SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purpose of this subsurface exploration was to evaluate the subsurface soil conditions at the
locations explored with respect to general subsurface characterization. In order to accomplish
these objectives, we undertook the following scope of services:
1) Coordinated utility clearance with Miss Utility,
2) Mobilized/demobilized drilling equipment and crew to and from the site,
3) Performed 180 linear feet of soil test boring,
4) Performed visual classification and preparation of the attached boring logs,
5) Performed the requested laboratory testing program consisting of particle
size distribution testing for twelve specified split-spoon samples, and
6) Prepared this brief report of findings and results that presents the test boring
logs and laboratory test results and includes a short discussion on anticipated
excavation conditions.
Our limited scope of services did not include engineering evaluations of the collected data,
survey of boring locations and elevations, quantity estimates, preparation of plans or
specifications, detention pond considerations, wetland determination, or the evaluation of
environmental aspects of the project site.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION SERVICES
Our subsurface exploration program consisted of 15 test borings designated B-1 through B-15.
The exploration program was performed between 30 April and 1 May 2008 at the approximate
locations shown on the attached Boring Location Plan (Drawing No.1). The test borings were
advanced through the soil overburden to a planned termination depth of 12 feet below existing
site grades.
NXL personnel marked the boring locations in the field utilizing surveying techniques. However,
boring locations B-10 and B-11 were offset out of their planned creek-bed locations on the
order of 8 feet south and 16 feet north, respectively. Ground surface elevations at the staked
locations were provided by NXL. Where drilling was performed in near-proximity to the pre-
staked locations, the ground surface elevations reported on the attached boring logs are
rounded to the nearest 1/10th of a foot from the elevations provided by NXL. The ground
surface elevations for borings B-10 and B-11 were interpolated to the nearest one-foot based
on the topographic information shown on the provided “Boring locations” drawing. F&R makes
no claim as to the accuracy of the information contained in the provided documents or to the
accuracy of the pre-staked locations. In consideration of the rounding methods utilized with
Parsons Transportation Group, Inc of Virginia Straightstone Creek Restoration Project
F&R Project No.: K62-056D 19 May 2008

the provided elevations, the offsetting of borings B-10 and B-11, and the slight offsetting that
can occur when drilling adjacent to a provided stake, we recommend that the boring elevations
and locations shown on attached Boring Logs and Boring Location Plan be considered
approximate.
The test borings were performed in accordance with generally accepted practice using an All-
Terrain Vehicle (ATV)-mounted CME-55 rotary drill rig. Hollow-stem augers were advanced to
pre-selected depths, the center plug was removed, and representative soil samples were
recovered with a standard split-spoon sampler (1 3/8 in. ID, 2 in. OD) in general accordance
with ASTM D 1586, the Standard Penetration Test. Utilizing an automatic hammer, the split-
spoon sampler was driven into the soil by freely dropping a weight of 140 pounds from a height
of 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the split-spoon sampler three consecutive
6-inch increments is recorded, and the blows of the last two increments are summed to obtain
the Standard Penetration Resistance (N-value). In some of the Standard Penetration Tests, the
blow count is recorded as “weight of hammer” (WOH). In these cases, the static weight of the
hammer, rods, and sampler penetrated into the soft subsurface soil with no hammer blows.
The N-value provides a general indication of in-situ soil conditions and has been correlated with
certain engineering properties of soils.
In some soils it is not always practical to drive a split-spoon sampler the full three consecutive
6-inch increments. Whenever more than 50 blows are required to drive the sampler over a
6-inch increment the condition is called split-spoon refusal. Split-spoon refusal conditions may
occur because of obstructions or because the earth materials being tested are very dense or
very hard. When split-spoon refusal occurs, often little or no sample is recovered. The SPT N-
value for split-spoon refusal conditions is typically estimated as greater than 100 blows per foot
(bpf). Where the sampler is observed not to penetrate after 50 blows, the N-value is reported
as 50/0. Otherwise, the depth of penetration after 50 blows is reported in inches, i.e. 50/5,
50/2, etc.
Subsurface water level readings were taken in each of the test borings immediately upon
completion of the drilling process. The boreholes subsequently were backfilled with auger
cuttings (soil). Periodic observation and maintenance of the backfilled boreholes should be
performed to monitor for subsidence at the ground surface, as the borehole backfill could
settle over time.
Representative portions of the split-spoon soil samples obtained throughout the exploration
program were placed in glass jars and transported to our laboratory. In the laboratory, the soil
samples were evaluated by a member of our professional staff in general accordance with
techniques outlined in the visual-manual identification procedure (ASTM D 2488) and the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The soil descriptions and classifications discussed in
this report and shown on the attached boring logs are based on visual observation and should
be considered approximate. Where applicable, the laboratory testing results were utilized to
refine our visually determined classifications.

In accordance with our proposed scope of services, no other engineering evaluations or
interpolations were performed at this time. Copies of the boring logs are provided and
classification procedures are further explained in the attached Appendix. Split-spoon soil
samples recovered on this project will be stored at F&R’s office for a period of sixty days. After
sixty days, the samples will be discarded unless prior notification is provided to us in writing.
ENCOUNTERED SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
General
The subsurface conditions discussed in the following paragraphs and those shown on the
attached boring logs represent an estimate of the subsurface conditions based on
interpretation of the boring data using normally accepted geotechnical engineering judgments.
The transitions between different soil strata are usually less distinct than those shown on the
boring logs. Although individual test borings are representative of the subsurface conditions at
the boring locations on the dates shown, they are not necessarily indicative of subsurface
conditions at other locations or at other times. Data from the specific test borings are shown
on the attached boring logs in the attached Appendix. Below the existing ground surface, the
test borings generally encountered surficial soils underlain by alluvial soils and residual soils.
However, boring B-15 (drilled in a higher elevation area of the site) encountered no alluvium,
rather encountered residuum overlying partially weathered rock. These materials are generally
discussed in the following paragraphs.
Surficial Soils
Most of the borings encountered surficial soils. Where encountered, the surficial soils ranged
in a depth of about 2 to 7 inches with a typical range of 2 to 3 inches. Surficial soils are typically
a dark-colored soil material containing roots, fibrous matter, and/or other organic components,
and are generally unsuitable for engineering purposes. We note that no laboratory testing has
been performed to determine the organic content or horticultural properties of the observed
surficial soil materials. Therefore, the term “surficial soils” is not intended to indicate suitability
for landscaping and/or other purposes. The surficial soil depths provided in this report are
based on driller observations and should be considered approximate. The transition from
surficial soils to underlying materials may be gradual and therefore the observation and
measurement of surficial soil depths is subjective. Actual surficial soils depths should be
expected to vary across the site.
Alluvial Soils
Alluvial soils consist of materials that have been transported and deposited by flowing waters.
With the exception of boring B-15, materials described as alluvial soils were encountered in
each of the test borings to depths ranging from about 1.5 feet to 10 feet below the existing site
grades. Sampled alluvial soils were generally described as sands (SP & SW), silts (MH & ML),
and silty sands (SM). Standard penetration resistance N-values within the sampled alluvium
ranged from 1 to 13 blows per foot (bpf) with a typical range of 2 to 4 bpf.
Parsons Transportation Group, Inc of Virginia Straightstone Creek Restoration Project
F&R Project No.: K62-056D 19 May 2008
4
Residual Soils
Residual soils, formed by the in-place weathering of the parent rock, were encountered in each
of the test borings with the exception of boring B-11. Sampled residual soils were generally
described as silty sands (SM); however, boring B-15 also encountered silty clay (CL) and sandy
silt (ML). Standard penetration resistances in the sampled residuum ranged from 5 to 60 bpf
with typical values ranging from about 10 to 30 bpf.
Partially Weathered Rock
Partially weathered rock (PWR) is a transitional material between soil and rock, which retains
the relic structure of the rock and has very hard or very dense consistencies. PWR is defined for
engineering purposes as residual material with standard penetration resistances in excess of
100 bpf. PWR was encountered at an approximate depth of 10 feet below the existing ground
surface in borings B-11 and B-15. The sampled PWR was generally described as silty sand (SM)
and exhibited penetration resistances of 50 blows per 6 inches of split-spoon penetration (50/6)
to 50 blows per 4 inches of split-spoon penetration (50/4).
Subsurface Water
With the exception of borings B-13 and B-15, measurable subsurface water was encountered in
each of the test borings immediately upon completion of drilling at depths ranging from about
2 feet below the existing ground surface at boring B-3 to about 10 feet below the existing
ground surface at boring B-2. Boring B-1 was drilled in the existing creek bed and encountered
surface water at-grade. Elsewhere, subsurface water was typically encountered on the order of
3 to 4 feet below existing site grades. Specific encountered subsurface water levels for the
individual borings are shown on the attached boring logs. Fluctuations in subsurface water
levels and soil moisture should be anticipated with changes in precipitation, run-off, elevation
of Straightstone Creek, and season.
LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
Split-spoon samples obtained from the 1.5 to 3 feet, 4.5 to 6 feet, and 7.5 to 9 feet sampling
increments at boring locations B-3, B-5, B-7, and B-11 (twelve samples total) were prescribed
for grain-size analysis (particle size distribution). Graphical representations of the requested
laboratory tests are provided in the attached Appendix.
APPENDIX
KEY TO BORING LOG SOIL CLASSIFICATION
Particle Size and Proportion Visual descriptions are assigned to each soil sample or stratum based on estimates of the particle size of each component of the soil and the percentage of each component of the soil.
Particle Size
Descriptive Terms
Proportion
Descriptive Terms Soil Component Particle Size Component Term Percentage
Boulder > 12 inch Major Uppercase Letters > 50% Cobble 3 - 12 inch (e.g., SAND, CLAY)
Gravel-Coarse 3/4 - 3 inch -Fine #4 - 3/4 inch Secondary Adjective 20% - 50%
Sand-Coarse #10 - #4 (e.g., sandy, clayey) -Medium #40 - #10
-Fine #200 - #40 Minor Some 15% - 25% Silt (non-cohesive) < #200 Little 5% - 15%
Clay (cohesive) < #200 Trace 0% - 5%
Notes: 1. Particle size is designated by U.S. Standard Sieve Sizes 2. Because of the small size of the split-spoon sampler relative to the size of gravel, the true percentage of gravel may not be accurately estimated. Density or Consistency The standard penetration resistance values (N-values) are used to describe the density of coarse-grained soils (GRAVEL, SAND) or the consistency of fine-grained soils (SILT, CLAY). Sandy silts of very low plasticity may be assigned a density instead of a consistency.
DENSITY CONSISTENCY Term N-Value Term N-Value
Very Loose 0 - 4 Very Soft 0 - 1 Loose 5 - 10 Soft 2 - 4
Medium-Dense 11 - 30 Medium Stiff 5 - 8 Dense 31 - 50 Stiff 9 - 15
Very Dense > 50 Very Stiff 16 - 30 Hard > 30
Notes: 1. The N-value is the number of blows of a 140 lb. Hammer freely falling 30 inches required to drive a standard
split-spoon sampler (2.0 in. O.D., 1-3/8 in. I.D.) 12 inches into the soil after properly seating the sampler 6 inches.
2. When encountered, gravel may increase the N-value of the standard penetration test and may not accurately represent the in-situ density or consistency of the soil sampled.
