( "Wohlers Environmental ") has completed a -.. geotechnical engineering investigation related to the design and construction of a proposed new McDonald's Corporation ( "McDonald's ") restaurant located at the intersection of Highway 99 and S.W. 72nd Avenue in Tigard, Oregon as shown on Figure 1, "Site Vicinity Map ". Based on the results of our investigation, the site is geotechnically suitable for the proposed construction. Key design items are summarized below, and are discussed in greater detail in the body of this report. Soils: The surface of the site is blanketed with approximately 18 inches of topsoil. Below the zone of topsoil, clayey silts were encountered to the maximum depths explored, 10 feet. See Section 3.2.1. Ground Water: At the time of our site investigation on July 9, 1996, ground water was not encountered in any of the four test pits excavated on the site. It should be anticipated that near surface ground water may be present during some times of the year primarily in the form of a temporary "perched" water table within the low permeability near - surface soils. See Section 3.2.2. Site Earthwork Recommendations: We estimate that it will be necessary to strip 12 to 18 inches of undesirable material from most of the site, although variations in depth may occur. After stripping and excavating to final grades, but before installing any new fills, we recommend that the site surface be scarified, brought to near optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 92% relative compaction (modified proctor). Recommendations have been provided that assume most earthwork can be accomplished during dry weather. Attempting to proceed with site grading activities during wet weather could add significantly to site preparation costs. See Section 4.1. Existing Utilities: Two water lines are currently located beneath Villa Ridge Road. One of these lines is a "feeder" line for the City of Tigard. Conversations with representatives of the Tualatin Valley Water District indicate it ' not a possible to relocate the two lines, conduct grading and filling operations, or construct buildings over the lines. The proposed restaurant building location may therefore need to be adjusted to avoid conflicts with these water lines. Structural Fill: The near surface, onsite soils, excluding topsoil and existing fill, are adequate for use as structural fill material, if properly moisture - conditioned. If fills must be placed during wet weather, it may be necessary to import clean, granular, well graded fill material. See Section 4.1.4. Compaction: We recommend that structural fills be compacted to at least 92% of maximum density (ASTM T -180 or ASTM D 1557). See Section 4.1.5. Slopes: We recommend that finished cut or fill slopes up to eight feet in height not exceed 2H:1 V (Horizontal: Vertical) unless they are specifically reviewed by a geotechnical engineer. Excavations that are deeper than four feet should be adequately sloped or shored. See Section 4.1.6. Foundations: Conventional shallow isolated or continuous spread footings that are a minimum of 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep may be designed for a maximum bearing pressure of 1,500 pounds per square foot. See Section 4.2. Retaining Walls: Conventional cantilever retaining walls with a level backslo and adequate drainage should be designed for an equivalent fluid pressure 35 pcf. See Section 4.3. Sign Foundations: Pole foundations for signs should be designed in accordance with UBC procedures, assuming a Class 5 soil. See Section 4.4. Floor Slabs: We recommend that any slabs on grade be established on a minimum six inch thick layer of compacted, clean, well graded sand and gravel or crushed rock. If floor coverings or the glues attaching floor coverings are moisture sensitive, we recommend the installation of an impervious membrane between the bottom of the floor slab and the granular layer. See Section 4.5. Pavement Design: We recommend a pavement section of 2.5 inches of asphalt concrete over six inches of aggregate base in general parking and traffic areas. In areas of concentrated traffic and areas used by heavy vehicles, we recommend increasing the section to - inches of asphalt concrete over eight inches of aggregate base or 3.5 inches of asphalt over six inches of aggregate base. See Section 4.7. This summary is intended for introductory and reference use only. A thorough reading of the entire report is essential for understanding the total design concepts and limitations. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Section Page No. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 GENERAL 1 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1 2.0 FIELD AND LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS 2 2.1 FIELD EXPLORATION 2 2.2 LABORATORY TESTING 2 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS 4 3.1 SURFACE CONDITIONS 4 3.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 4 3.2.1 Soils 4 3.2.2 Ground Water 4 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5 4.1 SITE EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS 5 4.1.1 Site Preparation 5 4.1.2 Construction in Dry Weather 5 4.1.3 Proof Rolling 6 4.1.4 Structural Fill Material 6 4.1.5 Compaction Criteria 6 4.1.6 Slopes 7 4.1.7 Fill Settlements 7 4.2 FOUNDATION SUPPORT 7 4.2.1 Foundations 7 4.2.2 Bearing Pressure 8 4.2.3 Settlement 8 4.3 RETAINING WALLS 8 4.3.1 Retaining Wall Design Parameters 8 4.3.2 Non - Restrained Walls 9 4.3.3 Restrained Walls 9 4.3.4 Retaining Wall Backfill 9 4.3.5 Backfill Drainage 9 4.4 SIGN FOUNDATIONS 10 4.5 FLOOR SLABS 10 4.6 ONSITE DRAINAGE 10 4.7 PAVEMENT DESIGN 10 5.0 QUALIFICATIONS 12 iii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1 Site Vicinity Map Figure 2 Test Pit Location Map APPENDICES APPENDIX A: FIELD INVESTIGATION RESULTS Figure A -1 Legend of Terms and Symbols Used on Test Pit Logs Figure A -2 to A -5 Test Pit Logs TP -1 to TP -4 iv GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING INVESTIGATION McDONALD'S CORPORATION/TIGARD, OREGON 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL Wohlers Environmental Services, Inc. ( "Wohlers Environmental ") has completed a geotechnical engineering investigation related to design and construction of a proposed new McDonald's Corporation ( "McDonald's ") restaurant located on the southwestern corner of the intersection of Highway 99 and S.W. 72nd Avenue in Tigard, Oregon as shown on Figure 1 "Site Vicinity Map ". The purpose of the geotechnical exploration was to explore and evaluate the surface and subsurface conditions at the site, and based on the conditions encountered, provide recommendations pertaining to geotechnical aspects of the proposed restaurant. Based on the results of our study, the proposed project is considered geotechnically feasible, provided the recommendations presented in this report are implemented during design and construction. 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed site occupies approximatel 34,442 square feet 0.79 acres) and is located on the southwestern corner of the intersection : . ' • 9 an. .W. 72nd Avenue in Tigard, Oregon. The site is currently vacant and was apparently formerly utilized as an orchard and garden. The former roadbed of S.W. Villa Ridge Road is located on the northern portion of the site. The recent construction of S.W. 72nd Avenue removed Villa Ridge Road on the eastern site boundary. Villa Ridge Road is no longer in use. A general site map showing the location and layout of the site is attached as Figure 2. Our understanding of the proposed development is that the restaurant will be located on the eastern portion of the site with parking on the northern and western side of the restaurant building. Because of the existing ground slope at this site, a retaining wall may be required to develop a level building site. The purpose of this report is to provide geotechnical recommendations related to site preparation and grading, building and sign foundations, and pavements. Geotechnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 1 WES Project No. 96 -0059 2.0 FIELD AND LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS 2.1 FIELD EXPLORATION A site reconnaissance and subsurface geotechnical exploration investigation was conducted at the project site on July 9, 1996. The geotechnical subsurface exploration activities consisted of the excavation and sampling of four exploratory test pits using a Case 580K backhoe and conducting a magnetometer scan of the site. The test pits were excavated to approximately 10 feet below surface grade (bsg). Based on our understanding of the planned location of the proposed restaurant building, test pits TP -1 and TP -2 were excavated outside the site boundary in the approximate center of a proposed access road. Test pit TP -3 was excavated in the approximate center of the proposed restaurant building footprint and test pit TP -4 was excavated in the proposed parking area immediately west of the proposed restaurant building. The location of two City of Portland water supply lines beneath and adjacent to Villa Ridge Road prevented the excavation of two additional test pits on the northern portion of the site j adjacent to the footprint of the proposed restaurant building. At the completion of excavation and sampling, the test pits were backfilled with the excavated material. Approximate test pit locations are shown on the Site Map, Figure 2. Test pits were located in the field by pacing from known site features. As such, the locations of the test pits should be considered approximate. Representative soils samples were collected from the four test pits and logged by a Wohlers Environmental Registered Geologist. Appendix A contains field test pit logs. A magnetometer survey was also conducted on the site by a utility clearance subcontractor in conjunction with excavation of the test pits. The magnetometer survey was conducted to assess for the potential presence of abandoned Underground Storage Tanks (USTs), metal debris and other subsurface metallic objects that could pose environmental concerns or impact construction of the proposed restaurant building. Two subsurface anomalies observed during the magnetometer survey were excavated following completion of the test pits revealing metal debris. According to the subcontractor, no other apparent magnetic anomalies were identified which possessed the characteristic signature of buried USTs or metal drums. 2.2 LABORATORY TESTING Soil samples that were collected from the test pits were returned to an analytical laboratory for visual classification and evaluation. Testing included natural soil moisture contents which are summarized on the following page.

Interpretations of the site conditions are based on our site reconnaissance and subsurface exploration activities. 3.1 SURFACE CONDITIONS The site slopes moderately downward to the south, toward the parking lot for the Tigard Cinemas facility. Steep cut slopes of approximately 3H:1 V (horizontal to vertical) and up to a maximum of approximately eight feet high, are present along the east property line. These surface estimates are based on a non - exhaustive visual review and are included for general information only. No topography data were available at the time of preparation of our report and survey measurements were not completed during our explorations. The site apparently was formerly used for agricultural purposes, potentially as an orchard and/or garden. The site is covered by grass, blackberry vines and small trees. A detailed account of the known history of the site is included in the Wohlers Environmental Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) dated July 17, 1996. 3.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS As discussed in Section 2. I, subsurface conditions at the site were explored by means of four exploratory test pits. The general subsurface soil conditions encountered are discussed below. 3.2.1 Soils The project site appears to be underlain by native clayey silts to the maximum depths explored, approximately 10 feet below existing grade. The surface of the site is blanketed with a fairly thick layer of topsoil (18 inches thick), probably due to historic farming activities. Although we did not explore conditions beneath the abandoned portion of Villa Ridge Road, it is probable that fills in that area are associated with road and utility construction. 3.2.2 Ground Water At the time of our site investigation on July 9, 1996, free water was not encountered in any of our explorations. Soils were moist to wet, however, at the bottom of several of the test pits. Based on soil characteristics, it is possible that a layer of near - surface perched water may develop in the upper soils during prolonged wet weather. Geotechnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 4 WES Project No. 96 -0059 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS It is our opinion that the site is geotechnically suitable for the construction of a restaurant as planned, provided the recommendations of this report are incorporated in project design and construction. 4.1 SITE EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS At the time that this report was prepared, the extent of earthwork required for this project had not been fully communicated to us. Because of the slope of the site's surface, it appears probable that cuts /fills of up to six to e jgbt feet may be required. • 4.1.1 Site Preparation All areas of the site that will receive compacted fill, pavement or structures should be stripped to a depth that is sufficient to remove all topsoil, debris, organics, old fill, and any other deleterious material. This should include the removal of areas of existing pavement to expose a firm soil subgrade. We estimate that, in general, it will be necessary to strip approximately 12 to 18 inches from most of the site. Although topsoil thicknesses were measured at about 18 inches, there was a gradual transition from organic to no- organic soil. It should not be necessary to remove all of the material classified as topsoil. After stripping we recommend that the resulting subgrade be observed by a representative of our firm and that any areas of soft or undesirable soil should be over - excavated. Stripped materials will not generally be suitable for re -use as compacted fills and should either be stockpiled for possible later use in landscaped areas or exported from the site. We understand that two water lines (both active and partly abandoned) exist beneath the abandoned portion of Villa Ridge Road. We further understand that the existing water lines under this road may remain in their present locations and continue in service following building construction. The proposed building appears to be located above these buried utility lines. Wohlers Environmental personnel contacted Mr. Stu Davis at the Tualatin Valley Water District for information regarding these two water lines. Mr. Davis indicated it will not be possible to either move the water lines or construct the restaurant building over the lines. According to Mr. Davis, a utility right -of -way seven and one half feet in width must also be maintained on either side of the water lines where construction or grading is prohibited. The proposed building location may, therefore, need to be adjusted to avoid conflicts with these water lines. �-- - 4.1.2 Construction in Dry Weather Moisture sensitive silts were encountered at this site to the maximum depths explored. These soils will be difficult to grade and compact when their water contents differ appreciably from optimum. We assume that most earthwork will be accomplished during dry weather, when adequate moisture control can be achieved. If grading is attempted during wet weather, or Geotechnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 5 WES Project No. 96 -0059 under other conditions that prevent adequate moisture control, we should be contacted for additional recommendations. These recommendations will probably include the import of a clean, granular fill to serve as a working surface to protect the onsite fine grained soils. Attempting to proceed with construction during wet weather could add significantly to site preparation costs. In all areas that will receive fill, base course, or pavement, the site should be stripped as discussed above. Following stripping, the native silts should be scarified to a depth of at least six inches, brought to near optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 92% relative compaction. Relative compaction should be based on the modified Proctor test method (AASHTO T -180 or ASTM D1557). 4.1.3 Proof Rolling Following subgrade preparation, and prior to placement of fill or basecourse, we recommend that the site be proof rolled with a fully- loaded 10 to 12 yard dump truck. Any areas that pump, weave, or appear soft or muddy should be scarified, dried and compacted, or else over - excavated and backfilled with compacted granular fill. If significant time passes between the completion of subgrade preparation and commencement of other construction activities, or if significant traffic has been routed across the site, we recommend that the site be similarly proof rolled before final placement of base rock or paving. A qualified geotechnical engineer should observe this operation. 4.1.4 Structural Fill Material Structural fills are defined as any fills that are intended to support pavements, buildings, or that are placed on slopes exceeding 5H:1 V. Structural fill material should consist of relatively well graded soil that is free of organic material and debris. The near surface soils at this site, excluding topsoil and existing fills, are adequate for use as structural fill material if properly moisture conditioned. Because the near surface soils have a very high fines content, they will be moisture sensitive and will require close moisture content control if placed as structural fill. At the time of our explorations these soils had moisture contents in the range of 29% to 35 %. These would have to be reduced to about 15% for adequate compaction. If these soils become saturated due to exposure to rain, they will become virtually impossible to compact until conditions develop that will allow them to dry sufficiently for adequate compaction to be achieved. If fills must be placed during wet weather it will probably be necessary to import clean, granular, well graded fill material (sand or sand and gravel) that has a silt and clay content (those particles passing a US Standard No. 200 sieve) that is less than about 5% by weight. 4.1.5 Compaction Criteria Gcotcchnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 6 WES Project No. 96 -0059 We recommend that structural fills that are intended to support pavement or structures be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding about eight inches in thickness and be compacted to at least 92% of the maximum dry density as determined by the AASHTO T -180 or ASTM D1557 method of compaction (modified Proctor). This could be reduced to 85% in landscaping or planter areas where some surface settlement would be acceptable. 4.1.6 Slopes Permanent Slopes. The extent of permanent cut or fill slopes anticipated for this project was not known at the time that this report was prepared. We recommend that finished cut or fill slopes up to eight feet in height be no steeper than 2H:1 V (Horizontal: Vertical). Steeper slopes and any slopes over eight feet in height should be reviewed by our firm. All permanent slopes will require erosion protection. Temporary Slopes. Temporary slopes may be required for utility installation or other construction operations. Although the near surface, fine grained soils encountered on this site will stand on near vertical slopes for short periods of time, they may collapse suddenly and without warning. Any excavations that are deeper than four feet in depth should be adequately sloped or shored. In the absence of ground water, unshored temporary cuts may be sloped at 1H: 1 V for cuts not exceeding eight feet in depth. If water is encountered or if excavations are deeper than eight feet, they should be braced or a geotechnical engineer contacted for additional recommendations. With time and the presence of precipitation, the stability of temporary, unsupported cut slopes can be significantly reduced. Consequently, the contractor should monitor the stability of the temporary cut slopes and adjust the construction schedule and slope inclination accordingly. State and local regulations may require the use of flatter slopes than those recommended above. It should be made the contractor's responsibility to fully comply with all pertinent laws concerning worker health and safety. 4.1.7 Fill Settlements For fills that are less than five to six feet thick, fill settlements are estimated to be less than 3/4 inch. The majority of fill settlement should occur during or shortly after fill construction. 4.2 FOUNDATION SUPPORT 4.2.1 Foundations Shallow, conventional isolated or continuous spread footings may be used to support the relatively light loads of the proposed structure. All footing excavations should be trimmed Geotechnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 7 WES Project No. 96 -0059 neat and footing subgrades should be carefully prepared. Any loose or softened material should be removed from the footing excavation prior to placing rebar. It is recommended th the footing excavations be observed by a representative from our firm prior to placing steel and concrete to verify that the recommendations of this report have been followed, and that an appropriate bearing stratum is exposed and prepared. 4.2.2 Bearing Pressure Footings that are installed in accordance with the preceding recommendations, and that are a minimum of 12 inches wide and 12 inche s - :w the lowest adjacent exterior grade, may be designed for bearing pressures u. :di a1 • unds per square foot. This applies to dead plus frequently applied live loads and a - T - increased by up to one -third for the inclusion of wind or seismic forces. 4.2.3 Settlement For foundations that are designed and installed as described above, we estimate that settlements will not exceed one inch. Differential settlements are not expected to exceed 50 percent of the total. These estimates assume that wall loads do not exceed three kips per foot and column loads do not exceed 60 kips. 4.3 RETAINING WALLS We understand that a low retaining wall (less than eight feet high) may be required on portions of the site. Details and location of this wall are not known. 4.3.1 Retaining Wall Design Parameters Lateral soil pressures on retaining walls depend on several factors including retained soil type, amount of wall movement (rotation) that is allowed, and drainage provisions. Our recommendations are based on the following assumptions: • Retaining walls will be installed by sloping excavation sides and backfilling with clean granular backfill. • All backfill that is installed within three feet, measured horizontally, from the wall will consist of crushed rock, in accordance with section 4.3.4 of this report. • Adequate subsurface drainage will be provided, by means of either weep holes or a perforated subdrain system. • Walls will be less than eight feet high. If shoring will be used in lieu of sloped excavations, or if any other of the above assumptions are not correct we should be contacted for additional recommendations. Geotechnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 8 WES Project No. 96 -0059 4.3.2 Non - Restrained Walls Non - restrained walls have no restraint at the top and are free to rotate about their base. Lateral movement at the top of the wall can be up to 0.005 times the wall height. Most - gravity and cantilever retaining walls fall into this category. The following table summarizes estimated equivalent fluid pressures for use with non - restrained walls. These coefficients are based on a Rankine analysis, which assumes zero wall friction. This is a conservative assumption that we consider to be appropriate for preliminary designs. Once a final wall type is selected it may be possible to incorporate an allowance for wall friction, depending upon the wall type, water proofing materials and backfill conditions. The tabulated coefficients do not contain a factor of safety. Selection of a design factor of safety will depend on the design method used, and on the assumptions made regarding wall friction. Slope Adjacent to Wail;. Acttve'Equivalent Fluid Passive Equivalent Fluid ,.Pressure lb /cu: fft ` Pressure lb. /cu f Level 35 350 2H:1 V (towards wall) 75 N/A 2H:1 V (away from wall) N/A 40 4.3.3 Restrained Walls Restrained walls are any walls that are prevented from rotation during backfilling. Basement walls that are restrained at the top by a building floor normally fall into the category of restrained walls. At the present time we understand that no basement or other restrained walls are proposed for this site. 4.3.4 Retaining Wall Backfill Backfill behind retaining walls should consist of free draining granular material (sand or sand and gravel with no more than 5% by weight passing a number 200 sieve). We recommend that this fill be compacted to between 90% and 92% relative compaction (AASHTO T -180). In addition, we recommend that any backfill that is placed within three feet (measured horizontally) of the wall be compacted with light - weight, hand - operated compaction equipment. Overcompaction of this fill can greatly increase wall pressures. If any foundations, or other major loads, are supported on the backfill this can also increase wall pressures and we should be contacted for additional recommendations. 4.3.5 Backfill Drainage Retaining wall backfill should be adequately drained to prevent the build up of hydrostatic pressures against the wall. We recommend that all walls be provided with a perforated pipe Geotechnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 9 WES Project No. 96 -0059 subdrain that is embedded in free draining crushed rock and wrapped in a suitable filter fabric, or else weep holes should be installed at no more than four feet on center. After a wall type and location has been selected we would be happy to provide typical drainage details. 4.4 SIGN FOUNDATIONS Sign and light pole foundations constructed as post or pol- e • s - ... . ' I earth or concrete footings should be designed in accordance with the 1991 Unified :.' s ing Code (UBC), Section 2907(g). For sign and light pole foundat' • n deli a . ; . rposes, the near surface soils encountered in the southeastern corner of this site, the assumed location of the restaurant sign, are consistent with Material Class 5 in Table No. 29 B of the UBC. 4.5 FLOOR SLABS We understand that floor slabs will be constructed at or above adjacent site grades and that there will be no below grade spaces. In preparation for the construction of the floor slabs, we recommend that, after subgrade preparation in accordance with Section 4.1 of this report, a minimum six inch thick layer of compacted, well graded sand and gravel or crushed rock be installed between the floor slab and the prepared subgrade. Gradation requirements of this material should be similar to those specified for one inch minus base in Table 02630 -1, Grading Requirements -Base Aggregates, of the 1991 Oregon Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, with the added requirement that no more than 5% by weight shall pass a US Standard No. 200 sieve. We recommend the granular layer be compacted to at least 92% of the maximum dry density as determined by the AASHTO T- 180 or ASTM D1557 methods (modified Proctor). Because there is a potential for shallow, perched ground water, some floor moisture could develop even with the use of a crushed rock base course. If floor coverings or the glues attaching floor coverings are moisture sensitive, we recommend the installation of an impervious membrane between the bottom of the floor slab and the granular layer. Normally a thin sand layer is placed above the membrane to assist in the curing of the concrete slab. 4.6 ONSITE DRAINAGE The site grading plan should allow for surface flow away from the building per UBC requirements, and roof downspouts should be connected to the storm water system. 4.7 PAVEMENT DESIGN Areas that are to receive pavement should be stripped and prepared in accordance with the recommendations in Section 4.1. We recommend that the top eight inches of subgrade be compacted to 95% relative compaction (AASHTO T -180 or ASTM D1557). Geotechnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 10 WES Project No. 96 - 0059 F - ( u - V r i t- ‘ ) For general parking and traffic areas, we recommend a pavement section of 2.5 inches of asphalt concrete over six inches of aggregate base. In areas of concentrated traffic such as entrance and exit bays, and main drive lanes, and areas used by heavy vehicles such as delivery and garbage trucks, we recommend that the section be increased tot a inches of asphalt over eight inches of aggregate base or 3.5 inches of asphalt over six inches of aggregate .base. r� , V �'v ,O We recommend that Class C asphalt cement be used that conforms to Section 00745 of the cd, 4 e r• 1991 Oregon Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway e 1 K— Construction. The aggregate base material should conform to Section 02630 of the Standard Specifications for 1.5 inch minus material. Geotechnical Engineering Investigation July 19, 1996 McDonald's Corporation/Tigard, Oregon 11 WES Project No. 96 -0059 5.0 QUALIFICATIONS We have prepared this report for use in design of a portion of the proposed new McDonald's restaurant in Tigard, Oregon. The data and report should be provided to prospective contractors for their bidding or estimating purposes; however, the conclusions and interpretations presented in this report should not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions. Experience has shown that subsurface soil and ground/water conditions can vary significantly over small distances. Inconsistent conditions can occur between explorations and not be detected by a geotechnical study. If, during future site operations, subsurface conditions are encountered which vary appreciably from those described herein, we should be notified for review of the recommendations of this report, and revision of such if necessary. This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner, or the owner's representative, to ensure that the information and recommendations contained herein are brought to the attention of the appropriate design team personnel and are incorporated into the project plans and specifications, and the necessary steps are taken to see that the contractor and subcontractors carry out such recommendations in the field. We recommend that we be retained to review the plans and specifications to verify that our recommendations have been interpreted and implemented as intended. Sufficient geotechnical monitoring, testing and consultation should be provided during construction to confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by explorations, to provide recommendations for design changes should conditions revealed during construction differ from those anticipated, and to verify that the geotechnical aspects of construction comply with the contract plans and specifications. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget, we attempted to execute these services in accordance with generally accepted professional principles and practices in the fields of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology in the area at the time the report was prepared. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. The scope of the work performed as part of this report did not include environmental assessments or evaluations regarding the presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic substances in the soil, surface water, or groundwater at this site. We do not practice or consult in the field of safety engineering. We do not direct the contractor's operations, and we cannot be responsible for the safety of personnel other than our own on the site; 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 unsafe.
