Reference: Addendum to Report
Soil Scientist Investigation for Stormwater
Chicken Road and MacRidge Road, Fort Bragg
Dear Mr. Rose,
This addendum addresses additional data collected at SCM 3 after the final report was
submitted. A site investigation has been conducted for the above referenced property, located on
the southeast of the intersection of Chicken Road and MacRidge Road in Fayetteville,
Cumberland County, North Carolina. The purpose of this investigation was to provide a general
characterization of the soils in the area proposed for a stormwater infiltration device, including a
determination of the depth to evidence of a seasonal high water table and estimation of the
permeability of the various soil layers. In -situ hydraulic conductivity testing was not conducted.
All soil characteristics were described in accordance with the USDA Field Book for Describing
and Sampling Soils. This report represents my professional opinion as a Licensed Soil Scientist.
Hand -powered auger borings were used to make soil observations at SCM 3. A detailed
soil profile description for each boring is attached to this report. A red ribbon flag was hung at
the auger borings to facilitate survey location for the elevation. Soil morphological
characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table (SHWT) were observed at 88 and 65 inches
below surface at Boring 3A and 3B, respectively. The proposed area has significant slope and
the depth to the seasonal high water table also transitions from deep to more shallow as you
proceed down the slope. Infiltration rates (permeability) of the soil materials are most limited to
approximately 2.0 in/hr in the sandy clay loam layer from 32 to 88 inches below surface at 3A
and to approximately 1.5 in/hr in the sandy clay loam layer from about 54 to 65 inches below
surface at 3B.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide this service and trust that you will feel free to call
on me again in the future. If you have any questions or need additional information, please
contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely
