INTRODUCTION On September 26, 2016 Mark Iverson, Professional Soil Scientist #197 and Certified Soil Tester #46672, completed an interpretive onsite soils evaluation. An interpretive evaluation is required because the site does not meet the requirements to install a new private on -site waste treatment system (POWTS) through completion of a conventional onsite soils evaluation (<A+4 inches of acceptable soil must be present). The onsite evaluation was completed through the observation of the soil profiles at five test pit locations. This report has been prepared to present the results of an interpretive onsite soils evaluation. The evaluation was completed at the request of the client, Brandon Sales. The property is located at 893 1301h Street in the Township of Warren, St. Croix County, Wisconsin. An interpretive evaluation is necessary for the area encompassed by B-1, B-2, and B-3. See Appendix A. It is likely that a lot line will be placed in an east west orientation through B-1. The area around B-1, B-2A, and B-3A is suitable for a conventional mound. In the event that a larger system area is required and the property is not divided into separate lots, the soil information for B-2A and B-3A was included with this report. A separate soil test will be submitted to the county for the area encompassed by B-1, B- 2A, and B-3A. II. PROJECT INFORMATION The following is site -specific background information: Property Owner: Brandon Sales 412 Red Brick Road Hudson, WI 54016 Site Location: 893 130th Street NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4, Sec. 231, Town 29N, Range 18W Parcel ID # 042-1064-80-50 Town of Warren St. Croix County Historic Land Use: Farmed or pastured over 25 years ago Current Land Use: Vacant Vegetation: The vegetation within the tested area consists of miscellaneous grasses and shrubs with a few trees. There are no signs of stress within the tested area due to excess or insufficient moisture. III. METHOD This interpretive evaluation and report was completed following the guidelines set forth in Comm 85.60(2) of the Wisconsin Administrative Code and in the summary provided by Leroy Jansky titled, "Preparing the Interpretive Determination Report" (March 13, 2002). IV. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS A. Local Hydrology 1. Surface Water Drainage Patterns — The site has a uniform slope. Surface water drainage likely occurs by sheet flow from the east to the west. There were no surface water drainage patterns observed within the tested area. The proposed system location is on the backslope. The slope within the proposed system area is approximately 5 to 8%. 2. Subsurface Water Drainage - The clay loam texture and occational weak structural grade within the 2nd or 3rd horizons of the tested area provide poor infiltration of water. However the moderate structural grade of the surface horizon, combined with the 5 to 8 % slope, provides opportunity for lateral flow down slope. During and immediately following frozen conditions and following heavy precipitation events, runoff will be much greater. 3. Artificial Drainage Devices — No artificial drainage devices were observed during the completion of the evaluation. 4. Contributing Drainage Area — The proposed system area is located on the backslope of the hill slope profile. The summit of the profile is located over 100 feet east of the proposed installation contour. There is contributing drainage area up slope of the tested area. A surface water diversion ditch will need to be constructed to limit the effects of potential surface water received from upslope. 5. Soil Saturation— Saturated soil was observed in B-4 at 10" below surface and in B-2 at 16" below surface. 6. Surface Water Elevations — No surface water was observed within the immediate vicinity. B. Geomorphology 1. Parent Material — The parent material is loess over glacial outwash/till. 2. Landform Type — Ground moraines. C. Soil Disturbance and Hydraulic Modifications The proposed system location is on vacant land. No hydraulic modifications, such as drain tile or ditches, were observed at the time of the assessment. No additional surface water is received from impervious surfaces. 2 D. Landscape Position and Local Topography The regional topography is shown on figure 1. The ground surface elevation is approximately 1080 feet mean sea level (msl). The topography within the proposed system area is shown on the site map included in Appendix A. The proposed system elevation is 100.00 feet (site specific elevation). The shape of the slope within the proposed system area is linear (perpendicular to the contour) and linear (parallel to the contour). /FIGURE 1— USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAP t t L, 1065 040 f022.

Soil Series and Mapping Units The Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey maps the soils on the property as Floyd silt loam (FdA), Skyberg silt loam (SrA), and Vlasaty silt loam (VaB). The location of each soil type is identified on Figure 2. The primary soil characteristics as described in the series descriptions are identified on the Table 1. 3 41 TABLE I — SOIL SERIES CHARACTERISTICS Texture I Parent Material I Permeability Soil Series A Horizon E or B Horizon Surface Subsurf.

Wetland Inventory Map The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources surface water viewer was reviewed to identify wetlands mapped on the property. The wetland inventory map is included as figure 3. No wetlands are mapped on the property; however soils that commonly have wetland indicators are mapped. FIGURE 3 — WETLAND INVENTROY MAP Test Location G. Field Observations The soil present within the proposed system area is not similar to the mapped soil unit Skyberg, identified on the Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey. The soil on site lacks the low chroma colors of Skyberg and also has more clay present in the 2nd and 3`d horizon than Skyberg. The soil logged in the test pits has more characteristics similar to Vlasaty. The A horizon extends 8 to 11 inches below surface within the proposed system area (Borings 1, 2, 3 and 4). Granular to blocky structure with weak to moderate grade is dominant in the surface horizon (A). Medium to coarse blocky structure with weak to moderate grade is present greater than 12" below the surface horizon. The soil profile descriptions were complete 20 to 30 inches below surface. Soil compaction was not observed within the tested area. The soil on site does not meet the hydric soil criteria. The lack of hydric soils indicates that the soil is likely not saturated for greater than 5% of the growing season (approximately 7 consecutive days). A dominance of hydrophytic vegetation was not observed within the proposed system area. The lack of these features does not preclude the possibility that the soil is saturated for a prolonged period of time prior to or on occasion during the growing season. H. Comparative Analysis Soil borings (B-1, B-2, and B-3) were completed within the proposed system area. Two additional borings were completed, one upslope (B-5) and one down slope (B-4) of the proposed system area. The texture, structure, and depth to redox features of borings 5 were similar to that of the tested area. The down slope boring, B-4, had more common and prominent mottling as well as low chroma colors in the soil profile. Saturated soils were not observed in Borings 1, 3, or 5. However the soil was saturated in B-2 at 16" below surface and in B-4 at 10" below surface. The high water levels in B-2 and B-4 are partially due to the very wet summer and over 2" of precipitation received on site the week prior. Government Reports and Comments No other government reports have been observed for this property. V. Conclusions and Recommendations Seasonal saturation appears to be limited to greater than 8 inches below surface within the proposed system area, the majority of the time. The lack of soil dominated by low chroma colors within the proposed system area indicates that the redoximorphic features observed are not due to a high water table or perching conditions. The cause of the redox features observed in the test pits is most likely attributed to short-term seasonal saturation due to slow permeability of the dense glacial subsoils. The site is suitable for installation of a POWTS (mound system) for the following reasons: 1.) Redoximorphic features were not observed in the upper 9 inches of soil within the proposed system area. 2.) Neither hydric soils nor a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation are present within the proposed system area. 3.) The slope at the proposed system location is 5 to 8%. The slope is uniform with no dips or valleys at the proposed system location. 4.) The lack of soil dominated by low chroma colors indicates that the redoximorphic features observed at depth are due to temporary seasonal saturation and not from a permanently high water table or perching condition. 6 The following recommendations should be considered during installation of the proposed system: l . The system should be installed on the 100.0' contour to stay within the tested area. 2. Sand fill shall consist of 2.5' of material meeting ASTM C-33 specifications. 3. The basal loading rate shall not exceed 0.2 GPD/ft2. 4. The system shall be designed to have a linear loading rate of 4.5 GPD/ft or less. 5. The system will follow the contour (100.0') and be nearly linear. 6. The area upslope of the mound must be altered to limit the influence of surface water received from upslope. The final approval of this site must be made by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce and the St. Croix County Zoning Department.
