1 Introduction

1.1 It is proposed to develop a parcel of land located to the south of Thyme House, Abbots Bromley in

Staffordshire. It is understood that the proposals include the construction of five detached properties with

associated parking and gardens. An illustrative proposed layout, prepared by Neil Boddison Associates

Limited, is included within the appendix.

1.2 GIP Ltd were instructed by GHW Consulting to carry out a Phase I desk study and Phase II intrusive

investigation for the proposed development, the results of which are included within this report. The scope

of the investigation was specified by GHW Consulting. The Phase I desk study comprised the undertaking

of a site walkover by a geo-environmental engineer from GIP and the consultation of historical and

geological maps of the site area. Information made available by the Environment Agency was also

consulted and the environmental setting of the site assessed.

1.3 This was followed by a Phase II intrusive investigation which comprised the excavation of machine dug pits

to assess the prevailing foundation engineering geology with regards to future construction, together with

assessing the contaminative status of the site. A number of soakaway tests were carried out to assess the

permeability of the underlying strata and eight California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests were carried out to aid

in pavement construction. The locations of the exploratory positions are shown on the appended Drawing

No. 1.

1.4 Geotechnical laboratory testing has been undertaken by GIP Limited. The laboratory tests are accredited

by the United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS). The laboratory tests, carried out in accordance

with British Standards (BS) 1377 (Ref. 1) where appropriate, are detailed in Table 1 below, the results of

which are included within the appendix. Contamination, Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) and concrete

classification tests have been undertaken by Alcontrol Laboratories, the results of which are appended.

Table 1: Geotechnical laboratory testing undertaken by GIP.

1.5 This report contains a description of the site, anticipated geology and strata encountered together with

comments and recommendations upon the foundation engineering geology with respect to the construction

of the proposed residential development. An environmental risk assessment is provided which includes

comments on the potential for contamination to affect Controlled Waters and Human Health (future users)

together with possible remedial measures. It is outside the scope of this report to comment on issues

regarding ground gases.

1.6 We are confident that the conclusions drawn from the findings of this investigation and desk study are

appropriate for the proposed development. However, we cannot guarantee that they would be accepted by

regulatory authorities without question. It is recommended that the reports are submitted and approval

gained from such bodies prior to the undertaking of detailed design, construction work or other irreversible

processes.

2 The Site

2.1 Site Location

2.1.1 The proposed development is situated to the west of Lichfield Road, Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire.

National Grid Reference 408420, 324010 denotes the approximate centre of the site.

2.2 Site Layout

2.2.1 At the time of the site walkover, the site comprised an approximately rectangular shaped parcel of land

which was characterised by grass at surface. The eastern boundary was marked by a mature hedge,

beyond which was Lichfield Road, with Thyme House to the north of the site. The wider area was

characterised by agricultural land.

2.3 Historical Considerations and Environmental Setting

2.3.1 A Groundsure Report has been obtained for the site which gives details of historical site usage and also

comments upon the environmental setting of the site. The Groundsure Report is reproduced within the

appendix.

Old Ordnance Survey Records

2.3.2 The Groundsure Report contains a number of historical maps covering the site area, the salient

morphological features of which can be summarised as follows.

Mapping Date : 1882 - 1923

The first available map shows the site to lie within a wider parcel of unoccupied land. Lichfield Road

borders the site to the east with a number of detached residential properties to the north and south east,

some of which have Wells associated with them. Town End Farm is located to the north with a number of

ponds within the wider area.

of 17

Mapping Date : 1969 – Present Day

The 1969 edition shows a number of residential properties have been constructed on the eastern side of

Lichfield Road. The site remains unoccupied with the wider area remaining predominantly agricultural in

nature.

Environmental Setting

2.3.3 The Groundsure Report also contains information made available by the Environment Agency and other

regulatory bodies and this can be used to assess the environmental setting of the site. The main findings

can be summarised as follows:

Authorisations, Incidents and Registers

► There are no IPC or IPPC Authorisations within 500m of the site.

► There is no record of any Water Industry Act Referral (potentially harmful discharges to the public sewer)

within 500m of the site.

► There is no record of any Red List (potentially harmful discharges to Controlled Waters) sites located within

500m of the site.

► There is no record of any List 1 or List 2 Dangerous Substance Inventory Sites within 500m of the site.

► There are no records of any Part A or Part B Activities and Enforcements within 500m of the site.

► There are no records of Category 3 or 4 Radioactive Substance Licenses within 500m of the site.

► The nearest Licensed Discharge Consent is located 459m to the south of the site.

► There are no records of any Planning Hazardous Substance Consents and Enforcements within 500m.

► There are no COMAH & NIHHS sites located within 500m of the site.

► There are no Environment Agency recorded pollution incidents within 500m of the site.

► There are no sites within 500m determined as ‘Contaminated Land’ under Section 78R of the

Environmental Protection Act 1990.

of 17

Waste

► There are no operational landfill sites located within 1000m of the site.

► The nearest recorded historical landfill site is recorded 790m to the west which accepted ‘household’

waste. No details on the last date of input are noted. It is a commonly accepted principal that only landfills

within 250m are deemed as being within influencing distance of a site.

Hydrology and Hydrogeology

► In terms of Groundwater Vulnerability, the Mercia Mudstone Formation strata beneath the site is classed as

a ‘Secondary (B) Aquifer’. The superficial deposits are noted to be a ‘Secondary (A) Aquifer’.

► There are no groundwater, surface water or potable water abstraction licenses within 1000m of the site.

► The nearest surface water feature is a pond 127m to the south east of the site.

► The site is not located within a Source Protection Zone.

Environmental Sensitivity

► There are no SSSIs, National Nature Reserves, Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas,

Ramstar sites, World Heritage Sites, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty or National Parks within 1000m

of the site.

► There are no Environmentally Sensitive Areas within 1000m of the site.

► The site is within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.

Radon

► No radon protective measures are deemed necessary in the construction of new buildings.

3 Fieldwork

3.1 General Comments

3.1.1 The prevailing ground conditions were determined with the use of machine excavated trial pits. All the

exploratory holes were undertaken, where appropriate, in accordance with BS5930 (Ref. 2). The positions of

the exploratory holes, as determined by the proposed site layout, are detailed upon the appended Drawing

No. 1.

of 17

3.2 Machine Excavated Trial Pits

3.2.1 Six machine dug trial pits were excavated to depths of between 2.30m (TPs 1 and 4) and 4.30m (TPs 2

and 5) ground level using a wheeled, backacting, hydraulic excavator (JCB 3CX) to investigate the

geotechnical design parameters of the near surface soils and obtain samples for geotechnical and

contamination testing. Hand vane tests were carried out in the cohesive soils to better refine the shear

strength of the materials. Soakaway tests were carried out in TPs 1 and 2 to assess the permeability of the

prevailing ground conditions. Engineer verified logs are included within the appendix together with the

results of the soakaway tests.

Soil Sampling

3.2.2 Soil samples were collected for contamination analyses and placed into appropriate sampling containers

(plastic tubs, amber jars and vials). The samples were then placed in cool boxes which contained ice

packs and collected by courier for delivery to Alcontrol Laboratories.

4 Ground Conditions

4.1 Published Geological Information

4.1.1 Within the accuracy of the available geological information (Ref. 3) the ‘solid’ geology beneath the area of the

site comprises the Mercia Mudstone Formation of the Triassic Period. Superficial deposits are shown to

be present overlying the ‘solid’ geology in the area of the site.

4.2 Strata Encountered

4.2.1 For full details of the strata encountered by the exploratory holes of this investigation, reference should be

made to the appended logs. However, the salient features of the engineering geology horizons are

summarised below.

Made Ground / Topsoil: encountered in all positions to depths of between 0.20m (TP6) and 0.40m (TPs

1, 3 and 4) as sand with gravel of quartz and sandstone. This horizon is typical of what would be expected

given the historically undeveloped nature of the site. No visual or olfactory evidence of contamination (e.g.

stains or odours) was recorded within any of the recovered soils.

Superficial Deposits: revealed beneath the Made Ground in all positions as variably medium dense sand

and stiff clay. These strata contained gravel of quartz and sandstone and occasional sandstone cobbles.

No visual or olfactory evidence of contamination (e.g. stains or odours) was recorded within any of the

recovered soils.

of 17

Mercia Mudstone Formation: revealed beneath the superficial soils in all positions from depths of

between 1.10m (TP4) and 2.00m (TP1) as firm becoming stiff and very stiff red brown coloured clay with

mudstone lithorelicts. This strata represents the uppermost weathered horizon of the Mercia Mudstone

Formation. No visual or olfactory evidence of contamination (e.g. stains or odours) was recorded within

any of the recovered soils.

4.3 Groundwater

4.3.1 During the excavation of the pits, the granular superficial deposits were revealed to be saturated in parts

within TPs 2 and 5 from as shallow as 1.00m. This likely reflects perched groundwater within the

superficial soils.

of 17

5 Comments & Recommendations : Geotechnical Considerations

5.1 General Comments

5.1.1 Appropriate comments are presented below upon the prevailing foundation engineering geology revealed

by the exploratory holes of this investigation with respect to the construction of a new residential

development on land to the south of Thyme House, Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire. It is understood that

the proposals include the construction of five detached properties with associated parking and gardens. An

illustrative proposed layout, prepared by Neil Boddison Associates Limited, is included within the appendix.

An assessment of contamination in terms of impact on Human Health and Controlled Waters is also

included within Section 6. It is outside the scope of this report to comment on ssues regarding ground

gases.

5.2 Foundation Design

5.2.1 The Made Ground is considered in its existing state to be unsuitable to constitute a reliable formation

horizon for any form of traditional style of foundation without the risk of unpredictable and excessive levels

of total or differential settlements.

5.2.2 From a visual observation of the underlying superficial and residual soils together with the results of the in

situ shear vane testing carried out within the cohesive soils, the natural soils beneath the site are believed

sufficiently competent to support traditional style strip / trench fill foundations for the proposed new

residential structures. Future foundations should be extended through the Made Ground and bear within

the underlying medium dense granular superficial soils or firm and stiff cohesive superficial and residual

soils. Care should be taken to fully penetrate any soft or loose horizons (if encountered) and bear within

more competent strata below. Upon exposure at the time of construction the formation horizon should be

carefully inspected by a suitably qualified and experienced engineer to ensure that it is adequately firm or

dense and any soft or loose horizons encountered are excavated and replaced with lean mix concrete or

well compacted clean granular materials (e.g. Department for Highways Series 600 6F1/6F2).

5.2.3 It is likely that in places the foundations will be required to span contrasting granular and cohesive

formation horizons within the superficial and residual soils. Hence, suitable mesh reinforcement should be

incorporated where necessary within the top and bottom of the foundations in these areas to accommodate

any minor differential settlements. This measure can, however, be dispensed with where the mass of

concrete in the foundation outweighs the beneficial effects of the reinforcement (e.g. trench fill

foundations).

of 17

5.2.4 On the basis of the exploratory works carried out to date, upon an adequately competent natural strata,

presumed nett design bearing pressures in the order of 120kN/m2 could be available for standard strip /

trench fill footings up to 1m wide. At such bearing pressures, settlements have been estimated as being

less than 25mm.

Support to Excavations

5.2.5 It is recommended that excavations below 1.00m should be fully supported throughout, as wholesale

collapse in trenches in Made Ground or natural granular materials could occur if left open for extended

periods. Full trench support will therefore be necessary whenever site operatives are working below 1.00m

depth (e.g. for the emplacement of foundations and services) and an allowance be made for some

overbreak of unsupported trenches. This may even require shuttering if collapses are significant. It should

be noted that whilst the sidewalls of the majority of the pits remained stable throughout excavation, side

collapse was recorded within the granular superficial soils in TP2. Practical guidance on trench excavation

is given in CIRIA Report 97 ‘Trenching Guidance’. Guidance on groundwater control is given in CIRIA

Repot 113 ‘Control of Groundwater for Temporary Works’. Any temporary works should be designed by a

suitably qualified engineer or competent person, particularly where personnel access is necessary, in

accordance with the requirements with of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations.

Groundwater Control

5.2.6 During the excavation of the trial pits, the granular superficial deposits were revealed to be saturated in

parts within TPs 2 and 5 from as shallow as 1.00m. This likely represents perched groundwater within the

granular superficial soils. It is likely that there will be some degree of groundwater influx into foundation

excavations and groundwater control may be required. It is noted that levels of groundwater can vary

seasonally and ingress may be greater in volume and shallower in wetter weather. If there is groundwater

ingress into the excavations, the use of pumping from sumps could be adopted. Where ingress is constant

then continuous pumping may be needed or an alternative solution considered such as well pointing.

Reference should be made to specialist dewatering contractors for further advice.

Wells and Pumps

5.2.7 The historical maps detail the presence of a number of pumps within the surrounding area, however no

such features are shown within the boundaries of the proposed development plot. It is, however,

recommended that a close watch be kept for such features during development works and should any

such features be uncovered (e.g. buried, circular brickwork) then they are infilled to an appropriate

structural specification and capped at surface to ensure future stability.

of 17

5.3 Concrete Classification

5.3.1 Concrete classification tests have been carried out by Alcontrol Laboratories upon selected soil samples in

accordance with those listed in Building Research Establishment (BRE) Special Digest 1 (Ref. 4) and the

results are included within the appendix, listed together with the contamination analyses. These tests

determine the class of concrete for any future development and in view of the presence of shallow

groundwater beneath the site it is recommended that the ACEC class of AC-1 is adopted for the design of

buried concrete structures (e.g. foundations for the proposed houses).

5.4 Geotechnical Laboratory Tests

Index Property Tests

5.4.1 Two index property tests have been carried out upon samples of the cohesive residual soils and the results

are included within the appendix together with an A line plot. These tests classify the soils as being of high

plasticity and medium volumetric change potential in accordance with NHBC Standards Chapter 4.2 (Ref. 5)

modified by BRE Digest 240 (Ref. 6). The NHBC Standards recommend a minimum foundation depth of

0.90m where medium volume change potential soils are present. There are a number of mature and semi

mature trees along the site boundaries. It is recommended that an arboreal survey be undertaken to

identify the species and maturity of the trees and enable the depth of construction to be determined for

foundations upon cohesive strata proximal to removed or retained trees.

Particle Size Distribution

5.4.2 Two sieving tests have been carried out on samples of the superficial soils which have been used to refine

the soil description. These may be of use to specialist contractors.

5.5 Soakaway Design

5.5.1 This phase of works has included an assessment of the suitability of the prevailing ground conditions for

constructing soakaways to deal with surface water drainage. Soakaway tests were carried out within TPs 1

and 2 as shown on the appended Drawing No. 1, in general accordance with the guidelines detailed in

Building Research Establishment (BRE) Digest 365 (Ref. 7). The tests have shown the strata to be

practically impermeable and therefore an alternative method should be utilised to deal with surface water

drainage.

of 17

5.6 Pavement Design

5.6.1 It is understood that it is proposed to construct an access road and parking facilities for the new properties.

The exploratory holes of this investigation have recorded granular Made Ground to depths of between

0.20m and 0.40m, underlain by variably granular and cohesive superficial soils.

5.6.2 Eight in situ California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests have been carried out in the area of the proposed new

road at locations detailed upon the appended Drawing No. 1. The soils exposed at the test depths

comprised granular Made Ground and granular and cohesive superficial deposits, full descriptions of which

are provided on the appended CBR results sheets. The results sheets are included within the appendix

and have produced CBR values as shown in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Summary of CBR results in the area of the proposed new road

Test Location Depth (m) CBR Value

(%)

Moisture Content

(%)

Material Tested

CBR1 0.30 6.4 8.9 Granular superficial

CBR2 0.30 6.1 19 Granular superficial

CBR3 0.30 5.0 17 Granular Made Ground

CBR4 0.30 3.0 17 Cohesive superficial




CBR8 0.30 4.7 19 Granular Made Ground

5.6.3 As a general guide to pavement construction and taking into account any improvement due to proof rolling

and Transport and Road Research Laboratory (TRRL) Report LR1132 (Ref. 8), as the area will in all

likelihood be underlain by variably granular and cohesive soils, a design CBR value of 2% is recommended

for the construction of hardstanding associated with the construction of the new road. Any inferior pockets

revealed at the time of construction should be removed and replaced with a well compacted clean granular

material (e.g. Series 600 6F1/6F2). It is cautioned that where cohesive soils are encountered near

surface, they may be susceptible to softening in wet weather and when repeatedly tracked across. As

such, the CBR values available can be expected to vary with moisture content and degree of reworking.

6 Comments and Recommendations : Assessment of Contamination

6.1 Initial Conceptual Site Model

6.1.1 In accordance with Environment Agency (EA) document CLR11 ‘Model Procedures for the Management of

Land Contamination’ (Ref. 9) the information from the desk study and site investigation have been used to

generate a preliminary risk assessment. The purpose of this is to develop an initial Conceptual Site Model

(CSM) to establish whether there are any potentially unacceptable risks present and determine the action

required to provide further information to refine the model.

6.1.2 On the basis of the information available to date there are a number of contaminant linkages between

sources and receptors. These are discussed below.

Potential Sources of Contamination

• Potential On Site Historical Contaminant Sources

6.1.3 An examination of the historical maps shows the site to have been within a wider parcel of unoccupied

agricultural land from the earliest available plan (1882) until the present day. Therefore the risk of historical

on site activities causing contamination is thought to be ‘low’.

• Potential On Site Current Contaminant Sources

6.1.4 At the time of this investigation, the site was unoccupied and relatively level at surface. During the site

walkover, there were no obvious surface sources (e.g. fuel tanks) that could be causing contamination of

the underlying soils and groundwater. The investigation has revealed the presence of Made Ground /

Topsoil to as deep as 0.40m which represents a potential source of contamination. However, no visual or

olfactory evidence of contamination was noted in the recovered soils. Therefore, on the basis of the

observations made to date, there is a ‘low’ risk of current on site sources of contamination.

• Potential Off Site Contaminant Sources

6.1.5 The historical information shows the area directly surrounding the site to have been agricultural land, with a

number of detached residential properties in the vicinity. It is unlikely that historical off site activities could

have led to significant contamination of the soils and groundwater in the surrounding area which could lead

to the migration of contaminated groundwater onto the site, and the risk is considered to be ‘low’.

of 17

Potential Receptors

Human Health • Humans including construction workers and future occupiers of the proposed new

residential properties.

Controlled Waters • Groundwater present beneath the site within the superficial deposits.

Other Receptors • Building Substructures.

Potential Pathways

Human Health • Skin / eye contact, ingestion and inhalation during site development and by contact

/ inhalation from future occupiers.

• Ingestion of vegetables and soil adhering to vegetables propagated within the

gardens.

Controlled Waters • Percolating water may act to mobilise contaminants and transport them

downwards under gravity towards the water table.

6.2 Potential Contaminants of Concern

6.2.1 The contamination testing has included for a range of contaminants specified by GHW Consulting,

including the following:

• Arsenic

• Cadmium

• Chromium (hexavalent)

• Copper

• Lead

• Mercury

• Nickel

• Selenium

• Vanadium

• Zinc

• Cyanide

• Phenols

• Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (speciated)

• Petroleum Hydrocarbons (speciated)

• Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene

(BTEX)

• Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE)

of 17

6.3 Contamination Analyses

6.3.1 In order to assess the potential for contamination, five samples of the near surface soils were forwarded to

Alcontrol Laboratories for analysis for a range of contaminants in accordance with the Conceptual Site

Model. The samples tested appeared to be representative of the soils present upon the site. It should be

appreciated that there remains the potential for unidentified areas of contamination to exist. Suspect areas

as may be identified in the future would have to be further investigated / assessed. Risk assessment work

has its limitations and uncertainties ranging from those introduced by the type and quality of the data,

analytical methods through to the model chosen.

Soils Analysis: Assessment of Risk to Human Health

6.3.2 The CLEA (Contaminated Land Exposure Assessment) model combines information on the toxicity of soil

contaminants with estimates of potential exposure by adults and children living, working and/or playing on

land affected by contamination over long periods of time. It predicts the amount of contaminant to which

they might be exposed based on a given soil contaminant concentration. By comparing predicted

exposure with health criteria values on tolerable or acceptable contaminant intakes the model can be used

to generate Critical Concentrations (Cc).

6.3.3 The soils analytical data is compared to the Cc using the statistical methods outlined in ‘Guidance on

Comparing Soil Contamination Data with a Critical Concentration’ (Ref. 10). For this site, the results have

been analysed using in-house GIP software. Excel spreadsheets generated from the analysis are included

within the appendix.

6.3.4 The aim of the assessment is to prove, or otherwise, that the land under investigation is suitable for the

intended use in that the level of contamination is low compared to an appropriate measure of risk. In

statistical terms this question is assessed using formal hypotheses. These are known as the Null

Hypothesis (whereby the true mean concentration of a given contaminant is greater than or equal to the Cc

[H0 µ ≥ Cc]), and the Alternative Hypothesis (whereby the true mean is less than the critical value [H1 µ ≤

Cc]). If the Null Hypothesis is rejected (i.e. the Alternative Hypothesis is proven correct) then the land is

deemed suitable for the intended use. If the Null Hypothesis is proven correct then the land is deemed

unsuitable for the intended use or remediation is necessary to render it suitable for the intended use.

6.3.5 Initially, generic Cc have been used as a screening process adopting Soil Screening Values (SSVs)

produced by Atkins Consultants and available from the ATRiskSoil web site (Ref. 11). As it is proposed to

construct a number of houses upon the site, threshold values for Residential with Plant Uptake end usage

have been adopted for this assessment. Where Category 4 Screening Levels (C4SLs) produced by the

Department for the Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) or Soil Guideline Values (SGVs) as produced

by DEFRA / Environment Agency (EA) are available, these are adopted in preference to SSVs.

Results – Soil Testing

Metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, vanadium, zinc), Cyanide and Phenols

6.3.6 The results of the analyses of a total of five samples are included within the appendix together with the

statistical assessment. As detailed on the appended CLEA excel spreadsheets, no statistical outliers have

been identified. The analytical data has been reviewed and either the results are below the method limit of

detection (mercury, selenium, cyanide and phenols) or the Null Hypothesis has been rejected (Alternative

Hypothesis has been accepted) for all of the contaminants

Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

6.3.7 SSVs have been derived for 14 out of the 16 United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) list

of priority contaminants. The results of the analyses of a total of five samples are included within the

appendix together with the statistical assessment. As detailed on the appended CLEA excel spreadsheets,

no statistical outliers have been recorded within the assessment. The analytical data has been reviewed

and either the results are below the method limit of detection (acenapthene, anthrace, dibenzo (a)

anthracene, fluorine and napthalene) or the Null Hypothesis has been rejected (Alternative Hypothesis has

been accepted) for all of the contaminants.

Petroleum Hydrocarbons

6.3.8 SSVs are available for the fractionated analysis of petroleum hydrocarbons in accordance with those

outlined by the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Criteria Working Group (TPH CWG). The results of the

analyses of a total of four samples are included within the appendix together with the statistical

assessment. As detailed on the appended CLEA excel spreadsheets, no statistical outliers have been

recorded within the assessment. The analytical data has been reviewed and either the results are below

the method limit of detection or the Null Hypothesis has been rejected (Alternative Hypothesis has been

accepted) for all of the contaminants.

Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenze and Xylene (BTEX)

6.3.9 There are SGVs available for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene. The results of the analyses of a

total of four samples are included within the appendix together with the statistical assessment. As detailed

on the appended CLEA excel spreadsheets, no statistical outliers have been recorded within the

assessment. The analytical data has been reviewed and all results are below the method limit of detection.

of 17

Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE)

6.3.10 The results of the analyses of a total of four samples are included within the appendix together with the

statistical assessment. As detailed on the appended CLEA excel spreadsheets, no statistical outliers have

been recorded within the assessment. The analytical data has been reviewed and all results are below the

method limit of detection.

6.4 Recommendations for Remediation

Human Health

6.4.1 No elevated contaminant concentrations have been recorded during the testing undertaken to date and

therefore no special precautionary measures are considered necessary with regards to the protection of

Human Health.

6.4.2 As will be required in accordance with a Health and Safety Plan which should be prepared for the project,

personnel involved in site development works should observe a high standard of personal hygiene. For

example, gloves, boots and overalls should be worn and washing facilities should be provided.

Controlled Waters

6.4.3 It is the remit of the Environment Agency to protect Controlled Waters which includes groundwater and

surface waters. The Environment Agency are also statutory consultees in the planning process. Saturated

strata were recorded in TPs 2 and 5 from as shallow as 1.00m and in view of the past site history (site

within agricultural land), and environmental setting (underlying Mercia Mudstone Formation being a

‘Secondary (B) Aquifer’, superficial deposits being a ‘Secondary (A) Aquifer’ and site not within a Source

Protection Zone) the sensitivity of the site is believed to be ‘low’. Given the findings of this investigation, it

is thought unlikely that the Environment Agency will require further sampling and testing to determine the

extent of the risk that the site poses to Controlled Waters (groundwater and nearby surface water courses).

6.5 Disposal of Excavated Materials

6.5.1 If excavated materials are to be removed for disposal off site, in accordance with the EU Landfill Directive

(England and Wales) Regulations 2002 there are three main categories; Inert, Non Hazardous and

Hazardous Waste. Each category is defined by individual parameters which govern the types of waste

accepted for classification. However it should be noted that individual landfill sites will have the final

decision regarding the acceptance of the waste for disposal.

6.5.2 Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) testing has been carried out on two soil samples, the result of which are

appended, listed together with the contamination analysis.

of 17

6.5.3 It should be appreciated that the above comments have not been made in consultation with either the

Local Authority or the Environment Agency. Each of these bodies may have additional comments to make

in view of the test results and the methods of investigation and their opinions should be sought in this

matter.

The Null Hypothesis = H0 µ≥Cc (or the true mean is greater than or equal to the critical value)

The Alternative Hypothesis = H1 µ<Cc (or the true mean is less than the critical value)

• Firstly the Grubbs Outlier test is used to determine the presence of any anomalously high values in the data. These may either be “hot spots” of contamination or possibly erroneous results.

If the Null Hypothesis is rejected then there is an at least 95% confidence level that the true mean concentration of the site is less than the critical concentration and no further action is required. If the Null Hypothesis is accepted then the true mean concentration is deemed to be greater than the critical concentration and the land is unsuitable for its proposed end use or requires remediation to render it suitable.

• Accounting for any outliers using the above method the data is tested to determine whether it falls within a normal distribution using the Shapiro-Wilks normality test.

• If the data does not deviate from normality then the 95% confidence limit is calculated using the one-sample t-test. Otherwise the 95% Upper confidence limit is calculated using the one-sided Chebychev Theorem.

• The Upper 95% confidence limit is then compared to the Cc

The critical concentrations (Cc) used in this assessment are the Soil Screening Values (SSV) from the ATRISKSOIL website www.atrisksoil.co.uk. These are generated by Atkins Consultants.

Notes on the Statistical Calculations for Use With the CLEA Model

The preceding tables are from a spreadsheet which takes the analytical data from chemical analyses of soils and compares them with a critical concentration (Cc) using a number of statistical methods. The spreadsheet has been written using the methodology described in “Guidance on Comparing Soil Contamination Data with a Critical Concentration” – May 2008 (The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and CL:AIRE with support from The Soil and Groundwater Technology Association)

The aim of the assessment is to prove, or otherwise, that the land under investigation is fit for purpose in that the level of contamination is low compared to an appropriate measure of risk. In statistical terms this question is handled using formal hypotheses. These are:-

If the Null Hypothesis is proven incorrect then the land is deemed fit for purpose and the Alternative Hypotheis is true. If the Null Hypothesis is proven correct then the land is deemed unfit for purpose or remediation is necessary to render it fit for purpose.

and

Following verification of the data a process of statistical methods is used.

Customer Sample Ref. Depth (m)Lab Sample No(s)

These descriptions are only intended to act as a cross check if sample identities are questioned, and to provide a log of

sample matrices with respect to MCERTS validation. They are not intended as full geological descriptions.

We are accredited to MCERTS for sand, clay and loam/topsoil, or any of these materials - whether these are derived from

naturally ocurring soil profiles, or from fill/made ground, as long as these materials constitute the major part of the sample.

Other coarse granular materials such as concrete, gravel and brick are not accredited if they comprise the major part of the

sample.

Superseded Report:

Appendix

1. Results are expressed on a dry weight basis (dried at 35ºC) for all soil analyses except

for the following: NRA and CEN Leach tests, flash point LOI, pH, ammonium as NH 4 by the

BRE method, VOC TICS and SVOC TICS.

2. Samples will be run in duplicate upon request, but an additional charge may be incurred.

3. If sufficient sample is received a sub sample will be retained free of charge for 30 days

after analysis is completed (e-mailed) for all sample types unless the sample is destroyed

on testing. The prepared soil sub sample that is analysed for asbestos will be retained for a

period of 6 months after the analysis date. All bulk samples will be retained for a period of 6

months after the analysis date. All samples received and not scheduled will be disposed of

one month after the date of receipt unless we are instructed to the contrary. Once the initial

period has expired, a storage charge will be applied for each month or part thereof until the

client cancels the request for sample storage. ALcontrol Laboratories reserve the right to

charge for samples received and stored but not analysed.

4. With respect to turnaround, we will always endeavour to meet client requirements

wherever possible, but turnaround times cannot be absolutely guaranteed due to so many

variables beyond our control.

5. We take responsibility for any test performed by sub -contractors (marked with an

asterisk). We endeavour to use UKAS/MCERTS Accredited Laboratories, who either

complete a quality questionnaire or are audited by ourselves. For some determinands there

are no UKAS/MCERTS Accredited Laboratories, in this instance a laboratory with a known

track record will be utilised.

6. When requested, the individual sub sample scheduled will be analysed in house for the

presence of asbestos fibres and asbestos containing material by our documented in house

method TM048 based on HSG 248 (2005), which is accredited to ISO17025. If a specific

asbestos fibre type is not found this will be reported as “Not detected”. If no asbestos fibre

types are found all will be reported as “Not detected” and the sub sample analysed deemed

to be clear of asbestos. If an asbestos fibre type is found it will be reported as detected (for

each fibre type found). Testing can be carried out on asbestos positive samples, but, due

to Health and Safety considerations, may be replaced by alternative tests or reported as No

Determination Possible. The quantity of asbestos present is not determined unless

specifically requested.

7. If no separate volatile sample is supplied by the client, or if a headspace or sediment is

present in the volatile sample, the integrity of the data may be compromised. This will be

flagged up as an invalid VOC on the test schedule and the result marked as deviating on

the test certificate.

8. If appropriate preserved bottles are not received preservation will take place on receipt .

However, the integrity of the data may be compromised.

9. NDP -No determination possible due to insufficient/unsuitable sample.

10. Metals in water are performed on a filtered sample, and therefore represent dissolved

metals -total metals must be requested separately.

11. Results relate only to the items tested.

12. LODs for wet tests reported on a dry weight basis are not corrected for moisture

content.

13. Surrogate recoveries - Surrogates are added to your sample to monitor recovery of

the test requested. A % recovery is reported, results are not corrected for the recovery

measured. Typical recoveries for organics tests are 70-130%, they are generally wider for

volatiles analysis, 50-150%. Recoveries in soils are affected by organic rich or clay rich

matrices. Waters can be affected by remediation fluids or high amounts of sediment. Test

results are only ever reported if all of the associated quality checks pass; it is assumed

that all recoveries outside of the values above are due to matrix affect.

14. Product analyses -Organic analyses on products can only be semi -quantitative due to

the matrix effects and high dilution factors

employed.

15. Phenols monohydric by HPLC include phenol, cresols (2-Methylphenol, 3-Methylphenol

and 4-Methylphenol) and Xylenols (2,3 Dimethylphenol, 2,4 Dimethylphenol, 2,5

Dimethylphenol, 2,6 Dimethylphenol, 3,4 Dimethyphenol, 3,5 Dimethylphenol).

16. Total of 5 speciated phenols by HPLC includes Phenol, 2,3,5-Trimethyl Phenol,

2-Isopropylphenol, Cresols and Xylenols (as detailed in 15).

17. Stones/debris are not routinely removed. We always endeavour to take a

representative sub sample from the received sample.

18. In certain circumstances the method detection limit may be elevated due to the sample

being outside the calibration range. Other factors that may contribute to this include

possible interferences. In both cases the sample would be diluted which would cause the

method detection limit to be raised.

Identification of Asbestos in Bulk Materials & Soils

The results for identification of asbestos in bulk materials are obtained from supplied bulk

materials which have been examined to determine the presence of asbestos fibres using

Alcontrol Laboratories (Hawarden) in-house method of transmitted/polarised light

microscopy and central stop dispersion staining, based on HSG 248 (2005).

The results for identification of asbestos in soils are obtained from a homogenised sub

sample which has been examined to determine the presence of asbestos fibres using

Alcontrol Laboratories (Hawarden) in-house method of transmitted/polarised light

microscopy and central stop dispersion staining, based on HSG 248 (2005).

Visual Estimation Of Fibre Content

Estimation of fibre content is not permitted as part of our UKAS accredited test other than :

- Trace - Where only one or two asbestos fibres were identified.

Further guidance on typical asbestos fibre content of manufactured products can be

found in HSG 264.

The identification of asbestos containing materials and soils falls within our

schedule of tests for which we hold UKAS accreditation, however opinions,

interpretations and all other information contained in the report are outside the

scope of UKAS accreditation.

Asbestos

General19. Mercury results quoted on soils will not include volatile mercury as the analysis is

performed on a dried and crushed sample.

20. For the BSEN 12457-3 two batch process to allow the cumulative release to be

calculated, the volume of the leachate produced is measured and filtered for all tests. We

therefore cannot carry out any unfiltered analysis. The tests affected include volatiles

GCFID/GCMS and all subcontracted analysis.

21. For all leachate preparations (NRA, DIN, TCLP, BSEN 12457-1, 2, 3) volatile loss may

occur, as we do not employ zero headspace extraction.

22. We are accredited to MCERTS for sand, clay and loam/topsoil, or any of these

materials - whether these are derived from naturally occurring soil profiles, or from fill /made

ground, as long as these materials constitute the major part of the sample. Other coarse

granular material such as concrete, gravel and brick are not accredited if they comprise the

major part of the sample.

23. Analysis and identification of specific compounds using GCFID is by retention time

only, and we routinely calibrate and quantify for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzenes and

xylenes (BTEX). For total volatiles in the C5 -C12 range, the total area of the

chromatogram is integrated and expressed as ug /kg or ug/l. Although this analysis is

commonly used for the quantification of gasoline range organics (GRO), the system will

also detect other compounds such as chlorinated solvents, and this may lead to a falsely

high result with respect to hydrocarbons only. It is not possible to specifically identify these

non-hydrocarbons, as standards are not routinely run for any other compounds, and for

more definitive identification, volatiles by GCMS should be utilised.

3. Current Land UsesProvides information on current land uses that may pose a risk to the study site in terms of potential contamina-tion from activities or processes. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 500m. This includes informa-tion on potentially contaminative industrial sites, petrol stations and fuel sites as well as high pressure under -ground oil and gas pipelines.

4. GeologyProvides information on artificial and superficial deposits and bedrock beneath the study site.

5. Hydrogeology and HydrologyProvides information on productive strata within the bedrock and superficial geological layers, abstraction li -censes, Source Protection Zones (SPZs) and river quality. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 2000m.

6. FloodingProvides information on surface water flooding, flood defences, flood storage areas and groundwater flood areas. This search is conducted using radii of up to 250m.

7. Designated Environmentally Sensitive Sites Provides information on the Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), National Nature Reserves (NNR), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA), Ramsar sites, Local Nature Reserves (LNR), Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), National Parks (NP), Environmentally Sensitive Areas, Nitrate Sensitive Areas, Nitrate Vulnerable Zones and World Heritage Sites and Scheduled Ancient Woodland. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 2000m.

8. Natural HazardsProvides information on a range of natural hazards that may pose a risk to the study site. These factors include natural ground subsidence.

9. MiningProvides information on areas of coal and shallow mining.

10. ContactsThis section of the report provides contact points for statutory bodies and data providers that may be able to provide further information on issues raised within this report. Alternatively, Groundsure provide a free Technic-al Helpline (08444 159000) for further information and guidance.

Note: MapsOnly certain features are placed on the maps within the report. All features represented on maps found within this search are given an identification number. This number identifies the feature on the mapping and correlates it to the additional information provided below. This identification number precedes all other information and takes the following format -Id: 1, Id: 2, etc. Where numerous features on the same map are in such close proxim -ity that the numbers would obscure each other a letter identifier is used instead to represent the features. (e.g. Three features which overlap may be given the identifier “A” on the map and would be identified separately as features 1A, 3A, 10A on the data tables provided). Where a feature is reported in the data tables to a distance greater than the map area, it is noted in the data table as “Not Shown”. All distances given in this report are in Metres (m). Directions are given as compass headings such as N: North, E: East, NE: North East from the nearest point of the study site boundary.

Are there any Source Protection Zones within 500m of the study site? No


5.7 Source Protection Zones within Confined Aquifer

Are there any Source Protection Zones within the Confined Aquifer within 500m of the study site?

No

Historically, Source Protection Zone maps have been focused on regulation of activities which occur at or near the ground surface, such as prevention of point source pollution and bacterial contamination of water supplies. Sources in confined aquifers were often considered to be protected from these surface pressures due to the presence of a low permeability confining layer (e.g. glacial till, clay). The increased interest in subsurface activities such as onshore oil and gas exploration, ground source heating and cooling requires protection zones for confined sources to be marked on SPZ maps where this has not already been done.

6.6 Groundwater Flooding Susceptibility Areas

6.6.1 Are there any British Geological Survey groundwater flooding susceptibility areas within 50m of the boundary of the study site?

Yes

Does this relate to Clearwater Flooding or Superficial Deposits Flooding? Superficial Deposits Flooding

Notes: Groundwater flooding may either be associated with shallow unconsolidated sedimentary aquifers which overlie unproductive aquifers (Superficial Deposits Flooding), or with unconfined aquifers (Clearwater Flooding).

6.6.2 What is the highest susceptibility to groundwater flooding in the search area based on the underlying geological conditions?

Limited potential

Where limited potential for groundwater flooding to occur is indicated, this means that although given the geological conditions there may be a groundwater flooding hazard, unless other relevant information, e.g. records of previous flooding, suggests groundwater flooding has occurred before in this area, you need take no further action in relation to groundwater flooding hazard.

6.7 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas

What is the British Geological Survey confidence rating in this result? High

Notes: Groundwater flooding is defined as the emergence of groundwater at the ground surface or the rising of groundwater into man-made ground under conditions where the normal range of groundwater levels is exceeded.

The confidence rating is on a threefold scale - Low, Moderate and High. This provides a relative indication of the BGS confidence in the accuracy of the susceptibility result for groundwater flooding. This is based on the amount and precision of the information used in the assessment. In areas with a relatively lower level of confidence the susceptibility result should be treated with more caution. In other areas with higher levels of confidence the susceptibility result can be used with more confidence.

1. Residential Radon Potential Result

1.1 Is the property in a Radon Affected Area?

The information in this section provides an answer to one of the standard legal enquiries onhouse purchase in England and Wales, known as CON29 standard Enquiry of Local Authority;3.13 Radon Gas: Location of the Property in a Radon Affected Area.

Question: Is the property in a Radon Affected Area as defined by Public Health England(PHE)and if so what percentage of homes are above the Action Level?

Answer: The property is not in a Radon Affected Area, as less than 1% of properties are abovethe Action Level.

1.2 Are Radon Protective Measures required?

The information in this section will detail the level of protection required for new dwellingsunder as described in the latest Building Research Establishment guidance on radon protectivemeasures for new dwellings. This may include extensions to the property.

Question: Is the property in an area where Radon Protection Measures are required for newproperties or extensions to existing ones as described in either publications BR211 (Englandand Wales) or BR376 (Scotland) by the Building Research Establishment?

Answer: No Radon Protective Measures are necessary.

1.3 Combined Radon Guidance

Radon is a colourless, odourless radioactive gas which is present in all areas of the UnitedKingdom, usually at levels that pose a negligible risk to homebuyers. However, in some areaslevels of radon are much higher than in others, and in these cases it can pose a health risk.The data supplied by the Public Health England (PHE) and the British Geological Survey (BGS)is not able to determine exact Radon levels, as this information can only be obtained throughsite-specific, in-situ testing. As less than 1% of properties in the area may be radon affected,the PHE do not consider that further action is necessary.

The responses given on the level of Radon Protective Measures required are based on a jointradon potential dataset from the Public Health England (PHE) and the British Geological Survey(BGS). No Radon Protective Measures are required for new builds or extensions.

1.4 Further details on Radon

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, which enters buildings from the ground.Outdoors, it is diluted to very low levels. However, in some cases the radon level indoors canbuild up to high concentrations. In such cases, it does pose a serious risk to health. Exposureto high concentrations increases the risk of lung cancer. Public Health England recommendsthat radon levels should be reduced in homes where the annual average is at or above 200becquerels per cubic metre (200 Bq m-3). This is termed the Action Level. Public HealthEngland defines Radon Affected Areas as those with 1% chance or more of a house having aradon concentration at or above the Action Level of 200 Bq m-3.

The joint PHE-BGS digital Radon Potential Dataset used in this report provides the currentdefinitive map of Radon Affected Areas in England and Wales.

Indoor radon levels can usually be substantially reduced at a cost comparable to many homeimprovements, such as replacing carpets. Details of methods of reducing radon levels are givenon the Building Research Establishment Website. http://www.bre.co.uk/radon/index.html

General Notes

1. The copyright of this report and other plans and documents prepared by Ground Investigation and Piling Limited are owned by them. No such report plan or document may be produced, published or adapted without the written consent of Ground Investigation and Piling Limited. Copies of this report may however, be made and distributed by the Client as an expedient in dealing with matters related to its commission. 2. This report is provided for sole use by the client and is confidential to the Client and the Clients professional advisors. No responsibility whatsoever for the contents of the report will be accepted to any other person other than the client. 3. The report and/or opinion will be prepared for the specific purpose stated in the document and in relation to the nature and extent of proposals made available to us at the time of your enquiry. The recommendations should not be used for other schemes on or adjacent to the site without further reference to Ground Investigation and Piling Limited. The assessment of the factual data will be provided to assist the client and his Engineer and/or advisors in the preparation of their designs. 4. The report will be based on the ground conditions encountered in the exploratory holes together with results of field and laboratory testing in the context of the proposed development. Conditions between exploratory holes have been interpolated, however soils and rock conditions are highly variable and may differ from our interpolation There may be conditions, appertaining to the site, which may not be revealed by the investigation, and which may not be taken into account in the report. 5. Methods of construction and/or design other than those proposed by the designers or referred to in the report may require consideration during the evolution of the proposals and further assessment of the geotechnical data would be required to provide discussion and recommendation appropriate to these methods. 6. The accuracy of the results reported will depend upon the technique of measurement, investigation and test used and these values should not be regarded necessarily as characteristic of the strata as a whole. Where such measurements are critical, the technique of the investigation will need to be reviewed and supplementary investigation undertaken in accordance with the advice of the company where necessary. 7. Whilst the report may express an opinion on possible configurations of strata between or beyond exploratory holes, or on possible presence of a feature based on either visual, verbal, written, cartographical, photographic or published evidence, this will be for guidance only and no liability can be accepted for its accuracy. 8. Ground conditions should be monitored during the construction of the works and the recommendations of the report re-evaluated on the light of these data by the supervising geotechnical engineers. 9. Any comments on groundwater conditions will be based on observations made at the time of the investigation, unless specifically stated otherwise. It should be noted, however, that the observations are subject to the method and speed of the boring, drilling or excavation and that groundwater levels will vary due to seasonal or other effects. 10. Unless specifically stated, the investigation will not take into account possible effects of mineral extraction. 11. The economic viability of the proposals referred to in the report, or of the solutions put forward to any problems encountered, will depend on very many factors in addition to geotechnical considerations hence its evaluation will be outside the scope of the report
