EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For your convenience, this report is summarized in outline form below. This brief summary should not be used for design or construction purposes without reviewing the more detailed conclusions and recommendations contained in this report.
1. The subsurface exploration included a visual site reconnaissance, performance of ten (10)
Standard Penetration Test borings to depths of approximately 10 to 20 feet below the ground surface, and quantitative laboratory testing.
2. Borings encountered approximately 7 to 9 inches of surficial topsoil. Below topsoil, undisturbed residual soils (typically low to high plasticity clays) were encountered. Materials refusing auger advancement were encountered in one boring at a depth of approximately 13.5 feet below the ground surface. Water was encountered in most borings at depths ranging from approximately 8 to 14 feet below the ground surface.
3. The clays encountered in the borings are very moisture sensitive and were measured to be very wet of optimum compaction moisture. We recommend that site grading be conducted during the typically warmer summer months.
4. Relatively lightweight soils were encountered on the site. Frequent challenges with these types of soils are that they can deteriorate very quickly under construction traffic and often exhibit relatively high moisture. As such, frequent repairs to these soils can be needed, especially during poor prevailing weather conditions. Repairs can become extensive during poor weather. We recommend that appropriate project budget contingencies be appropriated for this potential risk.
5. In cut-to-grade areas of the building pad, highly plastic soils should be undercut to a depth of
2 feet or lime stabilized.
6. On-site low plasticity soils, excluding topsoil and debris-laden soils, should be suitable for re-use as structural fill. Highly plastic soils should not be re-used as structural fill within 3 feet of finished soil subgrades in the building area. If suitable low-plasticity soils are not available on site for use in the building area, importing of these materials will be required. Again, the near-surface clays were measured to be very wet of optimum compaction moisture and are likely to require drying prior to their re-use as structural fill. The addition of lime (AASHTO M216) can be used to aid in the drying process.
7. The proposed building may be supported on shallow foundations bearing in approved undisturbed soils or new structural fill overlying undisturbed soils.
8. Recommended pavement sections are presented in the body of the report. Due to the presence of relatively weak on-site soils, we recommend that the subgrade soils beneath heavy-duty pavements be lined with a woven geotextile fabric (Mirafi HP270 or similar).
9. If actual structural loading and finished grade elevations differ from those assumed in this report, we must be contacted to confirm or modify the recommendations of this report.

Attention: Mr. Mark Manetti
Re: Geotechnical Engineering Report
Stafford County Fire Station #8
Mountain View Road
Stafford County, Virginia
Timmons Group Project No. 61165.002
Mr. Manetti:
Timmons Group is pleased to submit this geotechnical engineering report for the referenced project. The objectives of our services were to explore subsurface conditions and provide our geotechnical recommendations for site grading, foundation support, and pavement support.
1. PROJECT INFORMATION
The project site is located on Mountain View Road, just west of its intersection with Rock Hill
Church Road, in Stafford County, Virginia. Based on Stafford County GIS mapping the site is identified as Parcel 17J 1A. The site is bordered by Mountain View Road to the south, tree lines to the north and east, and an empty field to the west. A Site Vicinity Map is shown on Figure 1 in
Appendix A. Currently the project site consists of an existing agricultural field.
The proposed development at this site is expected to consist of a new single-story fire station building, asphalt drive aisles and parking areas, and a stormwater management pond. Based on information provided by the project team, we have assumed the maximum column and wall loads for the proposed building will not exceed roughly 100 kips and 6 kips per linear foot, respectively.
Based on the grading plan provided to use at the time of this report, we expect the Finished Floor
Elevation (FFE) of the building to be 314.5 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL). Furthermore, based on this grading plan, we expect maximum cut and fill depths will not exceed approximately 5 feet.
Geotechnical Engineering Report Project No. 61165.002

2. FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration included a visual site reconnaissance by a representative of Timmons Group and performance of ten (10) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings (B-01 through B-10). Boring locations were selected by Timmons Group. A representative of Timmons Group established boring locations in the field by using GPS equipment and measuring from existing landmarks.
Approximate boring locations are shown on Figure 2 in Appendix A.
Borings were performed to depths of approximately 10 to 20 feet below the existing ground surface using hollow stem auger drilling techniques with a CME-20 drill rig. Refusal drilling conditions were encountered in Boring B-06 at a depth of approximately 13.5 feet below existing grades.
Split-spoon samples of subsurface soils were taken within soil test borings at approximate 2-foot intervals above a depth of 10 feet and at 5-foot intervals below 10 feet. Several bulk samples of near-surface soil cuttings were also collected from select boring locations. Standard Penetration
Tests (SPT) were conducted in conjunction with split-spoon sampling in general accordance with
ASTM D 1586.
The CME-20 drill rig is equipped with a hydraulic automatic hammer. Standard Penetration Tests were performed with the autohammer and not with a traditional rope, cathead and safety hammer.
Research has shown that the Standard Penetration resistance (N-value) determined by the autohammer is different than the N-value determined by the safety hammer method. Most correlations that are published in the technical literature are based on the N-value determined by the safety hammer method. This is commonly termed N60 as the rope and cathead with a safety hammer delivers about 60 percent of the theoretical energy delivered by a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. Several researchers have proposed correction factors for the use of hammers other than the safety hammer. The correction is made by the following equation:
N60 = Nfield *CE
Nfield is the value recorded in the field and N60 is the value to be used in correlation. CE is the energy correction factor for the hammer used. A correction factor of 1.6 should be used for borings performed with the CME-20 drilling rig. The N-values reported on Test Boring Records are the actual, field derived blow counts (Nfield). However, only corrected results should be used for analysis. For example, a field recorded SPT N-value of 5 blows per foot on this project may be corrected to 8 blows per foot for analysis, and so on.
Water levels were measured in open boreholes at the time of drilling. Upon completion, boreholes were backfilled up to the original ground surface with drill cuttings. Representative portions of split-spoon soil samples and the bulk samples were returned to our laboratory for quantitative
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025 testing and visual classification in general accordance with Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS) guidelines.
Boring logs and a generalized soil profile (Figure 3), which present specific information from the borings, are included in the Appendices. Stratification lines shown on the boring logs and profile are intended to represent approximate depths of changes in soil types. Naturally, transitional changes in soil types are often gradual and cannot be defined at particular depths. Ground surface elevations shown on these documents were estimated using a topographic survey of the site and should be considered approximate.
3. LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing was performed on representative split-spoon and bulk soil samples obtained from the borings. This testing consisted of natural moisture content, Atterberg limits, grain size analyses, Standard Proctor, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests. Laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with applicable ASTM procedures. A summary of laboratory test data and individual laboratory test data sheets are provided in Appendix C.
Based on the Atterberg limits testing and visual classifications, near-surface soils are generally of low to high plasticity. Based on comparison of natural moisture contents to the optimum moisture contents of the bulk samples, near-surface soils appear near to very wet of optimum compaction moisture. Moisture manipulation of some of the near-surface soils will likely be required prior to their re-use as fill. The time of year the grading occurs will likely have a significant impact on the moisture levels of near-surface soils.
It should be noted that relatively low CBR values were obtained during laboratory testing of two highly plastic soil samples.
4. SITE GEOLOGY
According to the 1993 Geologic Map of Virginia, the site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic
Province. Within the upland areas, soils within the Piedmont Province are the residual product of in-place chemical and physical weathering of parent rock materials and are termed �residual soils.� The typical residual soil profile consists of finer grain silts and clays near the ground surface which gradually transition to coarser and denser material with depth. In many locations, the transition zone between soil and rock is not well defined. Locally, the transition zone is termed weathered rock. For engineering purposes, weathered rock is defined as residual material in which
Standard Penetration Test N-values are 60 blows per foot or greater. Locally, the site appears to be underlain by the Garrisonville Mafic Complex, with primary rock types consisting of amphibolite and hornblendite.
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025
5. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The following is a summary of subsurface conditions encountered during the exploration.
5.1 Ground Surface Cover
The borings encountered approximately 7 to 9 inches of surficial topsoil material. Topsoil thicknesses are expected to vary across the site and may extend deeper in some areas.
5.2 Residual Soils
Beneath the existing topsoil, undisturbed residual soils were encountered in the borings to depths of about 10 to 20 feet below the ground surface. The residual soils consisted of medium stiff to very stiff lean and fat CLAY (CL, CH), medium stiff to very stiff SILT and Elastic SILT (ML, MH), and loose to very dense Silty and Clayey SAND (SM, SC). The encountered soils contained varying amounts Gravel. SPT N-values within the soil profile ranged from 3 to 43 blows per foot
(bpf).
5.3 Auger Refusal Materials
Materials refusing auger advancement were encountered in boring B-06 at a depth of approximately 13.5 feet below the ground surface. We expect that the auger refusal materials represent a boulder or mass rock.
5.4 Groundwater
At the time of exploration, water encountered in all the borings, with the exception of Boring B-
06. Groundwater depths encountered in the borings ranged from approximately 8 to 14 feet below the ground surface. It is important to realize that groundwater levels will fluctuate with changes in rainfall and evaporation rates. In addition, perched groundwater could be encountered within near-surface soils particularly after rainfall.
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025
6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following conclusions and recommendations are based upon our borings, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and past experience with similar projects and subsurface conditions.
6.1 Primary Geotechnical Concerns
The primary geotechnical concerns at this site consist of the following:
• Presence of soils with relatively low maximum dry density (i.e., �lightweight� soils) and their potential effect on stability of soil subgrades.
• Presence of highly plastic soils and their potential for shrink and swell behavior below the building�s slab-on-grade and foundations.
• Relatively weak support properties of on-site soils for support of pavements.
Recommendations for addresses these primary concerns are discussed in this report.
6.2 Site Preparation
6.2.1 General
Site grading will be difficult during periods of extended rainfall and low temperatures that generally occur during the late autumn to early spring months. Near-surface soils generally consist of fine-grained clays that are very moisture sensitive. If grading is conducted during a wet time period, soils will tend to rut and pump under rubber-tired traffic and provide poor subgrade support for pavements and the building slab-on-grade. Heavy rubber-tired construction equipment should not be allowed to operate on wet or unstable subgrades at this site due to the potential for rutting and other damage to the soils. To reduce potential earthwork problems, site preparation and grading should be scheduled during the typically warmer summer months, if possible. We recommend that exposed subgrades be sloped and sealed at the end of each day to promote runoff and reduce infiltration from rainfall.
Site preparation should begin with the stripping of topsoil and removal of any other unsuitable materials. Approximately 7 to 9 inches of surficial topsoil was encountered in the borings. These topsoil depths are expected to vary across the site and could extend deeper in some areas. Also, topsoil stripping activities often mix near-surface materials with underlying �clean� soils and cause stripping depths to be greater than actual ground surface cover depths, particularly during wet periods of the year. Topsoil and any other unsuitable materials should be stockpiled outside the proposed construction limits or wasted from the site.
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025
6.2.2 Subgrade Evaluation
After stripping, exposed soil subgrades in areas to receive fill and finished subgrades should be evaluated by the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative. To aid the engineer during this evaluation, exposed soil subgrades should be proofrolled with a loaded tandem axle dump truck or equivalent. Proofrolling will help to reveal the presence of unstable or otherwise unsuitable surface materials. The following methods are typically used to repair soil subgrades that are observed to rut, pump, or deflect excessively during proofrolling:
1) Undercut the unstable soils to firm soils and replace them with suitable, well compacted fill.
2) In-place repair of near-surface soils by scarifying, drying and re-compacting, when weather conditions are suitable. The addition of lime (quicklime or hydrated lime) can be used to aid in the drying process. If lime is used, it should meet the requirement of AASHTO
M216, and mixing should be conducted in accordance with the latest edition of the VDOT
Road and Bridge Specifications.
6.2.3 Potential Subgrade Repairs
The laboratory test data indicates soils of relatively low Standard Proctor maximum dry density
(ASTM D698). Soil with maximum dry densities of approximately 90 pcf or lower are generally considered to be relatively lightweight. Frequent challenges with these types of soils are that they can deteriorate very quickly under construction traffic and often exhibit relatively high moisture.
As such, frequent repairs to these soils can be needed, especially during poor prevailing weather conditions. Repairs can become extensive during poor weather. We recommend that appropriate project budget contingencies be appropriated for this potential risk.
6.2.4 Highly Plastic Soils
Highly plastic soils are anticipated to be present at finished soil subgrade across a significant portion of the site. The highly plastic soils were measured in our laboratory to have relatively high swell potential and low CBR values. There is risk in bearing the building foundations, the building slab-on-grade, and pavements on these soils. Shrink and swell behavior could cause structural damage to the building (foundation and slab heaving or slab cracking) and pavements (cracking and formation of depressions/potholes). It is debatable whether soil moisture conditions directly beneath the building or pavements would change considerably over time due to the �sealing� effect of the slab and pavements. However, our experience indicates unforeseen conditions can lead to lateral migration of water beneath slabs-on-grade, thus increasing soil moisture below the slab.
Asphalt pavements gradually experience normal age-related cracking, which allows runoff to infiltrate into the subgrade soils during rain events. The following sections provide our recommendations for these soils beneath the proposed building and pavement areas. Our recommendations for highly plastic soils are provided below.
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025
Highly Plastic Soils Beneath the Building - Highly plastic soils are susceptible to shrink and swell behavior. To reduce the potential for heaving of the building slab�s subgrade soils, we recommend one of the following measures for the building pad.
1) We recommend that the top 2 feet of highly plastic soils relative to finished soil subgrade beneath the building pad be undercut and replaced with suitable low plasticity on-site structural fill or imported structural fill material, as described in Structural Fill section of this report.
2) An alternative to undercutting would be to lime stabilize the upper 2 feet of highly plastic soils below the slab to reduce their expansion potential and allow them to remain in place.
This alternative would require additional laboratory testing of the on-site soils to determine the required percentage of lime required for stabilization. Lime stabilization should be conducted in general accordance with the most recent edition of the VDOT Road and
Bridge Specifications.
Highly Plastic Soils Beneath Pavements - It is our opinion that there is less overall risk in supporting pavements on the highly plastic soils. This is because heaving or shrinkage of the pavement structure is likely to be unnoticed compared to the potential effects that heaving could have on the building slab. However, the effect of heaving would likely be a gradual softening of the subgrade soils beneath the pavement. The effects of supporting pavements on highly plastic soils will likely be a reduced pavement life, due to the considerations discussed above. The life of the pavement can be extended with good maintenance practices, such as routine sealing of pavement cracks and repair of potholes. Possible methods to mitigate again a reduced pavement life to due highly plastic soils could include the following:
1) Lime stabilize the upper 12 inches of subgrade soils in pavement areas.
2) Undercut highly plastic soils that exist at the finished pavement subgrade to a depth of at least 12 inches and replace with low plasticity structural fill.
3) Install a subgrade stabilization geotextile, such as Mirafi HP270 or equivalent, between the pavement section and the underlying subgrade soils. The geotextile would offer additional subgrade support due to the potential gradual softening effects mentioned above.
For this project, we recommend Item 3 above beneath heavy-duty pavements.
6.3 Excavations
Excavations of up to 5 feet are anticipated across the site during mass grading. Utility excavations may extend deeper in some areas. Based on these anticipated excavation depths, excavations will
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025 extend through low to moderate consistency soils. Past experience indicates that moderate consistency soils can be excavated by routine earth moving equipment.
Soil types with respect to trench safety must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The Contractor should be responsible for all site safety, including the determination of appropriate trench safety measures according to OSHA guidelines.
Water was encountered at depths of 8 to 14 feet below the ground surface in most of the borings.
It is noted that these groundwater levels are expected to be below the required excavation depths.
However, it is important to realize that groundwater levels will fluctuate with changes in rainfall and evaporation rates. Perched groundwater could be encountered within near-surface soils, particularly after rainfall. The contractor should be prepared to control and remove groundwater seepage that occurs within excavations.
6.4 Re-use of On-site Soils as Structural Fill
Low plasticity soils encountered in the borings, excluding topsoil or debris-laden soils, may be re-used as structural fill, provided their moisture content can be properly controlled. Highly plastic soils may be re-used as structural fill, provided the compaction moisture can be properly controlled, but they should not be placed within 3 feet of finished soil subgrade in the building area. Re-use of highly plastic soils in pavement areas is subject to the risk previously described.
The soils encountered in the borings may require drying by way of disking/aerating or lime treatment if they prove to be wet of optimum moisture and therefore unable to achieve the appropriate degree of compaction at their current moisture levels. The lime percentage needed would be determined by the moisture level of soils at the time of fill placement. If lime is used to dry soils, the lime should meet the requirement of AASHTO M216 and lime mixing should be in accordance with the most recent edition of the VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications. Highly plastic soils can be very difficult to manipulate and dry when they are at moisture levels significantly above optimum moisture.
Prevailing weather conditions will have a significant impact on the amount of moisture manipulation (i.e., drying or wetting) required prior to fill placement. At the time of our exploration, near-surface soils appeared very wet of optimum compaction moisture.
6.5 Structural Fill
On-site soils used for structural fill should be free of debris, contain less than 5 percent organics, have a maximum particle size of 3 inches, have a maximum liquid limit (LL) of 50, and have a maximum plasticity index (PI) of 30. Imported materials used as structural fill should consist of
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025 sands (USCS types SC, SM, SP) or well-graded gravels (GM), have a maximum LL of 30, have a maximum PI of 15, and otherwise meet the requirements above. Highly plastic soils may be re-used as structural fill, provided the compaction moisture can be properly controlled, but they should not be placed within 3 feet of finished soil subgrade in the building area. Re-use of highly plastic soils in pavement areas is subject to the risk previously described.
Structural fill should be placed in maximum 8 to 10-inch loose lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). The final 12 inches of structural fill relative to finished subgrade should be compacted to at least 98 percent of the
Standard Proctor maximum dry density. Structural fill should be maintained within 3 percent of optimum moisture during placement and compaction.
Site preparation, including fill placement and compaction, should be observed by a qualified soils technician working under the direction of the Geotechnical Engineer. During fill placement, a sufficient amount of in-place density tests should be conducted to confirm that compaction and fill moisture is in accordance with our recommendations.
6.6 Foundations
Based upon information provided by the project team and our experience with similar projects, we have assumed that the maximum column and wall loads for the proposed structure will not exceed roughly 100 kips and 6 kips per linear foot, respectively. Based on the assumed loading, the borings, laboratory testing, and our engineering analysis, the proposed building may be supported on shallow foundations bearing in approved undisturbed soils or new structural fill overlying undisturbed materials. Shallow foundations may be designed using an allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. Foundations should bear at least 36 inches below finished exterior grade due to the presence of highly plastic soils, to provide frost protection, and to develop the required bearing capacity. Individual column and wall foundations should have minimum widths of 24 inches and
18 inches, respectively.
Foundation excavations should be evaluated by the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative prior to reinforcing steel and concrete placement. The evaluation should involve probing of foundation bearing surfaces, advancing shallow hand auger borings, and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) testing. If soft soils, or otherwise unsuitable soils are encountered at the design foundation bearing level, they should be overexcavated and replaced with VDOT No. 57 stone.
If groundwater or surface water runoff collects in any excavation, it should be removed promptly.
Care should be exercised during construction of foundations in order not to disturb bearing soils and reduce their bearing strength. Concrete for the footings should be placed as soon as practical
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025 following excavation. If concrete placement is delayed, placement of a concrete �mud mat� should be considered in order to protect exposed foundation bearing soils.
6.7 Foundation Settlement
Based on the assumed structural loads and our analysis, we expect that total foundation settlements for the proposed building additions will be one inch or less, provided that foundations are constructed in accordance with the recommendations presented in this report. Differential settlements should be less should be less than ½ inches for footings bearing on similar materials.
6.8 Slab-On-Grade
The building slab-on-grade can be adequately supported on suitable in-place, low plasticity soils or new low plasticity structural fill, provided the site preparation and fill placement procedures outlined in this report are implemented. It is our opinion that a modulus of subgrade reaction of
100 pci is applicable for slab-on-grade design. This modulus of subgrade reaction applies for concentrated slab point loads and distributed loads of 200 psf or less.
In addition, we recommend that a minimum of 6 inches of VDOT 21B stone be considered for placement beneath concrete slabs to provide greater uniformity in slab subgrade support. We recommend that the stone be compacted to at least 98 percent of its Standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). A vapor barrier should be installed beneath the slabs in accordance with ACI 302.1 (Guide to Concrete Floor and Slab Construction).
Exposure to the environment and construction activities will weaken the floor slab subgrade soils.
Therefore, we recommend that subgrade soils in slab areas be evaluated prior to aggregate base material placement. If deterioration of soils has occurred, undercutting may be necessary.
6.9 Seismic Site Classification
Based on the results of our borings and our past experience, it is our opinion the site should be considered Seismic Site Classification D in accordance with the most recent edition of the Virginia
Building Code.
6.10 Pavement Support
Based on our laboratory testing and past experience with soils similar to those encountered at this site, a design California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of 2 percent can be used for pavement design assuming the in-place subgrade soils are compacted to at least 98 percent of their Standard Proctor maximum dry density. In addition, due to the low design CBR value, it is our recommendation that the subgrade soils beneath heavy-duty pavements be lined with a woven geotextile fabric
(Mirafi HP270 or similar).
Stafford County Fire Station #8 � Stafford County, VA March 13, 2025
Based on our analysis and past experience, we recommend the light-duty and heavy-duty asphalt pavement sections and heavy-duty concrete pavement sections shown in the tables below. Light-duty pavements are those that generally experience a low to moderate frequency of car traffic, such as car parking spaces. Heavy-duty pavements are those that experience channelized car traffic and heavy vehicles, such as delivery trucks, dumpster vehicles, fire trucks, etc. Pavement life can be extended through good maintenance practices, such as routine sealing of pavement cracks and repair of potholes.

8 inches VDOT A3a Paving Concrete
(continuous two-way rebar reinforcement)
6 inches VDOT 21B*
*Underlain by a woven geotextile fabric (Mirafi HP270 or similar)
As shown in the concrete pavement table, we recommend the heavy-duty concrete pavement for fire truck drive aisles be continuously reinforced with rebar. Our experience is that No. 4 rebar, spaced at 12 inches on center, is typically used for concrete pavement of the recommended thickness above.
All materials and construction methods should conform to the latest edition of the VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications. To confirm that the base aggregate has been uniformly compacted and meets VDOT density requirements, in-place density tests should be performed by a qualified soils technician and the area should be thoroughly proofrolled under their observation.
Important factors regarding pavement performance are the condition of subgrade soils at time of construction and post construction drainage. We recommend that all pavement subgrade areas be evaluated prior to base course stone placement. Any areas which deflect or rut during proofrolling must be repaired prior to stone placement. Sufficient testing and observation should be performed
