Rim elevation was lat�r found to <br /> be approximately 1014.5. k?levations are shown on bore logs and on the site sketch. Aecuracy <br /> of this should not be taket� as any gneater than the methods used would imply. <br /> FILLb ,����irATION <br /> � The barings were aecomptished in accordance with ASTM U 1452, "Standazd Practice <br /> for Soil Investigation and Sampling by Auger Borings". This prc,cedure is described in the <br /> first attachment at the back of the text portian of this cepart. This attachrnent also describes <br /> the soil classification system used (Unified) and method of groundwater measurement. A <br /> Pmfessional Engineer �xpericnced ir� soils en�ineering personally perfarm�d the borings, <br /> imtnediately classified t»�st recove.�ed soils in the field, and made fi�ld judgments, mainly <br /> relating to strength of soil and depths of borings, as fieldwork procceded. Some soils were <br /> retained and pt�eserved by the Engineer in their natural candition for passible laboratory <br /> testing. <br /> BQRiN� <br /> Attached $re logs for each of the borings together with a key explaining term� and <br /> entries. Also attached is a report of various lab�ratary tests (Atterberg Limits and Maisture <br /> Cont�nt) run on a selected soil sample. Some additianal moisture content tests r�aults aze <br /> reported direc,�tly upon borin�logs.The depth of individual l�yers of soils may vary somewhat <br /> from what is indicated on the logs due to the inexact nature of. auger borings and, mdst <br /> importantly, the occurrence of transitian between sail layers. Alsa be advised that soil and <br /> water conditions not at thc boring locations may vary. <br /> The bc�rings indicate some uncontrolled fill df varyi�ng descriptions at surface level. <br /> While somewhat shallow in depth (2.5'-3.5'), it is universally of poor quraliry (unsaturated, <br /> loose ta firm, with organic soil) and lies over an unsuitable base (organic and peat soils) in <br /> all c�ses. This fill is mostly lean clay(CL)with varying amounts of organic soil (QL). All af <br />
