AMERICAN ENGINEERING TESTING, INC. AET Project No. 22-00012 <br /> 5.0 SITE CONDITIONS <br /> 5.1 Surface Observations <br /> At the time of our field exploration, the site of the proposed development was a relatively flat <br /> parcel. The site was snow covered when we drilled. There was approximately 8 feet of elevation <br /> difference among our 34 borings and the 15 test pits; the topography generally sloped downward <br /> to the south. There was outside storage of building materials and boats at the south end of the <br /> property. <br /> 5.2 Soils <br /> The logs of the borings and test pits are presented in Appendix A. The logs contain information <br /> concerning soil layering, soil classification, geologic description and moisture condition; the <br /> relative density or consistency are also noted, based on the Standard Penetration resistance (N- <br /> value, "blows per foot"). The boring logs only indicate the subsurface conditions at the sampled <br /> locations. Variations often occur between and beyond the borings. <br /> 5.2.1 Borings <br /> In Borings ES-1 through 3, 9, and 10, and Borings EP-1,2, 6, 7 and EP-12 through 15,we found <br /> a surficial topsoil layer consisting of black clay and dark brown to black silty sand and sandy silt, <br /> to depths of 2 feet to 4.5 feet below grade. <br /> In Borings EP-3 through 5 and Boring EP-17, we encountered about 4 to 9 inches of bituminous <br /> pavement. Below the bituminous pavement in these borings, we found fill consisting of a <br /> mixture of brown, dark brown, and black silty sand, clayey sand, and lean clay fill,to depths of 2 <br /> feet to 7 feet below grade. Below the floor slab in Borings EP-19 through 25, which we drilled <br /> inside the existing buildings, we encountered, sand and silty sand fill, to depths of 3.5 feet and <br /> 4.5 feet (i.e., the boring termination depth). In Borings ES-4 through 8, and Borings EP-9 <br /> through 11 and EP-16 through 18, we encountered a surficial layer of fill consisting of a mixture <br /> of brown, gray, and black sandy lean clay, clayey sand, silty sand, and sand, to depths of about 2 <br /> feet to 6 feet below grade. <br /> Page 6 of 28 <br />
