From this intersection, proceed east.to the site located on the south side of the lane. The site begins approximately a '/. mile down Runmpell Land Anil extends to Locust GTOve .Road. Presently the site exists as undeveloped agricultural land and irrigated pasture land with one residence and its associated outbuildings located fronting Locust Grove Road and oi,;ie included and its associated outbuildings fronting Rumpel .Lane. The location is depicted in site map plates included in the Appendix, Geucral Geology Of Area: The subject site is located within the Boise Valley which is directly underlain by a thick sequence of aljuvi.�l sands and gravels typically deposited on basalt formations, These sediments are loosely named the Boise River Gravels and were deposited river floodplain and stream outwash from the Boise River, These gravel deposits tend to have imbricated well-rounded clasts, poor sorting and crude stratification. Beds of avel. and lenses of cross -bedded sands/silts suggest deposition in braided channels, The Boise River Grravcls consist of unconsolidated clay, sill, sand, gravel, and cobbles, The Boise River Gravels have been: subdivided into smaller units based on their age and are oxposed as distinct alluvial terraces, Nine of these terraces arc well exposed in the .Boise area and range in ag years ago). e from Early Pleistocene to Holocene (<1. million The west portion of the site is situated on the Amity Terrace Amity Terrace, the seventh terrace above the floodp:lai.n. The generally consists of sandy pebble acid cobble gravels grading at depth to coarse pebbly sands. Two to seven feel of loess generally Mantle these soils. '17te entire thickness is approximately33 f6et. Gently sloping northwest trending escarpments are suggestive of faultin of the Published for the area indicate that bedrock may tvot be encountered at depths less than 500 feet ebene beneath e soil surface. The eastern portion of the site has been mapped as Sandy Alluvium of Side -Stream Valle s and Gulc These sediments line or mantle these drainages and locally inter -finger with sands y the Boise hes, and gravels of Terrace gravels. These sediments commonly consist of medium to coarse sand interbedded with silty sand and silt. Of note are minor pedogenic clays and calcium carbonate cementation (Othberg and Stanford, 1992). 7446 W, LOmhi St.. 6oise, 10 83709 CcWright' 2005 Materials Testing & Inspection, 1'na E-Mail mti®mli id.00m 208 376.47At3 Fax 208 322-6515 ac,a a WWW.Mtl-td.com o+-ancrc .n i MATERIALS TESTING & + ° INSPECTION 0 Environmental services 2 2e0t8rhnical Ennine Site Topography, Drainage And Vegetation: :hlY T9,12005 Page # 6 of35 Q "mNserver2ftisc\2005 reports%00-7991b50739&5079.9gcotech. doc The eastcni 1/3 and the western 1/3 portions of the proposed 86 acre development consists Of gently sloping agricultural land, and the middle 1./3 portion is moderately steep irrigated pasture land. Two residences are located on the proposed development. The surface exhibits fine grained soils throughout the majority of the site. This development is bounded on the north by an irrigation canal, on the south by undeveloped farm land and gravel pit, on the east by Locust Grove Road, and on the west: by a second gravel pit, Regional drainage is north and east toward the Boise River. Stormwater drainage for the site is achieved by both runoff and percolation through surfcial soils. The runoff component is a factor primarily on steeper slopOs, while percolation is likely more significant in gently sloping areas. No stormwater drainage facilities are located in the vicinity of the site and the area does not receive significant off --site drainage, Vegetation throughout the area consists primarily of irrigated agricultural plants and pasture grasses. Site Climatology And Geochemistry; Average precipitation for the region is on the order of 10 to 12 inches per year. Annual. average temperature range from 20° r to 91 ° F with extremes ranging; from .4° F to 1026 F. ,average wind speed range to. 11 males per hour .in spring with a prevailing direction from the southeast. Soil in. the area is primarily derived from siliceous materials and exhibits low electro-chemical potential for corrosion of metals or concretes. ,Local, aggregates are generally appropriate for Portland Cement and Lime Cement mixtures. The State Transportation Department has adopted anionic asphalt cements. The pH of surface water, groundwater, and soil in the region typically range from 7 to 9. No indication of abnormal geochernical conditions was noted on -site. Nominal frost penetration is typically on the order of 6 inches, with extremes ranging to 3 feet. Geoseismic Setting: Soils on -site are classed as Site Class D in accordance with Chapter 16 of the 2003 edition of the IBC. Building structures on this project s)iould be designed as per the IBC .requirement for such a seismic classification. Our investigation did not reveal potential hazards resulting from earthquake .motions; :slope instability, liquefaction, and surface rupture because of faulting or lateral spreading. incidence and anticipated acceleration of seismic activity in the area is low. 7446 W.

Test pit sites were located in the field by means of normal taping procedures from on -site features or known locations and are presumed ,to be accurate to within a few feet. Upon completion of investigation each test pit was backfilled in with loose. excavated materials, These loose areas need to be re -excavated and compacted prior to constructing structures over them. Samples were obtained .frol>~ representative soil strata encountered in test pits. Samples obtained have been visually classified in the field by an engineer, identified according to test pit number and depth, placed in scaled containers and transported to our laboratory for additional testing. These materials have been further described in detail on logs provided in the Appendix. Results of field and laboratory tests are also presemed on these logs. It is recommended that these logs not be used for estimating quantities because of highly interpretive results. Laboratory Testing Program: Along with the field investigation, a supplemental laboratory testing program was conducted to determine additional pertinent engineering characteristics of subsurface materials necessary in analyzing the behavior of the proposed structures. Laboratory tests were conducted according to current applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications, and results of these tests are to be found on the. accompanying logs located in the Appendix. The laboratory testis g program ror this report Atterberg Limits Tests - ASTM designation D 4318, Grain Size Analysis - ASTM designation, C 17,tcludcd C 136, and Resistance R- Value and Expansion Pressure of Compacted Soils — ASTM designation A 2844, Soil And Sediment Profile: A total of 14 test pits were advanced to depths of 7.7 to 16.8 feet across the site. Because of the areal extent of the studied parcel, the developed soil profile represents only a generalized case, and variations between test pits shouldbe anticipated: 74d6 ..

Sandy Lean Clay (CL) — Dark brown to brown, dry to saturated, stiff to hard, sandy lean clay soils were observed at ground surface across the site except in test pit 3. Pine grained sand was observed throughout the clay soils, with organic material present generally within the upper 6 to 12 *inches. Lean clay soils were noted to depths of 0.5 to 3.5 feet. Ccmentc.d Sandy Slit (ML) — Underlying surtieial clay in most lest pits, brown to light brown, moist to dry, bard., weakly to strongly cemented, sandy silt is present. As indicated, the strength of cementation within this soil type varies, however cementation is present in all test pits with sandy silt. This soil extends to:depths ranging; from approximately 3 to 9 feet. Silty Sand (SM) — Below the cemented sandy silt, in some of the test pits, is silty sand. This. soil classifies as brown to light brown, dry to saturated, medium dense to dense, and trace to moderately cemented: This soil extends to depths of roughly 4 feet to beyond termination depths, where present. Poorly Graded Sandy Gravel (GP) - ,Light brown, dry to saturated, medium dense to dense, poorly graded gravel sediments were observed at depth in most test pits. Well rounded cobbles of -up to ld inches in diameter were present within this soil type. Poorly graded gravel sediments extended through the termination depths where encountered. Walls of each test pit were stable with the exception of those through native granular soils. Excavations through granular soils will have a propensity for sloughing or caving. Soils. Survey Review: A review of the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of Ada County Area, Idaho, 1980, indicated the site can be characterized by the 6 soil types, Speci.f c soils characteristics, as defined by the USDA, for these soil types include: • Aerit; Naplaquepts• Very slow runoff and slight hazard of erosion, • 'Elijah Silt Loam- Moderately slow pertneability, slow runoff, and slight :hazard of erosion. • 011aga Variant Loam- Moderate permeability, slow ninoff, and slight hazard of erosion, • Pipeline Silt Loam- Moderately slow permeability, slow to medium runoff, and slight to moderate hazard of erosion. • Power Silt Loam- Moderately slow permeability, slow runoff, and slight hazard of erosion.. Volatile Organic Scan; No environmental concerns were identified prior to commencement of the investigation. Therefore, soils obtained during on -site activities were not assessed for volatile organic compounds by portab7.e photoionization detector. Samples obtained during our exploration activities exhibited no odors or discoloration typically associated with this type contamination, Copyright' 2005 Materials Tcs6ng & dtispection, ine. 7446 W.

Information provided in this section is limited to observations made at the time of the investigation. Regional and/or local ordinances may require information beyond the scope of this report. Groundwater: Groundwater was encountered only in test pit 1 at 3.0 feet because of the adjacent canal. Soil moistures in Grtheoundwater remaining test pits were generally dry to slightly moist within the surficial clay and dry to slightly below. Groundwater levels in the site vicinity are controlled in, large part by commercial irrigation activity and canal leakage in the local area, and are likely at their maximum elevations during. the irrigation season. Estimation of seasonal groundwater fluctuation is problematic without regular monitoring, based on the evidence oft his investigation, and background knowledge of the area, it is unlike) that during most construction and is anticipated to remain at d the of groundwater will be encountered surface in the western '/, portion of the site throe , � greater than 13 .feet' below the ground The ea from leakage of the adjacent canal, and could experience flooding. th has shallow groundwater eriodic monitoring topographic survey for the site, MTI can Supply 1 general estimations of seasonal high grou dwatet Ole'vations for the area. Soil Infiltration Rates: Soil permeability is a measure of the ability of a liquid to move dwough a soil and was not. tested in the field. In this report this parameter is approximated by soil type and gradation, of soils comprising the, generalized soil profi.l.e for this study, lean clay and silt soils generally offer little permeability, with typical .infiatratiott rates less than 2 inches per .hour, though calcium carbonate cementation encountered within, cem soils may reduce this value to near zero. Silty sand, silty exhibit infiltration rates of 2 to 8 inches per hour. Poorlygraveented silt l' clayey sand, and clayey gravel soils typically graded sand and infiltration values in excess of greater than 24 inches per hour, and percolation on testidy gravel ng is ls tcp h exhibit required within these soils as a result of the free -draining nature of the g ally .t7ot gravel sediment. All infiltration facilities constructed on -site should be extended into native sandy gravel sediments. Excavation depths of greater than 13 feet could be anticipated to expose sandy gavel soils depending' ependin on the location of the drainage Facility. In addition, because of the hi hour should be used for design. gh permeability, ASTM C.33 .filter sand, or equivalent, should be incorporated into dcsigil of infiltration facilities, An infiltration rate of 8 inches per 7446 W Ldmhi St., eoise, 10 83709 COPYrl6ht' 2005 Materials Testing Inspection, Inc.

CONSTRUCTION CONS)[t ERATtONS Earthwork: Recomtatendations in this report are based upon structural elements of the project being founded oa competent native soils or compacted structural fill. Structural areas should be stripped to an el.evalit?n that, exposes these soil types. Excessively organic soils, deleterius, materials, and/or disturbed soils generally o undergo high volume changes when subjected to loads, which is detrimental -to subgrade behavior in the. area of pavements, floor slabs, structural fills, and foundations. Mature trees, brush, and. thick grosses: with associated root systems were noted at the time of our investigation. It is recommended that organic and/or disturbed soils, if encountered, be removed to depots of 1. foot (minimum), and wasted or stockpiled for later use. Stripping dcltths'should be adjusted ig the field to ;assure that the entire root zone and/or disturbed zone (plow depths) and/or topsoil is removed,'prior to placement and compaction of structural fill materials. Exact removal depths should be determined during grading operations by a qualified geotechnical representative, and shall be based upon subpade soil type, composition, and firmness or soil stability. Wany identified underground storage tanks (UtST), below surface ut'i.lities, wells, or septic systems are encountered, they must be decommissioned, removed or abandoned as deemed necessary by governing Federal, State, and local agencies. Excavations developed as the result of such removal must be backfilled with structural fill materials as defined below. After existing subgmde soils are excavated to design grade, proper control of subgrade conditions moisture content) and placement and compaction of new fill (if required) should ; be overseenbye representative of the soils engineer (M.TT), Recommendations for structural fill presented within this report can be used to minimize volume changes and differential settlements that are detrimental to the behavior of footings, pavements, and floor slabs. Sufficient density tests should be performed to properly mon4or compaction. For structural .fill beneath building structures one in -place density test per lift for every 5;000 square feet is recommended. In parking and driveway areas this can be decreased to vne test. per lift -for every 10,000 square feet.

However, shallow groundwater conditions, related to springtime. runoff and/or late summer/early fall irrigation, may induce rutting subgrade soils. Problems may also arise because Of lack of moisture in native and .fill soils at time of piacemen.t. This will require addition of water to achieve near optimum moisture levels. Low cohesive soils exposed in excavations may become friable, increasing chances of sloughing or caving. Measures to control excessive dust should be considered as part of the overall health and safety management plan. Wet Weather: If construction is to be conducted during What is considered "Wet" seasonal conditions (comnionly from mid.November to April), problems associated with soft soils must be co.nsi.dered as part of the construction plan. During Usti of year, fine grained soils such as silts and clays will become unstable with increased moisture content, and eventually deform or rut. Additionally, constant low temperatures reduce the possibility of drying Soils to near optimum conditions. Frozen Subgrade Soils: Frozeu, subgrade soils must be allowed to thaw, or may be stripped prior to placement of structural. materials or foundation elernents. Frozen soils must.be removed to depths that expose non -frozen soils .and wasted or stockpiled for later use. These soils must be allowed to thaw and, return to near op,ti,mam conditions prior to use as structural fill. Structural Fill: Soils regarded as suitable for use as structural fill are those classified as GW, Gla, GM, S W, SP, SM, and, ML, in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System t;USCS) (ASTM D 2487). T.he °use or silty soils (USCS designation of GM, SM, and M.L) as till may be acceptable. .However, these materiai.s requite very high moisture contents for, compaction.attd,_require. a )ong,time to dry,out,if natural moisture contents, are. too high. Therefore these materials can be gttitc difficult to work with as moisture content, li.tl thieleness, and compactive effort becomes difficult to control. Tf silty soil is used for structural rill, lift thicknesses should not exceed 6 inches (loose), and fill material moisture ..must be closely monitored at both the working elevation and the elevations of materials already placed. Fallowing placement, silty Soils must be protected, from degradation resulting .from construction traffic or subsequent construction. 7446 W.

Prior, to placement of structural fill materials, surfaces trust ,he prepared' as outlined in the Construction Considerations section. Structural fill material should be moisture -conditioned to.ach.ieve-optimum moisture content prior to compaction, For structural fill below footings, areas of compacted backfill must .extend outside the perimeter of the footing for a distance equal to the thickness of rill between the bottom of foundation and underlying soils, or 5 .feet, whichever is less. Eacb layer of structural rill must be compacted to a minimum density of 95% of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 1557 (for rigid structures) or D 698 (for flexible pavements). The ASTM D 1557 and D 698 test methods shall be used :for samples containing up to 40% oversize particles (greater than'/, inch), if material contains more than 40% but less than 50% oversize particles, compaction r fill shall be con by proof rolling each li.0 with a 10-ton vibratory roller (or equivalent) until the maximum density has been achieved.

Excavations. Shallow excavations that do not exceed 4 feet in depth may be constructedwith side slopes approaching vertical, Below this depth, it is recommended that slopes be constructed in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSIIA) regulations, section 1926, subpart P. Based on these regulations, on -site soils are classi..fied as type "C" soil, and excavations within these soil should be co»strutrted at .a maximum slope of 1 %foot horizontal to 1 foot vertical (1 %I-I:IV) for excavations up to 20 feet in height,, Excavations in excess of 20 feet will require additional analysis.

For deep excavations, native granular soils cannot be.expected to remain in. position. These materials are prone to failure.and may collapse, thereby undermining upper soils layers. This is especially true when working at depths near the water table. Proper care must be taken to protect personnel and equipment. During our subsurface exploration, test pit sidewalk generally exhibited little indication of .collapse. However, some caving of granular soils occurred, especially after penetration of the water table. Care must be taken so that excavations are properly backtillcd in aecoidarice with procedures outlined in this report; Water and loose debris should be removed from these excavations, prior' to placement -of fil soils or concrete. Groundwater Control: Groundwater was encountered in the northeast portion of the site during the investigation. Excavations below the water table will require a dewattring program.. It may be possible to discharge dewatering effluent to remote portions of the site or to a strategically located sump. or pit. This will essentially recycle effluent, thus clirnLnating the treed to enter into agreements with local drainage authorities. Should the scope of the proposed project change, M.TI should be, contacted to provide more detailed groundwater control measures. Special precautions may be required for control of surface runoff and subsurface seepage in general. It is recommended that runoff caused by wet weather be directed away from open excavations. On -site silty or clayey soils can be expected to become soft .and pump if subjected to excessive traffic following periods.of wet weather. Ponded surface water 4reas should be drained to al.low construction to take place through i methods such as trenching, sloping, crowning grades, nightly smooth drum rolling, or instaailatioa of a French -drain system. Additionally, temporary or permanent driveway sections may be constructed should wet weather be forecast, GENERAL COMMENTS When plans and specifications are complete, or if significant changes are made.in the character or location of the proposed development, consultation should be arranged as suppJ.ementary recommendations may, he. required. It is recommended that the service of a qualified geotechnical engineering firm be engaged to test and evaluate soils in footing excavations before placement of concrete to determine if soils meet compaction requirements. Monitoring and testing should also be performed to verify that suitable materials. are used :for structural fill and that proper placement and compaction is performed. 7446 W, Lemhi St., Boise, ID 83709 E-Mail mil aMV.Id.com 8Ei9T•d 9hAAr,sr,:ni Copyright ' 2005 Materials Testing & lnspcelion, tnc. 208 376.4748 Fax 20 3322.6515 www.mti•id.com MATERIALS To STINtGr INSPECTION J )ul'y 1-9 2005 pagam aG pf35 %\mtiserver21boiscVoo5 reports\600.7991bS0739s\bS073!Jgeoteeh;doc REFERENCES American Society for Testing Materials, 1999, Standard Test Method for Materials Finer than 75-µrn (No. 200) Sieve in Mineral Aggregates by Washing: C 117.95, 3 p, American Society for Testing Materials, 1999, Standard Test Method for Sieve Analysis of, Fine and Coarser Aggregates: C 136 - 96a, 3 p..
