About this file

This document is a Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by ECS Florida, LLC for CPH, LLC regarding the Wekiva Golf Club Lift Station project located at 4100 Wekiva Club Court in Longwood, Seminole County, Florida. The report details the results of a geotechnical investigation conducted on August 15, 2022, which involved drilling two Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to a depth of 15 feet to evaluate subsurface conditions for a proposed lift station. The investigation characterized the soil composition, which primarily consisted of sand and sand with silt, and assessed groundwater levels, with the seasonal high water table estimated at approximately 10 feet below the existing ground surface.

The geotechnical report provides comprehensive recommendations for site preparation, foundation design, and construction considerations. Key technical findings include a net allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf for the lift station, with an estimated total settlement of less than 1 inch. The soil is classified as SAND (SP) and SAND WITH SILT (SP-SM), and the report suggests specific compaction requirements, structural fill specifications, and excavation protection measures. The investigation also briefly addressed karst geology, noting a low risk of sinkhole formation based on the available data. ECS Florida recommends continued involvement during the design and construction phases to verify subsurface conditions and provide ongoing geotechnical consultation.

2.0 PROJECT INFORMATION

2.1 PROJECT LOCATION/CURRENT SITE USE/PAST SITE USE

The subject site is located at 4100 Wekiva Club Court in Longwood, Seminole County, Florida. The subject property consists of a portion of one (1) Seminole County parcel identified as Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 05-21-29-300-001C-0000. A Site Location Drawing is included below and within Appendix A of this report.

ECS Project No. 24:7212 Page 3

Figure 2.1.1. Site Location

The site is generally flat with existing grades varying between approximately EL. +110 feet to EL. +115 feet-datum. The given surface elevations are interpolated from topographic information contained within the Topographic Survey by CPH, LLC dated August 29, 2022, and should be considered approximate to the closest half-foot. The site is developed with a clubhouse for the golf course area. The proposed lift station area is currently asphalt pavement area with vegetated area covered with grass and bushes.

Based upon our review of historical aerials that date back to 1952, the site appears to have been a mix of grassland and woodland prior to 1952. At some point between 1969 to 1980, the site was developed as the clubhouse for the nearby golf course. The site remained in that condition to the present day.

2.2 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION

Based on information provided by your group, ECS understands that a new lift station is proposed for the existing Wekiva Golf Club development. The lift station will connect to the existing sewer system of the overall development. Based on the requested boring depths, we expect the lift station wet well will bear at a depth of 12 feet or less below the existing ground surface. We also understand the proposed gravity and force mains are proposed to be installed using open cut construction.

If actual project information varies from these conditions, then the recommendations in this report may need to be re-evaluated. We should be contacted if any of the above project information is incorrect so that we may reevaluate our recommendations.

3.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING

Our exploration procedures are explained in greater detail in Appendix B including the insert titled Subsurface Exploration Procedures. Our scope of work included drilling two (2) borings for this exploration. Our boring was located with a handheld GPS unit and the approximate location is shown on the Boring Location Diagram in Appendix A.

ECS Project No. 24:7212 Page 4

3.1 SUBSURFACE CHARACTERIZATION

The subsurface conditions encountered were generally consistent with published geological mapping.

The following sections provide generalized characterizations of the soil. Please refer to the boring logs in Appendix B.

Based on the Geologic Map of Florida, Central Florida geologic conditions can generally be described in terms of three basic sedimentary layers. The near-surface layer is primarily composed of sands containing varying amounts of silt and clay fines that are underlain by a layer of clay, clayey fine sand, locally referred to as the “Hawthorn Group” which is underlain by phosphate, and limestone. The thickness of these strata varies throughout Central Florida. In general, the surficial sands typically extend to depths of 40 feet to 70 feet below the ground surface, while the “Hawthorn Group” ranges from nearly absent in some locations to thicknesses greater than 100 feet. The limestone formation may be several thousand feet thick.

The groundwater hydrogeology of Central Florida can be described in terms of the nature and relationship of the three basic geologic strata. The near surface and upper stratum are fairly permeable and comprise the water table (unconfined) aquifer. The deep limestone formation of the Floridian aquifer is highly permeable due to the presence of large, interconnected channels and cavities throughout the rock. The Floridian aquifer is the primary source of drinking water in Central Florida. These two permeable strata are separated by the relatively low permeability clays in the “Hawthorn Group.” The amount of groundwater flow between the two aquifer systems is dependent on the thickness and consistency of the “Hawthorn Group” clay confining beds which, as previously stated, varies widely throughout Central Florida.

The soils encountered during this exploration are generally consistent with the Regional Geology and are described within the table below.

A graphical presentation of the subsurface conditions is shown on the Subsurface Cross Section Diagram included in Appendix A.

3.2 GROUNDWATER OBSERVATIONS

Water levels were measured in our boring logs in Appendix B. Groundwater was not encountered prior to the introduction of drilling fluid at 10 feet below the existing ground surface. Variations in the long-term water table may occur as a result of changes in precipitation, evaporation, surface water runoff, construction activities, and other factors. Based upon our interpretation of the subsurface data, it appears

ECS Project No. 24:7212 Page 5 that the seasonal high groundwater level is approximately estimated to be approximately 10 feet below the exist ground surface.

3.3 KARST GEOLOGY

Areas within Central Florida are known to have karst geology. Karst terrain is characterized by voids, soil domes, soil raveling, interrupted drainage, disappearing streams, and topographical features such as sinkholes and closed depressions. These features are the result of the dissolution of soluble bedrock such as limestone by groundwater and/or the infiltration of surface water.

As water enters fractures, bedding planes, and other bedrock discontinuities within soluble bedrock, it slowly dissolves the rock and enlarges the discontinuities. Over geologic time, this results in the formation of solution channels or underground passages and ravines which may develop into surficial manifestations such as sinkholes and closed depressions. The dissolution of bedrock is generally a very slow process.

However, soil may be eroded or raveled into the enlarged bedrock fractures, creating soil domes.

Eventually, soil in these features can be lost through groundwater movement, resulting in surface depressions and potential sudden ground subsidence.

The soils derived from and overlying the carbonate bedrock are typically a clayey and silty soil with varying amounts of sand and rock fragments. The bedrock within the general geographic region is characterized by jointed and faulted soluble carbonate lithologies interbedded with non-carbonate lithologies. These carbonate formations are generally moderately to highly solution prone.

The degree of weathering or solutioning is often controlled by lithological variations and structural orientations. Where structural discontinuities intersect or in areas which are highly fractured, solutioning is intensified creating low areas and seams that are typically filled with residual clayey soils. Conversely, more competent, high areas represent slightly- to non-fractured lithologies that are often coarser grained and only slightly solution prone.

The underlying carbonate formations of the project geographic area are susceptible to Karst-related sinkhole development. Contributing characteristics and factors controlling the development include subsurface structural deformation, joint sets, and thick carbonate bedding within the area. Due to the shallow nature of the exploration performed, the borings did not reveal overt signs of soils associated with karst activity or carbonate rocks. The risk of sinkhole formation is low in our opinion based on available data.

3.4 LABORATORY TESTING

Each sample was visually classified on the basis of texture and plasticity in accordance with ASTM D2488 Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedures) and including USCS classification symbols, and ASTM D2487 Standard Practice for Classification for Engineering Purposes (Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). After classification, the samples were grouped in the major zones noted on the boring logs in Appendix B. The group symbols for each soil type are indicated in parentheses along with the soil descriptions. The stratification lines between strata on the logs are approximate; in situ, the transitions may be gradual.

ECS Project No. 24:7212 Page 6

The laboratory testing consisted of selected tests performed on samples obtained during our field exploration operations. Classification and index property tests were performed on representative soil samples. The index testing program included natural moisture content tests (ASTM D 2216), and percent passing the No. 200 sieve (ASTM D 6913).

4.0 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 LIFT STATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the results of our exploration, we consider the subsurface conditions at the site adaptable for support of the proposed lift station wet well structure. The following sections present our recommendations for the wet well construction.

4.1.1 General Construction Considerations

The water table should be maintained at least 2 feet below the required excavation depth. The dewatering system should not be decommissioned until sufficient deadweight exists on the structure to prevent uplift or the uplift protection system as described below, if necessary, is in place.

4.1.2 Uplift Pressure

We anticipate that the proposed structure will exert little or no net downward pressure on the soils;

rather, the structure may be subject to hydrostatic uplift pressure prior to completion of construction and whenever the structure is empty. Below-ground structures should be designed to resist lateral earth pressures and hydrostatic uplift pressures appropriate for their depth below existing grade and wet season groundwater table.

The walls of the structure should be designed to resist at-rest lateral earth pressures, with equivalent fluid densities above and below the water table being as follows:

Above Water Table - Equivalent Fluid Density 58 lb/ft3

Below Water Table - Equivalent Fluid Density 88 lb/ft3

4.1.3 Uplift Protection

When the water within the below-ground structure is maintained at or above the surrounding groundwater level, no net buoyancy will occur to the structure. However, in other conditions, a positive means of uplift protection may be necessary. Hydrostatic uplift forces can be resisted in several ways including:

1. Addition of dead weight to the structure.

2. Mobilizing the dead weight of the soil surrounding the structure through extension of footings outside the perimeter of the structure.

We can assist you in evaluating uplift protection requirements, at your request.

ECS Project No. 24:7212 Page 7

4.1.4 Bearing and Settlement

Post-construction settlements of the structure will be influenced by several interrelated factors, such as:

(1) subsurface stratification and strength/compressibility characteristics; (2) bearing level, applied loads, and resulting bearing pressures beneath the foundations; and (3) site preparation and earthwork construction techniques used by the contractor.

Based on the results of the boring performed for the proposed structure area at the site, provided the site preparation and earthwork construction recommendations presented in Section 5.0 are performed, and since the proposed structure will exert little downward pressure on the soils, it is our professional opinion that the proposed development is feasible. We recommend the foundation design use the following parameters.

Design Parameter Lift Station Wet Well

Net Allowable Bearing Pressure (1) 2,000 psf

Acceptable Bearing Soil Material SAND (SP) & SAND WITH SILT (SP-SM) - Stratum I

Estimated Total Settlement (3) Less than 1-inch

Notes:

(1) Net allowable bearing pressure is the applied pressure in excess of the surrounding overburden soils above the base of the foundation.

(2) For bearing considerations.

(3) Based on assumed structural loads. If final loads are different, ECS must be contacted to update foundation recommendations and settlement calculations.

Potential Undercuts: Most of the soils at the foundation bearing elevation are anticipated to be suitable for support of the proposed structure. If soft or unsuitable soils are observed at the footing bearing elevations, the unsuitable soils should be undercut and removed. Any undercut should be backfilled with lean concrete (f’c ≥ 1,000 psi at 28 days) up to the original design bottom of footing elevation; the original footing shall be constructed on top of the hardened lean concrete.

4.2 Utility Installations

Utility Subgrades: The soils encountered in our exploration are expected to be generally suitable for support of utility pipes. The pipe subgrades should be observed and probed for stability by ECS. Any loose or unsuitable materials encountered should be removed and replaced with suitable compacted Structural Fill, or pipe stone bedding material.

Utility Backfilling: The granular bedding material (often AASHTO #57 stone) should be at least 4 inches thick, but not less than that specified by the civil engineer’s project drawings and specifications. We recommend that the bedding materials be placed up to the springline of the pipe. Fill placed for support of the utilities, as well as backfill over the utilities, should satisfy the requirements for Structural Fill and Fill Placement.

Excavation Safety: All excavations and slopes should be constructed and maintained in accordance with OSHA excavation safety standards. The contractor is solely responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining stable temporary excavations and slopes. The contractor’s responsible person, as defined in

ECS Project No. 24:7212 Page 8

29 CFR Part 1926, should evaluate the soil exposed in the excavations as part of the contractor’s safety procedures. In no case should slope height, slope inclination, or excavation depth, including utility trench excavation depth, exceed those specified in local, state, and federal safety regulations. ECS is providing this information solely as a service to our client. ECS is not assuming responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor’s activities; such responsibility is not being implied and should not be inferred.

5.0 SITE CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 SUBGRADE PREPARATION

5.1.1 Stripping and Grubbing

Prior to construction, the location of existing underground utilities within the construction area should be established. Provisions should then be made to relocate interfering utilities to appropriate locations.

Underground pipes that are not properly removed or plugged may serve as conduits for subsurface erosion, which may subsequently lead to excessive settlement of overlying structures.

The "footprint" of the proposed construction plus a minimum additional margin of 5 feet, should be stripped of all surface vegetation, stumps, debris, organic topsoil, or other deleterious materials. During grubbing operations, roots with a diameter greater than 0.5-inch, stumps, or small roots in a concentrated state, should be grubbed and completely removed.

Based on the results of our field exploration, it should be anticipated that 6 inches of topsoil and soils containing significant amounts of organic materials may be encountered across the site. The actual depths of unsuitable soils and materials should be determined by ECS using visual observation and judgment during earthwork operations. Any topsoil removed from the structural areas can be stockpiled and used subsequently in non-structural areas.

5.1.2 Temporary Groundwater Control

Limited Excavation Dewatering: Based upon our subsurface exploration at this site, as well as significant experience on sites in nearby areas of similar geologic setting, we believe construction dewatering at this site will be mainly limited to removing accumulated rain water or for deep utility installations.

Deep wells should not be required for the temporary dewatering system. However, the dewatering operations can be handled by the use of conventional submersible pumps directly in the excavation, temporary trenches, or French drains.

If temporary sump pits are used, we recommend they be established at a depth of 3 feet to 5 feet below the bottom of the excavation subgrade or bottom of footing. A perforated 55-gallon drum or other temporary structure could be used to house the pump. We recommend continuous dewatering of the excavations using electric pumps or manned gasoline pumps be used during construction. If utilized, the french drain should consist of a filter fabric lined trench filled with FDOT No. 57 stone or equivalent open graded stone. A minimum of 4-inch diameter PVC pipe should be placed in the stone bed to enhance water flow. After the installation has been completed, the filter fabric should be wrapped over the top of the gravel and pipe whereupon placement of fill may proceed to grade.

ECS Project No. 24:7212 Page 9

5.1.3 Excavation Protection

Excavation work for the project will be required to meet OSHA Excavation Standard Subpart P regulations, Type C Soils. A braced sheet pile structure is anticipated for excavation support. Use of an open cut for deeper excavations is not considered practical because it will require a large excavation to preclude slope sloughing. The support structure should be designed according to OSHA sheeting and bracing requirements. We recommend a Florida registered Professional Engineer design the sheeting/bracing system.

5.1.4 Preparation of Lift Station Foundation Soils

The excavation bottom should be densified using hand-operated compaction equipment prior to the placement of backfill soils. Typically, the material to be compacted should exhibit moisture contents within ±2 percent of the modified Proctor optimum moisture content (ASTM D 1557) during the compaction operations. Compaction should continue until densities of at least 95 percent of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) have been achieved within the upper one foot below the exposed surface within the lift-station structure excavation. If compaction of the excavation bottom soils can’t be achieved, a one-foot thick layer of FDOT 57 Stone can be placed at the structures bearing levels.

5.1.5 Compaction of Lift Station Structural Backfill

Structural backfill which will be required around the lift station structure should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 6 inches in thickness and should be compacted with a light hand-operated compactor to a density of 95 percent of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557). Heavy equipment should not be allowed within 5 feet of the structure to prevent overstressing of the structure walls.

5.2 EARTHWORK OPERATIONS

5.2.1 Structural Fill

Prior to placement of structural fill, representative bulk samples (about 50 pounds) of on-site and/or off-site borrow should be submitted to ECS for laboratory testing, which will typically include Atterberg limits, natural moisture content, grain-size distribution, and moisture-density relationships (i.e., Proctors) for compaction. Import materials should be tested prior to being hauled to the site to determine if they meet project specifications. Alternatively, Proctor data from other accredited laboratories can be submitted if the test results are within the last 90 days.

Satisfactory Structural Fill Materials: Materials satisfactory for use as structural fill should consist of inorganic soils with the following engineering properties and compaction requirements.

ECS Project No. 24:7212 Page 10

STRUCTURAL FILL INDEX PROPERTIES

Subject Property

Building and Pavement Areas LL < 40, PI<20

Max. Particle Size 4 inches

Fines Content Max. 12 % passing #200 sieve

Max. organic content 5% by dry weight

STRUCTURAL FILL COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS

Subject Requirement

Compaction Standard Modified Proctor, ASTM D1557

Required Compaction 98% of Max. Dry Density

Moisture Content -2 to +3 % points of the soil’s optimum value

Loose Thickness 8 inches prior to compaction

On-Site Borrow Suitability: Deposits of soils (that meet the definition of satisfactory structural fill) are present on the site. These occur mostly at relatively shallow depth below the surface where residual soils are most weathered.

Materials used as structural fill for shallow fill areas should consist of approved material classified as SP, SP-SM, or more granular, which are free of debris, particles larger than 3 inches in diameter (4-inches for trench/utility backfill), organic inclusions, cinders, ash, or excess moisture. Higher fines soils such as SM and SC may be reused in deeper fill (2 feet and greater below proposed grades); however due to the higher fines, these soils are moisture sensitive and may be more challenging to place and compact as structural fill.

It is recommended that material to be used for engineered fill be analyzed and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to their use on site. Subgrade soils disturbed by contractor operations should be re-compacted to the specifications of this report. Subgrade soils which are excessively wet but otherwise suitable by soil classification (inorganic soil material meeting the specifications above) are not to be considered unsuitable by definition and should be moisture conditioned and re-compacted.

Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Mar 27, 2021—Apr 13, 2021

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were compiled and digitized probably differs from the background imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

1Classifications and symbols per ASTM D 2488-17 (Visual-Manual Procedure) unless noted otherwise.

2To be consistent with general practice, “POORLY GRADED” has been removed from GP, GP-GM, GP-GC, SP, SP-SM, SP-SC soil types on the boring logs.

3Non-ASTM designations are included in soil descriptions and symbols along with ASTM symbol [Ex: (SM-FILL)].

4Typically estimated via pocket penetrometer or Torvane shear test and expressed in tons per square foot (tsf).

5Standard Penetration Test (SPT) refers to the number of hammer blows (blow count) of a 140 lb. hammer falling 30 inches on a 2 inch OD split spoon sampler required to drive the sampler 12 inches (ASTM D 1586). “N-value” is another term for “blow count” and is expressed in blows per foot (bpf). SPT correlations per 7.4.2 Method B and need to be corrected if using an auto hammer.

6The water levels are those levels actually measured in the borehole at the times indicated by the symbol. The measurements are relatively reliable when augering, without adding fluids, in granular soils. In clay and cohesive silts, the determination of water levels may require several days for the water level to stabilize. In such cases, additional methods of measurement are generally employed.

7Minor deviation from ASTM D 2488-17 Note 14.

8Percentages are estimated to the nearest 5% per ASTM D 2488-17.

SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION PROCEDURE:

STANDARD PENETRATION TESTING (SPT)

ASTM D 1586

Split-Barrel Sampling

Standard Penetra on Tes ng, or SPT, is the most frequently used subsurface explora on test performed worldwide. This test provides samples for iden fica on purposes, as well as a measure of penetra on resistance, or N-value. The N-Value, or blow counts, when corrected and correlated, can approximate engineering proper es of soils used for geotechnical design and engineering purposes.

SPT Procedure:

• Involves driving a hollow tube (split-spoon) into the ground by dropping a 140-lb hammer a height of 30-inches at desired depth

• Recording the number of hammer blows re-quired to drive split-spoon a distance of 12 inches (in 3 or 4 Increments of 6 inches each)

• Auger is advanced* and an addi onal SPT is performed

• One SPT test is typically performed for every two to five feet

• Obtain 1.5-inch diameter soil sample

*Drilling Methods May Vary— The predominant drilling methods used for SPT are open hole fluid rotary drilling and hollow-stem auger drilling.
