Laboratory tests <br /> included in-situ moisture content, grain size distribution, Atterberg Limits, and direct shear <br /> testing. The tests were conducted in general accordance with appropriate American Society of <br /> Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The test results and a discussion of laboratory test <br /> methodology are presented in Appendix B or displayed on the exploration logs in Appendix A as <br /> appropriate. <br /> 2.4 EXISTING SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND EXPLORATIONS BY OTHERS <br /> HWA reviewed all readily available geotechnical information for the project site. This included <br /> a review of HWA's project library and a review of geotechnical reports completed by others in <br /> support of previous proposed developments at the site. <br /> HWA reviewed the existing draft geotechnical report for the Project Evergreen development <br /> (HWA, 2017). This report was generated in support of the Project Evergreens due diligence <br /> study. In this effort, HWA drilled 35 geotechnical borings designated BH-1 through BH-35, <br /> within the approximate northern 1/3rd of the landfill site. These borings were drilled to depths <br /> ranging from 40 to 141.5 feet below ground surface to characterize the subsurface conditions <br /> across the site. The approximate locations of these borings are indicated on Figure 2 and their <br /> logs areprovided in Appendix C. It should be noted that each of the borings were drilled <br /> g pp subjectg <br /> prior to placement of fill in the summer of 2018. Therefore, the ground surface contact shown in <br /> ' these borings are no longer valid. <br /> HWA also reviewed the existing geotechnical report from GeoEngineers(GeoEngineers, 2008). <br /> ' This report was generated in support of a previously planned development of the site. In this <br /> effort, GeoEngineers performed a series of 47 machine drilled borings across the landfill site in <br /> 2007. These borings were drilled to depths ranging from 35 to 110 feet below ground surface to <br /> Geotechnical Report Revision 3 26 2019.doc 3 HWA GEOSCIENCES INC. <br />
