APPENDIX A W-3103-1 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION The field exploration program conducted for this study consisted of advancing a series of seven test pits. The approximate exploration locations are illustrated � on the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 1. The locations were obtained in the field by hand-held tape measurements and pacing made relative to the proposed building outline at the site provided by the client. Test Pit Excavations The test pits were excavated with a rubber-tired backhoe on 3 April 1980, by a local excavating contractor under subcontract to our firm. The test pits were observed and logged by an engineering geologist from our firm. Disturbed but representative samples of the soils in the test pits were retrieved, classified in the field and transported in plastic bags to our laboratory for detailed evaluation and classification. The test pit logs are presented in this appendix and are based on the inspection of the sanples secured and the field logs. The relative soil densities indicated on the test pit logs are interpretative descriptions based on the conditions observed during the excavation.
