Section 2 – Geotechnical Assessment
Eight geological boreholes were drilled to replace the test pits. The work was performed between April 12 and April 13, 2021. The proposed subsurface exploration consisted of drilling eight geotechnical borings to a target depth of 15 feet below existing site grade along the proposed water main alignment. The borings were drilled to depths in the range of 7.5 to 14.5 feet below existing site grade, due to drill auger refusal within the gravel/cobble/boulder stratum. The summary of the groundwater table from the soil boring data is shown in Table 1.

Based on the subsurface exploration, native soils were encountered at the surface and extended to the bottom of the borehole depth. The native soils generally encountered are as follows:
• Medium stiff to very stiff clay with varying amounts of sand and gravel.
• Very stiff to hard silt with varying amounts of sand and gravel;
• Very loose to very dense sand with varying amounts of clay, silt, and gravel.
• Loose to very dense gravel, with varying amounts of clay, silt, and sand.
3 Bai Engineers | xbai@bai-eng.com
Bedrock was not encountered in any of the borings completed as part of this study.
During the subsurface exploration, groundwater was encountered at depths in the range of approximately 3 to 11 feet below existing site grade. Based on groundwater level observations made during the subsurface exploration, it is anticipated that groundwater will be encountered during installation of the water main.
Based on the Logs of Boring, conventional excavation equipment can be used to excavate native clay and sand soils along the alignment where subsurface investigations were performed. Dense to very dense gravel and cobbles/boulders will require heavy construction equipment to excavate these bedrock materials. We do not anticipate rock blasting would be required for the proposed trench excavation depths.
Sulfate and chloride content test results indicated the subsurface materials, exhibit a low corrosion potential to steel and concrete.
Minimum soil box resistivity testing results indicate the soils exhibit “Mildly Corrosive” characteristics based on FHWA-NHI-09-087.
The detailed geotechnical investigation report is provided in Appendix 1.
Section 3 – Utilities Research
There are two kinds of private and public utilities within the project limits. They are:
• Wet Utilities – the wet utilities include water, sewer collection, and stormwater facilities owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon (Warm Springs).
• Dry Utilities – the dry utilities specifically for this project include (1) CenturyLink phone services, and (2) Pacific Power and Light electrical services.
A total of 31 potential utility conflict locations were identified. The geographical locations of the 31 conflicts are shown in Figure 2.
Inquiries were made to the Pacific Power and Light locator regarding the utility depth in the project area. The average underground electrical line depth is 3 feet. However, it is recommended that potholed might be required. The inquiry and response record for Pacific Power and Light is provided in Appendix 9.

There is no as-built plan available from CenturyLink. Therefore, the depths of the existing phone lines are unknown.
Section 5 – Warm Springs Water Main Relocation Improvements
The operation staff at Warm Springs were contacted. The following water main relocations are required. Improvements will be made to the existing water mains at the Elma-Quinn Memorial Park (Park):
1. The existing 6” potable water main and the Elmer Quinn PRV at the Elmer- Quinn Memorial Park (Park): Currently, there are no active or future planned connections served by the Elmer Quinn PRV. The PRV will be abandoned and salvaged to the Warm Springs Utility Shop. The existing 6” potable water main will be capped at Station STA 27+00. The 6” potable water main west of the cap will be abandoned.
2. The existing 4” potable water main at the Park: The existing 4” line that comes from the North and serves the Park area was not actively in use. The line will be capped and abandoned in place within the Community Center parking lot. In addition, a new fire hydrant will be added on the 4” line at the Community Center to provide the fire flow capacity at the Community Center area.
3. The existing 3/4” service line from the 8” water main to the water hose at the Park: The existing 3/4” service line will cross the proposed 16” water main. This line will be abandoned. A new 3/4” service line will be constructed from the 6” water main and tie-in to the existing 3/4” service line at Station STA 24+20. The relocation of the service line will consolidate the service lines in the Park area for future water metering.
4. The section of 4” potable water main South of the Wolford Canyon Road:
The existing 4” water main across Shitike Creek was not actively in use. This line will be capped and abandoned in place.
The geographical locations of the Warm Springs water main relocation projects are shown in Figure 5 and Appendix 6.

Geotechnical Report
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Beyond Engineering and Testing, LLC (BEYOND) is pleased to present our subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering evaluation for the proposed construction of the Shitike Creek Bridge Crossing project. The approximate project location is shown on Figure 1, Project Site Location Map, within Appendix A.
The purpose of this geotechnical investigation and report is to:
Explore subsurface conditions;
Conduct field and laboratory testing to characterize the engineering properties of subsurface materials;
Provide geotechnical engineering parameters for the design and construction; and
Provide earthwork requirements.
The recommendations contained in this report are based upon field and laboratory test results, engineering analyses, experience with similar subsurface conditions, and our project understanding.
2.0 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
BEYOND understands the proposed project will consist of installing 3,200 lineal feet of buried 16-inch ductile iron or PVC water main and a bridge mounted crossing to remove the main from the Shitike Creek channel and floodplain. The proposed water main will be installed at an invert depth of approximately seven feet below existing site grade.
3.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
BEYOND prepared and executed a field exploration program for the proposed project on April 12 through April 14, 2021. The proposed subsurface exploration consisted of drilling eight geotechnical borings to a target depth of 15 feet below existing site grade along the proposed water main alignment. The borings were drilled to depths in the range of 7.5 to 14.5 feet below existing site grade, due to drill auger refusal within the gravel/cobble/boulder stratum. The approximate boring locations are shown on Figure 2, Borehole Locations Map, within Appendix A of this report. A summary of approximate geographic latitude and longitude coordinates and depth of each boring drilled as part of the subsurface exploration program is presented in Table 3.0.1.

Notes: Latitude and longitude coordinates provided in Table 3.0.1 were obtained from a hand-held GPS device with accuracy of approximate 15 to 20 feet.
We utilized hollow stem auger drilling methods to advance the boreholes to near the target depth of exploration of 15 feet, or to a depth of practical auger refusal. At most boring locations, auger refusal was encountered due to dense to very dense gravels or cobbles and/or boulders. We collected samples using Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) split spoon samplers. We collected all samples from the samplers in the field, performed visual soil classification, labeled the samples as to location and depth, and bagged soil samples to minimize moisture changes. We conducted the SPT tests in general accordance with ASTM D1586: Standard Test Method for Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils. SPT test results are shown on the attached Boring Logs under the “Field Data” column and are preceded by the letter “N”. SPT testing was performed using automatic hammer.
HQ3 coring techniques, with a 2 3/8-inch inside diameter HQ3 wire-line core barrels, were utilized to advance Boring No. B-5b to a depth of 5 feet below practical auger refusal to further explore the materials encountered. Based on the core samples obtained, the rock-like materials consisted of cobbles and boulders instead of continuous bedrock, with a core recovery ratio of 40%.
BEYOND prepared field logs for each boring drilled. The field logs contain visual classifications of the materials encountered during drilling as well as interpolation of the subsurface conditions between samples. We also observed for groundwater level in the borehole while advancing the boreholes. These observations are discussed in subsequent sections of this report.
The project engineer reviewed the field logs, samples, and laboratory data to make appropriate modifications to the field logs. BEYOND classified soils in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The soil classification symbols on the boring logs are described in the Boring Log Key included in Appendix A. The final logs of boring include modifications based on our laboratory test results and observations performed on the soil samples collected in the field.
The final logs of boring describe the materials encountered, strata thickness, the various depths at which the samples were obtained, as well as field test results.

4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 Regional Geology
Quaternary Period Units
Alluvial Deposits (Qal): Deposits of unconsolidated sediments, including undifferentiated deposits of alluvium, colluvium, terrace deposits, glacial, eolian, lacustrine, and glacial outburst floods. Material includes clay, silt, sand, and gravel, with cobble- and boulder-sized clasts.
Gravel Deposits (Qg): Predominantly well-sorted andesitic gravel reworked by streams emerging from the Cascade Mountains, and surrounding area, to the west. Deposits include clasts of cobble- and boulder-size, with minor clay, silt, and sand. Some gravel and clasts may be of local origin.
Tertiary Period Units
John Day Formation (Tjd): In the area of the Shitike Creek Bridge Waterline Crossing project site, the Formation consists of air-fall and water-laid tuffs and tuffaceous clays, with minor welded tuffs and argillized coarse pumice tuffs. The base of the formation is typically visible by a thick red saprolite developed on the underlying Clarno Formation.
The John Day Formation was not encountered in any of the boreholes drilled as a part of this letter report.
Site vicinity geologic map is shown on Figure 3 within Appendix A of this report.
4.2 Subsurface Stratigraphy
As indicated on our logs of borings drilled as part of this study, native soils were encountered at the surface and extended to the bottom of the borehole depth. The native soils generally encountered are as follows:
Medium stiff to very stiff clay with varying amounts of sand and gravel.
Very stiff to hard silt with varying amounts of sand and gravel;
Very loose to very dense sand with varying amounts of clay, silt, and gravel.
Loose to very dense gravel, with varying amounts of clay, silt, and sand.
Bedrock was not encountered in any of the borings completed as part of this study.
The above descriptions are general and depth ranges are approximate because boundaries between different strata are seldom clear and abrupt in the field. In addition, the lines separating major strata types on the logs of borings do not necessarily represent distinct lines of demarcation of the various strata. Detailed logs of borings for locations drilled as part of this study, which present the stratum descriptions, types of sampling used, laboratory test data, and additional field data, are presented in Appendix A. The Boring Log Key, defining the terms and descriptive symbols used on each log of boring, is also presented in Appendix A. Subsurface fence diagrams, which present the changes in lithology and groundwater conditions, along the water main alignment are presented in Appendix A.
5/14/2021 \ Page 4
4.3 Groundwater Conditions
We also observed for groundwater levels in the boreholes while advancing the boreholes.
Groundwater was encountered in multiple boreholes during drilling, measured immediately after drilling, and measured 24 hours after completion of drilling. Groundwater levels observed in boreholes are presented in Table 4.3.1.

B-07 Not Encountered Not measured; borehole caved-in at 3 feet.
B-08 9.42 9.33 Not measured; borehole caved-in at 5 feet.
It is imperative to note that the short-term groundwater level observations performed as part of this study are not an accurate evaluation of groundwater levels at the project site and should not be interpreted as a comprehensive groundwater study. The observations made during this investigation may also not represent conditions at the time of construction and it should be understood the presence of groundwater may have an effect on certain construction activities and long-term performance of foundations and pavements. Groundwater levels are highly dependent on climatic and hydrologic conditions before and after construction, and site development including irrigation demands, drainage and other factors. If a detailed groundwater study is desired, a groundwater hydrologist should be retained to perform these services.
5.0 LABORATORY TESTS
BEYOND performed various laboratory tests to determine the soil’s physical properties. These tests allow us to classify soils and to assess soil performance under the project design conditions.
Laboratory tests are presented in each respective Log of Boring and in the Summary of Laboratory Tests in Appendix A. The project geotechnical engineer assigned appropriate laboratory tests on selected soil samples. BEYOND performed the following laboratory methods for soil analyses:
Standard Practice for Classification of Soils for Engineering Purposes (Unified Soil Classification System): ASTM D2487;
Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil and Rock by Mass: ASTM D2216;
5/14/2021 \ Page 5
Standard Test Methods for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils: ASTM D4318;
Standard Test Methods for Amount of Material in Soils Finer than No. 200 (75-μm) Sieve:
ASTM D1140;
Standard Test Methods for Particle-Size Distribution (Gradation) of Soils Using Sieve Analysis: ASTM D6913;
Sulfate and Chlorides Content: EPA 300/300.1;
Standard Test Method for Measuring pH of Soil for Use in Corrosion Testing: ASTM G51;
and, Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Soil Resistivity Using the Two-Electrode Soil Box Method: ASTM G187.
5.1 Geotechnical Laboratory Test Results
Moisture content tests were performed, in accordance with ASTM D2216, on selected soil samples. The test results are provided on Logs of Boring in Appendix A of the report as well as on the Summary of Laboratory Results in Appendix A of this report.
Percent finer than No. 200 (75-μm) sieve tests were performed, in accordance with ASTM D1140, on selected soil samples. The test results are provided on Logs of Boring in Appendix A of the report as well as on the Summary of Laboratory Results in Appendix A of this report. Particle-size distribution (gradation) analyses were performed, in accordance with ASTM D6913, on selected soil samples. The test results are provided on in Appendix A of this report.
Laboratory test results indicate that the native soils have 3 to 34% passing No. 200 sieve, and the native soils have liquid limit (LL) values range from about non-plastic to 68% and plastic limit (PL) value ranging from non-plastic to 39%, with Plasticity Index (PI) values ranging from about non-plastic to 29%.
A summary of laboratory testing results is presented in Appendix A of this report.
5.2 Soil Corrosiveness
BEYOND obtained the services of Xenco Laboratories to perform analytical tests to determine the content of soluble sulfate and chloride in the soils at or near foundation bearing depths. The results of soluble sulfate and chloride content are summarized in Table 5.2.1.
Table 5.2.1 – Results of Soluble Sulfate and Chloride Content
Boring No.
Depth of Sample
(feet) Soluble Chlorides
(mg/kg) Soluble Sulfate
(mg/kg)
B-2 8.5 <5.03 7.55
B-8 6.0 <5.05 <5.05
5/14/2021 \ Page 6
These test results indicate non-corrosive chloride content and negligible sulfate content. Proper precautions should be taken to mitigate corrosive potential. The Xenco test results are included within Appendix A.
Results of Minimum Resistivity and pH testing performed in accordance with ASTM G187 and ASTM G51, respectively, on soil samples from selected borings are summarized in Table 5.2.2.
Minimum resistivity testing results indicate the soils exhibit “Mildly Corrosive” characteristics based on FHWA-NHI-09-087. Cathodic protection for buried metal pipe should be designed by a qualified corrosion engineer. The Minimum Resistivity and pH test results are included within Appendix A.

6.0 GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
BEYOND understands the proposed project will consist of installing 3,200 lineal feet of buried 16-inch ductile iron or PVC water main and a bridge mounted crossing. Based on the Logs of Boring completed as part of this study, it is anticipated that the clayey sand soils and poorly graded gravel soils will be encountered near the pipe invert depth of 7 feet below existing ground surface.
6.1 Installation by Open-Cut Method
The following subsurface conditions should be considered by the pipeline designer and contractor, based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the borings and geologic map:
Shallow groundwater may be encountered at some sites along the water main alignment;
and
The presence of cobbles and boulders should be considered for excavation planning.
The Contractor is solely responsible for designing, constructing and maintaining safe excavations.
The excavations should not cause any distress to any nearby structures that may exist during construction. For excavations in layered soils, when an OSHA soil type overlies a lower, less competent soil type (such as type A/B above type C, or type A above type B), the entire excavation should be based on the lower, less competent OSHA soil type. Refer to Section 7.4 of this report for the open excavation construction recommendations.
6.2 Pipe Systems Thrust Restraint
Thrust forces are generated in pressure pipes as a result of changes in pipe diameter, pipe direction or at the termination point of the pipes. Unbalanced forces within the pipes and unrestrained bends along the pipe could lead to separation of the pipe joints. For buried pipes, 5/14/2021 \ Page 7 thrust restraint is achieved by transferring the thrust force to the soil structure outside the pipe.
Various methods of thrust restraint are used including thrust blocks, restrained joints and encasement and tie-rods.
When thrust blocks mobilizing lateral earth pressure are used to provide thrust restraint, the passive earth pressure can be calculated utilizing the equation below. We recommend a factor of safety of 2.0 be applied to the passive earth pressure.
pp at depth of z, = ( h1 + ' h2) Kp + w h2 + 2cKp ½ where, pp = passive earth pressure, psf.
= Total unit weight of soil, pcf.
' = Buoyant unit weight of soil, pcf.
w = Unit weight of water, 62.4 pcf.
z = depth below ground surface for the point under consideration, feet.
h1 = depth from ground surface to ground water table, feet.
h2 = z - h1, depth from ground water table to point under consideration, feet.
Kp = coefficient of passive earth pressure.
c = cohesion of clayey soils.
The coefficient of passive earth pressure can be calculated utilizing the following equation.
Kp = tan2 (45° + /2) where, = angle of internal friction (degree)
Based on our boring logs, we recommend the following soil parameters provided in Table 6.1.1 to calculate the lateral earth pressure.

Thrust blocks should be placed against undisturbed soil. Where not possible, fill materials placed between the bearing surface and undisturbed soil should be compacted to a minimum of 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698. Due to variation of subsurface conditions, soils with different strengths and characteristic will likely be encountered at a given location. The soil resulting in the lowest passive earth pressure should be used for the design of the thrust blocks.

6.3 Bottom Stability
During the subsurface exploration, groundwater was encountered at depths in the range of approximately 3 to 11 feet below existing site grade. Based on groundwater level observations made during the subsurface exploration, it is anticipated that groundwater will be encountered during installation of the water main.
If excavations extend below the ground water level and the soils at or near the bottom of the excavation are mainly sands, silts or low plasticity clays, the bottom can fail by blow-out (boiling) at the bottom when a sufficient hydraulic head exists. The potential for boiling or in-flow of granular soils increases where the ground water is pressurized. If the braced excavation terminates in granular soils below ground water, we recommend the ground water table be lowered to at least 2 feet below the excavation to reduce the potential of bottom boiling.
7.0 CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA
In this section, we provide construction recommendations to allow earthwork to meet the intent of the geotechnical parameters provided in Section 6. We recommend that BEYOND be retained to provide verification testing services during construction. This allows us to verify that construction of foundation items is in compliance with our recommendations.
7.1 Site Preparation
Prior to construction, the contractor should establish proper and positive drainage to maintain a relatively dry condition at the proposed construction site. This will be important if any work is attempted during prolonged rainfall periods. Water ponding in construction areas should be avoided.
Winter weather conditions can also impact the construction process. Newly placed fill should not be placed on frozen subgrade and frozen material should not be used for fill.
7.2 Trench Excavation
Based on the Logs of Boring, conventional excavation equipment can be used to excavate native clay and sand soils along the alignment where subsurface investigations were performed. Dense to very dense gravel and cobbles/boulders will require heavy construction equipment to excavate these bedrock materials. We do not anticipate rock blasting would be required for the proposed trench excavation depths.
Proper equipment selection and techniques are critical for effective and economic trenching. The excavation contractor/operator familiar with local geology shall be consulted for further evaluation.
Although Beyond did not encounter continuous bedrock in our borings, the use of hydraulic rock hammer may be required at some locations to facilitate efficient excavations of large boulders.
Means and methods for foundation excavation should be determined by construction contractor.
5/14/2021 \ Page 9
7.3 Construction Dewatering
Based on the Logs of Boring, shallow groundwater should be expected along the water main alignment. If shallow groundwater is present at sites where clay soils are exposed within the excavation depths, we anticipate the groundwater re-charge rate may be slow enough to conduct excavation dewatering with conventional sumps and “trash” pumps.
However, at sites where foundation excavation bottom extends into water-bearing sand soils or gravel, the groundwater re-charge rate may be too high to manage with conventional sumps and pumps. For those sites, a dewatering system with well points or eductors may be needed to draw down the groundwater table. Without effective dewatering, the subsurface materials at excavation bottom may become unstable.
Dewatering means and methods are the responsibility of the contractor. A dewatering contractor should be consulted to evaluate the need for dewatering with well points, and to determine the layout and depth of the dewatering well points or eductors, based on the available geotechnical information. In general, we recommend the groundwater table be lowered to a minimum of 2 feet below the bottom of the excavation. Extended and/or extensive dewatering can result in settlement of existing structures in the vicinity; the contractor shall take necessary precautions to minimize the effects to those structures.
7.4 Open Excavations
Temporary construction slopes and/or permanent embankment slopes should be protected from surface runoff water. Site grading should be designed to allow drainage at planned areas where erosion protection is provided, instead of allowing surface water to flow down unprotected slopes.
Surcharge loads, either static or dynamic, should not be applied to an excavation slope.
Construction equipment should be prevented from traveling along or near the top of the excavation slope. Monitoring of temporary slopes, trenches, and dewatering during construction should be undertaken by the contractor to detect early warnings of movement within slopes, structures, pavements, etc.
For general planning purposes, BEYOND offers the following guidance:
The surficial cohesive clay soils across this site are generally medium stiff to very stiff.
Medium stiff to stiff clay soils can be classified as an OSHA Type B material that requires the excavation’s sidewall be sloped at 1H:1V (or flatter).
The native sands and gravels below the surficial clay possess low to zero cohesion, and are often water-bearing. They shall be classified as OSHA Type C material. All Type C class excavations require a 1.5H:1V (or flatter) or require use of benches.
Due to the granular nature of the subsurface soils, raveling of temporary cut slopes should be anticipated. The Contractor should assess the actual site conditions at the time of construction and make its own interpretation of the OSHA soil type for design of the excavation and trench slopes or the need for excavation shoring. Monitoring of temporary slopes, trenches, and
5/14/2021 \ Page 10 dewatering during construction should be undertaken by the contractor to detect early warnings of movement within slopes, structures, pavements, etc. The temporary excavated slopes may require modification after construction based on field conditions.
In all cases of excavations in soils, sloped excavations and trench protections are required for excavations greater than four feet in depth. The contractor’s “Competent Person” (as defined by OSHA) must inspect each trench to determine the type of bench or slope that is actually required.
With all excavations, only a “competent person” shall determine whether sloped, benched, or trench shields can be used. OSHA and applicable state and local standards should be observed and followed. Site safety is the responsibility of the contractor.
7.5 Bedding, Fill and Backfill Materials for Pipeline
The native, medium dense to very dense clayey sand and gravel/cobble as well as native, stiff lean clays, if not disturbed during trench excavation and dewatering, are suitable to provide foundation support for the proposed water main pipe. We recommend the bottom of the trench excavation be inspected by the geotechnical engineer or a qualified representative prior to placement of the pipe bedding material.
Pipe bedding material should be in accordance with 2021 Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction Standard Specification by ODOT, Part 00405.12, with ¾ inch - 0 aggregate bedding due to the anticipated groundwater condition. Fill materials (if any) below the pipelines should be granular materials per ODOT 2021 Standard Specifications Part 00330.14, placed in loose lifts not exceeding 10-inches, and compacted to a minimum of 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698.
All pipe trenches should be backfilled with compacted fill/backfill materials in accordance with ODOT 2021 Standard Specifications Part 00405.14. Backfill materials above the pipelines can be on-site materials free of debris, organic and oversized material greater than 6 inches or imported materials. Backfill materials above the pipelines should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 12-inches and should be compacted to a minimum compaction of 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698. The minimum compaction requirement on trench backfill may be reduced to 90%, if the pipe backfill material is not below or within 5 feet horizontal distance of any proposed roadways/shoulders/structures.
Special care should be taken during backfill of soils located above any existing utility lines that run underneath the site. The capacity of existing lines should be evaluated to ensure that additional stresses due to construction activities do not affect the integrity of the existing lines.
7.6 Drainage
Proper drainage should be provided away from the excavations during all phases of construction and post-construction grading. Proper drainage is essential to the long-term stability of the structure. Ponding of water near the foundation elements from improper drainage should not be permitted.
