LESTER-SHRINER PROPERTY 132-8-2 Page A-1 APPENDIX A: CURRENT FIELD INVESTIGATION A more recent field investigation was performed on the Shriner Parcel and consisted of a surface reconnaissance and a subsurface exploration program using track-mounted hollow- stem auger drilling equipment and 4-wheel drive backhoe equipment. Two 8-inch-diameter exploratory borings were drilled on October 7, 2014, to depths of approximately 25 to 31 feet. Eight exploratory test pits were also performed on August 30, 2014, to depths ranging from approximately 5 to 15 feet. The approximate locations of exploratory borings test pits are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2. The soils encountered were continuously logged in the field by our representative and described in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2488). Boring and test pit logs, as well as a key to the classification of the soil and bedrock, are included as part of this appendix. Exploration locations were approximated using existing site boundaries, a hand held GPS unit, and other site features as references. Exploration elevations were based on interpolation of plan contours. The locations and elevations of the borings and test pits should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. Representative soil samples were obtained from the borings at selected depths. All samples were returned to our laboratory for evaluation and appropriate testing. Disturbed samples were obtained with 2.5-inch I.D. dry core sampler that was hydraulically pushed out in advance of the drill bit during auger drilling. The percent recovery of each 5-foot-long dry core interval is recorded on the boring log at the appropriate sample depth. The standard penetration resistance blow counts were obtained by dropping a 140-pound hammer through a 30-inch free fall. The 2-inch O.D. split-spoon sampler was driven 18 inches and the number of blows was recorded for each 6 inches of penetration (ASTM D1586). Unless otherwise indicated, the blows per foot recorded on the boring log represent the accumulated number of blows required to drive the last 12 inches. The various samplers are denoted at the appropriate depth on the boring logs. Attached boring and test pit logs and related information depict subsurface conditions at the locations indicated. Subsurface conditions at other locations may differ from conditions occurring at these exploration locations. The passage of time may result in altered subsurface conditions due to environmental changes. In addition, any stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundary between soil types and the transition may be gradual. Ii! CORNERSTONE EARTH GROUP
