Summary
This is a Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared by Hirata & Associates, Inc. for the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, documenting subsurface conditions at two proposed stream crossing sites—Kawaikoi Stream and Waiakoalii Stream—within the Na Pali Kona Forest Reserve in Kokee, Kauai. The investigation, conducted between November 5 and 10, 2025, included eight exploratory borings drilled to depths ranging from 8 to 20.5 feet, supplemented by laboratory testing of soil samples and rock cores. At the Waiakoalii Stream crossing, the subsurface consists of brown weathered gravel with silt, sand, and cobbles in a medium dense condition extending 1 to 9 feet deep, underlain by basalt varying from medium dense to hard and slightly to completely weathered, with groundwater encountered at depths of 1.9 to 3.3 feet. At the Kawaikoi Stream crossing, surface soils comprise weathered gravel with silt, sand, and cobbles plus cobbles and boulders in a dense to very dense matrix, with basalt underlying at depths of 1.5 to 5 feet and groundwater at depths of 1.8 to 5.3 feet.
The report recommends 7.0 inches of Portland Cement Concrete, 8.0 inches of aggregate base course with minimum CBR of 85, Mirafi FW700 geotextile filter fabric, and cutoff walls for total crossing thickness of 15.0 inches, assuming primarily passenger vehicles and light trucks with only occasional heavy truck traffic. Additional recommendations address site grading, structural excavation, slope stability, fill placement methodology, dewatering requirements using portable cofferdams or sandbags rather than sheet pile, and specifications for onsite and imported fill materials. Laboratory testing results indicate direct shear strength parameters ranging from 39.0 degrees to 51.8 degrees friction angle with cohesion values from 473.0 PSF to 1482.0 PSF, and CBR values of 11.9 percent and 28.0 percent for near-surface soils. The report recommends geotechnical review of final design plans and retention of the consultant during construction for subgrade observation, import material testing, compaction verification, and ongoing consultation to address any subsurface variations encountered.

Dear Mr. Matsuoka:
Our report, "Geotechnical Investigation, Department of Land and Natural Resources, Stream Crossings at Na Pali Kona Forest Reserve, Kokee, Kauai, Hawaii, TMK: (4) 1-4-01: 013," dated January 5, 2026, our Work Order 25-7132 is enclosed. This investigation was conducted in general conformance with the scope of services presented in our revised proposal dated July 22, 2025.
The predominant surface soil encountered in the borings drilled at the Waiakoalii Stream crossing consisted of brown weathered gravel with silt, sand, and cobbles. The gravel was in a medium dense condition and extended to depths ranging from about 1 to 9 feet. Underlying the gravel was basalt, extending down to the maximum depths drilled. The basalt varied from medium dense to hard and slightly to completely weathered. Water was encountered in the borings at depths ranging from about
1.9 to 3.3 feet. The depths to groundwater can be expected to fluctuate with the water level in the adjacent stream, as well as with heavy rainfall.
The predominant surface soil encountered in the borings drilled at the Kawaikoi Stream crossing consisted of weathered gravel with silt, sand, and cobbles, as well as cobbles and boulders in a matrix of silt, sand, and weathered gravel. The gravel layer was generally in a loose to medium dense condition while the cobbles and boulders layer was in a dense to very dense condition. Underlying the surface soils at depths ranging from about 1.5 to 5 feet was basalt, extending down to the maximum depths drilled. The basalt varied from medium dense to hard and slightly to completely weathered.
Water was encountered in the borings at depths ranging from about 1.8 to 5.3 feet. The depths to groundwater can be expected to fluctuate with the water level in the adjacent stream, as well as with heavy rainfall.
Recommendations for the design of concrete slab fords are presented in the report. We appreciate this opportunity to be of service. Should you have any questions concerning this report, please feel free to call on us.

PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Information regarding the proposed project was provided by your office, and KAI
Hawaii, project Structural Engineer.
The project will consist of stream crossings along an existing dirt road at Kawaikoi
Stream, located approximately 3.5 miles from Kokee Road, and at Waiakoalii
Stream, located about 4 miles from Kokee Road. We understand that concrete slab fords will be used for the proposed stream crossings.
SITE CONDITIONS
The project sites are located along Mohihi-Camp 10 Road within the Na Pali Kona
Forest Reserve, in the Kokee area of Kauai. Mohihi–Camp 10 Road is an unpaved road which extends to the east from its junction with State Highway 550 (Kokee
Road), approximately 100 yards northeast of Kokee State Park headquarters along the highway. Kawaikoi Stream crosses Mohihi–Camp 10 Road approximately 3.5 miles east of the junction while Waiakoalii Stream crosses the road at approximately 4.4 miles from the junction.
Outcrops of spheroidal weathered basalt and boulders were observed at the ground surface and on the slopes adjacent the dirt road in the vicinity of the stream crossings. Slope gradients in these areas are relatively steep, ranging from approximately 1V:1H to near vertical.
At the time of our fieldwork, water was observed flowing at the Kawaikoi Stream crossing. However, water appeared stagnant at the Waiakoalii Stream crossing.
Based on visual observation, the streambeds generally consisted of exposed sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders. Remnants of concrete slabs were also observed within the stream crossing areas.

SOIL CONDITIONS
Waiakoalii Stream Crossing
The predominant surface soil encountered in the borings consisted of brown weathered gravel with silt, sand, and cobbles. The gravel was in a medium dense condition and extended to depths ranging from about 1 to 9 feet. Underlying the gravel was basalt, extending down to the maximum depths drilled. The basalt varied from medium dense to hard and slightly to completely weathered.
Water was encountered in the borings at depths ranging from about 1.9 to 3.3 feet.
The depths to groundwater can be expected to fluctuate with the water level in the adjacent stream, as well as with heavy rainfall.
Kawaikoi Stream Crossing

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Concrete Slab Ford Crossings
Recommendations for the concrete slab fords assume that vehicular traffic will consist primarily of passenger vehicles, light pickup trucks, and only occasional heavy trucks. Based on our test borings and laboratory test results, the following is recommended.
7.0" Portland Cement Concrete 8.0" Aggregate Base Course (CBR = 85 minimum) Mirafi FW700 geotextile filter fabric (or approved equivalent) 15.0" Total Thickness
The installation of the geotextile filter fabric should follow the manufacturer's guidelines. The aggregate base course should be compacted to a minimum 95 percent compaction as determined by ASTM D 1557. The subgrade, where practical, should be compacted to a minimum 95 percent compaction prior to placement of the geotextile filter fabric.
Cutoff walls at the upstream and downstream edges of the concrete slab should be provided to protect against undercutting by scour.
Dewatering and temporary diversion of the stream flow using methods such as a cofferdam will be required for construction of concrete fords in a dry environment.
It is our opinion that a sheet pile cofferdam is not feasible due to the presence of the cobbles and boulders. Alternatives such as portable cofferdam or sandbags should be considered. The contractor should be responsible for the design, implementation, monitoring, and removal of the construction dewatering.
Site Grading
Site Preparation - The project site should be cleared of all vegetation, concrete slabs, boulders, and other deleterious material. In areas requiring fill placement, the existing ground should first be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches and
Hirata & Associates, Inc. Page 5 compacted to a minimum 90 percent compaction as determined by ASTM D 1557.
Soft or loose soils indicated by pumping conditions should be removed and replaced with either approved onsite material or imported granular structural fill.
The use of woven geotextile filter fabrics and/or geogrids may be needed to help stabilize the subgrade.
Structural Excavations - Based on our exploratory borings, we believe that excavations into the gravel, cobbles, and highly to completely weathered basalt can generally be accomplished using conventional excavating equipment. Difficulty can be expected if boulders are encountered. Hydraulic hoe-ramming type equipment may be required for excavation into hard basalt or to break up large boulders. Considerable sloughing may occur due to the presence of cobbles and boulders in the steam beds. Temporary cuts into the surface soils should be stable at slope gradients of 1.5H:1V or flatter. However, the contractor should be responsible for conforming to OSHA safety standards for all excavations.
Slope Gradients – All fill slopes should be stable at slope gradients of 2H:1V or flatter. If possible, new cut slopes should be constructed at slope gradients of
2H:1V or flatter to reduce the potential for excessive sloughing and erosion.
However, due to the relatively steep gradients of existing slopes, new cut with
2H:1V slope gradient may not be feasible. As a result, new cut slopes may be cut to a steeper slope gradient of 1H:1V or match the existing slopes. The steeper cut slope gradients may increase the potential for sloughing and localized shallow slope failures that will require more frequent maintenance.
Fill slopes should be constructed from the bottom up. Filling the slope with sliver fills should be avoided. The fill should be continually benched into existing slopes as the fill is brought up in lifts. The benches should extend into competent material and be wide enough for compaction equipment to work effectively. Fill slopes
Hirata & Associates, Inc. Page 6 should be constructed by overfilling and cutting back to the design slope gradient to obtain a well-compacted slope face.
Where applicable, all slopes should be planted as soon as practical upon completion of grading to reduce the effects of erosion and weathering.
Onsite Fill Material - The onsite clayey silt, weathered gravel, and highly to completely weathered basalt (weathered gravel with silt and sand) may be reused in compacted fills and backfills provided all rock fragments larger than 6 inches in maximum dimension are removed prior to reuse.
Imported Fill Material - Imported structural fill should be well-graded, non-expansive granular material. Specifications for imported granular structural fill should indicate a maximum particle size of 3 inches, and state that between 8 and
20 percent of soil by weight shall pass the #200 sieve. In addition, the plasticity index (P.I.) of that portion of the soil passing the #40 sieve shall not be greater than
10. Imported structural fill should have a CBR expansion value no greater than 1.0 percent and a minimum CBR value of 15 percent, when tested in accordance with
ASTM D 1883.
Compaction - In general, fill and backfill consisting of cohesive soils, such as the onsite clayey silt should be placed in horizontal lifts restricted to 8 inches in loose thickness, and compacted to a minimum 90 percent compaction as determined by
ASTM D 1557. Granular fill, such as the weathered gravel and imported granular structural fill, should also be placed in 8-inch loose lifts, but compacted to at least
95 percent compaction as determined by ASTM D 1557.
Fill placed in areas which slope steeper than 5H:1V should be continually benched as the fill is brought up in lifts.
Hirata & Associates, Inc. Page 7
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
We recommend that we perform a general review of the final design plans and specifications. This will allow us to verify that the foundation design and earthwork recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented in the design plans and construction specifications.
For continuity, we recommend that we be retained during construction to (1) observe subgrade conditions prior to fill placement, (2) review and/or perform laboratory testing on import borrow to determine its acceptability for use in compacted fills, (3) observe fill placement and perform compaction testing, and (4) provide geotechnical consultation as required.
Our services during construction will allow us to verify that our recommendations are properly interpreted and included in construction, and if necessary, to make modifications to those recommendations, thereby reducing construction delays in the event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated.
LIMITATIONS
The boring logs indicate the approximate subsurface soil conditions encountered only at those times and locations where our borings were made, and may not represent conditions at other times and locations.
This report was prepared specifically for SSFM International and their subconsultants for design of the proposed stream crossings at Na Pali Kona Forest
Reserve in Kokee, Kauai, Hawaii. The boring logs, laboratory test results, and recommendations presented in this report are for design purposes only, and are not intended for use in developing cost estimates by the contractor.
During construction, should subsurface conditions differ from those encountered in our borings, we should be advised immediately in order to re-evaluate our
Hirata & Associates, Inc. Page 8 recommendations, and to revise or verify them in writing before proceeding with construction.
Our recommendations and conclusions are based upon the site materials observed, the preliminary design information made available, the data obtained from our site exploration, our engineering analyses, and our experience and engineering judgment. The conclusions and recommendations in this report are professional opinions which we have strived to develop in a manner consistent with that level of care, skill, and competence ordinarily exercised by members of the profession in good standing, currently practicing under similar conditions in the same locality.
We will be responsible for those recommendations and conclusions, but will not be responsible for the interpretation by others of the information developed. No warranty is made regarding the services performed, either expressed or implied.

FIELD INVESTIGATION
Hirata & Associates, Inc. Plate A1.1
DESCRIPTION OF FIELD INVESTIGATION
GENERAL
The site was explored between November 5 and 10, 2025, by performing a visual reconnaissance of the site and drilling 8 test borings to depths ranging from about
8 to 20.5 feet with an Acker track-mounted drill rig.
During drilling operations, the soils were continuously logged by our field engineer and classified by visual examination in accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System. The boring logs indicate the depths at which the soils or their characteristics change, although the change could actually be gradual. If the change occurred between sample locations, the depth was interpreted based on field observations. Classifications and sampling intervals are shown on the boring logs.
A Boring Log Legend is presented on Plate A3.1. The Unified Soil Classification and Rock Weathering Classification Systems are shown on Plates A3.2 and A3.3, respectively. The soils encountered are logged on Plates A4.1 through A4.8.
Borings were located in the field by measuring/taping offsets from existing site features shown on the plans. Surface elevations at boring locations were estimated based on a preliminary topographic survey map prepared by ControlPoint
Surveying, Inc., dated October 28, 2025. The accuracy of the boring locations shown on Plates A2.2 and A2.3, and the boring elevations shown on Plates A4.1 through A4.8 are therefore approximate, in accordance with the field methods used.
SOIL SAMPLING
Representative and disturbed samples, as well as a bulk soil sample, were recovered from the borings for selected laboratory testing and analyses. Representative samples were recovered by driving a 3-inch O.D. split tube sampler a total of 18 inches with a 140-pound hammer dropped from a height of 30 inches. Disturbed samples were obtained by driving a 2-inch O.D. standard split spoon sampler a total of either 18 or 24 inches with a 140-pound hammer dropped from a height of 30
Hirata & Associates, Inc. Plate A1.2 inches. The number of blows required to drive the samplers the final 12 inches are recorded at the appropriate depths on the boring logs, unless noted otherwise.
ROCK SAMPLING
Core samples of rock were obtained by drilling with a HQ core barrel having an inside diameter of 2.5 inches. Recovery percentages for each core run are shown on the enclosed Boring Logs.
The rock quality designation (RQD) for the core runs are also shown on the Boring
Logs. This is a modified core recovery percentage which takes into account the number of fractures observed in the core samples. Only pieces of core 4 inches in length or longer, as measured along the centerline, were included in the determination of this modified core recovery percentage. Fractures caused by drilling or handling were ignored.
The following is a general correlation between RQD percentages and rock quality.
RQD (%) Description of Rock Quality 0 - 25 Very Poor 25 - 50 Poor 50 - 75 Fair 75 - 90 Good 90 - 100 Excellent

Description
No visible signs of decomposition or discoloration.
Rings under hammer impact.
Slight discoloration inwards from open fractures, otherwise similar to F.
Discoloration throughout. Weaker minerals such as feldspar decomposed. Strength somewhat less than fresh rock but cores cannot be broken by hand or scraped by knife. Texture preserved.
Most minerals somewhat decomposed. Specimens can be broken by hand with effort or shaved with knife. Core stones present in rock mass. Texture becoming indistinct but fabric preserved.
Minerals decomposed to soil but fabric and structure preserved (Saprolite). Specimens easily crumbled or penetrated.
Advance state of decomposition resulting in plastic soils. Rock fabric and structure completely destroyed.

LABORATORY TESTING
Hirata & Associates, Inc. Plate B1.1
DESCRIPTION OF LABORATORY TESTING
CLASSIFICATION
Field classification was verified in the laboratory in accordance with the Unified
Soil Classification System. Laboratory classification was determined by visual examination. The final classifications are shown at the appropriate locations on the
Boring Logs, Plates A4.1 through A4.8.
MOISTURE-DENSITY
Representative samples were tested for field moisture content and dry unit weight.
Disturbed samples were tested for field moisture content. The dry unit weight was determined in pounds per cubic foot while the moisture content was determined as a percentage of dry weight. Representative samples were obtained using a 3-inch
O.D. split tube sampler. Disturbed samples were obtained using a 2-inch O.D.
standard split spoon sampler. Test results are shown at the appropriate depths on the Boring Logs, Plates A4.1 through A4.8.
SHEAR TESTS
Shear tests were performed in the Direct Shear Machine which is of the strain control type. Each sample was sheared under varying confining loads in order to determine the Coulomb shear strength parameters, cohesion and angle of internal friction. Test results are presented on Plates B2.1 through B2.3.
CALIFORNIA BEARING RATIO TESTS
CBR tests were performed in general accordance with ASTM D 1883 on bulk samples of near surface soil. Results are shown on Plates B3.1 and B3.2.
