Job No.'. 3374-99
Dear Mr. Avery :
December 23, 1999
Soil Tech Engineering, Inc. has recently conducted an evaluation of the existing site
conditions for the development of the proposed Lowe's Food stored at the intersection
of Pine Grove Drive and Greenville Loop Road in Wilmington, North Carolina. The
purpose of this evaluation was to determine the general suitability of the on -site soils
for the design and discharge of stormwater runoff from the planned development.
We conducted an investigation of the subsurface soils at the designated locations
indicated in the provided site sketch on December 13, 1999. The purpose of our
evaluation was to determine the suitability of the in -place soils for the discharge of
stormwater runoff. We investigated the subsurface soils to a depth of six feet below the
existing ground surface. We also classified each subsurface strata encountered by
depth and obtained representative soils samples at the designated locations.
To evaluate the characteristics of the subsurface soils encountered, selected soil
samples were tested in our laboratory for grain size structure in accordance with the
American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) procedures entitled AS T M D-422;
"Particle Size Analysis of Soils Our sampling indicated that the subsurface soils at
each test location to be moderately drainable stratas of tan to tan orange fine drained
sands,

These moderately drainable sands extended to the depths we were capable of
investigating to using hand tools and was felt practical.
We also conducted an evaluation of the subsurface infiltration at the three selected
locations. The infiltration rate of the in -place soils were determined at a depth of
approximately 30 inches below the existing ground surface at the locations
investigated. This depths is where typical discharge systems are installed. The
infiltration rate was found to be 0.6 inches per minute at location 1, 0.9 inches per
minute at location 2, and 0.8 inches per minute at location 3, based on our analysis.
We did not encounter groundwater at the locations investigated to a depth of 6 feet
below the existing ground surface We encountered subsurface soils that indicate
colorations which reflect drainable subsurface conditions. The seasonal high
groundwater condition should be below the depths explored, in our opinion. In our
opinion, the subsurface soils, groundwater depth and general site features observed
during our investigation and evaluation, should fall within the regulated guidelines for
the design of a stormwater infiltration system.
Please find the results of our field and laboratory tests and a sketch indicating the
locations tested. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
Yours truly,
