Woodward-C <br />� <br />indicate movement in the downstream slope. The field invesrigation we propose includes <br />investigation of this possibility. A sixth drill hole (as requested in the summary by Mr. <br />Templeton) could be included at a location determined after drilling the 5 primary drill <br />holes, or to the left af the outlet works; however, at this time we recommend a basic <br />program of 5 drill holes with a contingency for a sixth hole. <br />Piezometers will be installed in cach of the drill holes. Drill holes from the crest and <br />downstream toe will be completed with open well (stand pipe piezometers), aad the two <br />upstream piezometers will be completed with isolated tip piezometers installed in the <br />foundation soils. <br />We recommend that the piezometers be instalted using combined piezometer/ <br />inclinometer casing. This option is discuss d i 5 as Scape Option 1. <br />Task Z - Surveying <br />���� � <br />In additio <br />Surveying will be performed to locat h les and mavement monuments. n, <br />we recommend limited surveying of the embaiilcment geometry. The embankinent <br />surveying will include one profile along the crest, one proiile across the upstream slope <br />at mid height, 3 cross-sections of the embanlaaent, and definition of locations of the <br />surface cracks. Survey data will be important in deiining the geometry of the potential <br />slide area, providing cross-section data for stability analyses, and providing a basis for <br />quantity estimates for the repair measures. <br />Task 3 - Laboratory Testing <br />Testing will be completed in our in-house laboratory. Field samples will be reviewed by <br />our field geotechnical engineer/geologist and aur geotechnical engineer performing the <br />analyses. Selected samples will be tested for engineering properties including moisture <br />content, dry density, speci5c gravity, gcadation, Atterberg limits, and triaxial shear <br />strength. We anticipate that 2 to 3 triaxial shear envelopes will be performed — <br />consisting of envelopes on the foundation and embankment materials. If samples of the <br />slide plane are encountered and the plane consists of a thin layer of clay or claystone, <br />Woodward•Clyde Coewttar�ts <br />2336Q/PR0.4 12-08-93(E:53wNitP'I' 4�2 <br />
