Roth Quality Homes JN 90016 <br /> January 25 , 1990 Page 2 <br /> The site is currently undeveloped and is covered with tall <br /> gr�ss , blackberry vines , and small deciduous trees . Concrete <br /> debris have been dumped on the site in several locations . The <br /> properties surrounding the site have been developed with <br /> single-family residences . Lot 38 , immediately east of the <br /> site, is currently undeveloped. <br /> SUBSURFACE <br /> The subsurface conditions were explored by three test pits at <br /> the approximate locations shown on the Soils Exploration Plan, <br /> Plate 2 . The field exploration program was based upon the <br /> proposed construction and required design criteria , site <br /> topography and access , subsurface conditions revealed during <br /> . excavation, our proposed scope of work, and time and budget <br /> constraints . • <br /> The test pits were excavated on January 15 , 1990 with a <br /> rubber-tired backhoe owned and operated by Evans Brothers <br /> Excavating. A geotechnical engineer from our staff observed <br /> the excavation process, logged the test pits, and obtained <br /> representative samples of the soils encountered. "Grab" <br /> samples of selected subsurface soils were collected from the <br /> backhoe bucket. The Test Pit Logs are attached to this report <br /> as Plates 3 and 4 . <br /> The test pits encountered loose, silty sand fill and silt <br /> immediately below the surface organics. The fill was <br /> encountered in Test Pit 1 only, and probably resulted from the <br /> earlier construction of Edgemoor Lane. The loose silt was <br /> found to a depth of between three and one-half feet and eight <br /> and one-half feet below the existing �round surface. The <br /> loose silt had a mottled color, contained roots and other <br /> organics , and had a jumbled appearance. These soils are <br /> probably the result of erosion or sloughing of soils from the <br /> slopes above the site, and are referred to as slopewash in <br /> this report. Very stiff to hard, native silt was encountered <br /> below the slopewash soils . <br /> The final logs represent our interpretations of the field logs <br /> and laboratory classifications . The stratification lines on <br /> the loqs represent the approximate boundary between soil <br /> types . In actuality, the transition may be gradual . The <br /> relative densities and moisture descriptions indicated on the <br /> test pit logs are interpretative descriptions based on the <br /> GEOTECH CONSULTANTS , INC. . <br />
