1.0 INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for the proposed new Monterey County Juvenile Hall (Project) at 1414 Natividad Road in Salinas, Monterey County, California. The purpose of our investigation is to provide information regarding the surface and subsurface soil conditions and provide geotechnical recommendations for the design and construction of the proposed Project. Conclusions and recommendations related to site grading, foundations, retaining walls, pavement design, corrosion protection and drainage are presented herein. This work included site reconnaissance, subsurface exploration, soil sampling, laboratory testing, engineering analyses and preparation of this report. The scope of services for this investigation is outlined in our agreement dated May 29, 2014. The recommendations contained in this report are subject to the limitations presented in Section 8.0 of this report. The Association of Engineering Firms Practicing the Geosciences has produced a pamphlet for your information titled Important Information About Your Geotechnical Report. This pamphlet has been included with the copies of your report.
2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAMS Our field exploration program included drilling, logging, and interval sampling of 22 truck mounted solid stem auger borings advanced on September 10, September 11, and October 10, 2014. The borings were advanced to depths ranging from 3 to 61½ feet below existing grade. Details of the field exploration program, including the Boring Logs, Figures B-4 through B-25, are presented in Appendix B. Representative samples obtained during the field investigation were taken to the laboratory for testing to determine physical and engineering properties. Details of the laboratory testing program are presented in Appendix C. Test results are presented on the Boring Logs and in Appendix C. Samples for the corrosion analysis were also collected during the subsurface exploration program. The collected corrosion samples were shipped directly to JDH Corrosion Consultants, Inc. for analysis. The results of their analysis are presented in Appendix E.

3.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Location
The Project is located east of Highway 101 in Salinas, California. The site location is shown on the Site Location Plan, Appendix B, Figure B-1.
3.2 Surface Conditions
The proposed Project area is located within the existing Juvenile Hall property. The property is bounded by Natividad Road to the west, Chaparral Street to the south, the Monterey County Jail to the west, and an access road to the north. The Project area currently has existing one-story structures (permanent and modular), a parking area, a grass field and gravel track, and associated hardscape and landscape. The Project area has open space on the southern and western portions of the Project. There is an existing north south flowing drainage on the north eastern portion of the project that has been in-filled in the center of the Project and routed under the existing grass field and track. There are scattered trees around the site. The site generally slopes down to the east from Natividad Road at gentle gradients. The grade slopes up to a service road after a man-made drainage ditch on the eastern portion of the Project. Chaparral Street dips down then up following the same drainage valley seen on the north of the Project. The rest of Chaparral is relatively level.
3.3 Subsurface Conditions
A total of 22 borings were advanced ranging in depth from 3 to 61 ½ feet below existing grade. The Project site is mapped as being underlain by older alluvium. Locally, these native deposits consist of lean clay, sandy lean clay, fat clay, sandy fat clay, clayey sand, sandy silt and silty sand. The clays encountered were generally stiff to hard and the sands were medium dense to very dense.
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 5
Prior to development of the existing juvenile hall facility a small creek flowed through the Project site from the north to the south. The creek can be seen north of the site. The creek is approximately 65 to 80 feet wide from bank to bank and the base of the stream is approximately 10 to 20 feet below the bank. A large grading project was performed for the existing facility including minor cuts on the western side of the site and infilling of the creek. The cuts were up to 5 feet thick and the fills within the creek are up to 20 feet thick. A 48 inch diameter concrete storm drain was installed to convey water through the site. A map showing the extent of the cuts and fills is depicted in Appendix B, Figure B-26. Cross-sections showing the profile of the historic creek and its infilling are shown in Appendix B, Figures B-27 through B-29. The fill consists of sandy lean clay, clayey sand, and silty sand. In general, the fill consisted of soil with only 1 boring encountering any debris. The density of the fill soil was inconsistent ranging from loose and soft to very dense and hard. Groundwater was encountered within our deeper (61½ foot) boring. The depth to groundwater recorded was 41 feet below existing grade. Complete soil profiles are presented on the Boring Logs, Appendix B, Figures B-4 through B-17. The boring locations are shown on the Boring Location Plan, Figure B-2.
4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Based on our discussions with the client the Project will consist of constructing a new campus in 2 phases. The first phase will consist of 5 new structures and parking facilities in the south and eastern portions of the site. The second phase will consist of removing the center core of the facility and constructing 2 new buildings on the western side. The center of the site will consist of an outdoor athletic facility.
5.0 GEOTECHNICAL HAZARDS 5.1 General
In our opinion the geotechnical hazards that could potentially affect the proposed project are:
• Fault surface rupture
• Intense seismic shaking • Collateral seismic hazards
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 6
• Landslide • Erosion 5.2 Fault Surface Rupture
The site lies outside of the State of California, Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The site is approximately 18 Km from the San Andreas fault. No fault traces are mapped on the subject property. It is our opinion that the potential for fault surface rupture to affect the site and/or to damage the proposed addition is low.
5.3 Intense Seismic Shaking
Intense seismic shaking may occur at the site during the design lifetime of the proposed structure from an earthquake along one of the local fault systems. Generally, the intensity of shaking will increase the closer the site is to the epicenter of an earthquake, however, seismic shaking is a complex phenomenon and may be modified by local topography and soil conditions. The transmission of earthquake vibrations from the ground into the structure may cause structural damage.
Monterey County has adopted the seismic provisions set forth in the California Building Code to address seismic shaking. The seismic provisions in the CBC are minimum load requirements for the seismic design for the proposed structure. The provisions set forth in the CBC will not prevent structural and nonstructural damage from direct fault ground surface rupture, coseismic ground cracking, liquefaction and lateral spreading, seismically induced differential compaction, seismically induced landsliding, or seismically induced inundation.
Table 1 has been constructed based on the 2013 CBC requirements for the seismic design of the proposed structure. The Site Class has been determined based on our field investigation and laboratory testing.

5.4 Collateral Seismic Hazards
In addition to intense seismic shaking, other seismic hazards that may have an adverse effect to the site and/or the structure are: coseismic ground cracking, seismically induced liquefaction and lateral spreading, seismically induced differential compaction, seismically induced landsliding, and seismically induced inundation (tsunami and seiche). Due to the location of the proposed development away from earthquake faults and the strength of the underlying geologic units, the potential for collateral seismic hazards to affect the site and/or to damage the proposed addition is low.
5.5 Landslide
Landslide is a general term referring to the downslope movement of soil and/or rock en masse, under the influence of gravity. The area of proposed expansion is relatively flat with very gentle gradients to the south. Due to the flat terrain and the strength of the underlying geologic units and the lack of previous landsliding in the general area, the potential for landsliding to affect the site and/or to damage the proposed addition is low.
5.6 Erosion
Erosion is the general process where surficial earth materials are loosened, dissolved or worn away and simultaneously moved from one place to another by water or wind. The area of proposed Project has been previously graded and has gentle gradients. No natural drainage courses currently cross the property on its surface. The currently proposed development does not include significant changes to the surface gradients. Given that the site is developed following our recommendations and mandated erosion control guidelines, the potential for erosion to affect the site is low.
6.0 DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on our field investigation, and discussion with the owner it is proposed that the Project will consist of demolishing the existing facility in phases and constructing eight new buildings and a parking area. The in-situ foundation zone soils consist of silty sand, sandy lean clays, and lean and fat clays. The clays are stiff to very stiff and the silty sand is medium dense to dense. Expansion Index tests were performed on multiple bulk samples within the foundation
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 9
zone. The results vary between 19 and 69 indicating an expansion potential varying from low to medium. The infilled creek has been mapped by our firm. The mapping is based on a review of a historical topographic map and a review of our exploratory borings. Although it appears that some of the material has been compacted the blow counts within the fill are highly variable and we do not have any engineering records of its placement. There are also minor fill wedges located adjacent to Chaparrel Road in the proposed parking area. Our firm performed percolation tests at 4 locations within the Project site based on directions from the project civil engineer. The results of the percolation tests are attached in Appendix D.
7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 General
Based on the results of our field investigation, laboratory testing, and engineering analysis it is our opinion that from the geotechnical standpoint, the subject site will be suitable for the proposed construction. The site is underlain by potentially expansive soil within the foundation zone in areas that consist of in-situ soil. This report provides two detailed options to mitigate the heave. This includes a structural slab-on-grade (no soil improvement) or soil improvement to alter the swelling characteristics of the soil and found the structure on a conventional shallow foundation with non-structural slab-on-grade floors. Structures that are to be placed within the infilled creek and are underlain by non-engineered fill will either need to be supported on a deep foundation or shallow foundations founded on engineered fill. The existing volume of non-engineered fill that would require mitigation is substantial if a grading option is chosen. A corrosion analysis was performed for this project. The results and recommendations of the analysis are presented in Appendix E.
7.2 Site Grading 7.2.1 Site Clearing
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 10
The site should be cleared of loose soil, organics, and debris within the project limits.
7.2.2 Preparation of On-Site Soils
General Areas that reveal non-expansive soil should be over-excavated through any non-engineered fill, moisture conditioned, and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. All fill should be compacted by mechanical means in uniform horizontal loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness. The relative compaction and required moisture content shall be based on the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content obtained in accordance with ASTM D1557. Portions of the on-site soil may be used as engineered fill once the majority of deleterious material is removed. The portion of on-site fill that can be used depends on the foundation option chosen, see options below. All soils, both existing on-site and imported, to be used as fill, should contain less than 3 percent organics, be well mixed, and be free of debris and cobbles over 2½ inches in maximum dimension. The material should be verified by a representative of Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. in the field during grading operations. The on-site expansive clayey soil may not be used as engineered fill unless it is chemically altered so it has a low expansion potential or as required by option 1.
Imported fill material should be approved by a representative of Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. prior to importing. Imported fill should be primarily granular with no material greater than 2½ inches in diameter and no more than 20 percent of the material passing the #200 sieve. The fines fraction of the fill should not consist of expansive material. The Geotechnical Engineer should be notified not less than 5 working days in advance of placing any fill or base course material proposed for import. Each proposed source of import material should be sampled, tested, and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to delivery of any soils imported for use on the site.
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 11
Any surface or subsurface obstruction, or questionable material encountered during grading, should be brought immediately to the attention of the Geotechnical Engineer for proper processing as required.
Option 1-Post Tensioned Slab-On-Grade
For this option only all on-site soils including lean and fat clay may be used as engineered fill per section 7.2.2-General. Lean and fat clay used during option 1 as engineered fill should be compacted with heavy vibratory equipment to 86 to 88 percent relative compaction with moisture content between 3 to 5 percent over optimum. Option 2-Conventional Shallow Foundation Conventional shallow foundations and non-structural slab-on-grades should be founded on a minimum of 24 inches of non-expansive engineered fill per section 7.2.2-General. The non-expansive fill may consist of imported soil, on-site non-expansive soil, or chemically altered on-site soil. The non-expansive fill should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Chemically altering the soil may consist of lime treating the soil to minimize its swell potential. If this option is chosen, testing of the soil to determine the appropriate mix ratio and ensure that the soil reacts is required. In areas where the creek has been infilled, the non-engineered fill should be over-excavated down to in-situ soil. Based on our exploratory borings the majority of the fill consists of silty sand, clayey sand, and sandy lean clay. This material may be re-used as engineered fill following section 7.2.2-General. Any potentially expansive soil encountered during grading may require chemical treatment for re-use, or be off-hauled.
Option 3- Slab-on-Grades (non-structural) Exterior slab-on-grades should be founded on a minimum of 24 inches of either chemically altered soil (lime treatment), non-expansive on-site soil, or imported engineered fill per section 7.2.2-General. Exterior slab-on-grades should be physically separated from the structure.
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 12
Paved Areas The upper 6 inches of subgrade and aggregate baserock below paved areas should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction. This should extend a minimum of 2 feet laterally of all paved areas.
7.2.3 Cut and Fill Slopes
Significant permanent cut and fill slopes are not planned for this project.
7.2.4 Excavating Conditions
The on-site soil may be excavated and drilled with standard earthwork equipment.
7.2.5 Surface Drainage
Positive drainage should be maintained away from the structures at a minimum gradient of 5 percent for 10 feet. Roof and driveway drainage should be collected into solid plastic pipe and released at approved locations to minimize erosion.
7.2.6 Utility Trenches
Bedding material should consist of sand with a Sand Equivalent not less than 30 which may then be jetted.
The on-site expansive native soils may not be utilized for trench backfill per section 7.2.2 unless chemically altered to reduce its expansion potential. Imported fill should be free of organic material and rocks over 2.5 inches in diameter.
If sand is used, a 3 foot concrete plug should be placed in each trench where it passes under the exterior footings. Backfill of all exterior and interior trenches should be placed in thin lifts not to exceed 8 inches and mechanically compacted to achieve a relative compaction of not less than 95 percent in paved areas and 90 percent in
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 13
other areas per ASTM D1557. Care should be taken not to damage utility lines.
Utility trenches that are parallel to the sides of a building should be placed so that they do not extend below a line sloping down and away at an inclination of 2:1 H:V from the bottom outside edge of all footings.
Trenches should be capped with 1 1/2 feet of relatively impermeable material. Import material must be approved by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to its use.
Trenches must be shored as required by the local regulatory agency, the State of California Division of Industrial Safety Construction Safety Orders, and Federal OSHA requirements.
7.3 Foundations
Three options for supporting the proposed Project are provided below. Additional options can be provided if desired. Option 2 may only be used in the infilled creek area if the existing non-engineered fill is over-excavated and replaced as engineered fill per section 7.2.2. 7.3.1 Option 1 - Post-Tensioned Slab-on-Grade Foundation
This option consists of constructing a post- tensioned slab-on-grade that is designed to mitigate heave potential based on its rigidity. Post-tensioned slabs should be designed in accordance with the latest recommendations of the Post-Tensioning Institute using the following criteria. a. Depth to constant moisture= 15 feet from existing grade b. Effective Plasticity Index=50 c. Allowable Bearing Capacity=3,500 psf d. em=9.0 for center lift and 4.9 for edge lift e. ym=0.54 for center lift and 0.55 for edge lift
Where moisture sensitive floor coverings are anticipated or vapor transmission may be a problem, a waterproof membrane (Stegowrap 15 mil or equivalent) should be placed directly below the floor slab in order to reduce moisture condensation under the floor coverings. Place a six inch layer of Class II baserock below the vapor barrier, and a 4 inch minimum layer of ¾ inch drainrock below the baserock to act as a capillary break.
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 14
Footing excavations must be checked by the Geotechnical Engineer before steel is placed and concrete is poured. See section 7.2.2 for Option 1 fill requirements.
7.3.2 Option 2 - Conventional Shallow Foundations
Conventional shallow foundations may be used if the subgrade soil is altered to reduce its swell potential. Under this option the base of the foundation and slab-on-grade should be underlain by a minimum of 24 inches of non-expansive soil. The 24 inches may consists of imported engineered fill, on-site non-expansive soil, or on-site soil that has been chemically altered (lime treated) to mitigate its swell potential. This should extend a minimum of 2 feet laterally of the foundations. Footing widths should be based on the allowable bearing value but not less than 15 inches. The minimum recommended depth of embedment is 12 inches. Embedment depths should not be allowed to be affected adversely, such as through erosion, softening, digging, etc. Should local building codes require deeper embedment of the footings or wider footings, the local codes must apply.
The allowable bearing capacity used should not exceed 3,500 psf for footings bearing on engineered fill. The allowable bearing capacity may be increased by one-third in the case of short duration loads, such as those induced by wind or seismic forces. In the event that footings are founded in structural fill consisting of imported materials, the allowable bearing capacities will depend on the type of these materials and should be re-evaluated.
Friction coefficient - 0.30, between the engineered fill and rough concrete. A passive resistance of 250 pcf may be assumed below a depth of 12 inches. Where both friction and the passive resistance are utilized for sliding resistance, either of the values indicated should be reduced by one-third. Where moisture sensitive floor coverings are anticipated or vapor transmission may be a problem, a waterproof membrane (Stegowrap 15 mil or equivalent) should be placed directly below the floor slab in order to reduce moisture condensation under the floor coverings. Place a six inch layer of Class II baserock below the vapor barrier, and a 4 inch minimum layer of ¾ inch drainrock below the baserock to act as a capillary break.
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 15
Footing excavations must be checked by the Geotechnical Engineer before steel is placed and concrete is poured. See section 7.2.2 for Option 2 engineered fill requirements.
7.3.3 Option 3 - Concrete Slabs-on-Grade (non-structural)
We recommend that concrete slab-on-grades be founded on a minimum of 24 inches of either non-expansive engineered fill or chemically altered (lime treated) in-situ soil per section 7.2.2.
The subgrade should be proof-rolled just prior to construction to provide a firm, relatively unyielding surface, especially if the surface has been loosened by the passage of construction traffic. Where moisture sensitive floor coverings are anticipated or vapor transmission may be a problem, a waterproof membrane (Stegowrap 15 mil or equivalent) should be placed directly below the floor slab in order to reduce moisture condensation under the floor coverings. Place a six inch layer of Class II baserock below the vapor barrier, and a 4 inch minimum layer of ¾ inch drainrock below the baserock to act as a capillary break. See section 7.2.2 for Option 3 engineered fill requirements.
7.3.4 Option 4- Pier and Grade Beam Foundation (Infilled Creek Areas)
This option may be used to support structures located within the infilled creek if it is decided to not over-excavate the non-engineered fill and replace it with engineered fill. All slab-on-grades located on non-engineered fill should be fully supported. It should be assumed that the non-engineered fill imposes a negative skin friction upon any pier of 500 psf.
A pier and grade beam foundation may be used to support improvements. The drilled piers should be a minimum of 18 inches in diameter and have a minimum embedment depth of 6 feet below any non-engineered fill. Shafts should be spaced no closer than 3 diameters center to center. An allowable skin friction of 500 psf may be assumed below the non-
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 16
engineered fill. The non-engineered fill should be ignored for design purposes. A 1/3 increase may be assumed for short term loading. An allowable passive resistance of 150 psf/ft and 300 psf/ft over two pier diameters may be assumed within the non-engineered fill and in-situ soil, respectively. Passive resistance should not begin until below the depth of the non-engineered fill. The drilled excavations for the cast-in-place concrete shafts should be clean, dry and free of debris or loose soil. The drilled excavations should not deviate more than 1 percent from vertical. For drilled, cast-in-place concrete shaft depths in excess of 8 feet, concrete should be placed via a tremie. The end of the tube must remain embedded a minimum of 4 feet into the concrete at all times.
All shaft construction must be observed and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer. Any shafts constructed without the full knowledge and continuous observation of Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. will render the recommendations of this report invalid.
7.3.5 Settlements
Total and differential settlements beneath the proposed retaining wall are expected to be within tolerable limits under static conditions. Vertical movements are not expected to exceed 1 inch. Differential movements are expected to be within the normal range (½ inch) for the anticipated loads.
7.5 Plan Review
The recommendations presented in this report are based on preliminary design information for the proposed project and on the findings of our geotechnical investigation. When completed, the Grading Plans, Foundation Plans and design loads should be reviewed by Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. prior to submitting the plans and contract bidding. Additional field exploration and laboratory testing may be required upon review of the final project design plans.
7.6 Observation and Testing
Field observation and testing must be provided by a representative of Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. to enable them to form an opinion regarding the adequacy of the site preparation, the adequacy of fill materials, and the extent to which the earthwork is performed in accordance with the geotechnical conditions
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 17
present, the requirements of the regulating agencies, the project specifications, and the recommendations presented in this report. Any earthwork performed in connection with the subject project without the full knowledge of, and not under the direct observation of Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc., will render the recommendations of this report invalid.
Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. should be notified at least 5 working days prior to any site clearing or other earthwork operations on the subject project in order to observe the stripping and disposal of unsuitable materials and to ensure coordination with the grading contractor. During this period, a preconstruction meeting should be held on the site to discuss project specifications, observation and testing requirements and responsibilities, and scheduling.
8.0 LIMITATIONS
The recommendations contained in this report are based on our field explorations, laboratory testing, and our understanding of the proposed construction. The subsurface data used in the preparation of this report was obtained from the borings drilled during our field investigation. Variation in soil, geologic, and groundwater conditions can vary significantly between sample locations. As in most projects, conditions revealed during construction excavation may be at variance with preliminary findings. If this occurs, the changed conditions must be evaluated by the Project Geotechnical Engineer and the Geologist, and revised recommendations be provided as required. In addition, if the scope of the proposed construction changes from the described in this report, our firm should also be notified. Our investigation was performed in accordance with the usual and current standards of the profession, as they relate to this and similar localities. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is provided as to the conclusions and professional advice presented in this report. This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the Owner, or of his Representative, to ensure that the information and recommendations contained herein are brought to the attention of the Architect and Engineer for the project and incorporated into the plans, and that it is ensured that the Contractor and Subcontractors implement such recommendations in the field. The use of information contained in this report for bidding purposes should be done at the Contractor’s option and risk. This firm does not practice or consult in the field of safety engineering. We do not direct the Contractor's operations, and we are not responsible for other than our own
Geotechnical Investigation – Design Phase November 21, 2014 County of Monterey New Juvenile Hall Project No. 14-122-M Salinas, CA Page 18
personnel on the site; therefore, the safety of others is the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor should notify the Owner if he considers any of the recommended actions presented herein to be unsafe. The findings of this report are considered valid as of the present date. However, changes in the conditions of a site can occur with the passage of time, whether they be due to natural events or to human activities on this or adjacent sites. In addition, changes in applicable or appropriate codes and standards may occur, whether they result from legislation or the broadening of knowledge. Accordingly, this report may become invalidated wholly or partially by changes outside our control. Therefore, this report is subject to review and revision as changed conditions are identified. The scope of our services mutually agreed upon did not include any environmental assessment or study for the presence of hazardous to toxic materials in the soil, surface water, or air, on or below or around the site. Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. is not a mold prevention consultant; none of our services performed in connection with the proposed project are for the purpose of mold prevention. Proper implementation of the recommendations conveyed in our reports will not itself be sufficient to prevent mold from growing in or on the structures involved.

FIELD EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
Subsurface conditions were explored by advancing 22 borings below existing grade. All borings were advanced using a six inch solid stem truck mounted auger. The Key to The Logs and the Logs of the Borings are included in Appendix B, Figures B-3 through B-25. The approximate locations of the borings are shown on the Boring Site Plan, Figure B-2. The drill holes were located in the field by tape measurements from known landmarks. Their locations as shown are therefore within the accuracy of such measurement. The soils encountered in the borings were continuously logged in the field by a representative of Butano Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. Bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples for identification and laboratory testing were obtained in the field. These soils were classified based on field observations and laboratory tests. The classification is in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (Figure B-3).

LABORATORY TESTING PROCEDURES
Classification Soils were classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System in accordance with ASTM D 2487 and D 2488. Moisture content and dry density determinations were made for representative, relatively undisturbed samples in accordance with ASTM D 2216. Results of moisture-density determinations, together with classifications, are shown on the Boring Logs, Figures B-4 through B-17. Particle Size Analysis Six sieves were performed on representative samples in accordance with ASTM D 422. The grain size distributions from the result of the particle size analysis are presented in Figures C-1 through C-6. Expansion Index Three expansion index tests were performed on representative bulk samples of the foundation zone soil in accordance with ASTM D 4829-03. The results are shown on the Boring Logs, Figures B-4 through B-25.
Swell Test Three one-dimensional swell tests were performed on representative relatively undisturbed samples in accordance with ASTM D-4546. The results are presented in Figures C-7 through C-9 and shown on the boring logs Figures B-4 through B-25.
Unconfined Compression Unconfined compression tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D 2166. The results are shown on the boring logs Figures B-4 through B-17.

APPENDIX D
PERCOLATION TESTING PROCEDURES Constant head percolation tests were performed at four location on the parcel (B13 through B16). The holes were filled with water to a height of approximately 12 inches from the base of the hole. The approximate locations of the test holes are shown on the boring site plan in Appendix B, Figure B-2 The holes were logged in the field during the drilling process. Test holes were drilled with 6-inch diameter solid stem truck mounted equipment. Perforated pipe was inserted to prevent potential collapse of the test holes and approximately 2 to 3 inches of clean, crushed ⅜” gravel was placed at the bottom of the holes as well as around the annulus of the pipe. The test holes were pre-soaked 24 hours prior to percolation testing. The percolation rates for B14 and B16 were recorded every 30 minutes and every 10 minutes for B13 and B15. The following rate reports the average of 3 consecutive measurements within 10% of each other.
Percolation Test Hole Depth (in) Percolation Rate (in/hr)
