USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.

pyETi.ANDS AND STORMWA?l"k BRANCH
GeoTechnologies, Inc. has completed the authorized: subsurface investigation. to evaluate
foundation support considerations for the proposed aluminum arch culvert creek crossing to provide
driveway access into four residentia] lots to be constructed at the Timberlake subdivision located in
Clayton, North Carolina. Subsurface conditions at the site were investigated by utilizing hang auger
techniques to auger eight soil test borings at each side of the proposed creek crossing and performing
dynamic hand cone penetometer (DCP) testing to evaluate the consistency and density of the
subsurface soils. The creek crossings were surveyed in the field prior to GeoTechnologies arrival to
the site.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
A generalized subsurface profile prepared from the test boring data is attached to this report
as Figure 2 to graphically illustrate subsurface conditions encountered at this site. More detailed
descriptions of the conditions encountered at the individual test boring locations are then presented
on the attached test boring records.
The subsurface profile on the site was found to consist of 1 to 3 inches of topsoil underlain by
very soft to soft sandy silts with penetration resistances ranging from 1 to 4 blows per foot (bpf). Test
boring 58A encountered a soft silty clay layer of approximately one foot in thickness in the upper 4
feet. Test boring 57A encountered a stiff sandy clay layer of approximately 2 and a half feet in
thickness at a depth of 7 and a half feet. Penetration resistances in these silty and sandy clay layers
ranged from 4 to 15 plus bpf. Borings 56B, 57B, 58A, and 59A encountered a silty sand layer from
0.5 feet to 2 feet in thickness and each test boring experienced caving at depths from 6 to 7 and a half
feet which terminated augering. Penetration resistance in these silty sand layers ranged from 6 to ] 5
plus bpf. Test boring 58B also caved in at a depth of 8 feet and test boring 56A had auger refusal at 7
feet. Boring 57A and 59B were extended to a depth of 10 feet and both were experiencing blow
counts from 10 to 15 plus bpf .

Groundwater was encountered from 5 to 9 feet below site grade at the time of boring
completion in every test boring except boring 56B and 57A It should be recognized that groundwater
levels will vary with seasonal and climatic changes and that they may be higher or lower at other
times of the year. We anticipate the stabilized water levels will occur at depths equal to or slightly
above the water elevation in the adjoining creek. Some perched water conditions will also develop
following periods of wet weather.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are made based upon a review of the attached test boring
data, our understanding of the proposed construction, and past experience with similar projects and
subsurface: conditions. Should site .:grading or structural plans change significantly from -those now
under consideration, we would appreciate being provided with that information so that these
recommendations may be confirmed, extended, or modified as necessary. Additionally, should
subsurface conditions adverse to those indicated by this report be encountered during construction,
those differences should be reported to us for review and comment.
Foundation Support Recommendations. No information regarding the actual aluminum arch
culvert, including the bearing elevation, was provided to GeoTechnologies. Since about 3 to 4 feet of
overburden soils will need to be removed to reach the creek bottom elevation, we anticipate that the
structure will either bear on the firm to stiff silts from about 4 to 6 feet. For bearing on the ftrm to
stiff silts, we suggest assuming an allowable bearing capacity of 3,000 psf.
All excavations should be approved by a geotechnical engineer. Once suitable bearing
conditions are exposed, the excavations should be backfilled with full depth concrete. It may be
necessary to place a mud mat immediately following excavation to preserve the exposed subgrades
prior to placement of the remainder of concrete for the foundations. Although our borings suggest
adequate bearing will be achieved at about 4 to 6 feet, it should be expected that conditions will vary
and excavation depths may be deeper in some areas. Additionally, the contractor should be prepared
to handle water which will likely enter the excavation. Once the foundations have been installed, we
recommend that all backfill soils be recompacted to at least 95% of the standard Proctor maximum
dry density.
A scour analysis was beyond the scope of our investigation, but we recommend that the
project civil engineer perform this analysis as part of the design process. The borings were not
extended deep enough for analysis of an intermediate to deep foundation. If these options are. needed,
then deeper borings can be advanced to. determine specific depths for deep foundation elements.

If any headwalls will be constructed, we recommend that the below grade walls be designed
for a triangular lateral earth pressure distribution based on the assumption that the soils behind the
walls will act as an equivalent fluid weighing 50 pcf above the water table and 90 pcf below the
water table. This assumes that only approved backfill materials will be utilized. All backfill materials
placed within 3 feet of the wall should be compacted with hand held tamps rather than heavy
equipment to minimize pressures against the below grade walls. In order to prevent abuild-up of
hydrostatic pressure behind the walls, a sand filter or some form of specialty drainage material such
as an Enka drain or Mira drain should be utilized to collect water which would migrate towards the
walls and to direct that water to a foundation drain. A backflow value should be placed within the
collector pipe.
