,� _ <br /> Sierra Construction Services, Inc. JN 92276 <br /> July 1 , 1992 Page 3 <br /> The nine test borings encou�tered generally similar subsurface <br /> conditions. Typically, the borings revealed loose, silty sand <br /> fill or topsoil overlyi�g stiff to very stiff , native, clayey <br /> silts . Dense to very dense, silty sands were found to <br /> underlie the clayey silts. These sands contained relatively <br /> small emounts of gravel . The dense conditions of the native <br /> ' silts and the underlying silty sands indicates that theY were <br /> consolidated under the weight of past gleciers . Mottling of <br /> the silts implies that these soils have been weathered <br /> ' somewhat since they were originally deposited. <br /> Most of the explorations encountered 1 to 2 .5 feet of loose <br /> filt and topsoil immediately below the existing pavement or <br /> ground surface. Borings 4 , 7, and 10 encountered fill up Lo 7 <br /> feet in thickness , with the deepest fili revealed in eoring 7. <br /> This exploration was conducted in the area of fill that had <br /> previously been deposited on the site by Burlington Northern. <br /> The stiff to very stiff , native silts typically extended to a <br /> depth of 6 to 10 feet, before transitioning to the dense to <br /> , very dense sands . eorings 5 and 7 encountered the silt to <br /> . depths of 4 feet and 12 feet, respectivelY. No silt was <br /> encountered above t.he very dense sand in eoring 10. <br /> � The finel logs represent our interpretations of the field logs <br /> and laboratory tests . The stratification lines on the logs <br /> represent the approximate boundary between soil types at the <br /> exploration locetions . The actual transition between soil <br /> types mey be �radual and subsurface conditions may vary <br /> between exploration locations . If a transition in soil type <br /> occurred between samples in the borings , the depth of the <br /> trensition was interpreted. The relative densities and <br /> moisture descriptions indiceted on the test boring logs are <br /> interpretive descriptions based on the conditions observed <br /> , during drilling . The logs should be reviewed for specific <br /> subsurface informetion at the locations tested. <br /> GROUNDWATER <br /> Groundwater seepage was not observed in our explorations . 7he <br /> borings were left open only for a short time period, <br /> therefore, the lack of seepage levels on the logs does not <br /> necessarily indicate that �roundwater will not be encountered <br /> in the building excavations . It should be noted that <br /> groundwater levels cen vary seasonally with rainfall and other <br /> factors . we anticipate that some perched groundwater may be <br /> found between the loose, near-surface soils and the underlying , <br /> silt in wet weather . <br />, GEOTECH CONSULTANTS , INC. <br />
