1.02 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Summary Project Description: TNARNG has in its possession an existing fuel station that was decommissioned and is currently out of service. The tanks, pumps etc. are still intact and TNARNG has awarded a project to re-commission these tanks and pumps to use a fuel storage and distribution system for re-fueling of equipment. The existing electrical infrastructure including power and controls were disconnected and removed from a building that was remodeled and cut near the future location of a pre-fabricated building. Therefore, there is currently no power to the fuel station nor a control system. The renovated structure will not power or control the fuel station and therefore a new service and control system are provided.

The project includes three add options. Option 1 includes replacing the existing emergency showers and eye wash stations with 2 new emergency stations and associated upgraded plumbing and electrical to support the replaced stations. Option 2 includes the cleaning and repainting of the existing site and systems components including stenciling. Option 3 includes the relining of the interior of the four fuel tanks.

PROJECT INFORMATION

Project Description

We understand the project will consist of constructing a new electrical control building for the Berry Field Refueling Station. The planned building is to be constructed using masonry (CMU) walls or a pre-cast concrete building will be set in place. The plan dimensions of the proposed structure are approximately 15-feet by 15-feet. At the time of this exploration, the site was clear and the surface was covered with asphalt. We have assumed that minimal cut/fill will be necessary to grade the electrical building area; however we were not provided with any grading information of the site or any finish floor elevations for the proposed building.

Design Information

Actual design loads have not been provided, so based on our experience with similar structures, we have assumed a maximum load of 0.75 kips per linear foot of wall. Once loading information becomes available, we request that it be provided to us so that we may evaluate our recommendations and provide revisions if necessary.

Purpose and Scope of Services

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the subsurface conditions at the site in order to develop recommendations for foundation design and site preparation. One soil boring was performed in the planned electrical building area. During the drilling the materials encountered consisted of medium consistency clays with varying amounts of sand.

The borings were advanced utilizing hollow-stem auger (HSA) drilling methods. Disturbed samples of the soils were obtained employing split-barrel sampling procedures and an automatic hammer in general accordance with the procedures for “Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils” (ASTM D1586). All samples were identified according to project number, boring number and depth, and were placed in polyethylene plastic wrapping to protect against moisture loss.

SITE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

Site Description and Local Geology

At the time of this exploration, the area of Berry Field explored was between the buildings and fenced in vehicle storage facility. The location of the proposed building is currently covered with approximately 4-inches of asphalt. The site is relatively level and the existing utilities (data and electric) are inside the proposed footprint of the electrical building.

Published geologic information indicates that the site is underlain by the Ordovician-aged Bigby- Cannon Limestone Formation. The Bigby-Cannon formation typically consists of medium to light gray, coarse-grained, medium-bedded limestone with occasional shale partings and brown phosphate pellets. The limestone weathers to produce brownish silty clay soils, and the soil/rock interface can be highly irregular due to soil-filled slots extending deep into the rock mass and rock pinnacles protruding into the soil overburden layer.

The project site is located in a region that is underlain by soluble limestone bedrock. Although our site reconnaissance and exploration did not provide evidence of sinkholes or any karst activity, limestone bedrock solutions and cavities may form when exposed to groundwater that has become slightly acidic due to contact with organic soils. The weathering process is most active along pre-existing weaknesses within the limestone bedrock, such as bedding planes and enlarged, vertical joints that typically transect the bedrock surface in crisscrossing patterns.

GM&C Project No. GNAS150007 Page 2 of 5

Any construction project within this geologic setting must recognize that undetected cavities could exist within the subsurface. For instance, it has been our experience that undetected sinkholes are more likely to appear during construction activities once site drainage has been altered. Karst related activities are capable of causing ground subsidence and settlement of earth supported structures. If such indications are observed or suspected, the geotechnical engineer should be notified and subsurface exploration may be recommended for the suspect area. Any incipient sinkhole identified within the construction area will require remedial treatment in accordance with the geotechnical engineer’s recommendations based upon an inspection of the conditions on-site.

Subsurface Conditions

The subsurface conditions were explored by performing one soil boring (B-1) within the footprint of the proposed electrical building. The building was drilled to the auger refusal depth of 24.5 on December 1, 2015.

The boring encountered approximately 4-inches of asphalt and 8-inches of mineral aggregate base stone at the ground surface. Boring B-1 then encountered a layer of very stiff, possible fill material, lean CLAY (Unified Soil Classification System Symbol CL) to a depth of 2.5 feet. Standard Penetration Testing was performed and the SPT N-value for this layer was 33 blows per foot. Medium lean CLAY (CL) with varying amounts of sand and silt and SILTY CLAY (ML-CL) were then encountered to a depth of 19.5 feet. SPT N-values for these materials ranged from 5 to 7 blows per foot. At a depth of 19.5 feet the boring encountered very wet CLAY (CL and CH) to the auger refusal depth of 24.5 feet.

SPT N-value for these materials was 7 blows per foot. Limestone bedrock was encountered at the auger refusal depth of 24.5 feet. Auger refusal was likely on limestone bedrock.

The above subsurface description is of a generalized nature, provided to highlight the major soil strata encountered. The stratifications shown on the boring records represent the conditions only at the actual boring locations. Variations may occur and should be expected across the site. The stratifications represent the approximate boundary between subsurface materials and the transition may be gradual.

Laboratory Testing

Laboratory testing included visual classification of all samples and index tests performed on selected samples. The index tests included natural moisture content, Atterberg limits, and percent passing the number 200 sieve. All laboratory testing was performed in general accordance with ASTM procedures. A summary of the laboratory results is included in the appendix.

Groundwater

Groundwater was encountered in boring B-1 at a depth of approximately 23-feet at the time of drilling and the boring was backfilled with soil cuttings upon completion, so no delayed groundwater readings were taken. Fluctuation in the water table should be expected with variations in precipitation, surface run-off, evaporation, and other factors. Groundwater will not likely hinder shallow soil excavations; however, seepage will likely occur where sands are located above lower permeability soils and where fill materials are encountered.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Site Preparation

An area beneath the building pad and 5 beyond the foundation perimeter should be considered a “controlled area”. Initially, the site preparation in the controlled area should include the removal of the asphalt and all underground utilities. If the underground utilities are to remain in place, the owner will need to accept some additional risk of differential settlement of the building or cracking of the building slab. Below are two options depending upon the depth of the existing utilities to help reduce the possibility for the differential settlement and slab cracking.

Option 1

If the existing utilities are buried at a depth greater than 12-inches below the planned foundation bearing or bottom elevation of the slab, the utility trench backfill materials should be excavated to have a minimum of 12-inches of stone beneath the trench fill material or the utility lines and the bottom of concrete. The 12-inches of stone should consist of 6-inches of an open graded stone such as a No. 57 stone and 6-inches of compacted dense graded aggregate (DGA). See the illustration shown below.

Option 2

If the existing utilities are buried a depth less than 12-inches below the planned foundation bearing or bottom of concrete elevation of the slab, the utility trench fill materials should be removed and replaced with additional concrete. The concrete placed to encapsulate the utilities up to the planned foundation bearing or bottom of concrete elevation may be placed as CLSM (Controlled Low Strength Material) or lean concrete up to the planned foundation bearing or bottom of concrete elevation.

GM&C Project No. GNAS150007 Page 4 of 5

Positive surface drainage should be maintained in this area to promote runoff of any surface water.

Fill required to bring the site to grade should meet the criteria outlined in the Compacted Fill section of this report.

Foundations

The soil conditions encountered at the site are fairly consistent from the ground surface to the auger refusal depth of 24.5 feet. We recommend that the building be supported by a monolithic thickened slab. The monolithic thickened slab should be designed for a maximum bearing pressure of 1,500 pounds per square foot. GMC was not provided with grading or a finish floor elevation for the proposed building, however the thickened edges around the perimeter of the building should bear at a minimum of 12-inches below the finish grade elevation and be supported by a minimum of 6-inches of compacted dense graded aggregate (DGA). The slab portion of the monolithic slab should be a minimum of 6-inches thick and be supported by a minimum of 6-inches of compacted dense graded aggregate. The dense graded aggregate (DGA) stone should be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Compacted Fill section of this report.

The geotechnical engineer or his representative should observe all foundation excavations. The engineer can provide geotechnical guidance to the owner’s design team should any unforeseen foundation problems develop during construction. If any areas of foundation surfaces prove to be unsuitable, the foundation should be over-excavated. The over-excavated area should be backfilled with a CLSM (Controlled Low Strength Material) or lean concrete to the planned foundation bearing depth.

Foundation concrete should be placed the same day footings are excavated or as soon as possible so that the foundation bearing soils can remain near the existing moisture content. Foundation bearing surfaces should not be disturbed or left exposed during inclement weather. Saturation of the on-site soils can cause a loss of strength and increased compressibility. Excavations for footings should be hand cleaned to remove any loose soil or mud from the foundation bearing surface. If concreting is not possible immediately after excavation, we recommend that a thin layer (approximately 2 inches) of lean concrete or flowable fill be placed on the bearing surface for protection after we have observed and evaluated the exposed bearing surfaces.

We recommend that the bearing material in the bottoms of footing or mat excavations be thoroughly compacted with a “jumping jack-type” compactor prior to concrete placement.

Compacted Fill

Soil fill should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches in thickness. The soil fill should be compacted to a minimum of 98 percent of the soil’s standard Proctor maximum dry density (per ASTM D-698). The moisture content at the time of placement and compaction should be within 3 percentage points of the soil’s optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D-698.

Structural fill is defined as inorganic natural soils with a maximum particle size of 3 inches or less, and a maximum dry density of at least 100 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) when tested by the standard Proctor method (ASTM D-698). Also, the material should have a liquid limit of less than 50, and a plasticity index of less than 25. Prior to construction, testing of proposed fill materials would be needed to confirm compliance with the above criteria, and to assess the soil compaction characteristics. Fill placement should be monitored and tested during construction by experienced engineering technicians. Field density tests should be conducted as required to document compaction requirements with a minimum of three tests conducted for every lift of fill placed. Any area failing to achieve the required compaction should be re-compacted and retested.

LIMITATIONS OF REPORT

The preliminary recommendations submitted are based on the available soil information obtained by GM&C and the general concept of what is planned for the site. Once plans for the site are developed, they should be reviewed and the need for additional geotechnical exploration, laboratory tests, and analyses determined. If deviations from the subsurface conditions noted in this report are encountered during construction, we should be notified immediately to determine if changes in the foundation, or other, recommendations are required. If GM&C is not retained to perform these functions, GM&C cannot be responsible for the impact of those conditions on the performance of the project.

FIELD TEST PROCEDURES

General

The general field procedures employed by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc. (GM&C), are summarized in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard D420 which is entitled "Investigating and Sampling Soil and Rock". This recommended practice lists recognized methods for determining soil and rock distribution and groundwater conditions. These methods include geophysical and in-situ methods as well as borings.

The detailed collection methods used during this exploration are presented in the following paragraphs.

Standard Drilling Techniques

General: To obtain subsurface samples, borings are drilled using one of several alternate techniques depending upon the subsurface conditions. These techniques are:

In Soils:

a) Continuous hollow stem augers.

b) Rotary borings using roller cone bits or drag bits, and water or drilling mud to flush the hole.

c) "Hand" augers.

In Rock:

a) Core drilling with diamond-faced, double or triple tube core barrels.

b) Core boring with roller cone bits.

Hollow Stem Auger: A hollow stem augers consists of a hollow steel tube with a continuous exterior spiral flange termed a flight. The auger is turned into the ground, returning the cuttings along the flights. The hollow center permits a variety of sampling and testing tools to be used without removing the auger.

Rotary Borings: Rotary drilling involves the use of roller cone or drag type drill bits attached to the end of drill rods. A flushing medium, normally water or bentonite slurry, is pumped through the rods to clear the cuttings from the bit face and flush them to the surface. Casing is sometimes set behind the advancing bit to prevent the hole from collapsing and to restrict the penetration of the drilling fluid into the surrounding soils. Cuttings returned to the surface by the drilling fluid are typically collected in a settling tank, to allow the fluid to be recirculated.

Hand Auger Boring: Hand auger borings are advanced by manually twisting a 4” diameter steel bucket auger into the ground and withdrawing it when filled to observe the sample collected. Post hole diggers are sometimes used in lieu of augers to obtain shallow soil samples. Occasionally these hand auger borings are used for driving 3 inch diameter steel tubes to obtain intact soil samples.

Core Drilling: Soil drilling methods are not normally capable of penetrating through hard cemeted soil, weathered rock, coarse gravel or boulders, thin rock seams, or the upper surface of sound, continuous rock.

Material that cannot be penetrated by auger or rotary soil-drilling methods at a reasonable rate is designated as “refusal material”. Core drilling procedures are required to penetrate and sample refusal materials.

Prior to coring, casing may be set in the drilled hole through the overburden soils, to keep the hole from caving and to prevent excessive water loss. The refusal materials are then cored according to ASTM D2113 using a diamond studded bit fastened to the end of a hollow, double or triple tube core barrel. This device is rotated at high speeds, and the cuttings are brought to the surface by circulating water. Core samples of the material penetrated are protected and retained in the swivel-mounted inner tube. Upon completion of each drill run, the core barrel is brought to the surface, the core recovery is measured, and the core is placed, in sequence, in boxes for storage and transported to our laboratory.

Sampling and Testing in Boreholes

General: Several techniques are used to obtain samples and data in soils; however the most common methods in this area are:

a) Standard Penetrating Testing

b) Water Level Readings

These procedures are presented below. Any additional testing techniques employed during this exploration are contained in other sections of the Appendix.

Standard Penetration Testing: At regular intervals, the drilling tools are removed and soil samples obtained with a standard 2 inch diameter split tube sampler connected to an A or N-size rod. The sampler is first seated 6 inches to penetrate any loose cuttings, and then driven an additional 12 inches with blows of a 140 pound safety hammer falling 30 inches. Generally, the number of hammer blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches is designated the "penetration resistance" or "N" value, in blows per foot (bpf). The split barrel sampler is designed to retain the soil penetrated, so that it may be returned to the surface for observation.

Representative portions of the soil samples obtained from each split barrel sample are placed in jars, sealed and transported to our laboratory.

The standard penetration test, when properly evaluated, provides an indication of the soil strength and compressibility. The tests are conducted according to ASTM Standard D1586. The depths and N-values of standard penetration tests are shown on the Boring Records. Split barrel samples are suitable for visual observation and classification tests but are not sufficiently intact for quantitative laboratory testing.

Water Level Readings: Water table readings are normally taken in the borings and are recorded on the Boring Records. In sandy soils, these readings indicate the approximate location of the hydrostatic water table at the time of our field exploration. In clayey soils, the rate of water seepage into the borings is low and it is generally not possible to establish the location of the hydrostatic water table through short term water level readings.

Also, fluctuation in the water table should be expected with variations in precipitation, surface run-off, evaporation, and other factors. For long-term monitoring of water levels, it is necessary to install piezometers.

The water levels reported on the Boring Records are determined by field crews immediately after the drilling tools are removed, and several hours after the borings are completed, if possible. The time lag is intended to permit stabilization of the groundwater table which may have been disrupted by the drilling operation.

Occasionally the borings will cave-in, preventing water level readings from being obtained or trapping drilling water above the cave-in zone. The cave-in depth is measured and recorded on the Boring Records.

Boring Records

The subsurface conditions encountered during drilling are reported on a field boring record prepared by the Driller. The record contains information concerning the boring method, samples attempted and recovered, indications of the presence of coarse gravel, cobbles, etc., and observations of ground water. It also contains the driller's interpretation of the soil conditions between samples. Therefore, these boring records contain both factual and interpretive information. The field boring records are kept on file in our office.

After the drilling is completed, a geotechnical professional classifies the soil samples and prepares the final Boring Records which are the basis for all evaluations and recommendations. The following terms are taken from ASTM D2487 or Deere's Technical Description of Rock Cores for Engineering Purposes, Rock Mechanical Engineering Geology 1, pp. 18-22.

LABORATORY TESTING

GENERAL

The laboratory testing procedures employed by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc. (GM&C) are in general accordance with ASTM standard methods and other applicable specifications. Several test methods, described together with others in this Appendix, were used during the course of this exploration.

SOIL CLASSIFICATION

Soil classifications provide a general guide to the engineering properties of various soil types and enable the engineer to apply his past experience to current problems. In our investigations, samples obtained during drilling operations are examined in our laboratory and visually classified by an engineer. The soils are classified according to consistency (based on number of blows from standard penetration tests), color and texture. These classification descriptions are included on our "Boring Records".

The classification system discussed above is primarily qualitative and for detailed soil classification two laboratory tests are necessary; grain size tests and plasticity tests. Using these test results the soil can be classified according to the AASHTO or Unified Classification Systems (ASTM D-2487). Each of these classification systems and the in-place physical soil properties provides an index for estimating the soil's behavior. The soil classification and physical properties obtained are presented in this report.

POCKET PENETROMETER TEST

A pocket penetrometer test is performed by pressing the tip of a small, spring-loaded penetrometer with even pressure to a prescribed depth into a soil sample. This test yields a value for unconfined compressive strength which may be correlated with unconfined compressive strengths obtained by other laboratory methods.

MOISTURE CONTENT

Moisture contents are determined from representative portions of the specimen. The soil is dried to a constant weight in an oven at 100o C and the loss of moisture during the drying process is measured. From this data, the moisture content is computed.

ATTERBERG LIMITS

Liquid Limit (LL), Plastic Limit (PL) and Shrinkage Limit (SL) tests are performed to aid in the classification of soils and to determine the plasticity and volume change characteristics of the materials. The Liquid Limit is the minimum moisture content at which a soil will flow as a heavy viscous fluid. The Plastic Limit is the minimum moisture content at which the soil behaves as a plastic material. The Shrinkage Limit is the moisture content below which o further volume change will take place with continued drying. The Plasticity Index (PI) is the numeric difference of Liquid Limit and Plastic Limit and indicates the range of moisture content over which a soil remains plastic. These tests are performed in accordance with ASTM D-4318, D-4943 and D-427.
