Jeff <br />Vaughan, Chris McGee, Trent Bostic, and Jesse Vaughan of Agri -Waste Technology, <br />Inc. (AWT) conducted the soil evaluation. The detailed soil evaluation of the land area <br />will follow. Property reference maps, provided by Ms. Katy Ansardi, are in Attachment <br />1. A review of the soil and landscape characteristics that dictate soil suitability for <br />domestic sewage treatment and disposal systems can be found in Attachment 2. <br />The total property area is approximately 112 acres, but only about 70 acres were <br />evaluated. The property is partially wooded, partially in cropland, and partially in <br />pastureland. There are numerous drainage features, a pond, 2 creeks, and a small <br />structure on the property (Attachment 3). <br />Soil Suitability for Domestic Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems <br />The aerial maps in Attachment 3 detail the approximate property boundaries, soil boring <br />locations, soil types, and soil areas for septic systems. Soil borings were flagged in the <br />field with blue ribbon (24 "+ of provisionally suitable soil), blue /red ribbon (18 -23" of <br />provisionally suitable soil), red ribbon (12 -17" of provisionally suitable soil), and yellow <br />ribbon (less than 12" of provisionally suitable soil). Approximately 63 soil borings were <br />advanced on the property and the soil examined (Attachment 3). A portion of the <br />property contained drainage features, complex topography, vehicle paths, and /or <br />unsuitable soils and, thus, are unsuitable for septic systems. However, this evaluation <br />was merely a preliminary review to determine what potential this land might have for <br />domestic sewage treatment and disposal systems. Therefore, specific types of septic <br />systems, exact locations of future drainfields and repair areas, plus buffers from property <br />lines (current and potential future lot lines), building foundations, wells, etc. are not fully <br />
