Intracorp <br />'September 21, 1998 <br />. .,: <br />E-3592-720 <br />Pape 3 <br />No groundwater snepage was observed at any of our test pit locations, but the observed aoils <br />typicaliy became moist to wet at approximately four to five fee.*. below existiny yrade. In <br />addition, slight mottling and localized areas of iron oxide staining w�re observed. Based on <br />proposed finished grades and upon observed site conditions wQ do not anticipate groundwater <br />seepage will be encountered in site excavations. However, the contractor should be aware <br />that groundwater levels are not static. Groundwater levels can be expected to fluctuate <br />significantly depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface water runoff, and other <br />factors. Generally, the groundwater level is higher in the wetter winter months (typically <br />October through May). The contractor should be prepared to control groundwater if seepage <br />is encountered in site excavations <br />:..:.. m <br />Laboratory tests were conducted on several representative soil samples to verify or modify <br />the field soil classification and to evaivate the general physical properties and engineering <br />characteristics of the soil encountered. Visual classifications were supplemented by grain size <br />analyses an representative samples. Moisture content tests were performed on all samples. <br />The results of laboratory tests performed on specific samples are provided either at the <br />appropriate sample depth on the indi✓idual test pit logs or on a separate data sheet contained <br />in Appendix B. It is important to note that these test resuits may not accurately represent the <br />overall in-situ soil conditions. Our geotechnical recommendations are based on our <br />interpretation of these test results and their use in guiding our engineering judgement. ECI <br />cannot be responsible for the interpretation of these data by others. <br />In accordance with our Standard Fee Schedule and General Conditions, the soil samples for <br />this project will be discarded after a period of fifteen days following completion of this report, <br />unless we are otherwise directed in writing. <br />. •. �,� ' •uu ��_ •. <br />General <br />Based on the results of our study, it is our apinion the proposed buiidings can be constructed <br />generally as planned. Building support can be provided us�ng conventionai spread and <br />continuous footing foundation systems bearing on competent native soil, or on structural fill <br />used to modify site grades. Slab-on-grade floors may be similarly supported. <br />This report has been prepared for specific application to this project only and in a manner <br />consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of our <br />profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area for the exclusive use of <br />Intracorp, and their representatives.
