EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A geotechnical exploration has been performed for the proposed WinCo Foods store to be
located at the southwest corner of Panama Lane and Ashe Road in Bakersfield, California.
Terracon’s geotechnical scope of work included the advancement of twenty test borings to
approximate depths of 6½ to 51½ feet below existing ground surface (bgs), and performing two
in-situ infiltration tests.
Based on the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, the site is considered suitable
for development of the proposed project, provided the recommendations contained in our report
are incorporated into the design and construction of the proposed project. The following
geotechnical considerations were identified:
The upper soils encountered in the test borings generally consisted of sands with
various amounts of silt and clay overlying silty/lean clay and silt with various amounts of
sands. Groundwater was encountered in one test boring at an approximate depth of 50
feet bgs at the time of drilling. The on-site soils are considered suitable for use as
engineered fill on the project.
Based on the geotechnical engineering analyses, subsurface exploration, and laboratory
test results, we recommend that the proposed structure be supported on a spread
footing foundation system.
Due to the low bearing capacity of the near surface soils, the proposed foundation
system should bear on a minimum of 24 inches of engineered fill.
Compacted on-site surface and near surface materials are expected to exhibit low
expansion potential when subjected to light loading conditions such as those imposed by
floor slabs. Construction of floor slabs directly on 6 inches of aggregate base underlain
by prepared on-site soils or approved import materials is considered acceptable for the
project.
Recommended Pavements: Light Duty Pavement – 3” AC over 6” to 7” AB, or 7” PCC
over 4” AB over 10” of compacted native soils; Heavy Duty Pavement – 3” AC over 7” to
8” AB or 8” PCC over 4” AB over 10” of compacted native soils.
The 2010 California Building Code (CBC) seismic site classification for this site is D.
Earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Terracon. The evaluation
of earthwork should include observation and testing of engineered fill, subgrade
preparation, foundation bearing soils, and other geotechnical conditions exposed during
construction.
This geotechnical executive summary should be used in conjunction with the entire report for
design and/or construction purposes. It should be recognized that specific details were not
included or fully developed in this section, and the report must be read in its entirety for a
comprehensive understanding of the items contained herein. The section titled General
Comments should be read for an understanding of the report limitations.

3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
3.1 Site Geology
The site is situated within the southern Great Valley Geomorphic Province in Central California.
This province is characterized by an alluvial plain approximately 50 miles wide and 400 miles
long in the central portion of California. It is bounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the
east and the Coast Ranges to the west.1, 2 Surficial geologic units mapped at the site consist
mainly of fan deposits of recent Quaternary age3.
3.2 Typical Subsurface Profile
Specific conditions encountered at the boring locations are indicated on the individual boring logs.
Stratification boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil
types; in-situ, the transition between materials may be gradual. Details for the borings can be

found on the boring logs included in Appendix A. Based on the results of the borings, subsurface
conditions on the project site can be generalized as follows:
Description Approximate Depth
to Bottom of Stratum Material Encountered Consistency/Density
Stratum 1* 2½ to 21½ feet Sand with various amounts of silt
and clay
Very loose to medium
dense
Stratum 2** 7½ to 21½ feet Sandy lean clay/silt/silty clay Soft to hard
Stratum 3 45 feet Poorly Graded Sand with Silt Medium dense
Stratum 4 50 feet Sandy Silt Very stiff
Stratum 5 51½ feet - Maximum
depth of exploration Poorly Graded Sand with Silt Medium dense
* Sandy silty clay was encountered in B-4 in the upper 2½ feet overlying the silty clayey sand layer.
** Encountered in borings B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-7, P-5, P-8, & P-9.
Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and the test results are presented in
Appendix B. Sulfate contents in the soils were found to be low. Laboratory test results indicate
that the upper soils exhibit a low collapse potential and expansion potential when saturated. A
direct shear test was performed on poorly graded sand with silt soils encountered in boring B-8
at 2½ feet and indicated a friction angle of 32o with a corresponding cohesion of 142 psf.
R-value testing was performed on two soil samples. The first sample consisted of silty sand and
comprised the upper 3 feet of soils from borings B-1 & B-2 combined. The second sample also
consisted of silty sand and comprised the upper 3 feet of soils from borings B-9 & B-10
combined. Test results indicated that the samples had R-values of 53 and 48 respectively.
3.3 Groundwater
Groundwater was observed in one test boring at an approximate depth of 50 feet at the time of
field exploration. These observations represent groundwater conditions at the time of the field
exploration and may not be indicative of other times, or at other locations. Groundwater may
fluctuate due to variation in the amount of irrigation, rainfall, run-off, or other factors not evident
at the time of drilling. Evaluation of these factors is beyond the scope of the report.
State Department of Water Resources identifies the groundwater depth in multiple wells in the
vicinity of project site. Groundwater was found to be deeper than 100 feet below ground surface
in the last 40 years.4
3.4 Faulting and Estimated Ground Motions
The site is located in Southern California, which is a seismically active area. The type and
magnitude of seismic hazards affecting the site are dependent on the distance to causative

faults, the intensity, and the magnitude of the seismic event. The table below indicates the
distance of the fault zones and the associated maximum credible earthquake that can be
produced by nearby seismic events, as calculated using the USGS Earthquake Hazard Program
2002 interactive deaggregations. The White Wolf fault, which is located approximately 13.4
miles from the site, is considered to have the most significant effect at the site from a design
standpoint.

Based on these sources the peak ground acceleration at the subject site for a 10% Probability
of Exceedance in 50 years (Return Period of 475 years) is expected to be about 0.29g.
The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone based on our review of
the State Fault Hazard Maps.5
3.5 Liquefaction Potential
Liquefaction is a mode of ground failure that results from the generation of high pore water
pressures during earthquake ground shaking, causing loss of shear strength. Liquefaction is
typically a hazard where loose sandy soils exist below groundwater. The California Geologic
Survey (CGS) has designated certain areas within southern California as potential liquefaction
hazard zones. These are areas considered at risk of liquefaction-related ground failure during a
seismic event, based upon mapped surficial deposits and the presence of a relatively shallow
water table. The project site is not mapped for liquefaction hazard by the CGS.
Liquefaction analysis for the site was performed in accordance with the DMG Special
Publication 117 and the summary of the results is presented in Appendix D. The liquefaction
study utilized the software “LiquefyPro” by CivilTech Software and calculated liquefaction
assuming a depth to groundwater of 50 feet bgs. This analysis was based on the soils data from
the soil borings and laboratory results. Maximum acceleration and Mean Earthquake Magnitude
were calculated using the USGS Earthquake Hazard Program 2002 interactive deaggregations.
Liquefaction potential was calculated from a depth of 0 to 50 feet below the ground surface.
The factor of safety was greater than 1.3 for the entire depth of the analysis.

Based on calculation results, seismically-induced total and differential settlement is estimated to
be less than ½ inch.
3.6 Infiltration Test Results
Two in-situ infiltration tests (falling head borehole permeability) were performed within the
proposed retention basin to a depth of approximately 10 feet bgs. A 2-inch thick layer of gravel
was placed in the bottom of each boring after the borings were drilled to evaluate the soil profile.
A three inch diameter perforated pipe was installed on top of the gravel layer in each boring.
Gravel was used to backfill between the perforated pipes and the boring sidewall. The borings
were then filled with water for a pre-soak period. Testing began after one day of presoak
period. At the beginning of each test, the pipes were refilled with water and readings were taken
at periodic time intervals as the water level dropped. The infiltration testing was performed
under a water head varying from 2 to 9 feet. Infiltration rates are provided in the following table.
INFILTRATION TEST RESULTS
Test Location Depth Soil Classification Slowest Measured Infiltration
Rate, in/hr
Perc-1 10 feet Silty Clay with Sand 5
Perc-2 10 feet Silty Sand over Silty Clay 12
The percolation test zone extended across soil layers with silty sand overlying silty clay. Water
generally percolates into the sand soils more rapidly than it percolates into silty clay soils.
The field test results are not intended to be design rates. They represent the result of our tests,
at the depths and locations indicated, as described above. The design rate should be
determined by the designer by applying an appropriate factor of safety. With time, the bottoms
of infiltration systems tend to plug with organics, sediments, and other debris. Long term
maintenance will likely be required to remove these deleterious materials to help reduce
decreases in actual percolation rates. In addition, the infiltration rate may be affected by the
following factors, which should be considered when selecting the factor of safety:
Test Procedures: Percolation during the test likely included seepage out of the boring both
vertically and laterally, whereas seepage from storm water infiltration systems may primarily
flow vertically downward, depending on the geometry and details of the systems.
Water Quality: The percolation test was performed with clear water, whereas the storm water
will likely not be clear, but may contain organics, fines, and grease/oil. The presence of these
deleterious materials will tend to decrease the rate that water percolates from the infiltration
systems. Design of the storm water infiltration systems should account for the presence of
these materials and should incorporate structures/devices to remove these deleterious
materials.

Soil Variability: Based on the soils encountered in our borings, we expect the percolation rates
of the soils could be different than measured in the field due to variations in fines content. The
design elevation and size of the proposed infiltration system should account for this expected
variability in infiltration rates.
Infiltration testing should be performed after construction of the infiltration system to verify the
design infiltration rates. It should be noted that siltation and vegetation growth along with other
factors may affect the infiltration rates of the infiltration areas. The actual infiltration rate may
vary from the values reported here. Infiltration systems should be located at least 10 feet from
any existing or proposed foundation system.
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
4.1 Geotechnical Considerations
The site appears suitable for the proposed construction based upon geotechnical conditions
encountered in the test borings, provided the geotechnical engineering recommendations
contained in this report are implemented in the design and construction of the project. Based on
the geotechnical engineering analyses, subsurface exploration, and laboratory test results, we
recommend that the proposed building be supported on a spread footing foundation system.
Due to the low bearing capacity of the near surface soils, the foundation system should bear on
a minimum of 24 inches of engineered fill. Slab on grade may be utilized for the interior floor,
provided that care is taken in the placement and compaction of the subgrade soil. On-site soils
should be suitable for use as engineered fill for this project.
Geotechnical engineering recommendations for foundation systems and other earth connected
phases of the project are outlined below. The recommendations contained in this report are
based upon the results of field and laboratory testing (which are presented in Appendices A and
B), engineering analyses, and our current understanding of the proposed project.
4.2 Earthwork
The following presents recommendations for site preparation, excavation, subgrade preparation
and placement of engineered fills on the project. The recommendations presented for the
design and construction of earth supported elements including, foundations, slabs, and
pavements, are contingent upon following the recommendations outlined in this section. All
grading for each structure should incorporate the limits of the proposed structure plus a lateral
distance beyond the edges as outlined in section 4.3.
Earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Terracon. The evaluation of
earthwork should include observation and testing of engineered fill, subgrade preparation,

foundation bearing soils, and other geotechnical conditions exposed during the construction of
the project.
4.2.1 Site Preparation
Strip and remove existing vegetation, top soil, organic materials, root systems, and other
deleterious materials from proposed building and pavement areas. We recommend stripping
topsoil to depths that expose soils with less than 3 percent organics and no roots having a
diameter greater than 1/8 inch. While the depth of the unsuitable soils should be expected to
vary, the thickness of the top soil layer may be estimated to range between 6 and 12 inches for
construction budgeting purposes. The thickness of the top soil layer was not determined during
our field exploration. Therefore, the actual depth of stripping should be verified by engineering
observations made during the grading operations at the project. Exposed surfaces should be
free of mounds and depressions which could prevent uniform compaction.
Stripped materials consisting of vegetation and organic materials should be wasted from the
site, or used to revegetate landscaped areas or exposed slopes after completion of grading
operations. If it is necessary to dispose of organic materials on site, they should be placed in
non-structural areas, and in fill sections not exceeding 5 feet in height
The site should be initially graded to create a relatively level surface to receive fill, and provide
for a relatively uniform thickness of fill beneath proposed building structures.
Although evidence of fill or underground facilities such as septic tanks, cesspools, basements,
and utilities was not observed during the site reconnaissance, such features could be
encountered during construction. If fill materials or underground facilities are encountered, such
materials and features should be removed and the excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to
backfill placement and/or construction.
4.2.2 Subgrade Preparation
Due to the presence of loose materials having low bearing capacity in the upper soils,
foundations should bear on a minimum of 24 inches of engineered fill.
Subgrade soils beneath interior slabs, exterior slabs, and pavements should be scarified,
moisture conditioned, and compacted to a minimum depth of 10 inches. The moisture content
and compaction of subgrade soils should be maintained until slab or pavement construction.
Exposed areas which will receive fill, once properly cleared and benched where necessary,
should be scarified to a minimum depth of 10 inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted per
the compaction requirements in Section 4.2.5.

4.2.3 Fill Materials and Placement
All fill materials should be inorganic soils free of vegetation, debris, and fragments larger than
three inches in size. Pea gravel or other similar non-cementitious, poorly-graded materials
should not be used as fill or backfill without the prior approval of the geotechnical engineer.
The on-site soils are considered suitable for use as engineered fill on the project. Approved on-
site and imported materials may be used as fill material for the following:
general site grading foundation backfill
foundation areas pavement areas
interior floor slab areas exterior slab areas
Imported soils for use as fill material within proposed building and structure areas (if required)
should conform to low volume change materials and should conform to the following
requirements:
Percent Finer by Weight
Gradation (ASTM C 136)
3” ........................................................................................................... 100
No. 4 Sieve ....................................................................................... 50-100

Liquid Limit......................................................................... 30 (max)
Plasticity Index ................................................................... 15 (max)
Maximum expansive index* ............................................... 20 (max)
*ASTM D 4829
Engineered fill should be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts, using equipment and
procedures that will produce recommended moisture contents and densities throughout the lift.
Fill lifts should not exceed eight inches loose thickness.
4.2.4 Compaction Requirements

Aggregate base (beneath pavements):95 -1% +3%
4.2.5 Grading and Drainage
Positive drainage should be provided during construction and maintained throughout the life of
the development. Infiltration of water into utility trenches or foundation excavations should be
prevented during construction. Backfill against footings, exterior walls, and in utility and sprinkler
line trenches should be well compacted and free of all construction debris to reduce the
possibility of moisture infiltration. We recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance of 10
feet between the perimeter of any building and the high-water elevation of the nearest storm-
water retention basin.
Roof drainage should discharge into splash blocks or extensions when the ground surface
beneath such features is not protected by exterior slabs or paving. Sprinkler systems and
landscaped irrigation should not be installed within 5 feet of foundation walls. Special care
should be taken in design of plumbing and floor drainage to prevent leakage into underlying
soils.
4.2.6 Exterior Slab Design and Construction
Exterior slabs-on-grade, exterior architectural features, and utilities founded on, or in backfill
may experience some movement due to the volume change of the backfill. To reduce the
potential for damage caused by movement, we recommend:
minimizing moisture increases in the backfill;
controlling moisture-density during placement of backfill;
using designs which allow vertical movement between the exterior features and
adjoining structural elements;
placing effective control joints on relatively close centers.
4.2.7 Corrosion Potential
Results of soluble sulfate testing indicate that ASTM Type I/II Portland cement may be used for
concrete on and below grade. Foundation concrete should be designed for low sulfate
exposure in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4.

Laboratory test results indicate the on-site soils have a pH of 7.7 a minimum resistivity of 7,800
ohm-centimeters, and a chloride content of 46 ppm, as shown on the attached Summary of
Laboratory Results sheet. These values should be used to evaluate corrosive potential of the
on-site soils to underground ferrous metals.
Refer to the Summary of Laboratory Results in Appendix B for the complete results of the
corrosivity testing conducted in conjunction with this geotechnical exploration.
4.2.8 Construction Considerations
It is anticipated that excavations for the proposed construction can be accomplished with
conventional earthmoving equipment. On-site silt and clay soils may rut, pump, or become
unworkable at high water contents. Workability may be improved by scarifying and drying if
weather conditions permit. Over-excavation of wet zones and replacement with granular
materials may be necessary. Lightweight excavation equipment may be required to reduce
subgrade pumping
The individual contractor(s) is responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary
excavations as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom.
Excavations should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety following local, and federal
regulations, including current OSHA excavation and trench safety standards.
4.3 Foundations
The new building should be supported by a shallow, spread footing foundation system bearing
on a minimum of 24 inches of engineered fill. Design recommendations for foundations of the
proposed building and related structural elements are presented in the following paragraphs:
DESCRIPTION RECOMENDATION
Foundation Type Conventional Shallow Spread Footings
Bearing Material A minimum of 24 inches of engineered fill.
Allowable Bearing Pressure 1,600 psf for spread footings
Minimum Dimensions Walls: 18 inches; Columns: 24 inches
Minimum Embedment Depth Below Finished Grade 18 inches
Total Estimated Settlement 1 inch
Estimated Differential Settlement ½ inch in 50 feet
Finished grade is defined as the lowest adjacent grade within five feet of the foundation for
perimeter (or exterior) footings, or finish floor elevation for interior footings. The allowable
foundation bearing pressures apply to dead loads plus design live load conditions. The design
bearing pressure may be increased by one-third when considering total loads that include wind
or seismic conditions. The weight of the foundation concrete below grade may be neglected in
dead load computations.

Foundations and masonry walls should be reinforced as necessary to reduce the potential for
distress caused by differential foundation movement. The use of joints at openings or other
discontinuities in masonry walls is recommended.
Over-excavation for compacted backfill placement below footings should extend laterally
beyond edges of the footings at least 8 inches per foot of over-excavation depth below footing
base elevation.
The over-excavation should then be backfilled up to the footing base elevation with engineered
fill placed in lifts of 8 inches or less in loose thickness and per section 4.2.4 of this report. The
limits of required over-excavation and backfill is shown in the following figure.
Care should be taken to prevent wetting or drying of the bearing materials during construction.
Wet, dry, or loose/disturbed material in the bottom of the footing excavations should be removed
before foundation concrete is placed. Place a lean concrete mud-mat over the bearing soils if
the excavations must remain open for an extended period of time.
The geotechnical engineer should observe foundation excavations. If the soil conditions
encountered differ significantly from those presented in this report, supplemental
recommendations will be required

less) such as for forklift wheel loads or point loads and should be
adjusted for larger loaded areas.
In areas of exposed concrete, control joints should be saw cut into the slab after concrete
placement in accordance with the ACI Design Manual, Section 302.1R-37 8.3.12 (tooled control
joints are not recommended). Additionally, dowels should be placed at the location of proposed
construction joints. To control the width of cracking (should it occur) continuous slab
reinforcement should be considered in exposed concrete slabs.
The use of a vapor retarder or barrier should be considered beneath concrete slabs on grade
that will be covered with moisture sensitive or impervious coverings, or when the slab will
support equipment sensitive to moisture. A ten mil PVC or polyethylene membrane may be
provided beneath such interior slabs to prevent moisture migration. When conditions warrant the
use of a vapor retarder, the slab designer and slab contractor should refer to ACI 302 and ACI
360 for procedures and cautions regarding the use and placement of a vapor retarder/barrier.

1 Note: The 2010 California Building Code (CBC) requires a site soil profile determination extending to a depth of
100 feet for seismic site classification. The current scope does not include the required 100 foot soil profile
determination. Borings extended to a maximum depth of 51½ feet, and this seismic site class definition considers
that similar soils 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.
4.6 Lateral Earth Pressures
The lateral earth pressure recommendations herein are applicable to the design of rigid
retaining walls subject to slight rotation, such as cantilever, or gravity type concrete walls. These
recommendations are not applicable to the design of geogrid-reinforced-backfill walls.

Recommendations covering these types of wall systems are beyond the scope of services for
this assignment; however, we would be available to develop recommendations for the design of
such wall systems upon request.
Based on the proposed building elevations, It is our understanding that retaining walls will be
constructed for a planned loading dock. For on-site soils above any free water surface,
recommended equivalent fluid pressures for unrestrained foundation elements are:
ITEM VALUE1,2
Active Case 37 psf/ft
Passive Case 390 psf/ft
At-Rest Case 56 psf/ft
Surcharge Pressure 0.31*(Surcharge)
Dynamic Lateral Earth Pressure Increment 26H
Coefficient of friction 0.35
1 The values are based on the on-site engineered fill materials used as backfill.
2 Earth pressures should be increased by 35 percent for a slope of 2H:1V behind wall. Earth pressures increase
exponentially for back slopes steeper than 2H:1V.
The lateral earth pressures herein do not include any factor of safety and are not applicable for
submerged soils/hydrostatic loading. Additional recommendations may be necessary if such
conditions are to be included in the design.
Total lateral earth pressures acting on the wall during a seismic event will likely include the
static force and the dynamic increment. This dynamic increment should be applied to the wall as
an inverted triangular pressure over the entire wall height and is added to the static earth
pressures. The dynamic lateral earth pressure increment at the top of the wall (for a 0.29g peak
ground acceleration) is 26H (in units of pounds per square foot (psf), where H (in units of feet) is
the height of the soil behind the wall.
Surcharge pressure for uniform pressure acting at the back of the wall should be applied to the
wall as a uniform pressure over the entire wall height and is added to the static earth pressures.
Other surcharge loads should be considered where they are located within a horizontal distance
behind the wall equal to 1.5 times the height of the wall. Surcharge stresses due to point loads,
line loads, and those of limited extent, such as compaction equipment, should be evaluated
using elastic theory.
Fill against foundation and retaining walls should be compacted to densities specified in the
Earthwork section of this report. Compaction of each lift adjacent to walls should be
accomplished with hand-operated tampers or other lightweight compactors.

Adequate drainage should be provided behind the below-grade walls to collect water from
irrigation, landscaping, surface runoff, or other sources, to achieve a free-draining backfill
condition. The wall back drain should consist of Class 2 permeable materials that are placed
behind the entire wall height to within 18 inches of ground surface at the top of the wall. As a
minimum, the width of Class 2 permeable materials behind the wall should be two feet. Water
collected by the back drain should be directed to an appropriate outlet, such as weep holes or
perforated pipes, for disposal.
4.7 Pavements
4.7.1 Design Recommendations
Based on laboratory testing, a design R-Value of 48 was used to calculate the asphalt concrete
pavement and portland cement concrete thickness sections.
The equivalent single axial load (ESAL) data provided by WinCo were converted to traffic
indices for design purposes. The equation for determining the Traffic Index (TI) as a function of
equivalent single axial loads (ESALs) is:
TI = 9 (ESALs/106)0.119
Assuming the pavement subgrade will be prepared as recommended within this report, the
following pavement sections should be considered minimums for this project for the traffic
indices (TI) assumed in the table below.
Recommended Asphalt Pavement Section Thickness (inches)*

ESALs = 50,000 ESALs = 90,000 ESALs = 90,000 ESALs = 180,000

Subgrade soils beneath all pavements should be scarified, moisture conditioned, and
compacted to a minimum depth of 10 inches. The moisture content and compaction of subgrade
soils should be maintained until slab or pavement construction.
All concrete for rigid pavements should have a minimum flexural strength of 600 psi, and be
placed with a maximum slump of four inches. Proper joint spacing will also be required to
reduce excessive slab curling and shrinkage cracking. All joints should be sealed to prevent
entry of foreign material and dowelled where necessary for load transfer.
Regular maintenance and good drainage of pavements should be provided and maintained.
Preventative maintenance should be planned and provided for through an on-going pavement
management program in order to enhance future pavement performance. Preventative
maintenance activities are intended to slow the rate of pavement deterioration, and to preserve
the pavement investment.
Preventative maintenance consists of both localized maintenance (e.g. crack sealing and
patching) and global maintenance (e.g. surface sealing). Preventative maintenance is usually
the first priority when implementing a planned pavement maintenance program and provides the
highest return on investment for pavements.
4.7.2 Construction Considerations
Materials and construction of pavements for the project should be in accordance with the
requirements and specifications of the State of California Department of Transportation, or other
approved local governing specifications.
Base course or pavement materials should not be placed when the underlying surface is wet.
Surface drainage should be provided away from the edge of paved areas to minimize lateral
moisture transmission into the subgrade.
5.0 GENERAL COMMENTS
Terracon should be retained to review the final design plans and specifications so comments
can be made regarding interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical recommendations
in the design and specifications. Terracon also should be retained to provide observation and
testing services during grading, excavation, foundation construction and other earth-related
construction phases of the project.
The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the borings performed at the indicated locations and from other information discussed in
this report. This report does not reflect variations that may occur between borings, across the
site, or due to the modifying effects of construction or weather. The nature and extent of such
variations may not become evident until during or after construction. If variations appear, we
should be immediately notified so that further evaluation and supplemental recommendations
can be provided.

Exhibit A-3
Field Exploration Description
A total of twenty test borings were drilled at the site on October 8 & 9, 2012. Eighteen test
borings were drilled to approximate depths of 6½ to 51½ feet bgs, and two borings were drilled
to an approximate depth of 10 feet bgs within the proposed retention basin and were used for
infiltration testing. The approximate locations are shown on the attached Boring Location Plan,
Exhibit A-2. The test borings were advanced with a truck-mounted CME-55 drill rig utilizing 6-
inch diameter hollow-stem auger.
The borings were located in the field by using the proposed site plan, an aerial photograph of
the site, and a GPS handheld device. The accuracy of boring locations should only be assumed
to the level implied by the method used.
Continuous lithologic logs of the borings were recorded by the field engineer during the drilling
operations. At selected intervals, samples of the subsurface materials were taken by driving
split-spoon or ring-barrel samplers. Bulk samples of subsurface materials were also obtained.
Groundwater conditions were evaluated in the borings at the time of site exploration.
Penetration resistance measurements were obtained by driving the split-spoon and ring-barrel
samplers into the subsurface materials with a 140-pound automatic hammer falling 30 inches.
The number of blows required to advance the sampling spoon from 6 to 18 inches of
penetration is called the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) value. The penetration resistance
value is a useful index in estimating the consistency or relative density of materials
encountered.
A CME automatic SPT hammer was used to advance the split-barrel sampler in the borings
performed on this site. A significantly greater efficiency is achieved with the automatic hammer
compared to the conventional safety hammer operated with a cathead and rope. This higher
efficiency has an appreciable effect on the SPT-N value. The effect of the automatic hammer's
efficiency has been considered in the interpretation and analysis of the subsurface information
for this report.
Please note that a combination of ring-lined barrel samplers and standard penetration testing
was used during the field exploration to sample and test the subsurface soils on this project.
Both of these sampling procedures result in a distinctive penetration value and the results are
reported on the borings logs. The penetration test results and resistance reported for the ring-
lined barrel sampler are not equivalent to those results that would be obtained by standard
penetration testing according to ASTM and should not be used as such without interpretation by
Terracon. Additional discussion regarding the differences in the penetration testing are
discussed on the General Notes included in this Appendix.
The samples were tagged for identification, sealed to reduce moisture loss, and taken to our
laboratory for further examination, testing, and classification. Information provided on the boring
logs attached to this report includes soil descriptions, consistency evaluations, boring depths,
sampling intervals, and groundwater conditions. The borings were backfilled with auger cuttings
prior to the drill crew leaving the site.

November 7, 2012 ■ Terracon Project No. 60125053
Exhibit B-1
Laboratory Testing
Samples retrieved during the field exploration were taken to the laboratory for further
observation by the project geotechnical engineer and were classified in accordance with the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) described in Appendix C. At that time, the field
descriptions were confirmed or modified as necessary and an applicable laboratory testing
program was formulated to determine engineering properties of the subsurface materials.
Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and the test results are presented in
this appendix. The laboratory test results were used for the geotechnical engineering analyses,
and the development of foundation and earthwork recommendations. Laboratory tests were
performed in general accordance with the applicable ASTM, local or other accepted standards.
Selected soil samples obtained from the site were tested for the following engineering
properties:
In-situ Dry Density In-situ Water Content
Soluble Chlorides Soluble Sulfates
pH
Direct Shear
Minimum Resistivity
Expansion Index
Sieve Analysis

DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION
> 8,000
Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device. The accuracy
of such devices is variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/- indicates that no actual topographical survey was
conducted to confirm the surface elevation. Instead, the surface elevation was approximately determined from topographic
maps of the area.
Soil classification is based on the Unified Soil 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.
