JACOBS - AMMANN & WHITNEY, JV
1.0 INTRODUCTION
At the request of Mr. Jerry King, PE, representing Jacobs – Ammann & Whitney, JV (Jacobs), and in accordance with our proposal (ATL File No. CD998-188X-05-12, dated June 1, 2012) Atlantic Testing Laboratories, Limited (ATL) performed a subsurface investigation and geotechnical evaluation for the referenced project. The subsurface investigation was performed on October 10 and 11, 2012.
The purpose of the investigation was to ascertain the general subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the site, to evaluate the engineering significance of these findings, and to provide geotechnical recommendations related to the proposed retaining wall and asphalt pavement design and construction, in support of the Ballistics Evaluation Center - Phase III project. The proposed project scope included the advancement of four soil borings and the excavation of two test pits. Due to access limitations, soil boring B-3 was not completed during this subsurface investigation.
The proposed project is located on Twentieth Circle south of Twentieth Avenue at Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, Morris County, New Jersey. The approximate project coordinates are N 40º57′09″ latitude and W 74º33′21″ longitude. A Site Location Plan is included in Appendix A.
All dimensions and elevations referenced in this report are in units of feet, unless otherwise noted.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of razing the existing, abandoned B620 building. The project area will generally be developed into asphalt-paved parking for the existing B617 building. A retaining wall is proposed along the east property line, adjacent to the existing B620 building, to raise the site grade for additional parking.
Jacobs-Ammann & Whitney, JV Page 2 of 10 ATL No. CD7226E-01-10-12 Rev. 1 February 22, 2013
3.0 SITE SURFACE CONDITIONS
The proposed site is generally developed within the proposed parking area and retaining wall footprints. The existing building B620 is surrounded by lawn area, an existing retaining wall and concrete sidewalks along the north and west walls, and a French-drain located between building B617 and B620. A gravel vehicle pathway is located along the southern portion of the site that allows access to exterior septic cisterns located at the existing southeast building corner. The site generally slopes from north to south from approximately elevations 860 to 840. There is a steep downward slope located to the east of the project site.
4.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION & SAMPLING METHODOLOGY
The boring and test pit locations were selected and staked by representatives of Jacobs. The boring and test pit surface elevations were not provided to ATL. A Boring and Test Pit Location Plan, prepared by Jacobs, is included in Appendix B.
Three borings (Borings B-1, B-2, and B-4) were advanced utilizing 4¼-inch inside diameter hollow stem augers. Soil sampling and standard penetration testing was performed utilizing a 2-inch outside diameter split spoon sampler in accordance with ASTM D 1586. Soil sampling was generally performed continuously to boring termination at depths ranging from 8 to 10.3 feet beneath the surface. Auger refusal was encountered at depths ranging from 4.3 to 10.3 feet.
Rock coring was not performed to verify the presence of boulders or bedrock at the auger refusal depths.
The soil samples were visually classified in the field by a geotechnical engineer in general accordance with the Burmister Soil Classification System and in the laboratory using the Unified Soil Classification System. The split spoon sampler does not recover material larger than 1⅜-inch in nominal dimension; therefore, the soil classifications may not be representative of the entire soil matrix. The visual classifications and standard penetration test results are presented on the Subsurface Investigation Logs included in Appendix C.
A temporary observation well was installed in boring B-2 utilizing 1-inch PVC machine slot screen with sand pack and a bentonite seal, to facilitate future water readings.
Two test pits were excavated utilizing a Yanmar ViO Universal 35 rubber tracked excavator to facilitate field percolation testing. The test pits were logged by an ATL Geotechnical Engineer.
During soil boring and test pit advancement, recovered soil samples were collected and field screened for the measurable presence of volatile organic compounds (VOC) using a photoionization detector (PID) equipped with a 10.6 eV lamp. No visual and olfactive evidence of petroleum-impacted soil were observed in the recovered soil samples.
The boreholes and test pits were backfilled with on-site soils upon completion. It is important that the backfilled borings and test pits be monitored for settlement or subsidence. This will be the responsibility of Jacobs and/or their client. ATL assumes no liability for loss or damage resulting from borehole or test pit settlement.

5.0 SITE SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The following description of subsurface conditions is based on the soil and groundwater conditions encountered during this subsurface investigation. Actual subsurface conditions may vary across the site in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions. Detailed subsurface descriptions are provided on the Subsurface Investigation Logs.
5.1 Soil Borings
The borings generally encountered nil to 4 inches topsoil, organics, and or crushed stone at the surface. At boring locations B-1 and B-2, the surficial materials were generally underlain by medium compact (N values 10 to 30) to very compact (N values greater than 50) gravelly sand with varying proportions of silt and cobbles that extended to boring termination at depths ranging from 8 to 10.3 feet below the surface. Auger refusal was encountered at depths ranging from 4.3 and 10.3 feet on possible bedrock or boulders. Boring B-4 encountered approximately 6 feet of gravelly sand fill with varying proportions of organics, wood fragments, and foam and paper debris, underlying the surficial materials. The fill was underlain by very compact gravelly sand with varying proportions of silt that extended to auger refusal at a depth of 10.2 feet.
Boring B-1 encountered auger refusal at a depth of approximately 4.3 feet. Soil sampling was performed to a depth of 8 feet with the augers at 4.3 feet. An additional soil boring was performed at a 6-foot offset to the west where auger refusal was encountered at a depth of approximately 5 feet.
5.2 Test Pits
Test pits TP-1 and TP-2 generally encountered 8 to 10 inches of topsoil and organic material that was underlain by gravelly, silty sand with cobbles and boulders that extended to test pit termination at depths of 5 and 5.7 feet, respectively. Trace roots and root hairs were observed in the test pits that extended to a maximum depth of approximately 2 and 3.5 due the presence of surrounding trees. One percolation test was performed adjacent to the excavated test pit locations at a depth of approximately 3 feet below the surface. The testing was performed within the test pit, in general accordance with New Jersey State Department of Health (NJDOH) guidelines. The percolation test results are summarized in the following table:

5.3 Groundwater
Groundwater measurements were performed during the subsurface investigation through cased and open boreholes, the temporary observation well installed in boring B-2, and through test pit observations. The soil samples were also classified for coloration and relative moisture conditions.
Based on groundwater measurements and soil moisture content, freestanding groundwater was not encountered in the boreholes or test pits during this subsurface investigation. Isolated water seepage was observed in the southwest corner of TP-2 at a depth of approximately 4.5 feet below the surface.
Fluctuations in water levels may occur due to seasonal and climatic variations, changes in surface runoff patterns, construction activity, and subsequent development of the site along with other interrelated factors. Due to the underlying very compact soils present at the site, perched water should be anticipated in shallow foundation and utility excavations, especially during wetter periods of the year.
6.0 LABORATORY ANALYSES
Select soil samples were submitted to ATL’s geotechnical laboratories for physical analyses.
Moisture Content
Water Content Determination of Soil (ASTM D 2216) was performed on nine (9) soil samples.
The test results are located on the subsurface investigation logs included in Appendix C.
Particle Size Determination
A Particle Size Analysis without Hydrometer (ASTM D 422) was performed on four (4) soil samples. The Particle Size Distribution Curves are included in Appendix D.
Atterberg Limits
Three (3) soil samples were selected for Atterberg Limits determination at boring locations B-2 and B-4. The tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D4318 “Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils.” The test results are located on the subsurface investigation logs and summarized in the following table:

TP-2 S-1 1.0 - 5.0 <0.001
Based on the laboratory test results of the samples analyzed, the sulfate exposure to concrete is considered negligible.
Corrosivity
Four (4) soil samples were selected for corrosive properties determination in accordance with AWWA C105.A2.1 Appendix A. The test results are summarized in Appendix D. The test results indicate that the soils analyzed are not corrosive to ductile iron.
Laboratory CBR
A 1-Point Laboratory California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test (ASTM D 1883) was performed on three (3) soil samples collected from test pit excavations and auger cuttings. The tests were performed on soils compacted to 95-percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D698. The laboratory test reports are included in Appendix D. The results are summarized in the following table: A CBR of Laboratory Compacted Soils in accordance with ASTM D 1883 was performed on three soil samples. The CBR samples were remolded at 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698 and at optimum moisture content.
The samples were then soaked, with 10 pounds of surcharge weight, for 96 hours. The test results are summarized in the following table:

7.0 GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION
The Geotechnical Engineering Discussion is based on information provided by Jacobs, and the subsurface conditions outlined in this report.
7.1 Proposed Retaining Wall
7.1.1 Site Work
Site work for the proposed retaining wall will require the removal of the existing building, septic cisterns, abandoned site utilities, topsoil, trees, and miscellaneous fill materials. The existing building foundations should be completely removed, within the wall footprint. The excavations created to remove the building foundations, utilities, and deleterious fill materials should be backfilled with compacted Granular Fill.
7.1.2 Foundations
Based on the findings of this subsurface investigation, it is recommended that foundations for the retaining wall be founded on the medium compact to very compact native, gravelly sand encountered in the soil borings and test pit excavations.
The foundation excavations should be advanced to a minimum of 3 feet below final exterior grade. Where encountered, deleterious fill/organic soils identified in the area of boring B-4 should be completely removed, under the direction of a Geotechnical Engineer, to the underlying very compact, native, gravelly sand soils. The over excavations to remove the deleterious fill/organic materials should extend 1 foot horizontally on each side of the proposed footing for each 1 foot of over excavation beneath the planned footing elevation.
The exposed footing subgrade should be proof-compacted under the direction of a Geotechnical Engineer. Footing subgrades that become saturated or unstable, should be over excavated and replaced with a 6-inch layer of NJDOT Number 4, crushed stone. The NJDOT Number 4, crushed stone should be compacted with four passes of a dual-drum walk-behind vibratory roller; a Wacker DPU 6055 vibrating plate tamper; or equivalent, under the direction of a Geotechnical Engineer. The Number 4, crushed stone will provide a stable working surface and dewatering media if ground or surface water enters the excavation during foundation subgrade preparation and construction.
7.1.3 Soil Bearing Capacity and Settlement
Footings founded on the medium compact to very compact gravelly sand with silt, and/or compacted Granular Fill may be designed using an allowable soil bearing capacity of 4000 psf, provided the recommendations in this report are followed.
Jacobs-Ammann & Whitney, JV Page 7 of 10
Estimated total and differential settlements should not exceed 1-inch and ½-inch, respectively.
Since the foundation subgrade soils are granular, settlement is expected to occur as each new load is applied to the foundations.
7.2 Frost Protection
Shallow foundations must be founded a minimum of 3 feet below final exterior grade to provide adequate frost protection.
7.3 Asphalt Pavement Design
7.3.1 Site Work
Site work for pavement areas will require the removal of the existing building, septic cisterns, abandoned site utilities, asphalt, concrete, and French-drain. The existing building foundations and slabs should be removed to a minimum of 2 feet fellow proposed subgrade elevations. The existing basement concrete slab-on-grade should be removed or broken up to promote drainage beneath the proposed pavement. Where encountered, deleterious fill/organic soils identified in the area of boring B-4 should be completely removed, under the direction of a Geotechnical Engineer, to the underlying very compact, native, gravelly sand soils. The excavations to remove the building foundations and deleterious fill should be backfilled with compacted Granular Fill. After performing the cuts and prior to placing fill, the exposed subgrade soils should be proof-compacted with a minimum of a 10-ton vibratory roller, under the observation of a Geotechnical Engineer. The subgrade should also be proof rolled using a tandem axle truck with a minimum gross weight of 40,000 lbs. The proof rolling must be conducted under the observation of a Geotechnical Engineer. Any areas noted to weave or deflect should be excavated to stable material, at the direction of a Geotechnical Engineer, and replaced with compacted Granular Fill. Granular Fill should be used to raise the pavement areas to the proposed subgrade elevations.
Due to the moderate percentage of fines, the subgrade soils encountered in the soil borings and test pits are considered moderately moisture sensitive and frost susceptible. To minimize frost action in the asphalt structures, a minimum of 12 inches of Granular Fill is recommended beneath the granular subbase. If this is not possible, based on economic considerations, the depth of Granular Fill can be reduced. If the depth of Granular Fill is reduced, premature pavement deterioration and/or maintenance should be anticipated. Consideration should be given to the installation of drainage in the Granular Fill layer to reduce the potential for a bath tub effect.
Proper drainage and control of surface water will be important to the longevity of the pavement structures.

7.4 General
Care must be exercised while excavating in the vicinity of the existing structures and utilities, which are to remain in-place, to prevent their disturbance.
The in-situ soils are moderately moisture sensitive and frost susceptible. Construction traffic should be limited on exposed subgrades, especially during wetter periods of the year. Where possible, pavement subgrades and foundation excavations should be sloped or crowned to drainage swales or a sump and pump system during construction to prevent surface run-off and perched groundwater from ponding on the subgrades.
Cobbles, boulders and/or bedrock, and man-made fill should be anticipated in shallow foundation and utility excavations. The granular in-situ soils may be susceptible to side wall sloughing in open excavations especially when exposed to excessive moisture.
The soil parameters presented in the following table may be used for the following backfill materials:
Table of Soil Properties
Soil Property Granular Fill

Fill Angle of Internal Friction (°) 32 34 Active Earth Coefficient (Ka)* 0.31 0.28 At Rest Earth Coefficient (Ko)* 0.47 0.44 Passive Earth Coefficient (Kp)* 3.25 3.54 Ultimate Coefficient of Sliding Friction 0.44 0.47 Wet Unit Weight (pcf) 135-145 140-150
*The Rankine earth pressure coefficients are for level backfill placed in a fully drained condition.
Jacobs-Ammann & Whitney, JV Page 9 of 10
Granular Fill should consist of a clean, screened, crushed, or bank-run gravel conforming to the following gradation:
Sieve Size Percent Passing
4” 100 ¼” 35-65
#200 0-10
Engineered Structural Fill should consist of a screened, crushed gravel or crushed ledge rock conforming to the following gradation:
3” 100 1” 80 - 95 ½” 45 - 75 #4 30 - 60
#40 10 - 40 #200 0 - 7
The on-site soils, excluding deleterious organics and oversize material (particles larger than 4 inches in diameter), may be used for general site fill. Granular Fill should be utilized as retaining wall backfill.
All fill and backfill should be placed and compacted in lifts not exceeding eight inches in loose thickness, at a moisture content of ± 2% of the Optimum Moisture Content, and to densities in excess of 95%, as determined by ASTM D1557, or as directed by the Geotechnical Engineer.
Compaction should be performed with vibratory rollers unless there is concern for damage to adjacent structures or underground utilities.

8.0 SUMMARY
The subsurface investigation logs and this report in its entirety should be provided to the contractors for information and interpretation. The subsurface investigation logs may not be representative of the entire site subsurface conditions, but only what was found at the individual test locations at the time the investigation was made. The subsurface soil and groundwater conditions may be different from those described on the subsurface investigation logs and summarized in this report.
This report was prepared to present the findings of our subsurface investigation and engineering evaluation, and to outline concepts to be utilized in foundation design and construction. These concepts may require alterations to meet the specific design and economic considerations for this project.
