M98177GE <br />• downhill conveyor will be supported on isolated footing pads <br />~ located along the alignment of the conveyor. <br />We understand that the proposed site development will include <br />constructing excavated cut slopes and placed compacted fill slopes <br />near the area of the stacking tube and stockpile area. <br />1.2 Scope of Services <br />Our services included geotechnical engineering field and labora- <br />tory studies, analysis of the acquired data and report preparation <br />for the proposed site. The scope of our services is outlined <br />below. <br />- The field study consisted of describing and sampling the soil <br />~. materials encountered in eleven (11) auger advanced test <br />borings at the proposed conveyor system location. One (1) test <br />boring was advanced near the truck load out surge bin proposed <br />location. Three (3) test borings were advanced near the <br />proposed location of the reclaim tunnel and stacking tube. <br />Five (5) test borings were located along the proposed alignment <br />of the downhill conveyor. One (1) test boring was advanced- <br />near each of the two (2) proposed locations of the transfer <br />station. <br />~~ - The soil materials encountered in the test borings were de- <br />scribed and samples retrieved for the subsequent laboratory <br />study. <br />- The laboratory study included tests of select soil samples <br />obtained during the field study to help assess: <br />. the soil strength potential (internal friction angle and <br />cohesion) of samples tested, <br />. the swell and expansion potential of the samples tested, <br />. the settlementlconsolidation potential of the samples <br />tested, <br />. the moisture content and density of samples tested, and <br />f the soil sulfate concentration of soil samples tested. <br />f - This report presents our geotechnical engineering comments, <br />suggestions and recommendations for planning and design of site <br />1 development including: <br />2 <br /> <br />lambert ana ~~,~ociares <br />CONSULTiHG GEOTECNNIUL ENGINEERS ENO <br />MITE Ni~L TESTiHG <br />
