Coordinates were obtained with a handheld GPS unit (estimated horizontal <br /> accuracy of about ±20 feet) and approximate elevations were obtained from Google Earth <br /> imagery. If elevations and a more precise boring layout are desired, we recommend boring <br /> locations be surveyed. <br /> Soil Boring Procedure: We advanced the borings with a truck-mounted rotary drill rig using <br /> continuous-flight hollow-stem augers. Four samples were obtained in the upper 10 feet of each <br /> boring and at intervals of 5 feet thereafter. Split-barrel sampling procedure were used for all <br /> sampling. This sampling method uses a standard 2-inch outer diameter sampler driven into the <br /> ground by a 140-pound automatic hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows <br /> required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of a normal 18-inch penetration is <br /> recorded as the Standard Penetration Test(SPT) resistance value. The SPT resistance values, also <br /> referred to as N-values, are indicated on the boring logs at the test depths. Per Washington State <br /> regulations,all borings were backfilled with granular bentonite after their completion. The sampling <br /> depths, penetration distances, and other sampling information was recorded on the field boring logs. <br /> The samples were placed in appropriate containers and taken to our soil laboratory for testing and <br /> classification by a Geotechnical Engineer. Our exploration team prepared field boring logs as part <br /> of the drilling operations. These field logs included visual classifications of the materials <br /> encountered during drilling and our interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. <br /> Final boring logs were prepared from the field logs. The final boring logs represent the <br /> Geotechnical Engineer's interpretation of the field logs and include modifications based on <br /> observations and tests of the samples in our laboratory. <br /> Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable DTLD AMNANDTESTMPROCEDLR S 1 of <br />
