1.2 Scope of Work

NUS. FIT III was tasked to. perform a Preliminary Assessment of the subject site. Inaccordance with the. specific .elements of. the Technical Directive Document,background information has_been reviewed., Virginia State Water Control Board (VASWCB) representative Charles Stitzer was contacted, and the field investigationw a s completed. _ . . . . -

1.3 Summary

On Monday, August 20, 1984, FIT HI personnel, Richard Gorrell and Bruce Pluta,along with Charles ...Stitfer, Jyisited the C _&_,R. Battery, battery/lead reclamationsite. Mr. Charles Gifytoh, sTfe"pfdperty renter /operator, was also present duringthe field investigation". " ""•" ~~/ -- - - -•- - •-• --•

The site, which .. is approximately 4 acres, consists of a battery processingsaw/shredder designed to separate and recover lead from discarded auto and truckbatteries. Products and waste generated by the operation include lead sulfide,lead, plastic battery casing materials, and sulfuric acid.

The facility has been in operation since the early 1970s. According to reports, alarge volume of discarded batteries has accumulated_at the site. Subsequentsampling of on-site drainage .ways, groundwatert and soil revealed elevated levelsof lead. The VA SWCB has had extensive involvement with the site, including theissuance of several consent orders, requiring site reclamation proposal plans andwaste water treatment plans. . __ _. .._

2.0 THE SITE

2.1 Location

The C &,R Battery lead recycling facility site is located approximately 6 milessoutheast of Richmond, along the :eastern end of Bellwood Road in ChesterfieldCounty, Virginia. __ ~ ~r "

2.2 Site Layout __~--

The site consists .of a battery processing saw/shredder, designed to separate andrecover., lead, from discarded^uto and truck batteries. _The battery crushermachine, reclaimed materials,, waste materials and all other related activities andequipment are confined to a"s.ihgle"area of approximately 4 acres. .

The site is basically a rectangular property which_s_lopes_generally 3 to 5 percent tothe southeast.. ;_The_battery breaker itself, is located vwithin the south centralportion of-.the lot. An acid, storage/containment area_is also located within thecentral area of the site, adjacent, to the battery crusher. Material stockpile areas(both reclaimed -lead and scrap) are located ...just west .and north of the batterycrusher.

2.4 Site Use History . _ ; _ •

According to Mr. Guyton. battery recycling activities at the site began in 1970.Pro'ducts and waste materials -genera ted_by_jhis "operation include lead sulfide, leadoxide, lead, plastic battery casing materials, an_d suifurjc acid. Prior to 1970, thesite had no specific use and was described as a wooded vacant lot. Generally,activities" related, to the operation include bulk/whole battery storage, batteryprocessing to recover lead and lead sulfide,. waste materials stockpiling, recoveredmaterials stockpiling, and the loading and shipping of materials.

2-5 Permit and Regulatory Action History

The C &, R Battery site "has. had an extensive history of VA SWCB regulatoryactions. According to .interviews with SWCB_ representatives, the site .was firstinvestigated in 1975. "In 197;9_,_the operator was issued an order by the SWCB-tosubmit plans for the installation of a waste water treatment facility. In April of19SO, a court" ordered consent injunction was'iss.ued, requiring submittal of plansfor waste water.treatment "and site reclamation. These orders were not carried outto the satisfaction of the SWCB, and in July 19S1 the state issued a Consent OrderDecree, which included a~~detailed schedule for upgrading the water treatmentsystem and implementing a site, reclamation plan.

Currently, the existing regulatory status of the site is_somewhat complex. - Ingeneral, _the site operator has submitted reclamation plans and has even begunremedial activities "at t.he_ site. These plans, however, have not received, -finalapproval from the SWCB. Additionally, the site has interim status under theNational Pollution Discharge Elimination System as a wet treatment discharger.The SWCB is currently monitoring surface drainage and 3 groundwater wells onsite.- See_ appendix F for the state's quarterly monitoring results from 1976 topresent. :.-•...... . .... _ .. _ . . ._..._...: ~ .

2.6 Remedial Action To Date ___ „..._.____.__... ..„,..

There have been no EPA related remedial actions at the site. The site operator hastaken it upon himself to begin site reclamation prior to receiving final approvalfrom the SWCB. According to Jtfr. Guyton, ""and based on the FIT fieldinvestigation, some_ remedial actions...have been Implemented for the northernportion of the site. These actions have included the removal of battery scraps, theexcavation and removal of surface soil, the addition of a pH stabilization materialto the soil, the regrading of the .affected, are.a, .and the placement of a clay capover the reclaimed, area. The southern and central areas of the site have notreceived any.remedial work (see "appendix C). . , _= " " .

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING

3-1 Water Supply ...._„.____. —^ __

According to the Chesterfield Courity^j_li_ty_Department, all water supplies within3 miles, of the. site are via private or municipal groundwater wells. The nearesthome well to the site is approximately 500 feet to the north. There are no publicwater supply intakes on the James River within 3 miles downstream of the site.Water tanks at the end of Bellwood .Road, shown on the topograhic map, areprivately owned. -~ ";/ =: : ------- -;;;;.? ; - . . -~̂ ;:..- - • - -—-

3.2 Surface Waters -

The C & R Battery site area; is drained by a small ditch that carries flows in anortherly direction into the 3ames River, which is approximately 600 feet north ofthe site. Portions of site runoff may also flow into a system of man-made drainageditches which carry flows into the. Kingr-'and Creek. Kingsland Creek also flowsinto the James River.

3.3 Geology and Soils _._--•- __• ..--_- ._. ̂

A geotechnicai study of.jthe C^& EL Battery, site has .been prepared by Sayre. andAssociates of .Richmond, Virginia, in December of ,19S3. .This study included theplacement of 4 .core borings, 2 of which were developed as groundwater monitoringwells. Additionally, Froehling and Robertson, Incorporated, of Richmond, Virginia,collected 11 hand auger soil samples at various locations and depths on site. Thefollowing information, summarizes the data developed by these site specific studies.

.3-1

Site Name: C & R BattervTDD No.: F3-3407-32

Physiographicaliy, the site lies, at the western edge of .the Atlantic Coastal Plainwithin the. reworked flood plain of the Games River. Soils which have beendeposited in this area consist of. clays, sand, and. sand and gravel. The surfacematerials at the site consist of varying depths (l.to 10 inches) of crushed stone,plastic battery casing materials, sandy clay, and, in the central area of .the site, a 6inch thick concrete slab. A 3 to 8 foot thick layer of gray clay with brown sandseams exists under the surf ace layer. Beneath, this clay, at depths of up to 27 feet,there is a layer of. sandy clay... Under..the..sandy claY.thejreJs,a. 10-foot thick layerof fine to coarsersand. At 37 feet, course sand and gravel was encountered. Thedeepest coring on site reached 45 feet. ^Bedrock was not encountered at thatdepth. According to the available, general. background information from theliterature, the site is situated over the Cretaceous Formation. Based on structuralcontour geological maps of;the area, thin layers of .either the Cretaceous or theEocene could exist under the site. The physical characteristics of these materialsare described as mottled clay, glauconitil sands, and marcs with thick quartz basalsand. - - -- ----- -

Field observations indicate considerable compaction of the upper clay soil horizon.Low porosity, permeability, and drainage can be expected (see appendix E).

3.4 Groundwaters

Groundwater has been measured in. the previously described monitoring wells atdepths ranging from 37.to 42 feet below the surface elevation. At this depth, thegroundwater regime is_ located within_coarse sand and^gravel stratum. Flow ratesare expected to be controlled... .by primary porosity of the coarse sand and gravel.Flow direction, though not documented, is expected to be northward toward the3ames River. Local water supplies within a 1-mile radius of-the site are providedby groundwater sources.

3.5 Climate Meteorology

The site is located in an area which experiences warm summers and mild winterswith an average annual temperature of about 57 F. The normal annual totalprecipitation ranges "from 32 to 48 inches and the mean annual lake evaporation forthe area is 40 inches. Net precipitation, therefore, ranges from 0 to 8 inchesannually. The prevailing wind direction is to the south. _

_______ 3-2


3.6 Land Use

Land use.within a -1-mile radius of the site is a combination of-agricultural,commercial, industrial, and scattered residential. An oil storage facility is locateddirectly adjacent to the eastern boundary of the site and a vacant wood lot islocated along the western border. Several private Residential homes are locatedjust north of. the site, adjacent to the James River.

3*7 Population Distribution

Based on a- current. U.S.G.S..... topographic map interpretation, there areapproximately 50 to 65 residential dwellings, or approximately 190 to 250 persons,located within a "1-mile radius of the site. The majority of these homes are locatedsouthwest of the site. Within the general vicinity of the site, however, thepopulation distribution is 5catte~red. To the west of the Richmond Turnpike, whichtraverses north to south approximately 1 mile west of the site, the populationdistribution becomes more, dense with numerous small subdivisions and industrialpark developments. . . . . . . -_

3.8 Critical Environments

The Richmond National Battlefield Park is located approximately 700 feet directlywest o.f the C_£-B^attery site.. There are no known critical environments within 3miles of the site. - . "~-. '.:, ~" _ :""" -~ ;: ".; vi. :.~: "" ~~vT-":r~.= ~-. - "

SECTION 4


4.0 WASTE TYPES AND QUANTITIES

As previously described, activities on site have been limited to. battery processingfor lead recovery. According to Mr. Guyton, there.has been no waste disposalpractices (ie. iandfilling or the burial of other waste materials) on site since hebegan renting the site in 1970. Therefore, waste types associated with the she canbe identified as residual materials from battery processing. The exact quantity ofmaterials present on site at any one time varies with the level of production duringthat period. Based on the described on-site activities, the substances most likelyto be present include lead, lead sulfides, lead oxides, phthalates from casingmaterials, zink, sulfuric acid, and, potentially, copper, sulfates.

Analysis of soil samples gathered at the site have .shown high levels of lead andvariable pH values ranging from 12.3 to as low as.3.5. .....According to the SWCB,high levels of lead _faave_ also J>een found in groundwater and surface drainagesamples which have been collected by both the SWCB and Mr. Guyton, see appendix

REVISED PRQ.PO.SED SITE .RECLAMATION PLAN FOR C & R BATTERY SITE

BELLW'OOD ROAD, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VIRGINIA.

1. 'PROBLEM: Levels of_.lead..1a the soil as determined in a sampling program and

shown in the analysis report of Froehling and Robertson, Inc. dated

December 30, 1983 are such that upon excavation and/or removal of

the so.il and material from its in-situ condition would, by ERA

definition, make ..such material a 'Hazardous Waste1. With that situat-

ion all the regulations applying to 'Hazardous Wastes' handling and

disposal would apply. This" would result in an impractical disposal

problem in digging up the soil, loading, protecting in shipment, hauling

to a South Carolina site and dumping; and it has not been established

that the S.C. site will even accept the materials. The cost of this

would be well beyond the financial capacity of C & R Battery Company to

handle and would result in putting the firm out of business.

The-.pH values in the soil are such that lead could leach out into the

soils and would flow in the direction of movement of subterranean

water flow.

2. DATA OBTAINED: Froehling_and. Robertson__were requested to run laboratory tests

on the soil samples taken in December 1983 to determine the amount of

lime, needed to neutralize the,acid in the soil. As indicated in the

copy of their report, attached, dated April 17, 1984 they used a test

method based on ERA publication 600/2-78-054 which ERA determined

would allow soils to support vegetation in a reclamation process.

23 May 1984 ..,-.- -PROPOSED SITE RECLAMATION PLAN - C & R BATTERY SITE

3. CALCULATION METHODS: Using the results of the laboratory tests by F & R labs,

a copy of which is attached, the number of tons of lime were calculated

for an area controlled by each sampling point, and to a depth as tested.

This volume was computed using the Parts per Thousand indicated in the

tests. This methodology as referenced in the ERA publication mentioned

on Page 1 calls for the pH of the soil lime mixture to be raised to 6.5.

The calculation sheet dated May 8, 1984 indicates the amounts of

agriculture,! ground limestone required in each area. The total amount

of this type lime required is 100 tons to bring the pH to 6.5 if mixing

could be accomplished with laboratory precision.

4. PARAMETERS AND PROPOSED PLAN: Since the lime wil_l have to be mixed with the soil

by readily available grading and farm implements, a 502J excess will be

used to allow for the inevitable less than perfect mixing. In addition

C & R Battery management proposes to use a burnt lime, which has more

readily available (OH)~ hydroxyl ions.

It is proposed to plow the areas required to a depth of two feet, and

apply the lime in the quantities calculated including the 50% excess.

The soil-lime mixture will then be mixed by multiple rotary discs until

a uniform mixture is observed. A light sprinkling, 1 gallon per square

yard will be applied to promote the reaction if the soils are dry, or

if damp, no water will be added. This will permit an initial reaction

to take place between the lead and the lime forming lead hydroxide

Pb(OH)2 which is a very low solubility product. The excess hydroxyl

ion in the soil would preserve this condition. The area would then

be protected from percolating water that might remove this excess lime.

-2-

n A*23 May 1984 PROPOSED SITE RECLAMATION PLAN - C & R BATTERY SITE

We propose to accomplish this portion of the stabilization by capping

the area treated with a six inch layer of impervious clay, spread over

the top and in a two foot deep trench at the edges of the treated

area, all compacted to 95% Proctor.

The area now covered by the waste pond holding acidic wastes, will be

pumped out, and lime added with testing in the field to attain a pH

equal to that of the other areas.

All surfaces not covered by the industrial process operation or the

waste treatment facility will receive four inches of topsoil and be

seeded with fescue grass, with proper fertilization and protection

until a stand is obtained.

5. CONCLUSION: With this. treatment and capping, utilizing the burnt lime and the

50% excess we can expect a pH above 7 and well on the basic side of

neutral. The lead in the soil will have its solubility reduced and

lead migration will be reduced to the point where the industrial

process plant for battery reclamation could be placed on it and the

waste treatment plant to serve the process plant could be operated

without danger to the environment.

Dear Mr. Guyton:

The staff of the State Water Control Board has reviewed the revisedSite Reclamation Plan dated May 23, 1984 for the C&R Battery Company. Wereceived this plan on June 4, 1984.

The plan was also reviewed by staff of the State Department of Health,Bureau of Hazardous Waste Management. A copy of a letter dated June 25, 1984from Mr. Robert "Wickline is enclosed for your information.

We have the following questions and comments on the plan;

1. The soil pH must be raised to at least 9.5 standard units in order tostabilize the high concentrations of lead in the soil.

Agricultural lime (calcium carbonate) should be used to raise the pH asmuch as possible. Hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2) or burnt lime (CaO) shouldthen be used to raise the pH to 9.5. We recommend the use of hydratedlime because of the hazards of working with burnt lime.

Uniform lime application rates for the agricultural and hydrated orburnt lime should be used for the entire site. The rates would be thehighest rates indicated by the soil analyses. Calculations should besubmitted showing the amounts of agricultural and hydrated or burntlime to be used. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil layerswill be needed to determine the quantities of limes needed. A commerciallaboratory experienced in soil analysis should be able to make a recommend-ation on the quantities of the limes needed.

100052An Affirmative ActionftiqiLul Opportunity Employer

Mr. Charles L. GuytonPage 2 . __ <

2. A one-foot thick clay cap having a coefficient of permeability of1 x 10-7 cm/sec will be required. The cap should be placed and compactedin six inch lifts. The following information will be required on thematerial to be used for the clay cap: A map which locates and gives theexact dimensions of the borrow area for the material; the results from arepresentative number of samples from the borrow material analyzed perappropriate ASTM procedures for particle size analysis, plastic andliquid limits, and plasticity index; and laboratory permeability testingof the material at or up to 4Z above optimum water content compacted toat least 952 Standard Proctor Density or 90Z Modified Proctor Density.A technical specification detailing the atep-by-step placement of the capis also required.

A foot of clay (vs. the proposed six inches) is necessary to ensure thatan adequate cap is provided. It is difficult to achieve a uniform thicknessof six inches if only a single six inch layer is provided. Also, the State'sHazardous Waste Regulations indicate that a two feet thick clay cap is neededfor cover of hazardous wastes. Although this case does not involve hazardouswastes, the lead concentrations in the soil are very high and, in fact, thesoil was found to be toxic per the EP Toxicity Test. A one foot thick capis, therefore, appropriate, particularly, when compared to the original SiteReclamation Plan which provided for a six inch clay cap after soil with leadconcentrations in excess of 100 mg/kg had been removed.

The owner must ensure that the reclamation plan is performed in accordancewith the approved plans. In regard to the clay cap, this will include repre-sentative testing of each in-place lift to include water content and densityto show that the required permeability was obtained, and testing to demonstratethat the material actually used for the cap was the same material originallytested in the laboratory. We recommend that a geotechnical or soils engineerbe retained to supervise the performance of the reclamation plan and to dothe required testing. If a geotechnical or soils engineer is not hired, pleaseinclude with your response to this letter a plan for staff review and approvaldetailing the testing that you intend to do to demonstrate compliance with theapproved plans. Upon completion of the plan, a written statement that thereclamation plan was completed in accordance with the approved plans must besubmitted.

J. An eight to ten inch (minimum) layer of topsoil or a gravel cover will berequired over the clay for stabilization purposes. As indicated in therevised reclamation plan, the topsoil would be seeded with fescue grass andlime and fertilizer added to establish a good grass cover. Eight to teninches (minimum) of topsoil is needed for the grass to establish a healthyroot system and to provide enough moisture storage so that the grass canwithstand drought conditions.

Mr. Charles L. GuytonPage 3

- - ^

4. Please provide plans showing the finished grading of the site and the site1 drainage system. As mentioned in previous correspondence, a minimum slope

of 1Z is required on the finished site and positive drainage must be provided.

j 5. An erosion and sediment control plan should be prepared and submitted toI Chesterfield County for review and approval. This plan should address erosion

control during the performing of the reclamation plan and until a healthyI stand of grass is obtained. -

6. Please propose the location of three additional wells for ground water monitoringof the site. One of these three wells should be upgradient of the site.

J The existing 2-inch well installed in December 1983 should also be incorporated* into the monitoring program. The provision of one upgradient well and three

downgradient wells is consistent with the State's Hazardous Waste Regulationsj which provide appropriate guidance in this case*I • - , ; , . . - - , .

7. Sample results have not been submitted for sample location # 12. Pleaseprovide this data and revise the plan as appropriate.

8, Please comment on the results of the soil sample at location # 6. Thehigh pH values observed may be due to the sample containing lime, whichis located in this area.

9. Process and vehicle areas must be covered with concrete or asphalt, etc.to protect the clay cap.

Please resubmit the reclamation plan to address the above concerns.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact Mr. Ray Jenkins ofthis office.

We have reviewed che_J>ice Reclamation Plan dated May 23, Z984, for C&RBattery Company, Inc. as prepared by Cobaugh, Blanton Associates. Weenerally concur .with the scheme . proposed; however, there are some items ofhich y lu should be_-aware.

The materials in__the "...area now covered by wasce pond holding acidicwastes..." cannot be treated and disposed of in the .manner,, described in theplan. This would be-considered a.treatment of a hazardous waste, and thatactivity woul.d require" a permit from our program. The time and difficulty inacquiring such a permit 'would-probably be prohibitive. We suggest thesematerials be.-packaged without treatment, shipped and disposed of in accordancewith current Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations,

Field tests to verify' .the .amount of "lime needed to treat the soil shouldbe made before-proceeding (such verification is implied on the drawing, but itis not discussed in the plan). Lead in this soil matrix will be composed of

j sulfaces, carbonates, hydroxides and oxides of lead and some organo-leadj compounds. It -is difficult to predict the optimum pH for their precipitation;however, a pH of 9.5 might be a better target since this is in the normal

• range of lead hydroxide -precipitation. Tests could determine the optimal pHI for minimum lead-solubility. Also, a pH of 7.0 or greater is normally neededfor lead absorption on clays. " _ .

I T h e clay cap will be thin and delicate. Normally, additional sand, soiland vegetation would protect :the cap. Some method of keeping vehicles andactivity away from the-cap must be established.

GEOTECHNICAL STUDY

C & R BATTERY COMPANYCHESTERFIELD COUNTY, V I R G I N I A

INTRODUCTIONUpon the authorization of Mr, Lee R. Cobaugh, P.E., we

have completed a geotechnica] study at the site of the proposedimprovements._for.C & R Battery Company on Bellwood Road in Chesterfield County, V i r g i n i a . The purpose of our study was to provideprofessional opinions and recommendations concerning the soil de-sign criteria for the foundations of the structures and to deter-mine the depth to the water table. Our study included a recon-naissance of the site, review of" a previous investigation, testborings, installation of a ground water monitor well, and ananalysis of the collected data.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS . " " .The. soil in the top 3 feet is capable of supporting

the. .proposed concretetanks and _o_t_her minor structures. Them a x i m u m a l l o w a b l e soil pressure is 3500" psf.

On-site soil after stripping the top 8 to 12 inchescan possibly be used for constructing the berm after verificationwith additional testing.

The ground water level was 40 feet below the surfaceat the. time of our investigation.

DESCRIPTION OF SITE - - - - - - - - - ---C&R Battery Company is located on the north side of

Bellwood Road, near the ea.st end of the road, in Chesterfield "County, V i r g i n i a . The James River is about 1000 feet north ofthe si te.

The topography of the site is gently sloping to theeast. A drainage ditch is along the east property line and flowsto the north and eventually to the James River. The differencein elevation across the site is 3 to 4 feet. Drainage of thesite is fair to poor, with pockets of water standing over thesi te.

The site is cleared of vegetation except along thewestern property line and the northern end of the property.Equipment and plant structures are in scattered areas overthe si te. :: -" - .L-: .. - -- ----- - - -

The area lies at the western edge of the Atlantic Coast-al Plain physiographic province. The soils have been deposited aspart of an old reworked flood"plain of the James River. Soilstypically consist of clays, sands, and sands and gravels in vary-ing thickness of strata. Boulders and cobbles are found at depthsof 35 to 50 feet. "r " "- ~"~ """--'-

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTA layout plan entitled "C & R Battery, Inc," dated Janu-

ary 7, 1983, prepared by Hulcher & Associates, shows three concretetanks and other improvements, including.sp.il ber.ms around certainportions of the plant. One of the below-grade concrete tanks willbe 35 x 35 feet, and the other two w i l l be 50 x 50. The tankswill be in the ground about 6 feet, and the tops w i l l be flushwith the surface. ^

SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION . .. ... .. . •f'̂j'-;

Two test borings and a groundwater monitor well weremade at locations suggested by the engineer. The two testborings were made..at tank, locations, and the groundwater monitorwell was made near the third tank and the low point of the site,Two borings were drilled for the groundwater monitor well; oneto 20 feet, and the other to 45 feet. Groundwater was notpresent in the 20-foot boritng.

The test borings were made using a truck-mounted d r i l lrig with continuous-flight hollow-stem augers. Split-barrelsoil samples and stanBard penetration resistance values (N =blows per foot] were obtained simultaneously in accordance withASTM Method D-1585 at 2 feet,-4 feet, and then at 5-foot inter-vals to the bottom of each boring. Test borings 1 and 2 wered r i l l e d to depths of 25 and 15 feet respectively,

Bori ng _3"~w~as "drjLl.l ed for the groundwater monitor wellto 20 feet without sampling. Boring 4 was drilled for thegroundwater monitor well to 45 feet and was. sampled from 24 feetto the bottom of the boring at 5-foot intervals.

Observations were made in each boring for the presenceof groundwater. Logs of the borings are in the Appendix,

A 2-inch PVC pipe, with a 5-foot :screen and 0.01-inchopenings at the bottom was installed for the groundwater monitorwell. "Pea gravel was "placed"in ^the bottom 10 feet of the holearound the p i p e , and natural s o i 1_ u s e d t o backfill up to w i t h i n2 feet of" the surf ace T "=The~fi nal 2 feet were backfilled withconcrete. . . - - . , ... - - - ~. -

DESCRIPTION OF SOILThe site is covered with varying depths (1 to 10 inches)

-3-

100062

of crushed stone, pieces o.f batteries, and concrete pavement,A 6-inch concrete slab is around the processing and plant opera-tions areas." -----

Beneath the surface materials, there is a stratum ofmoderately firm gray clay with brown sand seams. The thicknessof the clay stratum is estimated at 3 to 8 feet. The clay isimpervious and has standard penetration resistance values of 9to 19 blows per foot.

From 3 to 8 feet to a depth of 27 feet, there is alayer of sandy clay. The sandy clay is moderately firm with Nvalues of 9 "to 22 blows per foot. At 22 feet there is a 1 to 2-foot thick gravel seam which protrudes into the sandy clay.

The sandy clay is underlain by a 10-foot thick l_ayerof fine to coarse sand, which is moderately dense. Starting at37 feet to the bottom of the deepest boring there is a densecoarse sand and gravel.

Groundwater was measured at 40 feet during d r i l l i n gand following installation of the monitor well.

DISCUSSIONSoil conditions for shallow foundations are good at

this site, after stripping of the surface debris. The gray claynear the surface and the underlying sandy clay stratum are capa-ble of pr o v i d i n g satisfactory support for spread or continuousfootings.,., In the top 8 feet the allowable soil pressure is3500 psf 'for the undisturbed clayey soils.

The weight of the overburden soil removed in excava-ting for the proposed tanks will exceed the weight the tankswill exert on the soil at a depth of 6 feet.

The natural clay soil found on the site could possiblyhe used for constructing the berms after additional investigation.

100063

It will be necessary that we sample and test the clay to determine if the clay has the desired soil characteristics for theberm. .._ . ' . . ' ' . - .

Groundwater is present in the coarse sand and gravelstratum which begins"at a depth of 37 feet below the surface.-Water was measured in the monitor well on December 20, 1983 at40 feet below the surface. The water level is approximatelythe level of the James River and the ground water level can beexpected to vary with the level of the river.

LIMITATIONSThe analyses and recommendations submitted i-n this re-

port are based upon the data obtained from soil borings performedat the locations shown on the sketch in the Appendix. This re-port does not reflect any variations which may occur betweenthese borings. T h e. n a t u re"and extent of variations between theborings may not become evident until construction is underway.If variations become evident, this firm should be notified sothat immediate'observations can be made of the conditions andappropriate recommendations can be rendered.

This' report has been prepared for Cobaugh & Associatesto be used in the design of the proposed structures. Anyoneusing this report for any purpose other than design of the struc-tures described herein must draw his own conclusions regardingconstruction procedures and soil conditions.

We recommend that this report in its entirety, includ-ing the Appendix, be furnished as information to prospectivebidders. We disclaim all responsibility and liability for anypart which is removed, quoted, or reproduced separately fromthe entire report.

NOTES TO BORING LOGS

These notes refer to and are a part of the accompanying boring logs.

1. The borings were made,by a boring contractor under the continuousobservation of an engineer of Sayre & Associates. These boring logswere compiled from Sayre & Associates field logs and the results ofvisual examination of the soil samples in our laboratory.

2. The logs of timberings apply only at the specific boring locationsand at the dates indicated. They are not warranted to be representa-tive of subsurface conditions at other locations and times.

3. The depth of the indicated boundaries between soil or rock strata isapproximate. The transition"between the strata may be gradual.

4. The ground water levels shown on the boring logs represent average ortypical values observed during the period of the boring operation orshortly after completion of a boring. These observations do not re-flect seasonal changes in the water table or the effects of intenserainfall or runoff. -In any excavation, trickling flow or seepage maybe encountered from perched water ̂ hich is at levels above the watertable observed in the borings.

5. Soil samples recovered from the borings and which remained afterlaboratory testing have been stored at Ayers & Ayers, Inc., Richmond,Virginia, ~and are available for inspection by appointment. The soilsamples will be discarded sixty days after completion of the boringsunless a request is received to retain them for a longer period.

6. The locations of borings were determined by tape measurement from the .chain link fence just east of the property. Elevations of borings wereapproximately determined by interpolation between plan contours. Thelocation and elevation of the borings should be considered accurateonly to the degree implied by the method used.

'Re: Summary of Field Exploration

C&R Battery WorksChesterfield Co., VA

Gentlemen:

Included herein are descriptions of the hand probe borings performed on December

19, 1983 at C&R Battery Works , Bellwood Road, Richmond, VA. The descriptions include

total depth, depth and number of samples procured from each probe and, in some instan<

a material description" of the .soils encountered in the probes.

Probes -T-5, "HP-4, HP-2-s--HP-2A, and HP-1A met auger refusal at depths shallower

than 2.0 feet as noted in the descriptions. Probe HP-1 was offset .±5.0 feet in order

to obtain sample two (S-2) from 1.0 to"2.0 feet. Surveyed markers for HP-2, HP-9A,

and HP-10 were disturbed.prior to"our arrival at the site, and these probes were re-

located in the "f.ield by tape measure.

Samples: vere^""placc.d .immedint-ely .in plastic _js_;iTiiple bagb, properly labeled and

fastened to ninimix-c the possibility of contamination.

Very truly yours,
