SITE OBSERVATIONS <br />The site has an existing building and parking lot which will be removed in order to construct <br />a new public works building. <br />BORING LOCATIONS AND ELEVATION <br />The number of borings and their locations were determined by the Client and SPC <br />Engineering & Testing, Inc., as shown on the enclosed Site Drawing. Elevations were taken from <br />an assumed benchmark. Refer to the Site Drawing attached to this report for a sketch of the boring <br />locations. <br />FIELD INVESTIGATION <br />The borings were accomplished using the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) method of <br />investigation using a Split - Barrel Sampler (SBS). An attachment describes the soil classification <br />system used (Unified). <br />SOIL BORING RESULTS <br />Refer to the individual boring logs for a detailed description of soils and moisture conditions <br />encountered. Attached to the soil boring logs is a key explaining terms and entries. The depth of <br />individual layers of soils may vary somewhat from those indicated on the logs due to unsampled <br />intervals between split - barrel sampler tests and, most importantly, the occurrence of transition <br />between soil layers. Also, soil profiles not in the vicinity of the borings may vary. Refusal to auger <br />advancement was not encountered at the boring locations indicating no gravel, cobbles, boulders or <br />bedrock to depths tested. <br />Groundwater was encountered in the bore holes, as indicated in the soil boring logs. The <br />water level checks were performed at the completion of the boring and at varying times after the <br />boring. The recordings are depicted in the boring logs. Groundwater levels may occur and vary <br />according to various climatological and meteorological influences undetermined within the tie frame, <br />scope and budget allowed in this investigation. In addition, area development patterns can influence <br />groundwater. The indicated groundwater results are for conditions at the time of testing only. <br />CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The following conclusions and recommendations are based upon interpreted results of boring <br />logs, their relation to the planned work, and other information. Because the borings represent a small <br />portion of the site in relation to the proposed area of work, ongoing review of construction should <br />be carried out. If excavations reveal subsurface soils of a different nature than those observed in the <br />boring, the Geotechnical Engineer should be contracted for possibly revised recommendations (see <br />the following sections below; 4. Inspections and Testing and 7. Limitations of Investigation). <br />9 <br />
