APPENDIX A <br />FIELD EXPLORATION <br />E-8493-6 <br />Our field expioration was performed on April 25, 2002. Subsurface conditions at the site <br />were explored by drilling two borings to a maximum exploration depth of twenty-one and <br />one-half 121.5) feet below existing grade. The borings for this study were drilled by <br />Grepory Drilling using a CME 45C, limitod access drill rig. <br />Approximate boring locations were estimated by pacing irom site features depicted on <br />the site plan provided by the c�ient. The elevaiions were estimated relative to one <br />another with an assumed base elevation of 100 feet. The locations and elevations of the <br />borings should be considered accuratn r,�ly to tha degree implied by the method used. <br />These approximate locations are shown on the Boring Location Plan, Plate 2. <br />The field exploretion was continuously monitored by a geologist from our firm who <br />classified the soils encountered, maintained a log of each bori�g, obtained representative <br />samples, measureA proundwater levels, and observed pertinent site features. The <br />samples wero visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System <br />that is presented on Plate A1, Legend. Representative soil samples were collected and <br />retumed to our laboratory lor funher exemination and testinp. <br />Lops ol the borings are presenled on Plates A2 throuph A5. The final logs represent our <br />interpretations o( the lield lops and the results ol the laboratory examination and tosts o1 <br />tield samples. The stratHication lines on tho lops represent tho ap�roximete boundaries <br />between soil types. In actual�ry, the transitions may be more pradual. <br />Thr, borinps wore drilled usinp hollow stem aupers. In eAch borinp, Standard Panetration <br />Tesis (SPT) ware performed nt salected intervals in peneral accordance with ASTM Test <br />Desiqnation D-1588. The splil spoon sam��les wero drive� with a ono hundred lorty <br />(1401 pound hammer (reely (allinp thirty 130) inches. The number o1 blows required to <br />�1riv�; the last twelvo (12) inches of penetration are called tho "N•valuo". This value heips <br />to characterize Ihe site soils and is used in our enpineerinp analyses.
