About this file

This is a set of geotechnical boring logs from a civil engineering investigation for the Sand Pond Project conducted for the Tahoe National Forest (Tahoe NF) client. The drilling was performed on September 3, 2020, using force account hand auger equipment with a 1.5-inch diameter bit and Humbolt DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) hammer weighing 15 pounds with a 20-inch drop height.

Eight boreholes (Holes 1-8) were drilled to depths ranging from 2.3 feet to 12 feet, with groundwater encountered at approximately 9 feet from the uphill side at an elevation of 97. Soil conditions across the site consist of surficial organics overlying tan to light fine sands with varying saturation levels, followed by darker brown organics and silts. Deeper soils include greenish-gray glacial outwash silts and blue-green saturated silts. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) blow counts and dry density measurements are documented for each depth interval. Notable observations include boulders present on the surface creating augering difficulties, liquefiable saturated fine sand encountered in multiple holes, and a requirement that foundations be established at least 5.0+ feet below surface. Cone penetrometer resistance data and cone penetration test curves are provided graphically for comparative soil analysis across the boring locations.
