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.

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.
