EXHIBIT B <br />Description of Proposed) Investigations <br />1. Property Access <br />The project team and its engineering, survey and environmental consultants will <br />require access to private and public parcels to complete studies needed as part of the <br />planning and design process for the project. The nature of each study is described in <br />more detail below. <br />2. Geotechnical Explorations <br />The Contractor shall perform subsurface explorations at or near the locations shown in <br />the attached maps. Explorations shall include both soil borings and/or Cone Penetration <br />Tests (CPT). <br />Representative soil samples will be obtained from the borings at approximately 45- <br />100ft depth. All samples will be taken off site for further examination and geotechnical <br />laboratory testing for analysis. <br />There will be up to five people on-site to complete the borings: a driller, up to two <br />driller's helpers, a logger, anda County grout inspector. The boring will be performed <br />using a tire -mounted drill rig.: In addition, there will be a support truck for the drill rig, a <br />pick-up truck for the logger, and a pick-up truck/car for the grout inspector. <br />After each boring Is completed, the driller will place soil cuttings and drilling fluid in 55 - <br />gallon drums. The drums will be removed from the site on the day the boring is <br />complete and disposed of at an appropriate disposal facility. The borings will be <br />backfilled with neat cement grout in accordance with the County's well permit <br />requirements. Boring performed in parking lots will be capped with asphalt to match <br />the existing parking lot surface. All equipment, materials, and trash will be removed <br />from the site and the area will be restored to its prior condition. <br />3. Biological Resource Surveys <br />Various biological surveys would be conducted including, but not limited to, those <br />described below. <br />Wetland Delineation: Delineations would be conducted by qualified biologists. Activities <br />would consist of walking the parcel, taking representative photographs, and looking for <br />standing water, wet spots, or concentrations of wetland vegetation. If any of these <br />features are found, the biologist would use a shovel to dig a test pit (2 feet by 2 feet to <br />a depth of about 20 inches) in the center of the wetland feature to identify the soil <br />properties and another outside the feature for comparison. The outline of the feature <br />would be mapped using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The test pit <br />
