The atratagraphic poaition, soil texture, high <br /> deneity, and typically highly ozidized condition are oonaid- <br /> ered diagnostic of the Salmon Springa age soils. <br /> The accompanying teat pit logs best illuatrate the soils oc- <br /> curring within the areas investigated. However� in aummary� <br /> the entire site appears to be underlain by a sequence of <br /> interbedded, very denae� moderate to weakley cemented, fine <br /> sand, medium to coarse sands and sandy Erravels. Our �udgment <br /> ` regarding atratagraphic occurrance within the lower elevationa <br /> of the slope is based on observed soil outcronpings on ad�a- <br /> cent properties at similar elevationa. The basal soils are <br /> overlain by approximately ten (10) feet of hard, grey� lam- <br /> inated� clayey silts. The silta are exposed in the existing <br /> buil�iing cut and are in a denae stable condition. The upper <br /> eix (6) to eight (8) feet of soil in those areas sampled con- <br /> sista of a aequence of loose� grey-brown to greg, fine sand <br /> to eilt fill with minor clay. The uppermost three (;) feet <br /> of fill is typically rubble laden and includes large sections <br /> of reinforced concrete. <br /> At present, the building area excavation exposes dense, nat- <br /> ural, undiaturbed soils in the south portion and recent fill <br /> soila in the north. <br /> Conditions which would suggest hillside aprings or heavy <br /> ground•,rater seepage along the steep slope were not observed. <br /> However, vegetation which indicates a chronic' moiat or wet <br /> ground condition is common on the slope face. We would there- <br /> fore anticipate some lesaer degree of groundwater activity. <br />
