38 June 16, 2015 Steve Williams Landmark Consultants 780 N. 4 th Street El Centro, California SUBJECT: DIXIELAND SOLAR EAST - THERMAL RESISTIVITY DATA SUMMARY REPORT RFYeager Engineering Project No.: Dear Steve, On June 16, 2015, RFYeager Engineering conducted laboratory thermal resistivity testing on one soil sample for the Dixieland Solar East project. The cylindrical sample, as prepared by Landmark, had a dimension of 2½ inch (diameter) by 6 inch (length). The sample is identified as LE15070 EC The thermal resistivity was determined using a Decagon KD2 Pro Portable Thermal Properties Analyzer (KD2 Pro) outfitted with the 100 mm long, 2.4 mm diameter TR-1 sensor. Testing was conducted in general accordance with the standard method ASTM D which calculates thermal resistivity by monitoring the dissipation of heat from a line heat source. The test consists of inserting a thermal sensor into the soil sample with a known current and voltage applied. The thermal resistivity is obtained from an analysis of the time series temperature data during the heating and cooling cycle of the sensor. The corresponding temperature rise in the soil over a period of time is recorded The soil thermal resistivity is provided in Table 1 below. The corresponding Time vs. Temperature graph for the sample is provided in Appendix A. For the purposes of this report, the thermal resistivity value is provided as data only in order to assist others in the project design Winter Gardens, Suite D-151 or PO Box Lakeside, CA Ph: Fx: RGeving@RFYeager.com
