Re: Hydraulic conductivity (permeability) analysis & Seasonal High-Water Table
determination (SHWT) for proposed storrilwatef treatment/retention area, Grays Creek
Storage Facility, Sand Hill Road, Cumberland County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Brown,
An evaluation of soil properties and hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) has been conducted at
your request on the aforementioned property. The purpose of the investigation was to
determine soil water table depths (SHWT) based on soil profiles. In addition, Ksat was
to be provided at varying depths for use with stormwater retention basin design.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity of the unsaturated zone was measured in, a similar
method as described in the Soil Science Society of America Journal, Vol. 53, no 5, Sept. -
Oct. 1989, "A Constant Permeameter for Measuring Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of
the Vadore Zone" and Comparison of the Glover Solution with the Simultaneous
Fq U af In ns Approach fb r Measuring Fly draul i c Conductivity." This consists of advancing
a small diameter bore hole to a predetermined depth. At this depth, a constant head
(pressure) was established and maintained. Flow measurements were made at timed
intervals after flow stabilized.
Soils at the proposed basin site are most similar to the Autryville soil series (see attached
boring logs). Two borings were advanced to 8.5 or more feet below the ground surface.
Seasonal High-Water Table (SHWT) as determined by evidence of colors of chroma 2 or
less (and/or concentrations of high redox mottles) was encountered at depths of 86 and 89
inches below the ground surface. No water was observed in either boring on the day of
testing.

Two compact constant head permeameter(CCHP) tests were conducted at a depth of 24
inches above SHWT levels. The measured Ksat rates were 0.83 cm/hr and 1.69 cm/hr
(equivalent to 0.33 inches/,hour and 0.67 inches per hour).
The attached map shows locations of the sample points as well as Ksat location.
It should be noted that the reported SHWT does not necessarily reflect the elevation of
static groundwater (due to variations in groundwater recharge rates, annual rainfall,
drought conditions, etc.). Reported water levels are simply a measurement on the day of
analysis.
The data presented in this report are limited by a number of considerations. The primary
consideration is that soil formations can be highly variable. The soils found on this site
can be subject to inclusions of other soil types, perched water, artesian conditions and/or
layers of undulating low permeability clay scams. These and other soil conditions can
have an effect on the steady state of groundwater flow. To the extent possible, we have
identified the soil types that will impact the flow of groundwater, and have provided a
professional opinion as to the depth of SHWT.
I trust this is the information you require at this time,
Sincerely,
moll�
