GEOTECHNICAL DATA REPORT

1 SCOPE

The information provided in this section encompasses the geotechnical field investigations available for this project. The investigations consist of vibracore borings and a surficial sample.

The associated boring logs and laboratory data are presented in paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6, respectively. A character of materials paragraph is included to provide a comprehensive description of the materials utilizing both recent and historical knowledge of the project area. Also included in this section are definitions of terms and boring log notes, which provide additional explanation of the boring logs and drilling techniques.

Items discussed in the character of materials paragraph may not appear explicitly on the boring logs. Based on historic knowledge of the project area, the character of materials paragraph includes items that supplement the data documented by the boring logs. When reviewing the boring logs, use all of the data on the logs, including the materials description, legend, and blow counts. When evaluating the subsurface conditions, use all of the data, including the character of materials paragraph and boring logs.

During the solicitation period, any questions that pertain to the information provided in this section should be addressed to the contract specialist identified in Block 9 of SF1442. After contract award, questions should be addressed to the appointed ACO/COR, which will coordinate with Geosystems Branch.

2 CHARACTER OF MATERIALS

2.1 THE LOCAL GEOLOGY

The Fernandina Harbor is located along the St. Mary’s River, which separates Cumberland Island to the north from Amelia Island to the south and is part of southeast Georgia and northeast Florida coastal plain. Surficial sediments composed of sands, shell, soft silts and clays are Holocene (present to 12k years Before Present (BP)) and Pleistocene (12k to 1.8 Million Years ago (Mya)) in age. These surficial sediments represent barrier island and marsh/lagoon facies of numerous shoreline complexes. Sparse Pliocene (1.8 Mya to 5.3 Mya) siliciclastics underlie these Pleistocene sediments. Extensive deposits of the Miocene (5.3 Mya to 23.8 Mya) aged Hawthorn Group lie just under most surficial sediments. The composition of the Hawthorn Group is highly variable, reflecting different depositional environments and repeated reworking of the sediment in response to sea level fluctuations on the shallow water shelf. The lithologies of the Hawthorn Group include limestone, dolomite, clay, and quartz sands with a notable quantity of phosphorite.

2.2 MATERIALS ENCOUNTERED

The materials encountered primarily consist of organic silts, silty sand, fine to medium sized quartz sand, sandy clay, and fat clay with varying amounts of sand sized to gravel sized shell and plant/ organic debris. Although not identified during any sampling or testing, some of the materials encountered consist of OH with organics and have the potential to produce noxious gas if in an anoxic environment. The materials to be removed from the maintenance areas accumulated as a result of shoaling since the previous dredging event in 2022.

3 DEFINITIONS

Definitions not explicitly indicated in the sections below are typical industry standard definitions from their respective ASTMs.

4.3 BORING LOG NOTES

Borings VB-FH18-1 and VB-FH18-2 were sampled using an Alpine style, pneumatic vertical hammer, vibracore drilling apparatus having a continuous 20-foot by 3 or 3 1/2-inch core barrel with clear plastic core liner that was advanced until a depth of 20 feet was reached or until refusal was encountered. Refusal is defined as no additional penetration of the vibracore with two minutes of additional effort applied to penetrate through the resistant layer at maximum vibration.

Surface Sample SS-FH18-1 was collected with an AMS 6”x6”x6” clam shell sampler which weighs approximately 25 pounds. The sampler was tied to nylon rope and mounted on a shipboard winch with pulley. During sampling, the clam shell was allowed to free-fall from the winch at the target location.

4.4 INSPECTION OF RECOVERED MATERIALS

The core borings for this project are not available for inspection.

4.5 BORING LOGS

Applicable boring logs are presented on the following pages.

While the Government’s borings are representative of subsurface conditions at their respective locations and vertical reaches, local variations in the characteristics of the subsurface materials of this region are to be expected. Accordingly, prospective offerors shall form their own conclusions from the examination of the recovered materials prior to submission of their offer.
