January 30, 2020 North Carolina National Guard 1636 Gold Star Drive Suite 2600 Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 Attention: Lieutenant Colonel Robyn Bryant Re: Geotechnical Exploration Report NCNG JFHQ Helipad District Drive Raleigh, North Carolina Timmons Group Project No. 42866 Lieutenant Colonel Bryant: 5410 Trinity Road Suite 102 Raleigh, NC 27607 P 919.866.4951 F 919.859.5663 www.timmons.com Timmons Group is pleased to submit this geotechnical exploration report for the referenced project. The objectives of our services were to explore subsurface conditions and provide a summary of encountered conditions and laboratory test results. This report is a revision to our Revised Geotechnical Engineering Report dated July 2, 2019. The report has been updated to provide only the geotechnical fieldwork data and laboratory test data performed to date. 1. PROJECT INFORMATION The site is just south of the existing North Carolina National Guard Joint Force Headquarters located at 1636 Gold Star Drive in Raleigh, North Carolina. A Site Vicinity Map is shown in Figure 1. Proposed construction will consist of a helipad and associated parking lots and paved drives. Some of the new pavement is expected to receive occasional fuel truck traffic. Mass grading will require excavation and fill depths on the order of 10 feet. The site is bounded by District Drive with the North Carolina National Guard Joint Force Headquarters beyond to the north, Wade Avenue to the south, the North Carolina State Laboratory of Public Health and Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to the west, and Western Wake Fire Revised Geotechnical Data Report Project No.42866 NCNG JFHQ Helipad — Raleigh, NC January 30, 2020 Department to the east. Ground surface elevations in the proposed construction area range from approximately 440 feet in the middle of the site to approximately 424 feet at the northern edge of the site. Site grades generally slope downward from the central peak to the north, south, east, and west. 2. FIELD EXPLORATION The field exploration included a visual site reconnaissance by a representative of Timmons Group, performance of five (5) soil test borings (B-1 through B-5), and performance of nine (9) test pit excavations (T-1 through T-9). Boring and test pit locations were selected by Timmons Group. A representative from Timmons Group established their locations in the field using GPS equipment. Approximate boring locations are shown on Figure 2 in Appendix A. Approximate test pit locations are shown in Appendix D. 2.1 Hand Auger Borings Hand auger borings were performed to depths of approximately 2.5 to 10 feet below the existing ground surface with hand auger drilling techniques. Samples of subsurface soils were taken within the borings at approximate 1-foot depth intervals. Dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) tests were conducted at 2-foot depth intervals in general accordance with method described by Sowers and Hedges (Dynamic Cone for Shallow In -Situ Penetration Testing, 1966). Several bulk samples of auger cuttings were also collected. Water levels were measured in open boreholes at the time of drilling. Upon completion, boreholes were then backfilled up to the original ground surface with drill cuttings. Representative portions of split -spoon soil samples were returned to our laboratory for quantitative testing and visual classification in general accordance with Unified Soil Classification System guidelines. Boring logs and a generalized soil profile (Figure 3), which present specific information from the borings, are included in the Appendix. Stratification lines shown on the boring logs and profile are intended to represent approximate depths of changes in soil types. Naturally, transitional changes in soil types are often gradual and cannot be defined at particular depths. Boring elevations shown on the logs and profile were obtained from the project topographic plan and should be considered approximate. 2.2 Test Pits After encountering debris -laden existing fill in two of the borings (B-1 and B-2), nine test pits were performed at the site. This exploration is described in our field report dated March 7, 2019, shown in Appendix D. KA Revised Geotechnical Data Report Project No.42866 NCNG JFHQ Helipad — Raleigh, NC January 30, 2020 3. SITE GEOLOGY According to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Land Resources, NC Geological Survey, the site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province. In general, the Piedmont Province consists of generally rolling, well- rounded hills and ridges with a few hundred feet of elevation difference between the hills and valleys. Elevations in the Piedmont Province range from 300 to 600 feet above sea level near its border with the Coastal Plain to 1,500 feet at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Resistant knobs and hills, called monadnocks, which occur in the Piedmont Province, include the Sauratown, South, and Uwharrie Mountains (Medina, Reid, and Carpenter, 2004). According the referenced Survey, the site is underlain by Felsic Mica Gneiss. Felsic Mica Gneiss is described as interlayered with biotite and hornblende gneiss and schist. 4. LABORATORY TESTING Laboratory testing was performed on representative soil samples obtained from the borings. This testing consisted of natural moisture content, Atterberg limits, grain size analyses, Standard Proctor, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) on soils. Laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM procedures. Individual laboratory test data sheets are provided in the Appendix. Summaries of laboratory test data are provided in the tables below.

Based on comparison of natural moisture contents of near -surface soils to the optimum moisture contents of the bulk samples, near -surface soils appeared near optimum moisture at the time of our exploration. Some wetting or drying of the on -site soils could be required prior to their re -use as fill. However, the amount of moisture manipulation will likely depend on prevailing weather conditions. 5. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 5.1.1 Hand Auger Borings Borings encountered approximately I to 6 inches of surficial topsoil. Below topsoil, fill soils were encountered in borings B-1 and B-2 to depths of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 feet. Refusal materials were encountered below these depths. The borings were offset multiple times from the original locations but were unable to be excavated deeper. Encountered fill consisted of soft to firm silty clays and sandy silts (CL, ML). Much of the fill contained wood, asphalt, concrete and rock fragments, tires, silt fencing, and other trash. Near the refusal depth in borings B-1 and B-2, the fill contained asphalt and concrete fragments along with other trash. We expect refusal in borings B-1 and B-2 occurred on asphalt or concrete debris. DCP values within the fill profile ranged from 4 to 5 blows per increment. It is possible that some SPT N-values were amplified due the presence of asphalt, rock, and concrete fragments and may not represent the true consistency of the soil. It is our opinion that the existing fills encountered in the borings are not consistent with -a controlled fill intended to support structures. The fill contains excessive debris. Below surface materials in borings B-3, B-4, and B-5, "undisturbed" residual soils were encountered to depths of about 10 feet. These soils consisted of medium dense clayey sands (SC), and soft to stiff silty clays, and silts with varying amounts of clay and sand (CL, ML, MH). DCP values within these soils ranged from 3 to 20+ blows per increment, with typical values of 8 to 18 blows per increment. 4 Revised Geotechnical Data Report Project No.42866 NCNG JFHQ Helipad - Raleigh NC January 30 2020 At the time of drilling, water was not encountered in the borings. It is important to realize that groundwater levels will fluctuate with changes in rainfall and evaporation rates. In addition, perched groundwater could be encountered within near -surface soils, particularly after rainfall. 5.1.2 Test Pits Due to the presence of fill material and trash in two of the initial hand auger borings (13-1 and 13- 2), several test pits (T-1 through T-9) were completed to further explore the fill mass on site. Test Pits T-1 through T-7 encountered approximately 6 to 9 feet of fill material mixed with trash, while Test Pits T-8 and T-9 encountered undisturbed soils below the surficial topsoil layer. Perched ground water was also encountered in several of the borings. A detailed summary of test pits findings along with photographs can be found in the Field Report located in the Appendix D of this report. 6. GEOTECHNICAL COMMENTARY We understand the design recommendations for pavements at this site will be provided by others. The goal of this report is to provide information based on field exploration done by Timmons Group. 7. LIMITATIONS OF REPORT While this exploration has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices, there remains some potential for variation of the subsurface conditions in unexplored areas of the site. 8.

FIELD REPORT Project Name: NCNG Helipad Location: Raleigh, NC Project No.: 42866 Permit No.: Client: NCNG Weather: Sunny, Cold Contractor: Neil Barnhill Date: 3/7/19 Technician: J. Israel & P. Strom Portal to Portal Time: 3 Hours Summary: Timmons representatives arrived on site to observe the digging of several test pits in suspected fill mass that had previously been encountered in hand auger borings and proposed parking lot. Several trees were cleared to gain access to fill mass area from off load site. A total of nine (9) test pits were excavated. Test pits labeled T-1 through T-7 encountered buried organic/debris materials ranging in depth from 6 to 9 feet below surface. Test pits labeled as T-8 and T-9 did not encounter any previously placed fill material. Depths and locations are to be considered approximate. Test pits labeled T-I through T-7 encountered approximately 6 to 9 feet of previously placed fill composed of poorly compacted highly plastic soils mixed with organics and various pieces of trash. Trash was dispersed throughout the fill soil profile and was composed of various plastics, asphalt, concrete, and stone chunks, tires, silt fencing, and aluminum cans. Perched ground water was also encountered in the upper part of the profile of several test pits. Below the fill material residual soils were encountered. These residual soils were primarily composed of firm to stiff red to orange sandy micaceous silts and silty micaceous clays. The previously placed fill soils and organic/debris are not suitable for structural fill and will need to be removed from proposed structure areas. The estimated amount of unsuitable soils is 17,361 cubic yards. However, the depth and extent of removal should be determined at time of excavation and as directed by qualified technician or engineer once structural areas are identified in the field. T-8 did not encounter any fill material. Residual soils were observed below the top approximately 8 inches of topsoil/root mat underlain by firm red micaceous silty clay. Test pit was dry at time of excavation. T-9 was completed at the approximate location of proposed B-6 in the proposed future parking area. T- 9 encountered approximately 8 inches of topsoil/root mat underlain by approximately 4 feet of firm red micaceous silty clay, followed by firm to stiff red to orange fine sandy micaceous silt to test pit termination depth (approximately 8 feet). Test pit was dry at time of excavation. See attached site photos and diagrams. Report By: Reviewed By: Patrick Strom (Signature) Jesse L. I Date: 3/7/19 E.I.
