Executive Summary
This Executive Summary should be used in conjunction with the entire Geotechnical
Engineering Report (GER) for design and/or construction purposes. It should be recognized
that specific details were not included or fully developed in this section, and the GER must
be read in its entirety for a comprehensive understanding of the items contained herein.
Section 7.0 should be read for an understanding of limitations.
RGI’s geotechnical scope of work included the advancement of 5 test pits to approximate
depths of 4 to 10 feet below existing site grades.
Based on the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, the site is suitable for
development of the proposed project. The following geotechnical considerations were
identified:
Soil Conditions: The soils encountered during field exploration include loose to medium
dense sand with some silt and silty sand with some gravel over dense to very dense silty
sand with varying amounts of gravel glacial till.
Groundwater: Light to moderate groundwater seepage was encountered at Test Pit TP-1
at a depth of 7.5 feet.
Foundations: Foundations for the proposed residence may be supported on conventional
spread footings bearing on medium dense to dense native soil or structural fill.
Slab-on-grade: Slab-on-grade floors and slabs for the proposed residence can be
supported on medium dense to dense native soil or structural fill.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 1 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
1.0 Introduction
This Geotechnical Engineering Report (GER) presents the results of the geotechnical
engineering services provided for the Chambers-Bagnell Property Development in Renton,
Washington. The purpose of this evaluation is to assess subsurface conditions and provide
geotechnical recommendations for the construction of a 12-lot residential development.
Our scope of services included field explorations, laboratory testing, engineering analyses,
and preparation of this GER.
The recommendations in the following sections of this GER are based upon our current
understanding of the proposed site development as outlined below. If actual features vary
or changes are made, RGI should review them in order to modify our recommendations as
required. In addition, RGI requests to review the site grading plan, final design drawings
and specifications when available to verify that our project understanding is correct and
that our recommendations have been properly interpreted and incorporated into the
project design and construction.
2.0 Project description
The project site is located at 13818 152nd Avenue Southeast & 13929 154th Avenue
Southeast in Renton, Washington. The approximate location of the site is shown on Figure
1.
The site is currently occupied by two single family residences and several outbuildings. RGI
understands that the existing structures will be demolished and a 12-lot residential
development with associated utilities, paved access roads, and stormwater facilities will be
constructed at the site.
At the time of preparing this GER, residence structural plans were not available for our
review. Based on our experience with similar construction, RGI anticipates that the
proposed residences will be supported on perimeter walls with bearing loads of two to six
kips per linear foot, and a series of columns with a maximum load up to 30 kips. Slab-on-
grade floor loading of 150 pounds per square foot (psf) are expected.
3.0 Field Exploration and Laboratory Testing
3.1 FIELD EXPLORATION
On May 18, 2021, RGI observed the excavation of 5 test pits. The approximate exploration
locations are shown on Figure 2.
Field logs of each exploration were prepared by the geologist that continuously observed
during the excavation. These logs included visual classifications of the materials
encountered during excavation as well as our interpretation of the subsurface conditions
Geotechnical Engineering Report 2 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
between samples. The test pit logs included in Appendix A represent an interpretation of
the field logs and include modifications based on laboratory observation and analysis of
the samples.
3.2 LABORATORY TESTING
During the field exploration, a representative portion of each recovered sample was sealed
in containers and transported to our laboratory for further visual and laboratory
examination. Selected samples retrieved from the test pits were tested for moisture
content and grain size analysis to aid in soil classification and provide input for the
recommendations provided in this GER. The results and descriptions of the laboratory tests
are enclosed in Appendix A.
4.0 Site Conditions
4.1 SURFACE
The subject site is comprised of two parcels totaling approximately 4.16 acres in size. The
site is bound to the north, and south by single family residences, to the east by an
undeveloped pasture and 154th Avenue Southeast, and to the west by a single family
residence and 152nd Avenue Southeast.
The existing site is occupied by two single family residences and several outbuildings. The
site slopes generally southwest with a total of approximately 14 feet of elevation change
across the property. The site is vegetated primarily with grass, with small- to large-diameter
decorative shrubs and trees along the property perimeter and around the residences.
4.2 GEOLOGY
Review of the Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle, King Country, Washington (1965),
by Mullineaux, D.R. indicates that the soil through most of the site is mapped as recessional
stratified drift (Qpa), which is sandy and gravelly outwash deposited during glacial
recession. The northeastern portion of the site is mapped as ground moraine deposits (Qgt)
which is a compact mixture of sand, silt, clay, and gravel deposited by glacial ice. The soils
encountered at the site generally match the descriptions for ground moraine deposits
(glacial till), with minor recessional deposits observed in the southern portion of the
property.
4.3 SOILS
The soils encountered during field exploration include loose to medium dense sand with
some silt and silty sand with some gravel over dense to very dense silty sand with varying
amounts of gravel glacial till.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 3 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered are presented in the
test pits included in Appendix A. Sieve analysis was performed on two selected soil samples.
Grain size distribution curves are included in Appendix A.
4.4 GROUNDWATER
Light to moderate groundwater seepage was encountered at Test Pit TP-1 at a depth of 7.5
feet.
It should be recognized that fluctuations of the groundwater table will occur due to
seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, and other factors not evident at the
time the explorations were performed. In addition, perched water can develop within
seams and layers contained in fill soils or higher permeability soils overlying less permeable
soils following periods of heavy or prolonged precipitation. Therefore, groundwater levels
during construction or at other times in the future may be higher or lower than the levels
indicated on the logs. Groundwater level fluctuations should be considered when
developing the design and construction plans for the project.
4.5 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Based on the International Building Code (IBC), RGI recommends the follow seismic
parameters for design.
Table 1 IBC
Parameter 2018 Value
Site Soil Class1 C2
Site Latitude 47.4783
Site Longitude -122.1364
Short Period Spectral Response Acceleration, SS (g) 1.372
1-Second Period Spectral Response Acceleration, S1 (g) 0.469
Adjusted Short Period Spectral Response Acceleration, SMS (g) 1.646
Adjusted 1-Sec Period Spectral Response Acceleration, SM1 (g) 0.703
Numeric seismic design value at 0.2 second; SDS(g) 1.097
Numeric seismic design value at 1.0 second; SD1(g) 0.469
1. Note: In general accordance with Chapter 20 of ASCE 7-16. The Site Class is based on the average characteristics of the upper 100 feet
of the subsurface profile.
2. Note: ASCE 7-16 require a site soil profile determination extending to a depth of 100 feet for seismic site classification. The current
scope of our services does not include the required 100 foot soil profile determination. Test pits extended to a maximum depth of 10
feet, and this seismic site class definition considers that similar soil continues below the maximum depth of the subsurface exploration.
Additional exploration to deeper depths would be required to confirm the conditions below the current depth of exploration.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 4 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
Liquefaction is a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil strength
due to an increase in water pressure induced by vibrations from a seismic event.
Liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent deposits of fine-grained sands that are
below the groundwater table. Soils of this nature derive their strength from intergranular
friction. The generated water pressure or pore pressure essentially separates the soil grains
and eliminates this intergranular friction, thus reducing or eliminating the soil’s strength.
RGI reviewed the results of the field and laboratory testing and assessed the potential for
liquefaction of the site’s soil during an earthquake. Since the site is underlain by glacial till,
RGI considers that the possibility of liquefaction during an earthquake is minimal.
4.6 GEOLOGIC HAZARD AREAS
Regulated geologically hazardous areas include erosion, landslide, earthquake, or other
geological hazards. Based on the definition in the Renton Municipal Code, the site does not
contain geologically hazardous areas.
5.0 Discussion and Recommendations
5.1 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Based on our study, the site is suitable for the proposed construction from a geotechnical
standpoint. Foundations for the proposed residences can be supported on conventional
spread footings bearing on competent native soil or structural fill. Slab-on-grade floors can
be similarly supported.
Detailed recommendations regarding the above issues and other geotechnical design
considerations are provided in the following sections. These recommendations should be
incorporated into the final design drawings and construction specifications.
5.2 EARTHWORK
The earthwork is expected to include grading the site to provide lot and roadway grades.
Installing underground utilities and preparing road and sidewalk subgrades. The residence
construction is expected to include excavating and backfilling the residence foundations
and preparing slab subgrades.
5.2.1 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Potential sources or causes of erosion and sedimentation depend on construction
methods, slope length and gradient, amount of soil exposed and/or disturbed, soil type,
construction sequencing and weather. The impacts on erosion-prone areas can be reduced
by implementing an erosion and sedimentation control plan. The plan should be designed
in accordance with applicable city and/or county standards.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 5 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
RGI recommends the following erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs):
Scheduling site preparation and grading for the drier summer and early fall months
and undertaking activities that expose soil during periods of little or no rainfall
Retaining existing vegetation whenever feasible
Establishing a quarry spall construction entrance
Installing siltation control fencing or anchored straw or coir wattles on the downhill
side of work areas
Covering soil stockpiles with anchored plastic sheeting
Revegetating or mulching exposed soils with a minimum 3-inch thickness of straw
if surfaces will be left undisturbed for more than one day during wet weather or
one week in dry weather
Directing runoff away from exposed soils and slopes
Minimizing the length and steepness of slopes with exposed soils and cover
excavation surfaces with anchored plastic sheeting
Decreasing runoff velocities with check dams, straw bales or coir wattles
Confining sediment to the project site
Inspecting and maintaining erosion and sediment control measures frequently (The
contractor should be aware that inspection and maintenance of erosion control
BMPs is critical toward their satisfactory performance. Repair and/or replacement
of dysfunctional erosion control elements should be anticipated.)
Permanent erosion protection should be provided by reestablishing vegetation using
hydroseeding and/or landscape planting. Until the permanent erosion protection is
established, site monitoring should be performed by qualified personnel to evaluate the
effectiveness of the erosion control measures. Provisions for modifications to the erosion
control system based on monitoring observations should be included in the erosion and
sedimentation control plan.
5.2.2 STRIPPING AND SUBGRADE PREPARATION
Stripping efforts should include removal of pavements, vegetation, organic materials, and
deleterious debris from areas slated for residences, pavement, and utility construction. The
test pits location encountered zero inches of asphalt concrete and zero inches of crushed
rock base. Site did not contain landscape islands. The test pits encountered nine to eleven
inches of topsoil and rootmass. Deeper areas of stripping may be required in heavily
vegetated areas of the site.
Subgrade soils that become disturbed due to elevated moisture conditions should be
overexcavated to reveal firm, non-yielding, non-organic soils and backfilled with
compacted structural fill. In order to maximize utilization of site soils as structural fill, RGI
recommends that the earthwork portion of this project be completed during extended
periods of warm and dry weather if possible. If earthwork is completed during the wet
Geotechnical Engineering Report 6 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
season (typically November through May) it will be necessary to take extra precautionary
measures to protect subgrade soils. Wet season earthwork will require additional
mitigative measures beyond that which would be expected during the drier summer and
fall months.
5.2.3 EXCAVATIONS
All temporary cut slopes associated with the site and utility excavations should be
adequately inclined to prevent sloughing and collapse. The site soils consist of dense to
very dense silty sand with varying amounts of gravel.
Accordingly, for excavations more than 4 feet but less than 20 feet in depth, the temporary
side slopes should be laid back with a minimum slope inclination of 1H:1V
(Horizontal:Vertical). If there is insufficient room to complete the excavations in this
manner, or excavations greater than 20 feet in depth are planned, using temporary shoring
to support the excavations should be considered. For open cuts at the site, RGI
recommends:
No traffic, construction equipment, stockpiles or building supplies are allowed at
the top of cut slopes within a distance of at least five feet from the top of the cut
Exposed soil along the slope is protected from surface erosion using waterproof
tarps and/or plastic sheeting
Construction activities are scheduled so that the length of time the temporary cut
is left open is minimized
Surface water is diverted away from the excavation
The general condition of slopes should be observed periodically by a geotechnical
engineer to confirm adequate stability and erosion control measures
In all cases, however, appropriate inclinations will depend on the actual soil and
groundwater conditions encountered during earthwork. Ultimately, the site contractor
must be responsible for maintaining safe excavation slopes that comply with applicable
OSHA or WISHA guidelines.
5.2.4 STRUCTURAL FILL
RGI recommends fill below the foundation and floor slab, behind retaining walls, and below
pavement and hardscape surfaces be placed in accordance with the following
recommendations for structural fill. The structural fill should be placed after completion of
site preparation procedures as described above.
The suitability of excavated site soils and import soils for compacted structural fill use will
depend on the gradation and moisture content of the soil when it is placed. As the amount
of fines (that portion passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve) increases, soil becomes increasingly
sensitive to small changes in moisture content and adequate compaction becomes more
difficult or impossible to achieve. Soils containing more than about 5 percent fines cannot
Geotechnical Engineering Report 7 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
be consistently compacted to a dense, non-yielding condition when the moisture content
is more than 2 percent above or below optimum. Optimum moisture content is that
moisture that results in the greatest compacted dry density with a specified compactive
effort.
Non-organic site soils are only considered suitable for structural fill provided that their
moisture content is within about two percent of the optimum moisture level as determined
by American Society of Testing and Materials D1557-09 Standard Test Methods for
Laboratory Compaction Characteristics of Soil Using Modified Effort (ASTM D1557).
Excavated site soils may not be suitable for re-use as structural fill depending on the
moisture content and weather conditions at the time of construction. If soils are stockpiled
for future reuse and wet weather is anticipated, the stockpile should be protected with
plastic sheeting that is securely anchored. Even during dry weather, moisture conditioning
(such as, windrowing and drying) of site soils to be reused as structural fill may be required.
The site soils are moisture sensitive and may require moisture conditioning prior to use as
structural fill. If on-site soils are or become unusable, it may become necessary to import
clean, granular soils to complete site work that meet the grading requirements listed in
Table 2 to be used as structural fill.
Table 2 Structural Fill Gradation
U.S. Sieve Size Percent Passing
4 inches 100
No. 4 sieve 22 to 100
No. 200 sieve 0 to 5*
*Based on minus 3/4 inch fraction.
Prior to use, an RGI representative should observe and test all materials imported to the
site for use as structural fill. Structural fill materials should be placed in uniform loose layers
not exceeding 12 inches and compacted as specified in Table 3. The soil’s maximum density
and optimum moisture should be determined by ASTM D1557.

imported fill soils: 90 +3 -2
Placement and compaction of structural fill should be observed by RGI. A representative
number of in-place density tests should be performed as the fill is being placed to confirm
that the recommended level of compaction is achieved.
5.2.5 CUT AND FILL SLOPES
All permanent cut and fill slopes should be graded with a finished inclination no greater
than 2H:1V. Upon completion of construction, the slope face should be trackwalked,
compacted and vegetated, or provided with other physical means to guard against erosion.
All fill placed for slope construction should meet the structural fill requirements as
described this section.
Final grades at the top of the slopes must promote surface drainage away from the slope
crest. Water must not be allowed to flow in an uncontrolled fashion over the slope face. If
it is necessary to direct surface runoff towards the slope, it should be controlled at the top
of the slope, piped in a closed conduit installed on the slope face, and taken to an
appropriate point of discharge beyond the toe of the slope.
5.2.6 WET WEATHER CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
RGI recommends that preparation for site grading and construction include procedures
intended to drain ponded water, control surface water runoff, and to collect shallow
subsurface seepage zones in excavations where encountered. It will not be possible to
successfully compact the subgrade or utilize on-site soils as structural fill if accumulated
water is not drained prior to grading or if drainage is not controlled during construction.
Attempting to grade the site without adequate drainage control measures will reduce the
amount of on-site soil effectively available for use, increase the amount of select import fill
materials required, and ultimately increase the cost of the earthwork phases of the project.
Free water should not be allowed to pond on the subgrade soils. RGI anticipates that the
Geotechnical Engineering Report 9 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
use of berms and shallow drainage ditches, with sumps and pumps in utility trenches, will
be required for surface water control during wet weather and/or wet site conditions.
5.3 FOUNDATIONS
Following site preparation and grading, the proposed residence foundations can be
supported on conventional spread footings bearing on competent native soil or structural
fill. Loose, organic, or other unsuitable soils may be encountered in the proposed residence
footprints. If unsuitable soils are encountered, they should be overexcavated and backfilled
with structural fill. If loose soils are encountered, the soils should be moisture conditioned
and compacted to a firm and unyielding condition.
Perimeter foundations exposed to weather should be at a minimum depth of 18 inches
below final exterior grades. Interior foundations can be constructed at any convenient
depth below the floor slab. Finished grade is defined as the lowest adjacent grade within 5
feet of the foundation for perimeter (or exterior) footings and finished floor level for
interior footings.
Table 4 Foundation Design
Design Parameter Value
Allowable Bearing Capacity 2,000 psf1
Friction Coefficient 0.30
Passive pressure (equivalent fluid pressure) 250 pcf2
Minimum foundation dimensions Columns: 24 inches
Walls: 16 inches
1. psf = pounds per square foot
2. pcf = pounds per cubic foot
The allowable foundation bearing pressures apply to dead loads plus design live load
conditions. For short-term loads, such as wind and seismic, a 1/3 increase in this allowable
capacity may be used. At perimeter locations, RGI recommends not including the upper 12
inches of soil in the computation of passive pressures because they can be affected by
weather or disturbed by future grading activity. The passive pressure value assumes the
foundation will be constructed neat against competent soil or backfilled with structural fill
as described in Section 5.2.4. The recommended base friction and passive resistance value
includes a safety factor of about 1.5.
With spread footing foundations designed in accordance with the recommendations in this
section, maximum total and differential post-construction settlements of 1 inch and 1/2
inch, respectively, should be expected.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 10 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
5.4 RETAINING WALLS
If retaining walls are needed for the residences or detention vaults, RGI recommends cast-
in-place concrete walls be used. The magnitude of earth pressure development on
retaining walls will partly depend on the quality of the wall backfill. RGI recommends
placing and compacting wall backfill as structural fill. Wall drainage will be needed behind
the wall face. A typical retaining wall drainage detail is shown in Figure 3.
With wall backfill placed and compacted as recommended, level backfill and drainage
properly installed, RGI recommends using the values in the following table for design.
Table 5 Retaining Wall Design
Design Parameter Value
Allowable Bearing Capacity 2,000 psf
Active Earth Pressure (unrestrained walls) 35 pcf
At-rest Earth Pressure (restrained walls) 50 pcf
For seismic design, an additional uniform load of 7 times the wall height (H) for
unrestrained walls and 14H in psf for restrained walls should be applied to the wall surface.
Friction at the base of foundations and passive earth pressure will provide resistance to
these lateral loads. Values for these parameters are provided in Section 5.3.
5.5 SLAB-ON-GRADE CONSTRUCTION
Once site preparation has been completed as described in Section 5.2, suitable support for
slab-on-grade construction should be provided. RGI recommends that the concrete slab be
placed on top of medium dense native soil or structural fill. Immediately below the floor
slab, RGI recommends placing a four-inch thick capillary break layer of clean, free-draining
sand or gravel that has less than five percent passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve. This material
will reduce the potential for upward capillary movement of water through the underlying
soil and subsequent wetting of the floor slab. Where moisture by vapor transmission is
undesirable, an 8- to 10-millimeter thick plastic membrane should be placed on a 4-inch
thick layer of clean gravel.
For the anticipated floor slab loading, we estimate post-construction floor settlements of
1/4- to 1/2-inch.
Geotechnical Engineering Report 11 June 14, 2021
Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
5.6 DRAINAGE
5.6.1 SURFACE
Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from the residence
area. Water must not be allowed to pond or collect adjacent to foundations or within the
immediate residence area. For non-pavement locations, RGI recommends providing a
minimum drainage gradient of 3 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet from the
residence perimeter. In paved locations, a minimum gradient of 1 percent should be
provided unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface water
adjacent to the structure.
5.6.2 SUBSURFACE
RGI recommends installing perimeter foundation drains. A typical footing drain detail is
shown on Figure 4. The foundation drains and roof downspouts should be tightlined
separately to an approved discharge facility. Subsurface drains must be laid with a gradient
sufficient to promote positive flow to a controlled point of approved discharge.
5.6.3 INFILTRATION
Vashon-age lodgment till was encountered at depths ranging from approximately 1.5 to 3.5 feet
below existing grade in the test pits completed at the Site. The very dense lodgment till is
considered a “restrictive layer” in stormwater infiltration facility design.
The shallow depth to the lodgment till (restrictive layer) would make any conventional
infiltration facility (infiltration pond, infiltration trench, or infiltration gallery) infeasible due to
lack of the required separation distance between the base of these facilities and a restrictive
layer, typically 5 feet. The shallow depth to the restrictive layer would also make Low Impact
Development rain gardens infeasible due to the absence of sufficient thickness of permeable
soils below grade in which to construct the rain garden, in addition to required separation
distances from the base of a rain garden to a restrictive layer, 3 feet.
5.7 UTILITIES
Utility pipes should be bedded and backfilled in accordance with American Public Works
Association (APWA) specifications. For site utilities located within the right-of-ways,
bedding and backfill should be completed in accordance with City of Renton specifications.
At a minimum, trench backfill should be placed and compacted as structural fill, as
described in Section 5.2.4. Where utilities occur below unimproved areas, the degree of
compaction can be reduced to a minimum of 90 percent of the soil’s maximum density as
determined by the referenced ASTM D1557. The native soils excavated on site should be
suitable for use as backfill material. Imported structural fill meeting the gradation provided
in Table 2 may be necessary for trench backfilling wet weather.

Chambers-Bagnell Property Development, Renton, Washington RGI Project No. 2021-316-1
6.0 Additional Services
RGI is available to provide further geotechnical consultation throughout the design phase
of the project. RGI should review the final design and specifications in order to verify that
earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and
incorporated into project design and construction.
RGI is also available to provide geotechnical engineering and construction monitoring
services during construction. The integrity of the earthwork and construction depends on
proper site preparation and procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may arise in the
field in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent. Construction
monitoring services are not part of this scope of work. If these services are desired, please
let us know and we will prepare a cost proposal.
7.0 Limitations
This GER is the property of RGI, Conner Homes, and its designated agents. Within the limits
of the scope and budget, this GER was prepared in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering practices in the area at the time this GER was issued. This GER is
intended for specific application to the Chambers-Bagnell Property Development project in
Renton, Washington, and for the exclusive use of Conner Homes and its authorized
representatives. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made. Site safety, excavation
support, and dewatering requirements are the responsibility of others.
The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication
any environmental or biological (for example, mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site
or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions. If the
owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination or pollution, we can
provide a proposal for these services.
The analyses and recommendations presented in this GER are based upon data obtained
from the explorations performed on site. Variations in soil conditions can occur, the nature
and extent of which may not become evident until construction. If variations appear
evident, RGI should be requested to reevaluate the recommendations in this GER prior to
proceeding with construction.
It is the client’s responsibility to see that all parties to the project, including the designers,

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
On May 18, 2021, RGI performed field explorations using a mini excavator. We explored
subsurface soil conditions at the site by observing the excavation of five test pits to a
maximum depth of 10 feet below existing grade. The test pit locations are shown on Figure
2. The test pit locations were approximately determined by measurements from existing
property lines and paved roads.
A geologist from our office conducted the field exploration and classified the soil conditions
encountered, maintained a log of each test exploration, obtained representative soil
samples, and observed pertinent site features. All soil samples were visually classified in
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
Representative soil samples obtained from the explorations were placed in closed
containers and taken to our laboratory for further examination and testing. As a part of the
laboratory testing program, the soil samples were classified in our in house laboratory
based on visual observation, texture, plasticity, and the limited laboratory testing described
below.
Moisture Content Determinations
Moisture content determinations were performed in accordance with ASTM D2216-10
Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil
and Rock by Mass (ASTM D2216) on representative samples obtained from the exploration
in order to aid in identification and correlation of soil types. The moisture content of typical
sample was measured and is reported on the test pit logs.
Grain Size Analysis
A grain size analysis indicates the range in diameter of soil particles included in a particular
sample. Grain size analyses was determined using D6913-04(2009) Standard Test Methods
for Particle-Size Distribution (Gradation) of Soils Using Sieve Analysis (ASTM D6913) on
three of the samples.
