IVnShfn,�ton Prolect and Site Cortditions <br /> I4.1 Strati�raphy <br /> Fill <br /> Fil] soils (those not naturally placed) were encountered in 17 of the 19 explorations completed <br /> � at the site. The fill ranged in diicl:ness from approximately 1 to 5.5 feet. As noted on the <br /> exploration logs, the fili consisted of two types: I) sand, and 2) crushed rock. The sand filt <br /> I typically consisted of loose to medium dense, moist, brown, silty sand with scattered peat and <br /> medium dense, moist, gray, gravelly sand. The sand fill covere�l the surface of the site and <br /> was approximatcly 1.5 to 4 fec[ thick. <br /> � The crusl�ed rock fill was located towrrd [hc south-centrai �ortion of the site (Figure 3) and <br /> cunsisted of 2- to d-inch-diameter crusi�ed rock that direcdy overlaid native glacial till. The � <br /> ; crushed rock fill varied from about 1.5 to 2.5 feet thick where encountered. <br /> � <br /> The shallow sand fill is generally loose, and not suitable tbr support of foundations or parhing <br /> � a:eas or sfabs unless it is removed and recompacted in accordance widi the recommendations <br /> presented in Section 6.0 of this report. The crushed rock fill is firm and unyielding and is <br /> suitable for support of foundations, slabs, or parking areas if prepared according to the <br /> � recotrunendations presented in Section 6.0 of this report. <br /> � Pertr <br /> Pcat �vas encounte;ed below d�e fill iu explorations EL'-Z, EP-1 through EP-5, and EP-9 <br /> � throagh GP-I 1. 1'he peat extended beyond the no:th end of the site and to a depth of about 8 <br /> feet below existing site grade and typically cunsisted of soft, moist, dark brown peat with some <br /> organic silt. The peat likely represents a past time when Silver Lake or wedands surrounding <br /> � Silver Lake extended into this area. This material is not suitable for support of structures or <br /> pavements. <br /> � G/ncia!

This material was overrun by several �iousand feet of ice durine the last glacial <br /> � advance that resulted in a compact soil possessir.g hi��h strength, low compressibility, and low <br /> permeability charac[eristics.
