The <br />natural slope of the land is slightly to the southwest. Cut and fill activities <br />have modified the property considerably; in particular; a thick wedge of fill <br />covers the southr�est corner of the property. <br />At present we understand the project includes two buildings located as shown on <br />the site map.. The northeast liuilding is a four-story metal frame structure with • <br />a daylight basement requiriny a 4-foot excaVation. The southwest building is a <br />two-story. metal frame. slab-on-grade structure. Discussions with Ron Gregory. <br />from Harmon and Associates� during our exploration, indicate they may wish to <br />change the location of the southwest building, to take advantage of more <br />favorable foundat'ion soils conditions. <br />In the event that any changes in the nature. design. or location of the <br />structures are planned� the conclusions and recommendations contained in this <br />report should be revi-ewed and modified as necessary to reflect those changes. <br />3.0 SUBSURfACE EXPLORATION <br />Field explorations, for this project were completed on 12 April 1985. The <br />subsurface exploration consisted of excavating a total of 14 test pits with a <br />rubber-tired backhoe supplied by James Bakke, Inc. The locations for the test <br />pits as shown in Fiyure 1. were determined by pacing and visual orientation from <br />surroundin9 buildings. Steve Miller from James Bakke. Inc. indicated he would <br />return with a tape <br />measure to locate the test pits more accurately. The test pits ranged in depth •..� <br />from 3.5 to 10.5 feet and facilitated a direct visual �observation of the <br />subsurface soil conditions. Soils eniountered dur•ing the field study were <br />visually classified and logged by an engineering geologist from our office. <br />Observed ground water conditions were also recorded. <br />Interpretive logs of the subsurface materials and conditions encountered in the <br />test pits are presented in Appendix A of this report.
