3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling a total of two Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings in the building area. The SPT borings were completed by Uni-Tech Drilling of Franklinville, New Jersey under our observation between July 23 and 25, 2018, utilizing 3-¼ inch inside diameter hollow stem auger with automatic hammer. The sampler was advanced by driving the spoon into undisturbed soil under the impact of a 140-lbf hammer free-falling from 30 inches height per ASTM D1586-11. The borings were staked by GeoConcepts using available site plans in the field. The project civil engineer returned to the site at a later date and performed an “as-drilled” survey of our boring locations. The elevations from this survey are indicated on the logs.
Test boring logs and a boring location plan are presented in Appendix A of this report.
3.1 Geology
The site lies within the Hudson Highlands Physiographic Province of New York. According to local geologic maps, the site is mapped in Grenville and Canada Hill Granite. Based on our subsurface investigation, the sediments and strata correspond favorably to the geologic publications.
Bedrock was cored in test borings B-1 and B-2 for identification and evaluation of the rock. The Rock Quality Designation (RQD) value in the cored rock was measured to be 72 to 73 percent, indicating an overall fair rock quality.
3.2 Stratification
The subsurface materials encountered have been stratified for purposes of our discussions herein. These stratum designations do not imply that the materials encountered are continuous across the site. Stratum designations have been established to characterize similar subsurface conditions based on material gradations and parent geology. The generalized subsurface materials encountered in the test borings completed at the site have been assigned to the following strata:
Stratum A (Existing Fill) generally medium dense or firm, POORLY GRADED SAND
WITH SILT AND GRAVEL, SILTY SAND WITH GRAVEL,
SILTY CLAY WITH SAND, FILL, moist, brown, black
Stratum B (Rock) slightly weathered, very hard, slightly fractured, GRANITE, dark gray, white
The two letter designations included in the strata descriptions presented above and on the test boring logs represent the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) group symbol and group name for the samples based on laboratory testing per ASTM D2487 and visual classifications per ASTM D2488. It should be noted that visual classifications per ASTM D2488 may not match classifications determined by laboratory testing per ASTM D2487. Rock is classified in accordance with the Engineering Descriptions of Rock provided in Appendix A of this report.
3.3 Groundwater
Groundwater level observations were made in the field during drilling of the test borings.
Groundwater was not encountered during drilling. Due to safety concerns to pedestrians, the boreholes were backfilled upon completion of drilling.

The groundwater observations presented herein and considered to be an indication of the groundwater levels at the dates and times indicated. Accordingly, the groundwater information presented herein should be used with caution. Also, fluctuations in groundwater levels should be expected with seasons of the year, construction activity, changes to surface grades, precipitation, or other similar factors.
3.4 Soil Laboratory Test Results
Selected soil samples obtained from the field investigation were tested for grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and natural moisture contents. A summary of soil laboratory test results is presented below in Table 3.4-1, and the results of natural moisture content tests are presented on the test boring logs in Appendix A.

3.5 Seismic Site Classification
Based on the results of the subsurface investigation and our knowledge of local geological conditions, the site soils have been assigned to a site class C per the 2015 International Building Code (IBC).
September 12, 2018 ■ Terracon Project No. JD185040
September 12, 2018 JD185040 Page 4
The site coefficients and adjusted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) spectral response acceleration parameters were obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website for Risk Category I/II/II and are presented below in Tables 3.5-1 and 3.5-2.

3.6 Metal Corrosion/Concrete Attack Test Results
In addition to standard geotechnical soil laboratory testing, one sample was submitted to an analytical laboratory for metal corrosion and concrete attack testing. Corrosion testing consisted of analysis for moisture content (EPA), pH (CA-643), resistivity (ASTM G187), chloride (CA-422), sulfides (EPA 376.2), and reduction-oxidation potential (Electrode). The results of these tests are presented below in Table 3.6-1:

(ohm – cm) Chloride
(ppm) Sulfides (ppm)
Redox Potential
(mV) Point Total
B-1 0-5 13 9 1000 260 <1.2 +296 13
For each test presented in Table 3.6-1, points are assigned based on the range of the test results.
If the total points from the five tests completed for a particular sample are 10 or more, the soil is considered to be corrosive. The methods described herein are based on information from the American Water Works Association (AWWA) for ductile iron pipes. Using the methods described by AWWA, the point total for the sample was 13. Accordingly, the site soils are considered corrosive, and therefore, cathodic protection (i.e. polyethylene encasement) is recommended for ductile iron pipes below grade.
The low resistivity value and chloride test results suggest the soil may also be corrosive to steel.
Therefore, corrosion protection for steel is also recommended.
A sulfate test (EPA 375.4) was performed on a selected soil sample to determine the severity of sulfate attack on concrete structures. The results of sulfate testing are presented below in Table 3.6-2.

Based on correlations between sulfate concentrations and severity of sulfate attack as presented in American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318, the above sulfate concentrations are considered to pose a negligible threat of sulfate attack on concrete.
3.7 Rock Unconfined Compressive Strength Test Results
Unconfined compressive strength tests were conducted on core specimens of the granite rock.
The results of the unconfined compressive strength tests are presented below in Table 3.7-1.

B-2 19.0-19.5 11,896
4.0 PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
Preliminary recommendations regarding pavements and earthwork are presented herein.
4.1 Pavements
Pavement subgrades are expected to consist of generally medium dense existing fill or new compacted fill. These materials are generally considered suitable for support of the planned roadways and parking areas. Where pavement subgrades consist of existing fill, we recommend budgeting for undercutting the existing fill to a depth of at least 2 feet and backfilling with new compacted fill. The decision to undercut the existing fill should be based on a thorough proofroll of the pavement subgrades under the observation of the geotechnical engineer. Pavements should be constructed to facilitate positive drainage of water to prevent ponding.
Based on the soil laboratory test results for the materials expected at pavement subgrades, a preliminary design CBR value of 5 is recommended for pavement design purposes. If fill placed at the site is generated from off-site borrow areas, the actual CBR value for the pavement subgrades may be significantly different from the preliminary value presented herein. Therefore, CBR tests should be performed on the in-place subgrade after rough grading and installation of utilities within roadways. Final pavement sections should be based on CBR tests taken on subgrade soils at the time of construction. Concrete pavements should be utilized in loading dock areas and for dumpster pads.

September 12, 2018 JD185040 Page 6
4.2 Earthwork
New fill may be required for the site improvements. Unsuitable existing fill, soft or loose natural soils, organic material, and rubble should be stripped to approved subgrades as determined by the geotechnical engineer.
Fill material should be placed in lifts not exceeding 8 inches loose thickness, with fill materials compacted by hand operated tampers or light compaction equipment placed in maximum 4-inch thick loose lifts. Fill should be compacted at +/- 2% of the optimum moisture content to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density per ASTM D1557.
Materials used for compacted fill should consist of soils classifying SC, SM, SP, SW, GC, GM, GP, or GW per ASTM D2487. The Stratum A existing fill may not be suitable for re-use as new compacted fill due to deleterious man-made materials in the fill. The existing fill encountered in borings B-1 and B-2 contained boulders and/or construction debris at depths of approximately 4 and 5 feet, respectively. Also, an obstruction was encountered at a depth of about 13 feet in test boring B-2. In addition, drying of excavated soils by spreading and aerating may be necessary to obtain proper compaction. This may not be practical during the wet period of the year. Accordingly, earthwork operations should be planned for early spring through late fall, when drier weather conditions can be expected. Individual borrow areas, both from on-site and off-site sources, should be sampled and tested to verify classification of materials prior to their use as fill.
Fill materials should not be placed on frozen or frost-heaved soils, and/or soils that have been recently subjected to precipitation. All frozen or frost-heaved soils should be removed prior to continuation of fill operations. Borrow fill materials should not contain frozen materials at the time of placement.
Compaction equipment that is compatible with the soil type used for fill should be selected.
Theoretically, any equipment type can be used as long as the required density is achieved;
however, sheepsfoot roller equipment are best suited for fine-grained soils and vibratory smooth drum rollers are best suited for granular soils. Ideally, a smooth drum roller should be used for sealing the surface soils at the end of the day or prior to upcoming rain events. In addition, compaction equipment used adjacent to walls below grade should be selected so as to not impose undesirable surcharge on walls. All areas receiving fill should be graded to facilitate positive drainage of any water associated with precipitation and surface run-off.
After completion of compacted fill operations in building areas, construction of building elements should begin immediately, or the finished subgrade should be protected from exposure to inclement weather conditions. Exposure to precipitation and freeze/thaw cycles will cause the finished subgrade to soften and become excessively disturbed. If development plans require that finished subgrades remain exposed to weather conditions after completion of fill operations, additional fill should be placed above finished grades to protect the newly placed fill.
Alternatively, a budget should be established for reworking of the upper 1 to 2 feet of previously placed compacted fill.
5.0 GENERAL LIMITATIONS
Recommendations contained in this report are based upon the data obtained from the relatively limited number of test borings. This report does not reflect conditions that may occur between the points investigated, or between sampling intervals in test borings. The nature and extent of
September 12, 2018 ■ Terracon Project No. JD185040
September 12, 2018 JD185040 Page 7 variations between test borings and sampling intervals may not become evident until the course of construction. Therefore, it is essential that on-site observations of subgrade conditions be performed during the construction period to determine if re-evaluation of the recommendations in this report must be made. It is critical to the successful completion of this project that Terracon be retained during construction to observe the implementation of the recommendations provided herein.
This report has been prepared to aid in the evaluation of the site and to assist your office and the design professionals in the design of this project. It is intended for use with regard to the specific project as described herein. Changes in proposed construction, grading plans, etc. should be brought to our attention so that we may determine any effect on the recommendations presented herein.
An allowance should be established for additional costs that may be required for foundation and earthwork construction as recommended in this report. Additional costs may be incurred for various reasons including wet fill materials, soft subgrade conditions, unexpected groundwater problems, etc.
This report should be made available to bidders prior to submitting their proposals to supply them with facts relative to the subsurface conditions revealed by our investigation and the results of analyses and studies that have been performed for this project. In addition, this report should be given to the successful contractor and subcontractors for their information only.

Subsurface Investigation Procedures
1. Test Borings – Hollow Stem Augers The borings are advanced by turning an auger with a center opening of 3-¼ inches. A plug device blocks off the center opening while augers are advanced. Cuttings are brought to the surface by the auger flights. Sampling is performed through the center opening in the hollow stem auger, by standard methods, after removal of the plug. Usually, no water is introduced into the boring using this procedure.
2. Standard Penetration Tests Standard penetration tests are performed by driving a 2-inch O.D., 1-⅜ inch I.D. sampling spoon with a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches, according to ASTM D1586. After an initial 6 inches penetration to assure the sampling spoon is in undisturbed material, the number of blows required to drive the sampler an additional 12 inches is generally taken as the N value. In the event 30 or more blows are required to drive the sampling spoon the initial 6-inch interval, the sampling spoon is driven to a total penetration resistance of 100 blows or 18 inches, whichever occurs first.
3. Rock Core Drilling Rock is core drilled using NQ size core bits set with carbide steel or diamond, depending upon the rock texture. The bit is fitted onto a double tube swivel-type core barrel in which an exterior tube and bit rotate, and an interior barrel remains stationary to receive the rock core. Water is circulated between the barrels and across the bit face to cool the core bit and to flush away cuttings.
4. Test Boring Stakeout The test boring stakeout was provided by GeoConcepts personnel using available site plans. The project civil engineer performed an as-drilled survey of the boring locations after a later date.

Test Boring Notes
1. Classification of soil is by visual inspection and is in accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System.
2. Estimated groundwater levels are indicated on the logs. These are only estimates from available data and may vary with precipitation, porosity of soil, site topography, etc.
3. Sampling data presents standard penetrations for 6-inch intervals or as indicated with graphic representations adjacent to the sampling data.
4. The energy applied to the split-spoon sampler using the automatic hammer is about 33 percent greater than the applied energy using the standard safety hammer. The hammer blows shown on the boring logs are uncorrected for the higher energy.
5. The logs and related information depict subsurface conditions at the specific locations and at the particular time when drilled. Soil conditions at other locations may differ from conditions occurring at the test locations. Also, the passage of time may result in a change in the subsurface conditions at the test locations.
6. The stratification lines represent the approximate boundary between soil types as determined in the sampling operation. Some variation may be expected vertically between samples taken.
The soil profile, groundwater level observations and penetration resistances presented on the logs have been made with reasonable care and accuracy and must be considered only an approximate representation of subsurface conditions to be encountered at the particular location.
7. Weathered rock is defined as residual earth material with a penetration resistance between 50 blows per 6 inches and refusal. Spoon refusal at the surface of rock, boulders, or obstructions is defined as a penetration resistance of 50 blows for 1-inch penetration or less.
Auger refusal is taken as the depth at which further penetration of the auger is not possible without risking significant damage to the drilling equipment.
8. Rock Quality Designation (RQD) represents the sum of cores recovered with lengths of 4 inches or longer, divided by the total length of rock core, expressed in percentage.
