If significar.' variations are observed at that Gme, we may need to modify <br />our condusions and recommenda4ons to reflect actual conditions. <br />2 ] Soil Boring Procedures <br />Our exploratory boring was advanced utilizing a hollow stem auger (HSA) method to a depth af <br />approximately 16 feet using a truck-mounted driil rig operated by an independent drilling company <br />workingundersubconiracttoAGRAEarth�Envfronmental,lnc.(AGRA). Ageotechnlcalengineer <br />from our firm continuously obsened the boring, Ingged ihe subsuAace condiifons, and collected <br />representative soil samples. All samples were stored in wateAlght containers and later transported <br />toourlaboratoryforfurlhervisual examinatlon and testlng, as deemed necessary. Afterthe boring <br />was completed, the borehole was backfillad with a mixture of bentonite chips and soil wttings. <br />Throughout the drilling operation, soil samples were obtained at 2'�- to 5-foot depth intervals by <br />means of the Standard Penetrd6on Test (SPl) per ASlM:O-1586. This testing and sampling <br />procedure conststs of driving a standard 2-inch-0lameter steei spiit-spoon sampler 18 inches into <br />the soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling 30 fnches. The number of blows requlred to drive <br />the sampler through each 6-inch interval is counted, and the total number of bbws strudc during <br />the final 12 inches Is recorded as the Standard Penetration Resistance, o� "SPT blow counk' If a <br />total of 50 blows is struck within any 6-fnch interval, the driving is stopped and the blow count ls <br />recorded as 50 blows for ihe actual penetratlon distance. 'Fhe resulting Standarcf Penetration <br />Resistance values indicate fhe reladve density of granuiar soils and the relative consistency of <br />cohes(ve soils. <br />The enclosed Boring Log descrihes the verdcal sequence of soils and materials encountered in <br />each boring, based primarily bn our field classificatlons and supported by our subsequent <br />laboratory axamfnadon and testfng. Where a sal contact was observed to be gradational, �ur log <br />indicates the average contad depth, Where a soil type changed between sample intervals, we <br />inferred the contact depfh. Our log also graphically indicates the blow count, sample type, sample <br />number, and approxlmate depth of each soil sample•obtained from fhe borings, as wep es any <br />laboratory tests performed on these soil samples. It any groundwater was encountered in a <br />borehole, the approximate groundwater depth is depicted on the boring tog. Groundwater depth <br />estlmetes are typically based on the mo(sture content of soil samples, the wetted height on fhe <br />drilling rods, and the water level measured in the borehole after the auper has been extraded. <br />3.0 SITE CONDI110NS <br />The foilowing sections of text preseni our observatlons, measurements, flndings, and <br />interpretations regarding surtace, soil, groundwater, and teismic conditlons at the project site. <br />Interprelive logs of our subsuAace expbratlons and graph(c resutts of our laboratory tests are <br />enclosed with thfs report. <br />s�wonuvnocroo na.a��se,m.�,�000�o�x� nw�r�n.w [,.w Mu..pa <br />SI/9 �: �211MC� MN FlUitl3 V�tl� RdOS�Z � 66-9I-8 �A9 JAC�S <br />
