A new soil evaluation was completed at 0 Garden Court (RE# 169716-0060) on December 5,
2022 (Figure 1). The site has been cleared and graded and ground surface elevations differ
from the evaluation complete on July 20, 2022. Three soil boring were completed to a depth of
72 inches to determine the seasonal high water table based on soil morphology and the current
water if observed (Table 1). The onsite soils are mapped as Urban land-Leon-Boulogne
complex and Boulogne fine sand (USDA, NRCS SURGGO Data). These mapped soils are
poorly and very poorly drain with a seasonal high water table between 0-18 inches below grade.
Onsite soils are similar to Mandarin (Boring 1), Hurricane (Boring 2), and Ridgewood (Boring 3).
Boring 1 (B1) is similar to the Mandarin series and is somewhat poorly drained. It has a spodic
layer from 35-49 inches, a seasonal high water table at 30 inches and a water table observed at
64 inches. The spodic layer is sandy but will have a slightly lower permeability than the sandy
soils above and below this layer.
Boring 2 (B2) is similar to the Mandarin series and is somewhat poorly drained. It has a spodic
layer from 29-33 inches, a seasonal high water table at 25 inches, and a water table was deeper
than 72 inches. The spodic layer is sandy but will have a slightly lower permeability than the
sandy soils above this layer.
Boring 3 (B3) is similar to the Fripp series and is well drained. It is sandy throughout. The
seasonal high water table is at 59 inches and the water table was deeper than 72 inches.
These soils have a relatively high permeability rate.
Each of these locations has the ability to receive and infiltrate runoff from impervious surfaces
constructed onsite. If you have any questions regarding the onsite soils, please contact me.
Sincerely,
