APPENDIX A <br />E-5813 <br />Our field exploration was performed on June 26, 1992. Subsurface conditions at the site were explored <br />by excavating five test pits to a maximum depth of twelve fat below the existing grade. The test pits <br />were excavated by Sons Creels using a rubber -tired backhoe. During test pit exploration, the consistency <br />of the soil was primarily estimated based on the effort required to excavate the soil and the stability of <br />the trench walls. <br />Approximate test pit locations were determined by 'pacing' from property comers and existing buildings. <br />Approximate test pit elevations were determined by interpolation from topograptic contours as provided <br />by the client. The locations and elevations of the test pits should be considend accurate only to the <br />degree implied by the method used. These approximate locations are shown on Ile Test Pit Location and <br />Site Plan, Plate 2. <br />The field exploration was continuously monitored by an individual from our firm who cl"fied the soils <br />encountered and maintained a log of each tut pit, obtained representative samples, measured groundwater <br />levels, and observed pertinent site features. <br />All samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System which is <br />presented or Plate Al, Legend. Logs of the test pits are presented in the Alrpendix on Plates A2 <br />throatthmatDIA The lineal logs represent our interpretations of the field logs and the retults of the laboratory <br />tests on frele samples. The stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between <br />` soil types. In actuality, the transitions may be more gradual. <br />Representative soil samples were placed in closed containers and returned to our laboratory for further <br />examination and testing. <br />Earth ConSuIrAnls.
