This test and sampling meihod consists of driving a standud, 2-inch, <br /> split-barrel sampler a distance of 18 inches ini� the soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling <br /> ia distance of 30 inches. The number of blows for each 6-inch interval is recorded, and the <br /> number of blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches is know� as tt+e Siandatd <br /> I Penetration Resistance ("N") or blow count. If a total of 50 is recorded within one 6-inch <br /> interval, the blow count is recorded as the numbar of blows for the corresponding uumber of <br /> inches of penetration. The resistance, or N-value, provides a measure of the relative densiry of <br /> � granulaz soils or the relative consistency of cohesive soils; ti�ese values are plotted on the <br /> I attached exploration boring logs. <br /> The samples obtain� from the split-burel sampler were classified in the field and <br /> representative portions placed in watertight containers. The sampl�as uecessaz transported to <br /> our laboratory for further visual classification and laboratory testing, Y� <br /> 4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS <br /> S�bsurface conditions at the project site were inferred from the field expiorations accomplished <br /> for this study, visual reconnaissance of t6e site, and review of applicable geologic literature. <br /> As shown on the boring logs, the extp�l IIr hoc��e�r o gloose t med um dense fill�.

The fill <br /> � generally consisted of aggregate base underlying pa�etnent sections or gravelly silry sand used <br /> to achieve grades when the site was originally graded. The fill ranged in thicicness from <br /> 4 inches to 5 feet. As noted on the exploration logs, the fill consisted of loose to medium <br /> dease, moist, brown, silry sand or aggtegate base �ourse below pavemen: sections. These <br /> materials appeaz ro vary in both qualiry and depch acrass the site. Since the qualitY, thi°I�ess, <br /> and compaction of the fill materials is low or vaziable, the fill is unsuitab(e for d'uect support <br /> of foundatioas or new pavement sections without remedial densification. <br /> ASSOCU7ED EA�1N SCIEN�E$ lNC. <br /> Iwie ]1, 2008 Page 3 <br /> �' ��M-EE080113A5-ProJeAs11�0�71i3�� <br />
