Re: Preliminary soil evaluation for subsurface waste disposal, Carter & Lee Property,
PIN(s) 0477-19-3770 & 0477-09-9650, +/- 22 acres, 4377 Sanderosa Road, Cumberland
County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Armstrong,
A preliminary soils investigation has been completed for the above referenced properties
at your request. The property is located at 4377 Sanderosa Road as illustrated on the
accompanying map. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the extent of soil
areas that may have the ability to primarily support subsurface waste disposal systems for
a proposed residential subdivision. All ratings and determinations were made in
accordance with "Laws and Rules for Sanitary Sewage Collection, Treatment, and
Disposal, 15A NCAC 18A .1900".
Southeastern Soil and Environmental Associates, Inc. (SSEA) performed these soil
evaluations in December 2020 and January 2021. SSEA traversed the property and
observed landforms (slope, drainage patterns, etc_) as well as soil conditions through the
use of hand auger borings and/or soil probes. From these observations and GPS location
(accuracy may vary; not based on a current survey) the boundaries between usable and
unusable soils has been estimated on the accompanying reaps (scale as shown).
Two distinct soil patterns were observed in the field evaluations. They are described as
follow:
Area "A": This area is dominated by soils that are primarily suitable or provisionally
suitable for subsurface waste disposal systems (with the exception of minor
drainageways that are too small to delineate at this scale). Typically, these soils
exhibited 20 or more inches of loamy sand underlain by sandy foams, loamy sands and/or
sandy clay loams to depths of 48 or more inches below the existing soil surface.

Soil wetness, depth, and mineralogy were typically suitable to depths of at least 20
inches. A 3-bedroom home would require approximately 6,000 sq. ft. of this soil area
for drainfields and repair areas exclusive of setbacks from lot lines houses drainage
features proposed and existing wells etc.. A 4-bedroom home would require
approximately 8,000 sq. ft. of this soil area. (Note: These square footage
recommendations assume appropriate topography for a practical septic system layout on
topographical contour. Space requirements could increase with difficult topography,
irregular lot lines, etc.) Septic drainfields in these soil areas would primarily be
conventional/innovative or low -profile chamber but could include [.1957b (fill), porous
panel block, pretreatment, drip irrigation, etc.].
Area "B": Soils in these areas are dominantly unsuitable for subsurface waste
disposal due to unsuitable topography and/or shallow soil depths to soil wetness [colors
of chroma 2 (or less) and/or redox mottles that are less than 12 inches from the soil
surface]. These soils are not capable of modification under current regulatory criteria
(for subsurface waste disposal).
Note. The enclosed map is not based on a current survey [once surveyed,
estimations of soil lines may change]. All points were flagged in the field for
location by your professional land surveyor. Due to soil complexity and/or poor
GPS accuracy, estimations of unsuitable soil lines (on maps provided) could vary
further evaluation/location.
Any site grading or soil disturbance in provisionally suitable areas (shown on the
attached maps) may alter the findings of this report and render sites unusable.
Areas proposed for septic disposal must remain undisturbed (no mechanical
clearing, stripping, excavation or heavy traffic).
Because individual lots were not surveyed at the time of evaluation, this report does not
address any proposed lot(s). This report is to be used as a guide for likely
subdivision/lot design based on usable soil locations.
Additional soil borings/testing are required at the time that proposed individual lots
are staked on the ground to determine whether each lot contains adequate soils that
have the ability to assimilate waste under current rules and the type septic system
required (especially important when proposing private wells). Based on these
individual lot evaluations, additional requirements for lot density, lot size and/or
configuration would be made to meet current regulatory criteria.

It is imperative that these individual lot evaluations be completed so that necessary
changes can be made to lot lines (if necessary) before map recordation.
This report, of course, does not guarantee, constitute or imply any approval, or issuance
of permit, as needed by the client from the local health department. Such approval is
dependent on individual lot evaluations made after individual lots are staked in the field
by the local health department. This report only represents my opinion as a licensed soil
scientist. Because of the extreme variability of these soils, SSEA does not guarantee that
permitting agencies will agree with these findings (nor permit the intended use).
As with any property, a buyer of any proposed lot should obtain an appropriate
septic improvement permit from the local County Health Department prior to
making or completing financial obligations or commitments. (A permit from this
agency is the only guarantee of a site's suitability).
Southeastern Soil and Environmental Associates, Inc. is pleased to be of service in this
matter. We look forward to assisting in additional site analysis needs you may have in
the future. Please feel free to call with any questions.
Sincerely,
Mike Eaker
President
