INTERPRETATIVE REPORT ON GROUND INVESTIGATION

Contract No.25085 12 June 2019

1. INTRODUCTION

It is proposed build a single residential property at 5B Hope Terrace in Edinburgh.

On the instructions of Create Engineering LLP, Consulting Engineers to Mrs

Deborah Marshall, and to their specification, an investigation was made to provide

information on the ground conditions for foundation design and construction and in

relation to any geochemical contamination of the site. These purposes were the

significant factors in determining the scope of the investigation. No responsibility

can be taken for specific design proposals not detailed or advised at the time of

compilation of this report.

The comments given in this report and any opinions expressed therein are based

on the ground conditions encountered during the site work, on the results of any in-

situ or laboratory testing and any professional third party input. Whilst every effort

has been made to ensure the accuracy of the data supplied and any analysis or

interpretation derived from it, the possibility exists of variations in the ground,

ground-water and ground gas conditions around, below and between the extent of

the exploratory positions. No liability can be accepted for any such variations in

these conditions. Furthermore, any recommendations are specific to the

development as detailed in this Report and no liability will be accepted should they

be used for the design of alternative schemes, by third parties, without prior

consultation with Raeburn Drilling & Geotechnical Limited.

Page 6: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 2 of 24

The recommendations of this report are based on an interpretation of legislation,

Codes of Practice, guidance notes and current research opinion. Revision of such,

particularly in environmental matters, is developing rapidly. Although this report

endeavours to anticipate any such changes that may arise within the foreseeable

future, changes are liable to occur which may cause the report inadequately to

address the position at that time. Further, the situation may be subject to varied

interpretation by statutory authorities and others, for which Raeburn Drilling &

Geotechnical Limited /Terra Tek Limited cannot be responsible.

2. LOCATION OF SITE

The site lies in a residential area, on the northern side of Hope Terrace

(approximate National Grid reference NT252718). The existing house is located to

the north and the site comprises the remaining grounds facing Hope Terrace. More

residential properties are present to the east and west.

A plan showing the approximate location of the site is given in Figure A1 in

Appendix A.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF SITE

3.1 General

A desk study of the former land use of the site was outside the scope of this report.

3.2 Description of Site

As mentioned above, the site comprises the grounds of the existing No. 5 Hope

Terrace and lies between Hope Terrace on the south and the house on the north.

The ground surface rises gently to the north. Many mature trees are present.

Page 7: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 3 of 24

3.3 Geology of Site

The 1:10560 scale geological map for the area (Ref. 1) indicates the site to be

underlain with cohesive glacial till (i.e. boulder clay), overlying sedimentary bedrock

belonging to the Upper Old Red Sandstone. The map shows rock outcrops in the

area, so that the drift may be thin.

4. GROUND INVESTIGATION

4.1 Site Work

The site work was carried out on the 14th and 15th January 2019, in accordance with

the guidelines laid down in EN1997-2:2007 (Ref. 2), BS5930 (Ref. 3), BS10175

(Ref. 4) and in-house procedures. The results of the site work are given in

Appendix B.

Three boreholes (Nos. BH01 to BH03) were scheduled to be sunk by continuous

percussion boring. However, a rock obstruction was encountered at a depth of

1.40m at position BH01 and two further attempts (denoted BH01A and BH01B)

were made to advance this borehole. Both found similar obstructions. In addition,

three trial pits (Nos. TP01 to TP03) were excavated by hand. The borehole and

trial pit positions shown on the site plan (Fig. A2 in Appendix A). The depths of the

boreholes and trial pits, the descriptions of the strata encountered and comments

on the ground-water conditions are given in the borehole and trial pit records (Figs.

B1 to B8). The positions and depths of the boreholes and trial pits were determined

by the Consulting Engineers and were set out on site by Raeburn Drilling &

Geotechnical Limited, in conjunction with the Consulting Engineers.

Disturbed and 100mm diameter tube samples were taken at the depths shown on

the borehole and trial pit records, and were despatched to the depot at Hamilton for

examination, storage and testing. Each sample was uniquely identified and a

transmittal note system used throughout sample transfer. Geochemical soil

samples were taken directly into tubs or vials, filling the container completely such

that no voids were present. Geochemical samples were stored on site and

transported to the laboratory in coolboxes.

Page 8: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 4 of 24

Standard (split-barrel sampler) penetration tests (Ref. 5) were made to assess the

relative density or the hardness of the materials encountered. The values of

penetration resistance, given in the borehole records, are not corrected for energy

ratio, or in any other way. The references to relative density under the heading

"Description of Strata" in the borehole records are based on the field values of

penetration resistance uncorrected for the effects of overburden pressure. The

Hammer Energy Test Report is presented as Figure B9.

A nominal 50mm diameter perforated standpipe was installed in each of boreholes

BH01B, BH02 and BH03, details of which are given on the relevant records. Tests

were subsequently carried out to determine the methane, carbon dioxide, carbon

monoxide, hydrogen sulphide and oxygen contents of the gas in the standpipes. In

addition, water level readings were scheduled, but the instruments remained dry

over the monitoring period. The results of the monitoring are given in Figure B10.

4.2 Laboratory Testing

A test schedule was submitted to and approved by the Consulting Engineers. The

laboratory testing was carried out by Terra Tek Limited, another company within the

Raeburn Group. Terra Tek Limited holds UKAS Accreditation for the scheduled

tests.

The geotechnical laboratory testing was carried out in accordance with BS1377

(Ref. 6). The results are given in Appendix C and comprised the following:

Description of Test Figures

Moisture Content Tests C1

Liquid and Plastic Limit Tests C1 to C6

Particle Size Distribution Tests C7 to C10

One-dimensional Consolidation Test C11

Unconsolidated Undrained Triaxial Compression Test C12

Page 9: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 5 of 24

In addition, chemical contamination testing was carried out on four samples of

made ground/soil. The results are given in Appendix D and comprised the

following:

Description of Test Figures

Metals and Metalloids, Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Sulphate and pH

D1

Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) (USEPA 16) D2

TPHCWG and VPHCWG - Aliphatic/Aromatic Split D3 & D4

Asbestos Screen / Identification D5

NRA Leachate – Metals, Ammonia and pH D6

NRA Leachate - Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (USEPA 16) D7

NRA Leachate - TPHCWG Aliphatic/Aromatic Split D8

Finally, the pH values of an additional two soil samples were determined and the

results are given in Figure D9.

5. GROUND CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED

Beneath 0.30m to 0.50m of topsoil or made ground, the boreholes and trial pits

encountered glacial very sandy, clayey or very clayey, gravel or more occasionally

very gravelly very clayey sand. The trial pits were completed in the granular soil at

depths of 0.75m or 1.00m. Boreholes BH01, BH01A, BH01B, BH02 and BH03

encountered rock obstructions at depths ranging from 1.40m to 2.75m.

Made ground was found in only trial pit TP03, in which the material comprised

clayey sand and gravel.

Page 10: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 6 of 24

It is worth noting that the granular glacial soil was visually assessed as being fine

grained (i.e. gravelly sandy clay), but the test results subsequently have shown the

material to be granular, albeit generally very clayey. In this regard, it should be

recognised that with glacial soils of this type, comparatively small changes in the

clay, sand and gravel fractions can result in the material passing from cohesive to

granular, and vice-versa, when described strictly in accordance with BS5930 (Ref.

3).

On this basis, the results of the penetration tests indicate that the granular soil is

medium dense, dense and possibly even very dense.

Rock obstructions were found in the base of all five boreholes, typically at depths of

1.40m, 1.90m and 2.75m at positions BH01, BH02 and BH03, respectively.

However, penetration of 0.10m or less were obtained, so it was difficult to be

certain whether the rock was bedrock, rather than cobbles or boulders in the drift.

However, the geological map suggests that bedrock in the area could lie at shallow

depth, so that the former is more likely, although by no means certain.

Ground-water was not encountered in the boreholes or trial pits. Furthermore, the

standpipes in boreholes BH01B, BH02 and BH03 remained dry over the monitoring

period, with the tips at depths of 1.45m, 2.00m and 2.75m, respectively.

6. COMMENTS ON THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION IN RELATION TO FOUNDATION DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

The foundation loadings should be taken below the layer of topsoil and made

ground. To allow for climatic conditions, pad or strip foundations in granular soils

should be placed at a minimum depth of 0.6m below final ground level. To make

good any disturbance caused during excavation, prepared formations in the natural

granular soils should be compacted prior to construction. Tamping with the back of

an excavator bucket should suffice in the case of the foundation excavations.

Page 11: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 7 of 24

As discussed in section 5, the grading analyses and index property tests have

shown the glacial soil to be granular, rather than fine grained as was visually

assessed. At its poorest, the granular soil was medium dense. There was one low

result from a triaxial compression test, but the consistency index on the clay matrix

was high, suggesting that the poor shear strength was due to sample disturbance.

Obviously, medium dense covers a range of strengths and it is therefore advised

that the prepared exposed formations are examined and any material with a shear

strength of less than 60kPa is removed and replaced with lean-mix concrete.

On this basis, pad and strip foundations constructed as discussed above, may be

designed to an allowable net bearing pressure of 120kPa. This value should

ensure the customary acceptable factor of safety of 3 against shear failure of the

ground and with its adoption the maximum total settlement associated with

foundations up to 1.2m wide should be less than 25mm.

Settlements in the granular soil will take place largely as the loadings are applied.

Differential movements will be dependent on variations in the foundation widths and

loading intensities and on the stiffness of the structure, as well as the ground

conditions.

Given the possible presence of bedrock at shallow depth, it would be advisable to

avoid stepped foundations at this site, whereby the glacial soil and comparatively

incompressible bedrock are present on either side. The layer of glacial soil should

be allowed to thin and thicken gradually, thereby minimising the worst possible

effects of differential movement. .

A lightly reinforced concrete ground bearing floor slab should be satisfactory,

provided the made ground and topsoil are removed and the slab is cast on a

blanket of well-compacted imported granular fill. The exposed formation in the

natural soil should be compacted.

Page 12: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 8 of 24

Support will be required to the walls of vertically sided foundation or service

excavations that extend below a depth of about 1.2m. Care should be taken to

ensure that adequate support is provided where vibratory compaction plant is used

in the base of an excavation or where excavations are made adjacent to existing

footings. However, excavations that are to be backfilled with lean-mix concrete,

and where man-access is not required, may stand unsupported for a sufficient

period to allow placement, provided the concrete is cast as soon as possible after

making the opening.

The evidence from the boreholes, trial pits and standpipes indicates that ground-

water should not be encountered in the foundation excavations. However, surface

water may still collect. To prevent the deterioration of prepared formations in the

presence of surface water, it would be advisable to place a blinding layer of

concrete or the foundation concrete itself, as soon as possible after excavating to

formation level.

7. GEOCHEMICAL CONSIDERATIONS

7.1 Methodology

For the purposes of assessing the geochemical condition of a site, it is generally

accepted that a risk-based approach should be adopted. A Conceptual Site Model

should be built up from the results of a desk study. The model should be tested by

assessing the risk that a hazard is connected to a potential receptor by a pathway.

The site comprises the grounds of the existing dwelling at 5 Hope Terrace, which

lies to the north. Hope terrace lies to the south, with more residential properties to

the east and west. A female child will be the most sensitive receptor.

Once pollutant linkage has been demonstrated, the risk to each receptor should be

assessed. A tiered approach is advocated in most instances, whereby generic

guidelines are compared against an appropriate data set. If concentrations in

excess of these generic guidelines are found, a further, more detailed, but less

conservative, site specific risk assessment should be carried out.

Page 13: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 9 of 24

The risk to human health from long-term exposure to soils can be determined using

various relevant models. In this instance, the Contaminated Land Exposure

Assessment (CLEA) model has been used. Prior to using this, and indeed any

model, it is necessary to determine whether it is appropriate to the given situation.

The model uses defined land use types, which fall into the following categories:

residential, allotments and commercial/industrial. Residential is the most stringent,

but will be appropriate to this site. For the assessment of human health, the

procedures set out in CLR 11 (Ref. 7) and the Updated Technical Background to

the CLEA Model (Ref. 8) have been followed.

Screening has been carried out against Suitable For Use Levels (S4ULs) published

by the Land Quality Management (LQM) Group (Ref. 9). The most up to date

S4ULs have been used for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, selenium, copper,

mercury, nickel, zinc, petroleum hydrocarbons and polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

The exception to this is lead, for which a Site Specific Assessment Criteria (SSAC)

has been calculated using the CLEA Software Version 1.071 published by the

Environment Agency (Ref. 10).

The updated technical background to the CLEA model assumes that the data set is

representative of an “averaging area”. The CLEA model indicates that the top

1.00m of soil is critical for all pathways to humans, except for inhalation of volatile

contaminants. In this connection, the laboratory testing has been focussed on the

top 1.00m of soil. The entire site has generally been taken as the “averaging area”

as the site is comparatively small and the material was found to be consistent

across the whole site.

Sulphate and acid attack on buried concrete should be evaluated with reference to

BRE Special Digest 1 (Ref. 11).

The generation of methane, hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide and carbon

dioxide gases is often associated with made ground, mine workings, residual

petroleum hydrocarbons or organic deposits. The risk associated with ground gas

should be assessed in accordance with CIRIA Report C665 (Ref. 12). In addition,

EH40/05 (Ref. 13) sets exposure limits for construction workers in excavations.

Page 14: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 10 of 24

In assessing the risk to ground and surface waters, the procedures set out in the

SEPA Position Statement (Ref. 14) and supporting guidance (Ref. 15) have been

followed.

7.2 Sample Selection

A residential development is planned for the site. Residential has the most

stringent guidelines with respect to ground contamination and moreover, it has

been assumed that there could be gardens and that vegetables will be grown for

home consumption. As such, end users are at risk mainly through ingestion and

inhalation of indoor and outdoor soil and dust.

Given the known history of the site, there were no targeted sources of

contamination as it was anticipated that the ground conditions would be consistent

across the site. This has proven to be the case. A non-targeted sampling strategy

of boreholes and trial pits was adopted. Three standpipes were installed within the

boreholes to enable any ground gases to be monitored and ground-water to be

monitored and sampled. In the event, the standpipes remained dry and gound-

water samples were not recovered.

Following site works, samples were selected for testing to assess the risks posed to

humans (end users and construction workers) and the proposed structures. Given

the consistency of the material across the site, a sample was taken from a depth of

0.30m or 0.50m, at four positions across the site. The following testing regime was

adopted for each of these four samples:

Metals, pH, SO4, Speciated PAH, TPHCWG, VPHCWG.and BTEX

The four samples were screened for asbestos.

Page 15: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 11 of 24

7.3 End User Risk Analyses

Following the procedures outlined in section 7.1, the last stage of the assessment

of data would be carried out based on the principles outlined in the CIEH/CL:AIRE

publication: Guidance on Comparing Soil Contamination Data with a Critical

Concentration, May 2008 (Ref. 16). The ESI Statistics Calculator (Ref. 17) was

designed to carry out the calculations outlined in the above document and has been

used in the following risk assessments.

The above documents consider sites to be contaminated until proven otherwise. In

essence, the objective is to decide whether the available evidence supports a

particular hypothesis, in this case, the Null Hypothesis where µ ≥ Cc (i.e. is the true

mean concentration, µ, equal to or greater than the Critical Concentration, Cc?). An

assessment is then undertaken to establish whether, on the basis of the available

data, the strength of the evidence favours the Null Hypothesis, or was an

Alternative Hypothesis (in this case µ < Cc) more likely to be true.

The calculator allows values to be set for concentrations which fall below the limit of

detection (non-detects), the values of which can significantly alter the data. In this

case, a value of half the limit of detection has been assumed. An upper confidence

level (UCL) was calculated and a required evidence level set, in this case 95%

which is common in the planning scenario, and the data was assessed for outliers.

Outliers are only removed from the data set if they are obviously the result of an

error which can be identified and explained, or indicate that there is more than one

soil population.

Two different assessment methods have been applied, depending on whether the

data is normally distributed (the one-sample t test) or non-normally distributed

(Chebychev Theorem).

Heavy Metals and Metalloids

Four samples were analysed for a heavy metals and metalloid suite comprising

arsenic, cadmium, total and hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, copper,

nickel, zinc, beryllium, vanadium, and boron.

Page 16: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 12 of 24

The Land Quality Management S4ULs for a residential with home grown

vegetables land use have been used for the following assessment and an SSAC for

lead has been calculated as discussed in sub-section 7.1.

The S4ULs used to assess heavy metals were derived for a pH range between 6

and 8. Outside this range, the S4ULs will be more or less conservative. The pHs

at this site ranged from ,5.6 to 6.5, with an average of 6.1, so that the S4ULs are

appropriate, although only marginally so.

The results for heavy metals for the whole site are summarised in the table below:

Determinant Maximum

Lead 206 Normal 1 sample t test 191 191 95%

Mercury 0.59 Normal 1 sample t test 0.57 40 100%

Selenium 1.3 Normal 1 sample t test 1.5 250 100%

Copper 42 Non-normal Chebychev 61 2400 100%

Boron 1.9 Normal 1 sample t test 1.8 290 100%

Hexavalent Chromium

0.6 Normal 1 sample t test 0.56 6 100%

With the exception of beryllium, the calculated Upper Confidence Limits are at or

below the S4ULs and the evidence level is 95% or more. As such, the risk from

these determinants has been assessed as low. The reverse was true of beryllium,

however, and in this case the risk has been assessed as medium.

Petroleum Hydrocarbons

Petroleum hydrocarbons are a complex mixture of carbon/hydrogen based

molecules of varying chain length with both aromatic and aliphatic fractions. The

aliphatic fraction often predominates, but the aromatic fraction is usually more toxic.

It is possible, therefore, that whilst the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) content is

comparatively high, the higher concentrations are in heavier less harmful bands.

To characterise the petroleum hydrocarbons, tests (TPHCWG) to determine the

carbon banding and the aliphatic and aromatic split were carried out on the four

samples.

The UK Approach for Evaluating Human Health Risks from Petroleum

Hydrocarbons in soils, SR P5-080/TR3 (Ref. 18) indicates that if elevated

concentrations are detected, analyses for petroleum hydrocarbon fractions should

be carried out and assessed against appropriate screening values. The document

considers that, even if the individual fractions are below the screening values, there

is the potential for additively of toxicological effects between fractions, giving rise to

the possibility of significant harm, so a further assessment is required. Suitable For

Use Levels (S4ULs) have been published by Land Quality Management for a series

of carbon bands, as per TPHCWG. These values have been used as the initial Tier

1 assessment.

This second assessment involves the calculation of the Hazard Index (HI). If the HI

is less than 1, then no further action is required. The HI is calculated using the

following equation:

HI = ∑ HQ = ∑measured concentration, Fi /GAC

where

HI= Hazard Index

HQ = Hazard Quotient

Fi = Fraction of Individual Compound (mg/kg)

GAC = Generic Assessment Criteria for individual Compounds (mg/kg).

Page 18: MRS DEBORAH MARSHALL PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL …

P:\25085\Report\report.doc 14 of 24

The table below summarises the maximum concentrations found at the site,

together with the Upper Confidence Limits, compared with the S4ULs for a

residential with home grown produce land use and a soil organic matter (SOM)

content of 2.5%. In this connection, S4ULs are quoted for soil organic matter

contents of 1.0%, 2.5% and 6.0%. In the present case, SOM concentrations of

2.9% to 7.3% were measured with an average of 4.9%. A SOM of 2.5% has been

used in the analyses, as it is more protective than 6.0%.

The Upper Confidence Limits for all the carbon bands are significantly less than the

relevant assessment criteria. Given this, the Hazard Quotient has been calculated

for each determinant using the Upper Confidence Limit and is also given in the

table above. The Hazard Index has been calculated as 0.19 and the risk to human

end users from petroleum hydrocarbons is, therefore, considered to be low.

Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons

Analyses for polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was undertaken on the four

samples. PAHs are often associated with ash and incomplete combustion.

Naphthalene is the most mobile compound in the group and benzo(a)pyrene and

dibenzo(a,h)anthracene are the most toxic. Suitable For Use Levels (S4ULs) have

been published by Land Quality Management for all sixteen PAH congeners. The

table below summarises the range of results for these compounds compared with

the assessment criteria, again for a soil organic matter content of 2.5%.

BTEX

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene are often referred to collectively as

BTEX because they have closely related chemical structures and have similar fate

and transport properties. They are often used together in industrial and petroleum

products and commonly occur together in the environment as a result of related

pollution.

BTEX testing was undertaken on the four samples. In all cases, the measured

concentrations were below the limits of detection. As such, the risk from BTEX is

considered low.

Asbestos

The four samples were screened for asbestos. The results are given in Figure D5

in Appendix D. Asbestos not detected in any of these samples, nor was there any

visual evidence of the material in the boreholes or trial pits, nor on the ground

surface. As such, the risk due to asbestos is considered low.

7.4 Chemical Attack on Buried Concrete

The results of the chemical analyses on the four samples of made ground/soil

indicated soluble sulphate contents (as SO4 in 2:1 water/soil extracts) in the range

of less than 0.01g/l to 0.06g/l. The associated pH values were in the range 5.6 to

6.5. Tests on two other samples of natural soil produced pH values of 8.0 and 7.5.

BRE Special Digest 1: 2005 recommends precautionary measures with respect to

sulphate attack on concrete for a range of concentrations, for both ‘Greenfield’ and

‘Brownfield’ locations. The concentrations in the made ground and natural soil at

this site fall within the least onerous Class DS-1.

Consideration should also be given to the risk of acid attack on concrete. The

classification varies depending on whether the ground-water is static or mobile. In

the static conditions likely to apply at this site, the classification becomes AC-1s.

Provided the mixes are designed in accordance with the recommendations given in

Special Digest 1, the risk due to sulphate and acid attack on buried concrete is

considered low.

7.5 Ground Gas

The generation of methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulphide

gases is often associated with made ground, organic deposits, mine workings or

residual petroleum hydrocarbons. Light fractions within any residual petroleum

hydrocarbons could also give rise to volatile organic compounds.

Methane is a flammable gas. It is explosive in air at a concentration above 5% by

volume (the so-called Lower Explosive Limit). Carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant gas

that is heavier than air and can concentrate in open excavations or internal void

spaces. Carbon monoxide is both flammable and an asphyxiant. Hydrogen

sulphide can be associated with made ground, particularly material containing slag

and can be identified by humans by a ‘rotten egg’ smell.

With respect to the limiting concentrations, CIRIA Report C665 discusses the

concept of gas screening values (GSV), which are the product of gas

concentrations multiplied by gas volume flow. In essence, this approach considers

the likely gas flux, rather than simplistically looking at the maximum concentration,

which has had a tendency to lead to over design of gas protection measures. Once

determined, the GSV is used to determine which “Characteristic Situation” applies

and what, if any, gas protection measures are suitable to adequately protect a

development.

Gas monitoring in the standpipes has been carried out on six occasions and the

results are recorded in Figure B10 in Appendix B. Methane, carbon monoxide and

hydrogen sulphide were not detected. Carbon dioxide was found in all three

standpipes, with a maximum concentration of 1.1% in borehole BH03 on the first

visit. The introduction of oxygen into a borehole can result in an early spike in the

carbon dioxide readings, but this effect diminishes with time. Gas flows and

differential pressures were below the limits of detection. The first and second

monitoring visits were made at a time of low atmospheric pressure (i.e. <1000mb)

when gas generation is commonly at its worst.

Based on this set of data, the GSV has been calculated as 0.001l/hr for carbon

dioxide. This indicates Characteristic Situation 1 conditions, in which case gas

protection measures are not required.

7.6 Radon

To assess whether there is a potential risk to end users from exposure to radon,

reference has been made to BR211 (Ref. 19). The document suggests that in most

cases, it is impractical to assess the severity of a radon problem on a particular site

accurately, until the building has been constructed and occupied. However,

information and reference maps are available for 1km squares related to the

National Grid.

Reference to these maps indicates that the site lies within a grid where there is a

Lower Probability Radon Area (less than 1% of homes are estimated to be at or

above the Action Level). Radon protective measure are not considered necessary.

7.7 Construction Workers

None of the recorded chemical concentrations should present a problem to

construction workers who will be exposed only in the short term. This also applies

to asbestos.

However, across the site, good standards of hygiene should be applied to ensure

that ingestion and dermal contact are minimised. These should include gloves and

overalls to prevent direct contact, in addition to site washing facilities.

In addition, gas monitoring should be undertaken in all excavations and confined

spaces. In this connection, carbon dioxide concentrations of up to 1.1% were

recorded in the standpipes. Carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant gas and, with respect

to construction workers, EH40/2005 sets a 15 minute exposure limit of 1.5% by

volume and an eight hour exposure limit of 0.5%. Carbon dioxide is heavier than

air and can concentrate in open excavations. At worst, ventilation may be required.

On this basis and provided the comments above are addressed, the risk to

construction workers will be low.

7.8 Ground-Water

The standpipes in boreholes BH01B, BH02 and BH03 were scheduled for ground-

water sampling. However, the tubes were not long enough to intercept the ground-

water table. As such, leachate testing was carried out on three of the original four

soil/made ground samples. This included the sample from borehole BH01 at

0.30m, which contained the highest levels of chemical contamination. The samples

were tested for a leachate suite comprising arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead,

mercury, selenium, copper, nickel, zinc, beryllium, vanadium, ammoniacal nitrogen,

pH, petroleum hydrocarbons (aliphatic/aromatic split) and speciated polyaromatic

hydrocarbons (PAHs).

SEPA Position Statement WAT-PS-10-01 describes site specific assessment

criteria and the way in which SEPA will assign them to high risk ground-water

pollutant inputs in a consistent and logical way. The generally accepted procedure

for assessing risks from potentially polluting inputs is to use the concept of source-

pathway-receptor.

A passive input can be considered here, resulting from previous activity that has

now ceased due to the historical nature of the site. From the SEPA on-line Water

Environment Hub, it is clear that the ground-water below the site lies in the

Morningside aquifer. The quality of this aquifer is shown as good and water

abstraction could be a possibility. As such, the ground-water should be considered

a potential receptor. Therefore, resource protection values are the most

appropriate set of thresholds for risk assessment purposes.

The Position Statement from SEPA provided assessment criterial for pollutant

inputs into ground-water. If these are not available, other standards have been

referenced. As ground-water was not encountered, the leachate results have been

used to assess the potential for contamination to impact on the ground-water. The

findings are summarised in the table below:

With the exception of arsenic, the results were below the limits of detection or the

appropriate guideline value. To assess this risk further a risk assessment was

carried out.

This was carried out following the methods described by SEPA. The assessment

focused on the highest concentrations recorded in borehole 01. As the results are

for leachate, the assessment was carried out to consider how quickly the

contamination would attenuate as it moved through the soil column towards the

ground-water.

The hydraulic gradient was calculated assuming the pore-water would percolate

downwards, towards ground-water table. This was seen as a conservative

assumption. Having an assumed hydraulic gradient allowed a P20 (Ref. 20)

ground-water monitoring risk assessment to be carried out. The assessment is

included in the Site Specific Assessments in Appendix E.

In carrying out the P20 assessments, additional assumptions had to be made.

These are stated below;

• Pore-water would percolate down towards the ground-water,

• The width of the contamination plume is 10m, half the distance to the next

sample point,

• The aquifer thickness was taken as 0.40m, the thickness of the layer the elevated

concentrations came from,

• A bulk density of 2.00Mg/m3 was estimated from the site works,

• The porosity of 0.35n was taken for the correct soil type from Domenico, P.A and

Schwarts, F.W (1990).

• The hydraulic conductivity of 7x10-1 m/day was taken from Domenico, P.A and

Schwarts, F.W (1990).

The results indicated that if the maximum leachable potential was mobilised into

the pore-water, it would have naturally attenuated to below the RPV within 4.50m

of the source.

To summarise, it is unlikely that the arsenic will present a risk to water quality and it

is reasonable to conclude that the risk to the water environment is low.

As noted earlier, the risks generally have been assessed as low, with a medium risk

with respect to beryllium. In some cases the low classification is dependent on

precautions being implemented, as discussed in the previous sub-sections and

summarised below.

• The risk to construction workers has been generally assessed as low.

However, it will be necessary to ensure that good standards of site hygiene

are employed in order to ensure that ingestion and dermal contact are

minimised. Gas monitoring during entry into excavations and confined

spaces should be undertaken. Ventilation may be required. It is worth

noting that these are standard procedures.

• The risk to buried concrete due to sulphate and acid attack has been

assessed as low, provided the mixes are designed in accordance with the

requirements of Special Digest 1, as detailed in sub-section 7.4.

A medium risk was identified with respect to beryllium. Three of the four samples

had concentrations just below the Suitable for Use Level (S4UL), which resulted in

the Upper Confidence Level (UCL) being slightly above. Remediation will be

required. The simplest solution would be to break the link between the source and

the receptor by providing a barrier. This could be hard paving on the roads and

paths, or a blanket of clean inert soil in the areas of soft landscaping. It is

commonly accepted that to be effective, this barrier should be about 1.0m thick, but

in the present case the measured beryllium concentrations were all below the

Upper Confidence Limit (UCL). The advice of the appropriate Local Authority

should be sought with respect to reducing the thickness of this capping layer.

NOTES ON FIELD PROCEDURES

Sonic drilling is employed as an alternative boring method for soft ground and rock. The sonic rig operates much like anyconventional top-drive rotary rig. The main difference is that a sonic drill rig has a specially designed hydraulically powered drillhead or oscillator which produces adjustable high frequency vibratory forces. Sonic samples are extruded direct to plastic linerbags or semi-rigid plastic liners for rapid inspection. Bulk and small disturbed samples are then taken from the plastic liner bags.

Trial pits are excavated by hand or machine for a number of purposes such as avoiding services, exposing foundations orobtaining a better view of shallow ground conditions.

Tube samples of cohesive soils are generally taken with a 100mm internal diameter open drive sampler known as a U100, with anarea ratio of 30%. The sampler is driven into the soil at the bottom of the borehole by a sliding hammer. After a sample is taken,the drive head and cutting shoe are unscrewed from the sample tube and any wet or disturbed soil removed from either end. Thesample tube is then sealed with wax and fitted with plastic end caps.

A range of more specialised equipment, e.g. thin walled open drive sampler (UT100), piston or foil samplers, may be used to obtainhigher quality samples in conditions where conventional open drive sampling is impracticable or unsatisfactory. The UT100sampler is specifically utilised to obtain class 1 samples of cohesive soils as required under BS EN1997-2.

Disturbed samples are taken from the boring tools or trial pits at regular intervals. The samples are sealed in airtight containers.Bulk samples are large disturbed samples from the boring tools, or from trial pits, generally where tube samples are unavailable.

The Standard Penetration Test, SPT, in accordance with BS EN ISO 22476-3, determines the resistance of soil to the penetrationof a split barrel sampler. A 50mm diameter split barrel sampler is driven 450mm into the soil using a 63.5kg hammer with a 760mmdrop, and the penetration resistance, the "N" value, is expressed as the number of blows required to achieve 300mm penetrationbelow an initial penetration of 150mm, the seating drive, through any disturbed soil at the bottom of the borehole.

In coarse soils, the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is conducted in the same manner as the SPT but using a 50mm diameter 60degree apex solid cone point to replace the split barrel sampler.

Where more accurate or longer term measurement of emissions is required, gas monitoring standpipes are installed in boreholes.

Determination and measurement of gases in the ground, commonly in relation to landfills, may be made directly from the groundsurface, where a hole is formed by driving a solid and rigid steel spike to depths normally in the range 1.0 to 1.5m. Gas emissionsare analysed using an appropriate portable analyser. However, research has shown that the small sample hole size and smearingeffects can give a false negative result.

A more accurate record of groundwater behaviour may be obtained from standpipes or standpipe piezometers.

(a) The trial pit or borehole is rarely left standing at the relevant depth for sufficient time for the water level to reach equilibrium.(b) A permeable stratum may have been sealed off by the borehole casing.(c) It may have been necessary to add water to the borehole to facilitate progress.(d) There may be seasonal, tidal or other effects at the site.

Borehole water levels are recorded, together with the depths at which seepages or inflows of groundwater are detected and theobservations noted on the borehole or trial pit records. These observations may not give an accurate indication of groundwaterconditions, for the following reasons:

Generally, peat probing is carried out using a Mackintosh Probe. The probe is pushed through the peat until resistance is met thenthe depth at which this occurred is recorded.

Boring

The standard method of boring in soil for ground investigation is known as the cable tool method. It uses various tools worked on awire cable, typically a shell in non-cohesive soils such as sand and gravel, and a clay cutter in cohesive soils such as clay. Verydense soils, boulders or other hard obstructions are disturbed or broken up by chiselling and the fragments removed with the shell.Where the ground conditions require, the borehole is lined with driven steel casings of such sizes that the bottom of the borehole isnot less than 125mm diameter.

Where there are constraints upon access, alternative methods of soft ground boring are available. However, each has limitationsthat need to be taken into account when assessing their suitability and the ground conditions inferred from their results.

Rotary Drilling

Rotary drilling is employed to extend ground investigation beyond the practical limit of cable tool boring in hard formations,commonly rock. Core drilling is used to obtain continuous intact samples of the formation and is generally undertaken with doubletube swivel type core barrels fitted with tungsten or diamond bits as appropriate to formation type and hardness. Open-hole rotarydrilling using tricone rock roller bits or tungsten insert drag bits, or down-the-hole hammers, is carried out where more limitedinformation is sufficient, strata identification being made from cuttings only. Open-hole rotary drilling methods may also beemployed for fast penetration of soils where detailed sampling is not required, prior to coring at depth. Air or water is the flushingmedium normally used with rotary drilling methods. Where the ground conditions require, the borehole is lined with inserted ordrilled-in casing.

SAMPLE DESCRIPTIONS

Sheet 1 of 1

The laboratory removes any material > 2mm prior to analysis. The quantity and nature of the material is shown as the secondary and additional matrix types in the above table.

Where a parameter cannot be determined in house it is our policy to use a UKAS/MCERTS accredited laboratory wherever possible. Terra Tek will assume responsibility for the quality of subcontracted tests and the performance of the subcontractor chosen. Where there is no known UKAS/MCERTS laboratory for a particular parameter, a laboratory listed within the Terra Tek Approved Subcontractors List, which is subject to performance assessment, will be selected.

Terra Tek are accredited for clay, sand and loam matrix types only, where they constitute the major component of the sample. Other coarse granular materials such as gravel, are not accredited where they comprise the major component of the sample.

Results are expressed on a dry-weight basis (samples dried at 30oC ± 5oC) except where stated.

titrimetry.

1. Terra Tek (Birmingham) are MCERTS accredited for clay, sand & loam matrix types only, where they constitute the major component of the sample. Other coarse granular

materials, ie gravel, are not accredited where they comprise the major component of the sample.

2. Results are expressed on a dry-weight basis (samples dried at 30°C ± 5°C) except where stated.

3. The laboratory removes any material >2mm prior to analysis. The quantity and nature of any material removed from samples is recorded and the information is available on

request.

4. The laboratory records the date of analysis of each parameter. This information is available on request.

5. Where a parameter cannot be determined in house it is our policy to use a UKAS/MCERTS accredited laboratory wherever possible. Terra Tek will assume responsibility for

the quality of subcontracted tests and the performance of the subcontractor chosen. Where there is no known UKAS/MCERTS laboratory for a particular parameter, a laboratory

listed within the Terra Tek Approved Subcontractors list, which is subject to performance assessment, will be selected.
