APPENDIX A <br /> FIELD EXPLORATIONS <br /> Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions were explored by drilling four borings (B-1-19 through <br /> B-4-19) on June 7, 2019 to depths ranging from 251h to 311/2 feet. The borings were completed using <br /> truck-mounted, continuous-flight, hollow-stem auger drilling equipment owned and operated by Holocene <br /> Drilling, Inc. under subcontract to GeoEngineers. The boring locations were determined in the field by <br /> measuring from existing site features.The approximate boring locations are shown on Figure 2. <br /> The borings were continuously monitored by a geologist from our firm who reviewed and classified the <br /> soils encountered, obtained representative soil samples, observed groundwater conditions and prepared <br /> 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 inches of penetration was recorded. The blow count <br /> ("N-value") of the soil was calculated as the number of blows required for the final 12 inches of <br /> penetration. This resistance, or N value, provides a measure of the relative density of granular soils and <br /> the relative consistency of cohesive soils.,Where very dense soil''conditions precluded driving the full <br /> 18 inches,the penetration resistance for the partial penetration was entered on the logs.The blow counts <br /> are shown on 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-5. The boring logs are based on our interpretation of <br /> the field and laboratory data and indicate the various types of soils and groundwater conditions <br /> encountered. The logs also indicate the:depths at which these soils or their characteristics change, <br /> although the change may actually be gradual. If the change occurred between samples, it was <br /> interpreted. The densities noted on the boring logs are based on the blow count data obtained in the <br /> borings and judgment based on the conditions encountered. <br /> Observations of, groundwater conditions were made during drilling. The groundwater conditions <br /> encountered during drilling are presented on 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 <br /> groundwater conditions at the site. Groundwater conditions observed during drilling should be considered <br /> approximate. <br /> GEOENGINEERS 1uly22,2019 PageA-1 <br /> File No.5836-011-00 <br />
