Boyer, P.E. Professional Engineer NJ Lic. No. 24GE04200300 This memorandum summarizes the subsurface investigation and global slope stability evaluation performed by Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, LLC (Langan) for the eastern portion of the proposed West Essex Highlands development site located in West Orange, New Jersey. The following sections provide a description of existing site conditions, proposed development, subsurface investigation and conditions, our global slope stability analysis and our evaluation regarding slope stability with respect to the associated building construction. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The subject project site is located on Lot 32, Block 179, and is bounded by Avon Drive and Howell Drive and residential properties to the north, and residential developments to the south, east and west. The study area for the global slope stability analysis is the easternmost portion of the site bounded by Rosemont Terrace and Mayfair Drive to the east. The study area is heavily wooded and surface grades slope downward from west to east. There is a 25-foot-wide utility easement that bisects the subject area running in the north-south direction. Site surface grades generally range from approximately elevation (el) 616 to el 450. Typically, the slope in the subject area ranges from 2 Horizontal (H): 1 Vertical (V) or approximately 26 degrees from horizontal at its steepest to approximately 6H:1V or approximately 10 degrees from horizontal east of the utility easement. The proposed residential development will consist of the construction of new 4-story structures over structured parking. Based on available site drawings prepared by Anderson Consulting Services, LLC. (ACS), the closest building to the subject slope is proposed Building D, which is to be located at the top of the slope within the study area approximately 700 ft west of the eastern property line. We understand that no site improvements are proposed

s proposed Building D, which is to be located at the top of the slope within the study area approximately 700 ft west of the eastern property line. We understand that no site improvements are proposed in the wooded subject area located approximately 20 ft east of the proposed eastern building line of Building D.
