i <br /> d Subsurface Ezpformion and <br /> + Silvcr Lake h1c1!Bnrtef!Drug Smre Ceotecl�nicnl Engineering Repart <br /> Everert, Nashington Project and Site Conditions <br /> � based on the Yield logs, drilling action, and inspection of the samples secured. In addition to <br /> the two recent borings complered by Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. (AESI), the logs for five <br /> � monitoring well borings completed by Landau Associates (Landau) in 20C2 are included in the <br /> Appendix and were reviewed for this report. <br /> � Disturbed but representative samples �vere obtained by using the Standard Pcne[ration Test <br /> (SPT) procedure in accordance .vith American Sociery for Testing and Materials (ASTM):D <br /> I 1586. This test and sampling method consisrs of driving a standard 2-inch outside-diameter, <br /> split-barrel �ampler a distance of 18 inches into the soil with a 140-pound hammer free-falling <br /> a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows for each 6-inch �nterval is recorded and the <br /> � number of blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches is hnown as the Star.dard <br /> Penelration Resistance ("N") or blow count. IY' a total of 50 is recorded �vithin one 6-inch <br /> interval, the bluw count is recordcd as the number of biows for die corresponding number of <br /> � inches of penetration. The resistance, or N-value, provides a measure of the relative densiry of <br /> granul�r soiis or the relative consistency of cohesive soils; these values are plo[ted on the <br /> attached boring logs. <br /> � The :;amples obtained from the split-barrel sampler were dassified in the field and <br /> � representative portions placed in watertiglu cuntainers. The samples were then transported to <br /> our laboratory for further visual classification and laboratory testing, as necessary. <br /> � 3.2 Exploration Pits <br /> Gxploration pits were excavated witli a tractor-mounted backhoe. Tlie pits pennitted direct, <br /> � visual observation of subsurPace conditions. Materials encountered in the exploration pits wcre <br /> studied and classitied in d�e lield by an engineering geologist frum our firm. All exploration <br /> oits were backtilled immediately after examination and logging. <br /> i <br /> 4.0 SUBSURI=ACG CONDII'IONS <br /> �` Subsurface conditions at the project site were inferred frum the 6eld exploratio�s accomplished <br /> � for d�is study, visual reconnaissance of tlie site, and review of applicable geologic literamre. <br /> As shown on the tield logs, the explorations ;enerally encountered loose or soft fill and peat <br /> overlying natural deposits o[ very dense, silty, gravelly sand. In die south-central portion of <br /> � the site, thc loose sandy fill overlaid dense crushed rock fill. The following section presents <br /> more detailed subsurface infonnation organized from the shallowest (youngest) to the deepest <br /> (oldest) sediment typ�s. <br /> � <br /> � � ASSOCI�lTED LARTH SC/EA'CES, ItJC. <br /> December�Q _OOd �� <br /> � �.vs.i,t.nvoresf,iz r.,,,�«,�:aia,:vne•e�ur Page 3 '� <br />
