Re: Preliminary soil evaluation for subsurface -waste disposal, +/- 2 acre combined tract
(PID 010524 0018 & 010524 0018 19. Raynor Road, Harnett County, North Carolina
Dear Mr, Smith.
A preliminary soils investigation has been completed for the above referenced tract at
your request. 'rhe property is located on Raynor Road as illustrated on the accompanying
map. The purpose of the investig
,ation was to determine the extent of soil areas that may
have the ability to support a subsurface waste disposal system for a proposed church
facility [total facility flow of 720 gallons per day; up to 240 sanctuary seats (��) 3 gallons
per seat per day-, no fellowship hall]. All ratings and deter-ninations were made in
accordance with "Laws and Rules for Sanitary Sewage Collection, Treatment, and
Disposal, 15A NCAC 18A .1900 ",
Southeastern Soil and Environmental Associates, Inc. (SSEA) performed these soil
evaluations in February, 2012. SSEA traversed the property and observed landfarnis
(slope., drainage patterns, etc.) as well as soil conditions through the use of hand auger
borings and/or soil probes.
Soils on this site are dominantly suitable or provisionally suitable for a subsurface waste
disposal system to serve the proposed facility. Typically, these soils exhibited 10 or more
inches of fine loamy sand underlain by sandy clay loams to depths of 48 or more inches.
Soil wetness. depth, and mineralogy were typically provisionally suitable to depths of at
least 36 inches, A 7120 gpd church facility would require approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of
this soil area for drainfields and repair areas (exclusive of setbacks from lot lines,
facilities. etc.). (Note: These square footage recommendations assume appropriate

topography for a practical septic system layout on topographical contour_ Space
requirements could increase with difficult topography. irregular lot lines. etc.) The initial
septic system in these soil types would require a 1,500 gallon septic tank with a
conventional drainfield (600 linear feet of conventional drainline based on an LTAR of
0.4 Po/sq. ft. installed on contour).
Note: Any site grading or soil removal in these suitable or provisionally, suitable
areas may alter the findings of this report and render sites unusable. Areas for
septic disposal roust remain undisturbed (no mechanical clearings stripping,
excavation or heavy traffic).
Southeastern Soil and Environmental Associates, Inc. is pleased to be of service in this
matter. We look forward to assisting in additional site analysis or septic design needs You
may have in the fizture. Please feel free to call with any questions.
Sincerely,
