3 August 28, 2015 Ms. Neepa Shah, P.E. Greeley and Hansen 9020 Stony Point Parkway, Suite 475 Richmond, Virginia Subject: Project , Geotechnical Engineering Report, Sewer Aerial Crossing, 1781 Leicester Road, Richmond, Virginia Dear Ms. Shah: SCHNABEL ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, INC. (Schnabel) is pleased to submit our geotechnical engineering report for this project. This study was performed in accordance with our proposal dated July 2, 2015, as authorized by Mr. George Guhse on August 4, SCOPE OF SERVICES Our proposal dated July 2, 2015, defines the scope of services for this project. The scope of services includes the following: Subsurface exploration including three hand augers. Laboratory testing of materials encountered in the subsurface exploration. Geotechnical engineering analysis and report. SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The existing sewer that crosses the unnamed creek behind 1781 Leicester Road in Richmond, Virginia collapsed and a section of the southeastern bank was washed out during a storm event. The sewer has been temporarily replaced with a 12-inch PVC pipe that is supported with 4x4 timbers and by an existing concrete foundation along the northeastern bank. The stream channel is steeply sloped and lined with riprap. The existing easement is heavily overgrown and overhead power and telephone lines are present within the easement. We understand that a concrete supporting beam and new foundations on each side of the creek will be constructed. Additionally the southern side of the creek bank will be reconstructed, most likely with gabion baskets.
4 Greeley and Hansen Sewer Aerial Crossing, 1781 Leicester Road We obtained the site information and project details from the communication with Greely and Hansen, and through our site visits. A Site Vicinity Map is included as Figure 1. SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM We performed a subsurface exploration and field testing program to identify the subsurface stratigraphy underlying the site and to evaluate the geotechnical properties of the materials encountered. This program included hand augers. Exploration methods used are discussed below. The appendices contain the results of our exploration. Subsurface Exploration Methods Hand Augers Our personnel drilled three hand augers on August 12, Appendix A includes specific observations, remarks, and logs for the hand augers; classification criteria; excavation methods; and sampling protocols. Figure 2 included at the end of this report indicates the approximate hand auger locations. We will retain soil samples up to 45 days beyond the issuance of this report, unless you request other disposition. Soil Laboratory Testing Our laboratory performed tests on selected samples collected during the subsurface exploration. The testing aided in the classification of materials encountered in the subsurface exploration and provided data for use in the development of recommendations for design of foundations and earthwork. The results of the laboratory tests are included in Appendix B and are summarized for each stratum in the Site Geology and Subsurface Conditions section of this report. Selected test results are also shown on the hand auger logs in Appendix A. Index Testing We performed index testing on a sample collected as part of the exploration to provide soil classification and to provide parameters for use with published correlations with soil properties. Index testing included performing natural moisture content, Atterberg Limits, and gradation tests on one jar sample of soil representing Stratum C. SITE GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Site Geology We reviewed existing geologic data and information in our files. Based on this review, the geologic stratigraphy consists of Pleistocene Age upland terrace deposits over residual materials derived from the weathering of the Petersburg granite formation. The terrace deposits are alluvial soils that typically consist of a mixture of clay, silt, sand and gravel. These soils typically exhibit moderate to high strength and low to moderate compressibility. The residual soils are derived from the chemical and physical weathering of the underlying parent material, the Petersburg granite rock. August 28, 2015 Page 2 Schnabel Engineering Consultants, Inc.

5 Greeley and Hansen Sewer Aerial Crossing, 1781 Leicester Road The above stratigraphy is typical in the Richmond area. However, in the immediate vicinity of the creek, some or all of the above strata have been eroded or excavated, and commonly have been replaced with recent alluvial deposits. Generalized Subsurface Stratigraphy We characterized the following generalized subsurface stratigraphy based on the exploration and laboratory test data included in the appendices. Ground Cover: Forest Litter, Rootmat, and Topsoil At the ground surface, hand augers HA-1 and HA-3 encountered a 2 and 3 inch thick layer of forest litter, rootmat and topsoil. Hand auger HA-2 was performed at the toe of the recently failed slope, and did not have any ground cover. Stratum A: Alluvium Hand auger HA-2 encountered a layer of recent alluvial soils consisting of sandy elastic silt (MH) with varying amounts of mica and gravel to a depth of 2 ft, El 150. Based on the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests performed, this stratum is very soft: DCP = 1 to 2. Stratum B: Terrace Below the ground cover, hand augers HA-1 and HA-3 encountered a terrace deposit consisting of silty sand and silty gravel (SM, GM) with varying amounts of gravel and root fragments to depths of 2.9 and 3.7 ft, El and The natural moisture content measured was about 8 percent. Based on the DCP tests performed, this stratum is loose to medium dense: DCP = 6 to >30. Stratum C: Residuum Below the alluvial and terrace soils, the hand augers encountered residual soils consisting of silty sand and silty sand with gravel (SM) with varying amounts of mica and rock fragments to the bottoms of the hand augers, a maximum depth of 10 ft. One sample of soil from this stratum was of moderate plasticity having a liquid limit of 50, and a plasticity index of 16. The natural moisture contents measured were about 10 to 19 percent. Based on the DCP tests performed, this stratum is loose to medium dense: DCP = 4 to 28. Groundwater We observed groundwater in hand auger HA-2 at a depth of 1.1 ft, about El The groundwater elevation was near the surface level of the stream. The hand auger logs in Appendix A include groundwater observations obtained during our subsurface exploration. These data include depths to groundwater encountered during drilling and upon drilling completion. The groundwater levels on the logs indicate our estimate of the hydrostatic water table at the time of our subsurface exploration. The final design should anticipate the fluctuation of the hydrostatic water table depending on variations in precipitation, surface runoff, leaking utilities, stream levels, and similar factors.

6 Greeley and Hansen Sewer Aerial Crossing, 1781 Leicester Road GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS We based our geotechnical engineering analysis on the information developed from our subsurface exploration and soil laboratory testing, along with the site plan furnished to our office. We recommend spread footings for support of the proposed sewer based on our analysis. The following sections of the report provide our detailed recommendations. Spread Footings We consider spread footings suitable for support of the proposed sewer. Footings should be founded on suitable natural soils of Strata B and C or on compacted structural fill. Compacted structural fill should meet the requirements outlined in the Site Grading and Earthwork section of this report. We recommend footings supported on these materials be designed for a net allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. This bearing pressure provides a factor of safety against general bearing capacity failure of at least 3.0. The above allowable soil bearing pressure may be increased by 33 percent for wind and seismic loads when used in conjunction with load combinations defined in IBC 2009 Section , Alternative Basic Load Combinations for use with allowable stress design. This increase is not applicable for other allowable stress load combinations, strength design, or load and resistance factor design. We anticipate suitable natural soils will be encountered at shallow depths (less than 2 ft) below existing grade. All footing subgrades should be observed by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to placement of concrete to evaluate if subgrade materials are as anticipated. If unsuitable soils are encountered at the design bearing grade, these soils should be removed and replaced as recommended by the Geotechnical Engineer. Unsuitable soils should be replaced with compacted fill, open graded crushed stone such as VDOT No. 57 or No. 78 aggregate, controlled low strength material (CLSM), or concrete. Settlements of shallow foundations supported on suitable natural soils and on properly placed compacted structural fill are not expected to exceed about one-half (1/2) of an inch. Differential settlements between similarly loaded footings are not expected to exceed about half this value. The footings should be at least 12 inches wide, for shear considerations. The footings should be founded at least 2 ft below final grade for frost protection. Earthwork Subgrades to receive compacted structural fill for foundation support should be stripped of vegetation, topsoil, and organic matter. Schnabel s subsurface exploration indicated topsoil to depths of 0.2 to 0.3 ft below the ground surface. However, stripping of wooded sites typically results in some disturbance and contamination of near-surface soils, particularly during periods of wet weather. Therefore, we recommend a topsoil stripping depth of 0.5 ft be considered for the site during the project planning. Compacted structural fill subgrades should consist of suitable natural soils of Strata B and C. These soils are expected to be encountered at shallow depths beneath the topsoil and root mat. August 28, 2015 Page 4 Schnabel Engineering Consultants, Inc. Project All Rights Reserved
7 Greeley and Hansen Sewer Aerial Crossing, 1781 Leicester Road The Geotechnical Engineer should evaluate the suitability of the fill subgrades. The stripped subgrades should be evaluated with a combination of probing with a penetrometer, drilling hand augers, or observing test pits to evaluate the subgrade suitability for support of the compacted structural fill prior to any undercutting or initiation of fill placement. Areas that are considered unsuitable should be scarified, dried and recompacted, or undercut and replaced with compacted structural fill as recommended by the Geotechnical Engineer. Compacted structural fill subgrades should be free of snow, ice, and frozen soils. If snow, ice, or frozen soils are present at subgrade levels, these materials should be removed as recommended by the Geotechnical Engineer. The existing concrete foundation for the sewer will need to be removed before earthwork construction. Existing foundations should be completely removed from the area of the new sewer foundations. Compacted structural fill and backfill should consist of non-organic on-site soils. If off-site borrow materials are needed, these soils should classify SC, SM, SP, SW, GC, GM, GP or GW according to ASTM D2487. Fill materials should not contain particles larger than 3 inches. Compacted structural fill should be placed in maximum 8-inch thick horizontal, loose lifts. Fill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density per ASTM D698 Standard Proctor. Backfill placed in excavations, trenches, and other areas that large compaction equipment cannot access should be placed in maximum 6-inch thick lifts. Backfill should meet the material, placement, and compaction requirements outlined above. CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS Spread Footings The Contractor should exercise care during excavation for footings so that as little disturbance as possible occurs at the foundation level. The Contractor should carefully clean loose or soft soils from the bottom of the excavation before placing concrete. A Geotechnical Engineer from our firm should observe footing subgrades prior to concrete placement to evaluate whether subgrade soils are as anticipated in this report. Footing subgrades needing undercut may be concreted at the elevation of undercut or backfilled to the original design subgrade elevation with an open-graded crushed stone such as No. 57 aggregate. Placement of concrete should take place the same day as excavation of footings. Earthwork The hand auger data indicates the approximate depth of topsoil based on our visual identification procedures. The depth of stripping needed to provide a suitable base for placement of earthwork or pavements may include topsoil and other softer surficial layers. Stripping depths in wooded or previously cultivated areas will be greater, particularly during periods of wet weather. The depth of required stripping should be determined by the excavation Contractor prior to construction using test pits, probes, or other means. August 28, 2015 Page 5 Schnabel Engineering Consultants, Inc. Project All Rights Reserved
8 Greeley and Hansen Sewer Aerial Crossing, 1781 Leicester Road The on-site soils are susceptible to moisture changes, will be easily disturbed, and will be difficult to compact under wet weather conditions. Drying and reworking of the soils are likely to be difficult during periods of wet months. We recommend that the earthwork phases of this project be performed during the warmer, drier times of the year to limit the potential for disturbance of on-site soils. Engineering Services During Construction The engineering recommendations provided in this report are based on the information obtained from the subsurface exploration and laboratory testing. However, conditions on the site may vary between the discrete locations observed at the time of our subsurface exploration. The nature and extent of variations between hand augers may not become evident until during construction. To account for this variability, we should provide professional observation and testing of subsurface conditions revealed during construction as an extension of our engineering services. These services will also help in evaluating the contractor's conformance with the plans and specifications in accordance with building code requirements. Because of our unique position to understand the intent of the geotechnical engineering recommendations, retaining Schnabel for these services will allow the owner to receive consistent service throughout the project construction. General Specification Recommendations An allowance should be established to account for possible additional costs that may be required to construct earthwork and foundations as recommended in this report. Additional costs may be incurred for a variety of reasons including variation of soil between hand augers, unsuitable soils, need for borrow fill material, wet on-site soils, obstructions, temporary dewatering, etc. We recommend that the construction contract include unit prices for scarifying and drying wet and/or loose subgrade soils, and provide an allowance for this work. In addition, the construction contract should include an allowance for undercutting soft or loose, near-surface soils, and replacement with compacted structural fill. Add/deduct unit prices should also be established in the contract so adjustments can be made for the actual volume of materials handled. The project specifications should indicate the Contractor's responsibility for providing adequate site drainage during construction. Inadequate drainage will most likely lead to disturbance of soils by construction traffic and increased volume of undercut. This report may be made available to prospective bidders for informational purposes. We recommend that the project specifications contain the following statement: Schnabel Engineering Consultants, Inc., has prepared this geotechnical engineering report for this project.

14 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION PROCEDURES Hand Augers Our personnel drilled the hand augers using a 3-inch O.D. auger. We visually classified the soils encountered according to ASTM D2488. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) measurements were obtained in the hand augers to provide a general indication of the relative density or consistency of the insitu soils. DCP blows are indicated on the hand auger logs. Each number represents the blows needed to drive the DCP 1¾ inches, using a 15-lb weight falling 20 inches. Soil Classification Criteria The group symbols on the logs represent the Unified Soil Classification System Group Symbols (ASTM D2487) based on visual observation and limited laboratory testing of the samples. Criteria for visual identification of soil samples are included in this appendix. Some variation can be expected between samples visually classified and samples classified in the laboratory. Hand Auger Locations and Elevations Hand augers were located using sub-meter GPS equipment. Approximate hand auger locations are shown on Figure 2. Ground surface elevations at the hand auger locations were obtained from the topographic site plan provided by Greeley and Hansen. Locations and elevations should be considered no more accurate than the methods used to determine them. August 28, 2015 Project Schnabel Engineering Consultants, Inc All Rights Reserved
15 GENERAL NOTES FOR SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION LOGS 1. Numbers in sampling data column next to Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) symbols indicate blows needed to drive the DCP 1¾ inches, using a 15-lb weight falling 20 inches. 2. Visual classification of soil is in accordance with terminology set forth in Identification of Soil. The ASTM D2487 group symbols (e.g., CL) shown in the classification column are based on visual observations. 3. Estimated water levels indicated on the logs are only estimates from available data and may vary with precipitation, porosity of the soil, site topography, and other factors. 4. The logs and related information depict subsurface conditions only at the specific locations and at the particular time when drilled or excavated. Soil conditions at other locations may differ from conditions occurring at these locations. Also, the passage of time may result in a change in the subsurface soil and water level conditions at the subsurface exploration location. 5. The stratification lines represent the approximate boundary between soil and rock types as obtained from the subsurface exploration. Some variation may also be expected vertically between samples taken. The soil profile, water level observations and penetration resistances presented on these logs have been made with reasonable care and accuracy and must be considered only an approximate representation of subsurface conditions to be encountered at the particular location. 6.
