INTRODUCTION & SITE DESCRIPTION
This Soil and Site Evaluation was performed on a portion of a 24.43-acre tract located at 501 NC 24-
27, Midland, North Carolina (Cabarrus County Tax Parcel: 55248739280000).
Thompson Environmental Consulting, Inc. (TEC) was retained to determine areas that are suitable
for placement of an onsite subsurface wastewater septic system for a commercial application. The
property was evaluated in accordance with North Carolina statutes for waste disposal ("Laws and
Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems", amended December 2018).
INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY & SITE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Individual borings were advanced with a hand-held auger, and soil color was determined with a
Munsell Soil Color Chart. Observations of the landscape (slope, drainage patterns, etc.) as well as
soil properties (depth, texture, structure, seasonal wetness, restrictive horizons, etc.) were recorded.
A portion of the project study area is currently being graded and erosion control measures have been
installed. A single jurisdictional stream flows from northwest to southeast through the parcel. The
undisturbed areas are vegetated with mixed deciduous forest.
FINDINGS
A field survey was conducted on June 11, 2019 by Larry Thompson, LSS. Eleven soil borings were
evaluated, and their locations noted on the attached map.
All borings, except for Borings 1 and 2, were rated as Provisionally Suitable for Subsurface Drip
Dispersal. Surfaces typically exhibited a friable sandy clay loam texture with moderate, medium,
subangular blocky structure 7 to 10 inches in depth. Upper subsurface horizons exhibited firm clay
textures with moderate, medium, subangular blocky structure ranging in depth from 15 to 22 inches
before encountering expansive clay mineralogy. A long-term acceptance rates (LTAR) for these
soils would typically range from 0.08 to 0.1 gal/day/sgft.
To confirm the presence of unsuitable clay mineralogy, TEC collected a representative soil sample
for Apparent Cation Exchange Capacity (ACEC) testing, the results of which are attached to this
report. The ACEC was calculated to be 22.18 (cmol/kg), which is higher than the 16.3 (cmol/kg)
limit for expansive clay mineralogy.
DISCUSSION
Based upon TEC's soil and site evaluation, the area comprising Soil Borings 3-11 have the potential
to support the installation of a pre-treated drip dispersal system. Approximately 13,000 to 16,000
square feet of suitable soil would typically need to be allocated and completely available for a
subsurface drip dispersal system serving a business with 25-employees (625 gallons per day water
usage).
Additional soil work (special hydraulic assessment) would be required to substantiate the site LTAR
and referenced square footage requirements. In addition to a special hydraulic assessment, the
county will require a site -specific drip dispersal design to be completed and submitted for review

prior to a septic permit being issued. TEC would be pleased to provide a written cost proposal to
perform part, or all, of the required testing and design work to obtain a septic permit for this property.
CONCLUSION
The findings presented herein represent TEC's professional opinion based on this Soil and Site
Evaluation and knowledge of the current laws and rules governing on -site wastewater systems in
North Carolina.
Soils naturally change across a landscape and contain many inclusions. As such, attempts to quantify
them are not always precise and exact. Due to this inherent variability of soils and the subjectivity
when determining limiting factors, there is no guarantee that a regulating authority will agree with
the findings of this report. This report does not guarantee or represent approval or issuance of an
Improvement Permit, which can only be authorized by the Cabarrus Health Alliance.

Apparent Cation Exchange Capacity to Determine Clay Mineralogy
"Apparent Cation Exchange Capacity" (ACEC) means the sum of exchangeable bases plus total
soil acidity at a pH of 7.0. ACEC is expressed in milliequivalents per 100 grams of soil
(meq/100g of soil) or centimoles per kilogram of soil (cmols/kg of soil). The apparent soil ACEC
is calculated by determining the ACEC using the neutral normal ammonium acetate method, pH
of 7.0 neutral normal, and then dividing by the percent clay as determined by particle size
distribution (pipette method) and then multiplying by 100, as described in USDA-NRCS Soil
Survey Laboratory Information Manual, Soil Survey Investigations Report No. 45 and Kellogg
Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual, Soil Survey Investigation Report No. 42.
Laboratory testing of ACEC may be substituted for field testing to determine clay 5 mineralogy.
The laboratory testing shall be conducted in accordance with Kellogg Soil 6
Survey Laboratory Methods Manual, Soil Survey Investigation Report No. 42, page 229, 7
or EPA Method 9080. Table VII shall be used to determine the clay mineralogy suitability 8
when laboratory testing is used. When using laboratory testing to determine clay 9
mineralogy, the clay content of the soil must be greater than 35 percent and the organic 10
matter component must be less than 0.5 percent.
ACEC (cmol/kg) Mineralogy Classification
< 16.3 Slightly expansive suitable
> 16.3 Expansive unsuitable
