1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Objectives and Scope of Investigation
An area of land at Isebrook SEN College, Kettering (the site) is being considered for redevelopment by Northamptonshire County Council (the Client). The proposals for the site comprise the construction of a new two story building and associated external works for the College.
Applied Geology was appointed by the Client to undertake a desk study/Phase I Environmental Risk Assessment and combined geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigation in order to:
• assess the potential for hazardous substances or conditions to exist at the site that might warrant mitigation or remediation appropriate to the intended end use proposed by the Client. • establish geological conditions and geotechnical parameters to assist in the safe and economic engineering design of the proposed development. • Support a planning application.
The terms of reference/brief for the works were specified by JPP Consulting on behalf of Lend Lease Consulting (Client’s Engineer) and are outlined in our proposal and estimate reference AG16-5227let001 dated 9th March 2016.
The scope of works undertaken by Applied Geology comprised:
• A site inspection and walkover survey • A review of the following desk study sources:
GroundSure – GeoInsight & EnviroInsight environmental databases. GroundSure – MapInsight historical maps. British Geological Survey (BGS) - published information & on-line borehole database. Multi-Agency Geographical Information for the Countryside (MAGIC) on- line database. Environment Agency Web Site.
• Ground investigation together with sampling, monitoring and a programme of laboratory testing. • Assessment and reporting of the results of the works. Underground service plans for the site were obtained by Applied Geology on 17th March 2016 and a utility survey drawing (with topographic survey information) dated November 2015 created by Subsight Survey Ltd was provided by the Client.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSALS
2.1 Site Description
The site is located at Isebrook SEN College, Kettering, approximately 1.6km southeast of Kettering town centre. The national grid reference for the centre of the site is 488076 277412 as shown on the Site Location Plan in Appendix A.
The site was bound to the north by residential properties off Eastleigh Road, to the east by agricultural land and the River Ise, to the south by Barton Road and Wickstead Park beyond and to the west by St Edward’s Primary School.
The site is irregular in shape with dimensions of approximately 245m by 120m (2.2ha) and slopes from around 66.6m AOD in the west to 58.55m AOD in the east. This level change is accommodated over three platforms, the first and highest located to the west at the level of the adjacent college, the second is the area to the north at the level of the most recent school building, and the third is the location of the proposed development which has a slope down to the east, to the Rive Ise. The boundaries between these platforms are defined by grassed slopes with access ramps and stairs.
A site inspection/walkover was undertaken by Applied Geology on 7th April 2016. Access to the site was gained off Eastleigh Road, Kettering. At the time of the inspection, the site was a school comprising two brick buildings and three raised classroom cabins to the centre of the site with raised walkways. A car park was located to the north and playing fields were located to the south of the site. The site entrance was secured by an approximately 2m high metal fence.
There were a row of semi mature to mature deciduous trees located along the eastern perimeter of the site.
2.2 Site Proposals
The proposals for the site comprise the removal of three classroom blocks and the construction of a two storey building which includes a lift, a covered walkway to the existing school building to the west, outside paving and a multi-use games area (MUGA) to the east. The proposals are shown on Drawing No’s 91428 P1 Rev C by B3 Architects, dated 3rd July 2015, a copy of which is presented in Appendix A.

4.0 CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL
4.1 Diagrammatical Illustration
The Conceptual Model for the site, showing the main elements of the surface and subsurface conditions and including the potential contaminant sources, pathways and receptors identified from the desk study information is presented in Appendix A as Drawing No AG2437-16-02. The potential sources, pathways and receptors are defined in the following sections:
4.2 Sources
• Made Ground Soils on site associated with existing site development • On site ground gases associated with decomposition of organic material in Made Ground • Sulphates in Made Ground or underlying natural strata • Radon from adjacent Northampton Sand Formation and/or re-worked Northampton Sand Formation Made Ground beneath the site.
PCBs from electrical substations are not considered a source due to the distance from site, the low mobility of PCBs and the credible banning of PCBs in new equipment from 1981.
4.3 Pathways
• Human dermal contact; • Human ingestion via soil directly; • Human inhalation of dust or vapours; • Leaching and/or migration through permeable soils (granular Made Ground); • Direct contact with buried concrete.
4.4 Receptors
• End user pupils, teachers, visitors (Human Health); • Neighbours (Human Health); • River Ise 34m to northeast of site (Controlled Waters); • Buried foundation/substructure concrete (Building Materials).

4.5 Source/Pathway/Receptor Linkage and Assessed Risk
Source-pathway-receptor (SPR) linkages are tabulated below together with the qualitatively assessed risk. The risk to ground workers and construction workers is not included here due to the short-term exposure times that they will be subject to and the assumption that good hygiene practices will be adopted on site and the appropriate use of relevant PPE/RPE will be adhered to when exposed to potentially contaminated soils. Comments regarding contamination issues with respect to ground workers and construction workers are included in the health and safety section of the Standard Procedures included as Appendix F.
Source Pathway Receptor Risk*
Potential contaminants Inhalation, ingestion, End users, visitors, Low within Made Ground or dermal contact. neighbours resulting from historical site usage Migration and Leaching Principal Aquifer/ Low - medium Distant potable drinking water well Soil gas from Made Migration into buildings, End users, adjacent Low Ground – both on site and service ducts etc. residents off site sources

Low Risk: Contaminants may be present but are unlikely to be at levels to have unacceptable impact on key receptors, or pathways are likely to be minimal. Medium Risk: Contaminants are probably present and might have an unacceptable impact on key receptors. Pathways may also be present therefore remedial measures may be necessary to reduce the risks. High Risk – Contaminants probably or certainly present and pathways are probably also present. Therefore, contaminants are likely to have an unacceptable impact on key receptors and remedial measures are likely to be necessary to reduce the risks to acceptable levels.
5.0 GROUND INVESTIGATION WORKS
5.1 Fieldwork
The following scope of fieldwork was undertaken:
• 6 No Driven Continuous Sampling boreholes (ref DCS1 to DCS6) to depths of 3.45m below ground level (bgl); • 4 No TRL DCPs; • 1 No variable head test within DCS3.
The borehole and trial pit records are included in Appendix C with the in situ test results included in Appendix D.
AG2437-16-Y63 APPLiED GEOLOGY
Page 6 Isebrook SEN College, Kettering
The locations of the exploratory holes were selected and set out on site by Applied Geology Limited. The sampling strategy for the exploratory hole locations was to provide best overall coverage.
The positions of the exploratory holes were defined by taping from identifiable features on the utility survey (Drawing No: 48592) drawing by Subsight Survey Ltd. The locations are presented on Drawing No. AG2437-16-01 in Appendix A.
5.2 Instrumentation and Monitoring
At the request of the Client no monitoring wells were installed.
One falling head test was undertaken in the open borehole of DCS3 generally in accordance with the guidance in BS5930:1999.
5.3 Laboratory Testing
Geotechnical laboratory testing was undertaken on selected samples and comprised the following:
• 5 No natural moisture content tests; • 5 No Atterberg limit tests; • 1 No particle size distribution test; • 5 No BRE SD1 (pyrite) suite tests.
As no obvious sources of contamination were identified, a general suite of chemical testing for commonly occurring contaminants was tested for. Five samples were analysed for the following suite of contaminants:
• Selected metals suite [arsenic, cadmium, chromium (total, trivalent and hexavalent), copper, mercury, nickel, lead, zinc, selenium]; • Speciated (16 US EPA) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH); • Phenols (total); • pH; • Soluble sulphate; • Organic matter.
In addition, three soil samples were submitted for 9 band Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) testing and were screened for the presence of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM).
Two samples of Made Ground were submitted for Leachate testing. The following suite of contaminants were tested for:
• Selected metals suite [arsenic, cadmium, chromium (total, trivalent and hexavalent), copper, mercury, nickel, lead, zinc, selenium]; • Speciated (16 US EPA) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH); • Phenols (total); • pH; • Hardness; • Sulphate; • Organic matter.

Laboratory test results are included in Appendix E.
6.0 GROUND CONDITIONS
6.1 Strata Encountered
Up to 2.85m of Made Ground / Possible Made Ground was encountered overlying the Whitby Mudstone Formation. Full details of the strata encountered are given on the borehole records presented in Appendix C. A generalised ground profile is presented below to summarise the information.
Depth to Top of Thickness Stratum Strata (range) Comments (m bgl) (m)
Topsoil GL 0.20 – 0.30 Present at all locations
Made Ground 0.20 – 0.30 0.80 - 2.55 Thickens to east
Whitby Mudstone 0.30 – 2.85 >3.15 Base not proven Formation
6.2 Topsoil & Made Ground
Topsoil was encountered in each of the six boreholes and comprised firm sandy clay with fine to medium sandstone, limestone and ironstone gravel with rare brick fragments encountered in DCS1. At DCS2 the Topsoil comprised silty sand.
Made Ground was encountered in four of the six boreholes (DCS2, DCS3, DCS4 and DCS6) to depths of between 1.10m and 2.85m bgl and is considered to be the result of the creation of the topographic platforms/earthworks at the site and potentially represents reworked Northampton Sand Formation soils. The variable depths of Made Ground seem to correlate to the topographic plateaus at the site with DCS1 and DCS5 located on the western edge of the middle plateau recording no Made Ground and as such could be part of an area of previous cut. DCS2, DCS3 and DCS4 are located to the eastern end of the middle plateau and recorded Made Ground to between 2.1m and 2.85m bgl and as such could represent fill used to level the plateau. DCS6 recorded Made Ground to 1.1m bgl, which may represent general Made Ground associated with the construction of the school. The Made Ground typically comprised firm slightly gravelly sandy clay to slightly gravelly silty/clayey sand. The sand was predominantly fine to medium whilst the gravel comprised fine to coarse sandstone, ironstone and limestone with rare concrete fragments encountered in DCS2.
SPT’s within the cohesive Made Ground recorded ‘N’ values of 2 to 8, suggesting an approximate undrained shear strength of between 15 and 50kN/m2 (low to medium strength) based on an f1 of 6.5 and the recorded Plasticity Index of 12. SPT’s ‘within the granular Made Ground recorded ‘N’ values of 11 and 12 (medium dense). An SPT versus depth plot is included in Appendix A.
One particle size distribution test carried out in the Made Ground comprised 44% fines (silt and clay), 44% sand and 12% gravel.
AG2437-16-Y63 APPLiED GEOLOGY
Page 8 Isebrook SEN College, Kettering
One Atterberg test was carried out on a sample of the cohesive Made Ground recording a Plasticity Index of 12 (10.7% corrected) with a liquid limit of 35% indicating low to medium plasticity and low shrinkage potential. Natural moisture content was recorded at 32%.
6.3 Whitby Mudstone Formation
The Whitby Mudstone Formation was encountered in each of the six boreholes, beneath the Made Ground or Topsoil from depths of between 0.30m and 2.85m bgl. It typically comprised an upper weathered horizon of firm orangish brown mottled light bluish grey slightly sandy silty clay becoming firm to stiff fissured dark grey slightly sandy slightly micaceous clay with rare to occasional haematite staining from depths of between 1.40m to 3.00m bgl. At DCS5 horizons of frequent shell fragments were recorded between 1.45m and 1.55m bgl, extremely closely spaced silty sand laminae and black lignite were also encountered within the Whitby Mudstone Formation at this location. From 2.60m bgl at DCS6 rare gypsum crystals were visible.
Four Atterberg tests were carried out on samples of the Whitby Mudstone Formation. The Plasticity Index results were recorded at between 28 and 34, with liquid limits of between 50% and 55% indicating high plasticity and medium shrinkage potential. Natural moisture contents were recorded at between 25% and 29%.
SPT ‘N’ values within the Whitby Mudstone Formation ranged between 5 and 20, suggesting an undrained shear strength of between 20 and 90kN/m2 (low to high strength) based on an f1 of 4.5 from an average Plasticity Index of 31.
Comparison of the moisture content results with the plastic limits and plasticity indices indicates the soils to be stiff, which is comparable to the field consistency descriptions.
6.4 Groundwater and Variable Head Tests
Groundwater was only encountered during the formation of DCS4 within the Made Ground at 1.40m bgl.
One falling head test was carried out within DCS3 with the water level recorded to have dropped 0.72m over 256 minutes, which indicates a permeability of approximately 5 x 10-8 m/s. In calculating this permeability the groundwater level has been assumed at 3m bgl due to the hole being dry before commencing the test. The strata tested was principally the Made Ground with Whitby Mudstone strata present in the base of the hole, however, the Whitby Mudstone is likely to be practically impermeable so the permeability recorded is likely to be solely attributable to the Made Ground soils. The results are included in Appendix D.
6.5 Contamination
There was no visual or olfactory evidence of any gross contamination observed in the boreholes.

7.0 GEOENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
7.1 Human Health Risk Assessment
The results of the chemical testing on soils have been assessed as described in Appendix F, with specific details as follows:
• Proposed end-use – school; • Screening criteria – public open space (residential), assuming 2.5% SOM for Made Ground and Topsoil and 1% SOM for the Whitby Mudstone Formation.
The spreadsheets summarising the laboratory results and relevant screening values for each dataset are presented in Appendix E. In respect of benzo(a)pyrene and other genotoxic PAHs, various PAH ratios have been plotted and compared against data from the Culp et al study and found to be within the same range, therefore use of the surrogate marker approach is justified.
No concentrations of any determinands have exceeded the relevant soil screening values.
The Asbestos screening tests did not detect the presence of any Asbestos fibres.
It is considered that there is a negligible risk to human health receptors.
7.2 Controlled Waters Risk Assessment
The leachate testing has not found concentrations of any determinands above the relevant waters screening values. The spreadsheet summarising the laboratory results and relevant screening values are presented in Appendix E.
Based on the context of the site and the proposed redevelopment, there is considered to be a negligible risk to Controlled Waters.
7.3 Disposal of Soil Arisings
General comments regarding the procedures for the assessment of waste soil for off-site disposal purposes is included in Appendix F. From the chemical testing carried out the Made Ground is likely to be considered as non-hazardous (and therefore no WAC tests are needed) whilst the natural Whitby Mudstone Formation soils would likely be classified as inert. Therefore, the hazardous WAC suits requested by JPP Consulting are not necessary and were not scheduled.
7.4 Conclusions and Recommendations
The above risk assessments have established a negligible risk to human health and controlled water receptors. It is therefore considered that further assessment or remedial actions are not warranted for this redevelopment.
Issues with respect to ground gas and potential effects of contaminants on buried concrete and water supply pipework are included in Section 8.0.

8.0 GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT
8.1 General
The proposals comprise the demolition of the existing classroom blocks and the construction of a two storey building including a lift with associated covered link, pavements and playground. Loads provided by JPP Consulting (the Client’s Engineer) include maximum column loads of 780kN and maximum strip footing loads of 80kN per metre run.
The investigations have identified Made Ground (up to 2.85m bgl), underlain by the Whitby Mudstone Formation, which is weathered to a firm to stiff clay. Standing groundwater levels are not known as water was only encountered in DCS4 as a seepage from within the Made Ground at 1.40m bgl.
8.2 Foundation Design
It is considered that the Whitby Mudstone Formation at the site is suitable to support conventional strip/trench fill or pad foundations. These must be placed below any Made Ground or disturbed ground and also beneath any soft materials in the upper weathered horizons of the Whitby Mudstone Formation. It will be necessary to embed the foundations within the in-situ firm to stiff clay strata beneath these materials.
Although a minimum founding depth of 1.0m will apply to the site to allow for seasonal effects, the borehole data suggests that founding depths of up to 2.60m (assuming an embedment of 0.30m) are likely to be required to ensure that the above deepening criteria are met. Foundations are generally likely to be at shallower depth in the west and deeper in the east where filled ground has been recorded. Where they are within the influence of trees foundations will need to be deepened in accordance with standards such as those in NHBC Chapter 4.2 ‘building near trees’ and assuming medium shrinkage potential.
Strip/trench fill (up to 1m wide) and pad foundations (up to 2.5m x 2.5m) competently designed to the above requirements may adopt safe net design bearing pressures up to 125kN/m2. This is based on an undrained shear strength of 50kN/m2 at formation, increasing in strength with depth, using traditional methods of bearing capacity calculations e.g. as set out in Tomlinson 7th Edition and a factor of safety of 3 against bearing capacity failure whilst limiting total settlements to <25mm.
If conditions, significantly at variance to those described herein are encountered, specialist geotechnical advice should be sought to make appropriate assessment and recommendations.
8.3 Floor Slab and Gas Protection
Owing to the presence of Made Ground greater than 600mm in thickness and the presence of shrinkable clay soils a suspended floor slab is recommended for the ground floor.
Ground gas monitoring was not carried out at the request of the Client and therefore assessment of the need for ground gas protection is not possible. As discussed in
APPLiED GEOLOGY AG2437-16-Y63
Isebrook SEN College, Kettering Page 11
Section 3.0 radon protection measures may be required. The site has likely been labelled as a radon affected area due to the presence of Ironstone within the Northampton Sand Formation shown on geological mapping to be present adjacent to the west of the site. Given this and the presence of potentially re-worked Northampton Sand recorded beneath the site some radon protection measures are considered likely. The level of these measures will need to be agreed with the Local Authority.
8.4 Excavations
Excavations up to 2.60m deep are envisaged (but possible deeper) for the foundation excavations and service trenches. At these depths excavations are expected to be in a combination of Made Ground and weathered Whitby Mudstone Formation comprising clay. These materials may be prone to some short term instability and spalling and may need to be graded back to a stable angle or trench support should be provided. Trench support or the angle of batter should be designed by an appropriately qualified engineer or competent person to suit the required depth and the ground and groundwater conditions. Significant groundwater ingress is not expected, although it is recommended that some provision for obtaining sump pumping equipment is made to control any minor seepage and run off in wet weather conditions.
8.5 Pavement Design
The results of the TRL probes indicate CBRs of between 2% and 4% in the Topsoil, between 5% and 50% in the underlying Made Ground and 5% and 12% in the Whitby Mudstone Formation. Therefore, due to the inherent variability of the Made Ground, an equilibrium CBR value of 2% is recommended for this stratum. Any Made Ground encountered should be considered as frost susceptible and should not be present in the top 450mm of pavement construction. An equilibrium CBR value of 5% is recommended for the Whitby Mudstone Formation, which is not considered frost susceptible.
8.6 Soakaways
The result of the falling head test in DCS3 indicated a relatively slow permeability of 5x10-8 m/s. The test was mainly undertaken in the Made Ground interpreted to comprise re-worked Northampton Sand Formation and as such the permeability recorded is considered to represent this strata as the Whitby Mudstone Formation is likely to be practically impermeable. The discharge of surface water draining into the Made Ground soils is not recommended given that the water is likely to permeate down onto the top of the Whitby Mudstone Formation and flow into the River Ise to the east. In addition, water following this path would likely exit along or at the toe of the plateau slope potentially leading to slope stability concerns. Therefore, soakaways are not considered suitable for the proposed development.
AG2437-16-Y63 APPLiED GEOLOGY
Page 12 Isebrook SEN College, Kettering
8.7 Buried Concrete and Services
The results of the testing in the soils on site indicate characteristic values shown in the table below.
Total Design Water Soluble Strata Potential pH Sulphate ACEC Sulphate (g/l) Sulphate (%) Class Made Ground 0.37 0.15 6.7 DS-1 AC-1s Whitby Mudstone 1.04 1.59 5.9 DS-4 AC-3s Formation
The results of the sulphate tests carried out have identified the Design Sulphate Class to be DS-4 with the Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete (ACEC) being AC-3s for the Whitby Mudstone Formation as defined by the BRE Special Digest 1, Concrete Aggressive Ground, 2005 for a greenfield site and static groundwater regime. Further reference should be made to BRE Special Digest 1 for requirements in respect of types of cement and aggregate to be used and variations in type of concrete construction.
8.8 Conclusions and Recommendations
Conventional strip/trench fill or pad foundations bearing within the Whitby Mudstone Formation may adopt safe net design bearing pressures up to 125kN/m2 for 1m wide trench fill and up to 2.5m x 2.5m pads.
A suspended ground floor slab is recommended.
An equilibrium CBR value of 2% is recommended for pavement design within the Made Ground or 5% within the Whitby Mudstone Formation.
The site is considered unsuitable for soakaway drainage.
Sulphate resisting concrete appropriate to DS-4 and AC-3s conditions are required.

GENERAL NOTES
A) The assessment made in this report is based on the site terrain and ground conditions revealed by the various field investigations undertaken and also any other relevant data for the site including previous site investigation reports (if available) and desk study data. There may be special conditions appertaining to the site, however, which have not been revealed by the investigation and which have not, therefore, been taken into account in the report. The assessment may be subject to amendment in the light of additional information becoming available. It must be recognised that many of the Environmental Searches obtained during the course of the desk study are often lengthy. Applied Geology have, where appropriate and in the interests of simplicity, only reproduced the summary of the searches within the report. A full copy of all the search data is held at the Applied Geology office and is available for inspection if required.
B) The services provided are defined within our proposal and are carried out in line with the terms of appointment between Applied Geology and the Client.
C) Where any data supplied by the Client or other external source, including that from previous site investigations, has been used it has been assumed that the information is correct. No responsibility can be accepted by Applied Geology for inaccuracies within this data.
D) Whilst the report may express an opinion on possible configurations of strata between or beyond the exploratory locations, or on the possible presence of features based on either visual, verbal or published evidence this is for guidance only and no liability can be accepted for the accuracy.
E) Comments on groundwater (and landfill gas) conditions are based on observations made during the course of the present and past investigations or with reference to published data unless otherwise stated. It should be noted, however, that groundwater (and landfill gas) levels vary due to seasonal (or atmospheric conditions) or other effects.
F) The copyright of this report and other plans (and documents prepared by Applied Geology) is owned by Applied Geology and no such report, plan or document may be reproduced, published or adapted without the written consent of Applied Geology. Complete copies of the report may, however, be made and distributed by the Client as an expedient in dealing with matters related to its submission.
G) This report is prepared and written in the context of the proposals stated in the introduction to the report and should not be used in a differing context. Furthermore, new information, improved practices and legislation may necessitate an alteration to the report in whole or in part after its submission. Therefore with any change in circumstances or after the expiry of one year from the date of the report, the report should be referred to Applied Geology for re-assessment and if necessary, re- appraisal.
H) The survey was conducted and this report was prepared for the sole internal use and reliance of the Client. This report shall not be relied upon or transferred to any other parties without the express written authorisation of Applied Geology. If an unauthorised third party comes into possession of this report they rely on it at their peril and Applied Geology owes them no duty of care and skill.
I) Ground conditions should be monitored during the construction of the works and the recommendations of the report re- evaluated in the light of this data by the supervising geotechnical or geo-environmental engineers.
J) Unless specifically stated, the investigation has not taken into account the possible effects of mineral extraction.
K) The works performed are not a comprehensive site characterisation and should not be construed as being such.
L) The findings of the geo-environmental risk assessment are based on information obtained from a variety of sources which Applied Geology believe to be correct. Applied Geology cannot and does not guarantee the authenticity or reliability of the information it has relied upon.
M) The report represents the findings and opinions of experienced geo-environmental consultants. Applied Geology does not provide legal advice and the advice of lawyers may be required.
N) Conditions at the site are subject to change from the time of the site inspection.
O) It is possible that researches carried out by Applied Geology, whilst fully appropriate for a phase 1 desk study, failed to indicate the existence of important information sources. Assuming such indicators actually exist, their information could not have been considered in the formulation of Applied Geology findings and opinions.
P) The economic viability of the proposals referred to in the report, or of the solutions put forward to any problems encountered, depends on very many factors in addition to geotechnical considerations and hence its evaluation is outside the scope of this report.
Q) Applied Geology operates as a Consultancy and does not operate it's own laboratory for soil testing, this work being sub contracted to known and respected, generally UKAS accredited, laboratories. Applied Geology can therefore not be held responsible for the testing carried out.

Possibility of running sand problems after major changes in ground conditions. Normal maintenance to avoid leakage of water-bearing services or water bodies (ponds, swimming pools) should reduce likelihood of problems due to running sand. For new build, consider possibility of running sand into trenches or 2 44.0 NE Low excavations if water table is high or sandy strata are exposed to water. Avoid concentrated water inputs to site. Unlikely to be an increase in construction costs due to potential for running sand. For existing property, no significant increase in insurance risk due to running sand problems is likely.

These searches are conducted using radii of up to 500m. This includes information on potentially contaminative industrial sites, petrol stations and fuel sites as well as high pressure gas pipelines and un- derground electricity transmission lines. 5. Geology Provides information on artificial and superficial deposits and bedrock beneath the study site. 6. Hydrogeology and Hydrology Provides information on productive strata within the bedrock and superficial geological layers, abstraction licenses, Source Protection Zones (SPZs) and river quality. These searches are conducted using radii of up to 2000m. 7. Flooding Provides information on river and coastal flooding, flood defences, flood storage areas and groundwater flood areas. This search is conducted using radii of up to 250m. 8. 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 conduc- ted using radii of up to 2000m. 9. Natural Hazards Provides information on a range of natural hazards that may pose a risk to the study site. These factors include nat- ural ground subsidence and radon.. 10. Mining Provides information on areas of coal and non-coal mining and brine affected areas. 11. Contacts This 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 Technical Helpline (08444 159000) for further information and guidance. Note: Maps Only 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 proximity 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 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.

What is the highest risk of flooding onsite? High
The Environment Agency RoFRaS database provides an indication of river and coastal flood risk at a national level on a 50m grid with the flood rating at the centre of the grid calculated and given above. The data considers the probability that the flood defences will overtop or breach by considering their location, type, condition and standard of protection.
RoFRaS data for the study site indicates the property is in an area with a High (1 in 30 or greater) chance of flooding in any given year.
Any relevant data within 250m is represented on the RoFRaS Flood map. Data to 50m is reported in the table below.

7.7.1 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).
7.7.2 What is the highest susceptibility to groundwater flooding in the search area based on the underlying geological conditions?
Potential at Surface Where potential for groundwater flooding to occur at surface is indicated, this means that given the geological conditions in the area groundwater flooding hazard should be considered in all land-use planning decisions. It is recommended that other relevant information e.g. records of previous incidence of groundwater flooding, rainfall, property type, and land drainage information be investigated in order to establish relative, but not absolute, risk of groundwater flooding.
7.8 Groundwater Flooding Confidence Areas
What is the British Geological Survey confidence rating in this result? Moderate
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.

9.1 Detailed BGS GeoSure Data
BGS GeoSure Data has been searched to 50m. The data is included in tabular format. If you require further information on geology and ground stability, please obtain a Groundsure GeoInsight, available from our website. The following information has been found:
9.1.1 Shrink Swell
What is the maximum Shrink-Swell** hazard rating identified on the study site? Low
The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:
Hazard Ground conditions predominantly medium plasticity. Do not plant trees with high soil moisture demands near to buildings. For new build, consideration should be given to advice published by the National House Building Council (NHBC) and the Building Research Establishment (BRE). There is a possible increase in construction cost to reduce potential shrink-swell problems. For existing property, there is a possible increase in insurance risk, especially during droughts or where vegetation with high moisture demands is present.
9.1.2 Landslides
What is the maximum Landslide* hazard rating identified on the study site? Very Low
The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:
Hazard Slope instability problems are unlikely to be present. No special actions required to avoid problems due to landslides. No special ground investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with landslides.
9.1.3 Soluble Rocks
What is the maximum Soluble Rocks* hazard rating identified on the study site? Negligible
The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:
Hazard Soluble rocks are present, but unlikely to cause problems except under exceptional conditions. No special actions required to avoid problems due to soluble rocks. No special ground investigation required, and increased construction costs or increased financial risks are unlikely due to potential problems with soluble rocks.
* This indicates an automatically generated 50m buffer and site.
Report Reference: EMS-352682_473702 Client Reference: EMS_352682_473702 49 9.1.4 Compressible Ground
What is the maximum Compressible Ground* hazard rating identified on the study site? Moderate
The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:
Hazard Significant potential for compressibility problems. Avoid large differential loadings of ground. Do not drain or de-water ground near the property without technical advice. For new build Ö consider possibility of compressible ground in ground investigation, construction and building design. Consider effects of groundwater changes. Extra construction costs are likely. For existing property ×°ossible increase in insurance risk from compressibility, especially if water conditions or loading of the ground change significantly.
9.1.5 Collapsible Rocks
What is the maximum Collapsible Rocks* hazard rating identified on the study site? Very Low
The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:
Hazard Deposits with potential to collapse when loaded and saturated are unlikely to be present. No special ground investigation required or increased construction costs or increased financial risk due to potential problems with collapsible deposits.
9.1.6 Running Sand
What is the maximum Running Sand** hazard rating identified on the study site? Low
The following natural subsidence information provided by the British Geological Survey is not represented on mapping:
Hazard Possibility of running sand problems after major changes in ground conditions. Normal maintenance to avoid leakage of water-bearing services or water bodies (ponds, swimming pools) should reduce likelihood of problems due to running sand. For new build Ö consider possibility of running sand into trenches or excavations if water table is high or sandy strata are exposed to water. Avoid concentrated water inputs to site. Unlikely to be an increase in construction costs due to potential for running sand. For existing property Ö no significant increase in insurance risk due to running sand problems is likely.
9.2 Radon
9.2.1 Radon Affected Areas
Is the property in a Radon Affected Area as defined by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and if so what percentage of homes are above the Action Level? The property is in a Radon Affected Area, as between 10 and 30% of properties are above the Action Level.

STANDARD FIELDWORK AND ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES
Scope of Work
The scope of work undertaken is defined in Section 1.1 of the Report. It should be noted that Applied Geology Limited does not provide arboricultural surveys or specialist surveys for the detection of invasive plant species (such as Japanese Knotweed) or protected species of wildlife. Information from environmental and ecological datasets is included from a review of the MAGIC (Multi-Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside) website, however, if a full assessment of Environmental or Ecological aspects is required, it is recommended that other specialists are consulted. Similarly, information on flood risk is included obtained from the Environment Agency Web site and the GroundSure report but this is not intended to be a full hydrological study and if a flood risk assessment is needed, additional analysis by others is recommended to confirm this aspect of the development.
Fieldwork
Fieldwork is generally carried out, in accordance with BS5930 (1999) “Code of Practice for Site Investigations”, BS10175 Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Sites, and the Association of Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Specialist Guidelines for Good Practice in Site Investigations (August 1998)
Prior to commencement on site, statutory services plans are generally obtained and verbal enquiries are also made regarding the positions of private or statutory services on site. Prior to excavation or drilling, locations are scanned with a cable avoidance tool (CAT) and service pits are generally excavated at borehole positions, where possible.
Descriptions and depths of the various strata recovered are presented on the exploratory hole records, reproduced in the report appendices, together with sample depths, the results of in-situ testing, comments on groundwater inflows, and any other pertinent information. The strata descriptions are in accordance with BS5930:1999 incorporating Amendment No 2 (2010). Disturbed plastic pot and glass amber jar samples are recovered from the various strata and stored and transported in cool boxes, where relevant, for possible future laboratory testing.
Light cable percussion boreholes are generally drilled using a Pilcon Wayfarer or Dando rig and are advanced using equipment to bore 200/150mm diameter boreholes. Disturbed plastic pot samples are recovered from all deposits encountered to allow examination and laboratory testing. Certain strata are cased off due to their tendency to collapse, particularly in the presence of groundwater inflows and/or to reduce the risk of cross contamination. In situ Standard Penetration Tests, using Split Spoon (SPT) and Cone (CPT) are undertaken in the boreholes to provide a measure of the relative density of the granular (coarse grained) deposits or shear strength of the clay/chalk/ weathered rock deposits using industry recognised correlation guidelines of shear strength against SPT “N” value results. Within the fine grained (cohesive) deposits, “undisturbed” 100mm driven open tube samples were recovered from the various deposits to provide samples for examination and laboratory testing. On encountering groundwater, boring is usually suspended for 20 minutes while any rise in water level is recorded. Full details of the groundwater observations and monitoring results during boring operations are included on the borehole records. All boreholes without monitoring wells installed are usually backfilled with arisings upon completion, unless otherwise stated on the individual logs.
Unless otherwise stated on the relevant logs, trial pits are excavated using a wheeled backhoe excavator, usually with a 0.6m wide bucket. The excavations are logged from the ground surface by an Engineering Geologist / Geo-environmental Engineer and relevant field testing, appropriate to the soils encountered, is carried out on samples brought to the surface. Disturbed soil samples are collected from selected horizons for subsequent laboratory testing. The trial pits are usually unshored and where reasonable, left open for a period of time to allow observations of pit stability APPLIED GEOLOGY Page 2 of 4
and depth and inflow rate of any groundwater ingress. The excavations are backfilled with arisings prior to moving on to the next position. Any trial pits carried out as part of this or previous investigations may represent soft spots and conduits/sumps for groundwater or surface water. In excavations, such materials may also be loose and unstable.
Driven Continuous Sampling (DCS) boreholes are drilled using a track mounted Global mini-rig or similar using sampling tubes of varying diameter (decreasing with depth). Samples of the deposits encountered are recovered in 1m long clear plastic liners, which are logged and sub-sampled on site by an Engineering Geologist. Generally for geotechnical investigations, during the drilling process in- situ Standard Penetration Tests (SPTs) are undertaken at selected depths to determine the relative density of coarse grained deposits encountered or the in-situ strength of fine grained deposits by comparing the SPT "N" value results with published empirical data. Groundwater seepages are noted during drilling if encountered. All boreholes without monitoring wells installed are usually backfilled with arisings upon completion.
Unless specifically stated in the report, exploratory hole locations should be regarded as approximate. Consideration should be given to accurate location of the exploratory holes where it is considered they may impact on proposed development.
Laboratory Testing
The geotechnical testing was carried out in accordance with BS 1377:1990 Method of Tests for Soils for Civil Engineering Purposes and was undertaken by a UKAS accredited specialist laboratory. Chemical testing was undertaken by a UKAS accredited specialist chemical testing laboratory and MCERTS accredited methods, in accordance with Environment Agency recommendations, were specified where available.
Contamination Assessment – Human Health
Applied Geology Limited has followed the guidance given in the CLR 11 publication and other available guidance to assess the contaminant concentrations. Details of the methodology followed are briefly outlined below.
The available chemical data is sorted into appropriate datasets depending on sampling regime and ground conditions. An initial generic quantitative risk assessment is undertaken on this data using statistical tests, where appropriate, and appropriate screening values.
Risk to human health has been initially assessed by comparing soil results against various published screening criteria. These have been sourced from the following, in order of preference:
• DEFRA. Category 4 Screening Levels (C4SL), March 2014; • LQM/CIEH S4UL for Human Health Risk Assessment (S4UL), 2015*; • Environment Agency/DEFRA, Soil Guideline Values (SGV) published in 2009; • EIC/AGS/CL:AIRE Soil Generic Assessment Criteria (GAC), 2010; • Atkins (ATRISKsoil), Soil Screening Values (SSV), March 2011.
Except for lead and benzo(a)pyrene, the assessments will be carried out by comparing results against the LQM/CIEH S4UL in the first instance, where these values are exceeded, then reference will be made to the C4SLs where such exist. Lead will only be compared to the C4SL because no S4UL exists for lead. For Benzo(a)pyrene, Applied Geology has chosen to adopt the approach presented by the C4SL committee rather than the approach proposed by LQM/CIEH. Further discussion on this is presented below.

APPLIED GEOLOGY Page 3 of 4
It is our view, and the view of others in the industry, that the C4SL were derived for use in both the Part IIA system and through the planning system, as they allow identification of those sites that fall within Category 4 (not contaminated) and are therefore are able to be developed with no further remedial action. The C4SLs are considered to represent a contamination level that is ‘low’ from a toxicological view point, which we therefore consider to be ‘acceptable’ under planning.
Historically, the level of contamination has been assessed with reference to SGV values which were derived to represent a ‘minimal’ level of contamination. The SGVs are still valid and can be used alongside C4SL, however both screening values are only intended to provide guidance as to the level of contamination and, where concentrations fall below these screening values, the site is not contaminated (and is within Category 4). Exceedance of a SGV/S4UL/C4SL does not automatically indicate that an ‘unacceptable’ risk exists at a site; simply that further consideration of that particular contaminant is required.
At this time, there are two toxicological methodologies that can be used in the derivation of screening criteria for PAHs; Relative Potency Factor (RPFs) or the Surrogate Marker approach. Applied Geology has chosen (based on the latest guidance from the HPA) to use the surrogate marker approach proposed in the C4SL methodology, whereby benzo(a)pyrene can be used as a surrogate marker for all ‘genotoxic’ (gene damaging) PAHs. The surrogate marker approach estimates the toxicity of a mixture of PAHs in an environmental matrix by using data from toxicity studies in which a PAH mixture of known composition was tested. Exposure to the surrogate marker benzo(a)pyrene is assumed to represent exposure to all the PAHs in the environmental matrix. Thus, the level of toxicity ascribed to the surrogate represents the toxicity of the PAH mixture. This allows an assessment of the combined carcinogenic risk associated with genotoxic PAHs using only benzo(a)pyrene. In order to confirm that the mixture of genotoxic PAH in the soil is similar to the coal tar mixture used in the toxicological study, various PAH ratios will be plotted and checked to see that they fall within the limits set in HPA, 2010.
Contamination Assessment – Controlled Waters
Risks to Controlled Waters have been assessed by following the guidance given in the CLR11 Model Procedures Report (EA 2004) and EA publication “Remedial Targets Methodology. Hydrogeological Risk Assessment for Land Contamination (EA 2006)”.
This guidance presents a recommended methodology comprising several levels of assessment for deriving site-specific remedial objectives (Target Values) for contaminated soils and/ or groundwater in order to protect the aquatic environment. The different levels of assessment are summarised below.
Level Soil Source Groundwater Source 1 Partition into leachate Not applicable
2 As above, plus attenuation in the Direct comparison to unsaturated zone and dilution in appropriate quality standards the aquifer 3 As above, plus lateral attenuation Lateral attenuation in the in the saturated zone to off-site saturated zone to off-site compliance point compliance point *soil leachate extraction test results used if available and appropriate.
Effectively the Level 1 soil and Level 2 groundwater assessments are preliminary. The other level is a detailed assessment requiring the use of suitable software, which is outside the scope of this investigation.
From the available soil, leachate and groundwater results, chemicals of concern are selected which are then directly compared to appropriate published standards. The principal standards used to assess the potential risks to controlled waters are the UK drinking water standards (UK DWS) and APPLIED GEOLOGY Page 4 of 4
the Environment Agency’s Environmental Standards (ES), which are derived for the protection of aquatic life.
Waste Soil Disposal
A specific categorisation and assessment of potential waste soils arising from the proposed development has not been undertaken as part of the investigation, unless otherwise detailed in the report text. However, generic comments and advice are made below for the reader.
Any excavated soil material and excess spoil disposed of off-site should be treated as Waste and classified as Inert, Non-hazardous or Hazardous for off-site disposal prior to removal from site as required by the “Duty of Care” (Environmental Protection Act, 1990) legislation together with Annex II of Directive 1999/31/EC (“Landfill Directive”).
All waste soils should be sorted to prevent mixtures of waste types. Where possible, any waste soil should be recycled and the volume of soil to be disposed of should be minimised. Initially, Basic Characterisation of the waste is required whereby the material should be described and its source of origin recorded (a site plan, exploratory hole records and the certificates of chemical analysis in this report should be included).
This should also include data on its composition and leaching behaviour, its European Waste Catalogue (EWC) code, and where relevant any hazardous properties according to Annex III of Directive 91/689/EEC. This information should be provided to the licensed waste contractor.
Soils excavated on many sites would generally fall under the EWC description “Soil and Stones”, EWC code 17 05 04 with restrictions excluding topsoil and peat. Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) testing is required for all other Inert wastes and Hazardous Waste where relevant but not for non- hazardous waste.
Any asbestos must be disposed of by suitably licensed contractors to a suitably licensed facility.
Health & Safety Aspects
As outlined within the HSE publication ‘Successful Health and Safety Management - HSG65’, this report should inform your development of safe systems of work and information as an input into the safety management system.
When developing risk control systems we suggest making reference to the CIRIA report 132 "A guide for safe working on contaminated sites" and the HSE document "Protection of workers and the general public during the development of contaminated land – HSG66". All risk control measures should be in accordance with the guidelines laid down within the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
The contents of this report may be used to supplement the contents of the Health and Safety File as required under the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations.
Trench support or the angle of batter should be designed by an appropriately qualified engineer or competent person to suit the required depth and the ground and groundwater conditions.
Care should be taken when digging excavations to prevent undermining or causing loss of support to the foundations of the nearby adjoining structures. Surcharging such as from spoil or vehicle movements close to excavation sides should be avoided
Practical guidance on trench excavation is given in CIRIA Report 97 Trenching Practice. Guidance on groundwater control is given in CIRIA Report 113 Control of groundwater for temporary works. Temporary works should be designed by a suitably qualified engineer or a competent person particularly where personnel access is necessary, in accordance with the requirements of the Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations.
