Page Street Southern Pines,NC 28387 Re: Seasonal High-Water Table Identification and Soil Infiltration Rates: N. Parker Church Road, Hoke County NC parcel 494560401059 Soil conditions and infiltration rates were evaluated and measured on the above-referenced property within the proposed storm water BMP device. Work was conducted in accordance with Parts A-2 and C-1 of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Stormwater Design Manual. Soil samples were evaluated with a hand auger. SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE IDENTIFICATION Seasonal High Water Table depth is determined by field evaluation for soil wetness conditions which are indicated by the presence of redoximorphic (redox) features with chroma colors of 2 or less (in Munsell color notation) in mottles or the horizon matrix, and at times, saturated soil conditions and/or free water within the soil profile. Colors of chroma 2 or less due to relic minerals from parent material (underlying rock), anaerobic activity created by placement of fill material, or soil textural class transitions (perched water) are not considered as indicators for seasonal high water. Upon determination of SHWT depth, an additional 6" will be deducted from the observed depth to account for capillary fringe water movement above the SHWT. Stormwater infiltration trenches are designed to ensure the lowest point is at least two feet above the Seasonal High Water Table(SHWT). SATURATED HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY (Ksat) Soils evaluated on this property are typical of those within Blaney Loamy Sand Soil series. These soils are well drained to moderately well drained soils with varying rates of permeability. Infiltration rates are measured to determine if soil conditions are suitable for the installation of stormwater infiltration devices. Infiltration rates are measured using a Johnson Constant Head Permeameter. Measurements are recorded at varying intervals until equilibrium is reached. The SHWT and Infiltration rates for the stormwater BMP devices are reported in the table below.

Side walls of the bore hole are "smeared"by the soil auger as the hole is prepared and loose soil in the bottom of the hole is placed in suspension when water is applied; both factors negatively influence water infiltration rates. To help overcome these issues, after excavation of each infiltration trench, it is recommended the trench bottom and sidewalls be raked and dusted with pulverized limestone. These are practices that have been in place within the on-site wastewater industry to help loosen the soil and aid in restoration of soil structure. I am pleased to be of service in this matter and can be contacted at your convenience should you have any questions concerning information within this report.
