Based on our knowledge of the site and a review of previous geotechnical information, we <br />understand that the existing fill soils were obtained from original site grading and subsequent <br />construction activities. The majority of the fill material is a silty Send till soil with some gravel <br />and a mixture of logs, branches, wood fragments, organic soils and construction debris. The fill <br />is random in nature and was placed without compaction except for a narrow zone along the <br />southern portion of the expansion area. The presence of relatively small voids and occasional <br />cobbles and boulders have been reported during previous investigations and construction <br />activities. <br />At the time of this investigation, the ground surface of the expansion area was relatively flat. <br />Grades varied from elevation about 545 at the South and to about 535 at the north end. The site <br />is presently covered with asphalt pavement and used at a parking area. Perimeter Road passes the <br />north out corner of the site. We understand that underground Sanitary and storm sewer lines exist <br />near the eastern boundary and underground tanks and lines exist at the southwest portion of the <br />site. <br />4.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS <br />The subsurface conditions are depicted by 4 Soil profiles shown on Plates 3 to 6. In general, <br />the subsurface conditions consist of a loose to dense random fill underlain by very dense glacial <br />till and/or outwash. The thickness of the fill ranged from approximately 15 to 50 feet at the <br />� <br />South and and 20 to 115 at the north end of the proposed expansion arse. The fill thickness <br />generally increases in a northerly direction. The pattern seems to conform to the prodevelopment <br />contours (see Plate 2) that contain two northerly ravines. <br />The fill is a mixture of Send and silt with varying amounts of gravel, cobbles, boulders and <br />pockets of organic Soils, wood and construction debris. Loose soils an found in pockets rather <br />than layers and are generally encountered in the middle portion of the fill. Organic rich Soils <br />were encountered in Borings B-2, B-3, B-4 and B-9 at various depths. Similar to the loose soils, <br />the organic rich Soils are also found in sporadic pockets. The organic rich soil is typically a <br />4-005.00695.01ASSOW700.ew <br />006".509.016 4 <br />
