INTRODUCTION

This report presents the results of our geotechnical engineering services for the LA-16 Non-Rock Alternatives to Shoreline Protection Demonstration Project (Non-Rock Demo Project) located in Lafourche, Jefferson and Iberia Parishes, in Louisiana.

Our services have been completed under the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) contract number AG-7217-C-10-0003. Our site visits were completed under NRCS order number AG-7217-D-11-0015, dated February 9, 2011, and our field investigation, laboratory testing program and reporting were completed under NRCS order number AG-7217-D-11-0056, dated April 19, 2011.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

Our understanding of the project is based on the March 3, 2011 NRCS Scope of Services for Geotechnical Investigation, our conversations with representatives of the NRCS and site visits/meetings with NRCS representatives at each project location.

We understand the purpose of this project is to collect geotechnical soil samples and laboratory data to evaluate the potential performance and effectiveness of several non-rock alternatives for shoreline protection. The project consists of three test plots in coastal Louisiana along the shorelines of Bayou Perot, Lake Salvador and Vermilion Bay and are identified as West Bayou Perot, Southeast Lake Salvador and Shark Island as shown in Figure 1.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Our specific scope of services included the following:

1. Visited the sites to observe field conditions and better understand the project conditions.

2. Contacted the “Louisiana One-Call” to clear the boring locations of potential underground utilities.

3. Performed a field investigation that included:

a. Four soil borings were drilled at each test site including one soil boring to 50 feet below the mudline (bml) and three soil borings to 30 feet bml with a pontoon-mounted drill rig, and

b. Two borehole vane shear tests at each soil boring location.

4. Performed laboratory testing on select undisturbed specimens. Selected samples were lab classified and subjected to strength, unit weight, moisture content, Atterberg limit, sieve, hydrometer, organic content, specific gravity, and consolidation testing.

5. Prepared soil cross sections based on the field and laboratory investigation.

6. Prepared a report of findings.

Page 2 | July 7, 2011 | GeoEngineers, Inc. File No. 10883-011-00

The work scope was completed as proposed with the following exception.

� At the Shark Island location, GeoEngineers drilled the 50-foot deep soil boring at the location of BHSP-SI1-30, instead of BHSP-SI3-50. The completed soil boring labels were changed to reflect the actual depth drilled consistent with the NRCS soil boring designations.

SITE CONDITIONS

Project Vicinity

The project sites are located along the shorelines of Bayou Perot, Lake Salvador and Vermilion Bay in Lafourche, Jefferson and Iberia Parishes, Louisiana, respectively. The surrounding areas of each project site are largely undeveloped marsh land and large bodies of open water. Bayou Perot, Lake Salvador and Vermilion Bay are susceptible to rough water conditions when high winds are present.

Site Conditions

On February 14 and 15, 2011, representatives of GeoEngineers and NRCS toured each project site by boat. All boring locations were accessible with the boat at the time of the site visits. Site conditions for all project sites are described below:

� Water depths at each project site are generally shallow (2-3 feet) within 200 feet of the shoreline;

� Mobilization to these sites require traversing large bodies of water which can be difficult in rough water conditions;

� Several marked pipelines are in the vicinity of each project site; and

� Ground surface along the shoreline was typically no more than 1 to 2 feet above the water level at the time of the site visits. Land is vegetated predominantly with grasses; however, some small trees and brush were sparsely growing along the shoreline.

Subsurface Conditions

Site specific information including a site map, soil boring location plan, boring logs, subsurface profile and laboratory test results for the West Bayou Perot, Southeast Lake Salvador and Shark Island project sites are provided in Appendices A, B and C, respectively.

The field exploration and laboratory testing program performed by GeoEngineers to support this project along with site specific stratigraphy details are described in the following paragraphs.

Field Exploration

Soil conditions were evaluated in each project area by advancing 3 soil borings to 30 feet bml and one soil boring to 50 feet bml. Two field vane shear tests were conducted at each soil boring location. All soil borings were sampled continuously for the top 20 feet, then on 5-foot centers thereafter.

The soil borings were completed between April 29, 2011 – May 7, 2011 using a pontoon-mounted drill rig. A representative from GeoEngineers managed the drilling on a full time basis, examined

and classified the soils encountered, obtained representative samples, and prepared a log of each borehole.

Borehole sampling was conducted in general accordance with applicable ASTM International (ASTM) specifications. High-quality, undisturbed, cohesive and semi-cohesive soil (clay/clayey silt) specimens suitable for laboratory strength testing were obtained using a 30-inch-long, 3-inch outside diameter (O.D.), thin-walled steel Shelby tube sampler. The sampler was hydraulically pushed into the ground a distance not exceeding 24 inches per specimen.

Immediately upon recovery, each sample was classified in the field based on soil exposed on the end of the Shelby tube. Each Shelby tube was then sealed and transported in a vertical position (bottom down) to our Baton Rouge laboratory to minimize sample disturbance.

Upon completion of sampling, boreholes were backfilled in accordance with state requirements. The pontoon-mounted drill rig was then repositioned adjacent (± 5 feet) to the previously completed soil boring where a GEONOR H-10 Vane Borer Instrument was used to perform two field shear vane tests at various depths in general accordance with ASTM D 2573. The test consisted of placing a four-blade vane (65 mm wide and 130 mm long) in the in-situ soil and rotating it from aboard the pontoon-mounted drill rig to determine the torque required to shear a cylindrical surface with the vane. The resulting torque was used to determine the in-situ undrained shear strength.

Field vane readings in peat for these three project sites typically indicate lower strengths than other test methods, based on field vane data evaluations recommended in published literature. The field vane data evaluation for each site is included in the respective appendix (Appendices A, B and C). For these investigations, GeoEngineers recommends placing more emphasis on the laboratory compression and minivane test results when developing a soil strength profile for design. Results of each field shear vane test are presented on the soil boring logs at their respective depths in the appendices.

Laboratory Testing

Each soft semi-cohesive and cohesive sample was subjected to a laboratory minivane test prior to extrusion. Upon extrusion, each sample was classified visually in general accordance with ASTM D 2488. Undisturbed samples were subjected to laboratory testing consisting of moisture content, dry unit weight and unconsolidated undrained compression testing. Representative samples were selected for laboratory testing consisting of organic content, consolidation testing and Atterberg limits. The test results are presented on the boring logs at their respective depths. Laboratory test results are also presented in figures and summary tables in Appendices A, B and C.

Soil Stratigraphy

The soil stratigraphy descriptions presented below are general. Soil conditions can vary outside of the borings. For details, refer to the boring logs in Appendices A, B, and C.

� West Bayou Perot. Subsurface soils encountered at the West Bayou Perot project site were predomently very soft peat in the top 10 to 15 feet bml underlain by by very soft organic clay

and clay. In the one deeper 50-foot soil boring (BHSP-BP3-50) a layer of firm sand was encountered at approximately 40 feet bml.

■ Southeast Lake Salvador. Subsurface soils encountered at the Southeast Lake Salvador project consisted of both very soft peat and organic clay in the upper 15 feet of the soil profile bml. Below this depth the profile consisted of predominantly very soft organic clay; however, layers of very soft clay were also present, and in in soil boring BHSP-LS3-50 a 3-foot thick layer of firm sand was present at approximately 19 feet bml.

■ Shark Island. Subsurface soils encountered at the Shark Island project site were generally very soft peat to approximately 15 feet bml, underlain by very soft clay and organic clay to approximately 20 feet bml. Beneath 20 feet bml the soil type varied between organic clay to clay, to clay with silt, and the soil consistency varied from very soft to medium.

CONCLUSIONS

The West Bayou Perot, Southeast Lake Salvador and Shark Island project sites have very similar site conditions. Each site is located along the shoreline of a large body of water susceptible to rough water conditions. Mobilization to these sites by boat could be difficult depending on the weather conditions. At the time of our site visits and investigations, water depths within 200 feet of the shoreline were generally 2 to 3 feet deep. However, water depths at each site can vary substantually depending on the tide/weather conditions.

While all three of the sites indicate very soft organic soil in the upper 20 feet or so of the soil profile, the soil encountered at the West Bayou Perot and Shark Island sites appeared to have more peat in this zone than the Southeast Lake Salvador site. Each site is unique and only a limited number of soil borings were comleted for this investigation, so with respect to demonstration projects, each site should be considered separately. Other factors such as prevailing winds and water depth, in addition to each site’s unique soil characteristics may influence how alternative shoreline protection projects perform.

The organic soils encountered at these three sites will typically settle significantly when loaded, and will also shrink substantially if removed from water and allowed to dry. Settlement of non-rock shoreline protection systems is expected as a result of the soft organic soils present at all project sites.

Notes:1 Field Vane testing was performed prior to sample extrusion/classification and soil type was not known. Peat is highly permeable and is 

poorly suited to the Field Vane Shear test. 2 Correction factors were selected based on Bjerrum's (1972) Recommended curve, as found in Figure 5.1 of "Recommended Practice for 

Soft Ground Site Characterization: Arthur Casagrande Lecture" by Ladd and Degroot (2003). Figure 5.1 correlates correction factors to the Plasticity Index of the material.

3 Correction factors for peat were assumed to be 0.5 based on "Engineering Properties of Fibrous Peats" by Mesri and Anjlouni. A review of miniature vane shear testing and triaxial compression testing shows good agreement between the two test types, suggesting that miniature vane and triaxial tests are better suited to these materials. 

4 "OH" clays without a PI test were assigned a correction factor of 0.7 based on a review of OH materials from this project.5 "CH" clays without a PI test were assigned a correction factor of 0.8 based on a review of CH materials from this project.

Blowcount is recorded for driven samplers as the numberof blows required to advance sampler 12 inches (ordistance noted). See exploration log for hammer weightand drop.

A "P" indicates sampler pushed using the weight of thedrill rig.

NOTE: The reader must refer to the discussion in the report text and the logs of explorations for a proper understanding of subsurface conditions.Descriptions on the logs apply only at the specific exploration locations and at the time the explorations were made; they are not warranted to berepresentative of subsurface conditions at other locations or times.

Notes:1 Field Vane testing was performed prior to sample extrusion/classification and soil type was not known. Peat is highly permeable and is 

poorly suited to the Field Vane Shear test. 2 Correction factors were selected based on Bjerrum's (1972) Recommended curve, as found in Figure 5.1 of "Recommended Practice for 

Soft Ground Site Characterization: Arthur Casagrande Lecture" by Ladd and Degroot (2003). Figure 5.1 correlates correction factors to the Plasticity Index of the material.

3 Correction factors for peat were assumed to be 0.5 based on "Engineering Properties of Fibrous Peats" by Mesri and Anjlouni. A review of miniature vane shear testing and triaxial compression testing shows good agreement between the two test types, suggesting that miniature vane and triaxial tests are better suited to these materials. 

4 "OH" clays without a PI test were assigned a correction factor of 0.7 based on a review of OH materials from this project.5 "CH" clays without a PI test were assigned a correction factor of 0.8 based on a review of CH materials from this project.

Blowcount is recorded for driven samplers as the numberof blows required to advance sampler 12 inches (ordistance noted). See exploration log for hammer weightand drop.

A "P" indicates sampler pushed using the weight of thedrill rig.

NOTE: The reader must refer to the discussion in the report text and the logs of explorations for a proper understanding of subsurface conditions.Descriptions on the logs apply only at the specific exploration locations and at the time the explorations were made; they are not warranted to berepresentative of subsurface conditions at other locations or times.

Notes:1 Field Vane testing was performed prior to sample extrusion/classification and soil type was not known. Peat is highly permeable and is 

poorly suited to the Field Vane Shear test. 2 Correction factors were selected based on Bjerrum's (1972) Recommended curve, as found in Figure 5.1 of "Recommended Practice for 

Soft Ground Site Characterization: Arthur Casagrande Lecture" by Ladd and Degroot (2003). Figure 5.1 correlates correction factors to the Plasticity Index of the material.

3 Correction factors for peat were assumed to be 0.5 based on "Engineering Properties of Fibrous Peats" by Mesri and Anjlouni. A review of miniature vane shear testing and triaxial compression testing shows good agreement between the two test types, suggesting that miniature vane and triaxial tests are better suited to these materials. 

4 "OH" clays without a PI test were assigned a correction factor of 0.7 based on a review of OH materials from this project.5 "CH" clays without a PI test were assigned a correction factor of 0.8 based on a review of CH materials from this project.

APPENDIX D REPORT LIMITATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR USE

This appendix provides information to help you manage your risks with respect to the use of this report.

Geotechnical Services Are Performed for Specific Purposes, Persons and Projects

This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by USDA-NRCS and their authorized agents for for the LA-16 Non-Rock Alternatives to Shoreline Protection Demonstration Project (Non-Rock Demo Project) located in Lafourche, Jefferson and Iberia Parish, Louisiana. This report may be made available to regulatory agencies for review. This report is not intended for use by others, and the information contained herein is not applicable to other sites.

GeoEngineers structures our services to meet the specific needs of our clients. For example, a geotechnical or geologic study conducted for a civil engineer or architect may not fulfill the needs of a construction contractor or even another civil engineer or architect that are involved in the same project. Because each geotechnical or geologic study is unique, each geotechnical engineering or geologic report is unique, prepared solely for the specific client and project site. Our report is prepared for the exclusive use of our Client. No other party may rely on the product of our services unless we agree in advance to such reliance in writing. This is to provide our firm with reasonable protection against open-ended liability claims by third parties with whom there would otherwise be no contractual limits to their actions. Within the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, our services have been executed in accordance with our Agreement with the client and generally accepted geotechnical practices in this area at the time this report was prepared. This report should not be applied for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated.

A Geotechnical Engineering or Geologic Report Is Based on a Unique Set of Project-specific Factors

This report has been prepared for the LA-16 Non-Rock Alternatives to Shoreline Protection Demonstration Project (Non-Rock Demo Project) located in Lafourche, Jefferson and Iberia Parish, Louisiana. GeoEngineers considered a number of unique, project-specific factors when establishing the scope of services for this project and report. Unless GeoEngineers specifically indicates otherwise, do not rely on this report if it was:

■ not prepared for you,

■ not prepared for your project,

■ not prepared for the specific site explored, or

■ completed before important project changes were made.

For example, changes that can affect the applicability of this report include those that affect:

■ the function of the proposed structure;

Page 217: LA-16 Non-Rock Alternatives Report · PDF fileThis report presents the results of our geotechnical engineering services for the LA-16 Non-Rock Alternatives to ... lab classified and

LA-16 NON-ROCK DEMO PROJECT Lafourche, Jefferson and Iberia Parish, Louisiana

Page D-2 | June 9, 2011 | GeoEngineers, Inc. File No. 10883-011-00

■ elevation, configuration, location, orientation or weight of the proposed structure;

■ composition of the design team; or

■ project ownership.

If important changes are made after the date of this report, GeoEngineers should be given the opportunity to review our interpretations and recommendations and provide written modifications or confirmation, as appropriate.

Subsurface Conditions Can Change

This geotechnical or geologic report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed. The findings and conclusions of this report may be affected by the passage of time, by manmade events such as construction on or adjacent to the site, or by natural events such as floods, earthquakes, slope instability or groundwater fluctuations. Always contact GeoEngineers before applying a report to determine if it remains applicable.

Most Geotechnical and Geologic Findings Are Professional Opinions

Our interpretations of subsurface conditions are based on field observations from widely spaced sampling locations at the site. Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. GeoEngineers reviewed field and laboratory data and then applied our professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ, sometimes significantly, from those indicated in this report. Our report, conclusions and interpretations should not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions.

Geotechnical Engineering Report Recommendations Are Not Final

Do not over-rely on the preliminary construction recommendations included in this report. These recommendations are not final, because they were developed principally from GeoEngineers’ professional judgment and opinion. GeoEngineers’ recommendations can be finalized only by observing actual conditions revealed during construction. GeoEngineers cannot assume responsibility or liability for this report's recommendations if we do not perform construction observation.

Sufficient monitoring, testing and consultation by GeoEngineers should be provided during construction to confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide recommendations for design changes should the conditions revealed during the work differ from those anticipated, and to evaluate whether or not activities are completed in accordance with our recommendations. Retaining GeoEngineers for construction observation for this project is the most effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions.

A Geotechnical Engineering or Geologic Report Could Be Subject to Misinterpretation

Misinterpretation of this report by other design team members can result in costly problems. You could lower that risk by having GeoEngineers confer with appropriate members of the design team after submitting the report. Also retain GeoEngineers to review pertinent elements of the design

LA-16 NON-ROCK DEMO PROJECT Lafourche, Jefferson and Iberia Parish, Louisiana

team's plans and specifications. Contractors can also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering or geologic report. Reduce that risk by having GeoEngineers participate in pre-bid and preconstruction conferences, and by providing construction observation.

Do Not Redraw the Exploration Logs

Geotechnical engineers and geologists prepare final boring and testing logs based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical engineering or geologic report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize that separating logs from the report can elevate risk.

Give Contractors a Complete Report and Guidance

Some owners and design professionals believe they can make contractors liable for unanticipated subsurface conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems, give contractors the complete geotechnical engineering or geologic report, but preface it with a clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the report was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with GeoEngineers and/or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they need or prefer. A pre-bid conference can also be valuable. Be sure contractors have sufficient time to perform additional study. Only then might an owner be in a position to give contractors the best information available, while requiring them to at least share the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Further, a contingency for unanticipated conditions should be included in your project budget and schedule.

Contractors Are Responsible for Site Safety on Their Own Construction Projects

Our geotechnical recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor’s procedures, methods, schedule or management of the work site. The contractor is solely responsible for job site safety and for managing construction operations to minimize risks to on-site personnel and to adjacent properties.

Read These Provisions Closely

Some clients, design professionals and contractors may not recognize that the geoscience practices (geotechnical engineering or geology) are far less exact than other engineering and natural science disciplines. This lack of understanding can create unrealistic expectations that could lead to disappointments, claims and disputes. GeoEngineers includes these explanatory “limitations” provisions in our reports to help reduce such risks. Please confer with GeoEngineers if you are unclear how these “Report Limitations and Guidelines for Use” apply to your project or site.

Geotechnical, Geologic and Environmental Reports Should Not Be Interchanged

The equipment, techniques and personnel used to perform an environmental study differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical or geologic study and vice versa. For that reason, a geotechnical engineering or geologic report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground

storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Similarly, environmental reports are not used to address geotechnical or geologic concerns regarding a specific project.

Biological Pollutants

This report does not include any interpretations, recommendations, findings, or conclusions regarding the detecting, assessing, preventing or abating of Biological Pollutants and no conclusions or inferences should be drawn regarding Biological Pollutants, as they may relate to this project. The term “Biological Pollutants” includes, but is not limited to, molds, fungi, spores, bacteria, and viruses, and/or any of their byproducts.
