IV. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS

The following concerns about the submitted additional information response need to be addressed:
• As mentioned in the RRO Staff Report dated December 12, 2023 in some cases the last horizon described is
stated as follows:
Ksat Nest 1 – BC 20-30+”
Ksat Nest 2 – BC 18-30+”
Ksat Nest 3 – BC 28-36+”
This implies that the lowest described horizon extends below the evaluation depth of the auger boring.
The “+” sign should be removed from all profile descriptions. Please provide properly noted Ksat nest profile
descriptions that extend to at least 12 inches below the horizon the Ksat measurements were conducted at for
Ksat nests 1 and 3.
