GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY JMD Architecture April 19, 1999 Groundwater F-8689 Page 3 Groundwater was not encountered in any of our borings. As such, we do not anticipate groundwater seepage will result in significant construction related issues. However, the contractor should be made aware that groundwazer is not static. There will be fluc:uations in the level depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the water level is higher and seepage rate is greater in the wetter winter months (typically October through May). Laboratorv Testinq Laboratory tests were conducted on several representative soil samples to verify or modify the field soil classification and to evaluate the general physical properties and engineering characteristics of the soil encoun�ered. Visual fieid classifications were supplemented by grain size analyses on representative soil samples. Moisture content tests were performed on all samples. The results of laboratory tests performed on specific samples are provided either at the appropriate sample depth on the individual boring logs or on a separate data sheet contained in Appendix S. It is important to note that these test results may not accurately represent the overall in-situ soil conditions. Our geotechnical recommend.;rions are based on our interpretation of th�se test results and their use in guiding our enginee� �ng judgment. ECI cannot be responsible for tne interpretation oi` these data by others. �n accordance with our Standard Fee Schedule and General Conditions, the soil samples for this project will be discarded after a period of fifteen days following completion of this report unless we are otherwise directed in writing. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS General Based on the results of our study, it is our opinion the site can be cleveloped generally as planned. Support for the build�ng can be provided using a conventional spread and continuous footing foundation system bearing on the competent native soil or on fill used to modify site grades. Our borings indicate the upper three to five feet of the site soil is loose. In our opinion, the loose soil may be possible fill. Where these soils are encountered at the footing subgrade elevation, they should be compacted in place to the requirement� of structural fill. Slab-on-grade floors may be similarly supported.
