ISSUE – ACID SULPHATE SOILS

We have been engaged as the geotechnical consultants for the development.

We can confirm that the proposed filling of the site will not lead to an increased risk of acid sulphate soils
creation. This is due in part to the potential settlement of the residual soils or a lowering of the ground water
level as a result of the filling being less than 25mm. As opposed to the existing circumstances where ground
water levels in the area can have a variance upwards to 0.5m during tidal cycles or seasonal variations
throughout any given year.

Yours faithfully
