l APPENDIX A �_ � FIELD EXPLORATION Our explorations were performed on August 24. 1999. The subsurface conditions at the site were explored by drilling ten borings to a maximum depth of thirteen (13) feet below the existing ground surface. The Borings were drilled by Associated Drilling. The approximate boring locations were determined by pacing from existing on site landmarks. The locations of the borings uhould be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. These aporoximate locations are shown on the Boring Location Plan, Plate 2. The field exploration was continuously rt:onitored by a engineer from our firm who classified the soils encountered, maintained a log of each boring, obtained representative samples, measured groundwater levels, and observed pertinent site features. Samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System which is presented on Plate A1, Legend. Representative soil samples were placed in closed containers and returned to our laboratory for further examination and testing. Logs of the borings are presented on Plates A2 through A11. The final logs repressnt our interpretations of the field logs and the results of the laboratory examination and tests of tield samples. The stratif�cation lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types. In actuality, the transitions may be more gradual. The borings were drilled using hollow stem augers. In each boring, Standard Penetration Tests (SPT! were perfnrmed at selected intervals in general accordance with ASTM Test Designatien D-1586. The split spoon samples were driven with a one hundred forty (1401 pound hammer freely falling thirty (30) inches. The number of blows required to dri•de the last twelve (12) inches of penetration are called the "N-value". This value helps to characterize the site soils and is used in our engineering analyses.
