The project is located within the Fort Bragg Army Installation. The site is part of the development of
Patriot Point, and is located within or near multiple projects either developed or to be developed. The site
is currently primarily undeveloped and covered with native vegetation. Limited abandoned access roads,
both dirt and asphalt, are within the site which led to previously removed ammunition supply structures.
The site is bound on the north by Eagle Talon Drive and the PN79443 Human Performance Training
Center project currently under development, and to the south by New Dawn Drive. The eastern boundary
of the site is an existing parking area. The western boundary is 'B' Street. Access to the project site will
be via two entrance drives off of 'B' Street. The project consists of one (1) new one story building totaling
approximately 96,016 SF and associated site work including access drives. Two hundred and ninety
(290) Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) parking spaces will be provided. The total disturbed site area within
the limits of construction is approximately 8.56 acres.
The site prior to construction is undeveloped, consisting of a combination of open area and sparse
vegetation. Vegetation consists primarily of brush, with a limited number of deciduous trees 8 to 12
inches in diameter. Limited asphalt pavement is required to be removed. No existing structures are on -
site. The topography slopes generally towards the southwest, with an elevation range of approximately 6
feet. The soils consists primarily silty sands in the upper 3 to 4 feet with clayey sands and sandy clays
beneath.
The drainage areas for the project are attributed to the watershed of Bones Creek, Stream Index 18-31 -
24-2, Classification C: Aquatic Life, Secondary Recreation, Freshwater, in the Cape Fear River Basin.
METHODOLOGY

All methodology used to determine both peak flow and storm event volumes follows the guidelines set by
the Corp of Engineers Wilmington District and NCDEQ.
As the project is a federal project which exceeds 5,000 square feet of footprint, Section 438 of the Energy
Independence and Security Act or 2007 (EISA 438) mandates the use of site planning, design,
construction, and maintenance strategies for the property to maintain or restore, to the maximum extent
technically feasible, the predevelopment hydrology of the property.

The existing site where the training facility and associated supporting infrastructure is to be constructed is
approximately 11 acres. Total disturbed area and drainage area within the site is approximately 8.56
acres (no offsite drainage). The site, prior to construction, is primarily undeveloped, consisting of a
combination of open area and limited vegetation. Vegetation consists primarily of limited clusters of
deciduous trees 8 to 12 inches in diameter. The topography slopes generally towards the southwest, with
an elevation range of approximately 6 feet. Some additional site drainage sheet flows to the east to an
existing drainage swale. The soils consists primarily silty sands in the upper 3 to 4 feet with clayey sands
and sandy clays beneath. Due to the sandy nature of the existing soils, most first flush drainage
permeates into the ground.
The developed site was taken into consideration during the design of the SOF Infrastructure Project. The
overflow drainage from the developed site was intended to discharge into the storm sewer network
running along New Dawn Drive, with ultimate discharge to a wet pond located east of the intersection of
New Dawn Drive and Ammo Pointe Blvd.
For purposed of drainage calculations, the open site area is considered in fair to good condition.
No existing structures exist on -site. The site was previously part of an ammunition supply point. The
storage buildings have been previously removed. Limited asphalt and dirt paved roads lead to where the
structures used to reside, and will be demolished.
For the purpose of the stormwater calculations, the entire drainage area will be analyzed.
A Subsurface Exploration Report has been performed by Building and Earth, completed January 31,
2019. This report is included in Appendix G.
To calculate storm data, 24hr rainfall data to use for design was provided for by Fort Bragg. The rainfall
data used are given in Table 1. For stormwater design, the 1 Oyr event will be used. For temporary
erosion control measures during construction, the 2yr event will be used.

PROPOSED CONDITIONS
PN87437 SOF Headquarters
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, North Carolina
Existing conditions exist such that all drainage from the site flows towards existing stormwater structures
and bioretention cells which run along the southern portion of the site. To mimic this flow, all stormwater
runoff will be diverted towards a stormwater management area located on the southeastern portion of the
site. Stormwater conveyance structures will direct flow into the stormwater BMP area at three locations.
All conveyance structures are designed in accordance with NCDEQ and UFC 3-201-01 Civil Engineering,
With Change 2, standards.
The bioretention BMP is designed per NCDEQ Minimum Design Criteria as outlined in Part C-2.
Bioretention Cell. In addition, the bioretention cell is designed to meet EISA 438 in that the Peak
Attenuation Volume retained by the cell meets EISA 438 requirements as discussed below.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Based upon the Discrete SCS Curve Number Method (NCDEQ Stormwater BMP Manual 3.3.2) to
determine total volume of storage for the bioretention area, 13,631 cf of storage is required for the 1
storm event as required by NCDEQ. This volume will be stored in the ponding volume of the bioretention
cell, with a maximum ponding depth of 12".
As the project is a Federal facility over 5,000 square feet, the stormwater requirements of EISA Section
438 (Title 42, US Code, Section 17094) must be met. In accordance with the Department of Defense
memo dated January 19, 2010 entitled DoD Implementation of Storm Water Requirements under Section
438 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) the designer of record shall implement the
procedures for complying with EISA 438 as outlined in the EPA Technical Guidance on Implementing the
Stormwater Runoff Requirements for Federal Projects under Section 438 of the Energy Independence
and Security Act.
The EPA Guidance manual prescribes two options to comply with the EISA 438 mandate. Option 1 is to
retain and infiltrate the 95th percentile storm event onsite. Option 2 allows site -specific hydrologic analysis
to determine the types of stormwater practices necessary to preserve predevelopment runoff conditions.
Option 2 is provided for situations where pre -development conditions can be maintained by retaining less
than the 95th percentile storm event, or where site -specific parameters dictate a prescriptive methodology
be used or Option 1 is not protective enough, for example at the headwater of an impaired stream. For
this project, Option 1 was selected.
To be in compliance with EISA 438, based upon Option 1 of the EPA Technical Guidance document, the
total volume of runoff from the 95th percentile storm event must be captured and infiltrated on -site. The
method to determine this volume is based upon guidance from the EPA document.
The 95th percentile storm event for the project area is equivalent to 1.8" of rainfall, as provided by the Fort
Bragg Installation Design Guide. Criteria used for determination of total stormwater runoff to capture and
infiltrate, the following criteria was used: Hydrologic Soil Group B, average Maximum Infiltration Rate of
15 inches per hour or as determined by the percolation testing, Minimum Infiltration Rate of 0.1 inches per
hour, a Decay Factor or 2 per hour and Pervious Depression Storage of 0.2 inches.
To provide for this storage, the infiltration areas have been designed to help infiltrate the runoff closest to
the source or outfall of the project site. The bioretention area consists of a volume of ponding storage, a
section of engineered fill to promote infiltration and sediment removal, and an underdrain system (see
Figure 2). All drainage for the construction portion of the site is routed to the infiltration area. The design
of the bioretention areas is based upon Minimum Design Criteria as set forth by NCDEQ. The bioretention
area is designed to infiltrate the 95th percentile storm event as close as practical to the origin of the
drainage. All drainage enters the bioretention area via surface flow, or via stormwater collection pipes
with the outlet at the top of the pond area, allowing for sediment to be removed via infiltration. Storage
is provided in the above ground ponding (maximum 12" for NCDEQ ponding, and a peak attenuation max

of 24") and the engineered fill media. The bioretention basin design is similar to and meets the Minimum
Design Criteria (MDC) required for NCDEQ C-2 Bioretention Cell, revised January 19, 2018.
To determine the storage volume to meet EISA 438, the Army LID Planning and Cost Tool was compared
against what was calculated via the Direct Determination method. The database determines the volume
required to be stored and infiltrated onside in order to meet EISA 438. The Army LID Planning and Cost
Tool was developed to MILCON standards for projects within the jurisdiction of the Army. As such, the
volumes determined using the Army LID Planning and Cost Tool are used for the design of the
bioretention basin. Although the database was used to determine volume required, it was not used to
design the bioretention area. See below for the design of the bioretention area.
The Army LID Planning and Cost Tool looks as the pre -developed and post -developed areas to calculate
the storage volume requirements.
The pre -developed composite weighted CN and peak flows for the bioretention area can be found in the
appendix. A map of the post development drainage areas can be found in Appendix C.

For all storm events greater than the 95th percentile event, and for other events where the infiltration
areas cannot sufficiently handle the storm event, excess runoff is bypassed directly to the infrastructure
along Eagle Talon. As the soil media fills with water, when the level reaches the top of the upturned
elbow, drainage enters the pipe and is carried to either the next infiltration area, or to the outfall. In
addition, if there is excess ponding due to either the saturation of the engineered fill or a large storm
event, water is collected through the weir in the riser structure. This prevents flooding in areas
surrounding the bioretention basins as the top of the weir is set at an elevation above the 1 00yr flood
event. The top of the riser is also open, with a trash rack. This top elevation is set below the top of the
pond bank to provide a factor of safety for the surrounding area for subsequent storm events.
The Bioretention Cell Supplement form provided by NCDEQ has been completed for the drainage areas
and included in the appendix.

Figure 2 - Bioretention Basin
Seasonal high water table (SHWT) depths was determined in conjunction with the geotechnical report.
SHWT depths were found to be a minimum of 12' below grade.
As the 95th percentile storm event is being captured and infiltrated on -site and all excess storm drainage
is routed to outlet structures with appropriate energy dissipation, this meets LEED 6.1 Stormwater Design
Quantity Control requirements. The existing site has less than 50% impervious surface, and the
bioretention/infiltration of the 95th percentile storm meets the quantity control requirements.
For any underdrains installed within the bioretention area, cleanouts are provided in addition to the riser
pipes to facilitate cleanout. It is the user's desire to utilize sod in lieu of vegetation to facilitate
maintenance reduce the risk of floating debris from entering into and clogging the system.
No water supply wells are within 100' of the project site. No surface waters are within 30' of the project
site. No Class SA waters are within 50' of the project site.
NCDEQ Minimum Design Criteria for Bioretention Cells
The Minimum Design Criteria (MDC) for bioretention cells for NCDEQ is as described below. These
criteria are taken from the NCDEQ Stormwater Design Manual Section C-2. Bioretention Cell
Revised 1-10-2018.
MDC 1: Separation from the SHWT
The lowest point of the bioretention cell is a minimum of 2 feet above the SHWT. Depths to the SHWT
are greater than 96" below the surface.
Altason & Hanger Page 5 of 7

N
MasonJanger
AD,y&Z ... C,.p,,,y
MDC 2: Maximum Ponding Depth for Design Volume
PN87437 SOF Headquarters
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, North Carolina
Maximum ponding depths for the bioretention area is 10" for NCDEQ volumes.
MDC 3: Peak Attenuation Volume
The bioretention area is designed to store the required volume to meet EISA 438, which is greater than
the first flush volume. At volumes above this storm event, primary outlet structure is placed (18 inches
above planting surface). Maximum ponding height is 24".
The emergency spillway is designed for the bioretention basin to handle the entire flow from the 1 00-year
storm event in case of failure of the primary outfall and storage within each basin.
M DC 4: Underdrain
Infiltration testing was done in conjunction with design at the bioretention basin. As the Ksat values
attained are less than 2" per hour, underdrains are installed in the basin. At least one cleanout per 1,000
square feet of pond area is provided (14), with underdrains spaced at no greater than 10'. The
underdrain pipes are sized to handle the infiltration rate of the engineered soil for the times that the
internal water storage zone has reached capacity. All underdrains are 6" diameter.
MDC 5: Media Depth
The bioretention area is a grassed cell as requested by Fort Bragg DPW, without trees and shrubs. The
media depth in the bioretention area is 30" as the cell includes underdrains.
MDC 6: Media Mix
The planting media consists of 85% sands (by volume), 10% fines (by volume) and 5% organics (by
volume).
MDC 7: Media P-Index
The P-1 ndex for the soil media is 10.
MDC 8: No Mechanical Compaction
The soil media will not be mechanically compacted.
MDC 9: Maintenance of Media
An in -lieu of O&M agreement with Fort Bragg DPW has been signed and provided for the bioretention
area.

MasonJanger
AD,y&Z ... C,.p,,,y
MDC 10: Planting Plan
PN87437 SOF Headquarters
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, North Carolina
In accordance with the plans and specifications, the grassed cells shall achieve 100 percent cover during
the 1 year establishment period. Plants chosen for the cells are in accordance with the Fort Bragg
Installation Design Guide.
MDC 11: Mulch
All bioretention areas will be sodded. Hardwood mulch is not desired or allowed by the user due to
maintenance issues. Hardwood mulch tends to float in ponding situations and can clog the overflow
structures.
MDC 12: Clean -Out Pipes
Clean -out pipes are provided in the bioretention area. The cleanouts are PVC pipes with glued clean -out
fittings with screw type caps that extend at least 2 feet above the surface of the bed. No flexible pipe is
allowed. A minimum of one cleanout per 1,000 square feet of area is provide.
OUTLET PROTECTION
All excess stormwater from the infiltration area, as well as outlet structures for stormwater routed around
the project site and will be connected directly to the 24" storm conveyance pipe running along New Dawn
Drive. Outlet protection will be provided in accordance with guidance from Chapter 8.06 Design of Riprap
Outlet Protection of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual for all pipes and headwalls within the project. Calculations for the outlet
protection are shown in the appendix.
WATER QUALITY
To ensure the removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), all runoff is directed to the infiltration areas via
either sheet flow or via storm collection pipes with their outlets at the top of the bioretention basin
(protected with energy dissipaters). This includes runoff from all parking areas and roof drainage
structures. This makes certain that the storm events up to the 95Th percentile event (and first flush for
larger events) will have the runoff filtered through a minimum the vegetative strip and a minimum of 24" of
engineered soil. Additionally, in bioretention areas that do not have landscape rock, an 8" rock filter strip
is included as recommended by NCDEQ for pretreatment at bioretention basins.
In addition, a non -woven geotextile fabric is placed above both the gravel section of the bioretention basin
and the perforated collection pipe to keep sediment and other fines from infiltrating the storage area. It is
generally accepted that bioretention basins of this type will remove between 80-90% of TSS along with
the removal of heavy metals. This design has previously been used on projects at Fort Bragg and has
been approved by NCDEQ for TSS removal requirements. This method will also meet LEED 6.2
Stormwater Quality Control requirements.
EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
Separate erosion and sedimentation control during construction plans have been developed for submittal
to NCDEQ for permit requirements. Calculations used for sizing skimmer sedimentation basins is
included with this report.

M r. Foy:
Building & Earth Sciences, Inc. has completed the authorized subsurface exploration and
geotechnical engineering evaluation for the SOG Group Headquarters located on New Dawn Drive
in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The purpose of this exploration and evaluation was to determine general subsurface conditions
at the site and to address applicable geotechnical aspects of the proposed construction and site
development. The recommendations in this report are based on a physical reconnaissance of the
site and observation and classification of samples obtained from fourteen (14) soil test borings
conducted at the site. Confirmation of the anticipated subsurface conditions during construction
is an essential part of geotechnical services.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide consultation services for the proposed project. If you
have any questions regarding the information in this report or need any additional information,
please call us.

7. If actual loading conditions exceed our anticipated loads, Building & Earth Sciences should
be allowed to review the proposed structural design and its effects on our recommendations
for foundation design.
2. Since information on final grades was not provided, assumptions have been made regarding
grades for the purpose of this report. Therefore, it will be essential for Building & Earth to
review the final grading plan, when it becomes available, and be contracted to provide
supplemental recommendations prior to starting construction.

3. Based on the site layout provided, a retaining wall system will be constructed along the
northern side of the proposed structure. The maximum height of the walls, nor any plans for
the retaining walls, were not available at the time this report was prepared. When plans
become available, Building & Earth should be contracted to review them. Retaining wall
design is beyond the scope of this report. The retaining wall design, performed by others,
should consider a global stability study on the slope being supported by retaining wall, as
part of the retaining wall design. A global stability study was not performed at part Building
& Earth's evaluation of this site.

2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The authorized subsurface exploration was performed on December 5, 2018 in
conformance with our proposal RD20539, dated August 24, 2018. Occasionally some
modification of the scope outlined in our proposal is required to provide for proper
evaluation of the encountered subsurface conditions. Our proposal stated that Seasonal
High Water Table (SHWT) determination and infiltration would be performed as part of
the subsurface exploration. Infiltration testing could not be performed due to presence
of perched groundwater on site above test elevation; SHWT determination was performed
and is included in this report.
The purpose of the geotechnical exploration was to determine general subsurface
conditions at specific boring locations and to gather data on which to base a geotechnical
evaluation with respect to the proposed construction. The subsurface exploration for this
project consisted of fourteen (14) soil test borings. The site was drilled using a CIVIE 55
rig equipped with manual hammer.
The soil boring locations were determined in the field by a representative of our staff by
measuring from existing site features. As such, the boring locations shown on the Boring
Location Plan attached to this report should be considered approximate.

performed are also included in the Appendix.
The information gathered from the exploration was evaluated to determine a suitable
foundation type for the proposed structure. The information was also evaluated to help
determine if any special subgrade preparation procedures will be required during the
earthwork phase of the project.
The results of the work are presented within this report that addresses:
Summary of existing surface conditions.
A description of the subsurface conditions encountered at the exploration
locations.
Site preparation considerations including material types to be expected during
foundation construction and mass grading as well as recommendations regarding

1-0 GEOTECHNICAL SITE CHARACTERIZATION
The following discussion is intended to create a general understanding of the site from a
geotechnical engineering perspective. It is not intended to be a discussion of every
potential geotechnical issue that may arise, nor to provide every possible interpretation
of the conditions identified. The following conditions and subsequent recommendations
are based on the assumption that significant changes in subsurface conditions do not
occur between boreholes. However, anomalous conditions can occur due to variations in
existing fill that may be present at the site, or the geologic conditions at the site, and it
will be necessary to evaluate the assumed conditions during site grading and foundation
installation.
— I UWLUbY
Situated near the western boundary of the North Carolina Coastal Plain physiographic
province, published geologic maps indicate that the subject site is underlain by cretaceous
aged soil deposits associated with the Middendorf and Cape Fear geologic formations.
These formations are generally composed of sandstone and mudstone. The Soil Survey
of Cumberland and Hoke Counties, North Carolina (USDA Soil Conservation Service)
describes the area as characterized by deep sedimentary soils, ranging in depth from
about 200 to about 400 feet in depth.
3.2 ExiSTING SURFACE CONDITIONS
The SOF Group Headquarters site is described as fairly flat with a downward slope from
northeast to southwest and at the time of our site reconnaissance; the site was wet from
recent rains. Surface elevations range from approximately 250 to 260 ft. MSL. Although
the finished floor elevation had not been established at the time of this report, we
estimate that up to 4 feet of fill will be placed in the southwest portion of the site to
achieve the finished grade. The remainder of the site will be cut to grade, and a 4 to 6-
foot high retaining wall is planned for the north property line.
The site appears to have been used in the past as part of an ammunitions storage area.
From a review of historical aerial photographs on Google Earth, a munitions bunker
appears to have been located near the northeast corner of the site. This bunker is able to
be seen in the photographs before 2012.

Subsurface soil profiles have also been prepared based on the data obtained at the
specific boring locations. The subsurface soil profiles are presented in the Appendix. For
specific details on the information obtained from individual soil borings, please refer to
the Boring Logs included in the Appendix. The elevations of the borings indicated in this
report were obtained from information provided by Joyner Keeny Land Surveyors.
Topsoil encountered on site ranged from about 6 to 12 inches, with an average about 6
to 8 inches. No testing has been performed to verify these soils meet the requirements
of "topsoil". Topsoil depths reported on the boring logs should only be considered an
estimate and topsoil thickness may vary in unexplored portions of the site.
3.3.2 CLAYEY SAND (SC)
Soils described as Clayey Sand (SC) were encountered in 13 of the 14 total borings. This
layer begins below the topsoil in two (2) of the building borings and five (5) of the parking
area borings, with a typical thickness of approximately 5 to 10 feet. In the remainder of
the borings, the clayey sand lies in the middle of a Silty Sand (SM) layer, as described in
section 3.3.4 and has a thickness ranging from about 7.5 to 20+ feet. Overall, this material
is inconsistently layered in the test borings, resulting in significant variation with respect
to classification and consistency.
This soil is generally described as very loose to very dense, reddish brown to tan, and
moist to wet. In the upper 5 feet of Clayey Sand, N-values typically range from 3 to 15
blows per foot, with values in the range 6 to 10 blows per foot considered representative.
As depth of the layer increases, N-values become represent much stiffer soil, ranging from
15 to 40 blows per foot.
Atterberg limits and wash 200 grain size testing was performed on representative samples
collected from this layer. The testing indicates a fines content of 23 to 46 percent, liquid
limits ranging from 32 to 52, and a plastic index of 12 to 24.
3.3.3 ELASTIC SILT (MH)
Elastic Silt (MH) soils were encountered from approximately 0.5 to 14.0 feet below the
surface in boring B-04. The Elastic Silt soils were medium stiff to hard with N-values
ranging from 6 to 49. Atterberg Limits tests performed on selected MH soil samples
indicated a Liquid Limit (LL) of 68 and Plasticity Index (PI) of 29. Wash No. 200 Sieve tests
indicated the MH soil samples contained 53 percent fines.

SOF Group Headquarters, Fort Bragg, NC
Project No: RD180628, 1/31/19
3.3.4 SILTY SAND (SM)
Soils described as silty sand (SM) were observed in 11 of the 14 borings. The silty sand
material typically lies in the middle of a clayey sand layer, with thicknesses ranging from
approximately 2 to 7.5 feet. However, much like the clayey sand soils, this material is
inconsistently layered in the borings, resulting in variation with respect to classification
and consistency.
This soil is further described as loose to very dense, red to tan, and moist to wet. When
found within 5 feet below the surface, N-values range from 2 to 12 blows per foot, with
values in the range 4 to 7 blows per foot considered representative. Much like the clayey
sand soils described in section 3.3.2, as depth of the silty sand soils increase, N-values
increase as well. When encountered more than 5 feet below the surface, the silty sands
exhibited N-values in the range of 18 to 50+ blows per foot, with values in the range of
31 to 45 being considered representative.
Atterberg limits and wash 200 grain size testing was performed on samples collected from
the silty sand soils. The testing indicates a liquid limit of 22 to 54, a plasticity index of 2
to 23, and 39 to 47 percent of the material passes a #200 sieve. These data correspond
to an ASTM classification Silty Sand (SM).
3.3.5 AUGt:R REFUSAL
Auger refusal is the drilling depth at which the borehole can no longer be advanced using
soil drilling procedures. Auger refusal can occur on hard soil, boulders, buried debris or
bedrock. Coring is required to sample the material below auger refusal. Auger refusal
was not encountered in borings drilled for this study.
,.3.6 GROUNDWATER
At the time of drilling, groundwater was not observed in the test borings. Water levels
reported are accurate only for the time and date that the borings were drilled. Long term
monitoring of the boreholes was not included as part of our subsurface exploration. The
borings were backfilled the same day that they were drilled.

2015 International Building Code (IBC) and ASCE 7, Chapter 20 D
The SeisOpt' refraction microtremor (ReMi') method was used to determine the Seismic Site Class of
the building areas. SeisOpt' ReMi' V,30 software uses data from conventional seismograph and P-wave
geophones to estimate average shear wave velocities and one and two-dimensional shear wave profiles
to a depth of 100 feet below the existing site grades. These velocities are used to classify a building site
with the IBC site Class A through E designation. The average shear wave velocity (Vs) in the upper 100
feet was 1,133 feet per second (ft/s). The results of the shear wave velocity analysis are included in the
Appendix.
Table 4: Seismic Site Classification
According to Figure 1613.3.1(1) of the IBC 2015, the project site has a mapped 0.2 second
spectral response acceleration (Ss) of 0.225g. Based on Figure 1613.3.1(2), the project has
a mapped 1.0 second spectral response acceleration (Si) of 0.098g.
Using Tables 1613.3.3(l) and 1613.3.3(2), the mapped spectral accelerations, and Site
Class D; the site coefficients Fa and Fv have been determined to be 1.6 and 2.4, respectively.
The maximum considered spectral response accelerations, Sms and Smi, were determined
to be 0.361g and 0.235g, respectively. The design spectral response accelerations, SDs and
SD1, were determined to be 0.240g and 0.157g, respectively. The analysis indicated the
probability of liquefaction under the design seismic event is low.
'4 SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE AND INFILTRATION TESTING
In order to measure the depth to the Season High Water Table (SHWT), Mr. Mike Eaker, a
North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist with Southeastern Soil & Environmental Associates,
Inc., under contract to Building & Earth Sciences, performed the field measurements and
provided a letter summarizing his work. Mr. Eaker's report details the procedures used in
his field evaluation, the results of his soil observations, the depth to SHWT, and the depth
to observed water at each test location. Mr. Eaker's report is included in the Appendix.
Once the SHWT was measured, infiltration testing was attempted two (2) times at the
project site. However, infiltration testing was unable to be performed either time due to
the presence of perched groundwater on site above planned test elevation.

U SITE DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Since information on final grades was not provided for this site, assumptions have been
made regarding grades for the purpose of this report. Therefore, it will be essential for
Building & Earth to review the final grading plans, when they become available, and be
contracted to provide supplemental recommendations prior to starting construction.
Based on surface elevations at the boring sites, we anticipate cuts and fills in the range of
about 3 to 4 feet will be required to prepare the site for the building pad and pavement
areas.
We understand, a retaining wall system will be constructed along the northern side of the
proposed structure. The maximum height of the walls, nor any plans for the retaining
walls, were not available at the time this report was prepared. When plans become
available, Building & Earth should be contracted to review them. Retaining wall design is
beyond the scope of this report. The retaining wall design, performed by others, should
consider a global stability study on the slope being supported by retaining wall, as part
of the retaining wall design. A global stability study was not performed at part Building &
Earth's evaluation of this site.
Based on our evaluation of the subsurface soil information, and the anticipated
foundation loads, it appears that construction with a conventional spread foundation
system is feasible. The site development recommendations outlined below are intended
for development of the site to support construction with a conventional spread system.
If a different type of foundation system is preferred, Building & Earth should be allowed to
review the site development recommendations to verify that they Cire appropriate for the
preferred foundation system.
The primary geotechnical concerns for this project are:
Moisture sensitive soils encountered across the site.
Elastic silt (MH) soils encountered in B-04.
Low consistency soils (N-value:�6), generally extending to depths of 2 to 5 feet in
borings B-01 through B-04, B-06, P-01, P-02, P-05, P-06.
Proper placement of fill to achieve final grades across the site.
Potential for a perched water condition across the site.
Recommendations addressing the site conditions are presented in the following sections.
Page 110
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
SOF Group Headquarters, Fort Bragg, NC
Project No: RD1 80628, 1/31/19
4.1 INITIAL SITE PREPARATION
All trees, roots, topsoil and deleterious materials should be removed from the proposed
construction areas. Approximately 6 to 8 inches of topsoil were observed in the borings,
with up to 12 inches observed in one of the borings. A geotechnical engineer should
observe stripping and grubbing operations to evaluate that all unsuitable materials are
removed from locations for proposed construction.
Because of past use of the site, buried structures could be encountered such as
foundations, utility lines, septic tanks, etc. If encountered, they should be removed
and backfilled in accordance with requirements outlined in the Structural Fill section
of this report.
Due to the moisture sensitive nature of the on -site soils, positive drainage and temporary
clewatering methods (as discussed in Section 4.3) is important to help avoid degradation
and softening of the soils.
Materials disturbed during clearing operations should be stabilized in place or, if
necessary, undercut to undisturbed materials and backfilled with properly compacted,
approved structural fill. During site preparation activities, the contractor should identify
borrow source materials that will be used as structural fill and provide samples to the
testing laboratory so that conformance to the Structural Fill requirements outlined below
and appropriate moi stu re -density relationship curves can be determined.
4.2 SUBGRADE EVALUATION
We recommend that the project geotechnical engineer or a qualified representative
evaluate the subgrade after the site is prepared. Some unsuitable or unstable areas may
be present in unexplored areas of the site. All areas that will require fill or that will support
structures should be carefully proofrolled with a heavy (40,000 # minimum), rubber -tired
vehicle at the following times.
After an area has been stripped, and undercut if required, prior to the placement
of any fill.
After grading an area to the finished subgrade elevation in a building or pavement
a rea.
After areas have been exposed to any precipitation, and/or have been exposed for
more than 48 hours.
Page 111
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
SOF Group Headquarters, Fort Bragg, NC
Project No: RD1 80628, 1/31/19
Some instability may exist during construction, depending on climatic and other factors
immediately preceding and during construction. If any soft or otherwise unsuitable soils
are identified during the proofrolling process, they must be undercut or stabilized prior
to fill placement, pavement construction, or floor slab construction. All unsuitable material
identified during the construction shall be removed and replaced in accordance with the
Structural Fill section of this report.
1.3 MOISTURE SENSITIVE SOILS
Moisture sensitive silty sands (SM), clayey sands (SQ, and elastic silts (MH) were
encountered across most of the site during the subsurface exploration. These soils will
degrade if allowed to become saturated. Therefore, not allowing water to pond by
maintaining positive drainage and temporary clewatering methods (if required) is
important to help avoid degradation and softening of the soils.
The contractor should anticipate some difficulty during the earthwork phase of this
project if moisture levels are moderate to high during construction. Increased moisture
levels will soften the subgrade and the soils may become unstable under the influence of
construction traffic. Accordingly, construction during wet weather conditions should be
avoided, as this could result in soft and unstable soil conditions that would require ground
modification, such as in place stabilization or undercutting.
4.4 UNUI:KLUIIINU(JI-L(JWL.(jNsisiENCYZIL)ILS
Low consistency soils (N:�6) were encountered in nine (9) of the fourteen (14) borings on
the site in the upper 2 to 5 feet. The near -surface low consistency soils encountered within
the building footprint should be undercut to a stable, suitable subgrade. Although it may
be possible to stabilize some of the surficial soils in -place, it appears undercuts on the
order of 2 to 5 feet can be anticipated within the building pad. The undercutting should
extend laterally 5 feet outside the building footprint.
In the planned pavement areas, undercut depths will be highly dependent upon final
grades and subgrade evaluation results. Undercutting should extend laterally 3 feet
outside of the edge of pavement. It may be possible to stabilize the soft soils in the
pavement areas in place. Typical stabilization methods vary widely and include
modification of the soft soils with the addition of shot rock or No. 2 stone, as well as
utilization of geogrids and graded aggregates. The design of a specific stabilization
method is beyond the scope of this investigation but can be provided by Building & Earth
as an additional service if desired. Any undercutting or stabilization performed in
pavement areas should be conducted under the observation of the geotechnical engineer
or his representative.
Page 112
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
SOF Group Headquarters, Fort Bragg, NC
Project No: RD1 80628, 1/31/19
Some unsuitable or unstable areas may be present in unexplored areas of the site. The
final vertical and horizontal extent of undercutting should be determined by the
geotechnical engineer, or his qualified representative, during construction and could vary
based on final grades and conditions observed. Once the known undercut is complete,
the areas planned for construction should be proofrolled in order to identify any
additional soft soils requiring removal.
Undercut soils should be replaced with structural fill. Clean, non -organic, non -saturated
soils taken from the undercut area can be re -used as structural fill. The placement
procedure, compaction and composition of the structural fill must meet the requirements
of the Structural Fill section of this report.
4.5 SOIL DQUEFACTION POTENTIAL
Soil liquefaction occurs during seismic events when pore water pressure increases, driving
soil particles apart. This results in soil shear strength loss and a soil mass approaching a
liquid state. In level ground conditions such as at the subject site, surface deformation is
expressed as soil spreading, resulting in ground settlement at the surface. Site analysis
including a refraction microtremor (ReMi) geophysical study indicates a low susceptibility
to liquefaction.
.4.o EVALUATION OF ELASTIC SILTS
Based on the laboratory test results, elastic silt soils are present in the eastern portion of
the building pad (boring B-04). The elastic silts were encountered below the topsoil and
extended to 14.0 feet below existing surface. Elastic soils are normally not suitable for
conventional shallow foundations and floor slabs because of the potential for significant
shrinkage or swelling due to moisture variation.
Therefore, it is our opinion that the elastic silts should be undercut to a minimum of 12
inches below pavement subgrade and 36 inches below slab -on -grade elevations. It should
be noted that a swell test was not performed at this time and swell potential was
estimated based on the Atterberg Limits tests. We strongly recommend that any
additional fill placed at the site consist of low plasticity soils placed in accordance with the
Structural Fill section of this report.
4.7 STRUCTURAL FILL
Requirements for structural fill on this project are as follows:

1.8 EXCAVATION CONSIDERATIONS.
All excavations performed at the site should follow OSHA guidelines for temporary
excavations. Excavated soils should be stockpiled according to OSHA regulations to limit
the potential cave-in of soils.

4.8.1 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was not encountered in the test borings. However, it should be noted that
fluctuations in the water level could occur due to seasonal variations in rainfall. The
contractor must be prepared to remove groundwater seepage from excavations if
encountered during construction. Excavations extending below groundwater levels will
require clewatering systems (such as well points, sump pumps or trench drains). The
contractor should evaluate the most economical and practical clewatering method.
4.9 UTILI I Y I KENCH BALKI-ILL
All utility trenches must be backfilled and compacted in the manner specified above for
structural fill. It may be necessary to reduce the lift thickness to 4 to 6 inches to achieve
compaction using hand -operated equipment.
4.10 LANDSCAPING AND DRAINAGE CONSIDERATION
The potential for soil moisture fluctuations within building areas and pavement subgrades
should be reduced to lessen the potential of subgrade movement. Site grading should
include positive drainage away from buildings and pavements. Excessive irrigation of
landscaping poses a risk of saturating and softening soils below shallow footings and
pavements, which could result in settlement of footings and premature failure of
pavements.
11 WET WEATHER CONSTRUCTION
Excessive movement of construction equipment across the site during wet weather may
result in ruts, which will collect rainwater, prolonging the time required to dry the
subgrade soils. At the time of the exploration, the site was wet due to recent rains. During
rainy periods, additional effort will be required to properly prepare the site and
establish/maintain an acceptable subgrade. The difficulty will increase in areas where clay
or silty soils are exposed at the subgrade elevation.
Likewise, rainwater may become perched on the sandy clay and higher consistency
soils encountered below the surficial layers. which could require additional
dewatering efforts not needed during dry conditions. Grading contractors typically
postpone grading operations during wet weather to wait for conditions that are more
favorable. Contractors can typically disk or aerate the upper soils to promote drying
during intermittent periods of favorable weather. When deadlines restrict postponement
of grading operations, additional measures such as undercutting and replacing saturated
soils or stabilization can be utilized to facilitate placement of additional fill material.

It is our understanding that individual column loads will be less than 235 kips, and that
wall loads will typically be less than 1.5 kips per lineal foot, with gable ends up to 2.6 kips
per lineal foot. Our geotechnical analysis and recommendations are based upon these
loading magnitudes. If these assumptions concerning structural loading are incorrect,
our office should be contacted, such that our recommendations can be reviewed.
5.1 SHALLow FoUNDATIONS
Based on the conditions encountered during our field investigation and after our site
preparation and grading recommendations are implemented, the proposed structure the
proposed structure can be supported on conventional shallow foundations designed
using an allowable soil bearing capacity of 2,500 psf.
Even though computed footing dimensions may be less, column footings should be at
least 24 inches wide and strip footings should be at least 18 inches wide. These
dimensions facilitate hand cleaning of footing subgrades disturbed by the excavation
process and the placement of reinforcing steel. They also reduce the potential for
localized punching shear failure. All exterior footings should becir Cit least 24 inches below
the adjacent exterior grade for frost protection.
Settlement calculations were performed in accordance with Schmertmann's settlement
method, along with the soil types described in previous sections. Total settlement of
footings designed and constructed as recommended above should be 1 inch or less.
Depending on the building finished floor elevation, soft and loose soils may be
encountered at or below anticipated footing depth; therefore, verification of bearing
capacity will be critical. We recommend that hand rod probing and dynamic cone
penetrometer (DCP) testing in accordance with ASTIVI STP-399 be performed for all
foundation excavations. Hand rod probing should be performed for 100 percent of the
excavations, and DCP testing should be performed for at least 30 percent of the interior
column footings, and for each 50-foot increment of wall footings.
The following items should be considered during the preparation of construction
documents and foundation installation:
The geotechnical engineer of record should observe the exposed foundation
bearing surfaces prior to concrete placement to verify that the conditions
anticipated during the subsurface exploration are encountered.
0 All bearing surfaces must be free of soft or loose soil prior to placing concrete.
Page 116
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
SOF Group Headquarters, Fort Bragg, NC
Project No: RD1 80628, 1/31/19
Concrete should be placed the same day the excavations are completed and
bearing materials verified by the engineer. If the excavations are left open for an
extended period, or if the bearing surfaces are disturbed after the initial
observation, then the bearing surfaces should be reevaluated prior to concrete
placement.
Water should not be allowed to pond in foundation excavations prior to concrete
placement or above the concrete after the foundation is completed.
Wherever possible, the foundation concrete should be placed "neat", using the
sides of the excavations as forms. Where this is not possible, the excavations
created by forming the foundations must be backfilled with suitable structural fill
and properly compacted.
0 Foundation concrete should not be place over saturated or frozen ground.
0 Roof drains should be routed away from the foundation soils.
6.0 FLOOR SLABS
Site development recommendations presented in this report should be followed to
provide for subgrade conditions suitable for support of grade supported slabs. Floor
slabs will be supported on either stable, natural subgrade or on compacted structural fill.
We recommend floor slabs for the proposed structure be supported on a minimum four -
inch layer of 1/2-inch up to 11/2-inch, free -draining, gap -graded gravel, such as AASHTO
No. 57 stone, with no more than 5 percent passing the ASTIVI No. 200 sieve. The purpose
of this layer is to help distribute concentrated loads and act as a capillary break for
moisture migration through the subgrade soil. This gravel material should be
consolidated in -place with vibratory equipment. With the gravel material, such as
AASHTO No. 57 stone, a modulus of subgrade reaction of 150 pci can be used in the
design of a grade -supported building floor slab.
We recommend a minimum 10-mil thick vapor retarder meeting ASTIVI E 1745, Class C
requirements be placed directly below the slab -on -grade floors. A higher quality vapor
retarder (Class A or 13) may be used if desired to further inhibit the migration of moisture
through the slab -on -grade and should be evaluated based on the floor covering and
use. The vapor retarder should extend to the edge of the slab -on -grade floors and should
be sealed at all seams and penetrations. The slab should be appropriately reinforced (if
required) to support the proposed loads.

7.0 LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site layout provided, a retaining wall will be constructed along the northern
side of the proposed structure. We assume the wall will range in height from 4 to 6 feet,
and will require a site -specific design. The type of wall planned is currently unknown.
For concrete retaining walls (does not include segmental retaining walls), the following
table provides recommended soil specific parameters to be used by the concrete wall
designer for calculation of the lateral loads to the foundations.

Table 7: Soil Parameters and Lateral Earth Pressure Values
Freestanding retaining walls typically are not restrained at the top of the wall, but are
deigned to resist rotation under the action induced by earth pressure. Such walls should
therefore be designed for the active stress conditions. For the evaluation of the resistance
of soil to lateral loads, which is frequently necessary for evaluating the stability of retaining
walls; the passive earth pressure must be calculated. However, the walls of the structure
are designed based upon a "fixed" condition with no rotation. As such, the walls should
be designed under "at -rest" conditions. We have assumed that the clayey and silty sand
(SC, SM) soils will be used as earthen fill to backfill the foundation walls. The elastic silt
(MH) soils encountered at the site will not be suitable for use as backfill.
The above design recommendations assume the following:
0 The wall backfill will be horizontal.
The backfill will be compacted to 92 percent of modified Proctor maximum dry
density. However, we recommend that the compaction of soils behind the wall do
not exceed 95percent in order to limit the lateral stresses applied by the soil into
the wall. Compaction of retained soils should be performed using hand
compaction equipment as heavier equipment will likely over -stress the wall.

Project No: RD1 80628, 1/31/19
• Drainage behind the retaining wall will not allow development of hydrostatic
pressure.
• No safety factor is included in the design factors provided.
• Any surcharge is uniform.
• Wall friction is negligible.
• We are provided the opportunity to perform tests on the proposed, imported
backfill material to confirm it meets design criteria.
Depending upon the analysis of the specialty wall designer, consideration should be
provided towards incorporating surcharge loading from the sloped structural fill and the
building loads into the wall design. Additionally, the designer should perform a global
stability analysis as part of the retaining wall design.
8.0 PAVEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Based on the materials encountered at the boring locations and after our
recommendations for site preparation are implemented, pavements at the subject site
may be designed based on a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of eight (8).
Pavement analysis and design has been completed using the U.S. Army COE PCASE
2.09.05 pavement design program. Traffic loads were provided by Mr. Michael Mayer, PE
of Mason and Hanger, and appear in Table 8, below. Design and analysis are based on
the provided traffic loading over a 25-year design life.

above are in line with those expected. If the owner would like Building & Earth to assess
other likely traffic volumes, we will gladly review other options.
Note: All subgrade, base and pavement construction operations should meet minimum
requirements of the NCIDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures. The

8.2 RIGID PAVEMENT
The following rigid pavement sections are based on the design parameters presented
above. Analysis confirms this section is suitable for support of the heavy-duty traffic
summarized in Table 8. We have assumed concrete elastic modulus (Ec) of 3.6 X 106 psi,
and a concrete modulus of rupture (S'J of 650 psi.
Table 11: Rigid Pavement Recommendations
Page 120
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
SOF Group Headquarters, Fort Bragg, NC
Project No: RD1 80628, 1/31/19
The concrete should be protected against moisture loss, rapid temperature fluctuations,
and construction traffic for several days after placement. All pavements should be sloped
for positive drainage. We recommended that the pavements be reinforced to hold any
cracks that might develop tightly together and restrain their growth.
All pavement components must be placed and compacted in accordance with the
applicable sections of the North Carolina Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge
Construction. All subgrade, base and pavement construction operations should meet
minimum requirements of this document.
9.0 SUBGRADE REHABILITATION
The subgrade soils often become disturbed during the period between initial site grading
and construction of surface improvements. The amount and depth of disturbance will
vary with soil type, weather conditions, construction traffic, and drainage.
The engineer should evaluate the subgrade soil during final grading to verify that the
subgrade is suitable to receive pavement and/or concrete slab base materials. The final
evaluation may include proofrolling or density tests.
Subgrade rehabilitation can become a point of controversy when different contractors are
responsible for site grading and building construction. The construction documents
should specifically state which contractor will be responsible for maintaining and
rehabilitating the subgrade. Rehabilitation may include moisture conditioning and re -
compacting soils. When deadlines or weather restrict grading operations, additional
measures such as undercutting and replacing saturated soils or chemical stabilization can
often be utilized.
10.0 CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
Field verification of site conditions is an essential part of the services provided by the
geotechnical consultant. In order to confirm our recommendations, it will be necessary
for Building & Earth personnel to make periodic visits to the site during site grading.
Typical construction monitoring services are listed below.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGIES
The subsurface exploration, which is the basis of the recommendations of this report, has
been performed in accordance with industry standards. Detailed methodologies employed
in the investigation are presented in the following sections.
DRILLING PROCEDURES — STANDARD PENETRATION TEST (ASTM D 7586)
At each boring location, soil samples were obtained at standard sampling intervals with a
split -spoon sampler. The borehole was first advanced to the sample depth by augering and
the sampling tools were placed in the open hole. The first 12 feet of each boring was
sampled continuously at 24 inches with a 140-pound manual hammer free -falling 30 inches.
From 12 feet to termination of boring, the sampler was driven 18 inches into the ground.
The number of blows required to drive the sampler each 6-inch increment was recorded.
The initial increment is considered the "seating" blows, where the sampler penetrates loose
or disturbed soil in the bottom of the borehole.
The blows required to penetrate the middle two (2) increments for continuous sampling,
and final two (2) increments for standard sampling are added together and are referred to
as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) N-value. The N-value, when properly evaluated, gives
an indication of the soil's strength and ability to support structural loads. Many factors can
affect the SPT N-value, so this result cannot be used exclusively to evaluate soil conditions.
Samples retrieved from the boring locations were labeled and stored in plastic bags at the
jobsite before being transported to our laboratory for analysis. The project engineer
prepared Boring Logs summarizing the subsurface conditions at the boring locations.
Page I A-1
BORING LOG DESCRIPTION
Building & Earth Sciences, Inc. used the gINT software program to prepare the attached boring
logs. The gINT program provides the flexibility to custom design the boring logs to include
the pertinent information from the subsurface exploration and results of our laboratory
analysis. The soil and laboratory information included on our logs is summarized below:
DEPTH AND ELEVATION
The depth below the ground surface and the corresponding elevation are shown in the first
two columns.
SAMPLE TYPE
The method used to collect the sample is shown. The typical sampling methods include Split
Spoon Sampling, Shelby Tube Sampling, Grab Samples, and Rock Core. A key is provided at
the bottom of the log showing the graphic symbol for each sample type.
SAMPLE NUMBER
Each sample collected is numbered sequentially.
BLOWS PER INCREMENT, REC'%, RQD%
When Standard Split Spoon sampling is used, the blows required to drive the sampler each 6-
inch increment are recorded and shown in column 5. When rock core is obtained the recovery
ration (REC%) and Rock Quality Designation (RQD%) is recorded.
SOIL DATA
Column 6 is a graphic representation of four different soil parameters. Each of the parameters
use the same graph, however, the values of the graph subdivisions vary with each parameter.
Each parameter presented on column 6 is summarized below:
• N-value- The Standard Penetration Test N-value, obtained by adding the number of
blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches, is recorded . The graph labels
range from 0 to 50.
• Qu — Unconfined Compressive Strength estimate from the Pocket Penetrometer test in
tons per square foot (tsf). The graph labels range from 0 to 5 tsf.
• Atterberg Limits — The Atterberg Limits are plotted with the plastic limit to the left, and
liquid limit to the right, connected by a horizontal line. The difference in the plastic and
liquid limits is referred to as the Plasticity Index. The Atterberg Limits test results are
also included in the Remarks column on the far right of the boring log. The Atterberg
Limits graph labels range from 0 to 100%.
• Moisture — The Natural Moisture Content of the soil sample as determined in our
laboratory.

Building & Earth Sciences classifies soil in general
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification
System (USCS) presented in ASTM D2487. Table 1
and Figure 1 exemplify the general guidance of
the USCS. Soil consistencies and relative densities
are presented in general accordance with
Terzaghi, Peck, & Mesri's (1996) method, as
shown on Table 2, when quantitative field and/or
laboratory data is available. Table 2 includes
Consistency and Relative Density correlations
with N-values obtained using either a manual
hammer (60 percent efficiency) or automatic
hammer (90 percent efficiency). The Blows Per
Increment and SPT N-volues displayed on the
boring logs are the unaltered values measured in
the field. When field and/or laboratory data is not
available, we may classify soil in general
accordance with the Visual Manual Procedure
presented in ASTM D2488.

KEY TO LOGS
The operator tightens and loosens the rope around a rotating drum assembly to lift
and drop a sliding, 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches.
An automatic mechanism is used to lift and drop a sliding, 140-pound hammer
falling 30 inches.
Uses a 15-pound steel mass falling 20 inches to strike an anvil and cause penetration
of a 1.5-inch diameter cone seated in the bottom of a hand augered borehole. The
blows required to drive the embedded cone a depth of 1-3/4 inches have been
correlated by others to N-values derived from the Standard Penetration Test (SPT).
A 1/8-inch thread cannot be rolled at any water content.
The thread can barely be rolled and the lump cannot be formed when drier than the
plastic limit.
The thread is easy to roll and not much time is required to reach the plastic limit. The
thread cannot be re -rolled after reaching the plastic limit. The lump crumbles when
drier than the plastic limit.
It takes considerable time rolling and kneading to reach the plastic limit. The thread
can be re -rolled several times after reaching the plastic limit. The lump can be
formed without crumblina when drier than the Dlastic limit.
Stratified Alternating layers of varying material or color with layers at least 1/2 inch thick.
Laminated Alternating layers of varying material or color with layers less than 1/4 inch thick.
Fissured Breaks along definite planes of fracture with little resistance to fracturing.
Slickensides Fracture planes appear polished or glossy, sometimes striated.
Blocky Cohesive soil that can be broken down into small angular lumps which resist further
breakdown.
Lensed
Homogeneous
Inclusion of small pockets of different soils, such as small lenses of sand scattered
throuah a mass of clay.
Same color and appearance throughout.

LABORATORY TEST PROCEDURES
A brief description of the laboratorytests performed is provided in the following sections.
DESCRIPTION OF SOILS (VISUAL -MANUAL PROCEDURE) (ASTM D2488)
The soil samples were visually examined by our engineer and soil descriptions were
provided. Representative samples were then selected and tested in accordance with the
aforementioned laboratory -testing program to determine soil classifications and
engineering properties. This data was used to correlate our visual descriptions with the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
POCKET PENETROMETER
Pocket Penetrometer tests were performed on cohesive soil samples. The pocket
penetrometer provides a consistency classification, and an indication of the soils unconfined
compressive strength (Qu).
NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT (ASTM D22 7 6)
Natural moisture contents (M%) were determined on selected samples. The natural moisture
content is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the weight of water in a given amount of
soil to the weight of solid particles.
ATTERBERG LIMITS (ASTM D4378)
The Atterberg Limits test was performed to evaluate the soil's plasticity characteristics. The soil
Plasticity Index (PI) is representative of this characteristic and is bracketed by the Liquid Limit
(LL) and the Plastic Limit (PL). The Liquid Limit is the moisture content at which the soil will
flow as a heavy viscous fluid. The Plastic Limit is the moisture content at which the soil is
between "plastic" and the semi -solid stage. The Plasticity Index (PI = LL - PL) is a frequently
used indicator for a soil's potential for volume change. Typically, a soil's potential for volume
change increases with higher plasticity indices.
MATERIAL FINER THAN NO. 200 SIEVE BY WASHING (ASTM D7 740)
Grain -size tests were performed to determine the partial soil particle size distribution. The
amount of material finer than the openings on the No. 200 sieve (0.075 mm) was determined
by washing soil over the No. 200 sieve. The results of wash #200 tests are presented on the
boring logs included in this report and in the table of laboratory test results.

Table A-1: General Soil Classification Test Results
Soils with a Liquid Limit (LL) greater than 50 and Plasticity Index (PI) greater than 25 usually
exhibit significant volume change with varying moisture content and cire considered to be
highly plastic. Soils with a LOI value greater than 3 percent cire usually not suitable for
supporting building and pavement sections.

Re: Seasonal High -Water Table (SHWT) evaluation for potential stormwatej7
retention/treatment areas, SOF Group Headquarters, "B" Street, off Chicken Road, Fort
Bragg, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Miller,
An evaluation of soil properties on a portion of the aforementioned property has been
conducted at your request. The purpose of the investigation was to determine soil water
table depths for use in stormwater retention design.
Soils at the test site are most similar to the Faceville soil series (see attached boring logs).
Fight (8) soil borings were advanced to depths varying between 8.0 to 10.0 feet. The
shallowest Seasonal High -Water Table (SHWT) as determined by evidence of colors of
chroma 2 or less was encountered at a depth of 59 inches below the ground surface (K3;
see attached chart). The attached map shows the approximate location of the sample
points (as requested by the design engineer).
I trust this is the information you require at this time.
Sincerely,
Mike Eaker
President

Geolechnicol-Enuineeping Repopt
Geotechnical Services Are Performed for
Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects
Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the
specific needs of their clients. A geotechnical- engineering
study conducted for a civil engineer may not fulfill the needs of
a constructor — a construction contractor — or even another
civil engineer. Because each geotechnical- engineering study
is unique, each geotechnicat-enginecring report is unique,
prepared solely for the client. No one except youshould rely on
this geotechnical- engineering report without first conferring
with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one
— not even you — should apply this report for any purpose or
project except the one originally contemplated.
Read the Full Report
Serious problems have occurred because those relying on
a geotecbnical- engineering report did not read it all. Do
not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected
elements only-
Geotechnical Engineers Base Each Report on
a Unique Set of Project -Specific Factors
Geotechnical engineers consider many unique, project -specific
factors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors
include: the client's goals, objectives, and risk -management
preferences; the general nature of the structure involved, its
size, and configuration; the location of the structure on the
site; and other planned or existing site improvements, such as
access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless
the geotechnical engineer who conducted the study specifically
indicates otherwise, do not rely on a geotechnical-engineering
report that was:
• not prepared for you;
• not prepared for your project;
• not prepared for the specific site explored; or
• completed before important project changes were made.
Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing
geotechnical -engineering report include those that affect:
• the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed
from a parking garage to an office building, or from a Light -
industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse;
• the elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight
of the proposed structure;
the composition of the design team; or
project ownership.
As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer
of project changes —even minor ones —and request an
assessment of their impact. Geotechnical engineers cannot
accept responsibility or liabilityfor problems that occur because
their reports do not consider developments of which they were
not i-formed.
Subsurface Conditions Can Change
A geotechnical- engineering report is based on conditions that
existed at the time the geotechnical engineer performed the
study. Do not rely on a geotechnical-engineering report whose
adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of time;
man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the
site; or natural events, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes,
or groundwater fluctuations. Contact the geotechnical engineer
before applying this report to determine if it is still reliable. A
minor amount of additional testing or analysis could prevent
major problems.
Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional
Opinions
Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those
points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are
taken. Geotechnical engineers review field and laboratory
data and then apply their professional judgment to render
an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the
site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ — sometimes
significantly — from those indicated in your report. Retaining
the geotechnical engineer who developed your report to
provide geotechnical-construction observation is the most
effective method of managing the risks associated with
unanticipated conditions.
A Report's Recommendations Are Not Final
Do not overrely on the confirmation -dependent
recommendations included in your report. Confirmation -
dependent recommendations are notfinal, because
geotechnical engineers develop them principally from
judgment and opinion. Geotechnical engineers can finalize
their recommendations only by observing actual subsurface
conditions revealed during construction. Yhe geotechnical
engineer who developedyaur report cannot assume
responsibility or liabilityfor the report's confirmation -dependent
recommendations if that engineer does notperform the
geotechnical-construction observation required to confirm the
recommendations'applicability.
A Geotechnical-Engineering Report Is Subject
to Misinterpretation
Other design -team members' misinterpretation of
geotechnical -engineering reports has resulted in costly
Page I A-16
problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical
engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team
after submitting the report. Also retain your geotechnical
engineer to review pertinent elements of the design team's
plans and specifications. Constructors can also misinterpret
a geatechnical-engineering report. Confront that risk by
havingyour geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and
preconstruction conferences, and by providing geotechnical
construction observation.
Do Not Redraw the Engineer's Logs
Geotechnical engineers prepare final boring and testing logs
based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratoi y
data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a
geotechnical- engineering report should never be redrawn
for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings, Only
photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but
recognize that separating logsftom the report can elevate risk.
Give Constructors a Complete Report and
Guidance
Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they
can make constructors liable for unanticipated subsurface
conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation.
To help prevent costly problems, give constructors the
complete geotechnical-onginecring report, but preface it with
a clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise
constructors that the report was not pf epared for purposes
of bid development and that the report's accuracy is limited;
encourage them to confer with the geotechnical engineer
who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/
or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of
information they need or prefer. A prebid conference can also
be valuable. Be sure constructors have sufficient time to perform
additional study. Only then might you be in a position to
give constructors the best information available to you,
while requiring them to at least share some of the financial
responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions.
Read Responsibility Provisions Closely
Some clients, design professionals, and constructors fail to
recognize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than
other engineering disciplines. This lack of understanding
has created unrealistic expectations that have led to
&appointments, claims, and disputes, To help reduce the risk
of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include
a variety of explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes
labeled "limitations:' many of these provisions indicate where
geotechnical engineers' responsibilities begin and end, to help
others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read
theseprovisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical
engineer should respond fully and frankly.
Environmental Concerns Are Not Covered
The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform
an environmental study differ significantly from those used to
perform a geotechnical study. For that reason, a geotechnical-
engineering report does not usually relate any environmental
findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about
the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks
or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental
problems have led to numerous projectfailures. If you have not
yet obtained your own environmental information,
ask your geotechnical consultant for risk -management
guidance, Do not rely on an environmental report preparedfor
someone else.
Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal
with Mold
Diverse strategies can be applied during building design,
construction, operation, and maintenance to prevent
significant amounts of mold from growing on indoor surfaces.
To be effective, all such strategies should be devised for
the express purpose of mold prevention, integrated into a
comprehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a
professional mold -prevention consultant. Because just a small
amount of water or moisture can lead to the development of
severe mold infestations, many mold- prevention strategies
focus on keeping building surfaces dry. While groundwater,
water infiltration, and similar issues may have been addressed
as part of the geotechnical- engineering study whose findings
are conveyed in this report, the geotechnical engineer in
charge of this project is not a mold prevention consultant;
none of the services performed in connection with the
geotechnical engineer's study were designed or conductedfor
thepurpose of moldprevention. Proper implementation of the
recommendations conveyed in this report will not of itse�be
sufficient toprevent moldftomgrowing in or on the structure
involved,
Rely, on Your GBC-Member Geotechnical Engineer
for Additional Assistance
Membership in the Geotechnical Business Council of the
Geoprofessional Business Association exposes geotechnical
engineers to a wide array of risk- confrontation techniques
that can be of genuine benefit for everyone involved with
a construction project. Confer with you GBC-Member
