About this file
This is a Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared by Vann Engineering, Inc. for the City of Kingman, Arizona, detailing subsurface conditions for approximately 2.2 miles of water transmission line Phase 2 extending from Morrow Avenue and Stockton Hill Road to the Main Tanks off Anson Smith Road. The investigation included twelve exploratory test borings conducted in April 2020 to depths ranging from 3.5 to 13.0 feet below existing grade, twenty-four seismic refraction survey lines, and laboratory testing of soil samples. The project assumes a minimum water line depth of approximately 4.0 feet below existing site grade. Key findings indicate subsurface materials consist of spread fill, native subgrade soils, and hard dig layers including basalt, rhyolite, caliche, and quaternary colluvium. Temporary excavation slopes are recommended based on soil and rock characteristics, with depths and rippability classifications provided for each boring location and seismic survey line. The report establishes a 2018 IBC Site Classification of B for earthquake design purposes and indicates no active faults underlie the project site.
The geotechnical recommendations address trench construction safety, bedding materials (Select Material Type B or Aggregate Base with maximum particle size of 1.5 inches), and final backfill compaction densities ranging from 85 to 100 percent depending on location and soil type. Haunching and initial backfill materials must consist of ABC material, with water settling prohibited in any trench section. Maximum allowable contact stress to maintain zero settlement ranges from 480 psf at 4.0 feet depth to 960 psf at 8.0 feet depth. Anticipated backfill settlement without structural loads varies from 0.3 inches with 95 percent compaction for 2.5 feet of backfill to 13.5 inches with 80 percent compaction for 15.0 feet of backfill. On-site soil shrinkage is estimated at 12 percent plus or minus 3 percent when reworked to 97 percent standard maximum density. No groundwater was encountered during the investigation. The report recommends that Vann Engineering, Inc. be retained for construction monitoring services and that any unusual materials or conditions encountered during construction trigger immediate notification for supplemental recommendations.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Proposed Development
Vann Engineering, Inc. understands that a new water line is proposed, requiring excavations into the subsurface soil and rock at the above-mentioned site. Refer to the above aerial photograph and the Site Plan in Section II for the proposed location of the water transmission line. It is assumed that the proposed minimum depth of the water line is approximately 4.0 feet below the existing site grade.
PHASE 2
EXTENDING FROM MORROW AVENUE AND STOCKTON HILL ROAD
2.2 Site Description
The site consists of terrain varying from mostly flat to highly undulating. Moderate vegetation was observed in landscaped areas and native areas along the roadway. Spread fill as well as loose surface soil were encountered at various areas of the site. At the location of Test Boring 1, 10.0 feet of spread fill was encountered. The water tanks at the west end of the transmission line are situated on a significant amount of fill. As the line moves east toward Seismic Line A-B and Test Boring 7, the thickness of fill is only about 6.0 inches.
3.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
3.1 Subsurface Investigation
The site's subsurface was explored through the utilization of twelve (12) exploratory test borings.
The locations of the test borings are shown on the Site Plan in Section II of this report and are presented as TB-1 through TB-12. These test borings allowed for examination of the subsurface profile to depths ranging from 3.5 to 13.0 feet below the existing site grade. Shallow auger refusal was encountered at 3.5 and 11.0 feet at the locations of TB-7 and TB-12, respectively.
The soils encountered were examined, visually classified and wherever applicable, sampled. A field log was prepared for each test boring. The field logs contain visual classifications of the materials encountered during drilling as well as interpolation of the subsurface conditions between samples. The final logs, included in Section II, represent our interpretation of the field logs and may include modifications based on laboratory observation and tests of the field samples. The final logs describe the materials encountered, their thicknesses, and the locations where samples were obtained. The sample locations are noted graphically on the boring logs included in Section II of this report. The Unified Soil Classification System was used to classify soils. Soil classification symbols, denoted on the boring logs, are briefly described in Section II.
In addition, the site’s subsurface was explored through the utilization of twenty-four (24) 24-channel refraction seismic survey lines, denoted on the Site Plan in Section II of this report. The seismic survey lines involved the retrieval of data in two separate directions (forward and reverse).
As such, forty-eight (48) refraction seismic surveys were conducted at the site. The length of the seismic surveys were 36.0 and 48.0 feet, thereby allowing an examination of the subsurface to depths of 12.0 and 16.0 feet below the existing site grade, respectively.
Information pertaining to the subsurface profile was obtained through analysis of seismic refraction data and geological observations of the site. Seismic wave velocities, representative of the various strata, are presented herein. Note: Changes in the calculated velocity indicate strata breaks or distinct changes within the same stratum. The important concept to remember with this method is that it is predominantly effective where velocities increase from layer to layer, moving downward from the surface. Analytical methods are used by this firm for determining the depth to the various layers, even in the most complex multi-layer situations. However, when a denser harder soil or rock layer overlies a weaker or less dense soil or rock layer, the weaker or less dense layer is masked and not detected by the seismograph. Thus, the Cross Sections presented herein may not reveal a possible weaker underlying layer within or below the depicted layers. If a weaker layer is encountered during the excavation efforts, this office should be contacted immediately for further recommendations.

TO THE MAIN TANKS OFF OF ANSON SMITH ROAD
KINGMAN, ARIZONA
Generally, the depth of a seismic survey investigation is approximately equal to one-third the length of the survey. For example, if it is desired to examine the substrata to a depth of 20.0 feet, the survey should extend a distance of 60.0 feet. However, seismic survey exploration depths, as mentioned above and depicted on the Cross Sections presented herein, are calculated by using a computer program (SeisImager 2D) that generates cross sections of the subsurface geology at each seismic survey location. Further, total exploration depths, as stated above, of the seismic survey study may vary from one survey line to the next. Furthermore, the calculated depths are dependent on the program’s ability to interpret the subsurface layering and are based primarily on the penetration and refraction of the seismic wave into and through the subsurface stratum. Thus, the actual seismic survey exploration depths were 12.0 and 16.0 feet below the existing grade, regardless of the length of the survey lines.
The materials encountered on the site are believed to be representative of the total area;
however, soil and rock materials do vary in character between points of investigation. The recommendations contained in this report assume that the soil and rock conditions do not deviate appreciably from those disclosed by the investigation. Should unusual material or conditions be encountered during construction, the soil engineer must be notified so that they may make any required supplemental recommendations.
3.2 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory analyses were performed on representative soil samples to aid in material classification and to estimate pertinent engineering properties of the site soils in preparation of this report. Testing was performed in general accordance with applicable test methods.
Representative samples obtained during the field investigation were subjected to the following laboratory analyses:
Table 1: Laboratory Testing Test Sample(s) Purpose
Sieve Analysis & Atterberg Limits Native subgrade soils (7) Soil classification and in-situ moisture content Moisture Content Native subgrade soils (7) In-situ conditions
Expansion Native subgrade soils (6) Potential for heave upon wetting
Refer to Section III of this report for the complete results of the laboratory testing. The samples will be stored for 30 days from the date of this report, and then disposed of unless otherwise instructed in writing by the client.
4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 Local Geology
The local geology indicates a thin layer of overburden soil overlying various subsurface layers of material, which includes a rock mass comprised of basalt and rhyolite (Tb), Quaternary hillslope talus and colluvium (Qtc) and alluvial fan and terrace deposits (Qi3 and Qy2). Refer to the following geologic map which depicts the proposed location of the water transmission line and geologic layers.

4.2 Site Stratigraphy
Refer to Table 2 below for a general summary of the site soil and rock characteristics based on information obtained during this firm’s subsurface investigation. The seismic refraction survey data obtained from the site was analyzed and subjected to computer aided analyses relative to engineering applications. The seismic refraction survey data indicates the following physical and mechanical properties of the subsurface soil and rock:
Refer to the cross sections in section II for the subsurface layering determined by analysis of the seismic refraction survey data. The locations of the seismic surveys are depicted on the Site Plan in Section II.
4.3 Groundwater
No groundwater was encountered during the course of this firm’s site investigation.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations contained herein are based upon the properties of the surface and subsurface soils and rocks as described by the field evaluation, the results of which are presented and discussed in this report. Alternate recommendations may be possible and will be considered upon request.
5.1 Excavating Conditions
Excavations greater than 4.0 feet should be sloped or braced as required to provide personnel safety and satisfy local safety code regulations. In most cases across the limits of the site there is a surface soil layer overlying a potentially hard dig layer (measured in degrees of rippability denoted as “rippable,“ “marginal,” and “non-rippable”). For the uppermost soil layer, overlying the hard dig layer, a 1:1 slope must not be exceeded.
PHASE 2
EXTENDING FROM MORROW AVENUE AND STOCKTON HILL ROAD
TO THE MAIN TANKS OFF OF ANSON SMITH ROAD
KINGMAN, ARIZONA
In all cases, the surface soil layer extending downward to the potentially hard dig layer (measured in degrees of rippability denoted as “rippable,“ “marginal,” and “non-rippable”) will be susceptible to sloughing. As such appropriate measures must be incorporated in the design and construction measures to avoid mishaps associated with caving.
The potentially hard dig layer (measured in degrees of rippability denoted as “rippable,“ “marginal,” and “non-rippable”) consists of soil and rock of varied constituencies, ranging from types of caliche, terrace gravels, basalt, and rhyolite. The temporary excavation slopes for the potentially hard dig layers are presented on the following table.
The following table summarizes the seismic wave velocity, temporary excavation slopes, and possible rippability conditions for the various layers. The rippability conditions are based on the seismic P-wave velocities and data utilized by Caterpillar Inc. and included in their "Handbook of Ripping." The rippability charts from the Caterpillar Performance Handbook and excavating conditions encountered at the site, are presented below.
The subsurface soils (defined herein as Layer 1) will be susceptible to sloughing if allowed to dry significantly or stand vertically. Precautions should be observed in the field to avoid problems associated with caving.
Temporary construction slopes should be designed and excavated in strict compliance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Register, Volume 54, No. 209 (October 1989), the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 29 CFR, Part 1926. This document was prepared to better ensure the safety of workers entering trenches or excavations and requires that all excavations conform to new OSHA guidelines. The contractor is solely responsible for protecting excavations by shoring, sloping, benching or other means as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom. Vann Engineering, Inc.
does not assume any responsibility for construction site safety or the activities of the contractor.
The above recommendations apply to a maximum cut slope / trench cut height of fifteen
(15) feet.
This firm should be notified during construction in order to verify field conditions and inspect all cut slopes for structural features (e.g. shear zones, foliation, fracture orientations, joint orientations and slabbing) contained within the rock mass that could lead to slope instability and eventual slope failure. If conditions relative to the integrity and stability of the rock mass are observed during the site excavation and are noted during a site inspection, this firm may alter the above-recommended cut slopes to adhere to a more stable condition. Therefore, it is critical that all cut slope excavations be inspected at a point when; if unstable conditions are identified, mitigation measures can be implemented before large scale cuts have been performed or slope failure occurs (i.e. timely inspecting and potentially modifying the cut slope recommendations, or possibly recommending the use of rock anchors, rock netting, or retaining walls for slope stability, while the cut is not yet greater than 10 feet in height).

Unforeseen conditions may develop during cutting operations. If conditions arise which were not addressed by this design, it is imperative that this firm be notified such that the situation can be addressed properly. In all construction activities related to site grading, the concept of toe removal should become well understood. All slopes, whether they are natural or fill, have a toe (the lowest portion of the slope). When the toe is removed, the slope may become unstable. For purposes of construction, the entire site should be considered to exist on a slope. Any cut into the natural slope will result in the removal of the toe for the up-slope portion, resulting in the potential movement of up-slope boulders riding on the surface.
Trenches extending below 5.0 feet below construction grade will require the contractor to develop a trench safety plan to protect personnel entering the trench or trench vicinity.
The preceding table presents this firm’s analysis of safe cut slopes for the anticipated subsurface conditions. However, it should be noted that the subsurface layers), once exposed, could reveal hidden characteristics that may indicate the potential for slope instability during and after cutting operations.
5.2 Site Classification
This project is not located over any known active faults or fault associated disturbed zones. A 2018 IBC Site Classification of B may be utilized in the earthquake design.
5.3 Maximum Contact Stresses to Maintain Zero Settlement
The anticipated trench has a minimum depth of 4.0 feet. With that, the maximum contact stress of the proposed system cannot exceed that which would cause any appreciable settlement. The following table is a guide to the maximum allowable contact stress (or allowable soil bearing capacity) to maintain a relatively zero settlement condition (essentially akin to the at-rest earth pressure plus 500 psf). The values are based on a soil unit weight of 120 pcf and the thickness of the soil layer to the point of contact of the pipe at the base of the trench excavation.

5.4 General Site Preparation
The following recommendations are presented as a guide in the compilation of construction specifications. The recommendations are not comprehensive contract documents and should not be utilized as such.
PHASE 2
EXTENDING FROM MORROW AVENUE AND STOCKTON HILL ROAD
TO THE MAIN TANKS OFF OF ANSON SMITH ROAD
KINGMAN, ARIZONA
Although underground facilities such as septic tanks, cesspools, basements, and dry wells were not encountered, such features might be encountered during construction. These features should be demolished or abandoned in accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical engineer. Such measures may include use of an approved CLSM.
The bottoms of the trench excavations should expose competent soils and should be relatively dry and free of loose, soft, or disturbed soils. If questionable soils are encountered at the base of the trench excavation, their competency should be verified through probing and density testing.
Following completion of trench excavation, a minimum of 8.0 inches of the cut native surface soils should be scarified, moisture processed and compacted as specified herein. The scarification and compaction requirement applys to cut situations as well as fill situations. Soft, wet, or weak soils and deleterious materials should be subexcavated and/or overexcavated to expose competent soils.
Any excavated material may be reused as backfill provided the maximum particle size is 3.0 inches, and a suitable percentage of fines will be generated to ensure a stable mixture. Complete removal and cleaning of any undesirable materials and proper backfilling of trenches will be necessary to ensure minimal settlement.
5.5 Trench Bedding, Haunching Material, and Initial Backfilling Material (Shading)
Bedding shall consist of Select Material Type B or Aggregate Base as per MAG Table 702 (presented below for reference), or Mohave county equivalent, or granular material (Section
601.4.8 in MAG – see below) containing no pieces larger than 1-½ inches and free of broken concrete, broken pavement, wood or other deleterious material. Open graded rock will not be used without written approval from this office. Recycled asphalt also cannot be utilized as bedding.
Granular soil is defined as material for which the sum of the plasticity index and the percent of the material passing a No. 200 sieve do not exceed 23. The plasticity index shall be tested in accordance with AASHTO T-146 Method A (Wet Preparation), T-89 and T90.
Haunching material is placed between the bedding and the springline. It should be comprised of ABC material according to the above table. Initial backfilling material (shading) must also be comprised of ABC. Shading extends from the springline upward to 1.0 feet above the top of the pipe.

Under any existing or proposed pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, or such construction included in the contract, or when any part of the trench excavation is within 2 feet of the above.
100% for granular 95% for non-granular
95% 95%
II
On any utility easement street, road, or alley right-of-way outside limits of backfill Type 1.
85% 85% 90%
III Around any structures or exposed utilities outside limits of backfill Type 1.
95% in all cases
All backfill should be placed in horizontal lifts with compacted thicknesses not to exceed one foot. The moisture content of all final backfill soil should be within the range of optimum -2 to optimum +2 percent. Water settling shall not be used to settle such materials in any part of the trench.

TO THE MAIN TANKS OFF OF ANSON SMITH ROAD
KINGMAN, ARIZONA
5.7 Shrinkage
For balancing grading plans, the estimated shrink of on-site soils has been provided below. The calculated shrink assumes oversized material will be processed and used on the project (i.e.
oversized material will be crushed and used in engineered fill). Assuming the average degree of compaction will approximate 97 percent of the standard maximum density, the approximate shrinkage of the reworked on-site soils are as follows:
Table 5: Shrinkage
Material Estimated Shrinkage (Based on ASTM D698A)
Native Undisturbed Soil 12% ± 3
The above value does not consider losses due to erosion, waste, variance of on-site soils, over-excavation, re-compaction of zones disturbed by demolition, previous site usage or the screening of oversized particles and/or debris. In other words, additional factors can and will create situations where seemingly balanced grading and drainage plans do not balance during construction.
5.8 Utility Trench Backfill Settlement
If backfills are not compacted as recommended, excessive settlement may result. Excessive settlement of loose trench backfill may cause damage to overlying and nearby pavements, slabs, pedestrian walkways, planters, and other structures.
Flooding has also been experienced in below grade areas due to breakage of utility lines embedded in loose retaining wall backfills, and from infiltration of surface water (irrigation and/or rainfall) through loose retaining wall backfills. Backfills may consist of compacted native soils.
Backfill compaction should be accomplished by mechanical methods. Water jetting or flooding of loose, dumped backfills to increase moisture contents should be prohibited.
Even with proper backfill compaction (well compacted – 95 percent minimum), the backfill will have the potential for about 1.2 inches of settlement (for 10.0 feet of total backfill) in the event of wetting by irrigation or broken conduits. With moderately compacted backfill (90 percent minimum), the magnitude of backfill settlement may approach 3.0 inches (for 10.0 feet of total backfill). Further, with poorly compacted backfill (85 percent minimum), the approximate magnitude of backfill settlement may reach as much as 6.0 inches (for 10.0 feet of total backfill).
The preceding estimates for backfill settlement are those which may occur through settlement of the backfill alone, without any surcharge or other structural loading condition. Refer to the following table which reflects the anticipated settlement without any structural loads.
