APPENDIX A FIELD EXPLORATION AND LA30RATORY TESTING IEXPLORATION PROGRAM Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions wcre explorcd by completing [wo borings and five CPTs at the site utilizing exploration rigs subcontracted to GcoEngineers. Thc borings were drilled using mud rotary equipment o�med and operated by Boart Longyear Drilling. The exploration locations were field loca[ed by taping and pacing from existing landmarks and should be considered approximate. The explorations were continuously monitored by an engineering geologist from our firm who examined and classiticd the soils encountered, obtained representativc soil samples, observed groundwater I conditions, and prepared a detailed log of each exploration. Soils were visually classified in general accordance with ASTM D 2488-90, �chich is described in Figure A-I. An explanation of our boring log symbols is also provided in Figure A-1. � The samples were obtained using a 2-inch outside diameter split-barrel standard penetration test (SPT) sampler. The samples were obtained by driving the sampler 18 inches into the soil ��ith a 140-pound automatic hammer free-falling 30 inches. The number of blows required ro drivc the sampler thc last 1 Z inches or other indicated distances are recorded on the boring logs. � A truck mountcd rig owned and operated by Northwest Cone Exploration was used to advance the CPTs. I In this test, a small-diameter steel tip with adjacent sleeve was wntinuously advanced with hydraulically-operated equipment. Measurements of tip and sleeve resistance allow interpretation of the soil profile and the consistency of the strata penetrated. I Thc logs of the borings and CPTs are presented in Pigures A-2 through A-8. The exploration logs arc based on our interpretation of the ficld and laboratory data and indicate the various types of soils encountered. They also indicate the dcpths at which thcse soils or thcir characteristics change; although the changc might actually be gradual. LABORATORY TESTING All soil samples were brought ro our laboratory for further esamination. Sclected samples ��ere tested to dcterniine their moisture cantent, dry dcnsity, gradation, and consolidation charactcristics. The rcsults of the moisture content and dry density tests are presented on the boring logs. The results of percent tines tcsts are also presented on the logs. The results of a one-dimensional consolidation rest is presentcd on Fieure A-9. 171e A�o. 11GS?-001-00 Pagl'A-I GEOENGINEER� h'nrcrnhar R. ;006
