Mr. Siano, \
Please forward to Mr. Strickland as needed.
It has been a few months since we spoke in regards to the Arby's Restaurant located on Shipyard Blvd. Will you please
give me an update on the status of the noted deficiencies? Namely, the engineer's certification has not been received
by DWQ.'Additionally, as we have discussed, the ownership of the permit must be updated. I know you have-not been
involved since the original inspection back in February 2009, but this project must be updated.
Please send in a Plan of Action to bring this permit into compliance by November 1, 2010, to avoid a Notice of Violation
and possible enforcement.
I have listed below the weblinks for the state stormwater permit renewal form and a transfer of ownership form.
The permit number is SW8 991224. The location we have listed is 1502 Shipyard Blvd., Wilmington, NC in New Hanover
County. The type of system is an infiltration basin. If you have questions about the renewal form, let me know.
The current Permittee listed for this project is Mr. Doug Potter, President of RTM SC, Inc. I imagine this is not correct as
any mail I have sent to this person has been returned. The transfer of ownership will ask for a signature from the
current Permittee, not to worry — if that person is not available, just so note it on the form and sign as the new
Permittee.

access road is part of the project and is considered under a common plan of development.
According to the proposed grading, some runoff is allowed to escape from the access road.
The application and revised calculations still use a drainage area of 1.2 acres, which is only
the area within the property boundaries. You need to include the other half of the access
easement that is not on the Arby's property in the drainage area, and account for ALL of the
paved area within the entire access easement in the pond's design, Please provide revised

with the numbered drainage areas does not provide the boundary lines, so I am unable to
confirm the total drainage area to the system.
As previously requested, please revise page 1 of the supplement form with the new volumes,
areas, etc. Also, since the impervious area has increased, you will need to provide a new page
2 of the application.
Please understand that everything has to match up between the plans, the application and the
calculations.

Linda,
Please see attached letter by PSI dated March 1, 2000 stating the SHWT. Depth was
determined by providing an additional boring and soil testing in the area of the proposed
detention pond. The depth found caused us to raise the bottom elevation of the pond by 1 foot.
See the attached cross-section that depicts the pond section in relation to the SHWT.

Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) has performed a supplemental soil test boring in the
area of the proposed detention pond at the above referenced project site. The purpose of the
supplemental boring was to facilitate examination of the soils for features indicating the
Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT) depthleievation.
The supplemental boring was performed to a depth of 12 feet. Continuous split -spoon
sampling of the soils was performed in the boring. Each soil sample retrieved was examined
for features indicating groundwater influence, such as a mottled or gleyed appearance.
Our examination of the soils revealed that the soils to a depth of approximately 6% feet
consisted of clean, fine sand having a tan to brown color. Beginning at a depth of 6112 feet and
extending to the boring termination depth of 12 feet, the soils consisted of clean, fine to
medium grained sand having alight gray color. No groundwater was encountered in the
boring, but the soils were judged to be damp below a depth of approximately 8 feet.
Based on the relatively abrupt change to a gray color of the soils, indicating a water induced
deoxidizing environment, we interpret the SHWT elevation to be at a depth of 6Y2 feet below
the existing ground surface.
PSI appreciates the opportunity to serve as your geotechnical consultant on this project. Please
do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or need additional information.
Respectfully submitted,

Just because we, the State, have visited the site and did not encounter any groundwater, does
not mean that the developer doesn't have to do the required work to determine the SHWT. If this
system fails due to a high water table, and there is no documentation from the engineer regarding
the SHWT elevation, then the developer would argue that "the State said" that they had no concern
about the SHWT, and takes on the liability for allowing this system in the first place.
On February 22, 2000, I sent a fax to Ms. Valerie Merkel of the RTM Restaurant Group,
requesting that the original letter of signature authorization be submitted. I have not received it yet.

The determination of the Seasonal High Water table elevation is based on an examination
of the soils at the site, not a 20 year old county soil survey map. If borings were done, an
examination of those borings and any mottling of the soil present would provide an indication as to
the depth of the SHWT.
An. inconclusive determination, as made by Mr. Pegues, is not acceptable. You need to either
state that the SHWT elevation is at least T below the proposed bottom of the system, or that it was

Subject: ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT AND
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Stormwater Project No. SW8 991224
Arby's Restaurant
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Jackson:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for Arby's
Restaurant on December 20, 2000. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the
application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
I. Delineate all wetlands on site, or note on the plans that none exist.
2. Groundwater is not the same as the Seasonal High Water Table. The SHWT elevation is
determined by the mottling and mineral leaching seen in the soil. Please have the geotechnical
engineer make a recommendation as to the approximate SHWT elevation.
The 50 year, 24 hour storm event will dump about 9 inches of rain around here, but the
supplement indicates that the design storm is only 2.65". According to the calculations, the 10
year, 6 hour storm will result in 2.65" of runoff. I think the justification for not providing the
bypass based on treating the runoff from a 50 year storm needs to be revised to a 10 year storm.
The SCS method is not recommended for use by the State since it generally results in lower
volumes. Please see the enclosed volume calculation method used by the State, which is shown
in the BMP document as well.
4. For small numbers Iike these, please report them in square feet on the application.
5. The proposed amounts of BUA do not match up on the application. The upper boxes of Section
III, Part 6 lists the total proposed BUA as .85 acres, but the lower portion total is 1.2 acres.
Please clarify. The total BUA from the lower boxes is transferred to the upper boxes. Built -upon
area does not include grassed landscaped areas, but it will include the turfstone parking area.
6. The application indicates that there are .06 acres of existing impervious. What and where is this
existing impervious area? Please show on the plans.
Is RTMSC Coastal Region a Corporation, Partnership, LLC, etc.? Please report on the
application.

January 28, 2000
Stormwater Project No. SW8 991224
---------------------------------------------
The rules are rather inflexible when it comes to the bypassing of runoff from proposed
pavement. The plans submitted indicate that a portion of the access road to this project will not
be collected and treated in the basin. All impervious surfaces associated with the project, onsite
and offsite, must be treated. Even though a portion of the access drive is not located on your
property, it is part of the project and must be collected and treated in the basin. Since this area
has not been accounted for, please revise the application and calculations.
-/' 9. NCAC 2H.1003 (e) provides the rules on who can sign a permit application. Only the president
or vice president of the company (Arby's) can sign it. If someone other than the aforementioned
persons signs the application, a signed letter of authorization from one of the aforementioned
persons must accompany the application.
10. Based on the survey map provided, the runoff from the existing pavement south of the proposed
turfstone parking area appears to drain toward this new project. Since this site is using a Swale
to collect runoff from the proposed pavement, and direct it into the infiltration area, I have to
ask where the runoff from the existing pavement is going. If it enters the new Swale and cannot
be routed around the proposed basin, the application will need to be revised to address this area.
If this runoff cannot be routed around, and is indeed entering the proposed basin, please provide
a delineation of the entire offsite drainage area that contributes runoff, and account for it in the
blank in Section III, Part 6 of the application labelled "Offsite" area. If the runoff is to be routed
around the basin, please show on the plans how this will be accomplished. If the runoff from
the existing parking area does not enter this system, please show any existing drainage structures
on the plans.
Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review. The
requested information should be received by this Office prior tq February 28, 2000, or the application will be
returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the
application fee.
If you need additional time to submit the information, please mail or fax your request for a time
extension to the Division at the address and fax number at the bottom of this letter. The request trust indicate
the date by which you expect to submit the required information. The Division is allowed 90 days from
the receipt of a completed application to issue the permit.
The construction of any impervious surfaces, other than a construction entrance under an approved
Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan, is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and is subject to enforcement action
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A.
Please reference the State assigned project number on all correspondence. Any original documents that
need to be revised have been sent to the engineer or agent. All original documents must be returned or new
originals must be provided. Copies are not acceptable. If you have any questions concerning this matter please
feel free to call me at [phone].

RE. Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT)
Proposed Arbys Restaurant
DWO Stormwater Project No. SW8 991224
1502 Shipyard Blvd
Wilmington, NC
DSA Project No. 5381-029
Dear Linda,
1 am in receipt of your fax dated 2-22-00 in response to the information I faxed to you on 2-21-00
regarding your comment concerning the SHWT for this site. Based upon review by our staff and PSI,
the Geotechnical engineers for this project, the SHWT for this site has not been found.
Therefore, per your fax, I am providing along with this letter, excerpts of the Geotechnical report that
will indicate the locations and findings of the borings taken on this lot. This information will indicate
that subsurface water was encountered at an elevation at least 9 feet below existing conditions.
This corresponds to a subsurface water elevation of 51.0'. Arbys site will utilize some fill to establish
desired grades and elevations for the building and associated parking lot The exception being the
excavation for the proposed onsite pond. The bottom elevation of this pond is designed at an
elevation of 54.0' placing the subsurface water elevation at least 3 feet below the bottom of the
pond. Likewise, the boring logs and report narrative do not mention or make reference to soil
mottling. Boring B-7 indicates this portion of the lot has possibly received fill previously in the
amount of approximately 1.5 feet.
Linda, you have already stated that you have no concerns about the SHWT becoming an issue for
this project. We have made our best efforts to satisfy this comment. I urgently need to reissue all of
our revised and supplemental information to your office to get this project review completed within
the next 30 days as we discussed. Please let me know if there is anything else that you will need to
address this issue as soon as possible. I appreciate your assistance with the development of this
project and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Discussion of Seasonal High Water Table
Proposed Arby's Restaurant
Shipyard Boulevard
Wilmington, North Carolina
PSI Project 458-95015
Dear Mr_ Piansay_
This letter is issued in response to your faxed request on February 2, 2000 for
information regarding the seasonal high water level at the above referenced project
site. Information regarding groundwater encountered in our test borings performed at
the site was previously provided in our Geotechnical Engineering Services Report
dated April 9, 1999. In our report we noted that groundwater was encountered at a
depth ,of 9 feet in 2 of the 9 borings, which were drilled in late March of 1999.
In response to your recent request, we have subsequently reviewed the Soil Survey
for New Hanover County, North Carolina for information regarding the Seasonal High
Water Table (SHWT). We are attaching a copy of the Soil Survey map sheet
encompassing the project site with this letter. Based on our interpretation of the soil
maps, the site is located in a unit area identified as Urban Land (Ur). According to
the Soil Survey, "Urban land consists of areas where the original soil has been cut,
filled, graded, or paved so that most soil properties have been altered to the extent
that a soil series is not recognized". Such areas are typically developed with
buildings. pavements, etc. so that the ground surface is principally covered up. As a
result, the Soil Survey does not provide any information regarding the SHWT in this
area.
Two soil series adjoin the Urban Land unit: 1) Baymeade (Be) and 2) Wakulle (Wa).
Since the line differentiating these two soil series does not cross the Urban Land unit,
we can not discern which soil series was likely to be representative for the site area
prior to its development. The Baymeade series is reported to have a SHWT at a
depth of 4 to 5 feet during the months of December to April. The Wakulla series is
reported to have a SHWT deeper than 6 feet, with no time frame being provided.

Shipyard Boulevard
Wilmington, North Carolina
PSI Project 458-95015
Dear Mr. Jackson:
Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) is pleased to submit this geotechnical engineering
services report for the above referenced project. Included in this report are the results of the
exploration and our recommendations concerning general site development and the design and
construction of foundations, floor slabs, and pavements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The planned development consists of a one-story, wood -frame building having a footprint area of
about 3,200 square feet. The building will be supported on a monolithic "turn -down" slab
foundation. Structural loads on the building consist of 3-kip column loads and 840 pound per lineal
foot maximum wall loads. Traffic loads for the project include an AASHTO design load of 5 18-
kip ESALs per day, with a service life of 20 years.
The site for the proposed development was grassed with sparse mature pine trees at the time of our
field operations. The site was bounded by existing roads to the north and east and by development
to the west and south. Ground surface topography at the site was nearly level, with site grades
varying less than 2 vertical feet.
The borings performed during this exploration encountered topsoil, possible fill (about 1'/z feet) in
boring B-7, and native soils beneath. The possible fill and native soils consisted of poorly graded
sands having SPT resistances on the order of 3 to 14 blows per foot., Groundwater was encountered
,,in borings B-1 and B-2 at a depth of 9 feet below the ground surface.
Based on the results of the subsurface exploration and the information in the Architectural and Civil
Engineering Drawings provided to us, we recommend supporting the proposed buildings using

conventional shallow foundations and on -grade floor slabs. The site should be proof -compacted
prior to beginning foundation and pavement construction to consolidate the upper loose soils at the
site.
Foundations may be designed for an allowable bearing capacity of 2,000 pounds per square foot.
Minimum lateral foundation dimensions should be 24 inches and 12 inches for column and wall
foundations, respectively, with a minimum bearing depth of 18 inches. On -grade slabs for the
building may be designed using a subgrade-modulus of 50 pei, and should be underlain by a
minimum 4 inches of "clean" granular materials.
All flexible pavement sections for this project should consist of 1 inch asphalt wearing course, 2
inches asphalt binder course, and 6 inches of Aggregate Base Course. Rigid pavements should
consist of 6 inches of reinforced concrete over 4 inches ABC.
PSI cannot be responsible for the interpretation or implementation of this report by others. PSI
should be retained to perform services sufficient to assure that the recommendations presented in
this report have been properly interpreted and implemented.
PROJECT INFORMATION
Project Authorization
Our services have been performed in accordance with PSI Proposal 451-9010 dated March 17,
1999. Authorization to perform our services was provided by issuance of RTM's Purchase Order
#NF100 dated March 18, 1999, which referenced our proposal.
Project Location and Description
The project site is located on the south side of Shipyard Boulevard, between 17"' Avenue and New
Kirk Boulevard in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The site is bounded to the
north by Shipyard Boulevard, to the east by New Kirk Boulevard, to the west by an existing
Wendy's restaurant, and to the south by the Shipyard retail shopping center.
Information concerning the proposed development was provided on a set of Architectural Drawings
for the project by Mr. Jackson, and on information from Charles McCann & Associates, the project
structural engineer. The proposed development will consist of a new one-story restaurant facility
having a total area of approximately '3,200 square feet. The proposed building will consist of a
wood -framed structure, supported on a concrete floor slab. This slab will have thickened areas at
the edges and at column locations, and is commonly referred to as a "turn -down" slab. Structural
loading information was provided by Mr. Keith Seagraves of Charles McCann & Associates, and
consist of maximum isolated column loads on the order of 3 kips and maximum wall loads no
greater than 840 pounds per linear foot.

Paved parking and driveway areas are also planned around the proposed building. The
Architectural Drawings provided to us indicate a asphalt pavement section consisting of 1 inch
asphalt surface course, 2 inches asphalt binder, and 6 inches of crushed stone materials. Rigid
pavement -is proposed to consist of 6 inches of concrete with welded wire mesh, underlain by 6
inches of crushed stone materials.
Traffic loading information for this project site was not available at the time of this report. For the
purposes of providing pavement section recommendations, we have assumed a 18-kip Equivalent
Single Axle Load (ESAL) of 5 per day (AASHTQ minimum loading) and a design life of 20 years.
This minimum traffic loading corresponds to about 1,500 vehicles per day (4 kips gross weight),
one delivery truck per day (24 kips gross weight), and 2 tandem -axle garbage trucks per week (60
kips gross weight).
Based on the existing site grades and our understanding of the proposed development, less than 1
foot of mass excavation and/or structural fill placement will be required to achieve finished
subgrade elevations at the site.
The site plan provided with this report was reproduced from a plan provided by Mr. Jackson. The
recommendations provided in this report are based on this building location. If any of the noted
information or assumptions are incorrect or have changed, please inform PSI so that we may amend
the recommendations presented in this report, if appropriate or necessary.
Purpose and Scope of Services
The purpose of this exploration was to evaluate subsurface conditions at the site and to provide
recommendations regarding foundation design, floor slab design, pavement design, and general site
development for the proposed construction. The scope of the exploration and analysis included the
following:
• We performed a site reconnaissance.
• We contacted appropriate authorities to identify underground utilities at the site.
• We performed 2 soil test borings in the proposed building area and 7 soil test borings in
proposed pavement areas, and prepared Boring Records for each boring describing the
types of soil encountered and other pertinent information.
• We conducted a geotechnical engineering evaluation of the available data to provide
recommendations regarding foundation type, including allowable foundation bearing
pressure and estimated settlements, floor slab design, flexible and rigid pavement
design, and construction considerations such as subgrade preparation, excavation
characteristics and fill placement at the site.
• We prepared an engineering report presenting data, soil boring records, observations
and recommendations.
Discussion of the field and laboratory procedures utilized in this exploration is presented in
Appendix C of this report.

The scope of services did not include an environmental assessment for determining the presence or
absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, bedrock, surface water,
groundwater, or air, on or -below or around this.site. Any.statements in this report or on the boring _
logs regarding odors, colors, unusual or suspicious items or conditions are strictly for the
information of the client. It is recommended that such an assessment -be performed prior to
development.
SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Site Conditions
At the time of our field operations, the site was vegetated with grass and sgveral mature pine trees.
Ground surface topography at the site was nearly level, with vertical relief at the site visually
judged to be on the order of 2 feet.
No paint markings were observed in the building or pavement areas of the site, which would
indicate the presence of underground utility lines at the site.
Subsurface Conditions
Subsurface conditions were evaluated by drilling five soil test borings at the site using a Mobile
B-56 truck -mounted drill rig at the locations indicated on the Boring Location Plan presented in
Appendix A. The borings were located in the field by PSI representatives by measuring
distances and approximating angles from known site reference points.
The following subsurface description is of a generalized nature, provided to highlight the major
soil strata encountered. The Boring Records should be reviewed for specific information as to
individual boring locations. The stratifications shown on the Boring Records represent the
conditions only at the actual boring locations. Variations may occur and should be expected
between boring locations. The stratifications represent the approximate boundary between
subsurface materials and the transition may be gradual.
Topsoil was encountered in all of the test borings to depths of about 2 to 3 inches. Below the
topsoil in boring B-7, soils judged to be possible fill materials were encountered to a depth of about
1'/2 feet below the existing ground surface. The possible fill materials were classified as a fine sand
containing traces of gravel,' having a Standard .Penetration Test (SPT) resistance on the order of 7
blows per foot (bpo.
Below the possible fill in boring B-7, and beneath the topsoil in the remaining borings, undisturbed
natural soils native to the Coastal Plain Geophysical Province were encountered. The native soils
generally consisted of very loose to medium dense poorly graded sands, having SPT resistances
ranging from 3 to 14 bpf.

Groundwater Information
Groundwater was encountered in borings B-1 and B-2 at a depth of abo feet below the exisitng,
ground surface at the time of drilling. For safety reasons, the borings were backfilled immediately
after drilling.
Normal groundwater levels will fluctuate with seasonal variations. We recommend that the
Contractor determine the actual groundwater levels at the time of construction to determine
groundwater impact on the construction procedures.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of our field exploration, analysis, and our understanding of the proposed
development, we believe that the proposed restaurant may be supported on conventional shallow
soil -bearing foundations after appropriate site preparation, as described in this report. The
following sections address the specifics of our recommendations.
Site Preparation
Initial site preparation procedures should include removal of all existing trees, grass, topsoil, and
any other unsuitable materials from within the construction area. Although not encountered at
this site, any debris- or organic -laden soils encountered during sitework need to be completely
removed- within the building footprint, regardless of their apparent quality or consistency. These
unsuitable soils likewise should be removed from the upper 3 feet of pavement subgrades.
As stated earlier in this report, no underground utility lines were identified which could impact
construction of this project. However, private service lines or unidentified utility lines may be
encountered during site grading and/or new utility line construction. If encountered, removal ,or
relocation of existing underground utilities should be completed prior to commencement of
construction. If not removed, any underground utility pipes greater than 4 inches in diameter
should be filled with flowable concrete grout, while the ends of utility pipes less than 4 inches in
diameter may be plugged with concrete to prevent the inadvertent introduction of fluids into the
construction area. All utility excavations should be backfilied with controlled, compacted fill as
outlined in this report.
.The test borings indicated the presence of very loose sands at the ground -surface which extend to
depths of about 3 ,feet below the existing ground surface. For this reason, we recommend that the
site be proof -compacted with a vibratory smooth -drum compactor before new fill placement and
after mass excavation to achieve subgrade elevations.
The proof -compaction should be performed until a density of at least 98 percent of the standard
Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D-698) is achieved in the upper 3 feet of subgrade soils.

A representative of PSI should be present during proof -compaction to document that the
specified compaction levels are being achieved. Soils observed to pump or deflect will require
removal and replacement prior to construction. Recommendations for removal should be
determined by a representative of the Geotechnical Engineer at the time of construction.
During site preparation, burn pits, trash pits or other isolated areas of disposal may be
encountered. It is not uncommon for such buried material to occur outside the boring locations.
Any such material encountered during sitework should be excavated and removed from_the site.
Fill Placement and Compaction
Materials selected for use as structural fill should not contain more than five (5) percent byV1
weight of organic matter, or any waste construction debris and other deleterious materials. Fill
materials should meet the following characteristics:
•Liquid Limit <50
*Plasticity Index<30 f
*Maximum Dry Density (ASTM D-698)>100
•Maximum Particle Size of 3 inches or less ./
We recommend that proposed fill material be evaluated prior to beginning carthwork to assess
whether or not it meets the above criteria. Based on the visual classification of the soils found -in
the borings, the native soils should be suitable for reuse as fill. Routine adjustment of the
moisture content will generally be necessary to allow compaction in accordance with project
specifications.
The moisture content of fill soils at the time of placement and compaction should generally be
i within two (2) percentage points of their optimum moisture content, as determined by the
standard Proctor test (ASTM D-698). Soils having higher natural moisture contents than that of
the standard Proctor optimum moisture content will need drying prior to compaction.
Fill material in "mass" fill areas should be placed in individual lifts of 8 inches or less loos
measurement. Compaction should be accomplished using sheepsfoot-type equipment for fine-
grained (silt or clay) soils, or using smooth -drum rollers for sands. Within small excavations such
as in utility trenches, around manholes, or behind retaining walls, we recommend the use of
smaller, hand or remote -guided equipment. A loose lift thickness of 4 inches is recommended
when using such equipment. /
Density.testing should be performed on each lift of fill. A minimum of 3 tests per lift of fill /
should be performed by an experienced engineering technician under the direction of a
geoteclinical engineer. We recommend that all structural fill be compacted to a minimum of 98
percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density.

Federal Excavation Regulations
In Federal Register Volume 54, No. 209 (October, 1989), the United States Department of Labor,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) amended its "Construction Standards
for Excavations, 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P." This document was issued to better insure the
safety of workmen entering trenches or excavations. It is mandated by this federal regulation
that all excavations, whether they be utility trenches, basement excavations, or -footing
excavations, be constructed in accordance with the revised OSHA guidelines. It 'is our
understanding that these regulations are being strictly enforced and if they are not closely
followed, the.owner and the contractor could be liable for substantial penalties.
The contractor is solely responsible for designing and constructing stable„ temporary excavations
and should shore, slope, or bench the sides of the excavations as required to maintain stability of
both the excavation sides and bottom. The contractor's responsible person, as defined in 29 CFR
Part 1926, should evaluate the soil exposed in the excavations as part of the contractor's safety
procedures. In no case should slope height, slope inclination, or excavation depth, including
utility trench excavation depth, exceed those specified in local, state, and federal safety
regulations.
We are providing this information solely as a service to our client. PSI is not assuming
responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor's activities; such responsibility is not
being implied and should not be inferred.
Foundation Recommendations
After appropriate site preparation and new fill placement, the proposed structure may be supported
on the proposed turn -down, monolithic slab foundation. We recommend that the foundations be
deisgned for a maximum allowable bearing capacity of 2,000 pounds per square foot.
Individual column footings (i.e., thickened section) should have a minimum lateral dimension of 24
inches, and continuous wall foundations should have a minimum dimension of 12 inches. Based on
review of Figure 1804.1 of the 1994 Standard Building Code (Revised 1996), the average annual
frost depth for South Carolina is 2 inches. However, we recommend a minimum embedment depth
of 18 inches to reduce the potential for developing localized shear failure under the footings.
The recommended soil bearing capacity given includes a factor of safety of at least 3.0 against
shear failure. We estimate maximum total foundation settlements will be less than one inch.
Furthermore, differential settlements are expected to be approximately '/2 inch or less over 30
feet.
Evaluation of the footing bearing surfaces needs to be performed so that the expected bearing
soils are present at and immediately below the bearing surface. Evaluations should include the

RTAf Atlantic Coast Region
PSI Project 458-95015

use of hand auger borings, dynamic cone penetrometer (ASTM STP-399), and/or probing.
Evaluations should be performed prior to placement of reinforcement and concrete. Footing
excavations should be free of loose soils, ponded water, and debris at the time of excavation and
concrete placement. If loose soils are encountered at footing or bearing strata depth, PSI will
need to be notified immediately to review the recommendations presented herein.
After opening, foundation bearing surface evaluations should be performed and concrete placed as
quickly as possible to avoid exposure of the footing bottoms to changes in moisture content. If it is
required that foundation excavations be left open for more than one day, they should be protdcted to
reduce evaporation or entry of moisture.
Floor Slab Recommendations
On -grade floor slabs, underlain by granular materials and supported by properly compacted fill,
may be used for this structure. We recommend that a subgrade modulus of 50 pei be used in floor
slab design calculations. A minimum 4-inch thick layer of granular materials, such as No. 57 stone
or "clean" sand, should be placed beneath the floor slab to provide an all-weather working surface.
The floor slab should be jointed in accordance with ACI specifications to reduce cracking resulting
from any differential movement and shrinkage.
Due to the lack of shallow groundwater at this site, an impermeable vapor barrier will not be
required for geotechnical purposes. The final decision to use a vapor barrier, however, is left to
the owner and designers. Ifincluded, we recommend that 10-mil thick polyethylene sheeting,
Moistop; or Visqueen be placed between the soil subgrade and granular materials as a vapor
barrier.
The soil subgrade in the area of concrete slab -on -grade support is often disturbed during
foundation and superstructure construction. We recommend that floor slab subgrades be
evaluated by a representative of PSI immediately prior to placing the under slab materials for
floor slab construction. If low consistency soils are encountered which cannot be adequately
densified in place, such soils should be removed and replaced with well -compacted fill material
or with well -compacted granular materials.
Pavement Design Recommendations
Our recommendations pertaining to flexible and rigid pavement sections have been based on the
traffic loading conditions presented in the Project Information section of this report. We have also
assumed a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of 6.0 for the soils encountered during this
exploration. Based on the provided design parameters, the AASI-1TO flexible and rigid pavement
design methods, and a design life of 20 years, we recommend the following minimum flexible
pavement section for all areas of this site:

Rigid pavement sections. merit consideration for areas to receive relatively highly concentrated -
sustained•loads such as dumpster pads, loading areas and storage bins. The rigid pavement section
should be sized to hold the full length and width of the garbage tnick as well as the dumpster.
A corresponding value of 50 pci has been used for the modulus of subgrade reaction in the rigid
pavement design. We recommend a concrete pavement thickness of 6 inches, reinforced with
welded wire mesh, and underlain by 4 inches of ABC stone.
The concrete used for rigid pavement should have a minimum 28 day flexural strength of 650 psi
(corresponding to a compressive strength on the order of 4,000 psi), a maximum slump of 4 inches
and air entrainment of 5 percent ± I percent.
The ABC under all pavements should be compacted to at least 100 percent of the standard Proctor
maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557). The soil subbase should consist of a near uniform soil of
equivalent moisture coy n ns�iiy:
All pavements should be sloped a minimum of one percent to provide rapid surface drainage.
Water allowed to pond on or adjacent to the pavement could saturate the subgrade and contribute to
premature pavement deterioration.
We recommend that the pavement subgrade be evaluated by a representative of PSI immediately
prior to placing ABC. If low consistency. soils are encountered which cannot be adequately
densified in place, such soils should be removed and replaced with well -compacted soil fill or
crushed stone materials.
All pavement materials, joints, reinforcing, and construction procedures should conform to North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) "Standard Specifications for Roads and
Structures" (1990 Edition), American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines, and/or appropriate city
or county requirements.
REPORT LIMITATIONS
The recommendations submitted are based on the available soil information obtained by PSI and
design details furnished by RTM and Charles McCann & Associates for the proposed project. If
there are any revisions to the plans for this project or if deviations from the subsurface conditions
noted in this report are encountered during construction, PSI should be notified immediately to

Test Procedures

FIELD TEST PROCEDURES
The general field procedures employed by Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI), are summarized in
the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard D-420 which is entitled "Investigating
and Sampling Soil and Rock". This recommended practice lists recognized methods for determining soil
and rock distribution and groundwater conditions. These methods include geophysical and in -situ
methods as well as borings.
Standard Drilling Techniques
General: To obtain subsurface samples, borings are drilled using one of several alternate techniques
depending upon the subsurface conditions. These techniques are:
In Soils:
a) Continuous hollow stem augers. ,
b) Rotary borings using roller cone bits or drag bits, and water or drilling mud to
flush the hole.
c) "Hand" augers.
In Rock:
a) Core drilling with diamond -faced, double or triple tube core barrels.
b) Core boring with roller cone bits.
Hollow Stem Auger: A hollow stem augers consists of a hollow steel tube with a continuous exterior
spiral flange termed a flight. The auger is turned into the ground, returning the cuttings along the flights.
The hollow center permits a variety of sampling and testing tools to be used without removing the auger.
Rotary Borings: Rotary drilling involves the use of roller cone or drag type drill bits attached to the end
of drill rods. A flushing medium, normally water or bentonite slurry, is pumped through the rods to clear
the cuttings from the bit face and Bush them to the surface. Casing is sometimes set behind the
advancing bit to prevent the hole from collapsing and to restrict the penetration of the drilling fluid into
the surrounding soils. Cuttings returned to the surface by the drilling fluid are typically collected in a
settling tank, to allow the fluid to be recirculated.
I -land Auger Boring: Hand auger borings are advanced by manually twisting a 4" diameter steel bucket
auger into the ground and withdrawing it when filled to observe the sample collected. Post hole diggers
are sometimes used in lieu of augers to dbtain shallow soil samples. Occasionally these hand auger
borings are used for driving 3 inch diameter steel tubes to obtain intact soil samples.
Core Drilling: Soil drilling methods are not normally capable of penetrating through hard cemented soil,
weathered rock, coarse gravel or boulders, thin rock seams, or the upper surface of sound, continuous
rock. Material which cannot be penetrated by auger or rotary soil -drilling methods at a reasonable rate,
is designated as "refusal material". Core drilling procedures are required to penetrate and sample refusal
materials.
Prior to coring, casing may be set in the drilled hole through the overburden soils, to keep the hole from
caving and to prevent excessive water loss. The refusal materials are then cored according to ASTM D-
2113 using a diamond -studded bit fastened to the end of a hollow, double or triple tube core barrel. This
device is rotated at high speeds, and the cuttings are brought to the surface by circulating water. Core

samples of the material penetrated are protected and retained in the swivel -mounted inner tube. Upon
completion of each driil run, the core barrel is brought to the surface, the core recovery is measured, and
the core is placed, in sequence, in boxes for storage and transported to our laboratory,
Sampling and Testing in Boreholes
General: -Several techniques are used to obtain samples and data in soils, however the. most common
methods in this area are:
a) Standard Penetrating Testing
b) Undisturbed Sampling
c) Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Testing
d) Water Level Readings
These procedures are presented below. Any additional testing technique$ employed during this
exploration are contained in other sections of the Appendix.
Standard Penetration Testing: At regular intervals, the drilling tools are removed and soil samples
obtained with a standard 2 inch diameter split tube sampler connected to an A or N-size rod. The
sampler is first seated 6 inches to penetrate any loose cuttings, then driven an additional 12 inches with
blows of a 140 pound safety hammer falling 30 inches. Generally, the number of hammer blows
required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches is designated the "penetration resistance" or "N" value,
in blows per foot (bpo. The split barrel sampler is designed to retain the soil penetrated, so that it may
be returned to the surface for observation. Representative portions of the soil samples obtained from
each split barrel sample are placed in jars, sealed and transported to our laboratory.
The standard penetration test, when properly evaluated, provides an indication of the soil strength and
compressibility. The tests are conducted according to ASTM Standard D-1586. The depths and N-
values of standard penetration tests are shown on the Boring Records. Split barrel samples are suitable
for visual observation and classification tests but are not sufficiently intact for quantitative laboratory
testing.
Undisturbed Sampling: Relatively undisturbed samples are obtained by pushing 3 inch OD 30" long steel
tubes, with hydraulic pressure supplied by the drill rig into the soil at the desired sampling levels (ASTM
Standard D1587). Each tube, together with the encased soil, is removed from the ground, sealed with
wax, and transported to our laboratory. Locations and depths of undisturbed samples are shown on the
Boring Records.
D ny amic Cone Penetrometer: The dynamic cone is a hand -operated penetrometer used in band auger
borings and observation pits, as referenced in ASTM STP-399. This test is intended to provide data that
can be correlated to the standard penetration test. A 1 `/z-inch OD cone is seated to penetrate any loose
cuttings, then driven three, 13/,-inch increments with blows from a 15-pound weight falling 20 inches.
Tile average mrmber of blows required to drive the cone three increments is an index to soil strength and
compressibility.
Water Level Readings: Water table readings are normally taken in the borings and are recorded on the
Boring Records. In sandy soils, these readings indicate the approximate location of the hydrostatic water
table at the time of our field exploration. In clayey soils, the rate of water seepage into the borings is low
and it is generally not possible to establish the location of the hydrostatic water table through short-term
fi I'm9.

water level readings. Also, fluctuation in the water table should be expected with variations in
precipitation, surface run-off, evaporation, and other factors. For long-term monitoring of water levels, it
is necessary to install piezometers.
The water levels reported on .the Boring Records are determined by field crews immediately after the
drilling tools are removed, and several hours after the borings are completed, if possible. The time lag is
intended to permit stabilization of the groundwater table, which may have been disrupted by the drilling
operation.
Occasionally the borings will cave-in, preventing water level readings from being obtained or trapping
drilling water above the cave-in zone. The cave-in depth is measured and recorded on the Boring
Records.
SOIL CLASSIFICATION
Soil classifications provide a general guide to the engineering properties of various soil types and enable
the engineer to apply his past experience to current problems. In our explorations, samples obtained
during drilling operations are examined in our laboratory and visually classified by an engineer in
accordance with ASTM D-2488 (Visual -Manual Procedure for Description of Soils). The soils are
classified according to consistency (based on number of blows from standard penetration tests), color,
and texture. These classification descriptions are included on our Boring Records.
The classification system discussed above is primarily qualitative, and for detailed soil classification two
laboratory tests are sometimes necessary: grain size tests and plasticity tests. Mechanical Grain Size
Analysis Tests are performed in accordance with ASTM D-421, prepared using the Wet Preparation
Method (ASTM D-2217), and Atterberg Limits 'Pests (Liquid Limit and Plastic Limit only) are performed
in accordance with ASTM D-4318 Method A.
Using these test results the soil can be classified according to the AASHTO or Unified Classification
Systems (ASTM D-2487, "Classification of Soils for Engineering Purposes"). Each of these classification
systems and the in -place physical soil properties provides an index for estimating the soil's behavior. The
soil classification and physical properties are presented in this report. The table on the following page
presents criteria typically utilized in the classification and description of soil and rock samples for
preparation of the Boring Records.

BORING RECORDS
The subsurface conditions encountered during drilling are reported on a field boring record prepared by
the Driller. The record contains information concerning the boring method, samples attempted and
recovered, indications of the presence of coarse gravel, cobbles, etc., and observations of ground water.
It also contains the driller's interpretation of the soil conditions between samples. Therefore, these
boring records contain both factual and interpretive information. The field boring records are kept on
file in our office.
After the drilling is completed, a geotechnical professional classifies the soil samples and prepares the
final Boring Records, which are the basis for all evaluations and recommendations.
