Reference: Soil Scientist Investigation for Stormwater
Cypress Pointe
Dear Mr. Anderson.
A site investigation has been conducted for the above referenced project, located off Fennel
Road in ('aamberland County, North Carolina. The purpose of this investigation was to provide a
general characterization of the soils in the area proposed for a stormwater infiltration device,
including a determination of the depth to evidence of a seasonal high water table and estimation of
the permeability of the various soil layers. In -situ hydraulic conductivity testing was not
conducted. All soil characteristics were described in accordance with the USDA Field Book for
Describing and Sampling Soils. This report represents my professional opinion as a Licensed Soil
Scientist.
Hand -powered auger borings were advanced at five: locations as shown at Figure 1. A soil
profile description was collected at each location and is attached to this report.
At location #1, soil morphological characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table
(SHWT) were observed at 1.12 inches below surface. Infiltration rates (permeability) range from
0.8 in/hr in the sandy clay loam textured layer between 62 and 84 inches to as high as 10 in/hr in
the loamy sand textured soils observed between the surface and 18 inches below surface.
At location #2. soil niaarphological characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table
(SHWT) were observed at 110 inches below surface. Infiltration rates (permeability) range from
0.8 in/hr in the sandy clay loan textured layer between 62 and 84 inches to as high as 10 in/hr in
the loamy sand textured soils observed between the surface and 18 inches below surface.

At location #3, soil morphological characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table
(SH\VT,) were observed at 92 inches below surface. Infiltration rates (permeability) range from
0.5 in/hr in the sandy clay loam textured layer between 14 and 68 inches to as high as 8 in'hr in
the loamy sand textured soils observed between the surface and 9 inches below surface.
At location #4, soil morphological characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table
(SHWT) were observed at 86 inches below surface. Infiltration rates (permeability) range from
0.6 in/hr in the sandy clay loam textured layer between 14 and 68 inches to as high as 9 in/hr in
the loamy sand textured soils observed between the surface and 9 inches below surface.
At location 95, soil morphological characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table
(SHWT) were observed at 90 inches below surface. Infiltration rates (permeability) range from
0.5 in/hr in the sandy clay loam textured layer between 14 and 68 inches to as high as 8 in/hr in
the loamy sand textured soils observed between the surface and 9 inches below surface.
