1.0 Introduction
According to the United States Army Corps of Engineers – Detroit District, the following paragraphs provide background information for the project:
“The Underwood Creek was straightened and lined with concrete in 1971. The channel is trapezoidal with a 40-foot wide bottom and 2:1 bank slopes with an average water depth of 4 to 6 feet. These changes have degraded fish and invertebrate habitat. The proposed project includes concrete removal and channel restoration, to include construction of retaining walls along the channel.
The purpose of the work is to determine the type, nature, engineering properties and the elevation of their occurrence, of the subsurface materials within the Underwood Creek project area. The results will be used for slope stability analysis and/or retaining wall design along the channel banks.
The project site is located on the Underwood Creek between Wee Lane and North 104th Street on the Underwood Creek in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.”

4.0 Procedures
4.1 Soil Borings
A total of six (6) soil borings were advanced at the project site by Subsurface Exploration Services (SES) under subcontract to AECOM using a truck mounted Diedrich D-50 rotary drill rig. An AECOM field engineer was on site during the subsurface exploration program to observe the collected samples and log the boreholes.
The project was originally planned to have a total of nine (9) soil borings. Following AECOM’s initial site visit and co-ordination with USACE, it was determined that several of the boring locations were inaccessible. The boring program was then modified by USACE to include six (6) borings which were accessible with drilling equipment and without clearing and grubbing. In addition, the upper portion of boring UC-03-13 was redrilled as boring UC-03-13A to obtain soil samples in the upper 14 feet due to the samples being damaged during relocation of the drill rig to a different boring.
The borings were advanced using solid stem augers to a depth of approximately 10 feet, at which point a 4-inch isolation casing was installed and the borings were continued using a roller bit and rotary wash methods. Representative soil samples were obtained at continuous intervals in the upper 15 feet of the boring and at 2.5-foot intervals below 15 feet in general accordance with ASTM D 1586, "Standard Test Method for Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils" using an automatic hydraulic hammer.
Relatively undisturbed Shelby tube samples were taken in cohesive soils in general accordance with ASTM D1587 “Standard Practice for Thin Walled Tube Sampling”. The borings were advanced using these methods to approximately 14 to 40.5 feet below the ground surface. The soil borings were backfilled with auger cuttings and bentonite pellets upon completion.
The soil samples were returned to the AECOM laboratory in Vernon Hills, Illinois for testing as described later in this report. The results of these observations are shown on the final boring logs that are included in Appendix B. A copy of the AECOM Standard Boring Log, Field, and Laboratory Procedures are included in Appendix A. Photographs of the boring locations are included in Appendix D.
An AECOM field engineer was present during the drilling activities to prepare field logs documenting drilling methods, SPT results, soil conditions, groundwater measurements, and other pertinent geotechnical-related observations. It is important to note that the information included on the field logs is based on the initial interpretations of the soil conditions and soil types by the AECOM field representative.
These field logs were then used along with additional visual observations and the results of laboratory testing and laboratory classification for completing the final boring logs.
4.2 Borehole Survey
The USACE provided AECOM with a location map and coordinates of the original nine (and revised six) proposed soil boring locations. AECOM located the borings prior to drilling based on review of the figures.
Following the performance of the soil borings, AECOM use a hand-held GPS device to survey the final boring locations.
The soil boring locations are presented on Figure 1 and the coordinates are provided on Table 1.
4.3 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory strength and index tests were completed on selected soil samples to characterize the physical properties of the soils encountered in the soil borings. The table below outlines the laboratory tests and corresponding ASTM designation completed by AECOM:

5.0 Exploration Results
5.1 Area Geology
The soil deposits in the Milwaukee area have been studied extensively and have been published in numerous reports prepared on behalf of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) for their deep tunnel project. These studies were commissioned in the 1980s and 1990s. One such study for the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) characterizes the site geology as follows:
“The soil deposits overlying bedrock in Milwaukee County range from a few to over 250 feet in thickness.
In general, these deposits can be differentiated into soils formed by continental glaciation and soils formed by recent fluvial deposition. The glacial soils were deposited by a series of glaciers that advanced out of the Lake Michigan basin, and in the proglacial lakes and streams associated with the glaciers.
These soils were deposited about 13,000 to 15,000 years ago and are present throughout the CSO study area. The postglacial soils were deposited in streams and shallow estuaries during a major fluctuation in the water level of ancestral Lake Michigan. These soils were deposited within the last 6,000 years and are present in the downstream reaches of the major river valleys in the CSO study area.
In general, the glacial soils consist predominately of till and proglacial lake sediment….Till 2 is the most common till. It is the surficial soil in most places within the CSO study area and present in the subsurface throughout.
Lacustrine sand and silt and outwash are the more common proglacial lake sediments in the subsurface along the lower Menomonee River valley and in the harbor area. Lacustrine silt and clay is more common in most other areas.
Postglacial soil units are found only along the major rivers in the CSO study area….Alluvial soils are present in the upper parts of the river valleys, as the surficial soil, and below and within the estuarine soil in the lower parts of the valley. Along the Milwaukee and Menomonee Rivers, the alluvial soils are present in the lower reaches of the river and are obscured by channelization in the middle and upstream reaches of the study area….The soil materials that make up the alluvial unit were deposited in stream channels as point-bar and channel-lag deposits. They consist of very loose to medium dense, brown to gray, well to poorly graded, silt and sandy silt, to silty sand and gravel. When directly overlying glacial soils, alluvial deposits tend to be quite gravelly.”
The upper portion of the bedrock in the area of the subject site is typically a Silurian Age Dolomite of the Racine Formation. “The Racine Formation is a uniform, light gray, dense dolomite with bedding plane spacings that range from close to medium. There are occasional zones of very closely spaced thin shaly partings and finely vuggy rock.”
5.2 Soil Conditions
A generalized summary of the subsurface conditions encountered during the subsurface exploration program is discussed below. The geologic descriptions provided below are generalized and brief;
individual soil boring logs in Appendix B should be reviewed to determine the actual subsurface conditions at the individual boring locations. The conditions encountered are consistent with the previous regional studies described above.
AECOM Underwood Creek Geotechnical Investigation 7
Ground Surface Boring UC-03-13 had approximately twelve inches of topsoil beginning at the ground surface and boring UC-02-13 had approximately 10 inches of concrete at the ground surface. The other borings had exposed soil beginning at the ground surface.
Fill Soils All of the soil borings encountered fill deposits near the ground surface. These fill soils consisted of a mixture of sandy and clayey soils and contained varying amounts of limestone fragments and concrete.
These soils are highly erratic in both composition and relative density. The following table provides a summary of the thicknesses and bottom elevation of fill deposits encountered:
Fill Thickness Summary
Boring Depth to Bottom of Fill (feet)
Elevation of
Bottom of Fill
(feet)
UC-01-13 4 671.7
UC-02-13 4.5 672.0
UC-03-13 8 661.3
UC-03A-13 6 663.3
UC-04-13 9 673.8
UC-05-13 9 676.5
UC-06-13 4 678.3
Silty Clay Silty clay with trace to little amounts of fine to coarse sand and fine to coarse gravel (USCS: CL) is a primary deposit at the site. These soils are proglacial lake sediments. The thickness, depth, and consistency of this deposit were highly erratic and no discernible trends in these variables are readily identifiable, as shown on the boring logs in Appendix B. These soils had layers of sandy soils of variable thickness and at variable depths within the overall soil matrix. These cohesive soils ranged in consistency from medium to hard with calibrated penetrometer readings ranging from 0.5 to greater than
4.5 tons per square foot (tsf). In general, these soils were very stiff with average calibrated penetrometer readings between 2 and 3 tons per square foot (tsf).
Sand/Silt/Gravel In addition to the silty clay stratum discussed above, there were various seams and layers of granular material encountered throughout the borings. The soils are alluvial deposits. These deposits ranged from primarily silty soils (USCS: ML), primarily sandy soils (USCS: SP, SM, SP-SM), and primarily gravelly soils (USCS: GP, GP-GM). The relative density of these soils ranged from very loose to very dense based on SPT-N values. In general, the soils were primarily sandy (USCS: SP, SM) and were typically medium dense. The boring logs in Appendix B should be consulted to evaluate the variability in these strata.
Bedrock/Boulder Bedrock was not cored in any of the borings; however, borings UC-05-13 and UC-06-13 encountered a boulder or possible bedrock at a depth of approximately 35.7 feet (elevation 649.8 feet) and 37.4 feet (elevation 644.9 feet), respectively. The boreholes were advanced approximately 1.3 to 1.5 feet through
AECOM Underwood Creek Geotechnical Investigation 8 the boulder or bedrock using a rock bit, but no coring was performed to evaluate the quality or composition of the rock.
5.3 Water Conditions
Groundwater was encountered before the start of wash rotary drilling methods at a depth of 3.1 feet in boring UC-02-13 to approximately 11.3 to 13.9 feet in borings UC-01-13, UC-04-13, and UC-05-13. No groundwater was observed in the other borings. These water level measurements were made under short term conditions and therefore may not be representative of the long term position of the groundwater table. Observation wells would need to be installed and monitored over a period of several weeks in order to determine the long term position of the water table. Additionally, both seasonal and annual fluctuations in groundwater levels will likely occur.

6.0 Engineering Properties
AECOM understands that the USACE intends to use the soil boring and laboratory testing data obtained from the investigation described in this report to perform slope stability and/or bearing capacity analyses at the project site. Given the large degree of variability in soil conditions observed in both the borings and the laboratory testing, AECOM recommends that the USACE use appropriate factors of safety to account for variability in the selection of soil properties.
A table summarizing the typical range in soil index and strength properties from the MMSD CT 5/6 Cross Town Collector System Geotechnical Study is provided in Appendix F. The following section provides AECOM’s recommendations for soil properties based on the results of the soil borings and the laboratory testing, and comparison with the CT 5/6 soil test program. The three primary material types are outlined below along with a discussion of methodologies used to establish soil properties for each boring profile. In general, strata changes of one‐foot thickness or less were omitted from the engineering property tabulations. The recommended properties at each of the boring locations are provided in the following subsections. In general, strata changes of one‐foot thickness or less were omitted from the engineering property tabulations.
Fill Soils: At the request of USACE, estimates of the strength of the fill soils have been made using the methods outlined below for Granular/Cohesionless soils and for cohesive soils, and adjusted to account for inherent variability in the fill deposits, where appropriate. We have provided estimates which we believe are conservative; however, caution must be used in the use of the soil properties and the actual soil conditions must be carefully observed during construction to evaluate the appropriateness of these recommendations.
Granular/Cohesionless Soils: The engineering properties of granular soils were primarily derived from SPT tests performed in the field and a limited amount of laboratory testing for moisture content and soil density. SPT‐N values which were obtained in the field were corrected to N60 values in general accordance with procedures outlined in manual EM 1110‐1‐1905 (30 October 1992) “Bearing Capacity of Soils”. This conversion was performed with the assumption that the automatic hammer used in the field had an efficiency of approximately 85% for the rod energy correction and the overburden correction was made in accordance with correction factors derived by Tokimatsu and Seed (1984).
Once N60 was obtained, the relative density (Dr) for each sample was estimated using the method of Gibbs and Holtz (1957). This estimation was performed using the field SPT‐N value corrected for energy, but without the overburden correction applied in accordance with the method. Using the relative density estimation, friction angles were estimated using the Peck, Hanson, and Thornburn (1974) correlations as outlined on Table 3‐1B of EM 1110‐1‐1905. Excerpts from EM 1110‐1‐1905 are included in Appendix E at the end of this report.
Unless otherwise noted, soil unit weights were estimated using engineering judgment and commonly observed values of unit weights for similar soils. Engineering judgment and engineering experience were used in recommendations for soil friction angle.
Cohesive Soils: The engineering properties of cohesive soils were primarily derived from the laboratory strength and index testing which was performed as well as field testing. The properties of cohesive soil deposits which were not subjected to laboratory testing are not presented.

Water Level Measurement Symbols:
WL : Water Level WCI : Wet Cave In WS : While Sampling DCI : Dry Cave In WD : While Drilling BCR : Before Casing Removal AB : After Boring ACR : After Casing Removal
Water levels indicated on the boring logs are the levels measured in the boring at the time indicated. In pervious soils, the indicated elevations are considered reliable groundwater levels. In impervious soils, the accurate determination of groundwater elevations may not be possible, even after several days of observations; additional evidence of groundwater elevations must be sought.
Gradation Description and Terminology:
Coarse grained or granular soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described as boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine grained soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described as clay or clayey silt if they are cohesive and silt if they are non-cohesive. In addition to gradation, granular soils are defined on the basis of their relative in-place density and fine grained soils on the basis of their strength or consistency and their plasticity.

AECOM Soil Classification System (1)
1. See AECOM General Notes for component gradation terminology, consistency of cohesive soils and relative density of granular soils.
2. Reference: Unified Soil Classification Systems
3. Borderline classifications, used for soils possessing characteristics of two groups, are designated by combinations of group symbols. For example: GW-GC, well-graded gravel-sand mixture with clay binder.
AECOM Field and Laboratory Procedures Subsurface Exploration Procedures
Hand-Auger Drilling (HA) In this procedure, a sampling device is driven into the soil by repeated blows of a sledge hammer or a drop hammer. When the sampler is driven to the desired sample depth, the soil sample is retrieved. The hole is then advanced by manually turning the hand auger until the next sampling depth increment is reached. The hand auger drilling between sampling intervals also helps to clean and enlarge the borehole in preparation for obtaining the next sample.
Power Auger Drilling (PA) In this type of drilling procedure, continuous flight augers are used to advance the boreholes. They are turned and hydraulically advanced by a truck, trailer or track-mounted unit as site accessibility dictates. In auger drilling, casing and drilling mud are not required to maintain open boreholes.
Hollow Stem Auger Drilling (HS) In this drilling procedure, continuous flight augers having open stems are used to advance the boreholes.
The open stem allows the sampling tool to be used without removing the augers from the borehole.
Hollow stem augers thus provide support to the sides of the borehole during the sampling operations.
Rotary Drilling (RB) In employing rotary drilling methods, various cutting bits are used to advance the boreholes. In this process, surface casing and/or drilling fluids are used to maintain open boreholes.
Diamond Core Drilling (DB) Diamond core drilling is used to sample cemented formations. In this procedure, a double tube (or triple tube) core barrel with a diamond bit cuts an annular space around a cylindrical prism of the material sampled. The sample is retrieved by a catcher just above the bit. Samples recovered by this procedure are placed in sturdy containers in sequential order.
AECOM Field and Laboratory Procedures Field Sampling Procedures
Auger Sampling (AS) In this procedure, soil samples are collected from cuttings off of the auger flights as they are removed from the ground. Such samples provide a general indication of subsurface conditions; however, they do not provide undisturbed samples, nor do they provide samples from discrete depths.
Split-Barrel Sampling (SS) - (ASTM Standard D-1586-99) In the split-barrel sampling procedure, a 2-inch O.D. split barrel sampler is driven into the soil a distance of 18 inches by means of a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The value of the Standard Penetration Resistance is obtained by counting the number of blows of the hammer over the final 12 inches of driving.
This value provides a qualitative indication of the in-place relative density of cohesionless soils. The indication is qualitative only, however, since many factors can significantly affect the Standard Penetration Resistance Value, and direct correlation of results obtained by drill crews using different rigs, drilling procedures, and hammer-rod-spoon assemblies should not be made. A portion of the recovered sample is placed in a sample jar and returned to the laboratory for further analysis and testing.
Shelby Tube Sampling Procedure (ST) - ASTM Standard D-1587-94 In the Shelby tube sampling procedure, a thin-walled steel seamless tube with a sharp cutting edge is pushed hydraulically into the soil and a relatively undisturbed sample is obtained. This procedure is generally employed in cohesive soils. The tubes are identified, sealed and carefully handled in the field to avoid excessive disturbance and are returned to the laboratory for extrusion and further analysis and testing.
Giddings Sampler (GS) This type of sampling device consists of 5-foot sections of thin-wall tubing which are capable of retrieving continuous columns of soil in 5-foot maximum increments. Because of a continuous slot in the sampling tubes, the sampler allows field determination of stratification boundaries and containerization of soil samples from any sampling depth within the 5-foot interval.
AECOM Laboratory Procedures
Water Content (Wc) The water content of a soil is the ratio of the weight of water in a given soil mass to the weight of the dry soil. Water content is generally expressed as a percentage.
Hand Penetrometer (Qp) In the hand penetrometer test, the unconfined compressive strength of a soil is determined, to a maximum value of 4.5 tons per square foot (tsf) or 7.0 tsf depending on the testing device utilized, by measuring the resistance of the soil sample to penetration by a small, spring-calibrated cylinder. The hand penetrometer test has been carefully correlated with unconfined compressive strength tests, and thereby provides a useful and a relatively simple testing procedure in which soil strength can be quickly and easily estimated.
Unconfined Compression Tests (Qu) In the unconfined compression strength test, an undisturbed prism of soil is loaded axially until failure or until 20% strain has been reached, whichever occurs first.
Dry Density (γd) The dry density is a measure of the amount of solids in a unit volume of soil. Use of this value is often made when measuring the degree of compaction of a soil.
Classification of Samples In conjunction with the sample testing program, all soil samples are examined in our laboratory and visually classified on the basis of their texture and plasticity in accordance with the AECOM Soil Classification System which is described on a separate sheet. The soil descriptions on the boring logs are derived from this system as well as the component gradation terminology, consistency of cohesive soils and relative density of granular soils as described on a separate sheet entitled "AECOM General Notes". The estimated group symbols included in parentheses following the soil descriptions on the boring logs are in general conformance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) which serves as the basis of the AECOM Soil Classification System.
AECOM Standard Boring Log Procedures
In the process of obtaining and testing samples and preparing this report, standard procedures are followed regarding field logs, laboratory data sheets and samples.
Field logs are prepared during performance of the drilling and sampling operations and are intended to essentially portray field occurrences, sampling locations and procedures.
Samples obtained in the field are frequently subjected to additional testing and reclassification in the laboratory by experienced geotechnical engineers, and as such, differences between the field logs and the final logs may exist. The engineer preparing the report reviews the field logs, laboratory test data and classifications, and using judgment and experience in interpreting this data, may make further changes. It is common practice in the geotechnical engineering profession not to include field logs and laboratory data sheets in engineering reports, because they do not represent the engineer's final opinions as to appropriate descriptions for conditions encountered in the exploration and testing work. Results of laboratory tests are generally shown on the boring logs or are described in the text of the report, as appropriate.
Samples taken in the field, some of which are later subjected to laboratory tests, are retained in our laboratory for sixty days and are then discarded unless special disposition is requested by our client.
Samples retained over a long period of time, even in sealed jars, are subject to moisture loss which changes the apparent strength of cohesive soil, generally increasing the strength from what was originally encountered in the field. Since they are then no longer representative of the moisture conditions initially encountered, observers of these samples should recognize this factor.
