APPENDIX A <br />FIELD EXPLORATION <br />Subsurface conditions at the site of the Converting Plant Addition were explored by drilling 3 <br />�' boring�. The approximate locations of the borings, relative to the proposed facility and the <br />� existing site features are shown on Figure 2. The exploration locations were measured in the <br />5eld from existing site features. Boring elevations, with respect to the dock floor elevation of <br />' the adjacent Finishing and Shipping building, were obtained by means of hand-level <br />measurements. <br />' Borings were drilled with truck-mounted, hollow-stem auger equipment on December 21 and 22, <br />� 1994. The borings were drilled to depths ranging from approximately 49 to 88 feet beneath <br />cunent site grades. Logs of the borings are presented on Figures A-1 through A-3. The soils <br />encountered were classified in accordancz with the Unified Soil Classification System which is <br />outlined on Figa;e A-4. The drill±ng program was coordinated by an engineering technician who <br />, monitored the drilling activity, obtained saniples of the soils encountered, classiiied the �uils by <br />visual and textural examination, and ma.ntained a ccntinuous log of the subsurface conditions. <br />,, Relatively undisturbed samples of the subsurface soils were obtained at approximately 5-fool <br />i intervals in the boi•ings using the Dames & Moore U-Type sampler. The U-type sampler was <br />driven into the soil with a 300-pound hammer falling a distance of approximately 30 inches. <br />The number of blows required to drive the sampler a distance uf 1 foot, or as othenvise <br />�. . indicated, is shown unmediately adjacent to the sample notation on the boring logs. <br />!
