Task 1: Review of Surface Oeol.o. gic Soil Dato. Task I will include a review 6fUSGS topographic
maps and surface soil data published by the U.S. Department of Agricultur~ Soils Conservation
Service, to determine the type of surface soils present, their physical characteristics, and the
potential for surface or subsurface migration.
Iask 2: Review of Historical Aerial Photogravhs. Task 2 will include a revi¢i~v of historical aerial
photograph enlargements for several years from 1965 (older if available) to! 1992 obtained from
aerial photographic firms having inventory of the subject area. The photographs will be reviewed
to evaluate previous land-me characteristics for the property and adjacent pare,Is. The photographs
will also be checked for possible oil and gas exploration activities, surficial ~omalies associated
with waste ponds or dumps, and previous commercial and industrial activities..
Task ~..: Regulatory A~ene¥ Site Listings. Task 3 will include a review of d°4umented site listings
from the following selected regulatory agency sources:

Task 6: Site Reeog0aissance. - H?mrdous SubCances..or Petroleum Prg.ducts. l'ask 6 will include a
site reconnaissance to evaluate current land conditiOns and current and for,aer land use and to
assess any anomalies identified from the aerial photograph review. A grid pattern of transects will
be established to allow the property to be physically inspected so that no area will not be observed.
Adjacent parcels will be reviewed in the field to check for potential high-risk industries or
environmental features which could impact the subject tract. Site photographs of any anomalous
surface features will be obtained along with site typical photographs. The recgmnaissance will also
include personal interviews with knowledgeable individuals and site observations for surface
indications of possible underground storage tanks (UST) and oil and gas well sites located on or
immediately adjacent to the property.
~ask 7: Review of Oil and Gas Drill S.i. te.s. Task 7 will include a review for nearby documented oil
and gas well drill sites. On-site oil and gas well drill sites may pose an environmental risk to the
tract if not plugged. Previous drill sites may also be associated with drill pits! which could contain
residual drilling muds, naturally occurring radioactive material, brine wasles, and/or produced
liquids. We will review oil and gas well listings published by the Tobin Map Company or the
Geomap Company. In the event that oil and gas well sites are located in the search area, then a non-
scope review of the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) well records in Austin, Texas may be
recommended to check for drilling and plugging records and to more accurately determine if the
wells are located onsite and the status of such wells. The objective of the pilate I Environmental
Site Assessment will be to evaluate the potential for selected environmental risks.
TASK III
WETLAND ~ETERMINATION AN~ DELINEATION_
SCOPE OF WQRK
The objective &the Delineation is to evaluate the potential .for the property site or any portion &the site to
be classified as a "Jurisdictional Water of the United States" under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and
the existence of other selected wetland environmental risks.
Delineation work will consist of the following tasks: 1) review of NRCS Soil Survey maps for listed hydric
soils; 2) interpretation of historic and current aerial photographs, including infra ~ed imagery; 3) site
reconnaissance for wetland indicators, including hydrophytic vegetation, hydrologic cOnditions that occur in
wetlands and for hydric soil conditions; 4) preparation of a map representing the sizes, shapes,
classifications, and locations of any jurisdictional areas detected; 5) flagging of"'jurisdiotional" areas; and
6) preparation ora report of findings.
Task 1: Review of NRCS Soil Surveys: Task 1 will include a review of previously published soil
data published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service, to
determine the types of surface soils expected to be confirmed by on-site soil amlysis.
Task 2: Review of Aerial Photographs: Task 2 will include a review of historical aerial color and
black/white photographic enlargements for selected years. Infrared color photographs will be
analyzed for the presence of wetland signature color distortions. Information for all photographic
interpretation will be compared to locate recurring sites where wetland signatures are present.
Task 3: Site Reconnaissance f0r~ Wetland Indicators. Task 3 will include inspecting the property
under the field procedures outlined in the 1987 Manual for Wetland Determination by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. Identified wetlands will be classified as "isolated," "adjacent," or other
jurisdictional waters.

Transects will be performed across the property, perpendicular to the nearest {atercourse. Samples
of vegetation, soils, and hydrology indicators will be taken at each chanl[e in topography or
vegetation. Vegetation samples will be evaluated and recorded at each s~'nple area. Upland
vegetation will be verified, for it is as significant as wetland vegetation iht he determination
process. Inspection of the property for evidence or lack of wetland hydrology~will be performed at
each sample area. Soil samples will be evaluated at each test site for their hlgdric and non-hydrie
characteristics. Non-hydrie soils verify upland status and are as significant as hydric soils in the
determination process. As many as 50+ sample sites, evaluating vegetationi soil, and hydrology
criteria, may be necessary.
Ta~k 4: Preparation of.~ Man Re~res~tijlg Wetland Areas: Task 4 will includ[e the preparation cfa
scaled map to show wetland areas and the limits of Jurisdictional Waters. Upton completion of the
site reconnaissance and in-office analysis of the study data, the boundaries or,he areas determined
to be Jurisdictional Waters of the United States will be plotted on a scaled map. Based upon field
data collected and cross-section measarements, taken while performing site reconnaissance, each
Jurisdictional area will be depicted with the following information: (1) size ~d shape; (2) surface
area calculation (acres); (3) classification; and (4) combined total wetland and Jurisdictional Water
area calculations for the entire subject tract.
T~sk 5 Flaga~ing.of We~la.r~d Areas: Task 5 will include the flagging of the jarisdietional areas for
survey by GPS equipment. It is recommended that the jurisdictional areas iderltified be located by a
RPLS survey or a Global Positioning System in order to obtain more precise lcteation and size of the
jurisdictional areas for project planning purposes. Upon completion of the s~rvey information the
final report submitted to the client from Berg, Oliver Associates will reflect the surveyed data.
T~ask 6: Report Preparation: Task 6 will include the preparation of a final rept~rt. Upon completion
of the site reconnaissance, data translation, and map preparation, a report wiil be completed. The
report will include a discussion of methodology used to delineate the tract, site findings, copies of
all historical information reviewed, such as USGS topographical maps, NRCS soil survey maps,
aerial photographs, site photographs, USACE routine data sheets, and a wetland delineation map.
GPS, .S.U'RVEY
SCOPE OF WORK
In order to verify the wetland areas and the limits of the jurisdictional waters for the Walnut Road
expansion project from Austin Road to Grand Boulevard, a survey of the limits of the potential
jurisdictional wetlands will be needed. The City of Pearland mast survey the jurisdi~ional waters, so that
the delineation can be verified by the USACE. If the City chooses to have Berg,Oliver perform the GPS
Survey, it will be invoiced as a separate service (approximate cost of $1,200.00).

Attachment A
Standard Procedures for Soil B.rlngs
The following paragraphs provide informat/on regarding standard procedures ulilizcd by QC
Laboratories, Inc. £or soil borings associated with Gcotcchnical investigations, Where applicable,
references to AS'I'M procedures are made. These references provide more thorough explanation
of procedures. In some cases ASTM procedure.q are moditied to accommodate local conditions
and practices. Field data collected and soil classifications are r~orted on the soil-boring log.
Boring Advancement
Soil Sampling-Standard Penetration Text
Soil borings are advanccd u.qing rotary drilling
methods, Auger procedures ate used where
posqible to allow ob,~ervation of groundwater. In
unstable soils and below groundwater thc
borings are advanced using a rotary wxsh
procedure to stabilize and to flush cuttings fi'om
thc boring.
Groundwater Observations
During the advancement of soil borings, llmd
levels ia the borings ate monitored to de~ect the
prcsencc of groundwater or subsurthcc seepage
waler. Observations are made in general
accordance with ASTM D4750. Typically, the
depth that tYee wattle is originally encountered
and the shoot-term rise chagacteristics are noted.
In some cases, long-term levels are noted.
Soil Sampling - Auger Samples
Auger samples are collected as a cost-effective
method to obtain samples lbr class/lication attd
moisture content determination purposes.
Dis~lrbed samples are obtained directly from thc
auger in general accordance with ASTM D1452.
The samples are classified in general accordance
with ASTM D2488 and placed in protective
containers lbr return to the laboralory,
Soil Sampling- Undisturbed Samples
Representative disturbed samples of cohesion
less soils are obtained from borings by driving a
two-inch outer diameter, split-spoon sampler a
distance of 18 inches into the soil wilh a 140-lb
hammer falling a distance of 30 inchcs in general
accordance v, dth ASTM D1586. The number 0£
blows required to drive the ~ampler ii,rough the
three, 6 inch penetration increments is recorded
and the final two incren'u:nts arc sunu'ned and
listed as the standard penetration resistance in
blows per lbot.
Allc'r thc penetration test is pcribrmed, the spill-
spoon sampler is removed from the boring and
the sample is classified in general accordance
with ASTM D2488. A representative portion of
the soil is sealed in a glass jar for mimmization
of moisture loss during transport to the
laboratory, and then placed ia a protective
container for return to the laboratory and
possible testing.
Contractual Considerations
This letter, Attachment A (Standard
Procedures for Soil Borings) and
Attacbxtent B (Gcaacral Conditions ibr
Engineering Services). Our Statement oF
Qualifications can be found at
WW W. Q C [~ ab.~.....c.' ~_~.
Representative undisturbed samplcs of cohesive
and seml-cohcsive soils are obtatned by pushing
a 3-inch outer diameter, Shelby ,cube sampler a
distance of 2 feet into the soil in gcmcxal
accordance with AS'I'M D 1587. The Shelby tube
sampler is ret~mved from a boring, and the soil
sample is extruded in thc field. The extruded
sample is classified in general accordaace with
ASTM D2488. A representative portion of thc
soil is scaled lbr minimization of moisture loss
during lra~sport to the laboratory, and then
placed in a protective container for return to thc
laborer,ney and possible testing.
