Recommendations for foundations, including recommended maximum allowable soil bearing pressures and lateral-earth pressures 5. Recommendations for support of slab-on-grade floors 6. Recommendations for pavement design 7. Recommendations for site preparation and grading SITE CONDITIONS At the time of our field explorations, the site consisted of two separate areas, one on the eastern portion of the site and the other on the western part of the site. The eastern part of the cite is currently being utilized by the existing transfer station which consists of a paved i,.-cess road from Lovelace road, scale, and loading pit with associated paved parking and dumping areas. On the northern 'A of this portion of the site is the current storm drainage pond excavated to approximately 8 to 10 feet in depth. This area and the perimeter are fenced in. A small area north of the fenced pond area is contained within the project boundaries and consists of a weed covered, uneven field used for farm equipment storage. The western portion of the site is currently being fkrmed and consists of a flat field which has recently been disced and leveled. No crops were existent at the time of our exploration. A paved driveway which accesses farm houses and buildings to the north of the site, separates the two described portions of the site. The locations of any underground utilities are not exactly known; however, a power line was observed running along the north side of Lovelace Road and a sign located at the access point of the mentioned pave4,dfiveway with Lovelace Road indicated the presence of a high pressure, natural gas line. The direction which this gas line travels is not known but assumed to run parallel to Lovelace Road on the north side. The locations of other utilities are not known to our firm at this time. FIELD EX-PLOBAUQN The field explorations for this investigation were performed on November 23 and 25, 1992, and consisted of drilling.eight test borings to depths of approximately 15 to 40 feet below the existing ground surface. The borings were located by County personnel in the field and were drilled with truck-mounted drill equipment using 6-inch diameter, continuous-flight augers. Continuous logs of the soils encountered in each boring were maintained by a representative of our firm who assisted in obtaining relatively undisturbed soil samples for visual observation, classification, and laboratory testing. Soil samples were obtained by driving a Copyright 1993 KLeinfeLder, Inc. Page 2 of 11
