Reference: Soil Investigation
PID 120555 0062 (1.12 Acres)
Dear Mrs. Crawford,
A site investigation has been conducted for the above referenced property, located on the
western side of Hills Road in Harnett County, North Carolina. The purpose of this investigation
was to determine the site's ability to support a repair subsurface sewage waste disposal system
for your home. All sewage disposal ratings and determinations were made in accordance with
"Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems, 15A NCAC 18A .1900 ". This
report represents my professional opinion as a Licensed Soil Scientist but does not guarantee or
represent permit approval for any lot by the local Health Department. An improvement permit
will need to be obtained from the Health Department that provides the specifics for your
wastewater system.
A double wide manufactured home exists near the center of the subject property and
utilizes a septic system that is installed in "Easement No. 2 ". That system appeared to be
functioning properly, and adequate space appears to be available within the easement area to
replace the system if needed. However, additional area to provide another easement does not
appear to be readily available.
The new home that you propose to occupy at the site is located at the front of the lot and
above an existing septic system that was once utilized by an old home that was previously
located at the property but has been removed. It is my understanding that the existing system
was functioning properly when the house was removed and that you expect it to continue to
function in the future for your home. No evidence of past failures or stresses was observed at the
site. A soil investigation was conducted in the vicinity of the old house (removed) and the soils
were observed to be adequate for conventional septic systems that are installed ultra shallow. A
layer of topsoil would be needed to cover the entire drainfield area if repairs are required in this
area. This area may not be large enough for a complete replacement of your septic system as the
soils are heavy clays and will require a significant amount of drainline.

The soils in the western corner of this property were observed to be adequate for
innovative or experimental systems, such as subsurface drip systems or more conventional
drainlines preceded by a pre - treatment filter. These soils were observed to be firm clays to
greater than 18 inches and appear adequate to support Iong term acceptance rates of 0.75
gal /day /sgft for anaerobic subsurface drip systems. Although significantly expensive to design
and install, these type systems appear available for your use in repairing the existing system if it
should fail. You may need to have the property lines more clearly marked before the health
department will allow you to proceed.
It is recommended that you request that the health department allow you to utilize the
existing system that is present at the property. It should also be your understanding that future
repairs or replacement of the existing system will likely be significantly expensive.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide this service and trust that you will feel free to call
on me again in the future. If you have any questions or need additional information, please
contact me at your convenience.
