Mr. Matthes:

File No. 21-5487
As requested and authorized, we have completed a subsurface exploration and geotechnical
engineering evaluation for the subject project. Ardaman completed a subsurface exploration for an
earlier phase of this expansion project (please refer to Ardaman File No. 19-5422, dated March 5,
2019) for additional details. The purposes of performing this exploration were to evaluate the general
subsurface conditions in the vicinity of a new (Phase 2) warehouse building expansion and provide
our recommendations for site preparation and foundation and pavement design based on the
encountered soil conditions. This report documents our findings and presents our engineering
recommendations.
SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 3901 St. Lucie Boulevard in unincorporated Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County,
Florida (Section 32, Township 34 South, Range 40 East). The general site location is shown
superimposed on the Fort Pierce, Florida USGS quadrangle map presented as our attached Figure 1:
Site Vicinity Map. The area for the proposed construction is currently undeveloped and sparsely to
densely wooded.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND GRADING
Based on review of a conceptual site plan that was provided to us by Culpepper & Terpening, Inc., it
is our understanding that this Phase 2 expansion project includes the construction of a 1-story (+/-
94,640 square foot) warehouse building along with the associated parking/drive areas. For the
recommendations provided in this report, construction was expected to consist of load -bearing
masonry walls and interior columns with slab -on -grade floors. The maximum loads were anticipated
to be less than 7 kips per linear foot for walls and less than 80 kips for individual columns. Grading
plans were not complete at the time this report was prepared, so a maximum of 3 feet of fill was
anticipated to bring the current site grades to finished design grade.
If any of this information is incorrect or anticipated to change, we should be notified immediately and
allowed time to review the changes and make corrections to this report as needed.

REVIEW OF SOIL SURVEY MAPS
-2-
Our review of The Soil Survey of St. Lucie County, Florida, which was issued by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service in 1980, indicates the predominant surficial soil type in the
immediate vicinity of this phase of the project is Lawnwood sand. A brief description of this soil type,
as taken from the Soil Survey, is presented below.
According to the USDA Soil Survey, Lawnwood sand is poorly drained, nearly level soil found on broad
flatwoods. Slopes are smooth to concave and range from 0 to 2 percent. Typically, the surface layer
is about 8 inches thick. It is black sand in the upper 4 inches and very dark gray sand in the lower 4
inches. The subsurface layer is 21 inches thick. It is gray sand in the upper 7 inches and light gray
sand in the lower 13 inches. The subsoil extends to a depth of 58 inches. The upper 24 inches is
black, weakly cemented sand and the lower 6 inches is dark reddish brown sand. The substratum,
to a depth of 80 inches, is pale olive sand that has a few large scattered pockets of loamy sand. The
water table is at a depth of less than 10 inches for 2 to 4 months and at a depth of 10 to 40 inches for
6 months or more during most years. It is perched above the subsoil during the rainy period early in
summer. In dry seasons, the water table recedes to a depth of 40 inches or more.
FIELD EXPLORATION PROGRAM
The field exploration program included performing four (4) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings
(B-1 through B-4 on Figure 2) in the vicinity of the new warehouse building and five (5) auger borings
(AB-1 through AB-5) around an existing stormwater/retention pond area. The approximate locations
of the borings are shown on our attached Figure 2: Boring Location Plan.
The SPT borings were advanced to depths of 35 feet below the existing grades and were performed
in general accordance with ASTM D-1586 using a truck -mounted drill rig. The auger borings were
advanced to depths between about 6 to 6.5 feet below the existing grades and were performed in
general accordance with ASTM D-1452 using hand operated drilling equipment. Upon completion of
the borings they were backfilled with the soil cuttings. Descriptions of the field procedures and the
boring logs are included in the Appendices of this report.
Our field exploration for this project was completed from July 22 to August 7, 2021. The borings were
performed in accessible field locations based on estimated distances from distinguishable landmarks.
We estimate that the actual boring locations are within 25 feet of those shown on our attached Figure
2.
In order to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the upper soils, one (1) field permeability test was
performed at the approximate location shown on Figure 2. The test was conducted in general
accordance with the usual open -hole exfiltration test method described in the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) Permit Information Manual, Volume IV. Descriptions of the soils
observed in the test borehole and the test results are presented in the attached field permeability test
log. In brief, the exfiltration test yielded a hydraulic conductivity value of 3.65 x 10-4 cfs/sqf - ft head.
Please note that construction operations (filling, compacting, etc.) can adversely affect the hydraulic
conductivity values and appropriate safety factors should be considered in the designs.
LABORATORY TESTING
Our drillers examined the soils recovered from the borings, placed representative samples in moisture
proof containers, and maintained a log for each location. The field logs and recovered soil samples
were transported to our laboratory from the project site. Each description was examined by a
Geotechnical Engineer and visually classified using nomenclature consistent with the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS). The soil classifications and other pertinent data obtained from our
explorations and laboratory examinations are reported on the boring logs. The soil samples recovered
from our explorations will be kept in our laboratory for 60 days, then discarded unless you request
otherwise.

GENERAL SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
General Soil Profile
-3-
The attached boring logs present a detailed description of the soils encountered throughout the
explored depths. The stratifications shown on the boring logs are based on an examination of the
recovered soil samples and interpretation of drilling field logs. They indicate only the approximate
boundaries between soil types. The actual transitions may be more gradual and indistinct.
The soils encountered across this site ranged from fine sand [SP] to fine sands with varying amounts
of silt, clay, shell and cemented sand/limestone fragments [SP-SM, SIP -SC, SC]. The soils in the SPT
borings consisted generally of very loose to loose fine sands with varying amounts of roots to depths
of about 2 to 3 feet, followed by loose to medium dense fine sand with varying amounts of silt, clay,
roots and random pockets of very loose fine sand and discontinuous layers/pockets of slightly organic,
loosely cemented ("hardpan" type soils) to depths of about 28 to 33 feet. Medium dense to dense fine
sands with varying amounts of silt, shell and cemented sand/limestone fragments were then
encountered to the termination depth of our deepest borings at 35 feet below the existing grades.
Please refer to the attached boring logs for a more detailed description of the soils encountered in
each boring location.
Groundwater Level
The groundwater level was measured in the boreholes on the day drilled. As shown on Figures 3
through 6, groundwater was encountered in the SPT and auger borings at approximate depths ranging
from 3.5 to 6 feet below the existing ground surface on the date indicated. Fluctuations in groundwater
levels should be anticipated throughout the year primarily due to seasonal variations in rainfall and
other factors that may vary from the time the borings were conducted.
The groundwater level at each boring location was recorded upon initial encounter. In addition, four
(4) piezometers were installed around an existing stormwater/retention pond area. The groundwater
level readings were recorded at scheduled times and the results will be presented in a letter report
when the readings are completed.
NORMAL SEASONAL HIGH GROUNDWATER LEVEL
The normal seasonal high groundwater level each year is the level in the August -September period at
the end of the rainy season during a year of normal (average) rainfall. The water table elevations
associated with a higher than normal rainfall and in the extreme case, flood, would be higher to much
higher than the normal seasonal high groundwater level. The normal high water levels would more
approximate the normal seasonal high groundwater levels.
The seasonal high groundwater level is affected by a number of factors. The drainage characteristics
of the soils, the land surface elevation, relief points such as drainage ditches, lakes, rivers, swamp
areas, etc., and distance to relief points are some of the more important factors influencing the
seasonal high groundwater level.
Based on our interpretation of the site conditions using the soil borings and the Soil Survey, we
preliminarily estimate the normal seasonal high groundwater level at the boring locations to be
approximately 21/2 to 3 feet above the groundwater level measured in the boreholes at the time of our
field exploration. It should be noted that the groundwater table across this site may temporarily "perch"
at higher levels atop the shallow hardpan -type soils and/or loamy sands (sands with varying amounts
of silt and clay) following periods of prolonged or heavy rainfall and during the wet season.

ENGINEERING EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
The results of our exploration and analysis indicate that, with proper site preparation as recommended
in this report, the existing soils are suitable for supporting the proposed warehouse building on a
conventional shallow foundation system. Spread footings should provide an adequate support system
for the structure. The soil borings typically encountered suitable soils at the locations and depths
explored.
The following are our recommendations for overall site preparation and foundation support which we
feel are best suited for the proposed building and existing soil conditions. The recommendations are
made as a guide for the design engineer and/or architect, parts of which should be incorporated into
the project's specifications.
Stripping and Grubbing
The "footprint" of the proposed building and pavement areas, plus a minimum margin of five feet,
should be stripped of all surface vegetation, stumps, debris, organic topsoil or other deleterious
materials, as encountered. Buried utilities (if any) should be removed or properly abandoned to
eliminate conduits into which surrounding soils could erode.
After stripping, the site should be grubbed or root -raked such that roots with a diameter greater than
1-inch, stumps, root mats (small roots in a dense state) are completely removed. The actual depth(s)
of stripping and grubbing must be determined by visual observation and judgment during the earthwork
operation.
Proof -rolling
We recommend proof -rolling the cleared surface to locate any unforeseen soft areas or unsuitable
surface or near -surface soils, to increase the density of the upper soils, and to prepare the existing
surface for the addition of the fill soils (as required). Proof -rolling of the building and pavement areas
should consist of at least 10 passes of a compactor capable of achieving the density requirements
described in the next paragraph. Each pass should overlap the preceding pass by 30 percent to
achieve complete coverage. If deemed necessary, in areas that continue to "yield", remove all
deleterious material and replace with clean, compacted sand backfill. The proof -rolling should occur
after cutting and before filling.
A density equivalent to or greater than 95 percent of the modified Proctor (ASTM D-1557) maximum
dry density value for a depth of 1 foot must be achieved beneath the stripped and grubbed ground
surface. Additional passes and/or over -excavation and recompaction may be required if these
minimum density requirements are not achieved. The soil moisture should be adjusted as necessary
during compaction.
Proof -rolling may cause upward movement or "pumping" of the groundwater. However, we
recommend that the existing surface be level and firm prior to the addition of fill soils. Proof -rolling with
a front-end loader may help achieve the desired surface and compaction condition before adding the
fill soils. The site should be dewatered as necessary. Depending on the time of year, a 12- to 18-inch
layer of clean fine sand (SP) fill may be required prior to proof -rolling.
Care should be exercised to avoid damaging any neighboring structures while the compaction
operation is underway. Prior to commencing compaction, occupants of adjacent structures should be
notified and the existing condition (i.e. cracks) of the structures documented with photographs and
survey (if deemed necessary). Compaction should cease if deemed detrimental to adjacent structures,
and Ardaman & Associates should be notified immediately.

File No. 21-5487
Offsite Vibrations
-5-
We strongly recommend that the site preparation contractor closely monitor the vibrations produced
during the compaction operations to ensure that they do not adversely affect any nearby structures.
Should there be concern about vibration levels produced by the compaction operations, a seismograph
with a suitable indicator range may be arranged on the site while this work is undertaken. We would
also recommend that any structures in close proximity to the site be photographed to document any
existing cracks/defects prior to the start of the work. We remain available to assist you in this regard.
Suitable Fill Material and the Compaction of Fill Soils
All fill soil should be free of organic materials, such as roots and vegetation. We recommend using fill
with less than 12 percent by dry weight of material passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 sieve size. Soils
with more than 12 percent passing the No. 200 sieve can be used in some applications, but will be
more difficult to compact due to their inherent nature to retain soil moisture.
All structural fill should be placed in level lifts not to exceed 12 inches in uncompacted thickness. Each
lift should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor (ASTM D-1557) maximum dry
density value. The filling and compaction operations should continue in lifts until the desired
elevation(s) is achieved. If hand-held compaction equipment is used, the lift thickness should be
reduced to no more than 6 inches.
Foundation Support by Spread Footings and Foundation Compaction Criteria
Excavate the foundations to the proposed bottom of footing elevations and, thereafter, verify the in -
place compaction for a depth of 1 foot below the footing bottoms. If necessary, compact the soils at
the bottom of the excavations to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density
(ASTM D-1557) for a depth of 1 foot below the footing bottoms. Based on the existing soil conditions
and, assuming the above outlined proof -rolling and compaction criteria are implemented, an allowable
soil bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf) may be used in the foundation design.
This bearing pressure should result in foundation settlement within tolerable limits (i.e., 1 inch or less).
All bearing wall foundations should be a minimum of 24 inches wide and column foundations 36 inches
wide. A minimum soil cover of 18 inches should be maintained from the bottom of the foundations to
the adjacent finished grades.
Floor Slab Moisture Reducer and Slab Compaction Requirements
Compaction beneath all floor slabs should be verified for a depth of 12 inches and meet the 98 percent
criteria (modified Proctor, ASTM D-1557).
Precautions should be taken during the slab construction to reduce moisture entry from the underlying
subgrade soils. Moisture entry can be reduced by installing a membrane between the subgrade soils
and floor slab. Care should be exercised when placing the reinforcing steel (or mesh) and slab
concrete such that the membrane is not punctured. We note that the membrane alone does not
prevent moisture from occurring beneath or on top of the slab.
If interior columns are isolated from the floor slab, an expansion joint should be provided around the
columns and sealed with a water -proof sealant. We note that the site has a relatively high groundwater
table level which needs to be considered if any recessed slabs or sump pits (i.e., loading docks, etc.)
are being planned for the site.
Dewatering
Based on the groundwater conditions, the control of the groundwater is not anticipated to significantly
affect the planned construction. Some limited dewatering may be required in deeper excavations that
will extend below the depth at which groundwater is expected or if construction proceeds during the
Pursuit Boats Facility Expansion — Phase 2 - 6 _
File No. 21-5487
rainy season or the site is negatively impacted by the relatively shallow layers of "hardpan" type soils
or the loamy sands outlined earlier that could cause a temporarily higher "perched" or "ponded"
groundwater condition. We recommend the contract documents include determining the depth to
groundwater prior to the start of construction to aid in any dewatering plans. The actual method(s) of
dewatering (if needed) should be determined by the contractor. However, regardless of the
method(s) used, we suggest drawing down the water table down at least 2 feet below the bottom of
any excavation or compaction surface to preclude "pumping" and other compaction -related problems.
It is important that the types of soil at and around the excavated subgrade level be considered carefully.
Soils containing excess "fines" (e.g. silty and clayey soils) can retain moisture, making earthwork
operations difficult. It may be necessary to consider importing clean, free draining sands to facilitate
the backfill and compaction operations.
PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
No traffic patterns or pavement design information was provided. Pavements will need to be designed
according to all applicable minimal design standards and to their anticipated traffic loading conditions.
Thicker sections and/or rigid pavements should be considered in more heavily loaded areas and/or
around dumpster pad locations.
All areas to be paved should be prepared as previously outlined. Prior to stabilized subgrade and
pavement base installation, the subgrade soil compaction should be verified for a depth of 12 inches
(i.e., compacted to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor (ASTM D-1557, AASHTO T-180)
maximum dry density value).
Flexible (Asphalt) Pavement Section
We recommend a pavement section consisting of an asphaltic concrete wearing surface, resting on a
calcareous base course, supported on a stabilized subgrade course. The periodic saturation of a
limerock/coquina base material could lead to premature pavement distress. A minimum clearance of
18 inches should be maintained between the bottom of the limerock/coquina base and the seasonal
high groundwater table.
The pavements must consider all applicable minimum design standards. Our typical 3-layer pavement
designs include a stabilized subgrade course 12 inches thick. It should have a Limerock Bearing Ratio
[LBR] (FDOT FM F-515) value greater than 40 and should be compacted to a minimum dry density of
98 percent of its Modified Proctor maximum dry density value. The stabilized subgrade may be
replaced by a thicker base course or eliminated (pending regulations of the governing municipal or
county authorities), if the Civil Engineer determines that the anticipated traffic loads do not warrant it.
The base course may be either crushed limerock or crushed concrete with an LBR value in excess of
100 and conforming to the gradation and other criteria specified in the FDOT Standard Specifications
for Road and Bridge Construction. It should have a minimum thickness of 8 inches, and should be
placed in two lifts, individually compacted to a minimum dry density of 98 percent of its Modified Proctor
maximum dry density value.
We recommend a minimum of 1.5-inch thick FDOT Type S-1 or SP-9.5 asphaltic wearing surface.
Care must be exercised to place the asphalt over dry, well primed base material. The asphalt can be
placed in two layers, with the second layer placed after all site construction is completed.
Heavy -Duty Pavement
The base course may be either crushed limerock or crushed concrete with an LBR value in excess of
100 and conforming to the gradation and other criteria specified in the FDOT Standard Specifications
for Road and Bridge Construction. It should have a minimum thickness of 10 inches, and should be
placed in two lifts, individually compacted to a minimum dry density of 98 percent of its Modified Proctor
maximum dry density value.
Pursuit Boats Facility Expansion — Phase 2
File No. 21-5487
Heavy-duty traffic areas should consider a minimum 2-inch thick FDOT Type S-1 or SP-12.5 asphaltic
wearing surface. Care must be exercised to place the asphalt over dry, well primed base material. The
asphalt can be placed in two layers, with the second layer placed after all site construction is
completed.
Rigid (Concrete) Pavement
We recommend a minimum of a 5-inch thick pavement section of unreinforced Portland cement
concrete in dumpster pad and other areas subject to slow moving areas subject to turning. In heavy
duty areas (truck loading docks, forklift travel areas, etc.) consideration should be given to increasing
the minimum thickness to 7 inches. We recommend concrete pavements be supported on a 4-inch
thick stabilized subgrade course resting on well -compacted subgrade. In our experience, concrete
placed directly on clean sands tends to punch into the sands when wheel loads are imposed near the
control joints, causing the development of cracking possibly because the upper most sands tend to be
fluffed by the traffic of humans before and during the pour.
The stabilized subgrade should have an LBR value greater than 40 and should be compacted to a
minimum dry density of 98 percent of its Modified Proctor maximum dry density value. The concrete
should have a minimum 28-day compressive strength of 4,000 psi. Construction control joints should
be placed no more than 15 feet apart in either direction and should be at least one -quarter of the
thickness of the concrete. They should be cut as soon as the concrete will support the crew and
equipment (8 to 12 hours). The concrete should be cured by moist curing or by application of a liquid
curing compound.
Curbing
The curbing around landscaped areas adjacent to pavement should be constructed with full -depth
sections. Use of extruded curb sections that lie directly above the final asphalt surface, or omission of
the curbing, can allow migration of irrigation water or surficial runoff from the landscaped areas. The
excess water often causes separation of the asphalt wearing surface from the base and softening of
the base material, resulting in early deterioration of the pavement. Landscaped areas should be
provided with adequate drainage of irrigation water.
DUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL
We recommend establishing a comprehensive quality assurance program to verify that all site
preparation and foundation and pavement construction is conducted in accordance with the
appropriate plans and specifications. Materials testing and inspection services should be provided
by Ardaman & Associates, Inc.
At a minimum, an on -site engineering technician should monitor all stripping and grubbing to verify
that all deleterious materials have been removed and should observe the proof -rolling operation to
verify that the appropriate numbers of passes are applied to the subgrade. In -situ density tests should
be conducted during filling activities and below all footings, floor slabs and pavement areas to verify
that the required densities have been achieved. In -situ density values should be compared to
laboratory Proctor moisture -density results for each of the different natural and fill soils encountered.
Additionally for the pavements, Limerock Bearing Ratio tests should be performed. The stabilized
subgrade and base courses should be tested for density and thickness. Samples of the asphaltic
concrete should be obtained and tested in the laboratory for asphalt content and aggregate gradation.
Also, the asphaltic concrete thickness should be verified in the field.
Finally, we recommend inspecting and testing the construction materials for the foundations and other
structural components.
Pursuit Boats Facility Expansion — Phase 2 _ 8 -
File No. 21-5487
In -Place Density Testing Frequency
In Southeast Florida, earthwork testing is typically performed on an on -call basis when the contractor
has completed a portion of the work. The test result from a specific location is only representative of
a larger area if the contractor has used consistent means and methods and the soils are practically
uniform throughout. The frequency of testing can be increased and full-time construction inspection
can be provided to account for variations. We recommend that the following minimum testing
frequencies be utilized.
In proposed parking/drive areas, a minimum frequency of one in -place density test for each 2,500
square feet of area should be used (minimum of five test locations). The existing, natural ground
should be tested to a depth of 12 inches at the prescribed frequency. Each 12-inch lift of fill, as well
as the stabilized subgrade (where applicable) and base should be tested at this frequency.
Utility backfill should be tested at a minimum frequency of one in -place density test for each 12-inch
lift for each 200 lineal feet of pipe. Additional tests should be performed in backfill for manholes,
inlets, etc.
In proposed structural areas, the minimum frequency of in -place density testing should be one test for
each 2,500 square feet of structural area (minimum of five test locations). In -place density testing
should be performed at this minimum frequency for a depth of 1 foot below natural ground and for
every 1-foot lift of fill placed in the structural areas. In addition, density tests should be performed in
each column footing for a depth of 1 foot below the bearing surface. For continuous or wall footings,
density tests should be performed at a minimum frequency of one test for every 50 lineal feet of footing,
and for a depth of 1 foot below the bearing surface.
Representative samples of the various natural ground and fill soils, as well as stabilized subgrade
(where applicable) and base materials should be obtained and transported to our laboratory for Proctor
compaction tests. These tests will determine the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content
for the materials tested and will be used in conjunction with the results of the in -place density tests to
determine the degree of compaction achieved.
CLOSURE
The analyses and recommendations submitted herein are based on the data obtained from the soil
borings and anticipated loading conditions outlined in this report. This report does not reflect any
variations which may occur adjacent to or between the borings. The nature and extent of the variations
between the borings may not become evident until during construction. If variations appear evident, it
may be necessary to perform additional exploration and testing to re-evaluate the recommendations
presented in this report and make changes in the recommendations noting the characteristics of any
variations. This study does not include an evaluation of the environmental (ecological or
hazardous/toxic material related) condition of the site and subsurface.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Culpepper and Terpening, Inc. in accordance
with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices. In the event any changes occur in the
design, nature, or location of the proposed facility, we should review the applicability of conclusions
and recommendations in this report. We recommend a general review of final design and
specifications by our office to verify that earthwork and foundation recommendations are properly
interpreted and implemented in the design specifications. Ardaman and Associates should attend
the pre -bid and preconstruction meetings to verify that the bidders/contractor understand the
recommendations contained in this report.

SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION INFORMATION
GENERAL
Our borings describe subsurface conditions only at the locations drilled and at the time drilled.
They provide no information about subsurface conditions below the bottom of the boreholes. At
locations not explored, surface conditions that differ from those observed in the borings may
exist and should be anticipated.
The information reported on our boring logs is based on our drillers' logs and on visual
examination in our laboratory of disturbed soil samples recovered from the borings. The
distinction shown on the logs between soil types is approximate only. The actual transition from
one soil to another may be gradual and indistinct.
The groundwater depth shown on our boring logs is the water level the driller observed in the
borehole when it was drilled. These water levels may have been influenced by the drilling
procedures, especially in borings made by rotary drilling with bentonitic drilling mud. An
accurate determination of groundwater level requires long-term observation of suitable
monitoring wells. Fluctuations in groundwater levels throughout the year should be anticipated.
The absence of a groundwater level on certain logs indicates that no groundwater data is
available. It does not mean that no groundwater will be encountered at that boring location.
STANDARD PENETRATION TEST BORINGS
The Standard Penetration Test is a widely accepted method of testing foundation soils in place.
The N-Value obtained from the test has been correlated empirically with various soil properties.
These empirical correlations allow satisfactory estimates to be made of how the soil is likely to
behave when subjected to foundation loads. Tests are usually performed in the boreholes at
intervals of five feet. In addition, our Firm performs tests continuously in the interval directly
below the expected foundation bearing grade where the soil will be most highly stressed.
Boreholes where Standard Penetration Tests will be performed are drilled with a truck -mounted
drilling rig. The boreholes are advanced by rotary drilling with a winged bit that makes a hole
about three inches in diameter. A bentonitic drilling mud is recirculated in order to remove the
cuttings and support the walls of the borehole. The drag bit is specially modified to direct the
mud upward and reduce disturbance of the soil ahead of the bit. If access is not available for
our truck -mounted drilling equipment, portable tripod drilling equipment can be used instead.
Occasionally, running or squeezing ground is encountered that cannot be stabilized by the
drilling mud alone. In addition, drilling mud may be lost into the soil or rock strata that are
unusually pervious. In such cases, flush -joint steel casing with an outside diameter of about 3.5
inches is driven as a liner for the borehole.
Subsurface Exploration Information
After the borehole has been advanced to the depth where a Standard Penetration Test will be
performed, the soil sampler used to run the test is attached to the end of the drill rods and
lowered to the bottom of the borehole. The testing procedure used conforms closely to the
methods recommended in ASTM D-1586. The sampler used has a split -barrel 24 inches long
and an outside diameter of 2.0 inches. It is driven into the ground below the bottom of the
borehole using a hammer that weighs 140 pounds and falls 30 inches. The driller records the
number of hammer blows needed to advance the sampler in successive increments of six
inches. The total number of blows required to advance the sampler the second and third six-
inch increments constitutes the test result; that is, the N-value at the depth. The test is
completed after the sampler has been driven not more than 24 inches or when refusal is
encountered, whichever occurs first. Refusal occurs when 50 hammer blows advance the
sampler less than 6 inches. After the test is completed, the sampler is removed from the
borehole and opened.
The drillers examines and classifies the soil recovered by the sampler, place representative soil
specimens from each test in glass jars or plastic bags and take them to our laboratory. In the
laboratory, additional evaluations and tests are performed, if needed. The driller's
classifications may be adjusted, if necessary, to conform more closely with the Unified Soil
Classification System (USCS). Jar samples are retained in our laboratory for sixty days, then
discarded unless our clients request otherwise.
The following tables relate N-values to a qualitative description of the relative soil density

HAND AUGER BORINGS
Hand auger borings are used, if soil conditions are favorable, when the soil strata are to be
determined within a shallow (approximately 5 foot) depth, or when access is not available for
our truck -mounted drilling equipment. The testing procedure used conforms closely to the
methods recommended in ASTM D-1452. A portable, manually operated, 3-inch diameter
bucket auger with a cutting head is simultaneously turned and pressed into the ground. The
bucket auger is retrieved at approximately 6-inch increments and its content emptied for
inspection. The soil samples obtained are described and representative samples put in jars or
bags and transported to our laboratory for further classification and testing, if necessary.
SFWMD EXFILTRATION TESTS
In order to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the upper soils, constant head or falling head
exfiltration tests can be performed. These tests are performed in accordance with methods
described in the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Permit Information
Manual, Volume IV. In brief, a 6 to 9 inch diameter test hole is augered to the desired test depth
(typically 6 feet), then a screen is lowered into the test hole, the depths of the test hole and
groundwater level are recorded, then the surroundings of the test hole are saturated by pouring
water into the screen as needed to maintain the water level in the test hole at the ground
surface for 10 minutes.
If a constant head test is performed, the rate of pumping will be recorded at fixed intervals of 1
minute for a total of 10 minutes, following the saturation period.
If a falling head test is performed (typically for relatively high permeability soils), water is added
until the water level reaches the ground surface. Then the water flow is stopped and the drop in
water level for discrete time intervals is recorded until the water level in the test hole has
dropped to at least half the distance to the groundwater table.
LEGEND FOR BORING LOGS
The following abbreviations are often used in our boring logs:
MC: Moisture content (percent of dry weight)
OC: Organic content (percent of dry weight)
PL: Moisture content at the plastic limit
LL: Moisture content at the liquid limit
PI: Plasticity index (LL-PL)
Qu: Unconfined compressive strength (tons per square foot unless otherwise noted;
-200: Percent passing a No. 200 sieve (200 wash)
