GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION
We have developed a general characterization of the subsurface conditions based upon our review of the subsurface exploration, laboratory data, geologic setting and our understanding of the project. This characterization, termed GeoModel, forms the basis of our geotechnical calculations and evaluation of site preparation and foundation options. The individual log can be found in the Exploration Results section and the GeoModel can be found in the Figures section of this report.
As part of our analyses, we identified the following model layers within the subsurface profile. For a more detailed view of the model layer depths at each boring location, refer to the GeoModel.
Model Layer Layer Name General Description
1 Pavement Asphalt concrete pavement, approximately 6” thick
2 Fill Poorly graded gravel with sand
3 Lean Clay Very soft
4 Silty Sand Very loose
5 Sandy Silt Soft to stiff
GEOTECHNICAL OVERVIEW
In our opinion, the proposed Satellite Dish Tower appears to be suitable for construction from a geotechnical engineering perspective provided that the recommendations presented in this geotechnical report are followed.
Below the existing pavement and sandy gravel fill, the native lean clay soils are very soft and compressible which will limit allowable bearing capacity. Furthermore, the loose to very loose sand and silt soils pose a liquefaction settlement potential. Because of these conditions, we recommend the proposed Satellite Dish Tower be supported on a mat foundation bearing on
Structural Fill. Stabilization of the foundation area with two layers of Stabilization Fill and biaxial geogrid will be necessary due to the poor subgrade conditions. Terracon should be contacted to review exposed subgrade conditions and verify stabilization recommendations during construction.
Liquefiable soils were encountered in the borings from a depth of 16 to 50 feet, resulting in an
IBC Site Class F. For a 2% probability of exceedance in 50-year seismic event, the estimated liquefaction induced settlement is up to 11 inches. Reducing this liquefaction-induced settlement will require ground improvement which will be costly due to the depth of the liquefiable soils. Use of a mat foundation will reduce differential settlement, but will also be subject to total sett lement following a major seismic event.

Geotechnical engineering recommendations for foundation systems and other earth connected phases of the project are outlined below. The recommendations contained in this report are based upon the results of field and laboratory testing (Exploration Results), engineering analyses, and our current understanding of the proposed project.
The General Comments section provides an understanding of the report limitations.
EARTHWORK
Earthwork is anticipated to include removal of asphalt pavements, excavations, and fill placement for shallow foundations. The following sections provide recommendations for use in the preparation of specifications for the work. Recommendations include critical quality criteria, as necessary, to render the sites in the state considered in our geotechnical engineering evaluation for the shallow foundations.
Site Preparation
Groundwater was encountered at an approximate depth of 6 feet and may impact excavations at the time of construction.
Existing pavement and granular fill, debris, loose, soft, or frozen soil and other deleterious materials encountered during construction should be removed from beneath the foundation areas.
There was a previous building in the proposed construction area and construction debris may be encountered during excavation. Our initial test boring encountered refusal at a depth of four feet and our interpretation is that we drilled into construction debris. All construction debris should be removed from beneath the shallow foundation area.
Following excavation to foundation elevation, stabilization of the very soft clay soils will be required. Once the overexcavation is complete, the geotechnical engineer should observe the subgrade. Subgrade should be stabilized by placing two layers of Stabilization Fill and biaxial geogrid. First, a bi-axial geogrid product (such as those provided by Tensar® (BX1100 grid or equivalent) or Mirafi® (BXG110 geogrid or equivalent)) should be placed on the subgrade followed by 12-inch thick layer of the Stabilization Fill. Then another layer of biaxial geogrid should be placed on to of the first lift of Stabilization Fill followed by another 12- inch thick layer of
Stabilization Fill. Stabilization Fill should be placed in uniform lifts and seated in-place by tamping using the bucket of an excavator or backhoe, or by making several passes using a static compactor or track equipment. Vibratory or excessive compaction effort should not be applied, and care should be taken to minimize disturbance to underlying native soils.
Although evidence of underground facilities such as septic tanks, cesspools, basements, and utilities was not observed during the site reconnaissance, such features could be encountered during construction. If unexpected fills or underground facilities are encountered, such features
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 5 should be removed, and the excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to backfill placement and/or construction.
Dewatering
Groundwater was encountered at a depth of approximately 6 feet in the boring; however, water elevations vary seasonally and may rise or lower. Accordingly, dewatering may be required for the foundation excavation. Pumping from sumps may be utilized to control groundwater within excavations. The dewatering system should be designed to lower groundwater a minimum of 12 inches below excavation bottom, and so that groundwater seeping from excavations walls does not occur. The contractor should be responsible for the design and implementation of the dewatering systems.
Fill Material Types
Pea gravel or other similar non-cementitious, poorly graded materials should not be used as fill or backfill without the prior approval of the geotechnical engineer. Fill material should meet the following requirements:
Fill Type 1 Application
Requirements
Gradation
Plasticity Size
Percent finer

1. All fill should consist of approved materials that are free of organic matter and debris. Frozen material should not be used, and fill should not be placed on a frozen subgrade. A sample of each material type should be submitted to the geotechnical engineer for evaluation.
2. Clean crushed angular rock
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 6
Fill Compaction Requirements
The top lift of Structural Fill directly below the footing should meet the following compaction requirements.
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Fill Lift Thickness 8-inches or less in loose thickness
Compaction 95% of the material’s maximum dry density (modified Proctor - ASTM D
1557)
Moisture Content Within 2% of optimum moisture content as determined by the modified
Proctor test at the time of placement and compaction
Grading and Drainage
Positive drainage away from the structure should be provided during construction and maintained throughout the life of the proposed project. Infiltration of surface water into excavations should be prevented during construction. All grades should provide effective drainage away from structures during and after construction. Water permitted to pond next to structures can result in greater soil movements than those discussed in this report. Estimated movements described in this report are based on effective drainage for the life of the and cannot be relied upon if effective drainage is not maintained.
Earthwork Construction Considerations
Soft, loose, pumping, rutting or otherwise unstable near-surface subgrade conditions will be encountered during general construction operations, especially if the soils are wetted and/or subjected to repetitive construction traffic. Such soils are not considered suitable for support of structures and should be removed and replaced with Stabilization Fill and Structural Fill in accordance with this report. A Mirafi BXG110 Geogrid separating the native soils from the
Stabilization Fill is required to form a stable surface for construction. The use of light weight construction equipment, minimizing repetitive trafficking and performing construction during dryer seasons would aid in reducing subgrade disturbance.
The earthwork efforts should be monitored under the direction of the Geotechnical Engineer.
Monitoring should include documentation of areas requiring Stabilization Fill.

SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS
If the proposed structure site has been prepared in accordance with the requirements noted in
Earthwork, the following design parameters are applicable for shallow foundations. In our opinion, the proposed Satellite Dish Tower can be supported by a lightly loaded shallow mat foundation system bearing on properly placed and compacted Structural Fill overlying
Stabilization Fill. Design recommendations for shallow foundations for the proposed structure are presented in the following paragraphs.
Building Design Parameters – Compressive Loads
Parameter Isolated
Net allowable bearing pressure for footing bearing on placed and compacted Structural Fill 1 500 psf
Minimum Dimensions 13 feet
Maximum Dimensions 15 feet
Minimum embedment of exterior footings below finished grade for frost protection 30 inches
Minimum Structural Fill thickness below footing 12 inches
Minimum Stabilization Fill thickness below
Structural Fill
24 inches
Approximate total settlement 2 1 inch
Estimated differential settlement 2 <½ inch between columns
Ultimate coefficient of sliding friction 0.40
1. The maximum net allowable bearing pressure is the pressure in excess of the minimum surrounding overburden pressure at the footing base elevation. An appropriate factor of safety has been applied. These bearing pressure values can be increased by 1/3 for transient loads.
2. Settlements resulting from the structural loads noted in Project Description.
3. A biaxial grid should be installed after each 12-inch lift of Stabilization Fill.
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 8
Foundation Construction Considerations
As noted in Earthwork, the footing excavations should be evaluated under the direction of the
Geotechnical Engineer. The base of all foundation excavations should be free of water and loose soil, prior to placing concrete. Concrete should be placed soon after excavating to reduce bearing soil disturbance. Care should be taken to prevent wetting or drying of the bearing materials during construction. Excessively wet or dry material or any loose/disturbed material in the bottom of the footing excavations should be removed/reconditioned before foundation concrete is placed.
Since unsuitable soil extends deeper than practical to remove, the subgrade should be stabilized using geotextiles in combination with Stabilization Fill as stated in Earthwork. Placement of
Structural Fill or Stabilization Fill below footings should extend laterally beyond all edges of the footings at least 8 inches per foot of overexcavation depth below footing base elevation.
Placement and compaction should be completed in accordance with Earthwork. The overexcavation and backfill procedure is shown in the following figure.
SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Based on the results of our exploration, the subsurface soil profile at the proposed structure is best represented by Site Class F according to the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) due to the presence of liquefiable soils. Site class factors may be selected based on a Site Class E as shown in the table below. The National Seismic Hazard Map database was searched to identify the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and spectral accelerations for 0.2 second (Ss) and 1.0 second
(S1) periods for a 2% probability of exceedance (PE) in 50 years at the project site for Site Class
B. These values should be adjusted for site effects using appropriate site class factors from the
2015 IBC.

1. In general accordance with the 2015 International Building Code, Section 1613.3.2. IBC Site Class is based on the average characteristics of the upper 100 feet of the subsurface profile as described in
ASCE 7-10.
2. The 2015 International Building Code (IBC) requires a site soil profile determination extending to a depth of 100 feet for seismic site classification. The current scope does not include the required 100 foot soil profile determination. The boring extended to a maximum depth of 50 feet, and this seismic site class definition considers that similar soil conditions continue below the maximum depth of the subsurface exploration. Additional exploration to deeper depths would be required to confirm the conditions below the current depth of exploration.
3. As discussed in this report, portions of the site soils are liquefiable; consequently, the Site Class is F per
2015 IBC and ASCE 7-10 Table 20.3-1, for any profile containing soils vulnerable to potential failure or collapse under seismic loading such as liquefiable soils. However, Section 20.3.1 of ASCE 7-10 allows site coefficients Fa and Fv to be determined assuming that liquefaction does not occur for structures with fundamental periods of vibration less than 0.5 second. Based on the results of the field exploration, Site Class E may be used to determine the values of Fa and Fv in accordance with Section 20.3.1 of the ASCE 7-10.
LIQUEFACTION
The proposed structure is shown in an area mapped as having high liquefaction potential.
Liquefaction analysis was performed using a seismic event with a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years. With this seismic design event ground motion, the estimated liquefaction-induced vertical settlement is approximately 11 inches. Due to the thickness and loose consistency of the sand and silt soils, ground improvement (such as rammed aggregate piers) extending to a depth of at least 40 feet is expected to be necessary in order to reduce the liquefaction settlement. Use
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 10 of a lightly-loaded mat foundation will mitigate the differential settlement potential, however post-earthquake settlements of several inches are still likely.
Additional information can be provided upon request for ground improvement options.
CORROSIVITY
The table below lists the results of laboratory soluble sulfate, soluble chloride, electrical resistivity, and pH testing. The values may be used to estimate potential corrosive characteristics of the on-site soils with respect to contact with the various underground materials which will be used for project construction.

B-1 5.0 9.93 1,510 8.53 3.04
An aggressive subsurface environment where corrosion can deteriorate the buried steel over their design life can generally be identified by soil resistivity and pH tests. The following criteria for corrosive soil are specified in AASHTO LRFD Section 10.7.5.
◼ Electrical resistivity less than 2,000 ohm-cm
◼ pH less than 5.5
◼ pH between 5.5 and 8.5 in soils with high organic content
On-site soils at the proposed Satellite Dish Tower are considered aggressive to buried steel based on laboratory test results. Based on the test results and ACI manuals, sulfate exposure to concrete appears to be negligible. Type II cement may be used for concrete applications.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Our analysis and opinions are based upon our understanding of the project, the geotechnical conditions in the area, and the data obtained from our site exploration. Natural variations will occur between exploration point locations or due to the modifying effects of construction or weather.
The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until during or after construction.
Terracon should be retained as the Geotechnical Engineer, where noted in this report, to provide observation and testing services during pertinent construction phases. If variations appear, we can provide further evaluation and supplemental recommendations. If variations are noted in the
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 11 absence of our observation and testing services on-site, we should be immediately notified so that we can provide evaluation and supplemental recommendations.
Our Scope of Services does not include either specifically or by implication any environmental or biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or prevention of pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination or pollution, other studies should be undertaken.

Number of Borings Boring Depth (feet) Planned Location
1 51.5’ or auger refusal Satellite Dish Tower
Boring Layout and Elevations: Unless otherwise noted, Terracon personnel provided the boring layout. Coordinates were obtained with a handheld GPS unit (estimated horizontal accuracy of about ±10 feet).
Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We advanced the borings with a track-mounted rotary drill rig using continuous flight hollow stem augers. Four samples were obtained in the upper 10 feet of the boring and at intervals of 5 feet thereafter. In the thin-walled tube sampling procedure, a thin-walled, seamless steel tube with a sharp cutting edge was pushed hydraulically into the soil to obtain a relatively undisturbed sample. In the split-barrel sampling procedure, a standard 2-inch outer diameter split-barrel sampling spoon was driven into the ground by a 140-pound automatic hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of a normal 18-inch penetration is recorded as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) resistance value. The SPT resistance values, also referred to as N-values, are indicated on the boring logs at the test depths. We observed and recorded groundwater levels during drilling and sampling. For safety purposes, all borings were backfilled with auger cuttings after their completion. Pavements were patched with cold-mix asphalt.
The sampling depths, penetration distances, and other sampling information was recorded on the field boring logs. The samples were placed in appropriate containers and taken to our soil laboratory for testing and classification by a Geotechnical Engineer. Our exploration team prepared field boring logs as part of the drilling operations. These field logs included visual classifications of the materials encountered during drilling and our interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. Final boring logs were prepared from the field logs. The final boring logs represent the
Geotechnical Engineer's interpretation of the field logs and include modifications based on observations and tests of the samples in our laboratory.
Laboratory Testing
The project engineer reviewed the field data and assigned laboratory tests to understand the engineering properties of the various soil strata, as necessary, for this project. Procedural standards noted below are for reference to methodology in general. In some cases, variations to methods were applied because of local practice or professional judgment.
