I <br /> 1 <br /> I <br /> APPENDIX A <br /> FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING <br /> Intermec Site <br /> Everett,Washington <br /> On July 24 and 25, 2008,we investigated subsurface conditions at the site by excavating 14 test pits to maximum <br /> depths of approximately 15 feet below existing surface grade using a track-mounted excavator. On July 29 we <br /> observed the drilling of 2 test borings to a maximum depth of 31.5 feet below existing site grades. The borings <br /> were drilled using a track-mounted drill rig and advanced with hollow-stem auger. The test pit and boring <br /> ' locations are shown on Figure 2. The test pit and boring locations were approximately determined by <br /> measurements from existing site features. The Test Pit and Boring Logs are presented on Figures A-2 through A- <br /> 17. <br /> A geotechnical engineer from our office conducted the field explorations, classified the soils encountered, <br /> maintained a log of each test pit and boring, obtained representative soil samples, and observed pertinent site <br /> features. Representative soil samples obtained from the test pits were placed in closed containers and taken to <br /> our laboratory for further examination and testing. <br /> ' Test boring soil samples were obtained in general accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials <br /> (ASTM) Test Designation D-1586. Using this procedure, a two-inch (outside diameter) split barrel sampler was <br /> driven into the ground 18 inches using a 140-pound hammer free falling a height of 30 inches. The number of <br /> ' blows required to drive the sampler 12 inches after an initial 6-inch set is referred to as the Standard Penetration <br /> Resistance value or N value. This is an index related to the consistency of cohesive soils and relative density of <br /> cohesionless materials. N values obtained for each sampling interval are recorded on the Boring Logs. <br /> All soil samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) <br /> described on Figure A-1. The moisture content of each sample was measured and is reported on their perspective <br /> Test Pit and Test Boring Logs. Grain size analyses were performed on six of the samples. The results are shown <br /> on Figures A-18 and A-19. <br /> 1 <br /> I <br /> I <br /> Project No.T-6241 <br />
