APPENDIX <br />Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions were evaluated by drilling six geotechnical hollow -stem auger <br />borings (B-6 through B-11). The borings were completed to depths of about 30 to 301/4 feet below existing <br />slab elevation. The borings were completed by Advance Drill Technologies, Inc. on May 9 through 11, 2022. <br />The approximate locations of the explorations are shown in the Site Plan, Figure 2. <br />The borings were completed using track -mounted, continuous -flight, hollow -stem auger drilling equipment. <br />The borings were continuously monitored by a geotechnical engineer from our firm who examined and <br />classified the soils encountered, obtained representative soil samples, observed groundwater conditions <br />and prepared a detailed log of each exploration. <br />The soils encountered in the borings were generally sampled at 21/2- and 5-foot vertical intervals with a <br />2-inch outside -diameter split -barrel standard penetration test (SPT) sampler. The disturbed samples were <br />obtained by driving the sampler 18 inches into the soil with a 140-pound automatic hammer free -falling <br />30 inches. The number of blows required for each 6 inches of penetration was recorded. The blow count <br />("N-value") of the soil was calculated as the number of blows required forthe final 12 inches of penetration. <br />This resistance, or N-value, provides a measure of the relative density of granular soils and the relative <br />consistency of cohesive soils. Where very dense soil conditions precluded driving the full 18 inches, the <br />penetration resistance for the partial penetration was entered on the logs. The blow counts are shown on <br />the boring logs at the respective sample depths. <br />Soils encountered in the borings were visually classified in general accordance with the classification <br />system described in Figure A-1. A key to the boring log symbols is also presented in Figure A-1. The logs of <br />the borings are presented in Figures A-2 through A-7. The boring logs are based on our interpretation of the <br />field and laboratory data and indicate the various types of soils and groundwater conditions encountered. <br />The logs also indicate the depths at which these soils or their characteristics change, although the change <br />may actually be gradual. If the change occurred between samples, it was interpreted. The densities noted <br />in the boring logs are based on the blow count data obtained in the borings and judgment based on the <br />conditions encountered. <br />Observations of groundwater conditions were made during drilling. The groundwater conditions <br />encountered during drilling are presented in the boring logs. Groundwater conditions observed during <br />drilling represent a short-term condition and may or may not be representative of the long-term groundwater <br />conditions at the site. Groundwater conditions observed during drilling should be considered approximate. <br />GEt}Et GINEER` June 1 S, 2022 Page A-1 <br />File No-0120-294-€?2 <br />
