Mr. Rajnovich:
Building & Earth Sciences, LLP has completed our review of Depcom Power’s comments provided
by Taney Engineering on April 5, 2018. This re-issued report addresses these comments.
Building & Earth Sciences has completed the authorized subsurface exploration and geotechnical
engineering evaluation for the McBride Solar BV2 Facility located near the intersection of Joyner
Road and Mt. Pleasant Road in Concord, North Carolina.
The purpose of this exploration and evaluation was to determine general subsurface conditions
at the site and to address applicable geotechnical aspects of the proposed construction and site
development. The recommendations in this report are based on a physical reconnaissance of the
site and observation and classification of samples obtained from thirty-four (34) soil test borings
conducted at the site. Confirmation of the anticipated subsurface conditions during construction
is an essential part of geotechnical services.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide consultation services for the proposed project. If you

Area 1 is the portion of the site that is situated on the north side of Joyner Road. The
property is generally unused and is covered with wooded areas. There is a small section
that appears to be used for agricultural fields. The area generally slopes downward to the
northeast, and according to Google Earth maps, appears to very in elevation from about
605 feet to 550 feet. Surface water runoff generally flows to the north east toward a
tributary stream of the Rocky River.
Area 2 is located in the southwest corner of the intersection of Joyner Road and Mt.
Pleasant Road. The property general is unused and is covered with wooded areas on the
eastern portion, and agricultural fields on the western portion. According to Google Earth
maps, there is a local high spot near the center of the property with an elevation of about
595 feet. The ground surface slopes downward from this local high point in all directions
to elevations that range from about 555 to about 575. The lowest elevation in Area 2
appears to be near the intersection of Joyner Road and Mt. Pleasant Road. Surface water
runoff generally flows to the west for the western half of this area, and to the northeast
for the eastern half of the area.
Area 3 is located on the west side of Mt. Pleasant Road. The property general is unused
and is covered with wooded areas and overgrown fields. Accordi ng to Google Earth maps,
there is a local high spot near the northwest corner of the area with an elevation of about
575 feet. The ground surface generally slopes downward from this local high point in
southerly direction toward Bost Creek which flows southeast to the Rocky River.
Area 4 is located on the east side of Highway 601, near the intersection of Jim Sossoman
Road. The area is not in use and is generally overgrown fields. According to Goggle Earth
maps, it appears that the highest elevation is along Highway 601 with an elevation of
about 570 feet. The ground surface slopes downward to the northeast to a low point at
about 505 feet near Bost Creek.

2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The authorized subsurface exploration was performed on July 24 through July 26, 2017 in
conformance with our proposal RD19393R2, dated July 18, 2017. And notice to proceed
was provided via email and signed proposal on July 18, 2017.
The purpose of the geotechnical exploration was to determine general subsurface
conditions at specific boring locations and to gather data on which to base a geotechnical
evaluation with respect to the proposed construction. The subsurface exploration for this
project consisted of thirty-four (34) soil test borings. The site was drilled using a Geoprobe
7822DT equipped with an automatic Standard Penetration Test (SPT) hammer.
The soil boring locations were determined in the field by a representative of our staff by
using GPS coordinates provided to us by Taney Engineering. As such, the boring locations
shown on the Boring Location Plan attached to this report should be considered
approximate.

The soil samples recovered during our site investigation were visually classified and
specific samples were selected by the project engineer for laboratory analysis. The
laboratory analysis consisted of:
Natural Moisture Content
Material Finer Than No. 200 Sieve
Atterberg Limit
Expansion Index
Collapse Potential
Moisture-Density Relationship (unit weight)
Thermal Resistivity
Unconfined Compressive Strength
Triaxial Shear
Some of the results of the laboratory analysis are presented on the enclosed Boring Logs,
but all results are also provided in tabular form in the Appendix of this report. Descriptions
of the laboratory tests that were performed are also included in the Appendix. The
information gathered from the exploration was evaluated to determine a suitable
foundation type for the proposed structure. The information was also evaluated to help
determine if any special subgrade preparation procedures will be required during the
earthwork phase of the project.
The results of the work are presented within this report that addresses:
• Plans and maps showing the location of the project and our onsite work.
• Site and geologic conditions.
• A description of the subsurface conditions encountered at the boring locations.
• Site preparation considerations including material types to be expected during
foundation construction and mass grading as well as recommendations regarding
handling and treatment of unsuitable soils, if encountered.
• Compaction requirements and recommended criteria to establish suitable
surfaces for structural backfill.

3.0 GEOTECHNICAL SITE CHARACTERIZATION
The following discussion is intended to create a general understanding of the site from a
geotechnical engineering perspective. It is not intended to be a discussion of every
potential geotechnical issue that may arise, nor to provide every possible interpretation
of the conditions identified. The following conditions and subsequent recommendations
are based on the assumption that significant changes in subsurface conditions do not
occur between boreholes.
However, anomalous conditions can occur due to variations in existing fill that may be
present at the site, or the geologic conditions at the site, and it will be necessary to
evaluate the assumed conditions during site grading and foundation installation.
3.1 GEOLOGY
The state of North Carolina is divided into geologic belts of similar bedrock or deposit
types. According to the “Geologic Map of North Carolina”, dated 1985, published by the
North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, the
subject site is located within the Charlotte Belt of the Piedmont geologic belt.
According to the geologic map, the site is located in a zone labeled “CZph”, which is
described as the “Phyllite and Schist” metamorphic rock. The Phyllite and Schist rock is
described as “Minor Biotite, pyrite, and minor sillimanite, includes minor quartzite”
3.2 EXISTING SURFACE CONDITIONS
The current site conditions present are agricultural fields, unused fields covered with light
brush, and wooded areas. Our borings were generally not in wooded or thick areas of the
site to aide with site access. As such, the reported topsoil depths generally should be
considered to be “best-case” scenarios. In areas of the site that are low, and/or wooded
topsoil depths should be expected to deeper than those reported herein.

Table 3: Stratification Summary
Subsurface soil profiles have also been prepared based on the data obtained at the
specific boring locations. The subsurface soil profiles are presented in the Appendix. For
specific details on the information obtained from individual soil borings, please refer to
the Boring Logs included in the Appendix. The elevations of the borings indicated in this
report were estimated based on satellite data estimated by google earth.
3.4 TOPSOIL
All borings encountered topsoil at the ground surface, except B-08, B-11, B-17, B-21, B-22,
B-24, B-25, and B-32. The topsoil thickness measured between approximately 2 and 14
inches. No testing has been performed to verify that soils meet the requirements of
“topsoil”. The topsoil depths reported on the boring logs should only be construed as an
estimate and actual conditions could vary in unexplored areas of the site.
3.5 OVERBURDEN SOILS
Below the topsoil, and at the ground surface in borings B-08, B-11, B-17, B-21, B-22, B-
24, B-25, and B-32, the test borings generally encountered a soil layer which we will refer
to in this report as overburden soils. The soils consist of inconsistent layers of silty sand
(USCS SM), clayey sand (USCS SC), sandy silt (USCS ML), elastic silt (USCS MH), and sandy
clay (USCS CL), and fat clay (USCS CH). The overburden soils were encountered to depths
that range from approximately 3.0 to more than 15 feet, with an average depth across 34
borings of about 8 feet.
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
McBride Solar BV2 Facility, Concord, North Carolina
Project No: RD170385, April 16, 2018
Page | 8
The overburden soils can be separated into two groups: coarse-grained soils and fine-
grained soils. The coarse-grained soils (USCS GS, GP, and SM) were encountered in test
borings B-04, B-05, B-06 and B-23. These soils are generally loose to very dense with SPT
N values that range from 8 to more than 100 blows per foot. It is noted that only test
boring B-06 encountered loose coarse-grained soil at the ground surface. Based on the
laboratory test results, some of these soils are non-plastic (B-23, sample 2). However most
have a liquid limit of 37 to 50 percent, and a plastic index of 9 to 21 percent. The fines
content for these coarse-grained soils ranges from 16.0 to 42.1 percent.
The fine-grained soils (USCS ML, MH, CL and CH) were general very soft to hard with SPT
N values that range from 2 to more than 100 blows per foot. We note the presence of
very soft and soft soils at the ground surface in test borings B-30 and B-31, respectively.
The fines content for these fined grained soils ranges from 60.7 to 84.8 percent. With the
exception of soils encountered at location B-29 and B-30, all of the fined grained soils
have liquid limits ranging between 36 and 69 percent. Samples from B-29 and B-30 were
non-plastic. For those soils with a liquid limit, the plastic index ranges from 14 to 39. We
note that elastic silts, or highly plastic clays were encountered at the ground surface at
test boring locations B-11, B-22, B-24, B-25, B-29, and B-31 to B-34.
Test borings B-16, B-23, B-25, and B-28 terminated in the over burden soils at a depth of
15 feet below the ground surface.
3.6 PARTIALLY WEATHERED ROCK
Below the overburden soils, the test borings encountered partially weathered rock (PWR).
These soils resemble the underlying parent rock in the region and have SPT N-values that
are greater than 100 blows per foot. Because these samples were fractured during our
drilling and sampling operation, the retrieved samples were sampled as material with a
sample matrix. The PWR was sampled as silts, clays, and sands, although when intact, will
have a more massive appearance characterized by fine bedded seams of soil.
Laboratory testing, performed on the PWR, resulted in soil classifications that are
indistinguishable from those of the over burden soils.
All of the remaining test borings terminated in the PWR at depths that range between
about 5 and 15 feet below the ground surface. It is noted that thirteen (13) of the thirty-
four (34) borings terminated in the PWR at depths shallower than 15.0 feet.
3.7 AUGER REFUSAL
Auger refusal is the drilling depth at which the borehole can no longer be advanced using
soil drilling procedures. Auger refusal can occur on hard soil, boulders, buried debris or

bedrock. Auger refusal was encountered in thirteen (13) test borings. The following table
provides the auger refusal depths.
Boring No. Depth (ft) Boring No. Depth (ft) Boring No. Depth (ft)
B-04 8.0 B-17 5.0 B-30 11.0
B-06 12.0 B-22 11.0 B-33 11.0
B-08 11.0 B-24 10.0 B-34 11.0
B-10 11.0 B-25 10.0
B-15 7.5 B-27 12.0
Table 4: Auger Refusal Depths
3.8 GROUNDWATER
At the time of drilling, groundwater not encountered in any of our test borings. Water
levels reported are accurate only for the time and date that the borings were drilled. Long
term monitoring of the boreholes was not included as part of our subsurface exploration.
The borings were backfilled the same day that they were drilled.
3.9 SEISMIC SITE CLASS
The SeisOpt ReMi method was used to determine the Seismic Site Class for this site.
SeisOpt ReMi software uses refraction microtremor recordings from standard refraction
equipment to estimate average shear wave velocities and one- and two-dimensional
shear wave profiles to a depth of 100 feet below the existing site grades. These velocities
are used to classify a building site with the IBC site Class A through E.
Based upon information gathered, and our experience with soils in this region, the
subsurface conditions at the site correspond to an International Building Code (IBC) (Table
1613.5.2) seismic site classification “C”, indicating a “very dense soil and soft rock profile”.

4.0 SITE DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
A grading plan was not available at the time of this report. B ased on information provided
by Taney Engineering, no mass grading for the project will be performed and that the
present grades are expected to remain the same.
Based on an evaluation of the subsurface soil information collected at the test locations,
and the anticipated foundation loads, it appears that construction using the planned w-
section pile system is feasible. The w-section piles should develop their capacity from
skin friction and end bearing in either the overburden soils, or in the partially weathered
rock. If partially weathered rock is encountered, the piles likely will need to be set into
pre-drilled, concrete filled, shaft holes. We have provided a discussion of this shallow pile
support system in the following Section.
The site development recommendations outlined below are intended for development of
the site to support construction with a shallow w-section pile system. If a different type
of foundation system is preferred, Building & Earth should be allowed to review the
site development recommendations to verify that they are appropriate for the
preferred foundation system.
The primary geotechnical concerns for this project are:
Presence of moisture sensitive soils encountered across the site.
The presence of low consistency soils encountered across the site within the upper
2 to 4 feet at locations B-18, B-30, and B-31.
Highly plastic clay (USCS CH) and Elastic Silt (MH) that will present challenges with
construction and maintenance roads near test borings B-11, B-22 , B-24, B-25, B-29,
B-31 through B-34.
The presence of dense overburden soil, and shallow partially weathered rock that
will not allow the small pile sections (W6x7 and W6x9) to be driven without
damage.
Recommendations addressing the site conditions are presented in the following sections.
4.1 MOISTURE SENSITIVE SOILS
Moisture sensitive soils were encountered in every soil boring during our subsurface
exploration. These soils will degrade if allowed to become saturated. Therefore, not
allowing water to pond by maintaining positive drainage and temporary dewatering
methods (if required) is important to help avoid degradation and softening of the soils.
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
McBride Solar BV2 Facility, Concord, North Carolina
Project No: RD170385, April 16, 2018
Page | 11
The contractor should anticipate some difficulty during the earthwork phase of this
project if moisture levels are moderate to high during construction. Increased moisture
levels will soften the subgrade and the soils may become unstable under the influence of
construction traffic. Accordingly, construction during wet weather conditions should be
avoided, as this could result in soft and unstable soil conditions that would require ground
modification, such as in place stabilization or undercutting.
4.2 LOW CONSISTENCY SOILS
Low consistency soils (N≤6) were encountered in the upper 24 inches at boring locations
B-18 and B-30, and to a depth of about 4.5 feet in test boring B-31. Low consistency soils
will present difficult mobility across the site, especially after rain events. Because the
depth of embedment of both foundation support systems is below 5 feet, we have not
addressed these soils as a potential hazard in the panel field. However, if these soils are
encountered within access roads (either construction or permanent), it is likely that they
will need to be undercut and replaced with compacted structural fill. Areas to be repaired
should be identified during proofrolling.
We recommend that the project geotechnical engineer or a qualified representative
evaluate the subgrade after the site is prepared. Some unsuitable or unstable areas may
be present in unexplored areas of the site. All areas that will require fill or that will support
structures should be carefully proofrolled with a heavy (40,000 # minimum), rubber-tired
vehicle at the following times.
After an area has been stripped, and undercut if required, prior to the
placement of any fill.
After grading an area to the finished subgrade elevation in a building or
pavement area.
After areas have been exposed to any precipitation, and/or have been exposed
for more than 48 hours.
Some instability may exist during construction, depending on climatic and other factors
immediately preceding and during construction. If any soft or otherwise unsuitable soils
are identified during the proofrolling process, they must be undercut or stabilized prior
to fill placement, pavement construction, or floor slab construction. All unsuitable material
identified during the construction shall be removed and replaced in accordance with the
Structural Fill section of this report.

4.3 HIGHLY PLASTIC AND ELASTIC SOILS
Based on the laboratory test results, the naturally occurring soils located near test borings
B-11, B-22, B-24, B-25, B-29, B-31 through B-34 encountered at the site consists of highly
plastic clay (CH) and elastic silt (MH). Construction of roads in these areas will be difficult.
When wet, these soil types will lose shear strength, and become unstable under
construction traffic.
In roadways, the highly plastic clays and elastic silts may require undercut and
replacement with suitable structural fill. The undercut can be limited to a depth of 12
inches below the finished subgrade elevation provided the soils are stable. The undercut
material should be replaced with structural fill meeting the requirements outlined in the
Structural Fill section of this report.
The undercutting should be conducted under the observation of the geotechnical
engineer or his representative. Weather conditions at the time of construction will affect
the undercutting depths and quantities. Some instability may exist during construction,
depending on climatic and other factors immediately preceding and during construction.
4.4 STRUCTURAL FILL
Although the site is not expected to have any fill placement, underground utilities are be
expected and assumed will be compacted with hand operated equipment.

Placement requirements for structural fill are as follows:
Specification Requirement
Lift Thickness Maximum 8-inch loose thickness, except
Maximum 6-inch loose thickness for hand operated equipment.
Fill and Backfill Density 95% of ASTM D698 MDD, for utilities
100% of ASTM D698 for roadway subgrade soils
Moisture ±2.5 percent of Optimum Moisture Content for SM and SC materials
Density Testing Frequency Utilities: 1 test per 150 LF/lift
Roadways: 1 Test per 250 LF/lift
Table 7: Structural Fill Placement Requirements
4.5 EXCAVATION CONSIDERATIONS
All excavations performed at the site should follow OSHA guidelines for temporary
excavations. Excavated soils should be stockpiled according to OSHA regulations to limit
the potential cave-in of soils.
4.6 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was not encountered in any of the test borings at the time of drilling. It
should be noted that fluctuations in the water level could occur due to seasonal variations
in rainfall. The contractor must be prepared to remove groundwater seepage from
excavations if encountered during construction. Excavations extending below
groundwater levels will require dewatering systems (such as well points, sump pumps or
trench drains). The contractor should evaluate the most economical and practical
dewatering method.
4.7 UTILITY TRENCH BACKFILL
All utility trenches must be backfilled and compacted in the manner specified above for
structural fill. It may be necessary to reduce the lift thickness to 4 to 6 inches to achieve
compaction using hand-operated equipment.
4.8 WET WEATHER CONSTRUCTION
Excessive movement of construction equipment across the site during wet weather may
result in ruts, which will collect rainwater, prolonging the time required to dry the
subgrade soils.
During rainy periods, additional effort will be required to properly prepare the site and
establish/maintain an acceptable subgrade. Grading contractors typically postpone
grading operations during wet weather to wait for conditions that are more favorable.
Contractors can typically disk or aerate the upper soils to promote drying during
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
McBride Solar BV2 Facility, Concord, North Carolina
Project No: RD170385, April 16, 2018
Page | 14
intermittent periods of favorable weather. When deadlines restrict postponement of
grading operations, additional measures such as undercutting and replacing saturated
soils or stabilization can be utilized to facilitate placement of additional fill material.
5.0 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Specific structural loading conditions were not provided at the time of this report;
however, we understand the individual solar panels will likely be supported on deep
foundations. Based on information provided by Taney Engineering LLC, we understand
that a driven steel w-section piles will be used to support the new panel arrays. However,
because the soils at the site are dense and shallow refusal is expected, we have provided
the following recommendations:
1. Piles driven to the required depth in overburden soils
2. Piles set into drilled concrete shafts where undriveable materials are encountered
and the lateral support cannot be developed.
5.1 DRIVEN W-SECTION PILES
We expect that there will be areas of the site where the W6x7 and W6x9 piles can be
driven to capacity through the overburden soils. The following loading was evaluated the
A-Pile computer program for various w-section piles.
Lateral support will likely control for the determination of the minimum depth of
embedment for the piles. Because some disturbance is expected in the near surface soils,
it will be important to perform load testing to determine its effect on uplift and lateral
support. Adequate load testing should be performed across the site to properly
characterize the expected support conditions during construction.
Based on the soil conditions encountered in our test borings, the minimum depth of
embedment to achieve axial, lateral and uplift support is expected to range from 4 to 8
feet below the existing grades. In the event that any piles are not able to be advanced to
at least 4 feet, we recommend that these piles be load tested to confirm uplift and lateral
support is available.

For piles that are installed into the overburden soils, without encountering partially
weathered rock (refusal), the following support values are provided for your use.
Table 8: Pile Capacities in Overburden Soils
*The capacities provided represent ultimate capacities, no safety factor has been applied.
We understand the project structural engineer has requested soil data parameters that
can be used for their L-Pile analysis. The following table of soil parameters is provided
for the overburden soils.
Table 9: L-Pile Soil Parameters
At the time that this report was prepared the installation equipment was not available.
Once the equipment is determined, a driveability analysis should be performed to
determine practical refusal. Practical refusal should be identified as a drive rate
(distance/blows) that will achieve the required capacity and not damage the pile during
installation. The depth to refusal is estimated by considering the conditions encountered
in the field, but the depth to bedrock or sufficiently hard stratum can vary and will require
some adaptation during construction. Pile group effects can be neglected if a minimum
spacing of 2.5D is used.
Pile driving hammers used to drive foundation piles should be selected according to pile
type, length, size, weight of pile, and the potential vibrations resulting from pile driving
operations. Care should be taken to assure that the hammer selected is capable of
achieving the desired penetration without causing damage to the piles or causing

excessive vibrations which could damage existing, nearby structures. Generally,
experience of the local contractor is often the primary source for the selection of the
hammer.
The driving criteria should be established at the time of construction based on the
characteristics of the pile driving hammer used and the required pile capacity. Each pile
should be driven to the desired tip elevation and driving resistance should be monitored
without interruption in the driving operations.
We recommend that the pile driving be monitored by the geotechnical engineer or his
representative. Sometimes, premature refusal occurs due to poor performance of the
hammer rather than from soil resistance. Any changes in hammer blow counts should be
carefully examined before making any decisions about the pile penetration.
Accurate records of the final tip elevation and driving resistances should be obtained
during the pile driving operations. Supplemental techniques like pile holes or jetting may
reduce the pile capacity and should be avoided. Some pile heaving may be experienced
during installation of adjacent displacement type piles. It is therefore recommended that
the tip elevation of the pile be recorded and if significant heave is noted after driving
subsequent piles, provisions must be made for reseating them.
Proper site preparation, construction techniques, and quality control are critical to the
integrity of the deep foundation system. These construction efforts should be monitored
and documented by a representative of the geotechnical engineer.
5.2 DRILLED PIERS
Where dense overburden soils, or PWR is encountered, and the piles cannot be driven to
the minimum depth, and the lateral capacity is not developed, drilled piers can be used
to support the piles. Drilled piers should be extended through the overburden soils and
into the PWR layer. Using this approach, an auger is used to excavate soil; and rock
removal techniques are used to remove broken or discontinuous rock to reach a
competent bearing stratum. The excavation is kept open using temporary casing, which
is removed as concrete is placed in the shaft to complete the foundation.
A design decision to be addressed when using rock sockets is whether to neglect one or
the other component of resistance (side or base), for the purpose of evaluating the drilled
pier capacity. It is our opinion that the use of drilled piers sized for only side friction is
appropriate for the site for the following reason:
Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Evaluation,
McBride Solar BV2 Facility, Concord, North Carolina
Project No: RD170385, April 16, 2018
Page | 17
The drilled pier base will bear in partially weathered rock. The characteristics of
the rock is unknown. This includes compressive strength of the rock, the presence
of voids, and/or the presence of soft soil seams.
The depth to the PWR surface varies from about 3 to 15 feet below the surface. PWR rock
excavation will be required in order to prepare a level bearing surface for the drilled piers
and to provide adequate uplift resistance. The amount of rock excavated will vary at any
particular location. The amount of rock excavation required to achieve a suitable bearing
condition will have a major impact on the foundation construction costs. For preliminary
budgeting purposes, we recommend that rock excavation quantities averaging twice the
pier diameter be used in areas of competent rock. A concrete overage factor of 1.2 times
the neat shaft volume should also be used. A factor of safety of 3.0 was used for the drilled
pier analysis. The recommended minimum pier diameter is 10 inches. The following table
summarizes the design parameters for drilled piers bearing in partially weathered rock:
Parameter Value
Allowable End Bearing Pressure 5 ksf
Allowable Skin Friction for Uplift Resistance 0.5 ksf (concrete in weathered rock
socket)
Minimum Spacing 3 x Pier Diameter
Group Reduction Factor None*
* We understand that pier groups will not be used.
Table 10: Design Parameters for 10 to 12-inch Diameter Drilled Piers
A Building & Earth engineer or qualified representative should observe the installation of
production piers to check that the installation criteria are implemented. Bearing
elevations will be adjusted based on actual conditions encountered. Alternative
recommendations can be provided if anomalous or unforeseen conditions occur.
The analysis of uplift effects was not included in our scope of services. The length and
diameter required to resist uplift loads should be determined by the structural engineer
of record, applying the provided skin friction uplift resistance. We understand that the
lateral evaluation of the drilled pier will be performed by the structural engineer. Soil
parameters to be used for the evaluation of individual pier behavior under lateral loading
conditions can be provided if this option is selected. The soil parameters were estimated
based on visual inspection of the soil and rock samples, laboratory test results, SPT N-
values and engineering judgment.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGIES
The subsurface exploration, which is the basis of the recommendations of this report, has
been performed in accordance with industry standards. Detailed methodologies employed
in the investigation are presented in the following sections.
DRILLING PROCEDURES – STANDARD PENETRATION TEST (ASTM D1586)
At each boring location, soil samples were obtained at standard sampling intervals with a
split-spoon sampler. The borehole was first advanced to the sample depth by augering and
the sampling tools were placed in the open hole. The sampler was then driven 18 inches
into the ground with a 140-pound automatic hammer free-falling 30 inches. The number
of blows required to drive the sampler each 6-inch increment was recorded. The initial
increment is considered the “seating” blows, where the sampler penetrates loose or
disturbed soil in the bottom of the borehole.
The blows required to penetrate the final two (2) increments are added together and are
referred to as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) N-value. The N-value, when properly
evaluated, gives an indication of the soil’s strength and ability to support structural loads.
Many factors can affect the SPT N-value, so this result cannot be used exclusively to evaluate
soil conditions.
The SPT testing was performed using a drill rig equipped with an automatic hammer.
Automatic hammers mechanically control the height of the hammer drop, and doing so,
deliver higher energy efficiency (90 to 99 % efficiency) than manual hammers (60 %
efficiency) which are dropped using a manually operated rope and cathead system. Because
historic data correlations were developed based on use of a manual hammer, it is necessary
to adjust the N-values obtained using an automatic hammer to make these correlations
valid. Therefore, an energy correction factor of 1.3 was applied to the recorded field N-values
from the automatic hammer for the purpose of our evaluation. The N-values discussed or
mentioned in this report and shown on the boring logs are recorded field values.
Samples retrieved from the boring locations were labeled and stored in plastic bags at the
jobsite before being transported to our laboratory for analysis. The project engineer
prepared Boring Logs summarizing the subsurface conditions at the boring locations.
BULK SAMPLING
Bulk sample are obtained for the evaluation of the compaction characteristics of the site soils
and for determination of the California Bearing Ratio (CBR). The bulk samples are obtained
from manual excavations, backhoe test pits, or from auger cutting. Similar soils are normally
combined to provide samples of adequate size for compaction or CBR testing.
FIELD SOIL THERMAL RESISTIVITY (ASTM 5334)
Field soil thermal resistivity testing is performed for in-situ soil that is accessed using a hand
auger boring. A four (4) inch diameter boring is advanced approximately 2 to 3 feet below
the ground surface, and the thermal probe is inserted into the sidewall of the boring. The
thermal resistivity measurements represent the soils in-situ moisture content of the soils at
the time of testing.
BORING LOG DESCRIPTION
Building & Earth Sciences, Inc. used the gINT software program to prepare the attached boring
logs. The gINT program provides the flexibility to custom design the boring logs to include
the pertinent information from the subsurface exploration and results of our laboratory
analysis. The soil and laboratory information included on our logs is summarized below:
DEPTH AND ELEVATION
The depth below the ground surface and the corresponding elevation are shown in the first
two columns.
SAMPLE TYPE
The method used to collect the sample is shown. The typical sampling methods include Split
Spoon Sampling, Shelby Tube Sampling, Grab Samples, and Rock Core. A key is provided at
the bottom of the log showing the graphic symbol for each sample type.
SAMPLE NUMBER
Each sample collected is numbered sequentially.
BLOWS PER INCREMENT, REC%, RQD%
When Standard Split Spoon sampling is used, the blows required to drive the sampler each 6-
inch increment are recorded and shown in column 5. When rock core is obtained the recovery
ration (REC%) and Rock Quality Designation (RQD%) is recorded.
SOIL DATA
Column 6 is a graphic representation of four different soil parameters. Each of the parameters
use the same graph, however, the values of the graph subdivisions vary with each parameter.
Each parameter presented on column 6 is summarized below:
N-value- The Standard Penetration Test N-value, obtained by adding the number of
blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches, is recorded. The graph labels
range from 0 to 50.
Qu – Unconfined Compressive Strength estimate from the Pocket Penetrometer test in
tons per square foot (tsf). The graph labels range from 0 to 5 tsf.
Atterberg Limits – The Atterberg Limits are plotted with the plastic limit to the left, and
liquid limit to the right, connected by a horizontal line. The difference in the plastic and
liquid limits is referred to as the Plasticity Index. The Atterberg Limits test results are
also included in the Remarks column on the far right of the boring log. The Atterberg
Limits graph labels range from 0 to 100%.
Moisture – The Natural Moisture Content of the soil sample as determined in our
laboratory.
SOIL DESCRIPTION

Building & Earth Sciences classifies soil in general
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification
System (USCS) presented in ASTM D2487. Table 1
and Figure 1 exemplify the general guidance of
the USCS. Soil consistencies and relative densities
are presented in general accordance with
Terzaghi, Peck, & Mesri’s (1996) method, as
shown on Table 2, when quantitative field and/or
laboratory data is available. Table 2 includes
Consistency and Relative Density correlations
with N-values obtained using either a manual
hammer (60 percent efficiency) or automatic
hammer (90 percent efficiency). The Blows Per
Increment and SPT N-values displayed on the
boring logs are the unaltered values measured in
the field. When field and/or laboratory data is not
available, we may classify soil in general

LABORATORY TEST PROCEDURES
A brief description of the laboratory tests performed is provided in the following sections.
DESCRIPTION OF SOILS (VISUAL-MANUAL PROCEDURE) (ASTM D2488)
The soil samples were visually examined by our engineer and soil descriptions were
provided. Representative samples were then selected and tested in accordance with the
aforementioned laboratory-testing program to determine soil classifications and
engineering properties. This data was used to correlate our visual descriptions with the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
POCKET PENETROMETER
Pocket Penetrometer tests were performed on cohesive soil samples. The pocket
penetrometer provides a consistency classification, and an indication of the soils unconfined
compressive strength (Qu).
NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT (ASTM D2216)
Natural moisture contents (M%) were determined on selected samples. The natural moisture
content is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the weight of water in a given amount of
soil to the weight of solid particles.
ATTERBERG LIMITS (ASTM D4318)
The Atterberg Limits test was performed to evaluate the soil’s plasticity characteristics. The soil
Plasticity Index (PI) is representative of this characteristic and is bracketed by the Liquid Limit
(LL) and the Plastic Limit (PL). The Liquid Limit is the moisture content at which the soil will
flow as a heavy viscous fluid. The Plastic Limit is the moisture content at which the soil is
between “plastic” and the semi-solid stage. The Plasticity Index (PI = LL - PL) is a frequently
used indicator for a soil’s potential for volume change. Typically, a soil’s potential for volume
change increases with higher plasticity indices.
MATERIAL FINER THAN NO. 200 SIEVE BY WASHING (ASTM D1140)
Grain-size tests were performed to determine the partial soil particle size distribution. The
amount of material finer than the openings on the No. 200 sieve (0.075 mm) was determined
by washing soil over the No. 200 sieve. The results of wash #200 tests are presented on the
boring logs included in this report and in the table of laboratory test results.
EXPANSION INDEX OF SOILS (ASTM D4829)
The expansion index of the soils was determined to provide an indication of the swelling
potential of a compacted soil. The test method is not used to duplicate any particular field
conditions such as soil density, water content, loading, in-place soil structure, or soil water
chemistry, but rather it is used to provide a qualitative classification of potential expansion in
the soil. The following table provides a qualitative expression of the expansion index.
Expansion Index, EI Potential Expansion
0-20 Very Low
21-50 Low
51-90 Medium
91-130 High
>130 Very High
STANDARD PROCTOR COMPACTION TEST (ASTM D698)
Standard Proctor compaction tests were performed to determine the maximum dry density
and optimum moisture content for the soil, for use as a comparative basis during fill placement.
The Standard Proctor test consists of the compaction of soil with known moisture content into
a steel mold of fixed height and diameter. The soil is compacted in the mold in three lifts of
equal volume using a 5.5 lb. manual hammer with a 12-inch free fall, to produce a consistent
compactive effort. The test procedure is repeated on samples at several different moisture
contents until a curve showing the relationship between moisture content and dry density of
the soil is established. From this curve, the maximum dry density (peak density value) and
optimum moisture content (moisture content correlating to the maximum dry density) are
obtained.
ONE-DIMENSTIONAL SWELL TEST (ASTM D4546)
One-dimensional swell tests are performed on relatively undisturbed samples extruded
from samples collected during the field exploration. The one-dimensional swell test
provides indication of the potential vertical rise (PVR) due to swelling of subgrade soils with
additional moisture content. The sample was trimmed and placed in a consolidometer
where a seating load was applied. The consolidometer restrains lateral movement of the
soil. The sample is provided access to free water and allowed to swell under the seating
load. The expansion (swell) of the soil is recorded for the duration of the saturation
period. A summary of the results from the Swell tests are presented later in the Appendix.
UNCONFINED COMPRESSION TEST ON SOIL SAMPLES (ASTM D2166)
Unconfined compressive strength tests are performed on relatively undisturbed samples
extruded from Shelby tubes. The unconfined compressive strength test provides indication of
the approximate strength of cohesive soils in terms of total stresses. A tube sample is
extruded and trimmed square to prepare a specimen with length to diameter ratio between
2.0 and 2.5. The specimen is placed in a loading device and subjected to a uniaxial
compressive load. Load and deformation readings were recorded during each test. The
sample is loaded until the load values decrease with increasing strain, or until the sample has
experienced 15% strain. The unconfined compressive strength (Qu) is reported as the
maximum stress value or stress value recorded at 15% strain, whichever occurred first.
TRIAXIAL SHEAR TEST (CONSOLIATED-UNDRAINED) (ASTM D4767)
Triaxial Shear tests are used to determine the shear strength of soil samples under various
loading conditions. A consolidated-undrained triaxial shear test was completed on a
relatively undisturbed sample extruded from a Shelby tube. The data from this test was
used in analyzing the shear strength parameters of the soil. Portions of the samples were
placed in six (6) inch long tube molds and then subjected to deviator stresses at different
confining pressures. The various confining pressures help determine the shear strength of
the soil at different depths.
LABORATORY SOIL RESISTIVITY (ASTM G57)
Soil resistivity testing is performed in the lab to determine the soils resistance to electrical
current. Resistivity measurements were recorded using a Miller 400A analog resistance
meter. The Wenner four-electrode soil resistivity method (ASTM G57) was performed using
the Miller Soil Box. The field resistivity results ate presented in a table later in the Appendix.
LABORATORY SOIL THERMAL RESISTIVITY (ASTM 5334)
Laboratory soil thermal resistivity testing is performed for remolded soil specimens using a
consistent density and variable moisture contents. Thermal resistivity measurements were
made for each soil in a dry condition (0 percent moisture), 50 percent of the materials
optimum moisture content, and 100% of the materials optimum moisture content. The
varied moisture condition provides the reduction of thermal capacity of the soil, as the
moisture condition of the sample is increased.
