AET ~0-~0~-P~e5 <br /> <br />Ground water was measured in nine of the borings at the time of drilling. The water was <br />encountered at depths ranging from 0.3' at Boring//6, to 6.5' at Boring//3. The primary soils <br />encountered are moderately slow to slow draining materials. Some relatively free draining sands <br />were present within the profiles at some of the borings. It takes an extended observation period <br />to reliably establish the ground water level in the slower draining soils. Such an extended <br />observation period is beyond the scope of this work. The measured water levels or absence of <br />water levels may not be a reliable indication of the groundwater table. At some locations, <br />observation of the samples retrieved indicated water may be present at shallower depths. Notation <br />indicating the apparent depth of water based on sample appearance are noted on the boring logs. <br />It is likely perched water may at times be present within the interlayered soils at variable depths. <br /> <br />Ground water levels usually fluctuate. Fluctuations occur due to varying seasonal and yearly rainfall and snow <br />melt, as well as other factors. <br /> <br />LABORATORY TESTING <br /> <br />Water content tests and sieve analysis tests were performed on selected soil samples to aid in <br />judging engineering properties and soil classification. The results of the tests appear on the boring <br />logs, opposite the samples upon which they were performed. <br /> <br />GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> <br />The following geotechnical considerations are the basis for the recommendations presented later <br />in this report. <br /> <br /> <br />
