A test pit was constructed for each bioretention cell to determine if the bottom elevation
of each bioretention cell would impact the Seasonal Highwater Table (SHWT). The bottom
elevation of the test pit for Bioretention Cell #1 was 2161.00 and the bottom elevation of the test
pit for Bioretention Cell #2 was 2149.00. Please see Exhibit 1 for the location of each test pit.
Each test pit was allowed to sit for 48 hours. The SHWT was not encountered. Please see the
images below and the attached Test Pit Report from Doug Hill.

Re: Test Pits

John,

We excavated the two test pits last week per Jacob Grieb at Mattern & Craig
instructions.

On April 16th they were dug where indicated on his plan to the depth requested. The
two pits were left open for 48 hours and no water was observed in the bottom of
either hole. The holes have been filed in and compacted. See the attached pictures.

Thank You

Doug Hill
