Mavis #2296 Additional Exploration January 29, 2025 ECS Project No. 44-2100-A Page 2 The soil profiling and infiltration test program performed was based on the information obtained from our previous subsurface exploration and discussions with Mavis. SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND TESTING Our exploration procedures are explained in greater detail in the Attachment 2 in the insert titled Subsurface Exploration Procedure. A rubber tracked excavator was used by Sano Drilling, and the Exploration Location Diagram in Attachment 1 depicts the approximate as-completed locations of the test pit excavations. Soil profiling and field infiltration testing was performed in general accordance with Chapter 12 of the BMP Manual. The Single Ring Infiltration Test (Subsection A5 of the Chapter 12 Appendix) was used. Upon completion of the infiltration testing, the test pits were backfilled with the excavation spoils. The spoils were placed in consecutive, generally horizontal lifts of relatively uniform thickness and tamped with the excavator bucket. Excess spoils were mounded above the backfilled test pit footprint and smoothed and firmed with the excavator bucket. SUBSURFACE CHARACTERIZATION Soils encountered were visually classified during logging on the basis of texture in general accordance with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Textural Classification System per the requirements of the BMP Manual. After classification, the samples were grouped in the major zones noted on the exploration logs contained in the Attachment 2. Divisions between soil strata/soil horizons on the exploration logs are approximate; in-situ, the transitions may be gradual. Additionally, index property tests were performed on select soil samples collected to confirm USDA classifications made in the field. Each laboratory test was completed in general accordance with the applicable ASTM Standard Test Method as indicated on the laboratory testing sheets included in Attachment 3. The subsurface conditions encountered were generally consistent with the published geologic mapping available from the New Jersey Geological and Water Survey via NJ-GeoWeb and the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service
stent with the published geologic mapping available from the New Jersey Geological and Water Survey via NJ-GeoWeb and the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) via Web Soil Survey for the general site vicinity.

Mavis #2296 Additional Exploration January 29, 2025 ECS Project No. 44-2100-A Page 3 GROUNDWATER During the test pit exploration, groundwater was not observed within the test pits. No water was observed entering the other test pits; however, each of the test pits were not left open for 24-hour to monitor the seasonal high-water determination (SHWT). No mottling was observed in any of the test pits as well. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be considered in stormwater design development. Variations in perched groundwater levels and long-term water table may occur as a result of changes in precipitation, evaporation, surface water runoff, construction activities, and other factors. INFILTRATION TEST RESULTS As previously indicated, field infiltration testing was performed within two of the test pits in general accordance with the Appendix to Chapter 12 of the BMP Manual, Subsection A5, Single Ring Infiltration Test. Findings from our field infiltration testing are reported on the Single Ring Infiltrometer Test Logs contained in the attachments. Listed in the following table present the hydraulic conductivity rate of the soil layers tested as determined by the procedure outlined in Subsection A5.

n the visual observation of the fill materials encountered while test pitting the existing fill materials on the site do not appear to be suitable for support of the building foundations. The existing fills are variable in composition, containing deleterious debris such as brick, plastic, glass, and metals. Therefore, the recommendation included in the report should be followed and these materials should be removed in their entirety below foundation elements and heavily proofrolled during site grading operations in areas supporting pavements and slabs on grade. CLOSING This letter has been prepared as an addendum to our Geotechnical Engineering Report dated December 10, 2024 (under ECS Project No. 44:2100); as such, it should only be utilized in conjunction with that exploration and report. Should any of the assumptions outlined above regarding the proposed conditions be inaccurate, alternative recommendations may apply including those provided in our geotechnical report.
