          SOIL PERMEABILITY

  In addition to the soil borehole logs, two permeability tests were carried out using a constant head
  permeameter test to determine the actual permeability of the site soils. The recorded KSAT value is
  summarised in Table 2 below and the respective locations of each permeability test are shown on the
  borehole plan in Appendix B. The permeability test results indicate that the site soils generally comprise
  of a moderately structured Light Clay (Category 5) of low to moderate permeability at Borehole 1 and a
  massively structured medium to heavy Clay (Category 6) of low permeability at Borehole 3.

  During the site investigations, no permanent water table or seepage/perched groundwater was
  encountered within the boreholes, however moist soil conditions were noted in all four boreholes.
