Geotechnical Engineering Report <br /> Proposed New Storm Water Vault <br /> Northwest M�isubishi <br /> November 18, 2002 <br /> CG Pile No. 139i <br /> Page 3 <br /> SITE CONDITIONS <br /> Surface Conditions <br /> The south�aest comer of the dealership is a "U" shapcd grass-lincd swale used for stortn water <br /> treatmcnt. Therc is a north to south trending 3- to 4-foot-high rockcry on the east sidc of thc <br /> swale,which runs through approximatcly ihe centcr of the planned vault. A sccond north to south <br /> trending 3-foot-high rockery divides thc two halvcs of the "U" shaped swale �nd is locared along <br /> the west side of the planncd vault. <br /> The existing paved parking area is about l2 feet east of the edge of the planned vault excavation. <br /> Thcre arc liglit poles on concrcte column bases on the west side of the parking approximatcly 10 <br /> feet from the planned excavation. Wc do not know the depth of the column foundations. <br /> The existing manhole cover is at roughl�� rlevati�n Cr10.5 fect. Wc uscd this lid to detcrtnine the <br /> relative clevations of our exploratio�s. There is currently a singlc ro��� of 2-Coot-high ecolagy <br /> btocks along the ���cst property linc. <br /> Ezplorafions <br /> Subsurface conditions «cre explored at the site on No��ember 7, 2002, by excavating two test pits. <br /> The test pits were excavated to depths of 9.5 and 7.5 feet bclow the 6Tound surface. 1'he <br /> explorations were locatcd in thc ficld hy an enginecr from this firm who also examined the soils <br /> and geologic conditions encountcrcd, and maintained logs of the test pits. The approximate <br /> locations of the test pits are shown on the Sitc Plan in Figure 2. The soils were visually classifieu <br /> in general accordance with the Unificd Soil Classification System, a copy of which is presenled <br /> as Pigure 3. 'Chc logs of the test pits are presen�ed in Figure 4. <br /> The ground surface at Test Pit I was aLout G39 feet and thc ground surface was about 638 feet <br /> based on the existing manholc cover at 640.5 fcet. <br /> Subsurface Conditions <br /> Thc explorations both encountcred till �vith tracc organics. The fill was 7 feet deep in Test Pit l <br /> (down to about cle��ation G32 feet) and n-as G.5 feet decp in Test Pit 2 (down to aboat elevation <br /> Cornerstone Geotechnical, Inc. �� <br />
