RE: Soil Exploration - Proposed Tarpon Flats Site Wall
Vicinity SW of Bonita Isle Dr. & A1A, St. Lucie County, FL
GFA Project # 13-2092.03
October 14, 2014
GFA International performed soil testing with three auger borings with hand cone penetrometers at
the above referenced project. Based on the test results, the soil on which the referenced structure is
to rest is capable of sustaining a safe bearing capacity of 2,500 psf. The subsurface exploration
activities were performed in accordance with Chapter 18 of the Florida Building Code (latest addition)
and applicable ASTM standards. For detailed information on subsurface conditions encountered,
please refer to the logs attached to this letter.
We recommend that the bottom of the footings be founded at a depth of at least 12 inches below
finish grade. The depth shall be measured from the lowest adjacent grade. We also recommend a
minimum footing width of 18 inches for spread footings and 16 inches for monolithic footings, but not
less than 8 inches more than the width of the imposed wall.
This report does not state or imply that the foundation soils at the bearing level will remain in the
original condition in which they were found during the subsurface exploration activities. Exposure to
the environment may weaken the foundation soils at the bearing level if the foundation excavations
remain open for a long period of time, or if the foundation soils are exposed to rainfall. Consequently,
it is recommended that the excavations for the wall and column footings be performed to final grade
and footings constructed as soon as possible to minimize potential damage of the bearing soils. GFA
estimates that 0 — 1 foot of fill will be required to bring the foundation pad to design grade. It is also
recommended that the 2 feet below existing grade, the bottom of all new footing excavations and
slabs, and all fill material, be compacted to a minimum density of 95% of the Modified Proctor (ASTM
D-1557), prior to the placement of the concrete for the footings. Foundations and any below grade
remains of any structures that are within the footprint of the new construction should be removed so
as to not affect structures. Analysis of the foundation performance under hurricane conditions or other
storm events, including the effects of loss of soil support due to scour or other forces, is not within the
scope of this report, and the recommendations are valid only for normal conditions.
Sincerely, I��� ����

NOTES RELATED TO
RECORDS OF TEST BORING AND
GENERALIZED SUBSURFACE PROFILE
1. Groundwater level was encountered and recorded (if shown) following the completion of the soil test boring on
the date indicated. Fluctuations in groundwater levels are common; consult report text for a discussion.
2. The boring location was identified in the field by offsetting from existing reference marks and using a cloth tape
and survey wheel.
3. The borehole was backfilled to site grade following boring completion, and patched with asphalt cold patch mix
when pavement was encountered.
4. The Record of Test Boring represents our interpretation of field conditions based on engineering examination of
the soil samples.
5. The Record of Test Boring is subject to the limitations, conclusions and recommendations presented in the Report
text.
6. "Field Test Data" shown on the Record of Test Boring indicated as 11/6 refers to the Standard Penetration Test
(SPT) and means 11 hammer blows drove the sampler 6 inches. SPT uses a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches.
7. The N-value from the SPT is the sum of the hammer blows required to drive the sampler the second and third 6-
inch increments.
8. The soil/rock strata interfaces shown on the Records of Test Boring are approximate and may vary from those
shown. The soil/rock conditions shown on the Records of Test Boring refer to conditions at the specific location
tested; soil/rock conditions may vary between test locations.
9. Relative density for sands/gravels and consistency for silts/clays are described as follows:
