Mr. Newman:
Soilogic, Inc. (Soilogic) personnel have completed the geotechnical subsurface
exploration you requested for the proposed Landmark Apartments expansion to be
constructed southwest of the intersection of West Prospect Road and South Shields Street
in Fort Collins, Colorado. The results of our subsurface exploration and pertinent
geotechnical engineering recommendations are included with this report.
In summary, the subsurface materials encountered in the completed site borings consisted
of a thin layer of vegetation and topsoil underlain by dark brown to brown/beige/rust lean
clay with varying amounts of silt and sand. The lean clay varied from medium stiff to
hard in terms of consistency and typically exhibited no to low swell potential at current
moisture and density conditions, however samples of near-surface lean clay obtained
from borings B-10, B-11 and B-14 at a depth of approximately 2 feet below ground
surface exhibited moderate swell potential. The near-surface lean clay soils at similar
depth also exhibited swell potential approaching a moderate classification at the location
of boring B-5. The lean clay extended to the full depths explored (5 to 15 feet below
ground surface) in borings B-1, B-2, B-8, B-9 and B-11 through B-14 or to depths
ranging from approximately 5½ to 14½ feet below ground surface at the remaining
boring locations. At the locations of borings B-3, B-4, B-5 and B-10, the lean clay was
underlain by reddish brown/rust sand with silt and gravel. The sand and gravel was
medium dense in terms of relative density, would be expected to be non-expansive or
possess low swell potential based on the material’s physical properties and engineering

characteristics and extended to the bottom boring B-10 at a depth of approximately 10
feet below present site grades, or to depths between 10½ to 14 feet below grade at the
locations of borings B-3 through B-5. Gray/olive/brown/rust interbedded claystone/
siltstone/sandstone bedrock was encountered underlying the lean clay and/or sand with
silt and gravel at the locations of boring B-3 through B-7. The bedrock varied from
weathered to very hard in terms of relative hardness and would be expected to possess
low to moderate swell potential, although we believe it is located at sufficient depth so as
to not significantly affect the planned at-grade construction.
Groundwater was encountered in 7 of the 14 completed site borings at depths ranging
from approximately 5½ to 11½ feet below ground surface when checked immediately
after completion of drilling. When checked about three (3) days after completion of
drilling, groundwater was measured at depths ranging from approximately 5½ to 11 feet
below ground surface in eight (8) of the site borings.
Based on the materials encountered in the completed site borings and results of
laboratory testing, it is our opinion the proposed lightly-loaded multi-family residential
structures could be supported by continuous spread footing and isolated pad foundations
bearing on natural, undisturbed site soils with low swell potential.
Most of the site soils appear to be suitable for direct support of residence floor slabs, site
pavements and exterior flatwork. However, samples of the near-surface lean clay
obtained from borings B-5, B-7, B-10 through B-12 and B-14 at a depth of approximately
2 feet below ground surface exhibited near moderate to moderate swell potential at in-situ
moisture and density conditions. Careful observation of all exposed foundation bearing
and floor slab subgrade materials should be completed at the time of construction to
ensure all footing foundations and floor slabs will be supported on like materials with
suitable strength and low volume change potential. If/where extensive zones of
expansive, very soft/disturbed or otherwise unsuitable soils are encountered underlying
proposed improvements at that time, extending foundations through these soils to bear on
low swelling underlying soils and/or overexcavation/backfill procedures may be required
prior to foundation, floor slab and/or pavement construction.

The site lean clay appears suitable for use as overexcavation/backfill and as LVC fill to
develop the site. If/where overexcavation/backfill procedures are necessary to reduce
pavement heave, and depending on the in-place moisture content of the pavement
subgrade soils immediately prior to surfacing, stabilization of the pavement subgrades
may be necessary to develop a suitable paving platform. Recommendations concerning
utility installation and pavement section design options are included with this report.
Other opinions and recommendations concerning design criteria and construction details
for the proposed site improvements are also included.

INTRODUCTION
This report contains the results of the completed geotechnical subsurface exploration for
the proposed Landmark Apartments expansion to be constructed in Fort Collins,
Colorado. The purpose of our exploration was to describe the subsurface conditions
encountered in the completed site borings and develop the test data necessary to provide
recommendations concerning design and construction of the multi-family residential
building foundations and support of floor slabs, exterior flatwork and site pavements.
Pavement section design options for the interior site drive and parking areas are also
included. The conclusions and recommendations outlined in this report are based on
results of the completed field and laboratory testing and our experience with subsurface
conditions in this area.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
We understand this project involves the construction of six (6) apartment buildings as
part of an expansion to the existing Landmark Apartment complex located southeast of
the intersection of West Prospect Road and South Shields Street in Fort Collins,
Colorado. The apartment buildings are expected to consist of 2 and 3-story wood-frame
structures constructed as slab-on-grade. Foundation loads for the structures are expected
to be relatively light, with continuous wall loads less than 4 kips per lineal foot and
individual column loads less than 100 kips. Paved drive and parking areas are anticipated
adjacent to the buildings as part of the proposed site improvements. Small grade changes
are anticipated to develop finish site grades in the building and pavement areas.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The development property is identified as the Young’s Creek development and includes
an approximate 3.75-acre parcel located southeast of the intersection of West Prospect
Road and South Shields Street in Fort Collins, Colorado The site is generally bounded by
single and multi-family residential development to the north, east and west. The subject
property and area south of the subject property were observed to be undeveloped at the
time of our site exploration. The ground surface contained a moderate growth of native
grasses and weeds and the property was observed to be relatively level, with a gentle
overall downward slope to the south/southeast. The maximum difference in ground
surface elevation across the parcel was estimated to be on the order of 15 to 20 feet based
upon review of available USGS topographic maps of the area. Young’s Creek, a lower-
lying drainage swale was observed bisecting the development property near the
southwest corner of the site. Free water was observed in this drainage swale at the time
of drilling. Evidence of prior building construction was not observed on the development
site by Soilogic personnel at the time of our site exploration.
SITE EXPLORATION
Field Exploration
To develop subsurface information for the proposed development, a total of fourteen (14)
soil borings were completed across the site. Seven (7) borings were drilled within the
proposed multi-family residential structures to a depth of approximately 15 feet below
present site grades. Seven (7) additional borings were drilled in proposed site drive and
parking areas to depths between approximately 5 and 10 feet below present site grades.
The boring locations were established in the field by Soilogic personnel based on the
provided site base plan, using a mechanical surveyor’s wheel and estimating angles from
identifiable site references. A diagram indicating the approximate boring locations is
included with this report. Graphic logs of each of the auger borings are also included.

The test holes were advanced using 4-inch diameter continuous-flight auger, powered by
a truck-mounted CME-55 drill rig. Samples of the subsurface materials were obtained at
regular intervals using California barrel sampling procedures in general accordance with
ASTM specification D-1586. As part of the D-1586 sampling procedure, standard
sampling barrel is driven into the substrata using a 140-pound hammer falling a distance
of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampler a distance of 12
inches is recorded and helpful in estimating the consistency, relative density or hardness
of the soils/bedrock encountered. In the California barrel sampling procedure, lesser
disturbed samples are obtained in removable brass liners. Samples of the subsurface
materials obtained in the field were sealed and returned to the laboratory for further
evaluation, classification and testing.
Laboratory Testing
The samples collected were tested in the laboratory to measure natural moisture content
and were visually and/or manually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS). The USCS group symbols are indicated on the attached
boring logs. An outline of the USCS classification system is included with this report.
Classification of bedrock was completed through visual and tactual observation of
disturbed samples. Other bedrock types could be revealed through petrographic analysis.
As part of the laboratory testing, a calibrated hand penetrometer (CHP) was used to
estimate the unconfined compressive strength of essentially cohesive specimens. The
CHP also provides a more reliable estimate of soil/bedrock consistency than tactual
observation alone. Dry density, Atterberg limits, -200 wash and swell/consolidation tests
were completed on selected samples to help establish specific soil/bedrock
characteristics. Atterberg limits tests are used to determine soil/bedrock plasticity. The
percent passing the #200 size sieve (-200 wash) test is used to determine the percentage
of fine grained materials (clay and silt) in a sample. Swell/consolidation tests are
performed to evaluate soil/bedrock volume change potential with variation in moisture
content. The results of the completed laboratory tests are outlined on the attached boring
logs and swell/consolidation test summaries. Water-soluble sulfate concentration tests
were completed on two (2) selected soil samples to help evaluate corrosive soil

characteristics with respect to buried concrete and results of these tests are discussed
subsequently in this report.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface materials encountered in the completed site borings can be summarized as
follows. Approximately 4 to 6 inches of vegetation and topsoil was encountered at
ground surface at the boring locations. The vegetative soil layer was underlain by dark
brown to brown/beige/rust lean clay with varying amounts of silt and sand. The lean clay
varied from medium stiff to hard in terms of consistency and typically exhibited no to
low swell potential at current moisture and density conditions, however samples of near-
surface lean clay obtained from borings B-10, B-11 and B-14 at a depth of approximately
2 feet below ground surface exhibited moderate swell potential. The near-surface lean
clay soils at similar depth also exhibited swell potential approaching a moderate
classification at the location of boring B-5. The lean clay extended to the full depths
explored (5 to 15 feet below ground surface) in borings B-1, B-2, B-8, B-9 and B-11
through B-14 or to depths ranging from approximately 5½ to 14½ feet below ground
surface at the remaining boring locations. At the locations of borings B-3, B-4, B-5 and
B-10, the lean clay was underlain by reddish brown/rust sand with silt and gravel. The
sand and gravel was medium dense in terms of relative density, would be expected to be
non-expansive or possess low swell potential based on the material’s physical properties
and engineering characteristics and extended to the bottom boring B-10 at a depth of
approximately 10 feet below present site grade, or to depths between 10½ to 14 feet
below grade at the locations of borings B-3 through B-5. Gray/olive/brown/rust
interbedded claystone/siltstone/sandstone bedrock was encountered underlying the lean
clay and/or sand with silt and gravel at depths between approximately 10½ to 14 feet
below grade at the locations of boring B-3 through B-7. The bedrock varied from
weathered to very hard in terms of relative hardness and would be expected to possess
low to moderate swell potential, although we believe it is located at sufficient depth so as
to not significantly affect the planned at-grade construction.

The stratigraphy indicated on the included boring logs represents the approximate
location of changes in soil types. Actual changes may be more gradual than those
indicated.
Groundwater was encountered in 7 of the 14 completed site borings at depths ranging
from approximately 5½ to 11½ feet below ground surface when checked immediately
after completion of drilling. When checked about three (3) days after completion of
drilling, groundwater was measured at depths ranging from approximately 5½ to 11 feet
below ground surface in eight (8) of the site borings.
Groundwater levels will vary seasonally and over time based on weather conditions, site
development, irrigation practices and other hydrologic conditions. Perched and/or
trapped groundwater conditions may also be encountered at times throughout the year.
Perched water is commonly encountered in soils overlying less permeable soil layers
and/or bedrock. Trapped water is commonly encountered within more permeable zones
of layered soil and bedrock systems. The location and amount of perched and/or trapped
water can also vary over time.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
Groundwater was measured in the borings completed in the vicinity of Young’s Creek
(borings B-3 through B-6) at depths between approximately 5½ and 6½ feet below
ground surface when checked 3 days after the completion of drilling. As a precaution,
we typically recommend foundation bearing levels be established a minimum of two (2)
feet above observed groundwater in order to account for some seasonal fluctuation in the
level of groundwater and to reduce the potential for soft/disturbed ground stabilization
measures. This will result in maximum foundation bearing depths of approximately 3½
to 4½ feet below present site grade in Buildings B through E. Fill placement procedures
could be considered in these areas to provide for greater separation distances between
footing foundations and current groundwater levels, further reducing the risks associated
with building in areas of comparatively shallow groundwater.

The site soils would be expected to be soft near current groundwater levels and would be
easily disturbed by the construction activities. Care should be taken at the time of
construction to avoid disturbing the foundation bearing soils and the need for corrective
action. To reduce the potential for disturbing of the foundation bearing soils and the
requirement for corrective work, we suggest excavations be completed remotely with a
track-hoe.
Samples of lean clay obtained at a depth of approximately 2 feet below ground surface at
the locations of borings B-10, B-11 and B-14 exhibited moderate swell potential at in-situ
moisture and density conditions. The near-surface lean clay soils at similar depth also
exhibited swell potential approaching a moderate classification at the location of boring
B-5. Careful observation of the exposed foundation bearing materials should be
completed for each of the residential structures at the time of construction to ensure all
footing foundations will be supported on materials with suitable strength and low swell
potential at least 2 feet above groundwater level. If extensive zones of moderately
expansive near-surface lean clay soils are encountered at that time, extending footings
through these soils to bear on low swelling underlying lean clay and overexcavation/
backfill procedures below floor slabs would be required. Overexcavation/backfill or
other approved stabilization procedures may be required prior to foundation construction
if soft/disturbed subgrades are encountered. The depth and extent of moderately
expansive near-surface and/or soft/disturbed lean clay can best be established at the time
of construction through foundation excavation and/or test pit observation. It would be
possible to recondition the moderately expansive near-surface lean clay at the time of
overlot grading, precluding the need for overexcavation/backfill procedures on a case-by-
case basis when more limited site access and construction constraints would be
anticipated.
Site Development
All existing vegetation and topsoil should be completely removed from proposed
building, exterior flatwork and pavement areas. In addition, we recommend all
moderately expansive near-surface lean clays be removed to low swelling lean clay levels
in the building areas or to a minimum depth of two (2) feet below finish subgrade

elevation in exterior flatwork and pavement areas. After stripping and completing all
cuts and overexcavation (if/where necessary) and prior to placement of any new fill,
flatwork concrete or site pavements, we recommend the exposed subgrade soils be
scarified to a depth of 9 inches, adjusted in moisture content and compacted to at least
95% of the materials standard Proctor maximum dry density. The moisture content of the
scarified soils should be adjusted to be within the range of -1 to +3% of standard Proctor
optimum moisture content at the time of compaction.
Fill and overexcavation/backfill soils required to develop the site should consist of
approved low volume change (LVC) soils free from organic matter, debris and other
objectionable materials. Based on results of the completed laboratory testing, it is our
opinion the site lean clay could be used as fill to develop the site. If required, import
soils should consist of approved LVC soils free from organic matter and debris and
should have a maximum liquid limit of 40 and maximum plasticity index of 18. Suitable
fill and backfill soils should be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted
in moisture content and compacted as recommended for the scarified soils above.
Existing slopes steeper than 5:1 (H:V) should be continuously benched during fill
placement in order to reduce the potential for development of a shear plane between the
natural site soils and placed fill.
Care should be taken to avoid disturbing reconditioned subgrades and site fill soils prior
to placement of any overlying improvements. Soils which are allowed to dry out or
become wet and softened or disturbed by the construction activities should be removed
and replaced or reworked in place prior to concrete placement and/or paving.
Foundations
Based on the materials encountered in the completed site borings and results of
laboratory testing, it is our opinion the proposed lightly-loaded multi-family residential
structures could be supported by continuous spread footing and isolated pad foundations
bearing on natural, undisturbed lean clay with no to low swell potential. If
overexcavation/backfill procedures are not performed within the building envelopes to
remove any expansive near-surface lean clay as part of overlot grading procedures,

extending footing foundations through moderately expansive near-surface lean clay to
bear on low swelling clay at greater depth may be required at some locations on this site.
For design of footing foundations bearing on natural, undisturbed, medium stiff to hard
lean clay with low swell potential, we recommend using a maximum net allowable soil
bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. As a precaution, we recommend footing foundations be
designed to maintain a minimum dead-load pressure of 500 psf (or as high as practical)
on the supporting soils.
Exterior footings should bear a minimum of 30 inches below finished adjacent exterior
grade to provide frost protection. We recommend formed strip footings have a minimum
width of 12 inches and isolated pad foundations have a minimum width of 24 inches in
order to facilitate construction and reduce the potential for development of eccentrically
loaded footings. Actual footing widths should be designed by a structural engineer.
For design of footing foundations and foundation walls to resist lateral movement, a
passive equivalent fluid pressure value of 250 pcf could be used. The top 30 inches of
subgrade could be considered a surcharge load but should not be used in the passive
resistance calculations. A coefficient of friction of 0.35 could be used between
foundation and floor slab concrete and the bearing soils to resist sliding. The
recommended passive equivalent fluid pressure value and coefficient of friction do not
include a factor of safety.
Backfill placed adjacent to foundation walls should consist of approved LVC and
relatively impervious soils free from organic matter, debris and other objectionable
materials. The site lean clay could be used as backfill in these areas. Foundation wall
backfill soils should be placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick, adjusted in
moisture and compacted as previously outlined in the “Site Development” section of this
report.
We estimate settlement of footing foundations designed and constructed as outlined
above and resulting from the assumed structural loads would be on the order of 1 inch or
less. Differential settlement could approach the amount of total settlement estimated

above. If water from any source is allowed to infiltrate the foundation bearing soils,
additional movement of the foundations could occur.
Floor Slabs
The building and any other at-grade floor slabs could be supported on reconditioned
natural site soils with low swell potential and/or properly placed and compacted fill and
overexcavation/backfill (if required) soils developed as outlined in the “Site
Development” section of this report. If limited areas of moderately expansive near-
surface lean clays are identified in floor slab areas at time of foundation excavation
observation, supplemental overexcavation/backfill procedures may be required prior to
placement of any new fill or floor slab concrete. A modulus of subgrade reaction (k)
value of 150 pci could be used for design of floor slabs supported on the site lean clay or
similar soils.
Care should be taken to maintain the proper moisture content in all floor slab subgrade
soils prior to concrete placement. The developed floor slab subgrade soils should not be
left exposed for extended periods of time. In the event that the subgrade soils are allowed
to dry out or if rain, snowmelt or water from any source is allowed to infiltrate those
materials, reworking of the subgrade soils or removal/ replacement procedures may be
required.
Floor slabs should designed and constructed as floating slabs, separated from foundation
walls, columns and plumbing and mechanical penetrations by the use of block outs or
appropriate isolation material. Additionally, we recommend all partition walls supported
above slabs-on-grade be constructed as floating walls to help reduce the potential for
differential slab-to-foundation movement causing distress in upper sections of the
structures. A minimum one and one-half (1½) inch void space is recommended beneath
all floating walls. Special attention to door and stair framing, drywall installation and
trim carpentry should be taken to isolate those elements from the floor slabs, allowing for
some differential floor slab-to-foundation movement to occur without transmitting
stresses to the overlying structures.

Depending on the type of floor covering and floor covering adhesive used in finished
slab-on-ground areas, a vapor barrier may be required immediately beneath the floor
slabs to maintain flooring product manufacturer warranties. A vapor barrier would help
reduce the transmission of moisture through the floor slabs. However, the unilateral
moisture release caused by placing concrete on an impermeable surface can increase slab
curl. The amount of slab curl can be reduced by careful selection of an appropriate
concrete mix. Slab curl cannot be eliminated. We recommend the owner, architect and
flooring contractor consider the performance of the slab in conjunction with the proposed
flooring products to help determine if a vapor barrier will be required and where best to
position the vapor barrier in relation to the floor slab. Additional guidance and
recommendations concerning slab-on-grade design can be found in American Concrete
Institute (ACI) section 302.
Exterior Flatwork
Exterior flatwork could be supported directly on reconditioned subgrade soils and/or
newly placed fill soils developed as outlined above. Care should be taken to avoid
disturbing exterior flatwork subgrades prior to placement of the overlying improvements.
Subgrade soils expected to receive exterior flatwork concrete should be evaluated closely
immediately prior to concrete placement. If areas of disturbed, soft/wet, or dry/expansive
subgrade soils are identified or develop during construction, those materials should be
removed and replaced or reworked in place prior to concrete placement.
Exterior flatwork will experience some movement subsequent to construction as the
subgrade soils increase in moisture content. Based on results of completed field and
laboratory testing, we expect the amount of movement of exterior flatwork supported on
reconditioned natural site soils with low swell potential and/or properly placed and
compacted fill would be limited. Overexcavation/backfill procedures could be
considered in areas where moderately expansive near-surface lean clay is encountered
below flatwork elements to reduce the potential for post-construction movement of these
improvements and tend to make movements more uniform. Care should be taken to
ensure that when exterior flatwork moves, positive drainage will be maintained away
from the structures.

Pavements
In new pavement areas, the subgrade soils should be developed as outlined in the “Site
Development” section of this report. New site pavements could be supported directly on
the reconditioned subgrade soils, suitable fill soils and/or overexcavation/backfill soils (if
necessary) placed and compacted as outlined in that section.
The pavement subgrades are expected to consist of lean clay with sand. The lean clay
would be subject to low remolded shear strength. A resistance value (R-value) of 5 was
estimated for the subgrade soils and used in the pavement section design. Traffic loading
on the site pavements is expected to consist of areas of low volumes of automobiles and
light trucks, as well as areas of higher light-vehicle traffic volumes and heavier trash and
delivery trucks. Equivalent 18-kip single axle loads (ESAL’s) were estimated for the
quantity of site traffic anticipated. Two (2) general pavement design classifications are
outlined below in Table I. Standard duty pavements could be considered in automobile
drive and parking areas. Heavy duty pavements should be considered for access drives
and other areas of the site expected to receive higher traffic volumes or heavy truck
traffic. It has been our experience that full-depth asphaltic concrete pavement sections
typically do not perform as well as structurally equivalent composite sections over time.
With the lean clay subgrade soils anticipated in proposed drive and parking areas, we do
not recommend full-depth asphaltic concrete pavement sections be considered for this
project.
Proofrolling of the pavement subgrades should be completed to help identify unstable
areas. Areas which pump or deform excessively (greater than 1 inch) should be mended
prior to asphalt, PCC and aggregate base course placement. Isolated areas of subgrade
instability can be mended on a case-by-case basis. If more extensive areas of subgrade
instability are observed and depending on the in-place moisture content of the subgrade
soils immediately prior to paving, the time of year when construction occurs and other
hydrologic conditions, overall stabilization of the subgrade soils may become necessary
to develop a suitable paving platform. If required, we recommend consideration be given
to stabilization of the pavement subgrades with Class C fly ash. With the increase in
support strength developed by the fly ash stabilization procedures, it is our opinion some

credit for the stabilized zone could be included in the pavement section design, reducing
the required thickness of overlying asphaltic concrete and aggregate base course. Fly ash
stabilization can also eliminate some of the uncertainty associated with attempting to
pave during periods of inclement weather. Pavement section design options
incorporating some structural credit for the fly ash-stabilized subgrade soils are outlined
below in Table I.

Asphaltic concrete should consist of a bituminous plant mix composed of a mixture of
aggregate, filler, binders and additives (if required) meeting the design requirements of
the City of Fort Collins. Aggregate used in the asphaltic concrete should meet specific
gradation requirements such as Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) grading
S (¾-inch minus) or SX (½-inch minus) specifications. Hot mix asphalt designed using
“Superpave” criteria should be compacted to within 92 to 96% of the materials Maximum
Theoretical Density. Aggregate base should be consistent with CDOT requirements for
Class 5 or Class 6 aggregate base, placed in loose lifts not to exceed 9 inches thick and
compacted to at least 95% of the materials standard Proctor maximum dry density.
If fly ash stabilization procedures will be completed, we recommend the addition of 13%
Class ‘C’ fly ash based on component dry unit weights. A 12-inch thick stabilized zone
should be constructed by thoroughly blending the fly ash with the in-place subgrade soils.
Some “fluffing” of the finish subgrade level should be expected with the stabilization
procedures. The blended materials should be adjusted in moisture content to within the
range of ±2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture content and compacted to at least

95% of the material’s standard Proctor maximum dry density within two (2) hours of fly
ash addition.
For areas subjected to truck turning movements and/or concentrated and repetitive
loading such as dumpster or truck parking and loading areas, we recommend
consideration be given to the use of Portland cement concrete pavement with a minimum
thickness of 6 inches. The concrete used for site pavements should be entrained with 4%
to 8% air and have a minimum 28-day compressive strength of 4,200 psi and maximum
water cement ratio of 0.45. Woven wire mesh or fiber entrained concrete should be
considered to help in the control of shrinkage cracking.
The proposed pavement section designs do not include an allowance for excessive
loading conditions imposed by heavy construction vehicles or equipment. Heavily
loaded concrete or other building material trucks and construction equipment can cause
some localized distress to site pavements. The recommended pavement sections are
minimums and periodic maintenance efforts should be expected. A preventative
maintenance program can help increase the service life of site pavements.
Utility Installation
Bedding around utility pipelines should be placed in accordance with recommendations
from the pipeline designer. Backfill soils placed above pipelines should consist of
approved materials which are free from organic matter, debris and other objectionable
materials. The on-site lean clay and sand and gravel could be used as pipeline backfill.
Lean clay and sand and gravel pipeline backfill should be placed in maximum 9-inch
loose lifts, adjusted to within ±2% of standard Proctor optimum moisture content and
compacted to at least 95% of the materials standard Proctor maximum dry density.
Care will be needed to ensure utilities are not placed on or above disturbed or sloughed
materials. Utility excavations will likely encounter overburden lean clay and silty sand
and gravel. Extra care will be needed to develop stable side slopes in pipeline trenches
excavated through soft lean clay and silty sand and gravel as these materials will be
particularly susceptible to caving. As such, we expect temporary shoring, bracing, or

cutting of shallow slopes/benches may be necessary in deeper excavations. Excavations
should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety following local and federal
regulations, including current OSHA excavation and trench safety standards. As a safety
measure, it is recommended that vehicles and soil stockpiles be kept to a minimum lateral
distance from the crest of the slope equal to no less than the slope height.
Groundwater was encountered at depths ranging from approximately 5½ to 11 feet below
present site grade in most of the borings drilled on the south half of the site. Utility
excavations extended below groundwater elevation will require dewatering to facilitate
proper construction. We expect dewatering procedures could be completed through open
pumping procedures in sumps fed from ditches or sloped trench excavations. If deeper
utility installation is required or if water bearing sand and gravel seams are exposed
during excavation, limiting the size of open excavations and higher capacity sumps and
pumps may be required.
Corrosive Soil Characteristics
Water-soluble sulfates (WSS) tests were completed on two (2) selected soil samples
obtained from the site to help evaluate corrosive soil characteristics with respect to buried
concrete. The samples evaluated were determined to contain 0 to 150 ppm of water
soluble sulfate. ACI rates the measured concentrations as being defined as a “negligible
risk” category for concrete sulfate attack; therefore Type I cement should be suitable for
concrete members on and below grade. As an added precaution, Type I/II Portland
cement could be considered for additional sulfate resistance of construction concrete.
Foundation concrete should be designed in accordance with the provisions of the ACI
Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4.
Drainage
Positive drainage is imperative for satisfactory long-term performance of the proposed
apartment buildings and associated site improvements. We recommend positive drainage
be developed away from the structures during construction and maintained throughout
the life of the site improvements, with twelve (12) inches of fall in the first 10 feet away

from the buildings. Shallower slopes could be considered in hardscape areas. In the
event that some settlement of the building backfill soils occurs over time, the original
grade and associated positive drainage outlined above should be immediately restored.
Care should be taken in the planning of landscaping to avoid features which could result
in the fluctuation of the moisture content of the foundation bearing and flatwork and
pavement subgrade soils. We recommend watering systems be placed a minimum of 5
feet away from the perimeters of the site structures and be designed to discharge away
from all site improvements. Gutter systems should be considered to help reduce the
potential for water ponding adjacent to the structures with the gutter downspouts, roof
drains or scuppers extended to discharge a minimum of 5 feet away from structural,
flatwork and pavement elements. Water which is allowed to pond adjacent to site
improvements can result in unsatisfactory performance of those improvements over time.
LIMITATIONS
This report was prepared based upon the data obtained from the completed site
exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis and any other information discussed.
The completed borings provide an indication of subsurface conditions at the boring
locations only. Variations in subsurface conditions can occur in relatively short distances
away from the borings. This report does not reflect any variations which may occur
across the site or away from the borings. If variations in the subsurface conditions
anticipated become evident, the geotechnical engineer should be notified immediately so
that further evaluation and supplemental recommendations can be provided.
The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by
implication any biological or environmental assessment of the site or identification or
prevention of pollutants or hazardous materials or conditions. Other studies should be
completed if concerns over the potential of such contamination or pollution exist.
The geotechnical engineer should be retained to review the plans and specifications so
that comments can be made regarding the interpretation and implementation of our
geotechnical recommendations in the design and specifications. The geotechnical

construction to help determine that the design requirements are fulfilled.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of our client for specific application
to the project discussed and has been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted
standard of care for the profession. No warranties express or implied, are made. The
conclusions and recommendations contained in this report should not be considered valid
in the event that any changes in the nature, design or location of the project as outlined in
this report are planned, unless those changes are reviewed and the conclusions of this

GENERAL NOTES
DRILLING & SAMPLING SYMBOLS:
SS: Split Spoon - 1⅜" I.D., 2" O.D., unless otherwise noted HS: Hollow Stem Auger
ST: Thin-Walled Tube – 2.5" O.D., unless otherwise noted PA: Power Auger
RS: Ring Sampler - 2.42" I.D., 3" O.D., unless otherwise noted HA: Hand Auger
CS: California Barrel - 1.92" I.D., 2.5" O.D., unless otherwise noted RB: Rock Bit
BS: Bulk Sample or Auger Sample WB: Wash Boring or Mud Rotary
The number of blows required to advance a standard 2-inch O.D. split-spoon sampler (SS) the last 12 inches of the total 18-inch
penetration with a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches is considered the “Standard Penetration” or “N-value”. For 2.5” O.D.
California Barrel samplers (CB) the penetration value is reported as the number of blows required to advance the sampler 12
inches using a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches, reported as “blows per inch,” and is not considered equivalent to the
“Standard Penetration” or “N-value”.
WATER LEVEL MEASUREMENT SYMBOLS:
WL: Water Level WS: While Sampling
WCI: Wet Cave in WD: While Drilling
DCI: Dry Cave in BCR: Before Casing Removal
AB: After Boring ACR: After Casing Removal
Water levels indicated on the boring logs are the levels measured in the borings at the times indicated. Groundwater levels at other
times and other locations across the site could vary. In pervious soils, the indicated levels may reflect the location of groundwater.
In low permeability soils, the accurate determination of groundwater levels may not be possible with only short-term observations.
DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION: Soil classification is based on the Unified Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils
have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand.
Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays if they
are plastic, and silts if they are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents
may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are defined
on the basis of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.
