Reference: Soil Scientist Investigation
Preliminary Site Plan for Howard Roy Weathers
Dear Mr. Weathers,
A site investigation has been conducted for the above referenced property, located on the
eastern side of Wade Stephenson Road (SR 1407), Buckhorn Township, Harnett 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.
A hand -powered auger boring was advanced in the area proposed for the infiltration
device (Figure 1) to a depth of 204 inches below ground surface. Soil morphological
characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table (SHWT) were not observed within 204
inches below surface. Infiltration rates (permeability) range from 0.2 in/hr in the clay layer
between 22 and 55 inches to as high as 2 in/hr in the loamy sand textured soils observed between
1 and 10 inches below surface. As you can see, the permeability slowed below 156 inches below
ground surface because the materials were more compact and firm. A soil profile description
was collected at location 91 and is attached to this report.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide this service and trust that you will feel free to call
on me again in the future. If you have any questions or need additional information, please
contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely
AWAI__r�
