Re: Hydraulic conductivity (permeability) analysis & Seasonal High -Water Table
determination (SHWT) for proposed stormwater retention/treatment area, EEB Holdings,
LLC property, PIN 0425-36-6692, 3563 Camden Road, Fayetteville, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Smith,
An evaluation of soil properties and hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) has been conducted at
your request on a portion of the aforementioned property. The purpose of the
investigation was to determine seasonal soil water table depths (SHWT) based on soil
profiles. In addition, Ksat was to be provided at varying depths for use with stormwater
retention basin design.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity of the unsaturated zone was measured in a similar
method as described in the Soil Science Society of America Journal, Vol, 53, no 5, Sept. -
Oct. 1989, "A Constant Permeameter for Measuring Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of
the Vadose Zone" and Comparison of the Glover Solution with the Simultaneous
Equations Approach for Measuring Hydraulic Conductivity." This consists of advancing
a small diameter bore hole to a predetermined depth (typically at least 2.0 feet above
SHWT). At this depth, a constant head (pressure) was established and maintained.
Flow measurements were made at timed intervals after flow stabilized.
Soils at the proposed basin site are most similar to the Candor soil series (see attached
boring logs). Three soil borings were advanced to 7.25 or more feet below the existing
ground surface. Seasonal High -Water Table (SHWT) as determined by evidence of
colors of chroma 2 or less (and/or concentrations of high redox mottles) was encountered
at depths of 65 to 71 inches below the ground surface. No static water was observed in
any boring on the day of testing.

Six compact constant head permeameter (CCHP) tests were conducted at varying depths
below the ground surface (at least 2.0 feet above SHWT; see attached). The measured
Ksat rate ranged from 6.65 to 21.29 cm/hr. (equivalent to 2.62 to 8.38 inches/hour).
The attached map shows approximate locations of the sample points as well as Ksat
location.
It should be noted that the reported SHWT does not necessarily reflect the elevation of
static groundwater (due to variations in groundwater recharge rates, annual rainfall,
drought conditions, etc.). Reported static water levels are simply a measurement on the
day of analysis.
The data presented in this report are limited by a number of considerations. The primary
consideration is that soil formations can be highly variable. The soils found on this site
can be subject to inclusions of other soil types, perched water, artesian conditions and/or
layers of undulating low permeability clay seams. These and other soil conditions can
have an effect on the steady state of groundwater flow. To the extent possible, we have
identified the soil types that will impact the flow of groundwater and have provided a
professional opinion as to the depth of SHWT.
I trust this is the information you require at this time.
Sincerely,
Mike Eaker
