January 5, 2023 Mr. Andy Galek True Homes 2649 Brekonridge Centre Drive Charlotte, NC 28110 Email: agalek@truehomesusa.com SUMMIT ENGINEERING • LABORATORY • TESTING A Universal Engineering Sciences Company Subject: Estimated Seasonal High Water Table (ESHWT) Determinations The Glenns II Ansonville Road Wingate, North Carolina SUMMIT Project No. 2022.G0657 Dear Mr. Galek: SUMMIT Engineering, Laboratory and Testing, Inc. (SUMMIT) is pleased to submit this letter summarizing our observations of the soil test borings as related to Estimated Seasonal High Water Table Elevation (ESHWT) determinations in the proposed stormwater BMP ponds to be constructed for the proposed project listed above. This report contains a brief description of the project information provided to us, general site and subsurface conditions revealed during this exploration. PURPOSE OF EXPLORATION The primary purpose of this exploration was to obtain information regarding the subsurface conditions in the proposed stormwater BMP ponds, assess the engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials, and determination of the estimated seasonal high water table mark (if evident). Summary of ESHWT Determinations The Glenns II This report contains the following items: • Site Vicinity Map and Boring Location Plan, SUMMIT Project No. 2022.G0657 January 5, 2023 • Summary of Test Boring Observations, visual soil classifications and descriptions, • A general review of the subsurface soils and estimated seasonal high water table depth from existing ground surface (if evident), • Groundwater level measurements. EXPLORATION PROCEDURES SUMMITvisited the site on December 13t" and 14t", 2022 and performed four (4) soil test borings (identified as SW-26 through SW-29) in the proposed stormwater BMP ponds. The approximate location of the boring is shown on Figure 2 — "Boring Location Plan" provided in Appendix 2. The client (True Homes) provided SUMMIT a plan sheet titled "Bore Exhibit" prepared by dated Yarbrough -Williams & House, Inc., that indicated the approximate locations of the proposed stormwater BMP ponds. The borings were located by professionals from our office using the provided plan, recreation -grade handheld GPS, existing topography, and aerial maps as reference. Since the boring locations were not surveyed, the location of the borings should be considered approximate. We recommend the actual boring location be surveyed to determine the actual boring location and existing ground elevation. The soil test borings were performed using an ATV -mounted CME 550X drill rig. Borings SW-26, SW-27, SW-28, and SW-29 were extended to approximate depths of 6.1, 6.1, 10, and 5.3 feet below the existing ground surface, respectively. Hollow -stem, continuous flight auger drilling techniques were used to advance the boring into the ground. Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed within the mechanical boring continuously to the termination depth in general accordance with ASTM D 1586. When properly evaluated, the SPT results can be used as an index for estimating soil strength and density. In conjunction with the penetration testing, representative soil samples were obtained from the test location and returned to our laboratory for visual classification and potential laboratory testing. The soil samples collected were visually examined and classified in general accordance with ASTM D-2488. The Munsell Soil Color Charts (2009 Revision) were used to identify the hue, value, and chroma of soil samples. Water level Summary of ESHWT Determinations SUMMIT Project No. 2022.G0657 The Glenns II January 5, 2023 measurements were attempted at the termination of drilling. The classification symbols are depicted on the "Boring Log" provided in Appendix 2. GENERALIZED SUBSURFACE STRATIGRAPHY General subsurface conditions observed during our geotechnical exploration are described herein. For more detailed soil descriptions and stratifications at the test location, the respective "Boring Log" provided in Appendix 2 should be reviewed. The horizontal stratification lines designating the interface between various strata represents approximate boundaries. Transitions between different strata in the field may be gradual in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Beginning from the ground surface, a layer of topsoil (surficial organic soils) was observed with a thickness of approximately 3 inches. Beneath the topsoil layer, residual (undisturbed) soils were encountered that consisted of sandy silts (ML). Partially weathered rock (PWR) conditions were encountered in Borings SW-26, SW-27, and SW-29 at approximate depths of 4, 2, and 2 feet below the existing ground surface, respectively. Auger refusal conditions were encountered in Borings SW26, SW-27, and SW-29 at approximate depths of 6.1, 6.1, and 5.3 feet, respectively. GROUNDWATER LEVEL MEASUREMENTS At the time of drilling, groundwater was not observed in the borings. After waiting more than 24 hours, water was not observed in the borings. It should also be noted that groundwater levels tend to fluctuate with seasonal and climatic variations, as well as with some types of construction operations. Therefore, water may be encountered during construction at depths not indicated in the borings performed for this exploration. Summary of ESHWT Determinations SUMMIT Project No. 2022.G0657 The Glenns II January 5, 2023 ESTIMATED SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE ESHWT is defined as the shallowest depth to a wet soil layer as a result of "true" or "permanent" groundwater at any time during the year. The ESHWT is typically identified with a change in the color of the soil layer due to water staining (typically, gray redoximorphic depletions and mottling). Spots or blotches of different color or shades of color interspersed with a dominant color in soil, commonly referred to as mottling. Mottling is a historic indication for the presence of groundwater caused by intermittent periods of saturation and drying, and may be indicative of poor aeration and impeded drainage. Mottling is a "general indication of groundwater" flow through this layer, but it is not known whether the groundwater flow was recent. CONCLUSIONS Based on our observations, ESHWT indicators were not evident in soils sampled in Borings SW- 26, SW-27, SW-28, and SW-29. Please note that even though ESHWT indicators were not evident in the borings perched water conditions can develop, and was observed in Boring SW-28, above a low permeable material such as partially weathered rock (PWR). Perched water conditions differfrom the "true" or "permanent" watertable. A perched watertable is water standing above an unsaturated zone and is often influenced by soil conditions, and occurrence of less permeable soils. Where the ESHWT is defined as the shallowest depth to a wet soil layer as a result of "true" or "permanent" groundwater at any time during the year. The BMP designer should take into consideration that perched water conditions may exist above the low permeable PWR stratum. The following table summarizes the results of the borings and our observations.
