General Discussion (_L PF) Storm water management for the In/Out Processing Facility site will entail the design of permanent measures to keep post construction rates of sOlm water discharges for the 10 year 24 hour storm at or below the pre -developed discharge rates. The designed permanent measures shall accommodate the 100 year, 24 hour storm without significant flooding or damage to the storm water system and facilities/improvements in the surrounding area. The pre and post construction peak discharges and discharge volumes are calculated using the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) method; formerly the US Soil Conservation Service. The pre -developed discharge rates and volumes are calculated as if the sites were completely undeveloped forest land. _Storm Water Manaqement Implementation: The total area disturbed by construction activity is 3.10 acres. Because of the topography of the proposed site (i.e. grading) the run-off from IPF sub -watersheds A3, A4, A5 and A6 will not be collected in the proposed underground detention basin. In order to comply with the storm water management requirement of keeping the post -developed discharge from the entire site to pre -developed levels for the 10-year, 24 hour storm, run-off from these areas will be treated as bypass. The post -developed 10 year 24 hour peak discharge from the underground detention basin will further be curtailed from the pre -developed values calculated for the entire site (3.10 acres) by the sum of the difference in peak discharges between pre and post developed conditions for the bypass sub -watersheds described above. The process described above will ensure that post developed peak discharge rate of storm water run- offs for the 10 year 24 hour storm are kept at or below the pre -developed level for the entire disturbed site. A storm water collection system is designed to collect the surface run-off from the site and direct it to an underground detention basin located to the north of the new In/Out Processing facility. The underground detention basin is comprised of a total of five, 118-ft, 48 inch diameter interconnected Corrugated Metal Pipes. A sediment trap manhole placed just upstream from the inlet to the basin, will ensure that sedimentation into the underground storage facility is minimized. A 9-inch orifice placed at the outlet end of the basin will control post developed run-off to the pre -developed levels described above. In/Out Processing Facility, Storm Sewer Design The storm sewer system is designed to accommodate the 10-year storm peak discharges. The 25-year storm is used for the hydraulic gradient calculations. The Rational method is used to calculate the peak discharge rates. Roof downspouts are connected to a roof drain collection system and directed to the storm sewer system. Storm Water Detailed Narrative Page 3 In/Out Processing Facility, Storm Water Quality The storm water quality volume is calculated using the "North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual". The "Simple Method", as outlined in section 3.3.1 of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Stomwater Best Management Practices Manual, is used to calculate the storm water quality volume. A total of three bioretention basins (03, 04 and 05) are used for this purpose. _Brigade Headquarters, Energy Independence and Security Act 2007 Section 438 re uirements In compliance with EISA Section 438 requirements, permanent measures shall be designed to keep the post construction ug antitVof stormwater discharges for the 95 percentile rain event (1.8 inch 24 hour rainfall) at or below the pre developed Quantity of discharge, unless it can be shown to be technically unfeasible due to soil types and/or space constraints. Stormwater pre and post construction quantities (volumes) for the 95 percentile rain event are calculated using the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) method; formerly the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. Discussion of BMPs used to address the stormwater quality and quantity Bio retention basins are used to address both stormwater quality and quantity. The bio retention basins are designed per the guidelines as described in Section 12, Bio retention of the "North Carolina Division of Water Quality Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual". Because the bio retention basins will be utilized to address stormwater _quantities, as well as quali, underdrains will not be used. Catch basins, with their grates placed 12-inches above the bottom elevations of the bio retention basins will be used as overflow structures. A 1-ft free board will be provided in each of the three bioretention basins. Stormwaters in excess of the treatment/quantity volumes will be discharged to the stormwater system. The selected BMPs (i.e. bio retention basins) are Low Impact Design (LID) measures which rely on infiltration, a natural method of pollutant removal.

Bragg, North Carolina Stormwater Project No. SW6120302 Request for Additional Information Subject: Responses to Request for Additional InformationIN�g �� � PRAY Dear Mr. Lowther: DEN � Weltanda WATER Qi watea Sri We have addressed your review comments and offer the following responses to the questions listed below: 1. Please provide any supporting documents that need to be updated based on the changes to the BMPs. This includes the calculations for the updated BMPs, the required items checklists, and O&M for the added BMP. Response: Complete "Bioretention Cell Supplement" forms for all the basins at the In/Out Processing Facility site are included (total of 4). This includes the required item checklists and water quality volume calculations. Also included, please find the "Stormwater Management Permit Application Form". Please note that the original application form was submitted earlier, this form is included to only show the revisions to item 10 on page 3 of 6 of the application form. These revisions are in compliance to your review comments. Supporting calculations are included showing how the water quality volumes are calculated using the NC Division of Water Quality, Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual, section 3.3.1 (the simple method). The O&M (Maintenance Agreement form) for the added bioretention basin (IPF RG#4) located at the northwest corner of the POV lot is not included in this package and will be submitted to your attention separately by Fort Bragg. May 17, 2012 Page 1 of 3 Responses to Request for Additional Information 2. Please provide a summary or calculation that clearly shows the comparison of existing BUA verse proposed BUA and how much is treated. Response: Water quality supporting calculations are included. The calculations contain a description of the project and its watersheds, a schematic showing the existing BUA verses the proposed BUA and indicating how much run-off volume is treated. The schematic drawing, along with the site grading and drainage plans is intended to further clarify the areas. Please note that the "Stormwater Management Permit Application Form" discussed in item 1 above does contain the revised existing and proposed BUAs. The revisions are shown on item 10 on page 3 of 6. Please clearly show how the soil permeability was found. I could not find this in the soils report. Response: The soil permeability was field measured and is included in the Geotechnical report. A summary of the findings is provided on page 7 of the report in a tabular form. The entire geotechnical report is also included for your reference. Because of the low permeability values for the In/Out processing facility site, underdrains are added to the bio-retention basins. Please refer to plans C-510 and C-510A. 4. The drainage area for Basin IPF #4 looks to be larger than is shown. While the project only has to treat the additional BUA the BMP must be sized for the drainage area going to that BMP. Please verify the size of the drainage area. Response: The subject watershed area was revised. The larger area is reflected on drawing C-115 and all the supporting calculations, including the "Bioretnetion Cell Supplement' form and the "Stormwater Management Permit Application Form", item 10 on page 3 of 6. 5. The inlets to the bioretention cells must be non -erosive. Please provide calculations showing each inlet is non -erosive or provide inlet protection. Response: May 17, 2012 Page 2 of 3 Responses to Request for Additional Information The velocities of stormwater run-off to the bioretention cells will be larger than 2 ft/s and inlet protection is provided in the form of NC Class "A" Erosion Stone. Please refer to detail 02/C-510 showing where inlet protection is provided. Should you have any questions, or require any additional information, please let us know. In addition to the items described above, please find two sets of the following NC signed and sealed drawings: C-115, C-116, C-130, C-510, C-510A, L-501, L-503.

Similar to the In/Out Processing Facility, before we resubmit, I would like to make sure that we are providing the correct additional information needed to secure the water quality permit. We have done the following to address your request: Added a drawing and a table to the Headquarters Water Quality Calculations (See attached); showing the existing BUA, added BUA areas and, the Bypass BUAs. The drawing and the tables in the.spreadsheet calculations are color coded for ease of reference. All existing BUAs are shown in purple, the blue•areas are the BUA bypass, the yellow areas are the added BUAs and finally the hatched green areas are the existing BUAs which are being treated to account for the added BUA bypass areas. We have increased the sizes of bio-retention basins (BHQ-RG#1 and BHQ-RG#2) to ensure that all of theWater Quality Volume, and not a portion of it, is treated by these basins. See attached drawing C-509. We have updated all of the Bioretention Cell Supplement forms and form SWU-101 and provided a summary calculation in a spreadsheet form showing the comparison of existing BUA verses proposed BUA. The project controls and treats the first inch.of rain for all of the added built upon areas (except the bypass areas). A total of 8,027 SF of added BUA is bypassed. We are able to treat a total of 6,079 SF of existing-BUA-to offset the BUA bypass. Although there is a difference of 1,948 SF of bypass BUA, this run-off will not be directly released to.the storm sewer system. A total of 5,663 SF of added BUA bypass (of the total 8,027 SF) is directed to an undergrouh.d.detention basin before it is released. The entire parking lot to the east of the proposed HQ'.facility will.drain to an underground extended detention basin before it is released to the storm sewer system. We have attached drawings C-505, C-507 and C-508 depicting the underground basin where the bypass run-off will discharge -to. We are requesting that you'look into the possibility of considering the extended detention basin as a means of treatment for the difference (0.04 ac). Please note that although the detention basin is less efficient in removing the total'suspended solids as the bio-retention basins, we are treating a larger volume (5,663 SF) by this method to account for the difference. As discussed with you over the phone last week, there is a possibility that the parking lot, to the east of the Headquarters facility, may increase in size. Should the parking expansion become a reality -we plan,to apply for an - amendment to the stormwater quality permit we are procuring for this site. Please let us know if this.route (amending the permit) is feasible and if not, can you please provide us with suggestions as to how to proceed regarding this matter. Similar to the In/Out Processing Facility submittal, we would like to ask you to please review this information and let us know if we are on the right track prior to making our official submittal to you. We will update the landscaping drawings per your latest landscape comments as part of the final submittai and upon hearing back from you that we are on the right track.

We have increased the size of the bio-retention basin to the north of the POV lot to ensure that all of the Water Quality Volume is treated by basin IPF-RG#4. The remainder of the basins treat all of the water quality volumes for their respective sub -areas. 3. We have updated all of the Bioretention Cell Supplement forms and form SWU-101 and provided a summary calculation in a spreadsheet form showing the comparison of existing BUA verses proposed BUA.

Before we resubmit, I would like to make sure that we are providing the correct additional information needed to secure the water quality permit. We have done the following to address your request: Added a drawing and a table to the IPF Water Quality Calculations (See attached), showing all of the existing BUA areas and all of the Bypass BUA and demonstrated by detailed calculation that the existing BUA treated area exceeds the bypass BUA by 1,995 SF forthe In/Out Processing facility. As you can see, watersheds CA-3 and CA-4 do not have existing Built Upon Areas, whereas watersheds CA-5 and CA-6 do. The numbers on the calculation sheets and the forms reflect this. The existing built upon areas are shown hatched in green and their areas called out (740 SF draining to area CA-5 and 3,880 SF draining to area CA-6, for a total Existing BUA treated of 4,620 SF). The bypass BUAs are shown in blue their areas are Bypass BUA-1=534 SF, Bypass BUA-2=69 SF, Bypass BUA-3=322 SF and Bypass BUA-4=1,700 SF for a total area of 2,625 5F. We have increased the size of the bio-retention basin to the north of the PQV lot to ensure that all of the Water Quality Volume is treated by basin IPF-RG#4. The remainder of the basins treat all of the water quality volumes for their respective sub -areas. 3. We have updated all of the Bioretention Cell Supplement forms and form SWU-101 and provided a summary calculation in a spreadsheet form showing the comparison of existing BUA verses proposed BUA. We have also shown and stated that a total of 4,620 SF of existing Build Upon Area is treated to account for a total of 2,625 SF of bypass built upon area. The project controls and treats the first inch of rain for all of the added built upon areas (except the bypass areas). A total of 4,620 SF of existing Build Upon Area is treated to account for a total of 2,625 SF of bypass built upon area. We would like to ask you to please review the submitted information and let us know if we are on the right track prior to making our official submittal to you. We will update the landscaping drawings per your latest landscape comments as part of the final submittal and upon hearing back from you that we are on the right track. Please note that the final drawings will be seated and signed by NC engineer and landscape architect as we have done before. We plan to submit the same type of information for the HQ facility for input from you prior to our official submittal. Your timely response is greatly appreciated and we are working diligently to adhere to all of the NCDENR requirements to secure the stormwater permits as soon as possible.

Similar to the In/Out Processing Facility, before we resubmit, I would like to make sure that we are providing the correct additional information needed to secure the water quality permit. We have done the following to address your request: Added a drawing and a table to the Headquarters Water Quality Calculations (See attached), showing the existing BUA, added BUA areas and, the Bypass BUAs. The drawing and the tables in the spreadsheet calculations are color coded for ease of reference. All existing BUAs are shown in purple, the blue areas are the BUA bypass, the yellow areas are the added BUAs and finally the hatched green areas are the existing BUAs which are being treated to account for the added BUA bypass areas. 2. We have increased the sizes of bio-retention basins (BHQ-RG#1 and BHQ-RG#2) to ensure that all of the Water Quality Volume, and not a portion of it, is treated by these basins. See attached drawing C-509. 3. We have updated all of the Bioretention Cell Supplement forms and form SWU-101 and provided a summary calculation in a spreadsheet form showing the comparison of existing BUA verses proposed BUA. The project controls and treats the first inch of rain for all of the added built upon areas (except the bypass areas). A total of 8,027 SF of added BUA is bypassed. We are able to treat a total of 6,079 SF of existing BUA to offset the BUA bypass. Although there is a difference of 1,948 SF of bypass BUA, this run-off will not be directly released to the storm sewer system. A total of 5,663 SF of added BUA bypass (of the total 8,027 SF) is directed to an underground detention basin before it is released. The entire parking lot to the east of the proposed HQ facility will drain to an underground extended detention basin before it is released to the storm sewer system. We have attached drawings C-505, C-507 and C-508 depicting the underground basin where the bypass run-off will discharge to. We are requesting that you look into the possibility of considering the extended detention basin as a means of treatment for the difference (0.04 ac). Please note that although the detention basin is less efficient in removing the total suspended solids as the bio-retention basins, we are treating a larger volume (5,663 SF) by this method to account for the difference. As discussed with you over the phone last week, there is a possibility that the parking lot, to the east of the Headquarters facility, may increase in size. Should the parking expansion become a reality we plan to apply for an amendment to the stormwater quality permit we are procuring for this site. Please let us know if this route (amending the permit) is feasible and if not, can you please provide us with suggestions as to how to proceed regarding this matter. Similar to the In/Out Processing Facility submittal, we would like to ask you to please review this information and let us know if we are on the right track prior to making our official submittal to you.

To address your concerns regarding the portion of the new BUA that is bypassing treatment and going to the underground detention basin we offer the following: Run-off from this bypass area will pass through a "sediment trap" prior to entering the underground detention basin. The "sediment trap" is the first stage of sediment removal and will ensure that larger sediments "debris" are not entering the underground detention basin and hence the storm sewer system. I have included drawings C-524, C-515 and C-301 showing this structure. Detail 06/C-524 is the "sediment trap" detail. Drawing C-515 is the actual structural detail for the trap. Detail 03/C-301 shows the location and profile of the trap in relation to the underground detention basin. To address your concerns regarding the TSS removal and the flushing of the sediments during larger storm events we propose to add a "weir structure" at the outlet from the underground detention basin. The "weir structure" will be placed on the 12-inch pipe outlet at BHQ Manhole F. The weir will be equipped with a 1-inch diameter orifice and a hood. The weir, along with the 1—inch orifice, will ensure extended detention and allow for sediment settlement. The weir will also ensure that the sediments will not be flushed out during larger storm events. The hood over the 1-inch orifice will ensure that the opening will not be clogged between scheduled maintenance events. Please refer to the attachment "Proposed Additional Measures" for additional information regarding this proposed measure. Please review this information and let us know if what we propose is acceptable to address your concerns. Should our proposed resolution to address your concerns not be acceptable, please let us know of other viable options we can implement at the underground detention basin to ensure that your concerns are addressed. Due to our efforts to coordinate with you to ensure that all of the additional requested information is provided in our next submittal, we will not be able to resubmit our responses by June 8,2012 as outlined in your May 24,2012 dated response letters . Please consider this email as our official request for additional time to submit the information for both applications (SW6120302 and SW6120303). Although we would like to resubmit early next week, we would like to ask for an extension for July 15,2012.

This is definitely headed in the right direction. It seems like the only issue left is the portion of new BUA that is bypassing treatment and only going to the under detention area. I think we can consider your design but I would like more information on the underground detention area. Our rules require this area to have 85%TSS removal. Can you show how the configuration of the underground detention area will provide this and make sure sediment is not flushed out during a large storm event? I didn't see any details of the outlet structure on the plans. That might be necessary. Brian From: Nick Yeretzian fmailto:Nick.

The existing built upon areas are shown hatched in green and their areas called out (740 SF draining to area CA-5 and 3,880 SF draining to area CA-6, for a total Existing BUA treated of 4,620 SF). The bypass BUAs are shown in blue their areas are Bypass BUA-1=534 SF, Bypass BUA-2=69 SF, Bypass BUA-3=322 SF and Bypass BUA-4=1,700 SF for a total area of 2,625 SF. 2. We have increased the size of the bio-retention basin to the north of the POV lot to ensure that all of the Water Quality Volume is treated by basin IPF-RG#4. The remainder of the basins treat all of the water quality volumes for their respective sub -areas. 3. We have updated all of the Bioretention Cell Supplement forms and form SWU-101 and provided a summary calculation ina spreadsheet form showing the comparison of existing BUA verses proposed BUA. We have also shown and stated that a total of 4,620 SF of existing Build Upon Area is treated to account for a total of 2,625 SF of bypass built upon area. The project controls and treats the first inch of rain for all of the added built upon areas (except the bypass areas). A total of 4,620 SF of existing Build Upon Area is treated to account for a total of 2,625 SF of bypass built upon area. We would like to ask you to please review the submitted information and let us know if we are on the right track prior to making our official submittal to you. We will update the landscaping drawings per your latest landscape comments as part of the final submittal and upon hearing back from you that we are on the right track. Please note that the final drawings will be sealed and signed by NC engineer and landscape architect as we have done before. We plan to submit the same type of information for the HQ facility for input from you prior to our official submittal. Your timely response is greatly appreciated and we are working diligently to adhere to all of the NCDENR requirements to secure the stormwater permits as soon as possible.

SUMMARY ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) has completed a report of subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering services for the for the new T6 Brigade Combat Team (BCT) In/Out Processing Facility located at Ardennes Street on the Fort Bragg Military Reservation in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This summary should not be considered apart from the entire text of the report with all the qualifications and conditions mentioned herein. The project entails the construction of the new 3rd BCT In/Out Processing Facility at Ardennes Street on the Fort Bragg Military Reservation in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The in/out processing facility will be located to the northwest of the 82"1 Airborne Division Museum. The in/out processing building will be a one-story steel -framed structure with a concrete slab -on - grade floor. The proposed finished floor elevation is 378.75 feet. Structural loading information was not furnished. To facilitate our analysis, we have assumed maximum column and wall loads will not exceed 100 kips and 3 kips per linear foot, respectively. Other improvements to the site include paved service drives and parking areas, and three retention ponds. Also included in the project, is the relocation of the C-130. Based on the existing topography across the proposed in/out processing facility, earth cuts and fill placement on the order of 2 to 3 feet will be required to establish the building and pavement design elevations. At the new C-130 site earth cuts up to about 8 feet will be required to establish design elevations. The subsurface conditions at site were explored by drilling eight soil test borings -(BIOP-1 through BIOP-8). Borings BIOP-1 through BIOP-4 were completed in the proposed building area, boring BIOP-5 was completed at the C-130 relocation site, and borings BIOP-6 through BHQ-8 were completed in the proposed pavement areas. The borings in the building area were advanced to depths of about 25 feet below existing site grades with the exception of BIOP-1, which was advanced to a depth of about 75 feet. The boring at the C-130 relocation site was advanced to a depth of about 15 feet below existing site grades. The borings in the pavement areas were advanced to depths of about 5 feet below existing site grades. One bulk sample of the soils anticipated to be used as pavement subgrade was obtained for laboratory testing. In addition, three in -situ infiltration tests and seasonal high water table (SHWT) determinations (1-1 through 1-3) were performed at the requested locations on the site. Borings BIOP-1, BIOP-2, BIOP-3, BIOP-4, BIOP-6, and BlOP-7 initially penetrated a surficial layer of topsoil. The topsoil was about 2 to 3 inches thick and consists of brown silty sand with fine roots and organic matter. The topsoil thickness will likely differ at other locations. Fill was encountered at the ground surface in boring BIOP-8. The fill soils consisted of moist silty sand and were found to extend to a depth of about 3 feet below the ground surface. The SPT N-value in the fill was 19 blows per foot (bpf). The natural site soils are Coastal Plain sediments of sand and clay strata that extend to the 5, 25, and 75-foot depths explored. The sand strata consisted of silty sand (SM), clayey sand (SC), and slightly silty poorly graded sand (SP-SM). The SPT N-values for the sand layers encountered ranged from 6 to 40 bpf denoting loose to dense relative densities. The clay strata consisted of sandy clay (CL and CH). The SPT N-values for clay layers ranged from 12 to greater than 24 bpf indicating stiff to very stiff consistencies. Groundwater was not observed in the borings at the completion of drilling operations. Boring cave-in depths ranged from 10 to 58 feet below the existing site grades. Based on observed conditions, color and degree of saturation of soils, it is our opinion that the long term groundwater level most likely exists at a depth of 20 feet or more below the existing site grades. Seasonal variations in groundwater levels should be anticipated due to precipitation changes, evaporation, surface water runoff, and other factors. Also, perched water conditions may exist when absorbed surface water becomes trapped above fine grained cohesive soils. Based on the in -situ infiltration tests, the apparent seasonal high water table is greater that 108 inches below existing grades and infiltrations rates ranged from 0.10 to 0.18 inches per hour at a depth of 84 inches below existing site grades. Moderate to highly plastic clayey soils (CH) were encountered in the boring BIOP-1. These materials have a moderate to high shrink -swell potential and should not be used as structural fill immediately beneath the building foundations, floor slab, and pavements, but can be used in landscape areas or hauled off -site. Any moderate to highly plastic soils (CH) encountered at building foundation bearing grades should be undercut 3 feet and replaced with structural fill in accordance with the recommendations provided in Section 6.2 Fill Placement and Soil Compaction. Similarly, any moderate to highly plastic clayey soils encountered at floor slab and pavement subgrades should be undercut 18 inches and replaced with structural fill. This recommendation is provided to reduce the potential risk of shrinking and swelling of these moisture sensitive soils, and the adverse effects to the structures supported by them. After the subgrades have been prepared as recommended in Section 6 of this report, the proposed building may be supported on conventional shallow footing foundations and a ground - supported floor slab. An allowable design soil bearing pressure of 3,000 psf is recommended for footings placed on properly evaluated and approved natural soils and/or engineered fill. At the southwest corner of the proposed building (boring BIOP-4), loose sand was encountered to approximately 3 feet below existing site grades. It should be anticipated that up to 3 feet of this material will require removal and re -compaction. Based on Section 1615 of the 2009 North Carolina State Building Code the weighted average N-values from standard penetration testing resulted in a seismic site class of "D". Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services T4 BCT In/Out Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:175110P October 11, 2011 1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW 1.1 Project Description and Scope of Work This report presents the results of the subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering analysis for the new 3rd Brigade Combat Team (BCT) In/Out processing Facility located at Ardennes Street on the Fort Bragg Military Reservation in Fayetteville, North Carolina. We have been provided with a Site Grading Plan which illustrates the proposed site layout, existing and proposed grade, and other site features. The subsurface conditions at site were explored by drilling eight soil test borings (BIOP-1 through BIOP-8). Borings BIOP-1 through BIOP-4 were completed in the proposed building area, boring BIOP-5 was completed at the C-130 relocation site, and borings BIOP-6 through BHQ-8 were completed in the proposed pavement areas. The borings in the building area were advanced to depths of about 25 feet below existing site grades with the exception of BIOP-1, which was advanced to a depth of about 75 feet. The boring at the C-130 relocation site was advanced to a depth of about 15 feet below existing site grades. The borings in the pavement areas were advanced to depths of about 5 feet below existing site grades. One bulk sample of the soils anticipated to be used as pavement subgrade was obtained for laboratory testing. In addition, three in -situ infiltration tests and seasonal high water table (SHWT) determinations (1-1 through 1-3) were performed at the requested locations on the site. The soil test borings were staked in the field by a survey crew prior to our site exploration. The infiltration tests were located in the field by ECS personnel using measurements off existing site features. The approximate boring and infiltration test locations are shown on the Boring Location Plan provided in Appendix A of this report. The ground surface elevations at the boring locations were interpolated from topographic information provided on the Site Grading Plan and should be considered approximate. In conjunction with the soil borings, laboratory testing was performed to help characterize the soil samples obtained from the drilling operations. This report was prepared based upon the results of the boring and laboratory data. The purpose of this exploration is to describe the soil and groundwater conditions that were encountered in the test borings, to analyze and evaluate the test data obtained, and to submit recommendations regarding foundations, slabs, pavements, earthwork, construction, and other geotechnical-related considerations of design and construction. 1.2 Proposed Construction ECS understands that the project consists of the construction of the new 3rd BCT In/Out Processing Facility at Ardennes Street on the Fort Bragg Military Reservation in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The inlout processing facility will be located to the northwest of the `2nd Airborne Division Museum. The in/out processing building will be a one-story steel -framed structure with a concrete slab -on -grade floor. The proposed finished floor elevation is 378,75 feet. Structural loading information was not furnished. To facilitate our analysis, we have assumed maximum column and wall loads will not exceed 100 kips and 3 kips per linear foot, respectively. Other improvements to the site include paved service drives and parking areas, and three retention ponds. Also included in the project, is the relocation of the C-130. Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services Y4 BCT InlOut Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:175110P October 11, 2011 Based on the existing topography across the proposed in/out processing facility, earth cuts and fill placement on the order of 2 to 3 feet will be required to establish the building and pavement design elevations. At the new C-130 site earth cuts up to about 8 feet will be required to establish design elevations. If actual loads and fill heights exceed these assumptions, ECS should be allowed the opportunity to reassess our recommendations. Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3rd BCT In/Out Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:175110P October 11, 2011 2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION 2.1 Exploration Procedures The soil test borings were completed using truck -mounted CME 75-truck mounted drilling rig. The borings were advanced using 2-1/ inch I.D. hollow -stem augers. Drilling fluid was not used to advance the borings. Representative soil samples were obtained by means of the split -barrel sampling procedure in general accordance with ASTM Specification D-1586. In this procedure, a 2-inch 0. D. split - barrel sampler is driven into the soil a distance of 18 inches by a 140 pound hammer with a free fall of 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler through the final 12 inch interval is termed the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) N-value and is indicated for each sample on the boring logs. The SPT N-value can be used to provide a qualitative indication of the in -place relative density of cohesionless soils. In a less reliable way, SPT N-values provide an indication of consistency for cohesive soils. These indications of relative density and consistency are qualitative, since many factors can significantly affect the SPT N-value and prevent a direct correlation between drill crews, drill rigs, drilling procedures, and hammer -rod -sampler assemblies. Field logs of the soils encountered in the borings were maintained by the drill crew. The sail samples obtained from the drilling operations were sealed and were brought to our laboratory for further examination and testing. 2.2 Infiltration Test Procedures The subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the infiltration test locations were explored by advancing a hand auger boring. The groundwater level and the seasonal high water table (SHWT) observed in each hand auger boring at the time of drilling was recorded. An infiltration test utilizing a compact constant head permeameter was conducted near each hand auger boring to estimate the infiltration rate for the subsurface soils. Infiltration tests are typically conducted at two feet above the SHWT. If the SHWT is less than three feet, the test is conducted at ten inches below the surface elevation. Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotochnical Engineering services Yd BCT InlOul Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33.17511OP . October 11, 2011 3.0 LABORATORY TESTING 3.1 Laboratory Testing Program Laboratory tests were performed on a representative portion of the soil samples obtained during the exploration. These included tests for natural moisture content, Atterberg limits, and percent of particles finer than the U.S. Standard No. 200 mesh sieve. Modified Proctor compaction and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests were performed on the bulk sample to aid in evaluating the on -site soils for use as pavement subgrade. The data obtained from the laboratory tests are included in the Laboratory Testing Summary in Appendix C of this report. The soil samples collected for this exploration will be retained at our laboratory for a period of sixty days, after which they will be discarded unless other instructions are received as to their disposition. 3.2 Visual Classification An engineer classified each soil sample on the basis of texture and plasticity in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The group symbols for each soil type are indicated in the parentheses following the soil descriptions on the boring logs. A brief explanation of the USCS is included in Appendix B of this report. The engineer grouped the various soil types into the major zones noted on the boring logs. The stratification lines designating the interfaces between earth materials on the boring logs are approximate; in -situ, the transitions will be gradual and/or at slightly different elevations/depths. 3.3 Laboratory Testing Methods 3.3.1 Moisture Content Tests ASTM Designation D2216 gives the standard procedure for determining the moisture content of soil. The moisture content is defined as the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of solids in a given soil mass and is usually expressed as a percentage. The moisture content is determined by weighing a soil sample, thoroughly drying it at a specified temperature, and weighing it after drying. 3.3.2 Atterberg Limits ASTM Designation D4318 gives the standard procedure for determining the Plastic and Liquid Limits of soil. The sample for the Liquid and Plastic limit tests is prepared by removing any material larger than the #40 (425pm) sieve. The Liquid ,Limit test is determined by performing multiple trials in which a portion of the prepared sample is spread in a cup (of specified material and dimensions), divided by a grooving tool, and allowed to flow together a distance of 1/2 inch by the force of repeatedly dropping the cup in a standard mechanical device. Data from the multiple trials is plotted with the water content on the y-axis and the number of drops required to close the groove on the x- Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3rd BCT In/Out Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33.17511OP October 11, 2011 axis. The Liquid Limit is defined as the water content at which 25 drops are required to close the groove made in the soil. The Plastic Limit is determined by rolling a small portion of the prepared soil sample to a thread with a uniform diameter of 1/8 inch. The thread is rolled into a ball and rerolled into a thread with a uniform diameter of 1/8 inch. The process is repeated until the thread crumbles and can no longer be rolled into a thread. The water content of the soil at this point is the Plastic Limit. The Plasticity Index is defined as the difference between the Liquid Limit and the Plastic Limit. 3.3.3 Percent of Particles Finer Than the U.S. Standard No. 200 Mesh Sieve ASTM Designation Di 140 gives the standard procedure for determining the amount of material in a soil finer than the No. 200 (75-microns) sieve. The sample is dried, soaked in water, agitated, and poured over the No. 200 sieve. The material retained on the No. 200 sieve is dried, and weighed. The No. 200 sieve represents the boundary in the Unified Classification System between coarse grained soils (sand) and fine grained soils (silt and clay). 3.3.4 Modified Proctor ASTM Designation D1557 gives laboratory compaction procedures to determine the relationship between the water content and dry unit weight of soils. The test is performed by placing three layers of soil at a selected water content into a mold of specified dimensions and compacting each layer 25 times with a 10-pound rammer. The rammer is dropped a distance of 18 inches and subjects the soil sample to a total compactive effort of approximately 56,000 ft-Ib/ft3. The resulting dry unit weight is determined. This procedure is repeated for a sufficient number of water contents to establish a relationship between 'the dry unit weight and water content for the soil. This data, when plotted, represents a curvilinear relationship known as the compaction. 3.3.5 California Bearing Ratio (CBR) ASTM Designation D1883 gives the test method to determine the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of pavement sub -grade sub -base and base/course materials from laboratory compacted specimens. This test is performed by compacting a soil sample to a specified density using laboratory compaction techniques. The sample is then soaked for 96 hours and subjected to penetration by a 2-inch diameter cylindrical piston. The stress at penetrations of 0.1 inch and 0.2 inch In the wet conditions are used to calculate the CBR values for the soil. Typically the CBR value determined for a penetration of 0.1 inch on the soaked sample is used for pavement design. Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services P BCT In/Out Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:1751top October 11, 2011 4.0 EXPLORATION RESULTS 4.1 Site Conditions The site planned for the new in/out processing facility is located to the northwest of the 82nd Airborne Division Museum. The site is currently a grass cover parade field with the C-130 exhibit. The current site grades are relatively flat with an estimated elevation differential of about 1 to 3 feet across the proposed building and pavement areas. The C-130 relocation site is wooded and located to the northeast of the in/out processing facility. The current site grades at the C-130 relocation site slope downward from the northeast to southwest with an estimated differential of about 8 feet. 4.2 Site Geology and Subsurface Conditions The referenced site is located within the Coastal Plain Province of North Carolina. The Coastal Plain Province is a broad flat plain with widely spaced low rolling hills where the near surface soils have their origin from the deposition of sediments several million years ago during the period that the ocean receded from this area to its present location along the Atlantic Coast. It is noted that the Coastal Plain soils vary in thickness from only a few feet along the western border to over ten thousand feet in some areas along the coast. The sedimentary deposits of the Coastal Plain rest upon consolidated rocks similar to those underlying the Piedmont and Mountain Physiographic Provinces. In general, shallow unconfined groundwater movement within the overlying soils is largely controlled by topographic gradients. Recharge occurs primarily by infiltration along higher elevations and typically discharges into streams or other surface water bodies. The elevation of the shallow water table is transient and can vary greatly with seasonal fluctuations in precipitation. 4.3 Soil Conditions The specific soil conditions at each boring location are noted on the individual boring logs presented in Appendix B. A general description is also provided below. Subsurface conditions can and often do vary between boring locations and in unexplored areas. Borings BIOP-1, BIOP-2, BIOP-3, BI0P-4, BIOP-6, and BIOP-7 initially penetrated a surficial layer of topsoil. The topsoil was about 2 to 3 inches thick and consists of brown silty sand with fine roots and organic matter. The topsoil thickness will likely differ at other locations. Fill. was encountered at the ground surface in boring BIOP-8. The fill soils consisted of moist silty sand and were found to extend to a depth of about 3 feet below the ground surface. The SPT N-value in the fill was 19 blows per foot (bpf). The natural site soils are Coastal Plain sediments of sand and clay strata that extend to the 5, 25, and 75-foot depths explored. The sand strata consisted of silty sand, (SM), clayey sand (SC), and slightly silty poorly graded sand (SP-SM). The SPT N-values for the sand layers encountered ranged from 6 to 40 bpf denoting loose to dense relative densities. The clay strata consisted of sandy clay (CL and CH). The SPT N-values for clay layers ranged from 12 to greater than 24 bpf indicating stiff to very stiff consistencies. Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3'd BCi In/Out Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:1751IOP October 11, 2011 4.4 Groundwater Groundwater was not observed in the borings at the completion of drilling operations. Boring cave-in depths ranged from 10 to 58 feet below the existing site grades. Based on observed conditions, color and degree of saturation of soils, it is our opinion that the long term groundwater level most likely exists at a depth of 20 feet or more below the existing site grades. Seasonal variations in groundwater levels should be anticipated due to precipitation changes, evaporation, surface water runoff, and other factors. Also, perched water conditions may exist when absorbed surface water becomes trapped above fine grained cohesive soils. Based upon the in -situ testing performed; the following seasonal high water table and infiltration rates were obtained. The in -situ infiltration tests were performed at 7 feet below existing site grades. Location ID Seasonal High Water Table Infiltration Rates 1-1 > 108 inches 0.10 in/hr 1-2 > 108 inches 0.18 in/hr 1-3 > 108 inches 0.13 in/hr Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services P BCT In/Out Processing Facility ECS Projoct Number 33:1751IOP October 11, 2011 5.0 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following design and construction recommendations are based on our above -stated understanding of the proposed construction and on the data obtained from the field exploration and visual soil classification. If the structural loading, geometry, or proposed building location is changed, we request the opportunity to review our recommendations in light of the new information and revise them as necessary. The following recommendations are for design purposes and may require modification. Any environmental or contaminant assessment efforts are beyond the scope of this exploration. 5.1 Foundations After the subgrades have been prepared as recommended in Section 6 of this report, support of the proposed building may be achieved using conventional shallow spread foundations bearing directly upon properly evaluated and approved natural soils and/or properly compacted structural fill. At the southwest corner of the proposed building (boring BIOP-4), loose sand was encountered from approximately 3 feet below existing site grades. It should be anticipated that up to 3 feet of this material will require removal and re -compaction. Foundations may be proportioned for a maximum net allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot. The exterior foundations should bear at least 18 inches below the adjacent exterior design grade to afford protective embedment. The interior foundations should bear at least 12 inches below the floor slab. The edges of "turned -down" slab designs should bear at least 12 inches below adjacent exterior grades. The column foundation should have a minimum width of 24 inches. The wall foundations should have a minimum width of 18 inches. Uplift loads can be resisted by the weight of the foundation concrete and the weight of the soil backfill over the foundations. The unit weight of the soil can be assumed to be 100 pcf. This unit weight assumes that the soils are compacted to the minimum density recommendations. Lateral loads can be resisted by passive resistance of the soil as well as friction of the foundation on the underlying bearing materials. The passive resistance can be calculated assuming the soil acts as a fluid with an equivalent unit weight of 300 pcf. Soil friction can be calculated based on the compressive load on the foundation multiplied by a friction coefficient of 0.4. We recommend a safety factor of at least 2 be used in calculating the restraining forces. The stability of the site soils encountered at the foundation bearing grades should be determined with field tests as foundation excavation progresses. As a test procedure, dynamic cone penetration (DCP) tests should be performed in the foundation excavations as determined by our project geotechnical engineer. Our project engineer should evaluate the results of the tests to ascertain that adequate soil bearing capacity is achieved. Soils loosened by the excavation process should be re -compacted to an acceptable density or hand trimmed and removed. If unsuitable materials are encountered at the base of a foundation excavation, it will be necessary to lower the base of the footing through the unsuitable materials or to undercut the unsuitable soils and to restore original bearing levels by placing engineered fill materials, No. 57 or No. 67 stone, or flowable fill. Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3id BCT In/Out Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33A751IOP October 11, 2011 Exposure to the environment may weaken the soils at the footing bearing levels if the foundation excavations remain open for too long a time. Therefore, foundation concrete should be placed during the same day that excavations are made. If the bearing soils are softened by surface water intrusion or exposure, the softened soils must be removed from the foundation excavations prior to placement of concrete. No foundation 'should be constructed on frozen subgrade. 5.2 Settlement Total settlements of individual footings, designed in accordance with our recommendations presented in this report, are expected to be on the order of 1 inch. Differential settlement between any adjacent, similarly -loaded columns is expected to be on the order of '/2 inch. Sufficient time should be allowed for any newly -placed fill settlements to stabilize prior to beginning foundation construction. 5.3 Floor Stabs The slab -on -grade subgrade should be prepared as outlined in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this report. A modulus of subgrade reaction of 125 pci is recommended for site soils or properly placed and compacted structural fill. To reduce curling of the floor slab and the resulting cracking, proper curing techniques should be used. We recommend that a capillary cutoff layer be provided under the floor slabs to prevent the rise of moisture to the slab. The capillary layer should consist, at a minimum, of a 4-inch thick clean sand, crushed stone or washed gravel layer, having a maximum size of 1.5 inches with a maximum of 2 percent passing the No. 200 sieve. A vapor barrier should be utilized on top of the aggregate to provide additional moisture protection. This vapor barrier should be placed immediately before the placement of the floor slab concrete to help minimize damages. Prior to placing the aggregate for the capillary cutoff layer, the floor slab subgrade soil should be properly compacted, free of standing water or mud, and stable during a final proofroll. 5.4 Seismic Site Class Determination Based on Section 1615 of the 2009 North Carolina Building Code, the site has the following characteristics: Maximum Considered Earthquake Ground Motion 0.2 sec. Spectral Response, Ss — 0.29 g Maximum Considered Earthquake Ground Motion.1.0 sec. Spectral Response, S1 —0.10 g Site Classification — D Site Coefficient Fa — 1.6; Spectral Response Acceleration SIDS — 0.310 g Site Coefficient Fv — 2.4; Spectral Response Acceleration SD1 — 0.160 g Development of the general design response spectrum curve in accordance with Building Code requires the fundamental period for the structure and, therefore, is left to the Structural. Engineer. Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3'd SCT in/Out Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:175110P October 11, 2011 5.5 Site Drainage We recommend the ground surface be sloped away from the building and pavements for a minimum distance of 10 feet, and that all downspouts be connected to tightline drains that discharge to a suitable location downslope of the building or discharge directly into below -grade storm water piping. In addition, any pavement areas should have positive drainage. 5.6 Groundwater Control Based on the results of the borings, we do not anticipate that dewatering will be necessary during construction. If groundwater or a perched water condition is encountered during construction, it probably can be controlled through the use of ditches, sumps, and pumps. If water is encountered that cannot be controlled by such procedures, ECS should be further consulted. Earthwork and trench excavation in saturated materials may require sheeting and shoring, slope flattening, or benching to control sloughing of soils. If water collects in foundation excavations, it will be necessary to remove the water from the excavation, remove the saturated soils, and re -test the adequacy of the bearing surface to support the design bearing pressure prior to concrete placement. 5.7 Cut and Fill Slopes We recommend that any cut and fill slopes be constructed at 2.5H:1V (horizontal to vertical) or flatter. A slope of 3H:1 V or flatter is recommended for safer operation of mowing equipment. Fill slopes should be compacted to 92 percent of the. maximum dry density obtained in accordance with ASTM Specification D 1557, Modified Proctor Method. Fill slopes should be overbuilt and cut back to expose well compacted fill on the face of the slope. Where fill is being placed on existing slopes, the new fill should be benched into the existing slope. For slope stabilization purposes, we recommend that the slopes be adequately vegetated to reduce the risk of erosion. Slopes should be graded such that surface water does not flow over the face of the slope. Drains should be extended to below the toe of the slope rather than discharged onto the face of the slope. 5.8 Excavation Considerations The sidewalls of excavations should be stepped back with benches or slopes in accordance with the requirements of the most current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR Part 1926, "Occupational Safety and Health Standards -Excavations." The soils classify as Type C and Type B according to the OSHA trenching and excavation guidelines. Excavation sidewalls that cannot be properly stepped back should be braced against collapse. The design of the bracing system should include lateral earth pressures and temporary surcharge loads from construction traffic and materials stockpiled next to the excavation. The design and construction of excavation bracing is typically the responsibility of the specialty subcontractor selected to install the system. Regardless, site safety shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor and his subcontractors. 10 Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3'd BCT InfOut Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:175110P October 11, 2011 5.9 Pavements Pavement subgrades should be prepared as outlined in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this report. We were not provided with vehicle counts and axle -loading information associated with the traffic volume at the facility. However, for purposes of this study, we have assumed that parking areas will receive primarily automobile traffic, and the entrances and service drives will be subjected to some heavy truck traffic. We have assumed traffic loads of 10,000 and 100,000 18-kip equivalent single axle loadings (ESALS) for standard -duty and heavy-duty pavements, respectively. In the parking and service drive areas, we recommend that the pavements be designed as flexible pavements using guidelines established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). One California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test was performed on the anticipated subgrade soils consisting of silty sand. Based on our experience with the anticipated subgrade conditions and the results of our laboratory tests performed, we expect that the subgrade conditions will provide a minimum CBR value of about 8, which has been used in the thickness design of each pavement section. Based on the above CBR value and assumed traffic loading conditions, various pavement sections were evaluated in general accordance to the 1993 "Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures" by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). For the purposes of this report the following pavement design criteria was used: initial serviceability index of 4.2, terminal serviceability index of 2.0, reliability level of 90 percent, and an overall standard deviation of 0.45. Heavy Duty Material Designation Standard Duty Heavy Duty Portland Cement Asphalt Asphalt Concrete (PCC) Pavement' Pavement** Pavement** Asphalt Surface Course 1.5 inches 1.5 inches - SF9.5B Asphalt Binder Course 119.OB - 2.5 inches - Portland Cement Concrete - - 6 inches Aggregate Base Course 6 inches 6 inches 6 inches NCDOT ABC Note** : Geogrid such as Teser BX1100 or woven geotextile fabric and additional stone base course materials may be necessary in localized areas to achieve subgrade stabilization. The need for such materials will be a function of subgrade conditions at the time of pavement construction. The base course materials beneath pavements should be compacted to 98 percent of their modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557). The asphalt concrete and crushed stone materials should conform to the North Carolina Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures. For Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement sections, the concrete should be plant -mixed with a minimum compressive strength of 4,000-psi at 28-days and should contain 4 to 6 percent entrained air. Appropriate steel reinforcing and jointing should be incorporated into the design of PCC pavements. El Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotochnical Engineering Services 3rd OCT InlOut Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:1751IOP October 11, 20i1 Front -loading trash trucks frequently impose concentrated front -wheel loads on pavements while lifting the dumpster. This type of loading typically results in rutting of bituminous pavements and ultimately pavement failures and costly repairs. Therefore, we recommend a heavy duty PCC pavement section in the area of the trash dumpster, including the area where the front axle of the trash truck will be located while lifting the dumpster. Regardless of the section and type of construction utilized, saturation of the subgrade materials will result in a softening of the subgrade materials and shortened life span for the pavement. Risk of subgrade softening can be reduced by means of quickly removing surface and subsurface water, resulting in an increased likelihood of improved pavement performance. Therefore, we recommend that both the surface and subsurface materials for the pavement be properly graded to enhance surface and subgrade drainage. In addition, placement of 1/2-inch diameter holes drilled through catch basins at or slightly above the subgrade elevation will facilitate base course drainage into the catch basin. 5.10 Retaining Walls ECS can provide design services for any proposed retaining walls or stabilized slopes if you desire. Retaining walls must be designed to resist lateral earth pressures from the backfill. We recommend the following lateral earth pressure values for proposed retaining walls: Onsite Soils Consisting of SM. SC, and SP-SM Angle of internal friction (y) = 30' Moist Unit Weight (y id l) = 115 pcf Active earth pressure (Ka) = 0.33 Active equivalent fluid density (yeq) = 38 pcf At -rest pressure (K,) = 0.5 At -rest equivalent fluid density NO = 57.5 pcf Passive pressure (Kp) = 3 Passive equivalent fluid density (yeq) = 345 pcf Coefficient of sliding friction (p) = 0.4 These ultimate values are based on a level ground surface, well -drained backfill, and the placement of property compacted backfill between the walls and undisturbed natural soils. Appropriate factors of safety should be applied. Additional laboratory testing should be performed to verify these parameters, as well as others, required for the proper design of any retaining walls at the site. High plasticity soils should not be used in the backfill of the site walls, and should be undercut if encountered in the footings, zone of influence, or retention zone in the case of segmental walls The values for active conditions should be used if the wall is allowed to tilt out a sufficient distance to fully mobilize soil strengths. The amount of movement is approximately 1 inch for every 20 feet of height of wall for loose sand conditions. For rigid, non -yielding walls, at -rest conditions should be used. In addition to the lateral stresses from the backfill, the walls may be subjected to additional surcharge loading from adjacent traffic, stockpiled materials, sloping backfill or stresses from 12 Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3'4 BCT InlOut Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:1751I0P October 11, 2011 nearby footings or floor slabs. If present, these surcharge stresses should be resolved into appropriate lateral stress distributions and added to the earth pressures outlined above. Typically, where vehicles can approach within half the height of a retaining wall, a surcharge equivalent to 2 feet of additional fill should be included. Groundwater should be considered in the design of any retaining walls on site. An adequate drainage system must be designed and installed. The drainage system should consist of a vertical wall drain consisting of a designed filtered aggregate drain or commercial geosynthetic drain such as Enka -Drain or Mirra-Drain. The vertical drain should be connected to a foundation drain, which drains by gravity to a low point on site. Backfll placed within a distance of one-half the height of retaining walls should be compacted with hand guided equipment to avoid overstressing the walls during construction. Similarly, heavy equipment should not be operated adjacent to the walls without adequate bracing. High plasticity soils should not be used as backfill as they may adsorb water, expand and exert significant lateral loads on the wall. Therefore, the contractor should use granular materials that are easily compacted in thin lifts with light equipment. 5.11 C-130 Foundation Based upon our findings, the C-130 may be supported using conventional shallow spread foundations bearing directly upon properly evaluated and approved natural soils and/or properly compacted structural fill: Foundations may be proportioned for a maximum net allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot. The foundations should be designed to bear at least 18 inches below the final exterior grades. The foundation bearing grades should be evaluated immediately prior to concrete placement by ECS to verify that the exposed subgrade is capable of satisfactorily supporting the design loads. 13 Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3'" BCT In/Out Processing Facility EC Project Number 33:1751IOP October 11, 2011 6.0 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS 6.1 Site Preparation and Clearing Site preparation should commence with the clearing and stripping of all trees, vegetation, topsoil, debis, deleterious materials, and any other soft or unsuitable materials from the existing ground surface. These operations should extend at least 10 feet beyond the limits of the planned building and pavement construction. All existing underground utilities within the proposed building area should be removed including bedding and backfill materials. Excavations resulting from underground utility removal should be backfilled with structural fill. Pockets of trapped water could be encountered in utility trench excavations and during the removal of underground structures and should be promptly removed. Pumping from a sump pit located within the excavation should be an effective method of controlling such groundwater seepage. Soft wet soils remaining in the bottoms of excavations should be undercut and removed to establish firm subgrade conditions prior to backfilling. All undercut areas should be backfilled with compacted structural fill. Once the site is cleared and stripped as outlined above, we recommend that areas at grade and areas to be filled be thoroughly proofrolled. The proofrolling should be accomplished using a loaded dump truck having an axle weight of at least 10 tons or rubber -tired equipment of similar weight and tire pressures. The proofrolling should be observed by an experienced geotechnical engineer, or his representative, at the time of construction to aid in identifying any areas with soft or unsuitable materials. Any soft or unsuitable materials identified during proofrolling operations should be either repaired in -place or removed and replaced with an approved fill material placed and compacted in accordance with the recommendations provided in Section 6.2 Fill Placement and Soil Compaction. Potential undercutting of low SPT N-value materials should be anticipated to depths of about 3 feet in the vicinity of borings BIOP-4 and BIOP-7. Moderate to highly plastic clayey soils (CH) were encountered in the boring BIOP-1. These materials have a moderate to high shrink -swell potential and should not be used as structural fill immediately beneath the building foundations, floor slab, and pavements, but can be used in landscape areas or hauled off -site. Any moderate to highly plastic soils (CH) encountered at building foundation bearing grades should be undercut 3 feet and replaced with structural fill in accordance with the recommendations provided in Section 6.2 Fill Placement and Soil Compaction. .Similarly, any moderate to highly plastic clayey soils encountered at floor slab and pavement subgrades should be undercut 18 inches and replaced with structural fill. This recommendation is provided to reduce the potential risk of shrinking and swelling of these moisture sensitive soils, and the adverse effects to the structures supported by them. The plastic soils removed can be used as structural fill; however, they should be placed in deeper fill areas to insure a minimum of 3 foot separation between the top of the plastic soils and the bottom of footings or pavements. Alternately, these soils could be blended with non -plastic soils at a ratio of 1 plastic to 2 non -plastic. The natural soils at this site will deteriorate when exposed to moisture. The exposed subgrades should be sloped to promote surface runoff and reduce the ponding of water. When rainfall is anticipated during grading operations, we recommend that areas of disturbed soil be sealed using a smooth drum roller or rubber -tired equipment to reduce the infiltration of water and grading activities cease until the site has had a chance to dry. Water that may accumulate in 14 Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3' BCT InfOut Processing Facility ECS Project Number 33:175110P October 11, 2611 the footing excavations as a result of rainfall or surface water runoff should be immediately removed. Loosened or disturbed materials at the base of footing excavations should be removed prior to the placement of reinforcing steel or concrete. To facilitate heavy truck traffic in and out of the site during construction, temporary construction roads may be necessary. On a preliminary basis, we expect that the construction roads would need to consist of at least 12 inches of coarse aggregate base stone underlain with a woven geotextile such as Mirafi 50OX or Tensar BX-1100 Geogrid. An additional thickness of stone will likely be required to maintain the roadways in localized areas of concentrated traffic or where soft ground or shallow groundwater conditions might exist. Grading operations at this site will be more economical if performed during the drier periods of the year (typically April to November). During the drier periods of the year, wet soils may be dried -back by using discing operations or other drying procedures to obtain moisture contents necessary to achieve adequate degrees of compaction. 6.2 Fill Placement and Sail Compaction Soils used as fill and backfill should be approved materials, free of organics, debris, frozen and foreign material, and generally having a maximum Liquid Limit of 50 and a maximum Plasticity Index of 20. The on -site soils consisting of silty sand (SM), clayey sand (SC), and slightly silty poorly graded sand (SP-SM) should be able to be used as fill and backfill material for this project provided moisture contents are controlled. Importing of fill material may be necessary to balance the site. All imported fill should be tested for conformance with above requirements before being transported to the site. The maximum particle size in the fill should be less than the thickness of the compacted lift. Any fill or backfill placed in foundation, slab, pavement, utility trench, or sidewalk areas should be compacted to a minimum of 92 percent of the maximum dry density obtained in accordance with ASTM Specification D 1557, Modified Proctor Method. However, the upper 18 inches of fill below the pavement areas should be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum dry density. Fill should be placed in lifts no greater than 8 inches in loose thickness with fill operations continuing until the subgrade elevations are achieved. In areas where hand compaction equipment is used, fill should be placed in loose lifts no more than 4 inches thick. Any fill or backfill placed in landscaped areas should be compacted to a minimum of 85 percent of the maximum dry density obtained in accordance with ASTM Specification D1557, Modified Proctor Method. We recommend that the placement of compacted structural fill and recompaction of the subgrade be observed to determine if proper compaction is being achieved. In -place density tests made in accordance with ASTM Designation D 1556 or equivalent should be used to verify compaction. We recommend a minimum of one test per lift for every 5,000 square foot area, or fraction thereof for each lift of fill placed. We also recommend at least one test per lift for every 100 linear feet of utility trench and roadway backfill, or fraction thereof. 15 Report of Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Services 3'6 BCT inlOut Processing Facility ECs Project Number 33:175110P October 11, 2011 7.0 GENERAL COMMENTS This report has been prepared in order to aid in the evaluation of this property and to assist the architect and/or engineer in the design of this project. The scope is limited to the specific project and locations described herein and our description of the project represents our understanding of the significant aspects relative to soil and foundation characteristics. In the event that any changes in the nature or location of the proposed construction outlined in this report are planned, we should be informed so that the changes can be reviewed and the conclusions of this report modified or approved in writing by the geotechnical engineer. It is recommended that all construction operations dealing with earthwork and foundations are reviewed by an experienced geotechnical engineer to provide information as to whether the design requirements are fulfilled in the actual construction. If you wish, we would welcome the opportunity to provide field construction services for you during construction. The analysis and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the soil borings and tests performed at the locations as indicated on the Boring.Location Diagram and other information referenced in this report. This report does not reflect any variations which may occur between the borings. In the performance of the subsurface exploration, specific information is obtained at specific locations at specific times. However, it is a well-known fact that variations in soil conditions exist on most sites between boring locations and also such situations as groundwater levels vary from time to time. The nature and extent of variations may not become evident until during the course of construction. If site conditions vary from those identified during the subsurface explorations, the recommendations contained in this report may require revision. 16 APPENDIX A FIGURES i AR I.F.

This report does not reflect specific variations that may occur between test locations. The borings were located where site conditions permitted and where it is believed representative conditions occur, but the full nature and extent of variations between borings and of subsurface conditions not encountered by any boring may not become evident until the course of construction. If variations become evident at any time before or during the course of construction, it will be necessary to make a re-evaluation of the conclusions and recommendations of this report and further exploration, observation, and/or testing may be required. . This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation engineering practices and makes no other warranties, either express or implied, as to the professional advice under the terms of our agreement and included in this report. The recommendations contained herein are made with the understanding that the contract documents between the owner and foundation orearthwork contractor or between the owner and the general contractor and the caisson, foundation, excavating and earthwork subcontractors, if any, shall require that the contractor certify that all work in connection with foundations, piles, caissons, compacted fills and other elements of the foundation or other support components are in place at the locations, with proper dimensions and plumb, as shown on the plans and specifications for the project.. Further, it is understood the contract documents will specify that the contractor will, upon becoming aware of apparent or latent subsurface conditions differing from those disclosed by the original soil exploration work, promptly notify the owner, both verbally to permit immediate verification of the change, and in writing, as to the nature and extent of the differing conditions and that no claim by the contractor for any conditions differing from those anticipated in the plans and specifications and disclosed by the soil exploration will be allowed under the contract unless the contractor has so notified the owner both verbally and in writing, as required above, of such changed conditions, The owner will, in turn, promptly notify this firm of the existence of such unanticipated conditions and will authorize such further exploration as may be required to properly evaluate these conditions. Recommendations made in this report as to on -site construction review by this firm will be authorized and funds and facilities for such review will be provided at the times recommended if we are to be held responsible for the design recommendations. APPENDIX E PROCEDURES REGARDING FIELD LOGS, LABORATORY DATA SHEETS AND SAMPLES In the process of obtaining and testing soil samples and preparing this report, procedures are followed that represent reasonable and accepted practice in the field of soil and foundation engineering. Specifically, field logs are prepared during performance of the drilling and sampling operations which are intended to portray essentially field occurrences, sampling locations, and other information. Samples obtained in the field are frequently subjected to additional testing and final classification in the laboratory by experienced soil engineers, and differences between the field logs and the final logs exist. The engineer preparing the report reviews the field and laboratory data, classifications and test data, and his judgment in interpreting this data, may make further changes. Samples are taken in the field, some of which are later subjected to laboratory tests, are retained in our laboratory for sixty days and are then discarded unless special disposition is requested by our client. Samples retained over a long period of time, even if sealed in jars, are subject to moisture loss which changes the apparent strength of cohesive soil generally increasing the strength from what was originally encountered in the field. Since they are then no longer representative of the moisture conditions initially encountered, an inspection of these samples should recognize this factor. Field logs and laboratory data sheets have not been included in our engineering reports because they do not represent the engineer's final opinions as to appropriate descriptions for conditions encountered in the exploration and testing work. Results of the laboratory tests are generally described in the appendices, shown on the boring logs and/or described in the extent of the report, as appropriate.
