Page 4 rr 182--063-00 <br /> Information received from individuals in the community of <br /> Lodi revealed that the site had been used to dispose of foundry <br /> wastes , household garbage, construction wastes , etc. Most of the <br /> site history was based on personal interviews with very little <br /> documented information. <br /> FIELD AND LABORATORY INVESTIGATION PROGRAM <br /> Eleven (11). borings were advanced to depths ranging from 20 <br /> to 45 feet at various locations within the site boundary. -Both a <br /> Modified Penetration Sampler (2- 3/8" diameter.) and a Standard <br /> Penet.ration Sampler were used during our investigation . <br /> Relatively undisturbed samples of the soils were taken- for visual <br /> `examination , classification and laboratory testing. All borings <br /> were drilled with 6 inch diameter flight auger- type drilling <br /> equipment. In addition, 7 backhoe pits were excavated to explore <br /> the subsurface conditions . These pits were advanced to a depth <br /> of approximately 18 feet. <br /> Selected samples from the borings were tested in our <br /> laboratory to determine the settlement and strength <br /> characteristics . In addition , selected. samples from the test <br /> pits were analyzed to determine organic content . A plot plan <br /> showing soil borings and test pit locations are presented in this <br /> report. Logs of borings as well as results of laboratory tests <br /> are presented in Appendix A. <br /> Mie Foundation Fripipecrs, int. <br />
