RE: Seasonal high-water table (SHWT) determination for proposed stormwater devices
(BMP) for Lynn Ridge Development adjacent to Lipscomb Road in Angier, NC
Mr. Temple;
Adams Soil Consulting (ASC) performed a site evaluation per your request on the above
referenced location. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the depth to the seasonal high-
water table for a stormwater devices (swales). Two locations were evaluated at each proposed
swale location. A SHWT determination was made for the upper (higher elevation) portion of the
Swale and one for the end (lower elevation) portion of the swale.
The seasonal high-water table determination was made using soil indicators taken from profile
descriptions made at the site. The soil profile descriptions were made from hand auger borings.
The soil was most similar to the "Norfolk" soil series transitioning to the "Bibb" series in the
wetland areas. The Norfolk series is well drained soil found in the Coastal Plain region of North
Carolina. The clay mineralogy found in the subsoil was not considered to be expansive in nature
and or was considered to have a relatively low shrink/swell potential.
The seasonal high-water table determinations are summarized in the table below.

It should be noted that the seasonal high-water table determinations were made based on observed
soil indicators and were not measured or monitored. The actual water table may vary from soil
indicators. This report represents the professional opinion of the evaluating scientist of the seasonal
high-water table depth for design purposes.
