EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Based on our analyses of the subsurface conditions and the proposed loading conditions, we have estimated total settlements to be on the order of 0.6 to 1 inch with the structural loads provided. These estimated totals would be considered to be the total settlement experienced following the construction of each individual footing (some of which are already in place). However, as the building loads are applied to the footings, primary settlement would begin. Based on the assumption that the roof loads and floor slabs final construction would be completed over time and that the majority of the dead loads would be applied to the footings by the time the roof is constructed, we estimate that total settlements following the completion of the roof and floor slabs (post-construction) would be on the order of 0.5 to 0.75 inches over the life of the structure (Assumed 20 years). In our opinion, supporting the structure on the existing footings and new footing where required is the most economical building support option. Based on the subsurface conditions and our understanding of the proposed construction, the primary geotechnical considerations associated with the proposed retail building development are summarized below.

Environmental Development Restrictions: Earthwork at the site will be significantly affected by the development restrictions currently in place by Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Therefore, building elements should be planned so that native soils in this area will not be disturbed or disturbed as little as practical. It is not the intent of this report to address environmental contamination and/or site restrictions for development due to environmental contamination.

Seismic Settlements: Based on our analyses for liquefaction of the non-plastic soils and strain-softening of the clay soils, we estimate that about 2 to 3 inches of seismic related settlements could be experienced by the building during a code (2009 International Building Code) defined design level earthquake. The upper 20 to 25 feet of soils at the site are predominately clay type materials with intermittent non-plastic soils that are very thin (less than about 18 inches in thickness). Therefore, the majority of the liquefaction settlements is greater than 20 feet bgs and is not likely to cause bearing capacity loss. However, some excessive strain (accounted for in the 2 to 3 inches) will likely occur due to cyclic softening of the clay-like materials. Based on our previous experience with the Retailer on similar projects, we understand that these settlements are typically tolerable by the building without collapse and can be accommodated for in the structural design.

Foundations: The building may be supported on the existing and new conventional continuous and isolated spread footings bearing directly on structural fill. Existing foundations are supported on about 1-foot of granular fill. New footings within the existing building pad should be supported on a minimum of 1-foot of granular fill and new footings in

the loading dock expansion should be supported on a minimum of 2-feet of granular fill. Structural fill and footing subgrades should be prepared in accordance with the 4.2 Earthwork section of this report.

Near Surface Soils with Shrink/Swell Potential: The low to medium plasticity native soils

in the upper several feet have a moderate to high shrink/swell potential and must be carefully prepared, moisture conditioned, and protected from disturbance, moisture intrusion, and drying. Based on laboratory test results, we recommend a minimum of 2 feet of granular (non-plastic) soils underneath floor slabs and 1-foot of granular fill underneath footings in order to limit the maximum potential vertical rise tolerance of 1-inch by the Retailer. It appears from our explorations that the existing granular fill pad conditions are in accordance with these recommendations.

Floor Slabs: Based on the available information, the originally proposed floor slab was designed for a modulus of subgrade reaction, k, of 100 pci. This subgrade modulus does not meet the Retailer’s design requirement of 150 pci. However, based on our explorations and the fact that a minimum of about 2 feet of crushed aggregate is in place, we estimate that the 150 pci design requirement would be met with the existing subsurface conditions. Furthermore, we estimate that, based on the swell testing of the site soils that the potential vertical rise (PVR) is below the retailer’s maximum tolerance of 1-inch.

Dewatering: Relatively shallow groundwater conditions were observed in the borings. Deep utilities into the groundwater, which are reported to be at depths of 8 feet or about 10 feet below finished floor elevation, may require special handling and disposal due to the environmental restrictions. We would expect dewatering to be necessary in the retailer’s deep sanitary sewer lines. The environmental reports (under separate cover) should be reviewed and discussed with the regulatory agency prior to dewatering activities.

Moisture Sensitivity Soils and Wet Weather: The near surface native soils at the site

are fine-grained by nature and will be very moisture sensitive. Therefore, the site soils will be difficult or impossible to compact as structural fill especially when wet weather prevails. The ability to use native soils from site excavations as structural fill should not be planned without amendment. Unstable subgrade conditions could develop during general construction operations, particularly if the soils are wetted and/or subjected to repetitive construction traffic. Stabilization measures will need to be employed should unstable subgrade conditions develop.

This summary should be used in conjunction with the entire report for design purposes. It should be recognized that 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 GENERAL COMMENTS section should be read for an understanding of the report limitation.

FINAL GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT PROPOSED RETAIL DEVELOPMENT

CORVALLIS, OREGON Project No. 82115010A

June 21, 2012

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This geotechnical engineering report has been completed for the Proposed Retail Development located in Corvallis, Oregon. Previously, Terracon prepared a Preliminary Geotechnical Review Services letter dated April 14, 2011. The current effort consisted of completing geotechnical explorations, laboratory testing, and preparing an engineering report for this project. The purpose of the geotechnical engineering evaluation was to provide information and geotechnical engineering conclusions and recommendations relative to:

subsurface soil conditions groundwater conditions earthwork foundation design and construction seismic considerations floor slab design and construction lateral earth parameters truck route only pavement design

This report has been prepared in general accordance with the Retailer’s Subsurface Investigation Specifications and Report Requirements dated September 22, 2011. This evaluation does not include quantitative or qualitative characterization of regulated environmental contaminants. However, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and Limited Site Investigation report was completed concurrently by Terracon and submitted to PACLAND under separate cover (Terracon Project No. 82117017 and 82117009A, respectively). The site and exploration plans and logs of the explorations completed for the project are presented in Appendix A. The results of the laboratory testing performed on select soil samples are included in Appendix B of this report. Soil classification information sheets are included in Appendix C. Project Figures and Supporting Documents are provided in Appendices D and E, respectively.

2.0 SITE AND PROJECT INFORMATION

The site is generally undeveloped with the exception of a partially constructed foundation for a retail building in generally the same footprint location of the proposed retail building. The foundation was constructed in the 2008 timeframe and has not been completed since that time. The majority of the perimeter footings and interior footings with stem walls up to about the anticipated floor slab elevation have been constructed. The site contains grass covering of the

majority of the site, even the portion of the site that appears to have been previously stripped of surface topsoil. 2.1 Site Location and Description

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Location The site is located near the southwest corner of NW 9th Street and NW Spruce Avenue in Corvallis, Oregon.

Site boundaries

North: Northwest Spruce Avenue right-of-way and commercial/retail development further north. East: Existing OfficeMax building, asphalt pavements, a bank further east and NW 9th Street further east. South: Currently undeveloped land immediately south (with the proposed strip retail development) and multi-family residential further south. West: Single family residential development.

Site area dimensions The project site is generally the proposed building footprint, loading dock area, and appurtenances (about 40,000 square feet in total) of the larger retail development shown on the site plan.

Existing improvements

The site is currently partially developed with recently constructed footings for a roughly 30,000 SF retail building on the north portion of the site. Construction on the building was ceased in 2008. We understand that up to 5 smaller buildings along the south edge of the site were planned, but were not constructed.

Current ground cover

The site is currently covered with grass and scattered soil stockpiles, as shown on Exhibit A-2 Site Aerial Photo and Sketch. An area with woven geotextile fabric at the ground surface is located in the eastern portion of the site. Several gravel construction roads are located throughout the site.

Existing topography The site is relatively flat with overall topographic relief on the order of 2 to 3 feet (not including the soil stockpiles) generally down towards the northeast.

2.2 Project Description

ITEM DESCRIPTION Site Layout See Appendix A, Exhibit A-1, Site and Exploration Plan.

Structures The project will include a new one-story commercial retail building and loading dock with a proposed total footprint of approximately 36,000 SF. The building will either be constructed over the existing

ITEM DESCRIPTION foundations, or in the same approximate footprint.

Building construction

We have assumed that the retail building will be similar to a prototype store in construction. Typical construction consists of masonry block load bearing and non-load bearing walls, steel columns, girders, and joists for support of the roof structure, and on-grade cast-in-place floor slabs.

Finished floor elevation Currently planned at elevation 227.50 feet based on the below-referenced grading plan provided to us.

Maximum loads (provided by structural engineer)

Interior Columns: 58 kips dead load and 130.5 kips dead and snow load. Exterior Columns: 29 kips dead load and 123 kips dead and snow load. Walls: 2.5 klf non-load bearing and 2.5 klf dead load and 4.25 klf dead and snow loads for load bearing. Slabs: 125 psf uniform loading and 5-kip concentrated loading max.

Maximum allowable settlement (from Report requirements)

Total Static Settlement: ¾-inch Masonry Walls: L/900 or about ½- inch over 40 feet Maximum Allowable Seismic Settlement: 2 to 3 inches (Assumed based on similar projects per PACLAND) Maximum Allowable Potential Vertical Rise: 1-inch

Grading

Minor fills, including pavement section materials, on the order of 1 to 2 feet are anticipated across the majority of the site. We understand that excavations and replacement of a “soil disposal area” may be part of the overall development. However, this area is not part of our evaluation.

Cut and fill slopes None over 2 feet expected. Free-standing retaining walls None expected.

Below Grade Areas Loading dock ramp area, assumed to be about 4 feet below finished grade.

Pavements

We understand that no pavement improvements are the responsibility of the Retailer. Therefore, we have only considered the truck route pavements and loading dock pavements as part of our evaluation as a guide to the site developer. We have utilized the following loading conditions:

Heavy-Duty ESALS 211,700 Design Life = 20 years Minimum Thicknesses = 4 inches AC and 6 inches PCC

Off-site Improvements None anticipated as part of the Retailer’s responsibility.

2.3 Site Reconnaissance As part of our scope of work, we completed a site reconnaissance on April 12, 2011 during the preliminary evaluation and several during the current evaluation in August, September and November of 2011. All site features shown on the attached Site Sketch were visually estimated and are shown for discussion purposes only. A summary of observations are below.

LOCATION OBSERVATIONS

Building Pad

The proposed building pad appears to be shallow foundations constructed with cast-in-place concrete footings with masonry block stem-walls. There appears to be continuous perimeter wall footings and individual column pads in the interior of the building. The interior surface appears to be graded with crushed gravel for slab-on-grade floors. No walls were observed to have been constructed, but several pallets of masonry blocks were observed near the building pad.

Parking Area In general, the parking area appears to be covered with gravel near the building, and grass in other areas.

Site and Adjacent Property Features

The south half of the development site is covered with several soil stockpiles in the approximate locations shown on Exhibit A-2, which we understand from our concurrent environmental study to be excavation spoils from both topsoil stripping and footing excavations. An area covered with woven geotextile fabric was also observed in the southeastern portion of the site. The site is currently a closed construction site and is fenced off with temporary chain-link fencing. The adjacent properties to the east include an Office Max building and parking lot and an OSU Federal Credit Union building and parking lot. The adjacent properties to the west include a Grace Center for Adult Care Services building and parking lot and single-family residences. The adjacent properties to the south include multi-family residences and several small retail/commercial buildings. A strip mall is located across NW Spruce Avenue to the north.

DOCUMENT RELEVANT INFORMATION SUMMARY

(1) GeoDesign geotechnical report

The geotechnical report for the partially constructed building foundation in the northwest portion of the site provided the most relevant geotechnical data for the site and is the basis for the majority of our discussion. Explorations and Subsurface Conditions: The geotechnical report relied entirely on explorations and laboratory testing by others, including:

7 test pit logs from 1998 by Redmond & Associates 9 test pit logs from 2007 by Foundation Engineering Inc. 1 monitoring well boring from 1998 by MFA

Numerous other explorations, including cone penetrometer test (CPT) probes, in the vicinity of the project were mentioned in the report, including those performed by GeoDesign, but were not included or appended to the report provided to us. The report describes the subsurface soil conditions to generally be “consistent” with a 12- to 18-inch thick layer of disturbed native soil (i.e., tilled zone) or gravel fill. Underlying the fill/disturbed native soils typically consisting of interbedded soft to very stiff silt and clay to a depth of approximately 20 to 25 feet below the ground surface (bgs). The soils are reportedly highly plastic near the surface and become less plastic with depth. Medium dense to dense, gray, moist, sand with silt was reportedly encountered below the silt and clay zone in the environmental borings by MFA and CPT probes (not on the site). Interbedded medium dense to very dense gravel and sand was reportedly encountered below a depth of approximately 33 feet bgs in boring MW-10. Groundwater conditions were reported to have been encountered in various explorations at depths between approximately 15 and 23 feet bgs. GeoDesign’s review of water well logs indicated static water levels in the area are between 8 and 15 feet. Seismic Hazards: GeoDesign reported that based on their research and the fine-grained nature of the subsurface soils encountered in their explorations, it was their opinion that there is a low potential for seismic hazards such as liquefaction, lateral spreading, or fault rupture affecting the site. GeoDesign classified the site as Site Class “D” according to the 2006 International Building Code and 2004 Oregon Structural Specialty Code. Foundation Recommendations: For all the proposed buildings (except Building 600 to be constructed over a contaminated soil placement area), GeoDesign recommended shallow spread footings with a minimum embedment depth of 30 inches for exterior footings and 18 inches for interior footings due to the shrink/swell potential of the high plasticity surface soils. Allowable bearing pressures of 2,000 psf were recommended. Post-construction vertical movements (settlement or swell) of 1.5 inches total with differential movements of 0.75 inch over a span of 50 feet were estimated. Helical augers (piers) or pipe piles were recommended for support of Building 600

DOCUMENT RELEVANT INFORMATION SUMMARY since environmental restrictions (to be discussed later) do not allow excavation in that area. Floor Slab Recommendations: Slab-on-grade floor subgrades were recommended to be covered with 12 inches of imported granular fill as soon as possible after grading to prevent disturbance and/or excessive drying. Floor loads of 150 psf were anticipated, and a modulus of subgrade reaction, k, of 100 psi/in was recommended. Pavement Recommendations: Traffic volumes for the CCC Plaza development were much lower than the proposed Retailer’s ESALs. The CCC Plaza heavy duty pavement were designed for 130,000 ESALs (closest to the proposed Retailer’s standard duty pavement ESALs) and are summarized below: Heavy Duty Asphalt Concrete (AC): 4” AC over 13.5” aggregate base (AB) over “normal” subgrades and 17.5” AB over “Soil Placement Area” (i.e., contaminated area where no excavation is allowed). Cement amended areas were reported to be designed for 4” AC over 7.5” AB over 12” cement amended subgrade for heavy duty traffic. Portland Cement Concrete (PCC): 6” PCC over 8” AB for loading docks and crosswalks. A design California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test was not performed, but several resilient modulus values were assumed depending on the pavement area and whether cement amendment was to be performed. It should be noted that the above pavement section recommendations were based on an Initial and Terminal Serviceability Index of 4.2 and 2.5, respectively, which varies from the proposed Retailer’s design requirements. Other Considerations: GeoDesign stated that a primary concern was the high plasticity and related shrink/swell potential of the near surface soils. Cement amendment is recommended by GeoDesign to reduce the shrink/swell potential of the soils. Earthwork would be further complicated by the environmental restrictions placed on earthwork at the site, as discussed in the following summary from the GeoDesign report:

Soil excavated from the upper 15 feet shall not be transported off-site or shall be disposed of off-site in accordance with applicable hazardous waste regulations.

Soil within the “Soil Placement Area” shall not be disturbed. Soils greater than 15 feet bgs may not be exposed or excavated unless the material is “managed and disposed off the property in accordance with all applicable waste management regulations.”

Potable water shall be used for dust control during construction. Information on the environmental history of the site and DEQ development restrictions can be found in our concurrent Phase I ESA and Limited Site Investigation reports under separate covers.

DOCUMENT RELEVANT INFORMATION SUMMARY report Foundation Recommendations: Recommended shallow foundations supported

directly on medium stiff native clay or 1-foot of granular fill. Recommended allowable bearing pressures of 2,000 psf to 3,500 psf, respectively. Total settlement estimated was 1½ inches. Floor Slab Recommendations: Slab-on-grade floor subgrades were recommended to be covered with 6 inches of imported granular fill. A modulus of subgrade reaction, k, of 150 psi/in was recommended.

2.5 Climate Data Based on the local weather conditions described in the Climatic Atlas of the United States published by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Western Regional Climate Center, wet weather conditions at this site could be anticipated between about October through May. Weather data from the Western Region Climate Center (WRCC) states that the average annual precipitation at the Corvallis State University, Oregon (351862) station is approximately 40.96 inches. Between June and September the average monthly precipitation is about 0.89 inches while the average monthly precipitation between November and March is about 5.93 inches. Average annual snowfall is about 5.9 inches. A summary of relevant climate data for each month at the WRCC station is as follows:

3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

3.1 Published Geologic Literature Based on published geologic maps1,2 the geology underlying the site is mapped as fine-grained facies of the Quaternary outburst flood deposits, often referred to as “Willamette Silts.” This material is defined as interbedded fine sand, silt, and clay mixtures deposited by backwater from the outburst floods from Glacial Lake Missoula. These deposits are often semi-consolidated from desiccation and/or subsequent high flood waters and are generally 20 to 30 feet in thickness in the site vicinity. The Willamette silt deposit generally forms a relatively flat surface across the Willamette valley and is underlain by Middle terrace deposits that consist of sand, gravel, silt and clay mixtures. The terrace deposits are alluvial deposits from the Willamette River. In the vicinity of the site, the basin fills (Willamette silts and Middle terrace deposits) are reported to be on the order of about 100 to 150 feet below the ground surface. The basin fills are reported to be underlain by Eocene age (38 million years or older) sedimentary rock formations. In general, the soils encountered in the borings for this project are consistent with the geologic maps. Based on nearby well log data obtained from the Oregon Water Resources Department website available online and published geologic literature, the sands and gravels derived from the Middle terrace deposits are expected to be present to significant depths (+/-50 ft) and underlain by similarly dense granular and very stiff fine-grained materials to over 100 feet in depth. Therefore, it is our opinion that sufficient information is publically available regarding the soils at depths up to 100 feet bgs that a 100-foot boring is not necessary in order to classify the site soils for the seismic site classification. 3.1.1 Seismic Hazards The Oregon State of Oregon, Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, Interpretive Map Series, IMS-24, “Identified Landslides Hazard Map and Relative Earthquake-Induced Hazard Maps for Six Counties in the Mid/Southern Willamette Valley Including Yamhill, Marion, Polk, 1 Oregon Geologic Data Compilation (ODGC) – Release 5 of the Oregon Geologic Data Standard, compiled by Lina Ma, Ian P Madin, Keith V Olson, and Rudie J Watzig, published by Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (2009). 2 United States Geological Survey Professional Paper 1424-A - Geologic Framework of the Willamette Lowland Aquifer System, Oregon and Washington, Marshall W Gannett and Rodney R Caldwell, published by U.S. Geological Survey (1998)

Benton, Linn, and Lane Counties, Oregon” (2008) indicates that the project site is situated in an area with a low relative liquefaction hazard and a high relative ground-shaking amplification hazard area. The site vicinity is mapped as a low landslide hazard area. It should be noted that the “low” liquefaction hazard mapping designation is bracketed by “rare” and “very low” on the lower end and “moderate”, “high”, and “very high” on the higher end. The “low” designation may indicate a relatively thin layer(s) of liquefiable sediments in relation to the other categories. 3.1.2 Fault Rupture Hazards We reviewed the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program Quaternary Faults and Folds Database available online (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/qfaults/usmap.php). The nearest fault to the project site is the Owl Creek fault, approximately 3 miles east of the project site. According to this source, the fault has been mapped as a normal fault with an average strike of N5ºE and an Easterly dip direction. The fault is in the slip rate category of less than 0.2 mm/year. Based on the information described above, it is our opinion that the risk associated with surface rupture at the site is low. 3.2 Soil Conservation Publication Review The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service has published a series of soil surveys with typical soil properties located within each county of Oregon. Terracon reviewed the online version of the USDA Soil Conservation Service publication in Benton County, Oregon. One soil type is mapped across the site and is identified as Dayton Silt Loam.

Soil descriptions presented in this report are based on the subsurface conditions encountered at specific exploration locations across the site at the time the explorations were performed. The subsurface conditions encountered are summarized below while the interpretive logs of the explorations are presented in Appendix A. The approximate exploration locations are presented on the Site and Exploration Plan (Exhibit A-1). Descriptions of the field procedures and equipment used are presented in Appendix A along with the northings, eastings, and ground elevations of the boring locations. 3.4 Typical Profile Based on the results of the explorations, we have generalized the subsurface conditions within the proposed building pad as follows:

Variations in subsurface conditions may exist between the exploration locations and the nature and extent of variations between the explorations may not become evident until construction. Specific conditions encountered at each exploration location are indicated on the individual exploration logs. Stratification boundaries on the exploration logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil types; in-situ, the transition between materials may be gradual. Details

for each of the explorations can be found on the exploration logs included in Appendix A of this report. The borings completed for this project did not encounter buried debris. While borings did not encounter these materials, it does not preclude their presence on-site. Based on historic use of the site, remnant foundations or slabs, abandoned utilities, or other buried debris associated with the previous site use could be encountered. However, we do not expect significant amounts of these materials (aside from the constructed footings on-site) since we did not observe them on-site or encounter them in the explorations and the building pad has already been graded. 3.5 Groundwater Observations The borings were observed while drilling and after completion for the presence and level of groundwater. Some borings were able to be observed following a 24 hour period. In Boring B-1, a vibrating wire piezometer was grouted in-place within the borehole. A summarizing of the groundwater conditions in the current borings at the time of drilling is presented in the following table. Only the borings that encountered groundwater are summarized within the table.

and off-site factors not evident at the time the explorations were completed. The chart below shows groundwater elevation at the vibrating-wire piezometer.

Groundwater was not observed in the remaining borings while drilling, or for the short duration that the borings were allowed to remain open. However, this does not necessarily mean these borings terminated above groundwater, or that the water levels presented in the table above are stable groundwater levels. As shown in the chart, groundwater level fluctuations occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff and other factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. Therefore, groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the life of the structure may be higher or lower than the levels indicated on the boring logs. It should be noted that the groundwater levels reported above were measured at the end of summer and in the fall, which is typically associated with seasonal low ground water levels. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.

3.6 Laboratory Testing Note that due to environmental conditions of soils at the site, soil samples were not stored for the duration of the Retailer’s requirements. The soil samples were placed back at the site in the required soil stockpiles for re-use on the site. Samples retrieved during the field exploration programs were returned to the laboratory for observation by the project geotechnical engineer and were visually or manually classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System described in Appendix C. Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and are presented on the exploration logs and in Appendix B. Laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with the applicable local standards or other accepted standards. Note that due to environmental contamination of soils at the site, soil samples were not stored for the duration of the Retailer’s requirements. The soil samples were placed in the drums on-site for disposal.

3.6.2 Swell Test Series A series of swell tests were completed on one Shelby tube sample at in-situ moisture content and drier than in-situ moisture contents. The drier samples were tested for swell at various loading conditions prior to inundating the samples. The test results are presented in Appendix B and are summarized below.

7 / 28* 1.5%*

10 / 33 3%

* Sample consisted of silt seam within overall sample. Remaining samples consisted of lean clay.

Based on the results of the tests summarized above, we have estimated that the maximum swell from soils at the site being dried and then allowed to re-wet, varies from about 8 percent to 3 percent depending on the confining pressure. The soils were left out to dry in our laboratory with air flow over the sample for a little over 24 hours in order to allow the samples to dry. Therefore, we would consider these moisture contents to be near the lowest possible from soils being exposed to air during construction. Based on the moisture contents of the soils in-situ, the soils at depths greater than about one foot bgs would not be expected to dry to the extents tested. In our opinion, the maximum depth to possibly experience the level of drying in our laboratory tests is about 1 to 2 feet. 3.6.3 Soil Corrosion Potential Results of the pH and resistivity testing are presented below in the following table:

The electrical resistivity of each sample listed above was measured in the laboratory with distilled water added to create a standardized condition of saturation. Resistivities are at about their lowest value when the soil is saturated. Electrical resistivity of soils is a measure of their resistance to the flow of corrosion currents. Corrosion currents tend to be lower in high resistivity soils. The electrical resistivity of the soils varies primarily with its chemical and moisture contents. Typically, the lower the resistivity of native soils the more likely that galvanic current may develop and increase the possibility of corrosion. Based on laboratory test results, resistivity values for the near surface native soils ranged from approximately 2,000 to 2,300 ohm-cm. Soils with resistivity values below 2,000 ohm-cm are generally associated with soils classified as “very severe to severely corrosive” towards buried metal objects while soils with resistivity values between 2,000 and 5,000 ohm-cm are generally associated with soils classified as “corrosive”. The pH levels are considered to be essentially neutral and are generally associated with low corrosion rates in carbon steel. With respect to the need for protection of buried metal pipes, we recommend that the design engineers consult with the manufacturers of specific products in order to determine the need for protection. Based on the resistivity values, the existing site soils would be generally classified as “very severely corrosive to severely corrosive” towards buried metals and we recommend specifying non-metallic pipes where possible and consider protection wrapping. It is our opinion that Type I or Type II cement is suitable for this project.

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

4.1 Geotechnical Considerations The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated to develop geotechnical related design and construction recommendations for the proposed site development. Terracon prepared a DRAFT Initial Geotechnical Engineering Report for this project on September 30, 2011 and attended a subsequent project meeting with the PACLAND design team and the developer’s design team on October 24, 2011. New information relative to the project permitting requirements was presented and discussed during this meeting. We were provided a copy of a portion of the original geotechnical report for the permitted project prepared by Redmond and Associates and dated December 14, 1998. Following our project meeting, Terracon was provided revised building loads anticipated for this project by the project structural engineer (BCRA, Inc.). These loads were significantly less than the guideline loads presented in the Retailer’s geotechnical guidelines in the Subsurface Investigation Specifications and Report Requirements dated September 22, 2011. Therefore, supplemental explorations, laboratory testing, and engineering analyses were completed with the new information. Based on our analyses of the subsurface conditions and the proposed loading conditions, we have estimated total settlements to be on the order of 0.6 to 1 inch. These estimated totals would be considered to be the total settlement experienced following the construction of each individual footing (some of which are already in place). However, as the building loads are applied to the footings, primary settlement would begin. Based on the assumption that the roof loads and floor slabs final construction would be completed over time and that the majority of the dead loads would be applied to the footings by the time the roof is constructed, we estimate that total settlements following the completion of the roof and floor slabs (post-construction) would be on the order of 0.5 to 0.75 inches over the life of the structure (Assumed 20 years). Typically, in our experience, we have utilized the total estimated settlement in comparison to the Retailer’s requirements. However, this project is unique in that there are significant limitations in the existing building permit that prohibit certain footing modifications without obtaining new permits. In addition, we understand that if new permits are required, significant impacts to the project schedule (and possible project viability) would be experienced. Therefore, we recommend the retailer and the design team consider utilizing the existing foundations (with modifications for the exterior perimeter footings) as they currently exist. We have estimated that the total settlements should not exceed 1 inch (greater than the 0.75 requirement). However, post-construction settlements should not exceed 0.75 inches. In addition, we would expect that differential settlements would be on the order of 0.5 inches in 40 feet for masonry walls and less than 0.96 inches between columns, which meet the Retailer’s requirements for the differential settlement tolerances.

In our opinion, supporting the structure on the existing footings and new footing where required is the most economical building support option. Should the design team and the Retailer desire that the interpreted settlement requirements are the total calculated settlement without regard to final construction timelines and the calculated settlements are not acceptable, then support of the existing foundations will require deep foundations. Terracon contacted local piling contractors to estimate the cost impact of this alternative. Deep foundations would consist of underpinning the existing foundations and new footings with 4- to 6-inch diameter steel pipe piles. We have estimated in previous correspondence that underpinning would add about $150,000 to the project for the piles. This total would not include additional structural ties and modifications that may be required for the underpinning attachment to existing footings. Based on the subsurface conditions and our understanding of the proposed construction, the primary geotechnical considerations associated with the proposed retail building development are summarized below.

Environmental Development Restrictions: Earthwork at the site will be significantly affected by the development restrictions currently in place by Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ). Therefore, building elements should be planned so that native soils in this area will not be disturbed or disturbed as little as practical. It is not the intent of this report to address environmental contamination and/or site restrictions for development due to environmental contamination. Terracon is providing environmental consulting services relative to environmental concerns and/or hazards and is summarized under separate cover.

Seismic Settlements: Based on our analyses for liquefaction of the non-plastic soils and

strain-softening of the clay soils, we estimate that about 2 to 3 inches of seismic related settlements could be experienced by the building during a code (2009 International Building Code) defined design level earthquake. The upper 20 to 25 feet of soils at the site are predominately clay type materials with intermittent non-plastic soils that are very thin (less than about 18 inches in thickness). Therefore, the majority of the liquefaction settlements is greater than 20 feet bgs and is not likely to cause bearing capacity loss. However, some excessive strain (accounted for in the 2 to 3 inches) will likely occur due to cyclic softening of the clay-like materials. Based on our previous experience with the Retailer on similar projects, we understand that these settlements are typically tolerable by the building without collapse and can be accommodated for in the structural design.

Foundations: The building may be supported on the existing and new conventional continuous and isolated spread footings bearing directly on structural fill. Existing foundations are supported on about 1-foot of granular fill. New footings within the existing building pad should be supported on a minimum of 1-foot of granular fill and new footings in the loading dock expansion should be supported on a minimum of 2-feet of granular fill.

Responsive Resourceful Reliable Page 18

Structural fill and footing subgrades should be prepared in accordance with the 4.2 Earthwork section of this report.

Near Surface Soils with Shrink/Swell Potential: The low to medium plasticity native soils

in the upper several feet have a moderate to high shrink/swell potential and must be carefully prepared, moisture conditioned, and protected from disturbance, moisture intrusion, and drying. Our laboratory tests indicate vertical swell percentages vary from 8 to 3 percent (by height) if dried then saturated and was about 0.2 percent at the in-situ moisture content when saturated. Based on these results, we recommend a minimum of 2 feet of granular (non-plastic) soils underneath floor slabs and 1-foot of granular fill underneath footings in order to limit the maximum potential vertical rise tolerance of 1-inch by the Retailer. It appears from our explorations that the existing granular fill pad conditions are in accordance with these recommendations.

Floor Slabs: Based on the available information, the originally proposed floor slab was designed for a modulus of subgrade reaction, k, of 100 pci. This subgrade modulus does not meet the Retailer’s design requirement of 150 pci. However, based on our explorations and the fact that a minimum of about 2 feet of crushed aggregate is in place, we estimate that the 150 pci design requirement would be met with the existing subsurface conditions. Furthermore, we estimate that, based on the swell testing of the site soils that the potential vertical rise (PVR) is below the retailer’s maximum tolerance of 1-inch. Therefore, we recommend that a minimum of 2 feet on non-expansive granular fill be maintained underneath the floor slab and base course.

Dewatering: Relatively shallow groundwater conditions were observed in the borings. Deep utilities into the groundwater, which are reported to be at depths of 8 feet or about 10 feet below finished floor elevation, may require special handling and disposal due to the environmental restrictions. We would expect dewatering to be necessary in the retailer’s deep sanitary sewer lines. The environmental reports (under separate cover) should be reviewed and discussed with the regulatory agency prior to dewatering activities.

Moisture Sensitivity Soils and Wet Weather: The near surface native soils at the site are

fine-grained by nature and will be very moisture sensitive. Therefore, the site soils will be difficult or impossible to compact as structural fill especially when wet weather prevails. The ability to use native soils from site excavations as structural fill should not be planned without amendment. Unstable subgrade conditions could develop during general construction operations, particularly if the soils are wetted and/or subjected to repetitive construction traffic. Stabilization measures will need to be employed should unstable subgrade conditions develop. .

4.2 Earthwork The following presents recommendations for building pad preparation, excavation, subgrade preparation and placement of structural fills on the project. The recommendations presented for design and construction of earth supported elements including foundations, slabs and pavements are contingent upon following the recommendations outlined in this section. 4.2.1 Construction Considerations The near surface native soils encountered in the borings for this project consist of clay to silt materials and in a moisture condition much greater than 2 percent over optimum moisture content. Therefore, the site soils are considered to be moisture sensitive and will be difficult or impossible to compact as structural fill. Accordingly, the ability to use native soils (aside from environmental contaminant considerations) from site excavations as structural fill will depend on their moisture content at the time of earthwork, the prevailing weather conditions when site grading activities take place, and the proposed location for reuse. At the time of our study, moisture contents of the surface and near surface soils ranged from just above (2 to 5 percent) optimum moisture content (16 percent as determined by ASTM D698) to more than 20 percent over optimum. Therefore, it is likely that over-optimum soils will be encountered during construction and in order to use soils that are wet of the optimum moisture content, the soils will need to be dried by aeration during dry weather conditions, or an additive, such as cement, may be needed to stabilize the soil. In addition, in order to protect the subgrades from disturbance, a rock protective mat or cement-modifying may be required during wet weather. Otherwise, the subgrades could become disturbed from additional moisture (wet weather) or construction traffic and would be rendered unsuitable. Upon completion of filling and grading, care should be taken to maintain the subgrade moisture content prior to construction of floor slabs and pavements. Construction traffic over the completed subgrade should be avoided to the extent practical. The site should also be graded to prevent ponding of surface water on the prepared subgrades or in excavations. Unstable subgrade conditions could develop during general construction operations, particularly if the soils are wetted and/or subjected to repetitive construction traffic. Stabilization measures will need to be employed if unstable subgrade conditions develop. The contractor is responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations (including utility trenches) as required to maintaining 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.

4.2.2 Site Preparation Stripping, excavation, grading, and subgrade preparation should be performed in a manner and sequence that will provide drainage at all times and provide proper control of erosion. Accumulated water must be removed from subgrades and work areas immediately, or allowed to substantially drain, prior to performing further work in the area. Equipment access may be limited and the amount of soil rendered unfit for use as structural fill may be greatly increased if drainage efforts are not accomplished in a timely sequence. Site preparation in the truck-route will require removing surface vegetation and remaining organic-rich topsoil or other deleterious materials in planned loading dock expansion, appurtenance, and pavement areas. Organic-rich topsoil and native soils were observed on the order of about 6 to 12 inches within our explorations (and previous explorations by others). In the loading dock area, we estimate an average of about 10 inches of stripping required based on our explorations. Actual removal depths should be determined at the time of grading based on the subgrade material’s stability and organic content. We recommend stripping topsoil to depths that expose soils with less than 5 percent. 4.2.3 Subgrade Preparation After site preparation is completed and prior to placement of new fill, we recommend that the exposed subgrades be observed and evaluated for the presence of soft, loose or unsuitable materials. We recommend proofrolling the subgrades in the floor slab areas of the building pad to help locate weak or unstable areas at or just below the exposed subgrade level. Proofrolling should be performed using heavy rubber-tired equipment, such as a fully-loaded dump truck, having a minimum gross weight of about 20 tons. Subgrades within footing excavations should be undercut a minimum of 1-foot (within the existing fill pad) and 2-feet within new loading dock expansion areas to allow for granular fill placement and to expose medium stiff native silt and clay. Unsuitable areas identified by proof-rolling and/or hand-probing by the owner’s representative should be overexcavated and/or stabilized as described in this section. Based on the outcome of the proofrolling operations, some overexcavation or subgrade stabilization should be expected, especially during wet periods of the year as described in the previous section and in the areas along the truck-route and loading dock ramp. Methods of stabilization, which are outlined below, could include scarification and recompaction, removal of unstable materials and replacement with granular fill (with or without geotextiles), or cement modification. The most suitable method of stabilization, if required, will be dependent upon factors such as schedule, weather, and size of area to be stabilized and the nature of the instability.

Scarification and Recompaction – It may be feasible to scarify, dry, and recompact the granular fill soils present on-site. The fine-grained clay and silt materials will likely not be feasible to stabilize by this method nor should they be allowed to dry out in order to achieve compaction requirements. The success of this procedure would depend

primarily upon favorable weather and sufficient time to dry the soils. Even with adequate time and weather, stable subgrades will not be achievable if the thickness of the soft soil is greater than about 1 to 1½ feet. Limited use of this stabilization method should be expected.

Granular Fill - The use of crushed stone or gravel could be considered to improve

subgrade stability. Typical undercut depths would range from about ½ foot to 2 feet. The use of high modulus geotextiles i.e., engineering fabric, such as Mirafi HP370, could also be considered depending on the soil conditions and possible underground work planned in the area. Equipment should not be operated above the fabric until one full lift of granular fill is placed above it. The maximum particle size of granular material placed immediately over geotextile fabric or geogrid should not exceed 2 inches. This method of stabilization should be limited to the extent practical because of the potential for soil management of the native soils above and beyond the normal construction practices due to the potential environmental contamination present.

Chemical Stabilization – For wet, unstable soils, stabilizing the subgrades with portland cement could be considered. Chemical modification should be performed by a pre-qualified contractor having experience with successfully stabilizing subgrades in the project area on similar sized projects with similar soil conditions. We estimate that this method will be utilized on-site for stabilizing native subgrades since the preferred method for soil management of environmental contaminated soils is to manage them in-place. However, it is our experience that chemically modified soils are not desirable within the building pad due to the added corrosion potential to sub-floor utilities.

Overexcavations should be backfilled with structural fill material placed and compacted in accordance with this section of this report. Subgrade preparation and selection, placement, and compaction of structural fill should be performed under engineering controlled conditions in accordance with the project specifications. Subgrade Protection: Native silt and clay soils will be sensitive to construction traffic during prolonged periods of wet weather. If it becomes necessary to protect the subgrade, we recommend that exposed subgrades should be covered with a rock protective layer consisting of 3- to 6-inch quarry spalls (outside the building pad area), free-draining Select Fill, Crushed Rock Base Course, or crushed recycled concrete of equivalent gradation. If wet weather or wet subgrade conditions necessitate protection, we recommend that the contractor be responsible for determining the minimum thickness of the protective layer, based on the conditions at that time. In addition, the native subgrades should not be allowed to dry-out. Their moisture content should be maintained near the in-situ moisture content to prevent the risk of future shrink/swell from occurring.

Frozen Subgrade Soils: If earthwork takes place during freezing conditions, all exposed subgrades should be allowed to thaw and then be recompacted prior to placing subsequent lifts of structural fill or foundation components. Alternatively, the frozen material could be excavated from the subgrade to reveal unfrozen soil prior to placing subsequent lifts of fill or foundation components. The frozen soil should not be reused as structural fill until allowed to thaw and adjusted to the proper moisture content, which may not be possible during winter months. 4.2.4 Fill Materials and Placement All fill materials should be inorganic soils (with less than 3 percent organics) free of vegetation, debris, roots and sticks larger than ½ inch in diameter and rock fragments larger than six inches in size. Within the upper two feet in the building pad, the maximum aggregate size should be reduced to 2 inches. Our recommendations below are for imported materials for the following:

The geotextile fabric should be a woven product (Mirafi HP570 or equivalent). The following compaction requirements are recommended for the prepared subgrade and structural fill expected to be placed for this site:

Outside Building Pad Limits, within pavement areas and greater than 2 feet below subgrade: 92% of the material’s maximum modified Proctor dry density (ASTM D1557) for granular materials and 95% of the material’s maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D698) for fine-grained materials. Retaining Wall Backfill: 92 to 95% of the material’s maximum modified Proctor dry density (ASTM D1557) for granular materials and 95 to 98% of the material’s maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D698) for fine-grained materials. All other areas: 90% of the material’s maximum modified Proctor dry density (ASTM D1557) for granular materials and 92% of the material’s maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D698) for fine-grained materials.

Moisture Content

Granular materials: Within ±2 percent of optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D 1557. Fine-grained materials: Within -0 to +3 percent of optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D698.

1. We recommend that engineered fill be tested for moisture content and compaction during placement. Should the results of the in-place density tests indicate the specified moisture or compaction limits have not been met, the area represented by the test should be reworked and retested as required until the specified moisture and compaction requirements are achieved.

4.3 Foundations We recommend the proposed building be supported by a shallow, spread footing foundation system bearing on a minimum of 1 to 2 feet of granular Select fill over subgrades prepared in accordance with Subgrade Preparation section of this report. Design recommendations for shallow foundations for the proposed structure are presented in the following paragraphs. 4.3.1 Design Recommendations

3. The foundation settlement will depend upon the variations within the subsurface soil profile, the structural loading conditions, the embedment depth of the footings, the thickness of compacted fill, and the quality of the earthwork operations. The above settlement estimates have assumed that the maximum footing width is 8½ feet for column footings and 2 feet for continuous footings.

4. The value presented is an equivalent fluid pressure. The sides of the excavation for the spread footing foundation must be nearly vertical and the concrete should be placed neat against these vertical faces for the passive earth pressure values to be valid. Passive resistance in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile should be neglected.

The net allowable bearing pressures presented in the table above may be increased by one-third to resist transient, dynamic loads such as wind or seismic forces. Please note that lateral resistance to footings should be ignored in the upper 12-inches from finish grade. Footing Drains We recommend that footing drains be installed around the perimeter of the proposed building at the base of the foundations. Drains are also recommended behind all retaining and loading dock walls. Footing drains should consist of a minimum 4-inch diameter, Schedule 40, rigid, perforated PVC pipe placed at the base of the heel of the footing with the perforations facing down. The pipe should be surrounded by a minimum of 6 inches of clean free-draining granular material. Drain rock material should conform to Granular Drain Backfill of 2008 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction section 00430.11. We recommend placing a non-woven geotextile, such as Mirafi 140N, or equivalent, above the free draining backfill and below the overlying fill material. Footing drains should be directed toward appropriate storm water drainage facilities. Water from downspouts and surface water should be independently collected and routed to a suitable discharge location.

4.3.2 Shallow Foundation Construction Considerations The base of all foundation excavations should be free of water and loose soil and rock prior to placing concrete. Concrete should be placed soon after excavating to reduce bearing soil disturbance. Should the soils at bearing level become excessively dry, disturbed or saturated, or frozen, the affected soil should be removed prior to placing concrete. Place a protective layer of crushed rock over the bearing soils if the excavations must remain open over night or for an extended period of time. If disturbed bearing soils are encountered in footing excavations, the excavations should be extended deeper to suitable soils. Overexcavations for compacted backfill placement below footings should extend laterally beyond all edges of the footings at least 8 inches per foot of overexcavation depth below footing base elevation. The overexcavation should then be backfilled up to the footing base elevation with Fill Materials and Placement section of this report. The overexcavation and backfill procedures are described in the adjacent figure. Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage from the building areas at all times. Water must not be allowed to pond or to collect adjacent to foundations or within the immediate building area. We recommend that a gradient of at least 3 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet from the building perimeter be provided, except in paved locations. In paved areas, a minimum gradient of one percent should be provided. 4.4 Seismic Considerations

Description Value published geologic mapping and as encountered in the boring 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. As discussed in the Published Geologic Literature section of this report, we would interpret that site soils encountered at the site are representative of the soils to a depth of 100 feet. It is our opinion that a 100-foot boring is not necessary to classify the soil site class because sufficient information is publically available to meet the requirement.

As discussed below and in the geology section of this report, the site soils have a high risk of liquefaction and cyclic strain softening. Consequently, we have classified the Soil Site Class as F and site specific response analysis may be required to determine spectral accelerations. However, Section 20.3.1 of ASCE 7-05 allows site coefficients Fa and Fv to be determined from Tables 11.4-1 and 11.4-2 for structures with fundamental periods of vibration equal to or less than 0.5 second. We understand, based on our experience with structures similar to the proposed development, that the fundamental period of the structure is less than 0.5 seconds. Therefore, Site Class D was used to determine the values of Fa and Fv in the following table.

Site Class D Spectral Response Accelerations

Fa site coefficient 1.178

Fv site coefficient 1.614 4.4.1 Earthquake-Induced Soil Liquefaction Liquefaction is the phenomenon where saturated soils develop high pore-water pressures during seismic shaking and lose their strength characteristics. This phenomenon generally occurs in areas of high seismicity, where groundwater is shallow and loose granular soils or relatively non-plastic fine-grained soils are present. Soft to stiff silt and clay was encountered in the building borings to a depth of about 25 feet bgs. Groundwater was estimated as shallow as 8 feet for our evaluation. Underlying the silt and clay was medium dense to dense sand (about 5 to 10 feet in thickness) and further by very dense gravels. As part of this geotechnical evaluation, we performed a site-specific liquefaction analysis using the methods based on empirical methods originally developed by Seed and Idriss and subsequently modified by others. We utilized the continuous soil profile from the CPT test to evaluate the liquefaction potential of the site soils. The latest recommended procedures were presented by Idriss and Boulanger (2008). The peak ground acceleration and moment magnitude used in the analysis were based on IBC derived ground motions for the design earthquake. Because the site soils are generally plastic in nature, liquefaction within the upper 20 to 25 feet of the site is expected to be very limited. However, the medium dense sands

between 25 and 30 feet have a low to moderate risk of liquefaction. In addition, plastic soils are near their liquid limit between 10 and 15 feet bgs and have a moderate to high risk of strain softening (a condition where excessive strain occurs under cyclic loading). Based on our analyses, we estimate that about 2 to 3 inches of seismic related settlements are likely to occur during a design level seismic event; however, we do not expect the soils within the footing bearing zone to be compromised from a bearing capacity standpoint. 4.4.2 Seismic Settlement Discussion The 2009 IBC and 2010 Oregon Structural Specialty Code require that liquefaction analyses be completed assuming a substantial earthquake with associated ground accelerations that are provided in the International Building Code (IBC). It is not the intent of the codes to require a building to be in an operable condition after such event. Rather the codes’ philosophy for seismic design is based on life safety with the intent of preventing building collapse as a result of such a design earthquake. Owners should understand that buildings may not be in an operational condition after such a design earthquake and significant repair or even building replacement may be necessary. It therefore seems reasonable that designing a building for the potential impacts of seismic settlement resulting from a design earthquake event should be based on the premise of preventing building collapse. Our design recommendations in this report are predicated on the assumption that the seismic related settlements will be able to be accommodated by the structural design. The owner must become involved with the decision making process when it is determined that a building can tolerate predicted seismic settlements without collapse. Based on our experience with buildings of similar size and construction, we anticipate that the above mentioned settlements do not exceed the range of tolerance for preventing collapse. Should the settlements not be within tolerance or damage during a design level earthquake are not acceptable to the owner, additional mitigation measures, such as pile foundations, would be necessary to prevent or limit seismic settlements to within acceptable tolerances. 4.5 Floor Slab 4.5.1 Design Recommendations

Description Value

1. Floor slabs should be structurally independent of any building footings or walls to reduce the possibility of floor slab cracking caused by differential movements between the slab and foundation.

2. The floor slab design should include a capillary break, comprised of free-draining, compacted, granular material, at least 6 inches thick. Free-draining granular material should have less than 8 percent fines (material passing the #200 sieve).

3. The recommendations for materials for support of the slabs have considered locally available materials and cost for comparable materials. Since this site is a net import for materials, no costs above and beyond normal construction costs for the site are expected to achieve the recommended properties above.

If the material becomes segregated during spreading, we recommend that areas of CRBC be keyed with choker material conforming to the gradation requirements of ASTM D-448, grading No. 10, with 6 to 12 percent passing the U.S. No 200 sieve. The choker should be less than ¾ inch thick. From a geotechnical standpoint, the use of a vapor retarder beneath the interior slabs is not considered necessary. However, we anticipate that some moisture will develop beneath the slab as a result vapor migration through the soil. We recommend that the floor slab designer determine if the moisture collection beneath the slab will adversely affect the performance of the floor and the various floor coverings that may be placed on the floors. If a vapor barrier is to be used, we recommend using a puncture-resistant product that is classified as a Class A vapor retarder in accordance with ASTM E 1745. To avoid puncturing of the vapor retarder, construction equipment should not be allowed to drive over any vapor retarder material. The slab designer and slab contractor should refer to ACI 302 and/or ACI 360 for procedures and cautions regarding the use and placement of a vapor retarder. 4.5.2 Construction Considerations On most project sites, the site grading is generally accomplished early in the construction phase. However as construction proceeds, the subgrade may be disturbed due to utility excavations, construction traffic, desiccation, rainfall, etc. As a result, the floor slab subgrade may not be suitable for placement of base rock and concrete and corrective action will be required. We recommend the area underlying the floor slab be rough graded and then thoroughly proofrolled with a loaded tandem axle dump truck prior to final grading and placement of base rock. Particular attention should be paid to high traffic areas that were rutted and disturbed earlier and to areas where backfilled trenches are located. Areas where unsuitable conditions are located should be repaired by removing and replacing the affected material with properly compacted fill. All floor slab subgrade areas should be moisture conditioned and properly compacted to the recommendations in this report immediately prior to placement of the base rock and concrete.

4.6 Utility Trenching and Backfilling 4.6.1 Utility Trenching We recommend that utility trenching, installation, and backfilling conform to all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations such as OR-OSHA and OSHA regulations for open excavations. Some excavation bank stability problems for utility construction may occur where excavations extend into native soils or soils with elevated moisture conditions. Excavations for utilities below about 10 feet below the finished floor elevation are expected to encounter groundwater seepage. Where water is encountered in excavations, it should be removed prior to fill placement. If dewatering becomes necessary, it should be designed and maintained by the contractor. Depending on the season of the work, groundwater seepage elevations may be higher than that encountered in our borings. Dewatering should be designed and maintained by the contractor. It is possible that pumped sumps and/or some form of perched water cutoff may be necessary for excavations that penetrate into perched groundwater zones. Dewatering: Seasonal groundwater should be expected within excavations approaching or exceeding 10 feet in depth. We provide the following recommendations for incorporation into the project specifications with respect to dewatering:

The contractor should be made responsible for designing, permitting, and constructing dewatering system using accepted and professional methods consistent with current industry practice to eliminate water entering the excavation under hydrostatic head from the bottom or sides.

It needs to be clear to the contractor that the dewatering system should not be dependent solely upon sumps or pumping water from within the excavation which could continue to worsen the integrity of the excavation’s stability, the surrounding ground, and subgrades.

The dewatering system should be of sufficient size and capacity to prevent ground and surface water flow into the excavation and to allow work to be installed in a dry condition (i.e. no standing water) that maintains stability of the subgrade soils.

The contractor should be responsible for obtaining discharge permits and designing settling basins, as necessary by permit, for the pumped water and performing water quality testing that may be required by regulatory agencies including but not limited to Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. All data and other submittals required by regulatory agencies shall be submitted to the owner and Civil Engineer.

Please note that water pumped from mobile sumps and pumps will likely be relatively turbid and the contractor should be prepared to provide a settling pond or other filtration methods to meet requirements of the discharge permit. The size of the pond or portable tank and time the water

remains in a settlement pond or other alternate structure is highly dependent on the contractor’s methods and the volume of water being pumped. 4.6.2 Utility Subgrade Preparation We recommend that all utility subgrades be firm and unyielding and free of all soils that are loose, disturbed, or pumping. Such soils should be removed and replaced, if necessary. If utility foundation soils are soft and/or excessively wet, we recommend that they be overexcavated of 12 inches and replaced with compacted fill per section Fill Materials and Placement of this report. The necessary depth of excavation would need to be determined in the field by a qualified representative of the Construction Testing Laboratory (CTL) per the Retailer’s typical project requirements. It may be necessary to place a geotextile fabric over the native subgrade soils if they are too soft, to provide a separation between the bedding and subgrade soils. 4.6.3 Pipe Bedding, Haunching, and Initial Backfill We recommend that pipe zone material conform to material specifications as presented in Section 00405.13, Pipe Zone Material, of the 2008 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction. We recommend a minimum of 6 inches of bedding material be placed in the trench bottom for flexible pipes. Bedding material should conform to material as defined in Section 00405.12, Bedding, of the 2008 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction. All trenches should be wide enough to allow for compaction around the haunches of the pipe. 4.6.4 Trench Backfill The native soils are not suitable for utility trench backfill due to the elevated moisture content, high clay content, and relatively low compacted strength. All trench backfill should be placed as structural fill and compacted to the levels recommended within this report. All trenches should be wide enough to allow for compaction around the haunches of the pipe. 4.7 Retaining Walls Reinforced concrete walls with unbalanced backfill levels on opposite sides should be designed for earth pressures at least equal to those indicated in the following table. We understand that below grade walls are planned in the loading dock area. 4.7.1 Lateral Earth Pressures Earth pressures will be influenced by structural design of the walls, conditions of wall restraint, methods of construction and/or compaction and the strength of the materials being restrained. Two wall restraint conditions are shown. Active earth pressure is commonly used for design of free-standing cantilever retaining walls and assumes wall movement. The "at-rest" condition assumes no wall movement. The recommended design active and at-rest lateral earth

Horizontal backfill compacted between 92 and 95 percent of modified Proctor maximum dry density for granular fill and 95 to 98 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density for fine-grained fill.

Loading from heavy compaction equipment not included. No hydrostatic pressures acting on wall. No dynamic loading. No safety factor included in soil parameters. Ignore passive pressure in frost zone. Heavy equipment should not operate within a distance closer than the exposed height of

retaining walls to prevent lateral pressures more than those provided. Additional recommendations may be necessary if differing conditions from described above are to be included in the design. For the granular values to be valid, the granular backfill must extend out from the base of the wall at an angle of at least 45 and 60 degrees from vertical for the active and passive cases, respectively. To calculate the resistance to sliding, an ultimate value of 0.55 should be used as the ultimate coefficient of friction between the footing and the underlying soil. The above table does not include factors of safety and should be considered ultimate values. The purpose of the safety factor for the coefficient of friction and passive coefficient is that the wall footings would need to translate a significant distance in order to develop the full ultimate capacity. Therefore, the design values should include a factor of safety for limited translation and we recommend a factor of safety of about 1.5. 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. Over-compaction may cause excessive lateral earth pressures which could result in wall movement. 4.7.2 Construction Considerations To control the water level behind walls, we recommend a perimeter drain be installed at the foundation level as shown on the Footing Drain Detail (Exhibit D-1) and described in the following notes.

Free-draining Granular Wall Backfill (2008 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction section 00510.12) should be placed a minimum width of 12 inches behind the back of the wall and extend down the heel of the footing to the drain rock around the perforated pipe.

Minimum 4-inch diameter, Schedule 40, rigid, perforated PVC pipe placed at the base of the heel of the footing with the perforations facing down. Cleanouts should be provided as needed.

The pipe should be surrounded by a minimum of 6 inches of clean free-draining granular material. Drain rock material should conform to Section 00430.11, Granular Drain

Backfill Material, as presented in the 2008 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction. We recommend placing a non-woven geotextile, such as Mirafi 140N, or equivalent, above the free draining backfill and below the overlying fill material.

Drainage pipe could be omitted if weep holes that are hydraulically connected to the granular drainage material are installed through the face of the wall, and the discharge water is conveyed away from the wall or other structures. The weep holes should be spaced at a maximum 8 feet on-center.

Exterior ground surface should consist of a 12-inch thick impervious soil cap or paved and sloped to drain away from walls.

4.8 Pavements Pavement subgrades for the truck-route are expected to consist of native silt and clay. We recommend that all fill used to raise low areas must have pavement support characteristics at least equivalent to the existing soils and must be placed under engineering controlled conditions. Recommendations regarding subgrade preparation are provided in Earthwork section of this report. The pavement support characteristics of subgrade soils can be improved by amending the soils with cement. This may also be necessary during wet weather conditions to provide a stable subgrade over the wet season. If soil-cement amendment is proposed, we can perform a test mix program to determine the optimum cement content, and reanalyze the pavement section to reduce the overall section thickness. 4.8.1 Design Recommendations It must be recognized that pavement design is a compromise between high initial cost and little maintenance on one side and low initial cost coupled with the need for periodic repairs. As a result, the owner has provided reliability design expectation for an appropriate pavement section to meet their criteria. Critical features which govern the durability of the surface include the level of compaction of the subgrade, the stability of the subgrade, the presence or absence of moisture, free water and organics, the fines content of the subgrade soils, the traffic volume, and the frequency of use by heavy vehicles. Our recommendations are based upon a 20-year design life. The pavement design recommendations assume that the subgrade and any structural fill will be prepared in accordance with the recommendations presented in this report. Design of new pavements for the project has been based on the procedures outlined in the 1993 Guideline for Design of Pavement Structures by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Soil Design Values: Terracon completed one California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test on representative native soil samples and a CBR value of just below 5 percent was obtained.

However, once these values are seasonally adjusted based on weather climate and drainage conditions, we used a design CBR value of about 2 percent in the design. Traffic Design Values: Traffic loading provided for heavy-duty pavements consists of 211,700 18-kip ESALs over 20 years. Other design parameters used in the design included initial serviceability = 4.2, terminal serviceability = 2.0, reliability = 85%, and standard deviation = 0.45 for flexible pavements and 0.35 for rigid pavements. Recommended alternatives for flexible and rigid pavements, summarized for each traffic area, are as follows:

Traffic Area

Recommended Asphalt Pavement Section Thickness (inches) Asphalt

Concrete Surface

Base (CRBC) Subbase Total

Heavy Duty 4 12 - 16 Heavy Duty Alternate 4 6 10 20

Traffic Area Recommended Concrete Pavement Section Thickness (inches)

Portland Cement Concrete Surface Base Subbase Total

Heavy Duty 6 ½ 8 - 14 ½

Heavy Duty Alternate 6 ½ 4 12 22 ½ Truck Loading and

Dumpster Pad Areas 7 6 - 13

Pavement design calculations are provided in the Appendix E. Re-evaluation of the recommended pavement sections may be necessary if the actual traffic varies from the assumed criteria outlined above. The pavement sections recommended in the table above are not intended for construction traffic. If the pavements will be constructed early during the construction sequence, such that they will be subjected to construction traffic, then provisions should be made for completing repairs to the roadway and placing a new wearing surface just prior to the Grand Opening. As previously stated, haul roads and laydown areas should be included in project planning to provide access to the building area during construction.

4.8.2 Asphalt and Base Course Materials Specifications for manufacturing and placement of pavements and crushed base course should conform to specifications presented in Section 00745, of the 2008 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction. Specific recommendations for asphalt concrete and crushed rock base course (CRBC) are provided below.

Asphalt: We recommend that the asphalt cement binder conform to Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction Section 745.11 for PG 64-22, Performance Graded Asphalt.

Asphalt Mix Aggregate: We recommend using a mix with aggregate meeting the gradation requirements for ½-inch Dense as presented in Section 745.12, Broadband Limits for Dense Graded Mixes. ¾-inch Dense would be acceptable for the base lift of asphalt, not the top lift. However, based on our experience, it is unlikely for the contractor to place two separate mix designs on the same project. Therefore, the ½-inch is recommended for the project.

Asphalt Mix Design: The job mix formula should meet the requirements for Level 3 dense graded mixtures as presented in Section 745.13 of the Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction, for heavy-duty pavement. The job mix formula and quality control testing of the formula should be less than one year old.

Recycled Asphalt Product (RAP): We recommend no more than 15 percent RAP be used in the mix design for this project (based on Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction Minor HMA specifications section 00744 for requirements of blended asphalt on RAP percentages greater than 15).

Crushed Rock Base Course: We recommend that the crushed aggregate base course conform to gradation specifications presented in Section 02630.10, Dense Graded Aggregate, grading 1”-0, with the modification that no more than 8 percent pass the No. 200 sieve using the ASTM D 422 test method (i.e., washed sieve).

Compaction – Asphalt Courses: We recommend that asphalt be compacted to a minimum of 92 percent of the Rice (theoretical maximum) density.

We contacted Knife River Materials, one of the largest suppliers of pavement materials in the area, with respect to current material availability. The above specified materials are both locally available and are standard products that should be cost-effective for flexible pavement design and construction.

4.8.3 Concrete Properties and Materials Concrete pavement design recommendations are based on an assumed modulus of rupture of 580 psi and a minimum 28-day compressive strength of 4,000 psi for the concrete. It is our opinion that concrete pavements should be reinforced and have relatively closely spaced control joints on the order of 15 to 20 feet. We recommend that minimum reinforcement consist of 6x6-W2.0xW2.0 welded wire or equivalent. The welded wire reinforcement should be terminated 3 inches on either side of all construction, contraction and expansion joints. We further recommend that, at a minimum, loading dock pavements be reinforced with #3 bars on 15 inch centers, each direction. We recommend that contraction joints be spaced no greater than 12 feet apart. For areas subject to concentrated and repetitive loading conditions such as dumpster pads, truck delivery docks and ingress/egress aprons, we recommend using a concrete pavement with a thickness of at least 7 inches underlain by at least 6 inches of crushed gravel. Prior to placement of the crushed stone the areas should be thoroughly proofrolled. For dumpster pads, the concrete pavement area should be large enough to support the container and tipping axle of the refuse truck. 4.8.4 Construction Considerations Materials and construction of pavements for the project should be in accordance with the requirements and specifications of this report and the 2008 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction. 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.

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.

Exhibit A-3 Page 1

Field Exploration Description Our subsurface exploration program for this project included three phases of explorations (August, September, and November of 2011).The borings’ locations were determined in the field by Terracon personnel with survey level GPS equipment, in order to satisfy the Subsurface Investigation Specifications and Report Requirements. As such, the exploration locations should be considered accurate to the degree implied by the measurement method. The approximate locations of the explorations are presented on Exhibit A-1, the Site and Exploration Plan. The following sections describe our procedures associated with the exploration. Descriptive logs of the explorations are enclosed in this appendix. Our exploratory borings were advanced using truck-mounted drill rigs operated by independent drilling firms working under subcontract to our firm. The borings were completed utilizing hollow-stem auger methods. A geologist from our firm continuously observed the borings, logged the subsurface conditions encountered, and obtained representative soil samples. Samples were stored in moisture-tight containers and transported to our laboratory for further visual classification and testing. Throughout the drilling operation, soil samples were obtained at 2.5- to 5-foot depth intervals by means of the Standard Penetration Test Method. This testing and sampling procedure consists of driving a standard 2-inch outside diameter steel split spoon sampler 18 inches into the soil with a 140-pound hammer free falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler through each 6-inch interval is recorded, and the total number of blows struck during the final 12 inches is recorded as the Standard Penetration Resistance, or “blow count” (N value). If a total of 50 blows are struck within any 6-inch interval, the driving is stopped and the blow count is recorded as 50 blows for the actual penetration distance. The resulting Standard Penetration Resistance values indicate the relative density of granular soils and the relative consistency of cohesive soils. Relatively intact samples were obtained by pushing a 3-inch outside diameter, seamless steel Shelby tube into the soil using the hydraulic system on the drill rig in accordance with ASTM D 1587. Since the thin wall tube is pushed rather than driven, the sample obtained is considered to be relatively intact. The samples were classified in the field by examining the ends of the tube prior to sealing with plastic caps. The samples were then transported to our laboratory where they were extruded for further classification and laboratory testing. One cone penetrometer test (CPT) probe was completed near the center of the building pad. The CPT probe was advanced with using a truck mounted rig operated by an independent firm working under subcontract to our firm. A continuous log of the probe hole was obtained. Soil descriptions presented on the CPT logs are based on interpretations of the cone data at a specific exploration location. The probe holes were backfilled with bentonite slurry after completion.

Exhibit A-3 Page 2

The enclosed boring logs describe the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in each boring, based primarily upon our field classifications and supported by our subsequent laboratory examination and testing. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational, our logs indicate the average contact depth. Where a soil type changed between sample intervals, we inferred the contact depth. Our logs also graphically indicate the blow count, sample type, sample number, and approximate depth of each soil sample obtained from the boring, as well as any laboratory tests performed on these soil samples. Where groundwater was encountered in a borehole, the approximate groundwater depth, and date of observation, is depicted on the log. Groundwater depth estimates are typically based on the moisture content of soil samples, the wetted portion of the drilling rods, the water level measured in the borehole after the auger has been extracted, or through the use of an observation well. The soil descriptions presented on the boring logs in this appendix are based upon the drilling action, observation of the samples secured, laboratory test results, and field logs. The various types of soils are indicated as well as the depth where the soils or characteristics of the soils changed. It should be noted that these changes may have been gradual, and if the changes occurred between sample intervals, they were inferred. Boring

LABORATORY TESTING

Page 79: Final Geotechnical Engineering Report - yorkeandcurtis.comyorkeandcurtis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Final-Geotechnical... · Final Geotechnical Engineering Report Proposed Retail

Final Geotechnical Engineering Report Proposed Retail Development Corvallis, Washington June 21, 2012 Terracon Project No. 82115010A

Exhibit B-1 Page 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 general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and local practice described in Appendix A. 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:

Moisture Content California Bearing Ratio Grain Size Distribution Resistivity, pH Atterberg Limits Consolidation Test Proctor Moisture-Density Relationship Unconfined Compressive Strength

Percent Swell Tests Organic Content

Lab tests not completed on samples:

Strength tests, no cuts or fills utilizing site soils are planned to exceed 10 feet and slopes steeper than 3:1 (H:V).

Note that due to environmental contamination of soils at the site, soil samples were not stored for the duration of the Retailer’s requirements. The soil samples were placed in the drums on-site for disposal.

GENERAL NOTES DRILLING & SAMPLING SYMBOLS: SS: Split Spoon - 1-3/8" I.D., 2" O.D., unless otherwise noted HS: Hollow Stem Auger ST: Thin-Walled Tube - 2" O.D., 3” O.D. unless otherwise noted PA: Power Auger RS: Ring Sampler - 2.42" I.D., 3" O.D., unless otherwise noted HA: Hand Auger DB: Diamond Bit Coring - 4", N, B 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 3” O.D. ring samplers (RS) 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 foot,” and is not considered equivalent to the “Standard Penetration” or “N-value”.

WATER LEVEL MEASUREMENT SYMBOLS: WL: Water Level WS: While Sampling N/E: Not Encountered 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 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.
