<br />2 <br /> <br />1.5 Documents Provided <br /> <br />We were provided a plan sheet titled “Soil Boring Comps” that was prepared by Carlson <br />McCain and dated January 22, 2025. The plan showed a layout of the development along with <br />the boring locations, elevations and boring coordinates superimposed onto a topographic <br />survey of the site. <br /> <br />We were provided with 2 versions an untitled plan sheet that showed a layout of the proposed <br />development superimposed onto a topographic map of the overall property. The proposed <br />boring locations, piezometer locations and the boring depths were shown on the plan sheets. <br />We were also provided an untitled plan sheet that showed the proposed boring locations and <br />their elevations superimposed onto a topographic survey of the overall site. These plan sheets <br />appeared to be versions of the above-described Soil Boring Comps plan. <br /> <br />Other than the plans described above, specific architectural, structural or civil documents were <br />not provided at the time of this assessment. <br /> <br />1.6 Locations and Elevations <br /> <br />The soil borings were selected by Capstone Homes and/or Carlson McCain and were staked <br />in the field in advance of our field work. The approximate locations of the soil borings are <br />shown on the soil boring plan provided. <br /> <br />Ground surface elevations at the soil boring locations were provided by Capstone homes <br />and/or Carlson McCain. <br /> <br /> <br />2.0 FIELD PROCEDURES <br /> <br />Soil Borings The standard penetration test borings were advanced on January 30th thru <br />February 3rd, 2025 by HGTS with a rotary drilling rig, using continuous flight augers to <br />advance the boreholes. Representative samples were obtained from the borings, using the <br />split-barrel sampling procedures in general accordance with ASTM Specification D-1586. In <br />the split-barrel sampling procedure, a 2-inch O.D. split-barrel spoon is driven into the ground <br />with a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the <br />sampling spoon the last 12 inches of an 18-inch penetration is recorded as the standard <br />penetration resistance value, or "N" value. The results of the standard penetration tests are <br />indicated on the boring logs. The samples were sealed in containers and provided to HGTS <br />for testing and soil classification. <br /> <br />A field log of each boring was prepared by HGTS. The logs contain visual classifications of the <br />soil materials encountered during drilling, as well as the driller's interpretation of the <br />subsurface conditions between samples and water observation notes. The final boring logs <br />included with this report represent an interpretation of the field logs and include <br />modifications based on visual/manual method observation of the samples. <br /> <br />The soil boring logs, general terminology for soil description and identification, and <br />classification of soils for engineering purposes are also included in the appendix. The soil <br />boring logs identify and describe the materials encountered, the relative density or consistency
