GEOCHECIO - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY <br /> L__ 7 1 <br /> GROUNDWATER FLOW VELOCITY INFORMATION <br /> Groundwater flow velocity information for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional <br /> using site specific geologic and soil strata data. If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary <br /> to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil <br /> characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general,contaminant plumes ' <br /> move more quickly through sandy-gravelly types of soils than silty-clayey types of soils. <br /> GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IN GENERAL AREA OF TARGET PROPERTY ' <br /> Geologic information can be used by the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the relative speed <br /> at which contaminant migration may be occurring. <br /> ROCK STRATIGRAPHIC UNIT GEOLOGIC AGE IDENTIFICATION ' <br /> Era: Cenozoic ry <br /> Categ o Stratifed Sequence <br /> System: Quaternary <br /> Series: Quaternary ' <br /> Code: Q (decoded above as Era, System&Series) <br /> Geologic Age and Rock Stratigraphic Unit Source:P.G.

Soils are clayey, have a high <br /> water table,or are shallow to an impervious layer. <br /> Soil Drainage Class: Moderately well drained.Soils have a layer of low hydraulic ' <br /> conductivity,wet state high in the profile. Depth to water table is 3 <br /> to 6 feet. <br /> Hydric Status:Soil does not meet the requirements for a hydric soil. , <br /> Corrosion Potential-Uncoated Steel: HIGH <br /> Depth to Bedrock Min: >60 inches ' <br /> Depth to Bedrock Max: >60 inches <br /> • <br /> TC1113477.5s Page A-4 <br /> 1 <br />
