`Soil :Survey .
This'soil is well suited to hardwoods and pines. The
dominant trees are loblolly pine, southern red oak; white
oak, and hickory. The main understory includes
dogwood, holly, sourwood, and sassafras.
Aycock soil is well suited to most urban and
recreational uses. •
This soil is in capability subclass Ile and woodland
suitability group 2o.
BaB=Blaney loamy sand, 2 to 8 percent slopes.
This well.drained soil is on side slopes and narrow ridges
of uplands. It is mostly in the western and northern parts
of Cumberland and Hoke Counties. Individual areas of
this unit typically are in long, narrow bands above and
parallel to; most streams in the sandhills. They range
from 10 acres to over 100 acres in size.
Typically, the surface layer is dark grayish brown
loamy sand 4 inches thick. The subsurface•layer.is.light
yellowish brown loamy sand 21 inches thick. The subsoil,
37 inches thick, is brownish yellow sandy clay. loam in
the upper part and reddish yellow sandy clay'loam in the
'lower part. The underlying material to a depth of-80
inches is yellow.loamy coarse sand.
Permeability is moderately slow, and available water
capacity is low. Reaction is very strongly acid or strongly
acid throughout the soil, except where the surface has
been limed. The hazard of erosion is moderate where
the soil is exposed. A perched water table frequently 'is -
above the brittle subsoil for brief periods after heavy
rains.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of.
more clayey Gilead soils, sandier Candor soils, and
Vaucluse soils, which have a sandy surface layer less
than 20 inches thick. These included soils make up less
than 20 percent of this unit.
Most areas of this soil are in woodland, and the rest
are mainly in row crops or pasture.
This soil is suited to growing cultivated crops, such as
corn, soybeans, tobacco, and small grains. Winter cover
crops, minimum tillage, and crop residue management
help to conserve moisture. Conservation practices, such
as no -till planting and windbreaks, and crop rotations
that include close -growing crops also help to conserve
soil and water. This soil is well suited to Coastal
bermudagrass and bahiagrass. Erosion may be a hazard
where runoff concentrates in cultivated fields.
This soil is suited to loblolly and longleaf pines. The
understory is sassafras and blackjack oak. The brittle
subsoil retards but does not restrict growth of tree roots.
This soil is suited to most urban and recreational uses.
Recreational lakes frequently are made by damming
streams flowing through areas of Blaney soils (fig. 2).
Housing developments often surround these lakes.
Moderately slow permeability in the subsoil may limit the
performance of septic tank absorption fields. The sandy
surface layer is a limitation for some recreational uses.
This soil is in capability, subclass Ills and woodland
sui{ability group 3s. '
BaD—Blaney loamy sand, 8 to 15 percent slopes. -
This well drained soil is on side slopes of uplands. It is
mostly in the western and northern parts of Cumberland
and Hoke Counties. Individual areas.of this unit typically
are in long, narrow bands above and'parallel to most
streams in4he sandhills. They are 10 acres to over 100
acres in'size.
Typically, the surface, layer is dark grayish brown
loamy sand 4 inches thick. The subsurface layer is'light
yellowish brown loamy sand 21 inches thick. The subsoil,
37 inches thick, is brownish yellow sandy clay loam in
the upper part and reddish yellow sandy clay loam in the
lower part.,The underlying material to a depth of 80
i.nches is yellow loamy coarse sand. .
.Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is low. Reaction is very strongly acid or strongly acid
throughout the soil; except where the surface has been
.limed. The hazard of erosion is severe if the soil is
exposed: A perched water table is frequently. above the
brittle subsoil for brief periods after heavy rains.
Included with this soil in.mapping are a few areas of,
soils that have sandy material at a depth of less than 60
inches. Also included are small areas of more clayey
Gilead soils, sandier Candor soils, and Vaucluse soils,
-which have a sandy,surface layer less than 20 inches
thick. These included soils make up less than 20 percent
of this unit.
Most areas of this soil are in woodland, and a small
acreage is in cultivated crops or pasture. Areas of this
soil are being converted to urban uses in many parts of
Cumberland and -Hoke Counties.
This soil is poorly suited to growing cultivated crops.
Steep slopes are susceptible to erosion. If used for row
crops, contour cultivation, striperopping, conservation
tillage, and crop residue management help to reduce
erosion. Using this soil for perennial hay and occasional
row crops is a good conservation alternative. This soil is
suited to grasses and legumes.
This soil is suited to loblolly and longleaf pines. The
understory includes sassafras and blackjack oak. The
brittle subsoil retards, but does not restrict, growth of
tree roots. Care should be taken during tree planting and
harvesting to reduce erosion in disturbed areas.
This soil is suited to most urban and recreational uses.
Recreational lakes frequently are made by damming
streams that flow through areas of Blaney soils. Slope
and moderately slow permeability in the subsoil may limit
the performance of septic tank absorption fields. The
sandy surface layer and slope limit some recreational
uses.
This soil is in capability subclass IVe and woodland
suitability group 3s.

erosion is severe where the soil is exposed. A perched
water table is 1.5 to 2.5 feet below the surface.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
sandier Blaney and Fuquay soils; less clayey Vaucluse
soils; and Dothan soils, which have a thicker, less brittle
subsoil. This Gilead soil has numerous seepage areas on
hillsides. The seeps usually are less than 1 acre in size
and are identified by a special wet spot symbol on the
soil maps. In some mapped areas, short, vertical slopes
have been created by the mass movement of soil down
the hill. These exposed walls usually consist of massive,
gray clay. The included soils make up less than 20
percent of most mapped areas.
Nearly all areas of this soil are in woodland, and a
small acreage is used for pasture.
This soil is poorly suited to growing cultivated crops.
Susceptibility to erosion is the main limitation. Because
of slope, erosion is very difficult to control if cultivated
crops are grown on this soil. Growing grasses or
legumes for hay or pasture is a good conservation
alternative. If this soil is used for pasture, proper
stocking rates, pasture rotation, and restricted use during
wet periods help to keep the pasture and soil in good
condition.
Gilead soil is suited to loblolly and longleaf pines.
There are no significant limitations to woodland use and
management. Care must be taken during planting and
harvesting to limit soil disturbance and reduce erosion.
This soil is suited to most urban and recreational uses.
Wetness, slope, and slow permeability in the clayey
subsoil are limiting factors. The combination of slope,
wetness, and slow permeability results in water seeping
out of the hillside in some areas during wet periods.
Wetness can be a limitation if buildings, houses, waste
disposal systems, or recreational structures are placed in
these seep areas.
This soil is in capability subclass Vle and woodland
suitability group 3o.

thick. The subsoil to a depth of 72 inches is gray silt
loam in the upper part and gray clay loam in the lower
part.
Permeability is moderately slow. Reaction is very
strongly acid or strongly acid throughout the soil, except
where the surface has been limed. The seasonal high
water table is at or near the surface during winter and
early spring.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
more clayey Coxville soils and less silty Rains soils. Also
included are small areas of better drained Dunbar,
Lynchburg, and Nahunta soils. In addition to being better
drained, Dunbar soils are more clayey and Lynchburg
soils are less silty than Grantham soil. These included
soils make up less than 15 percent of most mapped
areas.
Most areas of this soil are in woodland, but a small
acreage is in crops or pasture.
Where drained, Grantham soil is suited to growing
cultivated crops, such as corn and soybeans.
This soil is well suited to grasses and legumes. If this
soil is used for pasture, proper stocking rates, pasture
rotation, timely deferment of grazing, and restricted use
during wet periods help to keep the pasture and soil in
good condition.
Grantham soil is well suited to hardwoods and pines.
The dominant trees are loblolly pine, water oak,

poorly suited to urban and recreational uses.
This soil is in capability subclass Vlw and woodland
suitability group 5w.
Na—Nahunta loam. This nearly level, somewhat
poorly drained soil is on broad, smooth flats of uplands.
It is most extensive in the eastern part of Cumberland
County. Individual areas of this unit are irregular in shape
and range from 5 acres to 60 acres in size.
Typically, the surface is very dark gray loam 4 inches
thick. The subsoil to a depth of 72 inches is brownish
yellow loam in the upper part, brownish yellow clay loam
and gray clay loam in the middle part, and mottled light
gray and yellow clay in the lower part.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is high. Reaction is very strongly acid or strongly acid
throughout the soil, except where the surface has been
limed. The seasonal high water table is 1 foot to 2 feet
below the surface during winter and early spring.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
better drained Exum soils; less silty, better drained
Goldsboro soils; less silty Lynchburg soils; wetter
Grantham soils; and wetter, less silty Rains soils.
Typically, no more than two or three of these included
soils are in any one mapped area, and they make up
less than 20 percent of the unit.
About one-half of this soil is cultivated. The other half
is in woodland or pasture.
Nahunta soil is well suited to growing cultivated crops,
such as corn, soybeans, and small grains. Artificial
drainage is needed for optimum production of tobacco
and other crops that require a drier soil. Minimum tillage,
cover crops, and including grasses and legumes in the
conservation cropping system help to maintain tilth.
This soil is well suited to grasses and legumes for hay
and pasture. If this soil is used for pasture, proper
stocking rates, pasture rotation, timely deferment of
grazing, and restricted use during wet periods help to keep
the pasture and soil in good condition.

more than 80 acres in size.
Typically, the surface layer is dark grayish brown
loamy sand 4 inches thick. The subsurface layer is
yellowish brown loamy sand 5 inches thick. The subsoil
is 51 inches thick. The upper part is yellowish red sandy
clay loam, the middle part is red sandy clay loam, and.
the lower part is yellowish red sandy clay loam. The
underlying material to a depth of 73 inches is reddish
yellow sandy loam.
Permeability is moderately slow in the upper part of
the subsoil and slow in the lower part. Reaction ranges
from extremely acid through strongly acid in all horizons,
except where the surface has been limed. The hazard of
erosion is severe where the soil is exposed.
Included with this soil in mapping are areas of a soil
that is eroded and has a surface layer of gravelly loamy
sand. Also included are more clayey Gilead soils and
sandier Blaney and Candor soils. These included soils
make up less than 20 percent of most mapped areas.
Most areas of this soil are in woodland. A small
acreage is in pasture or in cultivated crops.
Vaucluse soil is poorly suited to growing cultivated
crops. The main limitation is susceptibility to erosion. If
this soil is used for row crops, such practices as
minimum tillage, contour farming, striperopping, grassed
waterways, crop residue management, and including
grasses and legumes in the cropping system help to
reduce runoff and to control erosion.
This soil is suited to grasses and legumes for hay and
pasture. Using this soil for pasture is a good way of
controlling erosion.
This soil is suited to loblolly pine. The dominant trees
are loblolly pine, longleaf pine, white oak, and red oak.
The main understory includes dogwood, sourwood, holly,
and threeawn.
This soil is suited to most urban and recreational uses.
Slope is a limitation to building site development. Erosion
from areas where the soil has been disturbed can be a
problem. To help prevent this, vegetative cover must be
established as soon after soil disturbance as possible.
This soil has severe limitations for onsite sewage
disposal. The restricting factors are slow permeability of
the brittle layer in the subsoil and steepness of slope.
This soil is in capability subclass We and woodland
suitability group 3o.
VgE—Vaucluse-Gilead loamy sands, 15 to 25
percent slopes. This map unit consists of areas of
Vaucluse soil and Gilead soil on long, narrow side
slopes of uplands. This unit is most extensive in the
northern and western parts of Cumberland and Hoke .
Counties. Individual areas of this unit are long and
narrow in shape and range from 5 acres to more than 40
acres in size. These two soils are so intricately mixed
and so similar in use and management that they were
not separated in mapping. This unit consists of about 40
percent Vaucluse soil, 35 percent Gilead soil, and 25
percent soils of minor extent.
Typically, Vaucluse soil has a surface layer of dark
grayish brown loamy sand 4 inches thick. The
subsurface layer is yellowish brown loamy sand 5 inches
thick. The subsoil is 51 inches thick. It is yellowish red
sandy clay loam in the upper part, red sandy clay loam
in the middle part, and yellowish red sandy clay loam in
the lower part. The underlying material to a depth of 73
inches is reddish yellow sandy loam.
Typically, Gilead soil has a surface layer of dark gray
loamy sand 4 inches thick. The subsurface layer is light
yellowish brown loamy sand 9 inches thick. The subsoil
to a depth of 70 inches is brownish yellow sandy clay in
the upper part; mottled strong brown, brownish yellow,
and light gray sandy clay in the middle part; and reddish
yellow sandy loam in the lower part.
Permeability of Vaucluse and Gilead soils is
moderately slow to slow. Available water capacity is low
to medium. Reaction ranges from extremely acid through
strongly acid in all horizons, except where the surface
has been limed. The hazard of erosion is severe where
the soil is exposed. A perched water table is above the
brittle layers in the subsoil for brief periods during wet
seasons.
Included with these soils in mapping are small areas of
sandier Blaney and Candor soils and small areas similar
to Vaucluse and Gilead soils, except for the gravelly
surface layer. Also included are small seep areas where
water draining from the uplands comes to the surface.
This unit has numerous areas where the soil mass has
slipped downslope: This has exposed short, vertical
walls consisting of massive, gray clay. These vertical
faces typically are less than 15 feet high.
Nearly all areas of this unit are in native woodland,
mostly loblolly pine, oaks, and hickories.
These soils are suited to hardwood and pine. The
dominant trees are loblolly pine, longleaf pine, white oak,
and southern red oak. The main understory includes
dogwood, sourwood, holly, and threeawn.
These soils are poorly suited to farming and to urban
and recreational uses. Slope and slow permeability are
the main limitations.
These soils are in capability subclass Vle and
woodland suitability group 3o.

or strongly acid throughout the soil, except where the
surface has been limed.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
sandier Autryville and Candor soils and Fuquay soils,
which contain more than 5 percent plinthite in the
subsoil. Also included are small areas of less sandy
Norfolk and Faceville soils and Goldsboro soils, which .
are wetter and less sandy. Typically, only two or three of
these included soils are in any one mapped area, and
they make up less than 20 percent of most delineations.
Most areas of this soil are in cultivated crops. The rest
are in pasture or woodland.
Wagram soil is suited to cultivated crops, such as
corn, soybeans, tobacco, and truck crops or to grasses
and legumes for hay and pasture. If this soil is used for
cultivated crops, minimum tillage, crop residue
management, winter cover crops, and windbreaks can be
used to control wind erosion, to reduce leaching of plant
nutrients, and to conserve moisture.
This soil is suited to loblolly pine, longleaf pine, white
oak, southern red oak, and hickory. The main understory
includes dogwood, sassafras, and waxmyrtle.
This soil is well suited to most urban uses. Because of
droughtiness, landscape management commonly
includes frequent applications of fertilizer and irrigation
water during long, dry periods. This soil is suited to most
recreational uses. The thick, sandy surface layer can
limit some types of recreational uses.
This soil is in capability subclass Its and woodland
suitability group 3s.
WgB—Wagram-Urban land complex, 0 to 8 percent
slopes. This map unit consists of areas of Wagram soil
and areas of Urban land that are too small and too
intermingled to be mapped separately. About 40 to 50
percent of the unit is Wagram soil and about 30 to 40
percent is Urban land. This map unit is most extensive in
and around the city of Fayetteville. Mapped areas are 10
acres to more than 250 acres in size and are irregular in
shape.
Typically, Wagram soil has a surface layer of grayish
brown loamy sand 8 inches thick. The subsurface layer
is pale brown loamy sand 17 inches thick. The subsoil to
a depth of 72 inches is yellowish brown sandy clay loam.
Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water
capacity is low to medium. Reaction is very strongly acid
or strongly acid throughout the soil, except where the
surface has been limed.
Urban land consists of areas where the original soil
has been covered by concrete, asphalt, buildings, or
other impervious surfaces. Slope is modified to fit the
site and commonly ranges from 0 to 4 percent.
Included in this unit are small areas of Autryville and
Candor soils, which are sandier than Wagram soil, and
small areas of Norfolk and Faceville soils, which are less
sandy than Wagram soil. Also included are small areas
of Fuquay soils, which contain more than 5 percent
plinthite in the subsoil. Some delineations contain small
areas of the wetter, less sandy Goldsboro soils, which
usually are in small depressions. These included soils
make up 10 to 20 percent of most mapped areas.
Undeveloped areas of this soil are being converted to
urban uses very rapidly. This map unit is well suited to
most urban and recreational uses. Because of
droughtiness, landscape management commonly
includes frequent applications of fertilizer and irrigation
water during long, dry periods. The thick, sandy surface
layer can limit some types of recreational uses.
This unit has not been assigned to a capability
subclass or a woodland suitability group.
WmB—Wickham fine sandy loam, 1 to 6 percent
slopes. This well drained soil is on slightly convex ridges
of stream terraces along the Cape Fear River, Lower
Little River, and Rockfish Creek. This soil is in
Cumberland County. Individual areas of this unit are
generally long and narrow in shape and parallel to the
stream channel. Mapped areas range from 5 to 50 acres
in size.
Typically, the surface layer is dark brown fine sandy
loam 7 inches thick. The subsoil is 39 inches thick. It is
red sandy clay loam in the upper part and yellowish red
sandy loam in the lower part. The underlying material to
a depth of 80 inches is yellowish red loamy sand in the
upper part and strong brown sand in the lower part.
Peirmeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is medium. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid
through medium acid in all horizons, except where the
surface has been limed. The hazard of erosion is
moderate. Wickham soil is subject to rare flooding.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
sandier Tarboro soils; wetter Altavista soils; and wetter,
more clayey Dogue, Roanoke, and Wahee soils. Tarboro
soils are on higher ridges, Altavista and Dogue soils are
in slight depressions, and Roanoke and Wahee soils are
along drainageways. These included soils make up less
than 20 percent of most mapped areas.
Most areas of this soil are in cultivated crops or
pasture, and the rest are mostly in woodland. A few
small areas are urban.
Wickham soil is well suited to growing cultivated crops,
such as corn, soybeans, tobacco, and small grains, or to
grasses and legumes for hay and pasture. Susceptibility
to erosion is the main limitation. Minimum tillage, winter
cover crops, striperopping, field borders, farming on the
contour, and crop residue management help to reduce
surface runoff and maintain tilth. The use of this soil for
pasture maintains constant cover and is a good way to
reduce erosion.
This soil is well suited to hardwoods and pines. The
dominant trees are loblolly pine, red maple, hickory,
yellow -poplar, black tupelo, American elm, American
beech, southern red oak, water oak, and white oak. The

DESIGN NARRATIVE
Floyd Properties and Development Inc. is proposing the development and construction of a
subdivision project that will consist of 144 single family lots. The project is located off of NC
Hwy. 401 - Fayetteville Road in the McLauchlin Township of Hoke County.
Figure 1 - USGS
Existing Site Description
The majority of the site has been cleared and has been or is currently being used for crop
lands. The un-disturbed are thickly wooded areas of pine trees, hardwood species and under
story growth, located primary toward the Western and Eastern property lines and at the
entrance to the site. The right-of-way area along Fayetteville Road is regularly maintained
grass. The topography in this area generally slopes from 1% to 10% grades. A ridge line runs
North -South centrally located through the project site with run-off flowing to the East and West.
The East runoff drains to a tributary of Black Branch and the West runoff drains to Beaver

Creek. Black Branch is classified as "C"
the stream Index number is 18-31-19-5-
1, Beaver Creek is classified as "C" the
stream Index number is 18-31-19-5.
Both are with -in the Cape Fear River
basin. Wetlands have been identified in
an area near Beaver Creek. The
wetland will not be disturbed during the
construction of Section 1.
Map 16 of the Hoke County SCS Soil
Survey indicates that the soil types very
greatly in the area of the project, they
consist of (BaB) Blaney Loamy Sand,
(BaD)- Blaney Loamy Sand,
(GoA) Goldsboro Loamy Sand, (NoB)
Norfolk Loamy Sand and (WaB)
Wagram Loamy Sand
Proposed Improvements
The development proposed of this property will consist of a 144-lot single family residential
subdivision, paved access roads, and the necessary onsite utilities. The subdivision will be
accessed at one location off of the existing paved Fayetteville Road, which is to the East of the
property. The proposed construction is limited to 25.5 acres. The development's on site
impervious area will consist of 222,385.74 sf of paved roadways, 63,220.25 sf of concrete curb
and 650,091.11 sf of impervious area for the 144 lots, which is 5,414.52 sf per lot limit. The total
on -site impervious area is 909,532.80 sf, 38.71 % of the 53.94 acre total drainage area.
The proposed site work to include erosion control measures, streets, storm drainage, water line
& sanitary sewer utilities, power, phone and cable type utilities. Existing sanitary sewer is
availability in the area, and will be used to serve project. The subdivision has been designed
with asphalt pavement streets with concrete curbs. All site drainage will be collected by a
series of catch basins that will then direct runoff into storm drainage systems then to the
proposed stormwater BMPs for treatment prior to it being released from the site.
Initially, all clearing will be completed, erosion control measures and sediment basin installed.
Then streets will be graded. Once the site grading activities are completed, then the storm
drainage and water lines will be installed as well as the electrical system. Once that work is
finished, then the streets will be prepared for paving, concrete curb and gutter, soil type base
placed and the asphalt pavement put down. During this portion of the work, the lot areas will
not be disturbed.
The Sediment basin will be left in place until all contributing lot construction is completed and
the associated drainage area is stabilized. Once the erosion control sediment basin is no
longer needed and has been approved for removal, any accumulated sediment will be removed
and the erosion control sediment basin will be reconstructed into the approved Stormwater wet
detention pond which will be used as the permanent stormwater management feature.
All of the proposed impervious areas are located within one of two ("1" or "2") drainage basins.
The amount of impervious area and the use of the curb and gutter and storm pipe collection
systems makes this a high density project, per 15A NCAC 2H.1005 (3a) of the Administrative

Re: Letter of Transmittal and Summary of Testing
Soil Science Report for Erosion Control and Site Drainage Calculations
Tumberry Subdivision, Section
Fayetteville, North Carolina
KAM Project No. 11-066
Dear David:
As requested and authorized, KAM Engineering Services, P.C. is pleased to present the results of the field
testing and observations for the proposed infiltration basins at the proposed Tumberry Subdivision, Section I.
The intent of this testing was to observe the soil profile and the groundwater conditions that will affect the
drainage rate of the proposed basins. At the time of our site work, the preliminary site design had been
completed by MKR, Inc. Our testing was performed at locations provided by our client to be within the floor
of the basin (not including the fore bay). Based upon the site plan provided, the wet basin is designed with a
floor elevation of approximately 227.0 feet.
The controlling parameters for the design and construction of infiltration basins is the depth to Seasonal High
Water Table (SHWT), and the permeability of the soils that should be expected in the floor and berms of the
basin. Any restrictive horizons within the soil profile could substantially affect the drainage capacity of the
basin. Hal Owen & Associates, under contract to KAM Engineering, has assisted with the field work and
reporting for this work as a Licensed Soil Scientist. Mr. Owen's report is included with this cover letter for
reference. The report details the procedures used, and the results of the soil observations and seasonal high
groundwater elevation. Based upon elevations on wooden stakes at the boring location, it appears that
evidence of the seasonal high ground water elevation is at 230.4 feet in location 1, and 232.9 feet at location
2. Because the SHWT was encountered at depths below the preliminary plan depths, our infiltration testing
was performed at a depth of 2 feet above the evidence of SHWT. Therefore, our infiltration testing for
Profile I and Profile 2 was performed at 232.4 feet and 234.9 feet, respectively. Our infiltration testing was
performed with a compact constant head permeameter. Based upon the results of our testing, the soils will
drain at a rate of approximately 0.004 to 0.018 inches per hour.

Reference: Soil Scientist Investigation
Turnberry Subdivision Section 1
Dear Mr. Miller,
A site investigation has been conducted for the above referenced project located south of
Fayetteville Road (US 401), McLauchlan Township, Hoke County; North Carolina. The purpose
of this investigation was to provide a general characterization of the soils in the area proposed for
stormwater management, including a determination of the depth to evidence of a seasonal high
water table. 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.
Soil profile descriptions were collected at the site at two locations as directed by you. A
map indicating the two observation points is attached for your reference. Point number three was
not investigated. Hand powered soil auger borings were advanced in the areas proposed for
stormwater management. The following narrative describes the findings at the site. A full
description of each observation can be found attached to this report.
Profile l: An auger boring was advanced to a depth of 88 inches below ground surface.
Soil morphological characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table (SHWT) were observed
at 82 inches below surface. The ground elevation at this point is given as 237.25 feet above
MSL, meaning the SHWT is at elevation 230.42 feet.
Profile 2: An auger boring was advanced to a depth of 90 inches below ground surface.
Soil morphological characteristics indicating a seasonal high water table (SHWT) were observed
at 68 inches below surface. The ground elevation at this point is given as 238.56 feet above
MSL, meaning the SHWT is at elevation 232.89 feet.
