36 RECFIVB NDY Barrett Kays & Associates Civil Engineering/Environmental En gi neeri n g/Envi ron mental LN&AtOWOW, ENT November 16, 1993 Ms. Deborah C. Christie c/o Law Department Liggett Group, Inc. 300 North Duke Street Durham, NC 27702 BSA Project *9310002 Dear Ms. Christie: This letter constitutes our report of our soil evaluations of the Piney Mountain low pressure system site. On November 8 and 9, 1993 1 conducted a field evaluation of the soils on the low pressure system site. Ten soil borings were located across the site, as shown on the attached maps. The borings were located across the toposequence to provide a good idea about the basic soil changes across the site. Attached are copies of the soil profile description of each boring. The site and soil characteristics for each boring were compared with the N.C. Division of Environmental Management Administrative Code 15 NCAC 2H.0300 - Septic Tank Systems, July 1, 1988 and the N.C. Division of Environmental Health Administrative Code 15A NCAC 18A.1900, April 1, 1993. The site and soil evaluations indicated that eight of the ten borings are unsuitable for shallow trenches and therefore a low pressure system under the DEM standards. The same eight borings are also unsuitable for low pressure system under the DEH regulations. I have collected six subsoil samples for clay mineralogy analysis. I have not sent the samples into the laboratory. Please be advised that the soils are also unsuitable due to other factors, therefore the analysis would provide clarification but should not change my overall classification. Please advise me within the next week if you would like me to submit the samples, otherwise I will discard them. 304 East Jones Street / Raleigh, North Carolina 27601 Telephone: 919-828-1903 Fax: 919-828-nIA;
