1.0 Introduction
In accordance with your authorization, Sub-Surface Informational
Surveys, Inc. (SIS) reports to you the results of a ground penetrating radar
survey performed on Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at the Northampton
Lumber Company, 256 Pleasant Street in the City/Town of Northampton,
MA. This survey was directed by your approval of SIS quotation #1.5336.13
dated June 21, 2013.
1.1 Purpose and Scope
The purpose of the survey was for the location of suspect underground
storage tanks and the clearing of proposed boring locations.

2.0 Geophysical Survey
Sub-Surface Informational Surveys Incorporated performed a geophysical survey. A transducer
operator/supervising GPR technician performed the survey.
2.1 Geophysical Survey Procedures
The depth setting of the GPR survey was approximately 10.0’ to locate any existing underground
storage tanks (UST’s) and/or utilities and unknown anomalies. A traverse grid with a 4.0’ minimum
spacing was used to conduct the GPR survey. Typically a 5.0’ – 10.0’ spacing is sufficient to detect all
large capacity UST’s (500-gallon or greater), septic systems and underground utilities with a high degree of
certainty. The spacing of 4.0’ was used to better define any existing suspected anomalies.
The following is an explanation of the equipment used during our survey:
1. The equipment used to conduct the geophysical survey included GPR equipment which consists
of subsurface interface radar (SIR-3000/2000) computer manufactured by Geophysical Survey Systems,
Inc., power supply, graphic recorder, video display unit and transmitting/receiving antenna. The equipment
is known collectively as a GPR system. The transmitting/receiving antenna transmits electromagnetic
signals into the subsurface and then detects, amplifies and displays reflections of the signal on a graphic
recorder and a video display unit. As the antenna is moved slowly across the ground surface or surface of
contact, a radar image of the subsurface is produced. The maximum depth of penetration of the GPR signal
and the resolution of the reflections are a function of the antenna frequency and the electrical properties of
the subsurface. As electrical conductivity of the subsurface increases, GPR signal penetration decreases.
GPR reflections are produced by spatial changes in the physical properties of the subsurface (I.e., type of
material, presence of any subsurface fluid and porosity) and related changes in the electrical properties of
the subsurface material in the path of the signals. The greater the difference in the subsurface structures the
stronger the GPR reflection seen in the data.
Characteristics that are considered in the interpretation of the GPR data from a given site include
the size, shape and amplitude of the reflections. Metallic underground storage tanks (UST’s), utilities and
conduits have electrical properties uniquely different from those of the soils in which they are buried. As a
result, the GPR reflections are usually of high amplitude and have distinctive shapes. For GPR profiles
oriented perpendicular to the long axis of the tanks, the signature is similar to a hyperbola. The signature is
also a function of the tank diameter.
Above is a SAMPLE DZT file of UST’s (Not part of this survey)

2. Pipehorn 500 Dual-Transmitter, Dual-Frequency Locator: This unit has two separate
transmitters. One operates at the highest frequency available in sweeping an area of tracing poor
conductors such as iron pipes, fiber optic cable w/tracer tape. A second, low frequency transmitter enables
us to quickly isolate a single conductor in congested areas, or to trace for a long distance. NOT
IMPLEMENTED
3. The Subsite 75R/75T: This unit provides digital signal processing for a variety of
applications. The unit offers Active, Passive and Beacon locating modes. The unit transmits via direct line
connections, induction clamp or induces broadcast signals. An 80 kHz frequency facilitates locating
metallic lines with insulators that weaken or block low frequencies. In passive mode, detects signals
generated by 50/60 HZ power as well as radiated radio frequencies. NOF IMPLEMENTED
4. Verifier G2® Professional Utility Location System. NOT
IMPLEMENTED
2.2 Geophysical Survey Results
A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted throughout the asphalt-paved area of the lumber
yard including the concrete pads under the canopy in the rear of the main building. Traverses were
conducted in both north/south and east/west directions finding no parabolic features characteristic of
underground storage tanks. A tank [grave] was found near the main entrance. Several underground
utilities were found and painted on site on the day of the GPR survey.

The survey started at the main entrance to the property at Pleasant Street and continued in the counter-
clockwise pattern ending at the southern end of the property on Holyoke Street.

tank. The new fill is seen from approximately 88.0’ into the data through 100.0’. No other unusual
anomalies in the above file.

GPR.Report.2012.ECS.0476
Above DZT GPR Data file shows parabolic feature of storm drain which runs in a north/south
orientation through the open asphalt-paved area in the rear of the building. These were traced to the
storm drain grates and painted on site. There were multiple storm drains both east and west of the
canopy area. Several proposed boring locations (PBL’s) had to be relocated due to their close
proximity to the drains.
Pavement markings include PBL’s and storm drain as seen above.
Storm drain at southern end of the property painted on site.

GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
SURVEY RESULTS
GPR.Report.2012.ECS.0476
The above files show clear GPR penetration to approximately 10.0’ below the surface. There appears
to be an increase in conductivity possibly due to moisture at approximately 8.5’ below the surface.
Scanning was performed up to all of the surface objects as shown above
