Seahorse Restaurant W-5583 <br /> 18 March 1988 Page 3 <br />` � <br /> changes in the nature and design of this project, the conclusiuns and <br /> I , . recommendations cantained in this report should be reviewed and modified, as <br /> necessary, to reflect those changes. <br /> Subsurface Exploration <br /> The subsurface exploration program for this project consisted of advancing twelve <br /> test pits at the approximate locations shown on the Site and Exploration Plan, <br /> Figure 1. Test pit locations were dictated primarily by proposed building • <br /> locations, existing trees and structures. Test pits were advanced with a rubber- <br /> tired Case Backhoe under subcontract to our firm. Test pits ranged in depth from 4 <br /> to 7 feet. The test pit excavations were continuously observed and logged in the <br /> field by a geotechnical engineer from our firm. The test pit locations shown on <br /> the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 1, were obtained by hand-taping and pacing <br /> from existing fences, structures and features indicated on the site plan that was <br /> provided us prior to our field investigation. The locations shown should be <br /> considered accurate to the degree implied by the method used. <br /> The exploration logs enclosed with this letter are based on interpretations made <br /> in the field. The logs indicate the various of types of soils and materials <br /> encountered in the test pits. The relative densities of the soils indicated on <br /> the logs are interpretive descriptions based on the excavation characteristics, <br /> evaluation of the excavated soils and the stability of the trench side walls. The <br /> logs also indicate the depth where the strata or the characteristics of the strata <br /> changed, although changes �ndicated may be gradual . The natura and extent of the <br /> variations between test pits may not become evident until construction. If <br /> variations then appear evident, it may be necessary to re-evaluate the I <br /> recorrmendatians of this report. <br /> Subsurface Canditions � <br /> The near-siirface geolegy of the project vicinity is characterized by exposures of <br /> overconsolidated silty sands with variable amounts of gravel from past glacial � <br />
