PN: 50663GE November 20, 2006 1.0 REPORT INTRODUCTION This report presents our geotechnical engineering slope stability analysis for the proposed access roadway to the proposed Airport Business Park Access Roadway. This report was requested by Gravel LLC. c/o Southwest Land Services. We discussed the scope of our study and preliminary analysis results with Mr. Brian Kimmel, Southwest Land Services, Mr. Bryan Duff, P.E., and Mr. Rob Harries, P.E., both of Goff Engineering during the development of this study. The field study was completed on August 21, 2006. Geotechnical engineering is a discipline which provides insight into natural conditions and site characteristics such as; subsurface soil and water conditions, soil strength, swell (expansion) potential, consolidation (settlement) potential, and often slope stability considerations. Typically the information provided by the geotechnical engineer is utilized by many people including the project owner, architect or designer, structural engineer, civil engineer, the project builder and others. The information is used to help develop a design and subsequently implement construction strategies that are appropriate for the subsurface soil and water conditions, and slope stability considerations. It is important that the geotechnical engineer be consulted throughout the design and construction process to verify the implementation of the geotechnical engineering recommendations provided in this report. Generally the recommendations and technical aspects of this report aze intended for design and construction personnel who aze familiaz construction concepts and techniques, and understand the terminology presented below. We should be contacted if any questions or comments azise as a result of the information presented below. Sections 1.0 and 2.0 provide an introduction and an establishment of our scope of service. Sections 3.0 through 8.0 of this report present our geotechnical engineering field and laboratory studies (Sections 3.0 and 4.0) followed by our recommendations (Sections 5.0 through 7.0) which are based on our engineering analysis of the data obtained. Section 8.0 provides a brief discussion of construction sequencing and strategies which may influence the geotechnical engineering chazacteristics of the site. The discussion and construction recommendations presented in Section 8.0 aze intended to help develop site soil conditions that are consistent with the geotechnical engineering recommendations presented previously in the report. Ancillary information such as some background information regazding soil corrosion and radon considerations is presented as general reference. The construction considerations section is not intended to address all of the construction planning and needs for the project site, but is intended to provide an overview to aid the owner, design team, and contractor in understanding some construction concepts that may influence some of the geotechnical engineering aspects of the site and proposed development. 2 TRAUTNER ~ A DIVISION OF 71i1GONq~~]
