Summary
This is a Geotechnical Report prepared by Ardaman & Associates, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in geotechnical, environmental, and materials testing, for Atkins regarding the Max Brewer Causeway Beach Profile Project in Titusville, Florida (Brevard County). The report documents laboratory testing of three soil samples collected from the project site and delivered to Ardaman's Cocoa office on September 27, 2022. Each sample was tested for percent fines using ASTM D1140 standards and sieve analysis using ASTM D422 standards, with geotechnical engineer observations recorded using the Munsell Color Chart designation. The three samples—SS-1 from the West Back location, SS-2 from the Middle Front location, and SS-3 from the East Middle location—yielded varying results, with percent fines ranging from 1% to 7% and color designations ranging from 10YR 5/2 to 10YR 7/3. The report was completed on November 3, 2022, under Ardaman project file No. 22-23-5204 and Atkins project No. 100077962.
The report includes detailed grain size distribution curves for all three samples presented as attachments, charting the percent passing across various sieve sizes from 3 inches down to No. 270. All samples displayed non-plastic characteristics (NP designation for liquid limit and plasticity index), indicating minimal clay content. The testing results support the geotechnical characterization necessary for the shoreline restoration project design and engineering specifications.

Subject: Laboratory Testing of Soil Samples Max Brewer Causeway Beach Profile Project Site
Titusville, Florida Atkins Project No. 100077962
Dear Ms. Yarbrough:
As requested, we have completed laboratory testing of soil samples delivered to the Ardaman & Associates, Inc. Cocoa office by the client. This report presents the results of the testing.
Three soil samples collected from the project site by the client were delivered to our Cocoa office on September 27, 2022. Each sample was tested in our laboratory for percent fines (ASTM D1140) and sieve analysis (ASTM D422). Each sample was also observed by a geotechnical engineer to determine the Munsell Color Chart designation.
The results of the percent fines testing and Munsell Color Chart designation for each sample are presented in the following table.
Sample ID Location Munsell Color Designation
Percent Fines (%)
SS-1 West Back 10YR 5/2 5
SS-2 Middle Front 10YR 7/2 7
SS-3 East Middle 10YR 7/3 1
Grain size distribution curves generated during the sieve analysis testing are included as Attachment 1.
