DATE: September 17, 2008

SUBJECT: Hardin CountyMedian Cable Barrier System I-65Mileposts 91.086 to 100.509Item # 4-2801.00Cable Barrier Anchor Testing

Drilling activities were completed in Mid-August 2008. The summary of soil conditions represents soils within stated project limits. Plans were not accessible at the time of the drilling and mileposts are used instead. Boring locations were spaced approximately at half-mile intervals. At each hole in which refusal was not encountered, a SPT sample was driven and the associated blow counts were recorded. All information related to each boring can be found on the drilling log. The log contains the depth of hole, SPT values, soil description and classifications, naturalmoisture value, and whether refusal was encountered. The water table was not located on the project. Refusal was encountered due to limestone at the accompanying depths.

The average Frost Depth for Kentucky is 2.0 feet.

If there are any questions, please contact the Geotechnical Branch at (502) 564-2374.
