INTRODUCTION

This report presents the of the thermal and electrical resistivity testing performed

for the proposed Eight Points Wind Farm and Transmission Line. Our services for

this project were authorized by Eight Point Wind LLC Purchase Order 2000239122

dated May 12, 2017. This report is preliminary as not all required testing locations

could be accessed.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Initially our scope of services was described in the referenced purchase order and

subsequently was modified based upon Sargent & Lundy Specification No. 13139-

045-001X dated July 13, 2017. Resistivity testing performed included:

• In-situ electrical resistivity testing performed at the Substation and available

designated wind turbine and transmission line structure locations,

• In-situ thermal resistivity testing performed at designated wind turbine and

junction box locations, and

• Laboratory thermal resistivity testing performed upon undisturbed and bulk

samples obtained from designated wind turbine and junction box locations.

Electrical resistivity testing was performed in accordance with ASTM Method G57

“Standard Test Method for Field Measurement of Soil Resistivity Using the Wenner

Four-Electrode Method”. The pin spacing varied based upon the structure being

testing per Table 2 of the authorized scope of services. Electrical resistivity testing

locations are presented in Appendix A.

Earth thermal resistivity (RHO) sampling and testing was completed in accordance

with ASTM D3740, ASTM D5334 and applicable portions of IEEE Std 442. Thermal

resistivity testing locations are summarized in Appendix B.

ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TESTING

Electrical resistivity testing was performed using an AGI MiniSting R1/IP with four

probes and up to 1350 feet of cable. Testing was performed at maximum probe

spacings up to 25 feet at turbine locations, 50 feet at transmission line structures, and

450 feet at the substation. Electrical resistivity testing results are presented in

Appendix C.

THERMAL RESISTIVITY FIELD SAMPLING & TESTING Thermal resistivity testing was performed with Decagon KD-2 Pro thermal resistivity

meter with a TR-1 sensor probe.

In-situ Testing

In-situ testing was performed by first excavating soil to a depth of 48 inches

and then inserting the TR-1 sensor probe into undisturbed soil in the wall of

the excavation at a depth of 36 inches. Earth temperature was measured at

a depth of 48 inches using the KD-2 probe and TR-1 sensor in undisturbed

soil in a manner to reduce the effect of the atmospheric temperature Test

results were measured in ˚C-cm/W. Test results are presented in Appendix

D. Undisturbed Samples

Undisturbed samples were retrieved using a modified California sampler

equipped with a brass liner tubes in accordance with ASTM D1587.

Samples were taken starting at a depth of 42 inches below existing grade

for all locations where subsurface soils allowed. Subsurface soils at

locations T-2, T-5, and T-6 consist of hard weathered rock at depths of 24, 30

and 12 inches respectively. Undisturbed samples were taken at

approximately 12 inches below grade at these locations to prevent tube

failure. Samples were packed and sealed in accordance with ASTM D4220

to preserve the characteristics of the undisturbed native soil. The

undisturbed samples were then transported to our laboratory and tested for

moisture content, unit weight, and thermal resistivity. Test results are

presented in Appendix E.

Bulk Earth Samples

Bulk earth samples were retrieved through excavation and blending

representative samples of soil between depths of 12 to 48 inches. The

samples were sealed to avoid drying. Samples were then transported to

our laboratory for testing.

THERMAL RESISTIVITY LABORATORY TESTING

Thermal resistivity laboratory testing was performed with Decagon KD-2 Pro thermal

resistivity meter with a TR-1 sensor probe.

Undisturbed Samples

Samples were received in the laboratory intact and undamaged. The

thermal resistivity of each sample was measured by inserting the TR-1

probe sensor into the center of the sample and running the test with the KD-

2 Pro meter. The moisture content of each sample was measured in

determined in accordance with ASTM D2216. The density of the

undisturbed sample was then measured in accordance with ASTM D7263.

Testing results are presented in Appendix E.

Bulk Earth Samples

The bulk samples from each location were thoroughly blended using a

Gilson universal sample splitter. A standard Proctor moisture-density

relationship test was then performed in accordance with ASTM D698 to

determine the samples’ maximum dry density and optimum moisture

content. The standard proctor curve for each location is presented in

Appendix F. A re-constituted sample was then prepared for each location

by re-compacting a sample to 85% of its maximum dry density at its

optimum moisture content. A dry-out sequence was then performed by

taking thermal resistivity measurements of each sample at various moisture

contents. The thermal resistivity measurements were taken by again

inserting the TR-1 probe sensor into the center of the re-constituted sample

and running the test with the KD-2 Pro meter. Test results are presented in

Appendix F.
