2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICE;
The authorized subsurface exploration was initially performed on June 1, 2021. However,
inclement weather caused a delay. The remainder of the subsurface exploration was
completed on June 7, 2021 in conformance with our proposal RD23241, dated May 12,
2021. The notice to proceed was provided by Mr. Larry Lane of AdVenture Development,
LLC via signed proposal.
The purpose of the geotechnical exploration has been to characterize general subsurface
conditions at specific boring locations and to gather data on which to base a geotechnical
evaluation with respect to the project. The subsurface exploration for this project
consisted of eleven (11) soil test borings and five (5) seasonal high water table borings.
Soil test borings were drilled using a CM 550X ATV rig equipped with a manual hammer.
Seasonal high water table borings were also performed for this study. The hand augers
were performed by Mr. Mike Eaker of Southeastern Soil and Environmental Associates.
The borings were advanced by hand using a 3-inch hand auger.
Test boring sites were field located by a representative of our staff using a hand-held
Garmin GPS. Boring site coordinates were superimposed on a Google Earth overlay. As
such, the boring positions appearing on the attached Boring Location Plan should be
considered approximate. Soil samples recovered during our site investigation were
visually classified and specific samples were selected by the project engineer for
laboratory analysis. The laboratory analyses consisted of:
Ell
Natural Moisture Content
Atterberg Limits
Particle Size Distribution of Soils (Gradation)
Table 2: Scope of Laboratory Tests
Results of the laboratory analyses are presented on the attached Boring Logs and in
tabular form in the report Appendix. Descriptions of the laboratory tests that were
performed for this study are also included in the Appendix.
Information gathered from the exploration was evaluated to identify a suitable foundation
type for the project. The information was also evaluated to help identify any special
subgrade preparation procedures that may be required during the project earthworks
phase. Results of the work, presented within this report, addresses:

3.0 GEOTECHNICAL SITE CHARACTERIZATION
The following paragraphs are intended to provide a general characterization of the site
from a geotechnical engineering perspective. It is neither the intention of this report to
address every potential geotechnical matter that may arise, nor to provide every possible
interpretation of conditions identified. The following condition descriptions, and
subsequent geotechnical recommendations are based on the assumption significant
changes in subsurface conditions do not occur between boreholes. However, anomalous
conditions can occur due to variations in existing fill that may be present at the site, or
due to natural variations in site geologic conditions. For this reason, it will be necessary
to evaluate the site conditions with respect to those reported herein during site grading
and foundation installation.

Project No: RD210331, July 8, 2021
3.1 GEOLOGY
Appearing on the USGS Geologic Map of North Carolina, the project site is situated in the
North Carolina Coastal Plain region. Soil deposition in this environment is dynamic, with
dune and slews formed by wind and water erosion, resulting in a variable profile over
relatively short distances. The site is underlain by terrace deposits and upland sediments
consisting of gravel, clayey sand, and sand, primarily caused by oceanic subsidence during
the Cenozoic era (65 million years of age). Conditions encountered in borings drilled for
this study generally correlate to the published geological information.
3.2 EXISTING SURFACE CONDITIONS
At the time of our fieldwork, the site was described as generally flat, with elevations
ranging from 171 to 174 feet (Proposed CGU Documents, Grading Plan-C). The site is
currently undeveloped, and occupied by mature trees and significant understory. Access
paths were cleared for this geotechnical work, composing approximately 30% of the site.
Generally described as well -drained, stormwater is directed to a pond on the east side of
the property, and a stormwater basin near the southern property boundary.
3.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
A generalized stratification summary has been prepared using data from the soil test
borings and is presented in the table below. The stratification depicts the general soil
conditions and stratum types encountered during our field investigation.

estimates. The information was also evaluated to help identify any special subgrade
preparation procedures that might be required during the project earthworks phase.
3.3.1 TOPSOIL
Topsoil depths observed within the soil borings generally range from 3 to 12 inches. An
estimated 1 to 2 inches was lost from the observed topsoil thickness at some areas due
to clearing for drill rig access. No testing has been performed to verify that these soils
meet general characteristics of "topsoil" (humus and root content). Topsoil depths
reported on the boring logs should only be considered an estimate as topsoil thickness
may vary in unexplored portions of the site.
3.3.2 CLAYEY SAND (SC)
In -situ soils identified as clayey sand (SC) were encountered in all the test borings,
extending as deep as 13.5 feet below ground surface. In every boring, the clayey sand (SC)
layer began just below the topsoil layer. Most of this (SC) soil is naturally occurring, with
the exception of P-01 where it is described as existing fill extending to a depth of about
4.3 ft. This stratum exhibits SPT N-values ranging from 4 to 32 blows per foot, values in
the range 11 to 15 considered representative. Additional characteristics for this stratum
include fine to medium grained soil, brownish yellow and red colors, and a loose to dense
consistency. Laboratory testing indicates a plasticity index of 36 and approximately 18
percent passing the #200 sieve. ASTM D2488 classifies this material at clayey sand (SC).
3.3.3 SANDY FAT CLAY (CH) OR SANDY LEAN CLAY (CL)
Naturally occurring soils classified as sandy fat clay (CH) and sandy lean clay (CL) were
observed in borings B-04, B-06 and P-03, extending from below the SC stratum to depths
4.8 to 9.2 feet below the surface. This stratum is generally described as brownish yellow
and gray, fine to coarse grained with a stiff to hard consistency. SPT N-values in this
stratum range from 13 to 31 blows per foot, with representative values from 13-17 blows
per foot. Laboratory testing reveals a Plasticity Index of 31-34, and approximately 68-76
percent passing the #200 sieve for the (CH) layers. ASTM D2488 classifies the material as
Sandy Fat Clay (CH).
3.3.4 POORLY GRADED SAND WITH CLAY (SP-SC)
Fine to coarse grained soil classified as poorly graded sand with clay (SP-SC) was
encountered in all borings extending from just below the SC or CH-CL strata to below the
boring termination depths. This stratum contains loose to medium dense soils displaying
SPT N-values ranging from 5 to 25 blows per foot. N-values in the ranges of 8 to 12 blows
per foot are considered representative.

1.3.5 AUGER REFUSAL
Auger refusal is the drilling depth at which the borehole can no longer be advanced using
soil drilling procedures. Auger refusal can occur on hard soil, boulders, buried debris or
bedrock. Coring is required to sample material below auger refusal. Auger refusal was
not encountered in any of the borings for this project.
3.3.6 GROUNDWATER
At the time of drilling, groundwater was observed in all building borings, with depths
ranging from 4.0 to 10.0 feet below ground surface. No water was observed in any of the
pavement borings during drilling. However, stabilized groundwater was present in both
building and pavement borings, indicating a stabilized level ranging approximately 4.0 to
6.3 feet below the surface. A piezometer was installed in boring B-02 to assist in a more
accurate reading. Groundwater data is summarized in the following table.

3.4 SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE TESTING
Depths of the Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT) were measured by Mr. Mike Eaker,
a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist with Southeastern Soil & Environmental
Associates, Inc. Under contract to Building & Earth Sciences, he performed the field
measurements and provided a letter summarizing his work. Mr. Eaker's report details the
procedures used in his field evaluation, the results of his soil observations, the depth of
SHWT, and the depth of observed water at each test location. The SHWT report is

included in the Appendix. Because the SHWT table was encountered at the ground
surface in 3 of the 5 borings, and within the upper 34 inches in the remaining two
locations, infiltration testing was not performed.
4.0 SITE DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
A grading plan has not been made available at the time of this reporting. Using estimated
ground surface elevations at the boring sites (172.5 to 174.0 ft.), we estimated up to 4 ft.
of cut and grade -raise fill placement will be required to achieve final grades.
Based on our evaluation of the subsurface soil information, and the anticipated
foundation loads, it appears that construction with a conventional shallow spread
foundation system is appropriate to this project. Site development recommendations
presented below are intended for development of the site to support construction with
this type of foundation system. If an alternative type of foundation system is preferred,
Building & Earth should be allowed to review the site development
recommendations to verify that they are appropriate for the preferred foundation
system.
Primary geotechnical concerns affecting this project are:
Significant clearing and grading to prepare building pads and parking areas
Clearing and grubbing of established wooded areas
Recommendations addressing the site conditions are presented in the following sections.
4.1 INITIAL SITE PREPARATION
Initial site preparation should include clearing and grubbing to remove all trees, roots,
topsoil, and otherwise deleterious materials from areas to receive grade -raise fill,
pavements, buildings, and other permanent development components. Up to 12 inches
of topsoil were observed in the borings, and removal of significantly sized mature tree
roots should be expected. A geotechnical engineer should observe stripping and
grubbing operations to confirm all unsuitable materials are removed from areas proposed
for construction.
Materials disturbed during clearing operations
necessary, undercut to undisturbed materials and
approved structural fill.
should be stabilized in place or, if
backfilled with properly compacted,
Page 19
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation - Eastfield Crossing Development
Task Order 10: Block A -Retail (Except for Hobby Lobby)
Selma, North Carolina
Project No: RD210331, July 8, 2021
During site preparation activities, the contractor should identify borrow source materials
that will be used as structural fill and provide samples to the testing laboratory so that
conformance to the Structural Fill requirements, appearing below, below can be assessed
and so that laboratory moisture density (Proctor) testing can be completed prior to
commencement of earthworks operations.
4.2 SUBGRADE EVALUATION
We recommend the project geotechnical engineer, or a qualified representative of the
engineer evaluate the subgrade after the site is prepared. Some unsuitable or unstable
areas may be present in unexplored areas of the site. All areas that will require fill or that
will support structures should be carefully proofrolled with a heavy (40,000 # minimum),
rubber -tired vehicle at the following times.
■ After an area has been stripped, and undercut if required, prior to the placement
of any fill.
■ After grading an area to the finished subgrade elevation in a building or pavement
area.
■ After areas have been exposed to any precipitation, and/or have been exposed for
more than 48 hours.
Some instability may exist during construction, depending on climatic and other factors
immediately preceding and during construction. If any soft or otherwise unsuitable soils
are identified during the proofrolling process, they must be undercut or stabilized prior
to fill placement, pavement construction, or floor slab construction. All unsuitable material
identified during the construction shall be removed and replaced in accordance with the
Structural Fill section of this report.
4.3 MOISTURE SENSITIVE SOILS
Moisture sensitive clayey sand soils (SC) were encountered at the surface across most of
the site during the subsurface exploration. These soils will degrade if allowed to become
saturated. Therefore, not allowing water to pond by maintaining positive drainage and
temporary dewatering methods (if required) is important to help avoid degradation and
softening of the soils.
The contractor should anticipate some difficulty during the earthwork phase of this
project if moisture levels are moderate to high during construction. Increased moisture
levels will soften the subgrade and the soils may become unstable under the influence of
construction traffic. Accordingly, construction during wet weather conditions should be
Page 110
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation - Eastfield Crossing Development
Task Order 10: Block A -Retail (Except for Hobby Lobby)
Selma, North Carolina
Project No: RD210331, July 8, 2021
avoided, as this could result in soft and unstable soil conditions that would require ground
modification, such as in place stabilization or undercutting.
4.4 UNDERCUTTING OF Low CONSISTENCY SOILS
Low consistency soils (N<_6) were encountered in some of the borings within about 1.5
feet of the surface. Low consistency soils should be stabilized in place. This will require
discing and drying in order to bring the surface soils to within 2 percent of the material's
optimum moisture content prior to attempting compaction. If the soils cannot be dried
from the surface, the low consistency soils should be undercut to a stable, suitable
subgrade. The undercutting should extend laterally 5 feet outside building, fill pad, and
parking lot footprints. It may be possible to stabilize relatively soft soils in in place. Typical
stabilization methods vary widely and include modification of the soft soils with the
addition of shot rock or No. 2 stone, as well as utilization of geogrids and graded
aggregates. The design of a specific stabilization method is beyond the scope of this
investigation but can be provided by Building & Earth as an additional service if desired.
Any undercutting or stabilization performed in pavement areas should be conducted
under the observation of the geotechnical engineer or his representative. The limited
depth of this material likely indicates scarification and re -compaction will be the
appropriate stabilization method.
Some unsuitable or unstable areas may be present in unexplored areas of the site. Once
the known undercut is complete, the areas planned for construction should be proofrolled
in order to identify any additional soft soils requiring removal.
Undercut soils should be replaced with structural fill. Clean, non -organic, non -saturated
soils taken from the undercut area can be re -used as structural fill. The placement
procedure, compaction and composition of the structural fill must meet the requirements
of the Structural Fill section of this report.

4.6 EXCAVATION CONSIDERATIONS
All excavations performed at the site should follow OSHA guidelines for temporary
excavations. Excavated soils should be stockpiled according to OSHA regulations to limit
the potential cave-in of soils.
4.6.1 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was encountered at depths of approximately 4 to 10 feet below the ground
surface in test borings drilled for this study, with stabilized water depths at about 4 to 6
feet. Groundwater will likely be encountered at these depths during construction,
particularly during undercutting operations. It should be noted that fluctuations in the
water level could occur due to seasonal variations in rainfall. The contractor must be
prepared to remove groundwater seepage from excavations if encountered during
construction. Excavations extending below groundwater levels will require dewatering
systems (such as well points, sump pumps or trench drains). The contractor should
evaluate the most economical and practical dewatering method.
It is important to note that structural fill soils that have a lower fines content than the
underlying (naturally occurring) soils will be prone to developing a perched water
condition. Care should be taken to prevent this. An evaluation of the proposed structural
fill borrow sources should preclude the use of sandy soils with less than 15% fines, unless
preventative measures are implemented to relieve perched water conditions. These
measures could include sloping the subgrade soils to drain toward the stoprm drain
ponds, installing permanent French drains, or capping the new fill with a low permeability
material such as NCDOT Aggregate Base Course (ABC) stone.
4.7 UTILITY TRENCH BACKFILL
All utility trenches should be backfilled and compacted in the manner specified above for
structural fill. It may be necessary to reduce the lift thickness to 4 to 6 inches to achieve
compaction using hand -operated equipment.
4.8 LANDSCAPING AND DRAINAGE CONSIDERATION
The potential for soil moisture fluctuations within building areas and pavement subgrades
should be reduced to lessen the potential of subgrade movement. Site grading should
include positive drainage away from buildings and pavements. Excessive irrigation of
landscaping poses a risk of saturating and softening soils below shallow footings and
pavements, which could result in settlement of footings and premature failure of
pavements.

Project No: RD210331, July 8, 2021
4.9 WET WEATHER CONSTRUCTION
Excessive movement of construction equipment across the site during wet weather may
result in ruts, which will collect rainwater, prolonging the time required to dry the
subgrade soils.
During rainy periods, additional effort will be required to properly prepare the site and
establish/maintain an acceptable subgrade. The difficulty will increase in areas where clay
or silty soils are exposed at the subgrade elevation. Grading contractors typically
postpone grading operations during wet weather to wait for conditions that are more
favorable. Contractors can typically disk or aerate the upper soils to promote drying
during intermittent periods of favorable weather. When deadlines restrict postponement
of grading operations, additional measures such as undercutting and replacing saturated
soils or stabilization can be utilized to facilitate placement of additional fill material.
;.0 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Specific structural loading conditions were not provided for use in preparation of
foundation support recommendations. For purposes of this reporting, maximum 3.0 klf
wall and 100 kip column foundation loads are assumed. If these assumptions
concerning structural loading are incorrect, our office should be contacted, such that
our recommendations can be reviewed.
5.1 SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS
Based on the conditions encountered during our field investigation and after our site
preparation and grading recommendations are implemented, the proposed structure can
be supported on conventional shallow foundations designed using an allowable 3,000 psf
soil bearing capacity.
Even though computed footing dimensions may be less, column footings should be at
least 24 inches wide and strip footings should be at least 18 inches wide. These
dimensions facilitate hand cleaning of footing subgrades disturbed by the excavation
process and the placement of reinforcing steel. They also reduce the potential for
localized punching shear failure. All exterior footings should bear at least 24 inches
below the adjacent exterior grade. Total settlement of footings designed and
constructed as recommended above should be 1 inch or less.
The following items should be considered during the preparation of construction
documents and foundation installation:

Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation - Eastfield Crossing Development
Task Order 10: Block A -Retail (Except for Hobby Lobby)
Selma, North Carolina
Project No: RD210331, July 8, 2021
The geotechnical engineer of record should observe the exposed foundation
bearing surfaces prior to concrete placement to verify that the conditions
anticipated during the subsurface exploration are encountered.
All bearing surfaces must be free of soft or loose soil prior to placing concrete.
Concrete should be placed the same day the excavations are completed and
bearing materials verified by the engineer. If the excavations are left open for an
extended period, or if the bearing surfaces are disturbed after the initial
observation, then the bearing surfaces should be reevaluated prior to concrete
placement.
Water should not be allowed to pond in foundation excavations prior to concrete
placement or above the concrete after the foundation is completed.
Wherever possible, the foundation concrete should be placed "neat", using the
sides of the excavations as forms. Where this is not possible, the excavations
created by forming the foundations must be backfilled with suitable structural fill
and properly compacted.
The building pad should be sloped to drain away from the building foundations.
Roof drains should be routed away from the foundation soils.
6.0 FLOOR SLABS
Site development recommendations presented in this report should be followed to
provide for subgrade conditions suitable for support of grade supported slabs. Floor
slabs will be supported on leveling stone placed directly over building pad subgrades.
We recommend floor slabs for the proposed structure be supported on a minimum -
inch layer of 1/2-inch up to 11/2-inch, free -draining, gap -graded gravel, such as AASHTO
No. 57 stone, with no more than 5 percent passing the ASTM No. 200 sieve. The purpose
of this layer is to help distribute concentrated loads and act as a capillary break for
moisture migration through the subgrade soil. This gravel material should be
consolidated in -place with vibratory equipment. With the gravel material, such as
AASHTO No. 57 stone, a modulus of subgrade reaction of 140 pci is recommended for
slab design.
We recommend a minimum 10-mil thick vapor retarder meeting ASTM E 1745, Class C
requirements be placed directly below the slab -on -grade floors. A higher quality vapor
retarder (Class A or B) may be used if desired to further inhibit the migration of moisture
through the slab -on -grade and should be evaluated based on the floor covering and

Task Order 10: Block A -Retail (Except for Hobby Lobby)
Selma, North Carolina
Project No: RD210331, July 8, 2021
use. The vapor retarder should extend to the edge of the slab -on -grade floors and should
be sealed at all seams and penetrations. The slab should be appropriately reinforced (if
required) to support the proposed loads.
7.0 PAVEMENT CONSIDERATION
Based on the materials encountered at the boring locations and after our
recommendations for site preparation are implemented, pavements at the subject site
may be designed based on a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of five (5). Note that no CBR
or plate load testing was completed to develop these recommendations.
For pavement design purposes, we have assumed two levels of traffic shown on the table
below, for commonly used pavement sections. Specific traffic information was not
provided. If the pavement were a typical roadway, according to the "AASHTO Guide for
Design of Pavement Structures, 1993", these pavement sections would be adequate for
the following daily traffic volume:
5
5
Table 7: Assumed Traffic Volume
The volumes shown above arejust one example of possible vehicle types and daily traffic
that would result in the total equivalent 18-kip single -axle load (ESAL) shown.
It has been our experience that parking lots experience a certain level of wear and stress
greater than roadways designed for similar traffic volumes. Therefore, parking lots are
typically designed using the AASHTO method and adjusted based on experience. If the
owner would like Building & Earth to assess other likely traffic volumes, we will gladly
review other options.

(S'c) of 650 psi.
5.0 1 6.0 1 Portland Cement Concrete, f'c=4000 psi

Table 12: Rigid Pavement Recommendations
The concrete should be protected against moisture loss, rapid temperature fluctuations,
and construction traffic for several days after placement. All pavements should be sloped
for positive drainage. We recommended that the pavements be reinforced to hold any
cracks that might develop tightly together and restrain their growth.
All pavement components must be placed and compacted in accordance with the
applicable sections of the North Carolina DOT Standard Specification for Road and Bridge
Construction. All subgrade, base and pavement construction operations should meet
minimum requirements of the North Carolina DOT Standard Specification for Road and
Bridge Construction.
8.0 SUBGRADE REHABILITATION
The subgrade soils often become disturbed during the period between initial site grading
and construction of surface improvements. The amount and depth of disturbance will
vary with soil type, weather conditions, construction traffic, and drainage.
Page 118
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation - Eastfield Crossing Development
Task Order 10: Block A -Retail (Except for Hobby Lobby)
Selma, North Carolina
Project No: RD210331, July 8, 2021
The engineer should evaluate the subgrade soil during final grading to verify that the
subgrade is suitable to receive pavement and/or concrete slab base materials. The final
evaluation may include proofrolling or density tests.
Subgrade rehabilitation can become a point of controversy when different contractors are
responsible for site grading and building construction. The construction documents
should specifically state which contractor will be responsible for maintaining and
rehabilitating the subgrade. Rehabilitation may include moisture conditioning and re -
compacting soils. When deadlines or weather restrict grading operations, additional
measures such as undercutting and replacing saturated soils or chemical stabilization can
often be utilized.
9.0 CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
Field verification of site conditions is an essential part of the services provided by the
geotechnical consultant. To confirm our recommendations, it will be necessary for
Building & Earth personnel to make periodic visits to the site during site grading. Typical
construction monitoring services are listed below.
Field observation during clearing and grubbing
Fill material sampling and laboratory (index and Proctor) testing
Fill placement
■ Foundation bearing surface preparation
■ All other special inspection requirements under the applicable Building Code
10.0 CLOSING AND LIMITATIONS

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGIES
The subsurface exploration, which is the basis of the recommendations of this report, has
been performed in accordance with industry standards. Detailed methodologies employed
in the investigation are presented in the following sections.
DRILLING PROCEDURES — STANDARD PENETRATION TEST (ASTM D 7586)
At each boring location, soil samples were obtained at standard sampling intervals with a
split -spoon sampler. The borehole was first advanced to the sample depth by augering and
the sampling tools were placed in the open hole. The sampler was then driven 18 inches
into the ground with a 140-pound manual hammer free -falling 30 inches. The number of
blows required to drive the sampler each 6-inch increment was recorded. The initial
increment is considered the "seating" blows, where the sampler penetrates loose or
disturbed soil in the bottom of the borehole.
The blows required to penetrate the final two (2) increments are added together and are
referred to as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) N-value. The N-value, when properly
evaluated, gives an indication of the soil's strength and ability to support structural loads.
Many factors can affect the SPT N-value, so this result cannot be used exclusively to evaluate
soil conditions.
The SPT testing was performed using a drill rig equipped with a manual hammer. Manual
hammers are dropped using a manually operated rope and cathead system. The N-values
discussed or mentioned in this report and shown on the boring logs are recorded field
values.
Samples retrieved from the boring locations were labeled and stored in plastic bags at the
jobsite before being transported to our laboratory for analysis. The project engineer
prepared Boring Logs summarizing the subsurface conditions at the boring locations.

Building & Earth Sciences classifies soil in general
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification
System (USCS) presented in ASTM D2487. Table 1
and Figure 1 exemplify the general guidance of
the USCS. Soil consistencies and relative densities
are presented in general accordance with
Terzaghi, Peck, & Mesri's (1996) method, as
shown on Table 2, when quantitative field and/or
laboratory data is available. Table 2 includes
Consistency and Relative Density correlations
with N-values obtained using either a manual
hammer (60 percent efficiency) or automatic
hammer (90 percent efficiency). The Blows Per
Increment and SPT N-values displayed on the
boring logs are the unaltered values measured in
the field. When field and/or laboratory data is not
available, we may classify soil in general
accordance with the Visual Manual Procedure
presented in ASTM D2488.

LABORATORY TEST PROCEDURES
A brief description of the laboratory tests performed is provided in the following sections.
DESCRIPTION OF SOILS (VISUAL -MANUAL PROCEDURE) (ASTM D2488)
The soil samples were visually examined by our engineer and soil descriptions were
provided. Representative samples were then selected and tested in accordance with the
aforementioned laboratory -testing program to determine soil classifications and
engineering properties. This data was used to correlate our visual descriptions with the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
POCKET PENETROMETER
Pocket Penetrometer tests were performed on cohesive soil samples. The pocket
penetrometer provides a consistency classification, and an indication of the soils unconfined
compressive strength (Qu).
NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT (ASTM D2276)
Natural moisture contents (M%) were determined on selected samples. The natural moisture
content is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the weight of water in a given amount of
soil to the weight of solid particles.
ATTERBERG LIMITS (ASTM D4378)
The Atterberg Limits test was performed to evaluate the soil's plasticity characteristics. The soil
Plasticity Index (PI) is representative of this characteristic and is bracketed by the Liquid Limit
(LL) and the Plastic Limit (PL). The Liquid Limit is the moisture content at which the soil will
flow as a heavy viscous fluid. The Plastic Limit is the moisture content at which the soil is
between "plastic" and the semi -solid stage. The Plasticity Index (PI = ILL - PL) is a frequently
used indicator for a soil's potential for volume change. Typically, a soil's potential for volume
change increases with higher plasticity indices.
MATERIAL FINER THAN NO. 200 SIEVE BY WASHING (ASTM D 7 740)
Grain -size tests were performed to determine the partial soil particle size distribution. The
amount of material finer than the openings on the No. 200 sieve (0.075 mm) was determined
by washing soil over the No. 200 sieve. The results of wash #200 tests are presented on the
boring logs included in this report and in the table of laboratory test results.

Re: Seasonal High -Water Table determination for proposed stormwater treatment/retention
areas, Eastfield Development (North of US 70A), off Absher Drive, Johnston County, North
Carolina
Dear Mr. Pham,
An evaluation of soil properties has been conducted at your request on portions of the
aforementioned property. The purpose of the investigation was to determine Seasonal High -
Water Table depths (SHWT) based on soil profiles.
Soils at the proposed basin site are most similar to the Rains (S14WT-01, SHWT-02, SHWT-03,
SHWT-05) and Goldsboro (SHWT-04) soil series (see attached boring logs). Five (5) soil
borings were advanced to 4.0 or more feet below the soil 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 ranging from 0 to 34 inches below the existing ground
surface (see chart attached).
It should be noted that the reported SHWT does not necessarily reflect the elevation of static
groundwater at the time of testing (due to variations in groundwater recharge rates, weekly and/or
annual rainfall, drought conditions or other factors).
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 seams. 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.
Sincerely,
Mike Eaker

Geotechnical-Engineering Report
Geotechnical Services Are Performed for
Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects
Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the
specific needs of their clients. A geotechnical-engineering
study conducted for a civil engineer may not fulfill the needs of
a constructor — a construction contractor — or even another
civil engineer. Because each geotechnical- engineering study
is unique, each geotechnical-engineering report is unique,
prepared solely for the client. No one except you should rely on
this geotechnical-engineering report without first conferring
with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one
— not even you — should apply this report for any purpose or
project except the one originally contemplated.
Read the Full Report
Serious problems have occurred because those relying on
a geotechnical-engineering report did not read it all. Do
not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected
elements only.
Geotechnical Engineers Base Each Report on
a Unique Set of Project -Specific Factors
Geotechnical engineers consider many unique, project -specific
factors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors
include: the client's goals, objectives, and risk -management
preferences; the general nature of the structure involved, its
size, and configuration; the location of the structure on the
site; and other planned or existing site improvements, such as
access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless
the geotechnical engineer who conducted the study specifically
indicates otherwise, do not rely on a geotechnical-engineering
report that was:
• not prepared for you;
• not prepared for your project;
• not prepared for the specific site explored; or
• completed before important project changes were made.
Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing
geotechnical-engineering report include those that affect:
• the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed
from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light -
industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse;
• the elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight
of the proposed structure;
the composition of the design team; or
project ownership.
As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer
of project changes —even minor ones and request an
assessment of their impact. Geotechnical engineers cannot
accept responsibility or liability for problems that occur because
their reports do not consider developments of which they were
not informed.
Subsurface Conditions Can Change
A geotechnical-engineering report is based on conditions that
existed at the time the geoteclhnical engineer performed the
study. Do not rely on a geotechnical-engineering report whose
adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of time;
man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the
site; or natural events, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes,
or groundwater fluctuations. Contact the geotechnical engineer
before applying this report to determine if it is still reliable. A
minor amount of additional testing or analysis could prevent
major problems.
Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional
Opinions
Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those
points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are
taken. Geotechnical engineers review field and laboratory
data and then apply their professional judgment to render
an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the
site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ sometimes
significantly — from those indicated in your report. Retaining
the geotechnical engineer who developed your report to
provide geotechnical-construction observation is the most
effective method of managing the risks associated with
unanticipated conditions.
A Report's Recommendations Are Not Final
Do not overrely on the confirmation -dependent
recommendations included in your report. Confirmation -
dependent recommendations are not final, because
geotechnical engineers develop them principally from
judgment and opinion. Geotechnical engineers can finalize
their recommendations only by observing actual subsurface
conditions revealed during construction. The geotechnical
engineer who developed your report cannot assume
responsibility or liability for the report's confirmation -dependent
recommendations if that engineer does notperform the
geotechnical-construction observation required to confirm the
recommendations' applicability.
A Geotechnical-Engineering Report Is Subject
to Misinterpretation
Other design -team members' misinterpretation of
geotechnical-engineering reports has resulted in costly
Page I A-14
problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical
engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team
after submitting the report. Also retain your geotechnical
engineer to review pertinent elements of the design team's
plans and specifications. Constructors can also misinterpret
a geotechnical-engineering report. Confront that risk by
havingyour geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and
preconstruction conferences, and by providing geotechnical
construction observation.
Do Not Redraw the Engineer's Logs
Geotechnical engineers prepare final boring and testing logs
based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratoiy
data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a
geotechnical-engineering report should never be redrawn
for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings, Only
photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but
recognize that separating logs from the report can elevate risk.
Give Constructors a Complete Report and
Guidance
Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they
can make constructors liable for unanticipated subsurface
conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation.
To help prevent costly problems, give constructors the
complete geotechnical-engineering report, but preface it with
a clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise
constructors that the report was not prepared for purposes
of bid development and that the report's accuracy is limited;
encourage them to confer with the geotechnical engineer
who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/
or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of
information they need or prefer. A prebid conference can also
be valuable. Be sure constructors have sufficient time to perform
additional study. Only then might you be in a position to
give constructors the best information available to you,
while requiring them to at least share some of the financial
responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions.
Read Responsibility Provisions Closely
Some clients, design professionals, and constructors fail to
recognize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than
other engineering disciplines. This lack of understanding
has created unrealistic expectations that have led to
disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce the risk
of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include
a variety of explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes
labeled "limitations," many of these provisions indicate where
geotechnical engineers' responsibilities begin and end, to help
others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read
these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical
engineer should respond fully and frankly.
Environmental Concerns Are Not Covered
The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform
an environmental study differ significantly from those used to
perform a geotechnical study. For that reason, a geotechnical-
engineering report does not usually relate any environmental
findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about
the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks
or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental
problems have led to numerous project failures. If you have not
yet obtained your own environmental information,
ask your geotechnical consultant for risk -management
guidance. Do not rely on an environmental report prepared for
someone else.
Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal
with Mold
Diverse strategies can be applied during building design,
construction, operation, and maintenance to prevent
significant amounts of mold from growing on indoor surfaces.
To be effective, all such strategies should be devised for
the express purpose of mold prevention, integrated into a
comprehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a
professional mold -prevention consultant. Because just a small
amount of water or moisture can lead to the development of
severe mold infestations, many mold- prevention strategies
focus on keeping building surfaces dry. While groundwater,
water infiltration, and similar issues may have been addressed
as part of the geotechnical- engineering study whose findings
are conveyed in this report, the geotechnical engineer in
charge of this project is not a mold prevention consultant;
none of the services performed in connection with the
geotechnical engineer's study were designed or conducted for
the purpose of mold prevention. Proper implementation of the
recommendations conveyed in this report will not of itself be
sufficient to prevent mold fromgrowing in or on the structure
involved.
Rely, on Your GBC-Member Geotechnical Engineer
