Soil&Metrics

Hello Meghan,

Thank you again for having us come out and do your investigation,
Here is the report, and as I told you Monday out there, my interpretation is that those anomalies are just random fill material,
Please let me know if you need anything else,
Best regards,
Ed
Geophysicist

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Enviroprobe Service, Inc. (Enviroprobe) is an environmental investigation services firm which provides monitoring well installation (HSA), Geoprobe (DPT) drilling services and Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (EEG) services to the environmental consulting and engineering community.

i.e. Are there bodies in the dirt mound, or is is the dirt mound backfill from the exotic waterfowl pond experiment?

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

On January 30, 2023, a geophysicist from Enviroprobe Service Inc. was mobilized to the subject property to perform a geophysical investigation. The purpose of this investigation was to detect possible anomalies that could suggest the presence of coffins, human remains, or excavations through client-selected areas. These areas consisted of natural soil surfaces.

3.0 SURVEY RESULTS

The survey was conducted using a cart-mounted GPR unit and a Fisher TW-6 metallic locator. The TW-6 survey was conducted in a linear pattern of approximate 3 to 5 inches of separation between the lines and at least two perpendicular directions in a simple search mode. No metallic anomalies were found in the client's area of concern.

A GPR survey was also performed in a grid pattern in at least two orthogonal directions with approximate separation of 2 to 3 feet between lines. Based on the results of the GPR survey, two non-metallic anomalous areas were found by the survey. These areas have an approximated depth of 2 feet and are consistent with fill materials [See Figures 1 and 2].

Both anomalous areas were situated on the eastern and western sides of the tree stump and were similar in depth and size [See Figures 3 and 4].

4.0 LIMITATIONS

The client-selected area contained a gravestone and stakes that in this case represent an obstruction that prevented a thorough investigation of the spaces beneath and immediately adjacent to them.

Due to surface conditions and subsurface content, the GPR signal penetration was estimated at less than 5 ft in the majority of the survey area. This penetration was reduced in areas of concrete cover.

The TW-6 survey was kept up to 6 feet away from above ground objects containing metals depending on the sizes, shapes and positions of the metal objects. The TW-6 survey was not effective in areas with reinforced concrete.

Due to the dielectric properties of the subsurface, clay, plastic polymer, and fiberglass utilities may not have been detected.

All field services were conducted in compliance with the industry standard of care guidelines found in ASCE 38-02 (Level B).
