Project No. PG-9236 Page | 6 November, 2022 Ref: PG-9236, 2022-10-31, ASR VER 1 Looroo Property Trust – Acid Sulfate Soil Investigation - Proposed Residential Development, 128-132 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville b) A pHFOX value at least one unit below pHF may indicate a potential ASS. The great the difference between the two measurements, the more indicative the value is of a potential ASS. The lower the final pHFOX value the better the indication of a positive result. c) If the pHFOX is less than 3, and the other two conditions apply, then it strongly indicates a potential ASS. The more the pHFOX drops below 3, the more positive the presence of sulfides. In broad summary, several of the ‘natural’ soil samples tested did show an indication of ASS presence between 1.5m and 2.5m. The results of the screening tests were used to assist in the selection of samples for more detailed, quantitative laboratory testing. Chromium Suite Analysis Chromium suite analysis was undertaken to quantify existing soil acidity and potential future acid generation from possible ASS. A summary of results is given in Table 2. TABLE 2 CHROMIUM SUITE TESTING SUMMARY Nett Acidity Liming Rate BH No. Depth (m) (mol H+/t) (kg CaCO3/t) 1.0 <1 Nil 2.0 75 6 BH01 3.0 <1 Nil 4.0 <1 Nil 1.0 <1 Nil 2.0 <1 Nil BH02 3.0 <1 Nil 4.0 <1 Nil Summary On the basis of the testing undertaken, samples between 1.5m and 2.5m below ground level provided nett acidity values above the QASSIT defined action criteria. Therefore, some of the soils disturbed on-site should be treated in accordance with the attached Acid Sulfate Soil Management Plan. The results of the laboratory testing are appended to this report. 6.0 LIMITATIONS We have prepared this report for the Proposed Residential Development at 128-132 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.
