� <br />GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUUY <br />Taco Bell Corporation <br />April 29, 1993 <br />Groundwater <br />� <br />E-6140 <br />Page 3 <br />Groundwater was observed at Test Pits TP-1, TP-2, TP-3, and TP-4 at depths ranging from <br />�wo to eleven feet below the existing ground surface. Due ta the granular nature of the <br />s:�bsurface soiis encountered, one may expect fluctuations in the level and volume of <br />groundwater seepage depending on the season, amount of rainfail, surface water runoff and <br />other factors (rypically October thro�gh May). <br />�iz� � , � : � . <br />Laboratory tests were conducted on several reprosentative soil samples to verify or modify <br />the field soil classification of the units encountered and to evaluate the general physical <br />properties and engineering characteristics of the soils encountered. Visual classifications were <br />supplemented by index tests, such as Sieve Analysis ard Attorberg Limits on representative <br />samples. Additionally, moisture content tests were also performed on representative samples. <br />The results of laboratory tests perfcrmed on specific samples are provided either at the <br />appropriate sample depth on the individual Test Pit log or on a separate data sheet cantained <br />in Appendix B. However, it is impartant to note that these test results may not accurately <br />represent the overall in-situ soil conditions; our geotechnical recommendations are based on <br />our interpretation of these test results. <br />In accordance with Taco Bell Corporation requirements, the soil samples for this praject will <br />be discarded after a period of sixty (60) days foilowing completion of this report, unless we <br />are otherwise directed in wriYing. <br />� •� :►� ; • �_►.G1�� <br />Based on the results of our study, it is our opinian that the site can be developed generaliy <br />as planned provided tha geotechnical recommendations contained in this report are <br />incorporated into the final design. The proposed building and trash enclosure can be <br />supparted on conventional shallow spread footings b�aring on competent native soils, or on <br />newly placed ;tructural �II depending on final site grades and the locations of the proposed <br />structures. <br />Earth Consultants, Inc. <br />
