1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of Services
The purpose of the exploration was to evaluate the general subsurface conditions within the proposed
substation area with regard to the design and construction of the foundation systems. This report presents
our findings, conclusions and recommendations for foundation design, as well as construction
considerations for the proposed foundations.
1.2 Site Description
The proposed site is located west of Community Road approximately 2,000 feet south of the intersection
of Mt Olivet Church Road and Community Road in Lexington, North Carolina (reference "Site Vicinity Map"
within Figure 1). The 1.32 acre site is currently undeveloped with vegetation primarily consisting of pasture
grasses. Based on visual observations, the site generally slopes downward from northeast to southwest
with approximately 10 feet of relief.
1.3 Project Description
We understand that plans are to construct a substation on the property. We understand the structures will
be supported with shallow and deep foundations as well as slab foundations. No other detailed information
has been provided at this time.

2.0 EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
2.1 Field
The following methods were used to evaluate the subsurface conditions of the site. Additional descriptions
of the field exploration procedures are also presented in Appendix I. The test locations were located in the
field by a representative from our office using a Hand Held GPS. While in the field and where applicable, a
representative of the geotechnical engineer visually examined the samples obtained or subsurface material
encountered to evaluate the type of soil, soil plasticity, moisture condition, organic content, presence of
lenses and seams, colors and apparent geological origin using general guidance from "ASTM D 2488
Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual Manual Procedures)." Approximate
boring locations are shown on the attached "Boring Location Plan," Figure 1.
2.1.1 Soil Test Borings
Three soil test borings (Borings B-01 through B-03) were extended to approximately 25 feet below the
existing ground surface using a CME55OX (ATV) drill rig. Hollow -stem, continuous flight augers were used
to advance the borings into the ground. Standard Penetration Tests were performed within the soil test
borings using an automatic hammer. The Standard Penetration Test provides the Standard Penetration
Resistances (N-values) reported in blows per foot (bpf) as outlined in the Field Exploration Procedures
section located in Appendix I. Water level measurements were attempted at, and up to 1 day after, the
termination of drilling. After subsequent water level measurements were attempted, the bore holes were
backfilled with auger cuttings.
The results of the visual soil classifications for the borings, as well as field test results and N-values, are
presented on the individual "Test Boring Records," included in Appendix I. Similar soils were grouped into
strata on the records. The strata lines represent approximate boundaries between the soil types; however,
the actual transition between soil types in the field may be gradual in both the horizontal and vertical
directions.
2.2 Laboratory
Select samples of the on -site soils obtained during the field testing program were tested in the laboratory.
Tests performed included:
• Atterberg Limits, and
• Grain Size Distribution
The results of the laboratory tests performed for this study are attached in Appendix I. A brief description
of the procedures used are also presented in Appendix I.

3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITION
3.1 Site Geology
The referenced property is located in Lexington, North Carolina which is in the Piedmont Physiographic
Province. The Piedmont Province generally consists of hills and ridges which are intertwined with an
established system of draws and streams. The Piedmont Province is predominately underlain by igneous
rock (formed from molten material) and metamorphic rock (formed by heat, pressure and/or chemical
action), which were initially formed during the Precambrian and Paleozoic eras.
The residual soils encountered in this area are the product of in -place chemical weathering of rock which
was similar to the rock presently underlying the site. In areas not altered by erosion or disturbed by the
activities of man, the typical residual soil profile consists of clayey soils near the surface, where soil
weathering is more advanced, underlain by sandy silts and silty sands. The boundary between soil and
rock is not sharply defined. This transitional zone termed "partially weathered rock" is normally found
overlying the parent bedrock. Partially weathered rock is defined, for engineering purposes, as residual
material with Standard Penetration Resistances in excess of 100 blows per foot (bpf). Weathering is
facilitated by fractures, joints and by the presence of less resistant rock types. Consequently, the profile of
the partially weathered rock and hard rock is quite irregular and erratic, even over short horizontal distances.
Also, it is common to find lenses and boulders of hard rock and zones of partially weathered rock within the
soil mantle, well above the general bedrock level.
3.2 Subsurface Findings
Subsurface conditions as indicated by the borings generally consist of topsoil, underlain by residual soils.
The generalized subsurface conditions at the site are described below and are graphically depicted in
Appendix I. For more detailed soil descriptions and stratifications at a particular test location, the attached
"Test Boring Record" should be reviewed.
surrace
A topsoil or topsoil/grassmat layer approximately 2 to 4-inches thick was encountered at each boring
location. It is expected that the topsoil or topsoil/grassmat thicknesses will vary across the site and may be
greater than indicated on the Test Boring Records.
3.2.2 Residuum
Beneath the surface materials in each boring, residual soils were encountered. Residual soils are mineral
material accumulated by the in -place chemical weathering of the underlying parent rock. Beneath the topsoil
in Borings B-01 through B-03 residual soils were encountered. The residuum generally consists of firm to
very stiff sandy silts, sandy clays, and sandy high plasticity clays and medium dense to very dense silty
sands. N-values in the residuum varied between 5 and 61 bpf. Soil Test Borings B-01 through B-03, were
terminated in the residual soils at approximately 25 feet below the existing ground surface.

3.3 Subsurface Water
4 ESP
Water levels were attempted at the termination of drilling and 1 day following drilling operations. The soil
test borings were dry at the termination of drilling and 1 day after drilling.
Subsurface water levels tend to fluctuate with seasonal and climatic variations, as well as with some types
of construction operations. Therefore, water may be encountered during construction at depths not
indicated during this study.
3.4 Laboratory Test Results
Laboratory tests were performed on select samples obtained from split spoon samples. Laboratory testing
consisted of Atterberg Limits and Grain Size Analysis. A summary of the laboratory test results are
presented in Table 2.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND PRELIMIARY
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 Geotechnical Considerations
Based on the project information previously discussed, the data obtained from the field and laboratory
testing program and our analysis, the following conditions should be considered and addressed in the
proposed development and are further discussed in the following sections of this report.
• High Plasticity Clay
Our conclusions and preliminary recommendations are based on the project information previously
discussed and on the data obtained from the field and laboratory testing program. If the structural loading,
geometry or proposed structure locations are changed or significantly differ from those discussed, or if
conditions are encountered during construction that differ from those encountered by the borings, ESP
requests the opportunity to review our recommendations based on the new information and make any
necessary changes.
4.2 Site Development
4.2.1 High Plasticity Clay
Laboratory tests were performed on select samples obtained from the split spoon samples. Laboratory
testing consisted of Atterberg Limits and Grain Size Analysis. Typically, soils with a Plasticity Index (PI)
less than 30 are considered to be low to moderate plasticity material. A summary of laboratory test results
for soils classifying as high plasticity are presented below in Table 6.
Table 6 — Summary of Laboratory Test Results for High Plasticity Soil
High plasticity clays with a PI greater than 30 were not encountered in our borings. If high plasticity clay
soils with a PI greater than 30 become wet during or after construction, there may be an increase in their
volume (swelling) and/or a reduction in their strength. In addition, if these materials are in -place during
construction and subsequently dry out, there may be a decrease in their volume (shrinking) resulting in
settlement. Soils with a plasticity indices greater than 30 within the near surface (upper 2 to 3 feet) soil
profile may present an increased risk of distress to the proposed foundations, or slabs -on -grade due to
swell or shrinkage of these materials with variations in moisture content.
REPORT OF SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
PROPOSED DELIVERY STATION 3
ESP Project No. E4B-IV18.300 1 July 20, 2021
4 ESP
Foundations, slabs and/or pavements may not be sufficiently weighted to reduce the potential for swell
and/or heave, if bearing directly on high plasticity clays. If high plasticity soils with a PI greater than 30 are
encountered during construction, ESP recommends undercutting and replacing with select fill to achieve
three (3) feet of separation between stable high plasticity clay and bottom of bearing, slab and pavement
section elevations,
A thorough field evaluation should be performed by a representative of the geotechnical engineer at the
time of construction to further determine the presence of high plasticity clay soils that may adversely affect
the performance of the proposed structures and pavements.
4.2.2 Site Preparation
The entire building and pavement areas should be stripped of all topsoil, high plasticity near surface soils,
trash, debris and other organic materials to a minimum of 10 feet and 5 feet beyond the structural and
pavement limits, respectively. It has been our experience that stripping depths of topsoil may vary from the
depths recorded on the Test Boring Records due to variability between boring locations. Deeper stripping
may be required to adequately remove rootmat and stumps from wooded sites and may be dependent on
surface conditions at the time of grading, such as wetter conditions during winter months. It is often desired
by project owners to place topsoil/strippings in non-structural areas of the site, such as in over -built slopes
or buried in on -site borrow pits. If on -site topsoil disposal is considered, the geotechnical engineer should
be consulted to provide additional analysis and recommendations, as needed in this regard.
Upon completion of the stripping operations, the exposed subgrade in areas to receive fill should be
proofrolled with a loaded dump truck or similar pneumatic tired vehicle (minimum loaded weight of 20 tons)
under the observation of a representative of the geotechnical engineer. The proofrolling procedures should
consist of complete passes of the exposed areas, with half of the passes being in a direction perpendicular
to the preceding ones. After excavation of the site has been completed, the exposed subgrade in cut areas
should also be proofrolled as previously described. Any areas which deflect, rut or pump excessively during
proofrolling or fail to improve sufficiently after successive passes should be undercut to suitable soils and
replaced with structural fill.
Unsuitable soils may be encountered between the borings during site grading or excavation for foundations.
Some undercutting of soft near surface soils in various portions of the site, as well as the areas where high
plasticity clay soils are present within the upper 3 feet of subgrade or the bearing surface should be
anticipated. The extent of the undercut required should be evaluated in the field by an experienced
representative of the geotechnical engineer while monitoring construction activity. The evaluation should
consist of a comprehensive proofrolling program and thorough field evaluation during construction. After
the proofrolling operation has been completed and approved, final site grading should proceed immediately.
If construction progresses during wet weather, the proofrolling operation should be repeated with at least
one pass in each direction immediately prior to proceeding with site grading. If unstable conditions are
exposed during this operation, then undercutting should be performed.

PROPOSED DELIVERY STATION 3
ESP Project No. E4B-IV18.300 1 July 20, 2021
4.2.3 Fill Material and Placement
4 ESP
All fill used for site grading operations should consist of a clean (free of organics and debris), low plasticity
soil. The proposed fill should have a maximum dry density of at least 90 pounds per cubic foot as
determined by a Standard Proctor Moisture -Density Relationship test, ASTM D 698. All fill should be placed
in loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of its Standard
Proctor maximum dry density, with at least 100 percent achieved in the upper 12 inches. We recommend
that field density tests, including one -point Proctor verification tests, be performed on the fill as it is being
placed at a frequency determined by an experienced geotechnical engineer to verify the compaction criteria.
Any fills that may be constructed greater than 10 feet in height should be evaluated with regard to long term
settlement, consolidation and slope stability. This analysis should be requested of the geotechnical
engineer once grading plans are complete and available.
Based on the results of the soil test borings and our past experience with similar type materials, the residual
soils encountered, appear suitable for re -use as structural fill. If encountered, high plasticity clay soils may
be used in deep fill areas (more than 5 feet of fill) or in landscaped areas provided they can be manipulated
and properly compacted. As with any grading operation, moisture conditioning of the fill soils may be
required.
4.2.4 Cut and Fill Slopes
Final project slopes should be designed to be 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter. Slopes can be designed
as steep as 2 horizontal to 1 vertical; however, soil erosion, slope sloughing and slope maintenance should
be expected. If designing slopes steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical, a slope stability analysis should be
performed to verify stability of the slope. The tops and bases of all slopes should be located a minimum of
10 feet from structural and 5 feet from pavement limits. The fill slopes should be adequately compacted as
outlined within this report, and all slopes should be seeded and maintained after construction.
4.2.5 Temporary Excavations
Excavations greater than four feet in depth should be sloped or shored in accordance with local, state, and
federal regulations, including OSHA "Construction Standard for Excavations" (29 CFR Part 1926.650-652).
The contractor is usually solely responsible for site safety. This information is provided only as a service
and under no circumstances should ESP be assumed to be responsible for construction site safety.
4.2.6 Structural Fill Greater Than 10 Feet In Thickness
Any structural fills that may be constructed greater than 10 feet in height should be monitored prior to
constructing the foundations and slab -on -grade. Settlement monitoring points should be embedded at the
proposed subgrade level and monitored regularly by a licensed surveyor. Once the magnitude and rate of
settlement are within acceptable levels, then foundation and slab -on -grade construction may begin. Based
on our previous experience and soil types at the site, we anticipate the time required to reduce settlements
to an acceptable level may be on the order of 60 days. Should the constructed pad be left in place for an
extended period of time prior to construction of a building, the need and/or timeframe for settlement
monitoring may lessen.
REPORT OF SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
PROPOSED DELIVERY STATION 3
ESP Project No. E4B-IV18.300 1 July 20, 2021
4 ESP
We recommend that the settlement monitoring data be reviewed by the geotechnical engineer to determine
when foundation and slab -on -grade construction may proceed. Failure to allow adequate time for the
settlement to occur may result in excessive settlement of the buildings and subsequent damage to the
structures. Therefore, the owner is taking a risk if construction is allowed to proceed prematurely.
4.3 Foundation Support
For satisfactory performance, the foundation for any structure must satisfy two independent design criteria.
First, it must have an acceptable factor of safety against bearing failure of the foundation soils under the
maximum design loads. Second, the settlement or swell of the foundations due to consolidation or uplift of
the underlying soils should be within tolerable limits for the structures.
4.3.1 Shallow Foundation Support
The results of the soil test borings indicate that the proposed structures can be adequately supported on
shallow foundations bearing on the low -plasticity residual soils, or newly placed structural fill, provided the
site preparation and fill placement procedures outlined in this report are implemented. A net allowable
bearing pressure of up to 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf) can be used for design of the foundations. In
addition, at least three (3) feet of separation should be provided between stable high plasticity clay and
bottom of footing elevations.
Based on the general stratigraphy in the substation area, past experience with similar projects and the
anticipated magnitude of the structural loads, it is our opinion that the total and differential settlement
potentials for the building should be on the order of 1 inch and '/ inch, respectively. This conclusion is
contingent upon compliance with the site preparation and fill placement recommendations outlined in this
report.
Minimum wall and column footing dimensions of 18 and 24 inches, respectively, should be maintained to
reduce the possibility of a localized, punching -type shear failure. Exterior foundations and foundations in
unheated areas should be designed to bear at least 18 inches below finished grade for frost protection.
We recommend that the subgrade soils be observed by a representative of the geotechnical engineer prior
to foundation installation. This is to assess their suitability for foundation support and confirm their
consistency with the conditions upon which our recommendations are based.
The subgrade materials can be sensitive to moisture variations; therefore, foundation excavations should
be opened for a minimum amount of time, particularly during inclement weather. Soils exposed to moisture
variations may become highly disturbed and require undercutting prior to placing foundations.
4.3.2 Deep Foundation Support
The design considerations for the proposed drilled shaft foundations are summarized in the following tables.

4.4 Slab -On -Grade
4 ESP
The slab -on -grade foundation system can be adequately supported on the low -plasticity residual/native
soils or newly compacted fill, provided the site preparation and fill placement procedures outlined in this
report are implemented. In addition, at least three (3) feet of separation should be provided between stable
high plasticity clay and bottom of slab elevations.
Based on our experience on the subject site, we recommend a modulus of subgrade reaction, K of 100 psi
per inch be used for initial slab -on -grade design. This assumes the slab subgrade soils are reworked or
stabilized prior to slab construction. We recommend the structural engineer provide the implied slab
stresses to ESP after initial design and the modules of subgrade reaction can be modified in an interactive
process to optimize the slab -on -grade design.
Immediately prior to constructing the slab -on -grade, we recommend that the areas be proofrolled or
otherwise evaluated to detect unstable, low consistency/relative density areas or areas that may have been
exposed to wet weather or construction traffic. Areas that are found to be unstable or indicate low
consistency/relative density during the evaluation should be undercut and replaced with adequately
compacted structural fill. The evaluation should be performed by a representative of the geotechnical
engineer.
4.5 Pavements
We recommend that special care be given to providing adequate drainage away from pavement areas to
reduce infiltration of surface water to the base course and subgrade materials in these areas. If these
materials are allowed to become saturated during the life of the pavement section, then there will be a
strength reduction of the materials that could result in a reduced life of the pavement section. All water
should be routed away from the pavement areas and adequate slopes provided to maintain drainage off
site. Pavement areas should be proofrolled prior to placing structural fill and/or base course. Proofrolling
procedures are outlined in subsequent sections of this report. At least three (3) feet of separation should
be provided between stable high plasticity clay silt and bottom of pavement section elevations.

ESP Project No. E4B-IV18.300 1 July 20, 2021
5.0 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Drainage
Soil strength and settlement potential is highly dependent upon the moisture condition of the supportive
soil. Soil characteristics can change dramatically when moisture conditions change. As such, roadways,
structures and surrounding grades should be properly designed and constructed to properly control water
(surface and subsurface). Building pads should be designed to shed surface water prior to building
construction. Grades surrounding structures should be adequately sloped away from the structure to
promote positive drainage and prevent water from ponding near or against the structure. Swales and/or
storm drainage structures should be constructed to collect and remove all surface water run-off. Foundation
drains should be designed and constructed to properly protect foundations from changing moisture conditions.
Foundation drains constructed should be properly daylighted or connected to storm drain structures to remove
all water from foundation areas. Any subsurface water that may rise near structural grades should be controlled
by adequately constructed subsurface drainage mechanisms.

6.0 LIMITATIONS of REPORT
This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practice
with regard to the specific conditions and requirements of this site. The conclusions and preliminary
recommendations contained in this report were based on the applicable standards of our practice in this
geographic area at the time this report was prepared. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
The analysis and preliminary recommendations submitted herein are based, in part, upon the data obtained
from the subsurface exploration. The nature and extent of variations between the borings will not be known
until construction is underway. If variations appear evident, then we request the opportunity to re-evaluate
the recommendations of this report. In the event that any changes in the nature, design, or location of the
structures are planned, the conclusions and preliminary recommendations contained in this report will not
be considered valid unless the changes are reviewed and conclusions modified or verified in writing by
ESP.
In order to verify that earthwork and foundation preliminary recommendations are properly interpreted and
implemented, we recommend that ESP be provided the opportunity to review the final plans and
specifications. Any concerns observed will be brought to our client's attention in writing.
Our conclusions and preliminary recommendations are based on the project information previously
discussed and on the data obtained from the field and laboratory testing program. If the structural loading,
geometry or proposed structure locations are changed or significantly differ from those discussed, or if
conditions are encountered during construction that differ from those encountered by the borings, ESP

FIELD EXPLORATION
Soil Test Boring: Three (3) soil test borings were drilled at the approximate locations shown on the
attached Boring Location Plan, Figure 1. Soil sampling and penetration testing were performed using
general guidance from ASTM D 1586.
The borings were advanced with hollow -stem augers and, at standard intervals, soil samples were obtained
with a standard 1.4-inch I.D., 2-inch O.D., split -tube sampler. The sampler was first seated six (6) inches to
penetrate any loose cuttings, then driven an additional foot with blows of a 140-pound hammer falling 30
inches with the exception of penetration restrictions. The sum of the last foot of hammer blows is designated
the "Standard Penetration Resistance." Standard Penetration Tests were performed within the soil test
borings utilizing an automatic hammer attached to the referenced drill rig(s) utilized in this exploration. The
Standard Penetration Test values shown on the "Test Boring Records" have not been corrected for
theoretical energy or depths adjustments. When properly evaluated, the Standard Penetration Resistances
provide an index to soil strength, relative density, and ability to support foundations.
Select portions of each soil sample were placed in sealed containers and taken to our office. The samples
were examined by a representative of the geotechnical engineer for classification. Test Boring Records are
attached showing the soil descriptions and Standard Penetration Resistances.
4 ESP
LABORATORY PROCEDURES
Soil Plasticity Tests (Atterberg Limits Test): Select samples were identified for Atterberg Limits testing
to determine the soil's plasticity characteristics. This test was conducted using general guidance from ASTM
D 4318. The Plasticity Index (PI) is representative of this characteristic and is determined utilizing the Liquid
Limit (LL) and the Plastic Limit (PL). The Liquid Limit is the moisture content at which the soil will flow as a
heavy viscous. The Plastic Limit is the moisture content at which the soil transitions between the plastic
and semi -solid states. The data obtained is presented on the attached Atterberg Limits' Results sheet.
Grain Size Test: Grain size tests were performed to determine the particle size and distribution of the
samples tested. The grain size distribution of soils coarser than a No. 200 sieve was determined by passing
the samples through a set of nested sieves. This test was conducted using general guidance from ASTM
D 421 and 422. The results are presented on the attached Grain Size Distribution Sheets.

provide an index for estimating soil strength and relative density.
Kessler Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test Data — The cone point is driven using a 17.6-pound weight falling 22.6 inches. The
total penetration for a given number of blows is measured and recorded in mm/blow as specified in ASTM D 6951. When properly
evaluated, the penetrometer test result can be used to describe soil stiffness and estimate an in -situ CBR strength from an appropriate
correlation chart.
REC - Total length of rock recovered in the core barrel divided by the total length of the core run times 100 (expressed as a

Attention: Mr. Matthew J. Amick
Reference: Stormwater Control Measures (SCM) Soil Testing
Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT) Evaluation
Proposed SCM
Community Road Substation — Davidson County, N.C.
Willcox & Mabe Soil Solutions, PLLC Project No. 16-06; Phase: 71
Dear Mr. Amick:
Willcox & Mabe Soil Solutions, PLLC (WMSS) has conducted Stormwater Control
Measures (SCM) Soil Testing in accordance with ESP Associates, Inc. (ESP) Subcontract
Agreement dated January 8, 2021, and WMSS Subcontract Work Authorization No. 16-
21 dated June 25, 2021. The SCM Soil Testing was performed to provide information for
technical assistance with the design of a proposed SCM. A soil scientist investigation
was conducted to evaluate the soil properties at one location being considered for a
possible SCM, to determine suitability for stormwater management systems. The soil
scientist investigation was conducted to evaluate: seasonal high water table (SHWT)
elevations below existing ground surface. A "Site Plan" was provided to WMSS by ESP
that identified relative site features and potential location for the proposed SCM.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The area evaluated was located within the area associated with a planned SCM. The
SCM is planned in conjunction with proposed site improvements associated with the
Community Road Substation site in Davidson County, North Carolina. The site is
located southwest of Community Road, southeast of the intersection of Community Road
and Mt. Olivet Church Road (Figure 1). Proposed SCM, boring location B-03 is within
the edge of an open field within the proposed development area (Figure 2).
Use of on -site stormwater management systems, is being considered to comply with
stormwater management requirements. The use of stormwater SCMs is subject to the
suitability of site soils and regulatory approval. Regulatory guidance on requirements for
permitting of stormwater SCMs is provided in the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
Willcox & Mabe Soil Solutions, PLLC / 7231 B Summerfield Road / Summerfield, NC 27358 / Rob 336.339.9128 or

SHWT Evaluation WMSS Project No. 16-06; Phase: 71
Community Road Substation June 25, 2021
(DEMLR) — Stormwater Design Manual (NCDEQ-DEMLR-SDM), (Revised, 2017).
The NCDEQ-DEMLR-SDM requires that the SHWT shall be taken into consideration for
the design of most SCMs.
WMSS conducted an evaluation of the soils through the review of a drill rig boring,
within the area identified on a base map provided by ESP, and located in the field by
ESP. Maps were prepared using Arcview 10.8 a Geographic Information System (GIS).
Base maps were generated using information from the ESRI Web site and maps provided
by ESP (Figures 1 and 2).
FINDINGS
Seasonal High Water Table Evaluation
The SHWT evaluation was performed on June 25, 2021 by evaluating one drill rig boring
(Location B-03), to a depth of approximately 26 feet below the existing ground surface
(bgs) (Figure 2). The soils were evaluated under the guidance of a NC Licensed Soil
Scientist for evidence of seasonal high water table influence. This evaluation involved
observing the actual moisture content in the soil and observing the matrix and mottle
colors. Depending on the soil texture, the soil color will indicate processes that are driven
by SHWT fluctuations such as iron reduction and oxidation and organic matter staining.
Location B-03 was observed to consist of sandy loam texture in the upper soil horizon, to
sandy clay loam texture in the subsurface horizons. B-03 transitioned into massive
structure (saprolite) at approximately 28 inches bgs that consisted of sandy loam texture
to 312 inches bgs where the boring was terminated. Evidence of a SHWT was observed
at a depth of approximately 264 inches bgs and an apparent water table (AWT) was
observed below the SHWT. Reference attached Figure 2 for the approximate SHWT test
location, and Table 1 and the attached soil profile description for the approximated
SHWT depth.
Please note that SHWT evaluations are based on secondary evidence and not on direct
groundwater level measurements. Groundwater levels fluctuate for numerous reasons
and these findings do not indicate that groundwater levels have not or will not rise above
the noted depths.

CONCLUSIONS
Based upon our findings associated with the location evaluated, the SHWT was identified
at approximately 264 inches bgs. These findings should be taken into careful
consideration when designing an appropriate SCM for the proposed location.
