� <br /> I <br /> � <br /> I APPENDIX A <br /> � FIELD EXPLORATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTItJG <br /> jFIELD EXPLORATIONS <br /> N'e evaluated subsurface soil and ground water conditions within the planned JanSport huildinp <br /> ( b�� ad��ancing cieht borings using a track-moumcd drill rig on March �G. 2001. Tlie approxima�c <br /> locations of the explorations arc sho��ni on the Site Plan. Figurc?. The espinration locations wcrc <br /> estima�ed from e�isting site featurcs using thc site tnpographic map prcparcd hy Reid Middlclon <br /> ' and Associates,Inc.that was provided to us by Sierta Construction. <br /> The borings w•erc drilled to depths ranging Gom 1 I'/: to 26'/s feet below the ground surfacc <br /> f usine hallow-stetn auger drilling techniqucs. Relatively undisturbcd samplcs wcrc obtained from <br /> the borings using a 2.4-inch inside-dia�neler split-barrel sampler driven inro thc soil with n 300- <br /> pound Bammer free-falling 30 inches. The 300-pound hammer on this drill rig was operated using <br /> 1 an automatic hammer. 71�c number of blows required ro drive the sampler the last 12 inches, or <br /> other indicatcd distance,is recorded on the boring logs. <br /> � The field e�plorations were continuously monitored by a rcprcsentative from our finn who <br /> examined and classified the soils encountered, obtained reprcsemative soil samplcs, and obscrved <br /> ground water conditions, if encountered. Soils wcre classified in general accordance with the <br /> f classification system described in Figurc A-I. A key to the boring log symbols is presented in <br /> Fieure A-2. The logs of thc borings are presented in Figurcs A-3 through A-10. The logs are based <br /> on our interpretation of the field and laborarory data and indicate the various ripes of soils <br /> ' encountered. 'They also indicate the depths at which these soils or their characleristics change, <br /> although the change might actually be gradual. If the change occurrcd between satnples in thc <br /> ' borin¢s, the depth of the change was interpre!�d. 'i�a lield log for boring B-1 that was drilled in <br /> 1998 near the southeast corner of ttie JanSport building is shown in Figure A-11. <br /> The borings were backfilled pursuant to the procedures of Washington Departmen[of Ecology. <br /> � LABORATORY TESTING <br /> General <br /> � Soil samp�cs obtained from the exploratiors were transportcd ro our laboratoq�and examined to <br /> confirm or modify field classifications, as �vell as to evaluate engineering propenies of the soil. <br /> � Representative samples were selected for laboratory testing that consisted of moismre content and <br /> densiry detertninations, as well as one consolidation test. The tesis were perfortned in general <br /> accordance with test methods of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or other <br /> � applicable procedures. <br /> Visual Classifications <br /> IAll soil samples obtained from the explorations were visually classified in the field and/or in <br /> our laboratory using a system based on the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and ASTM <br /> I � <br /> I G c o E n g i n c c r s !�-� FileNo. 758q-002.pp.��30\050101 ' "' <br />
