Bobby N. Setzer State Fish Hatchery Renovation
December 4, 2023
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Bobby N. Setzer State Fish Hatchery Renovation project consists of production and broodstock
raceways, each with a cover structure, hatchery building, intake improvements, public restroom, and
fish effluent waste treatment. The proposed improvements to the hatchery have the desired goal of
replacing the dated and failing infrastructure, while improving operational efficiency and healthy yield of
the fish.
The runoff from the buildings and associated impervious areas will drain through stormwater networks
and discharge to either a constructed wetland on-site, which outlets to Grogan Creek or directly into the
Davidson River just north of the project site.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The Bobby N. Setzer State Fish Hatchery is located in Pisgah National Forest on USDA Forest Service
land and is maintained and operated by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC).
WRC has a Special Use Permit to operate the facility and is renewing it as part of this project.
The project site is located at 1401 Fish Hatchery Road, Brevard NC 28712. The total area of the
property is +/-45.08 acres with +/- 16.5 acres to be disturbed during construction activities. The site is in
the French Broad River Basin and does not reside in an area subject to Riparian Buffer requirements.
The site primarily drains from west to east and there are no existing wetlands on-site.
The impervious areas currently on-site consist of buildings and asphalt pavement. The remaining
pervious area is grass and considered to be in good condition. The soils on-site are a mix of A and B
soils. Most of the A-rated soils are covered up by impervious area, therefore, we assumed B soils in our
model. The project site is bordered by the Davidson River to the north and Grogan Creek to the south,
with small tributaries in between. Both streams are classified as trout and high-quality waters.
BASIS OF DESIGN
Project Density
According to the North Carolina Code of Ordinances, the maximum percent built-upon area for a
low-density project is 12%. Given solely this information, the proposed project would be classified
as a low-density project. However, after discussion with a state stormwater regulator, we will be
following high-density project requirements since stormwater flow will be concentrated into
proposed conveyance systems. See the table below for the proposed built-upon area and project
density calculations. The proposed project introduces 1.87 acres of new impervious area.
Project Density Calculation
Total Property Area 45.08 ac
Existing Built-Upon Area 6.84 ac
Proposed Condition Built-Upon Area 8.71 ac
Project Density 19.3%

Stormwater Management Narrative
Bobby N. Setzer State Fish Hatchery Renovation
December 4, 2023
Stormwater Conveyance
The stormwater networks were designed using the 25-year/5-minute storm intensity with Rational
Method and open channel capacities. See the stormwater pipe calculations in Appendix C for
capacity calculations.
Stormwater Quality
The stormwater control measures have been designed to meet North Carolina requirements by
treating the runoff from the 1" storm for at least the net added impervious area from the project. The
1" design volume was calculated using Discrete NRCS Method for the entire area draining to the
stormwater control measure. Per the NCDEQ Erosion Control Manual, stormwater outlet measures
are required to pass the 10-year/24-hr storm without causing erosion.
METHODOLOGY
Time of Concentration
Time of concentration (ToC) was calculated for the stormwater management models using the
NRCS TR-55 method. Calculated ToC for the stormwater networks were found to be less than 5
minutes. Therefore, an assumed 5-minute minimum ToC was used for all storm drainage pipe
calculations.
Hydrologic Methodology
NRCS TR-20 Method of stormwater analysis was used to model the pre- and post-developed
drainage areas and size stormwater management via HydroCAD. NOAA Atlas 14 Precipitation
Depth Table for the site was used for this method.
Rational Method of stormwater analysis was used to size storm pipes and inlets. NOAA Atlas 14
Precipitation Intensity Table for the site was used for this method.
Site Soils and Cover Type
The NRCS Web Soil Survey Map with Hydrologic Classification Groups was used to assign the
appropriate curve numbers based on the existing soil types and ground covers present on site. The
soils on-site are a mix of A and B soils. Most of the A-rated soils are covered up by impervious
area, therefore, we assumed B soils in our model. The same ground cover curve number
assumptions were made for both the pre- and post-developed site. The curve number for the
impervious areas was assumed to be 98 and the rest of the pervious area was good grass cover
(CN of 61). Composite curve numbers have been calculated for the pervious and impervious areas
separately for the drainage area identified based on the uses defined above and delineated within
each drainage area.

Stormwater Management Narrative
Bobby N. Setzer State Fish Hatchery Renovation
December 4, 2023
DESIGN SUMMARY
The project site consists of three existing stormwater conveyance systems, two of which discharge to
the Davidson River just north of the project site, and one that discharges into Grogan creek to the
south. The system that flows to Grogan Creek first goes to an existing stormwater pond that is no
longer maintained; the pipe discharge of the pond has not been found. The remainder of the site that is
not captured by existing stormwater conveyance measures sheet flow towards both Davidson River
and Grogan Creek.
The flow patterns of the stormwater conveyance systems will be relatively similar between existing and
proposed conditions. The post development conveyance systems will continue to discharge to the
same analysis points in the existing condition.
Stormwater Conveyance
The site contains multiple stormwater networks that convey stormwater either into the Davidson
River or the proposed wetland. These stormwater networks capture runoff from the impervious
areas from the building structures and the associated roads and parking areas. The stormwater
networks have been designed to convey the 25-year storm. See the stormwater pipe drainage
areas map and calculations in Appendix B and D for additional information.
Stormwater Quality— Stormwater Wetland
The stormwater wetland was dimensioned and designed using both the NCDEQ Stormwater
Design Manual Section C-4 and the Stormwater Wetland Calculations spreadsheet provided in
Appendix E. The wetland's temporary pool volume has been sized based off the 1" design volume
as calculated in the Discrete NRCS Method in Appendix E. The emergency overflow is activated
during the 100-year storm event. Note that where the NCDEQ Stormwater Design Manual Section
C-4 guidelines differ from the NCDEQ Wet Detention Basin Supplement guidelines, the Design
Manual was used. A summary of all Minimum Design Criteria (MDC) for Stormwater Wetlands are
provided in the table below:

The wetlands captures and treats just over 3 acres of impervious area, both proposed and existing.
This far exceeds the amount of impervious area introduced as part of this project.
Permanent Ditches
Permanent ditches were dimensioned and designed with NCDEQ Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual Section 6.21. The ditches were designed for the 25-year storm. The
flows and velocities utilized for sizing were sourced from both the stormwater network calculations
and Hydraflow Civil3D extension.

Notes:
1. Inlet control capacities are calculated using Equation 28 located in the Federal Highway Administration publication HDS-5-Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts
2.Calculations do not take into account reduced flow on account of oversized pipe and outlet control structure.
3.Assumed flow of existing storm pipes crossing under US HWY-64 were determined by full pipe capacity at their as-built slope&depth.
4.See plan sheets for Temporary Stream Crossing details.

Discrete NRCS Curve Number Method for Runoff Depth Project Description: etzer
(Procedure and Calculations taken from NCDEQ Stormwater BMP Manual,3/15/17 Revisionl Project Number:!9.00124
Date: 1/21/2023
Note:This calculation is to be used in lieu of the Simple Method when combined with any HydroCAD modeling.
Step 1:Determine Hydrologic Soils Group for the drainage area.
Step 2:Divide the drainage area into land uses and assign appropriate curve numbers. Proposed Condition
Step 3:Determine the precipitation depth,P.P is location specific.
Step 4:Compute runoff depth,Q,for any built upon area.
Step 5:Compute runoff depth,Q.,for the remainder of the drainage area.
Step 6:Compute runoff volume from Q(built upon areas).
Step 7:Compute runoff volume from Q.(remainder of drainage area).
Step 8:Computer total runoff volume.
Step 1:Determine Hydrologic Soils Group for the drainage area.
Using the USDA Web Soil Survey website below,locate project area and determine best fit HSG.
htlps://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm
Hydrologic Soils Group: (A,B,C,or D)

Step 3:Determine the precipitation depth,P.P is location specific.
Precipitation Depth: in
P is 1.5"in Coastal Counties and I"elsewhere.In SA waters,the DV is the difference between runoff volume pre-versus post-development for the 10-year storm(read value from the NOAA
web site,using a storm duration equal to the time of concentration).
Step 4:Compute runoff depth,Q,for any built upon area directly linked to surface waters(Conveyed through pipe).
*All built upon areas should be using a CN of 98 for this step.

Q=-in
S = 1000 _ 10

CN = Curve number(unitless)

Where: Q• = Runoff depth(in)

Step 5:Compute runoff depth,Q*,for the remainder of the drainage area.

1 Precipitation frequency(PF)estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series(PDS).
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90%confidence interval.The probability that precipitation frequency estimates
(for a given duration and average recurrence interval)will be greater than the upper bound(or less than the lower bound)is 5%.Estimates at upper
bounds are not checked against probable maximum precipitation(PMP)estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values.
Please refer to NOAA Atlas 14 document for more information.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs)or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist(http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5

Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
11

Custom Soil Resource Report
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
12

Custom Soil Resource Report
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

SECTION 1.PROJECT INFORMATION
1.1 AUTHORIZATION
This exploration was performed as described in Bunnell-Lammons Engineering (BLE) Draft Proposal of
April 13,2021 and authorized by Mr. Kyle Seaman,P.E.by Task Order#2 on September 8, 2021.
1.2 SCOPE OF EXPLORATION
This report details the findings and recommendations of the geotechnical exploration performed for the
proposed renovations as detailed in Table 1-1.

In anticipation of the drilling encountering large, impenetrable boulders and cobbles, a specialized drilling
unit of the sonic variety was mobilized to the site. This type of drill rig is capable of penetrating the
expected boulders and cobbles and is equipped with the tooling to enable collection of Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) samples to enable stratification of the encountered soils and collection of SPT N-values to be
used as the basis of BLE's design recommendations. Typical geotechnical drilling is conducted with steel
augers which are generally not able to penetrate the cobbles and boulders common to this setting. In
addition to the SPT testing,McGill had requested the capability of long-term groundwater measurements.
BLE recommended the use of simple, inexpensive, standpipe piezometers at the locations requested.
Accordingly, hand-slotted, PVC pipes were installed at B-3, B-5, B-8, and B-9 to the bottom of the open
borehole before backfilling. The water levels on those boring logs represent the initial reading of the
standpipe piezometers.
1.3 PROJECT INFORMATION
The Setzer Fish Hatchery property is a mountainous tract located in the Pisgah National Forest in
Transylvania County North Carolina off US 276 on a local road known as Government Road (a.k.a. US
Forest Service Road #475). The property is bounded on the north by the aforementioned road and the
Davidson River. The site is understood to have been developed by placement of earth fill and straightening
a section of the Davidson River near its confluence with Grogan Creek. The development has created a
broad, flat section on which prior facilities were built and the new structures and renovated structures are
to be constructed.

1.4 SITE AND GEOLOGIC FEATURES
The site area has typical mountainous characteristics for Western North Carolina with ground elevations
ranging from over 3900 feet above msl (Looking Glass Rock) to below 2400 feet above msl in the
drainageway of the Davidson River and Grogan Creek. The property is mostly wooded except for those
portions which have undergone development for the Fish Hatchery. No additional land clearing is indicated
by the provided plans.
The site is located in the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province. The bedrock in this region is a complex
crystalline formation that has been faulted and contorted by past tectonic movements. A notable shear zone
(i.e.the Brevard Fault Zone)gains its name from the nearby Town of Brevard,NC and is considered to be
associated with the Appalachian Orogeny,during which the surrounding mountains and folded valleys and
ridges to the northwest were formed. The bedrock in the area is mapped as gneissic, metamorphic rock
with significant amounts of micaceous minerals. Also mapped within the nearby units are occasional units
of mica schist. Finally, intrusive igneous rocks are also present in the region. Looking Glass Rock is one
such exposure of the Whiteside Granite,considered to be a volcanic pluton intruded into the older gneissic
rocks. Granitic rocks are not expected in the subsurface in the immediate area of the site.
The rock has weathered to residual soils which form the mantle for the hillsides and hilltops. The typical
residual soil profile in areas not disturbed by erosion or human activities consists of clayey soils near the
surface where weathering is more advanced,underlain by sandy silts and silty sands. The boundary between
soil and rock is not sharply defined,and there often is a transitional zone,termed"partially weathered rock,"
overlying the parent bedrock. Partially weathered rock is defined, for engineering purposes, as residual
material with a standard penetration resistance of at least 100 blows per foot(bpf). Weathering is facilitated
by fractures,joints, and the presence of less resistant rock types. Consequently,the profile of the partially
weathered rock and hard rock is quite irregular and erratic, even over short horizontal distances. Also,it is
not unusual to find lenses and boulders of hard rock and/or zones of partially weathered rock within the soil
mantle,well above the general bedrock level.
In addition to the residual profile the Davidson River and its tributaries(Grogan Creek, for instance)have,
over many millennia, deposited many layers of alluvial soils of a clastic nature, including the cobbles and
boulders described in an earlier paragraph. Finally, the area of prior development has been graded to its
current level and slope by the placement of man-placed fill(s)to raise the grade out of the flooding potential

from the Davidson River. Despite these efforts,we are advised that the crest of the Davidson River exceed
the grades at the hatchery site during Tropical Storm Fred in August of 2021.
1.5 LIMITATIONS
This exploration is preliminary in nature with widely spaced data points(borings). These data and should be
used for general site planning, feasibility evaluation, and general foundation design only. Because of the
relatively limited information available at this stage of the project, foundation design and site preparation
recommendations may require supplemental exploration and additional analysis. Bunnell-Lammons
Engineering should be retained to consult with the designer during design,and construction phases to be sure
that the preliminary recommendations are properly interpreted and further developed as necessary.
Our evaluation and recommendations for this preliminary geotechnical exploration has been based on our
understanding of the project and site information and data obtained in our exploration and provided to us. The
general subsurface conditions utilized in our evaluations and analyses are based on interpolation of subsurface
data between the widely spaced soil test borings. The assessment of site environmental conditions or presence
of pollutants in the soil,rock,and ground water of the site was beyond the scope of this exploration.
SECTION 2.DAVIDSON RIVER INTAKE
2.1 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
The Davidson River Intake is an existing facility which is to be renovated by the addition of a Grit Chamber
located about 50 feet to the south of the existing structure and connected by piping. The chamber is a 20-foot
diameter concrete unit with a sloping bottom to separate larger fractions from any sediment load.
The approximate elevations for the various structural elements are as shown in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Elevations

Floor of Existing Intake 2358.05
Top of Existing Intake 2371.88
Inlet to Grit Chamber(centerline) 2353.16
Invert of Grit Chamber 2339.25
Bottom Grit Chamber 2338.75±
Subsurface conditions at this structure were evaluated by review of samples from Boring B-1. Boring B-1
encountered approximately 3 to 5 feet of fill underlain by soils BLE interprets to be of residual origin. Residual
soils and Partially Weathered Rock extend to the terminal depth of the boring at 25 feet. Based on an
approximate ground surface elevation of 2368 at B-1,BLE considers the strata elevations and SPT Resistance
(blows per foot)shown in Table 2-2 to be applicable to this location.

Bottom of Boring 2342 -
Below the shallow stratum of fill, Boring B-1 encountered soils with a relatively high density and strength.
Additionally,Boring B-1 did not encounter large,cobbles or boulders but rather rock fragments of fine gravel
size that may have been a component of the fill or rock fragments created by the drilling. Some of the N-values
in this stratum may have been inflated by the gravel or rock fragments.
Groundwater was encountered in Boring B-1 at a depth of just over 5 feet(approximate elevation 2362)at the
time of drilling
2.2 ASSESSMENT
Soils or weathered rock having more than sufficient strength and sufficiently low compressibility are present
to the depths drilled in this boring and expected to be present even deeper. Applied stresses from the grit
chamber are expected to be less than about 3000 pounds per square foot(psf).
The shallow groundwater encountered is of concern from the standpoint of excavation wall and bottom stability
for the expected 31-foot excavation. Also,buoyant forces on the sealed structure are expected to exceed the
dead load when the structure is in a de-watered condition.
Excavation by conventional methods and equipment is considered to be feasible at this location. That is,large
rock or fragments of rock are not expected to be encountered above the bearing level. On the other hand,the
depth of excavation is substantial and groundwater issues will be substantial. The use of a braced excavation
will likely be required for placement of this unit "in the dry". If excavation "in the wet" is planned sloped
excavation and tremie placement of concrete will be almost inevitable.
2.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
Allowable bearing at the foundation level of in excess of 4,000 psf is available at this location,providing the
bottom of the excavation is stable and not subject to disturbance by seepage forces. BLE recommends
resistance to buoyant forces be provided by increased mass concrete or by reinforced concrete foundation
beyond the perimeter of the structure(i.e.,a lip)reacting against the overlying backfill. Anchors bonded into
the PWR subgrade are also feasible,but are not considered the most practical solution. Further consideration
of the excavation,shoring,and other means and methods of this construction will be required.

SECTION 3. GROGAN CREEK INTAKE
3.1 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
The Grogan Creek Intake is an existing facility which is to be renovated by the addition of a Grit Chamber
located about 40 feet to the west of the existing structure and connected by piping. In addition, a wet well
structure will attach to the Grit Chamber. The Grit Chamber is a 10-foot diameter,pre-cast concrete unit with
a sloping bottom to separate larger fractions from any sediment load. The wet well is also a pre-cast concrete
structure with a flat bottom.
The approximate elevations for the various structural elements of the renovation are as shown in Table 3-1.

Subsurface conditions at this structure were evaluated by review of samples from Boring B-2. Boring B-2
encountered approximately 6 feet of fill underlain by soils BLE interprets to be of residual origin. Residual
soils and Partially Weathered Rock extend to the terminal depth of the boring at 25 feet. Based on an
approximate ground surface elevation of 2379 at B-2,BLE considers the strata elevations and SPT Resistance
(blows per foot)shown in Table 3-2 to be applicable to this location.

Groundwater was encountered in Boring B-2 at a depth of 4 feet(approximate elevation 2375)at the time of
drilling.

3.2 ASSESSMENT
Soils or weathered rock having more than sufficient strength and sufficiently low compressibility are present
to the depths drilled in this boring and expected to be present even deeper. Applied stresses from the grit
chamber are expected to be less than about 1700 pounds per square foot(psf).
The shallow groundwater encountered is of concern from the standpoint of excavation wall and bottom stability
for the expected 20-foot excavation. Also,buoyant forces on the sealed structure are expected to exceed the
dead load when the structure is in a de-watered condition.
Excavation by conventional methods and equipment is considered to be feasible at this location. That is,large
rock or fragments of rock are not expected to be encountered above the partially weathered rock stratum. On
the other hand the depth of excavation is substantial and groundwater issues will be substantial. The use of a
braced excavation will likely be required for placement of this unit"in the dry". If excavation"in the wet"is
planned sloped excavation and tremie placement of concrete will be almost inevitable.
3.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
Allowable bearing at the foundation level of in excess of 5,000 psf is available at this location,providing the
bottom of the excavation is stable and not subject to disturbance by seepage forces. BLE recommends
resistance to buoyant forces be provided by increased mass concrete or by reinforced concrete foundation
beyond the perimeter of the structure (i.e a lip) reacting against the overlying backfill. Anchors bonded into
the PWR subgrade are also feasible but are not considered the most practical solution. Further consideration
of the excavation,shoring,and other means and methods of this construction will be required.
SECTION 4.EQUALIZATION BASIN
4.1 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
The Equalization Basin is new facility which will equalize flow from various elements of the total system.
The basin is essentially a shallow concrete box with ten penetrations by pipes of between 4 inches and 30
inches in diameter.
The approximate elevations for the various structural elements of the new facility are as shown in Table 4-1.

Subsurface conditions at this structure were evaluated by review of samples from Boring B-3. Boring B-3
encountered approximately 8 feet of fill underlain by soils BLE interprets to be of alluvial origin,thence soils
BLE interprets to be of residual origin. Residual soils extend to the terminal depth of the boring at 20 feet.

Based on an approximate ground surface elevation of 2355 at B-3,BLE considers the strata elevations and SPT
Resistance(blows per foot)shown in Table 4-2 to be applicable to this location.
Table 4-2 Strata Elevations
Stratum Elevation(approx.) SPT Resistance(bpf)

Bottom of Boring 2335 -
Below the stratum of fill, Boring B-3 encountered soils with a moderately high density and strength.
Additionally, Boring B-3 did not encounter large cobbles or boulders but did encounter an alluvial soil with
rounded rock fragments. Some of the N-values in this stratum may have been inflated by the gravel or rock
fragments.
Groundwater was encountered in Boring B-3 at a depth of 7 feet(approximate elevation 2348)at the time of
drilling and at a depth of 6 feet(approximate elevation 2349)24 hours after drilling.
4.2 ASSESSMENT
Fill soils at this location at the bottom of structure depth are not considered to have sufficient strength or
sufficiently low compressibility to support even the low imposed loading at this location. However, soils
having sufficient strength and compressibility are present slightly below the plan depth. Applied stresses from
the equalization basin are expected to be less than about 500 pounds per square foot(psf).
The groundwater encountered at this location is expected to be below the level of excavation, and probable
undercut for subgrade stabilization. Buoyant forces,if any,on the sealed structure are not expected to exceed
the dead load when the structure is in a de-watered condition.
Excavation by conventional methods and equipment is considered to be feasible at this location.
4.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
Allowable bearing at the foundation level,after remedial undercut and replacement,of in excess of 2,000 psf
will be available at this location,providing the bottom of the excavation is stable and not subject to disturbance
by seepage forces. BLE recommends that remedial work consisting of undercut/replacement to at least 2 feet
below the bottom of the structure be completed and the undercut volume be replaced by select granular material
back to the structure subgrade elevation. The granular material may consist of either open-graded stone such
as#57 or dense-graded stone such as NC DOT ABC Stone. The selection may be based on the groundwater
condition at the time of construction. If groundwater is encountered in the excavation,the open-graded stone
will be the preferred option. The granular material should be compacted in lifts not exceeding 12 inches using
methods appropriate for the gradation.

SECTION 5.NEW BROODSTOCK RACEWAYS
5.1 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
The New Broodstock Raceways are shallow concrete structures with a hydraulic flow caused by a gradient
between the inflow end of the structure and the outflow end of the structure. The floor of the structure slopes
at 0.5 percent from the inlet end to the effluent end of the structure
The approximate elevations for the various structural elements are as shown in Table 5-1.

Subsurface conditions at this structure were evaluated by review of samples from Boring B-4. Boring B-4
encountered approximately 6 feet of fill underlain by soils BLE interprets to be of alluvial origin,thence soils
BLE interprets to be of residual origin. Residual materials extend to the terminal depth of the boring at 10 feet.
Based on an approximate ground surface elevation of 2357 at B-4,BLE considers the strata elevations and SPT

Below the stratum of fill,Boring B-4 encountered soils with a high density and strength. Additionally,Boring
B-4 did not encounter large cobbles or boulders but did encounter an alluvial soil with rounded rock fragments.
Some of the N-values in this stratum may have been inflated by the gravel or rock fragments.
Groundwater was encountered in Boring B-4 at a depth of 5.3 feet approximate elevation 2352)at the time of
drilling. The boring caved at a depth of 7 feet at the end of the day.
5.2 ASSESSMENT
Fill soils at this location at the bottom of structure depth are not considered to have sufficient strength or
sufficiently low compressibility to support even the low imposed loading at this location,despite the relatively

high N-values. However, soils having sufficient strength and compressibility are present slightly below the
plan depth. Applied stresses from the Broodstock Raceways are expected to be less than about 400 pounds per
square foot(psf).
The groundwater encountered at this location is expected to be below the level of excavation, and probable
undercut for subgrade stabilization. Buoyant forces,if any,on the structure are not expected to exceed the dead
load when the structure is in a de-watered condition.
Excavation by conventional methods and equipment is considered to be feasible at this location.
5.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
Allowable bearing at the foundation level, after remedial undercut and replacement, of in excess of 2,000 psf
will be available at this location,providing the bottom of the excavation is stable and not subject to disturbance
by seepage forces. BLE recommends that remedial work consisting of undercut/replacement to at least 2 feet
below the bottom of the structure be completed and the undercut volume be replaced by select granular material
back to the structure subgrade elevation. The granular material may consist of either open-graded stone such

condition at the time of construction. If groundwater is encountered in the excavation,the open-graded stone
will be the preferred option. The granular material should be compacted in lifts not exceeding 12 inches using
methods appropriate for the gradation.
SECTION 6.NEW EFFLUENT PUMP STATION
6.1 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
The New Effluent Pump Station will replace existing facilities for that purpose and will consist of a pre-cast,
10-foot diameter, wet well connected to two pre-cast, rectangular valve vaults by 12-inch diameter piping.
The plans for the wet well show an extended mat slab(i.e. a lip) supporting the pre-cast section,presumably
for buoyant resistance.
The vaults are also precast and the tops of the vaults will match the top of the wet well;however,the bottom
elevations are substantially higher than the bottom of the wet well. Vault bottom elevations are not shown on
the plans;but BLE estimates the bottom elevations at about 2336±.
The approximate elevations for the various structural elements are as shown in Table 6-1.

Subsurface conditions at this structure were evaluated by review of soil samples from Boring B-5. Boring B-
5 encountered approximately 6 feet of fill underlain by soils BLE interprets to be of residual origin. Residual
materials extend to the terminal depth of the boring at 10 feet. Based on an approximate ground surface
elevation of 2343 at B-5, BLE considers the strata elevations and SPT Resistance (blows per foot) shown in
Table 5-2 to be applicable to this location.
Table 6-2 Strata Elevations

Ground Surface(top of fill) 2343 21<N<23
Top of Residual Soil(bottom of fill) 2337 55<N<64
Bottom of Boring 2333 -
Below the stratum of fill,Boring B-5 encountered soils with a high density and strength. Additionally,Boring
B-5 did not encounter large cobbles or boulders but did encounter rounded rock fragments in the fill stratum.
The N-values in this stratum are considered to have been inflated by the gravel or rock fragments.
Groundwater was encountered in Boring B-5 at a depth of 6 feet(approximate elevation 2337)at the time of
drilling at a depth of 5.5 feet 24 hours after drilling.
6.2 ASSESSMENT
Soils or weathered rock having more than sufficient strength and sufficiently low compressibility are present
to the depths drilled in this boring and expected to be present even deeper. Applied stresses from the effluent
pump station are expected to be less than about 1000 pounds per square foot (psf). The vault structures are
expected to apply very low stresses at the foundation level and are likely to penetrate the fill soils found in
Boring B-5.
The shallow groundwater encountered is of concern from the standpoint of excavation wall and bottom stability
for the expected 14-foot excavation. Also,buoyant forces on the structure are expected to exceed the dead load
when the structure is in a de-watered condition. The plans for the station detail an extended base slab that
presumably is for the purpose of resisting buoyant forces.
Excavation by conventional methods and equipment is considered to be feasible at this location. That is,large
rock or fragments of rock are not expected to be encountered. On the other hand the depth of excavation is
substantial and groundwater issues may be substantial. Additionally,the unit is close to the existing raceways
and a sloped excavation at this location is probably not feasible to avoid undermining the existing structure.
The use of a braced excavation will likely be required for placement of this unit"in the dry".
6.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
Allowable bearing at the foundation level, after remedial undercut and replacement, of in excess of 4,000 psf
will be available at this location,providing the bottom of the excavation is stable and not subject to disturbance
by seepage forces.

SECTION 7.PRODUCTION RACEWAYS
7.1 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
BLE understands that new Production Raceways may be built to replace the existing raceways due to some
damage caused by August 2021 flooding from Tropical Storm Fred. At the time of this report,that decision
had not been shared with BLE. New raceways are depicted on the plans, and those, similar to the existing
raceways, will be shallow, concrete, rectangular"boxes". The new raceways number eight, each, and may
replace the twelve,longer,existing raceways,
The approximate elevations for the various structural elements are as shown in Table 7-1.

Subsurface conditions at this structure were evaluated by review of soil samples from Boring B-5,B-6,and B-
8. These boring encountered approximately 6 to 8 feet of fill underlain by soils BLE interprets to be of either
alluvial or residual origin. Residual materials extend to the terminal depth of the borings at 10 to 15 feet. Based
on ground surface elevations as shown in Table 7-2,BLE considers the strata elevations and SPT Resistance
(blows per foot)shown in Table 7-2 to be applicable to this location.

Below the stratum of fill, Borings B-5, B-6, and B-8 encountered soils with a high density and strength.
Additionally, these borings did not encounter large cobbles or boulders but did encounter rounded rock
fragments in the fill stratum. The N-values in the fill stratum are considered to have been inflated by the gravel
or rock fragments.
Groundwater was encountered in these borings at depths of 6 to 8 feet at the time of drilling and at similar
depths 24 hours after drilling.

7.2 ASSESSMENT
Fill soils at this location at the bottom of structure depth are not considered to have sufficient strength or
sufficiently low compressibility to support even the low imposed loading at this location, despite some
relatively high N-values. However, soils having sufficient strength and compressibility are present slightly
below the plan depth. Applied stresses from the equalization basin are expected to be less than about 550
pounds per square foot(psf).
The groundwater encountered at this location is expected to be below the level of excavation and probable
undercut for subgrade stabilization. Buoyant forces,if any,on the structure are not expected to exceed the dead
load when the structure is in a de-watered condition.
Excavation by conventional methods and equipment is considered to be feasible at this location.
7.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
Allowable bearing at the foundation level, after remedial undercut and replacement, of in excess of 2,000 psf
will be available at these locations, providing the bottom of the excavation is stable and not subject to
disturbance by seepage forces. BLE recommends that remedial work consisting of undercut/replacement to at
least 2 feet below the bottom of the structure be completed in a mass grading operation for all production
raceways at one time,rather than a piece-meal approach applied to each of the 8 raceways. The undercut should
be shaped such that at least 2 feet of select granular material is under the bottom of each raceway. The undercut
volume should be replaced by select granular material back to the structure subgrade elevation. The granular
material should consist of a dense-graded stone such as NC DOT ABC Stone. The undercut subgrade should
be observed for adequate stability and proof rolled as defined in Section 10 of this report. The granular material
should be compacted in lifts not exceeding 12 inches using methods appropriate for the gradation.
SECTION 8.PROPOSED HATCHERY BUILDING
8.1 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
New Rearing Tanks are planned for within the building envelope of the existing Hatchery Building. The New
Rearing Tanks are shallow concrete structures with a hydraulic flow caused by a gradient between the inflow
end of the structure and the outflow end of the structure. The floor of the structure slopes from the inlet end
to the effluent end of the structure. Actual water surface elevations and tank elevations are not depicted on
the plans; however the tanks are shown to be constructed atop the existing slab of the existing Hatchery
Building and impound less than 4 feet of water.
Subsurface conditions at this structure were evaluated by review of samples from Boring B-7. Boring B-7 was
drilled to the specified depth(5 feet)and encountered fill throughout its depth.
Groundwater was not encountered in Boring B-7 at the depth drilled.
8.2 ASSESSMENT
The fill soils present at this location are soft,but variable, at the level of bottom of the existing building slab.
The addition of the Rearing Tanks to the existing slab would be expected to be stable but could be expected to
impact the serviceability of the existing slab. That is, the existing slab could deflect, crack, and shift in
12 of 15

unpredictable ways. Such cracking and shifting could cause an upset in the hydraulic performance of the tanks.
Applied stresses from the Rearing Tanks are expected to be less than about 400 pounds per square foot(psf),
probably in excess of the original slab design live load.
The groundwater encountered at this location is expected to be below the level of excavation, and probable
undercut for subgrade stabilization. Buoyant forces,if any,on the structure are not expected to exceed the dead
load when the structure is in a de-watered condition.
Excavation by conventional methods and equipment,including saw-cutting of the reinforced concrete slab,is
considered to be feasible at this location.
8.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
BLE recommends additional detailed assessment of the structural condition of the slab. If the slab condition is
questionable in any way and if the hydraulic performance of the new tanks is in question,BLE recommends
removal of a section of the existing slab by saw cutting the slab and undercutting and replacement of the soft
fill immediately beneath the slab. The depth of undercut should be established by inspection at the time of
construction. BLE, on the basis of Boring B-7, opines that a 2-foot undercut and replacement would yield a
bearing value of at least 2,000 psf. BLE further recommends that the undercut volume be replaced by select
granular material back to the structure subgrade elevation. The granular material may consist of either open-
graded stone such as#57 or dense-graded stone such as NC DOT ABC Stone. The selection may be based on
the groundwater condition at the time of construction. If groundwater is encountered in the excavation, the
open-graded stone will be the preferred option. The granular material should be compacted in lifts not
exceeding 12 inches using methods appropriate for the gradation.
SECTION 9. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
9.1 DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
The area designated for Potential Future Development is located in an existing parking area to the east of the
other developments and east of the existing access bridge. Types of structures planned are unknown to BLE;
however,the conditions encountered in Borings B-8 and B-9 are not appreciably different than those in other
areas of the site. Strata elevations as interpreted by BLE from the borings are shown in Table 9-1.
Groundwater was encountered in this area at a depth of about 6 to 7 feet below the ground surface.

Setzer Fish Hatchery Renovation—Pisgah Forest,NC BLE Project No.J20-14503-02
9.2 ASSESSMENT
The fill soils present at this location are loose and their condition is not reflected by the high SPT N-values.
Those values are considered to be inflated by the presence of gravels and cobbles in both the fill and alluvial
strata. BLE would expect that most foundations related to the future development would be required to
penetrate the fill and bear in either firm to dense alluvium or undisturbed residual materials. Potential bearing
capacity in these strata would exceed 3500 psf for lightly-loaded structures.
The groundwater encountered at these locations is expected to be below the level of excavation, and probable
undercut for most-likely subgrade stabilization measures. Excavation by conventional methods and equipment
is considered to be feasible at this location.
9.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
BLE recommends additional detailed assessment in this area based on final development plans. As noted in
the preceding paragraph,reasonably high strength materials are present at expected foundation levels.
SECTION 10.0 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
10.1 STRUCTURAL FILL
Soil used for backfilling under and around the proposed structures or for raising site grades should be a low
plasticity sandy silt or silty sand material that is uniformly compacted in thin lifts to at least 95 percent of the
standard Proctor maximum dry density(ASTM D698). The soil to be used in the structural fill should contain
no more than 3 percent organic matter by weight and should be free of roots,limbs,other deleterious material
and rocks larger than 3 inches in diameter.
The moisture content of the compacted new soil fill should be maintained within plus or minus 3 percent of
the optimum moisture content as determined from the standard Proctor compaction test during placement and
compaction. This provision may require the contractor to dry soils during periods of wet weather or to wet
soils during dry periods. Material should be evaluated as it is excavated to determine if suitable for reuse.
Before filling operations begin,representative samples of each proposed fill material should be collected and
tested to determine the compaction and classification characteristics. The maximum dry density and optimum
moisture content should be determined. Once compaction begins, a sufficient number of field density tests
should be performed by an experienced engineering technician working under the direction of the BLE
geotechnical engineer to measure and document the degree of compaction being obtained.
The surface of compacted subgrade soil can deteriorate and lose its support capabilities when exposed to
environmental changes and construction activity. Deterioration can occur in the form of freezing,formation
of erosion gullies, extreme drying, and exposure for a long period of time or rutting by construction traffic.
We recommend that the surfaces of all structure subgrades that have deteriorated or softened be recompacted
prior to construction of the structure. Additionally,any excavations through the subgrade soils(such as utility
trenches) should be properly backfilled in compacted lifts. Recompaction of subgrade surfaces and
compaction of backfill should be checked with a sufficient number of density tests to determine and document
that adequate compaction is being achieved.

Report of Geotechnical Evaluation December 8,2021
Setzer Fish Hatchery Renovation—Pisgah Forest,NC BLE Project No.J20-14503-02
The recommendations herein require the use of select granular materials in some undercut/replacement
situations. Two gradations are acceptable: First, open graded stone is recommended where the undercut
subgrade appears to be experiencing disturbance by seepage forces. Second, a dense graded stone is
recommended where dry stable undercut subgrade is present. The open-graded stone should be consistent
with #57 stone, while the dense-graded stone should conform to NCDOT Aggregate Base Course (ABC)
stone. Select granular material should be compacted to 98 percent of the material's standard Proctor density
(ASTM D698). Compaction should be done by methods suitable for the respective gradations. Wherever an
open-graded stone is employed adjacent to a fine-grained material, a geosynthetic having appropriate
separation properties should be specified.
10.2 SUBGRADE ACCEPTANCE
All subgrades that will be subjected to structural loading or which have been undercut for removal of
existing fill or deleterious materials should be observed and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer of
Record. The acceptance may include probing/testing by mechanical means or, for large areas, by proof
rolling using heavily loaded,pneumatic-tired vehicles.
10.3 DIFFICULT EXCAVATION
As noted in an earlier paragraph,BLE anticipated that,given the setting of this site,many layers of boulder-
laden materials may be encountered. The current configuration of the site suggests that some reorientation of
the Davidson River may have occurred leaving original channel ways buried under fill strata. The widely
spaced borings made for this exploration did not encounter such materials. Nevertheless,there remains a fair
probability that such buried channels and other zones of cobbles and boulders may be encountered in the
subsurface during structural excavation. Based on off-site observations such zones will be excavatable by
heavy-duty excavator, but problems could arise with pipe-line excavations in maintaining the walls and
bottoms of trenches where these zones are encountered.
10.4 GROUNDWATER CONTROL
All of the borings encountered groundwater, some within the expected construction depths of the various
developments. Excavation for deeper structures or possible deep undercutting operations could encounter
groundwater. Excavations could also encounter perched groundwater within the existing fill/residual
materials above the general ground water level. None of the materials(fill,alluvium,residuum)encountered
by the borings will readily lend themselves to dewatering by conventional (pumped well-points, or similar)
methods,but will require pumping from open excavations and stabilization of the walls and bottoms of such
excavations by external means. Specifically, both of the Grit Chambers that are a part of these renovations
will likely require braced excavations with internal pumping to place the planned units. Additionally, some
of the precast units such as the Pump Station at the Effluent Waste Treatment area may require bracing and
dewatering or, at least, some specialized techniques to emplace the units "in-the-wet" with dewatering
subsequent to emplacement.
Other than these three components of the renovation other structural areas all appear to be above the
groundwater level with the possible exception of the pipe lines which run throughout the site. Again,
groundwater control issues may vary depending on location and may require trench reinforcement and
placement of sumps.

Field Exploration Procedures (Sonic Drilling)
At this site, borings were advanced using the Sonic drilling technique. Sonic Drilling is an
advanced form of drilling which employs high-frequency resonant energy generated inside a
"sonic head" to advance the drilling tools through a wide variety of subsurface formations and
conditions. During the drilling, the resonant energy is transferred down the drill string to the bit
face, where penetration of the formation is effected. The drill operator controls the vibratory
frequency to optimize the penetration for the formation condition. The drill string used at this site
and for a wide variety of geotechnical drilling applications consists of a 4-inch diameter core
barrel within a 6-inch diameter outer casing (i.e. a 4x6 drill string). Soil sampling and standard
penetration testing (SPT) were performed through the drill string in general accordance with
ASTM D 1586. At assigned intervals, soil samples were obtained with a standard 1.4-inch I.D.,2-
inch O. D., split-tube sampler. The sampler was first seated 6 inches to penetrate any loose
cuttings, and then driven an additional 12 inches with blows of a 140-pound hammer falling 30
inches. For this project a fully automatic hammer(Auto-Hammer)was used. The number of hammer
blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches was recorded and is designated the"standard
penetration resistance"(SPT). The penetration resistance,when properly evaluated, is an index to
the strength of the soil and foundation supporting capability.
Representative portions of the soil samples,thus obtained,were placed in glass jars and transported
to the laboratory.In the laboratory,the samples were examined by a geotechnical engineer to verify
the field classifications of the driller. Boring Logs are attached, showing the soil descriptions and
penetration resistance.

Archaeology
• Bores#3,#5,#6 are considered PA 106 exempt(past archaeological survey or the site is located
within an existing roadway) and will not require additional review. No Forest Service monitoring
is required for these test sites.
• Bores#1,#2,#4, #7 have not had an archaeological review in the past. A Forest Service
archaeologist will be required to be on site to monitor the excavation of these bores. At least
two weeks prior to boring activities,the permit holder is required to contact Kelsey Schmitz
([e-mail]) and Joel Hardison ([e-mail])to set up a time for
monitoring.
o During this monitoring,the archaeologist may request to excavate a 30cm round shovel
test in the vicinity to check for any intact cultural stratigraphic layers.
o The archaeologist will need to examine the soil column excavated from the boring
process down to below any possible cultural habitation levels.
• Should cultural resources be discovered,work must halt immediately at the affected bore sites.
Additional analysis or consultation may be required prior to the Forest Service allowing the work
to proceed.
