GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY <br /> Mr. Arthur Skotdal <br /> , c/o Dykeman Architects E-6225 <br /> July 27, 1993 Page 3 <br /> _. Groundwater <br /> No groundwater seepage was observed while drilling. Therefore, we do not anticipate <br /> _ groundwater levels wiil have a significant sffect on the proposed excavation. Dewatering <br /> should not be necessary before beginning the excavation. However, permanent post- <br /> construction groundwater control measures should be provided by providing drainage <br /> � behind all foundation watis. <br /> In addition, it should be noted that groundwater conditions are not static; thus, one may <br /> -� expect fluctuations in the level and flow depending on the season, amount of rainfall, <br /> � surface water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the water level and flow rate is <br /> highest in the wetter winter months (typically October through May). <br /> -� <br /> � Laboratorv Testina <br /> "i laboratory tests were conducted on several representative soil samples to verify or modify <br /> � the field soii classification of the units encountered and to evaluate the general physical <br /> properties and engineering characteristics of the soii encountered. Field visual <br /> � classifications of the encountered soiis were supplemented by grain size analyses on <br /> � representative samples. Moisture content tests were performed on all samples. The <br /> � results of laboratory tests performed on specific samples are provided either at the <br /> I appropriate sample depth on the individual borinfl logs or on a separate data sheet <br /> contained in Appen�iix B. It is important to note that these test results may not accurately <br /> � represent the overall in-situ soil conditions. Our geotechnical recommendations are based <br /> on our interpretation of these test results and their use in guiding our engineering <br /> judgement. ECI cannot be responsible for the interpretation of these data by others. <br /> IIn accordance with our Standard Fee Schedule and General Conditions, the soil samples <br /> for this project will be discarded after a period of fifteen days following completion of this <br /> Ireport unless we are otherwise directed in writing. <br /> � <br /> I <br /> j �i <br /> ( Eorth Consultants, Inc. <br /> r <br />
