Re: Preliminary sod evaluation for subsurface waste disposal, Proposed Phase 11, Summer
Hill Subdivision, off McDougald Road, Harriett County, North Carolina
Dear 1W Blackwell,
A preliminary soils investigation has been completed for the above referenced tract. The
property is located off McDougald Road as illustrated on the accompanying map. The
purpose of the investigation was to determine the extent of soil areas that may have the
ability to support subsurface waste disposal systems for a proposed residential subdivision.
All ratings and determinations 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 May, 2007. SSEA traversed the property and observed landforms (slope,
drainage patterns, etc.) as well as soil conditions through the use of hand auger borings
and/or soil probes. From these observations and GPS location (accuracy may vary; not
based on a current survey) the boundaries between usable and unusable soils has been
estimated on the accompanying map (not to scale).
Two distinct soil patterns were observed in the field evaluations. They are described as
follow:
Area "A": This area is dominated by soils that are provisionally suitable for subsurface
waste disposal systems (with the exception of minor drainageways that are too small
to delineate at this scale). Typically, these soils exhibited 4 or more inches of loamy
sand underlain by sandy clay loams and/or sandy clays to depths of 26 or more inches.

Soil wetness, depth, and mineralogy were typically suitable to depths of at least 24 inches.
A 3 bedroom home would require approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of this soil area for
drainfields and repair areas (exclusive of setbacks from lot lines, houses, etc.). A 4
bedroom home would require approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of this soil area. (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.) System types in these soil areas could include
(conventional, innovative, low pressure pipe, pump to conventional, .1957b fill,
pretreatment, etc.),
Note: The enclosed map is not based on a current survey [once surveyed,
estimations of soil lines may change]. All points were flagged in the field for location
by a professional land surveyor. Due to heavy vegetation, estimations (flagged
locations) of unsuitable soil lines could vary from originally flagged locations after
further evaluation.
Area "B ": Soils in these areas are dominantly unsuitable for subsurface waste disposal due
to poor topography, shallow soil depths to unsuitable saprolite or parent material, soil
wetness [colors of chroma 2 (or less) and/or redox mottles that are less than 12 inches
from the soil surface] and/or expansive clay mineralogy. These soils are not capable of
modification under current regulatory criteria (for subsurface waste disposal),
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 must remain undisturbed (no mechanical clearing, stripping,
excavation or heavy traffic).
Because individual lots were not surveyed at the time of evaluation, this report does not
address lot(s). This report is to be used as a guide for likely subdivision/lot design based
on useable soils.
Matj 29 07 05;44p michael eake• 9108224540 p.3
It is imperative that these individual lot evaluations be completed so that necessary
changes can be made to lot lines (if necessary) before map recordation.
This report, of course, does not guarantee, constitute or imply any approval, or issuance
of permit, as needed by the client from the local health department. Such approval is
dependent on individual lot evaluations made after individual lots are staked in the field
by the local health department. This report only represents my opinion as a licensed soil
scientist. Because of the extreme variability of these soils, SSEA does not guarantee that
permitting agencies will agree with these findings (nor permit the intended use).
As with any property, a buyer of any proposed lot should obtain in appropriate
septic improvement permit from the local County Health Department prior to
making or completing financial obligations or commitments. (A permit from this
agency is the only "guarantee" of a site's suitability).
Southeastern Soil and Environmental Associates, Inc. is pleased to be of service in this
matter. We look forward to assisting in additional site analysis needs you may have in the
future. Please feel free to call with any questions.
Sincerely,
Mike Eaker
President
