The approximate locations of the test pits are <br /> shown on Plate 2 - Site and Exploration Location Plan. The test pits were located with either a <br /> tape measure or by visual reference to existing topographic features in the field and on the <br /> topographic survey map, and their locations should be considered only accurate to the measuring <br /> method used. <br /> A geotechnical engineer from our office was present during subsurface exploration, who <br /> examined the soil and geologic conditions encountered and completed logs of test pits. Soil <br /> samples obtained from each soil unit in the test pits were visually classified in general <br /> accordance with United Soil Classification System, ,a copy of which is presented on Plate 3. <br /> Detailed descriptions of soils encountered during site exploration axe presented in test pit logs on <br /> Plates 4 through 7. <br /> A layer of loose organic topsoil,from 10 to 21 inches thick, was encountered by most of the test <br /> pits, except Test Pits 2,3 and 6 excavated in the backyard in which a layer of fill from about 1.3 <br /> to 9.0 feet thick was encountered. This layer of fill is consisted of gravelly,silty,fine to medium <br /> sand with occasional cobble. This layer of fill is medium-dense to dense,obviously bad received <br /> some degreeof compaction effort. The fill,however, was underlain by a discontinuous layer of <br /> relic topsoil, about 12 inches thick, with occasional to abundant roots, indicating the topsoil had <br /> not been completely strippedprior to the fillplacement. Underlying the fl1/relic topsoil is a layer <br /> P y PPe y� P <br /> of weathered soils of medium-dense,brown to light-brown, silty fine sand with a trace of gravel, <br /> about 1.4 to 2.5 feet thick. In Test Pits 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 in the eastern portion of the to-be- <br /> developed area, this layer of weathered soils is underlain by a fresh till deposit of light-gray, <br /> very-dense,gravelly, silty, fine sand with occasional cobble. In Test Pits 3 and 4 in the western <br /> Iportion of the to-be-developed area, the layer of weathered soils is underlain by a fresh advance <br /> outwash soils of gray,medium-dense to dense, gravelly,fine to coarse sand. <br /> I <br /> 1 LEIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
