Geotechnical Evaluation
Porter Complex Development
Meridian, Idaho
ALLWEST has completed the geotechnical evaluation for the proposed Porter
Complex Development to be located on the north and south sides of West Ustick Road,
east of North McDermott Road, in Meridian, Idaho. The general location of the site is
shown on Figure A-1 — Site Vicinity Map in Appendix A of this report. The purpose of
this evaluation was to identify subsurface soil conditions at the site, and provide
opinions and recommendations for the proposed development, relative to earthwork,
stormwater disposal, and pavement section design. This report details the results of
our field evaluation and presents recommendations to assist planning, design, and
construction.
1.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of services for the project included the following:
1) Prior to subsurface exploration, we visited the site to observe site accessibility
and to pre-mark exploration locations, as required by Idaho Digline.
2) We then notified Idaho Digline to mark underground utilities as required by Idaho
state law.
3) Subcontracted a backhoe and operator to observe the excavation of 34 test pits
throughout the site to a maximum depth of 13 feet.
4) Visually described, classified, and logged the soils encountered within test pits
in general accordance with ASTM D 2487 and ASTM D 2488, which utilizes the
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), and we logged the subsurface
profiles. We obtained soil samples within select test pits.
5) Performed seepage tests within select test pits to evaluate subsurface seepage.
We installed PVC pipes in select test pits for future groundwater monitoring.
6) At completion of exploration, the test pits were loosely backfilled with excavated
soil approximately level with the ground surface.
7) Performed laboratory tests on select soil samples to assess some of the soil
engineering properties and characteristics.
8) Reviewed the results of the field evaluation and laboratory testing, performed
engineering analyses, and provided recommendations to assist project
planning, design, and construction.
9) Prepared this report with our field evaluation results, subsurface logs, and
geotechnical-related opinions and recommendations.
We provided our services for the project in general accordance with our geotechnical
proposal (520-223P) dated May 26, 2020.

2.0 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on electronic communication with Prime Idaho, Inc., and review of a site aerial
with site boundary areas, we understand the project consists of an approximate 178-
acre development, which consists of multiple parcels for future residential and
commercial developments. Frontage along West Ustick Road will consist of
commercial construction followed by multi-family residential development (apartments
buildings and/or condos); with the remaining areas consisting of single-family
residential subdivision(s). The overall development will include associated
infrastructure, stormwater disposal facilities, and asphalt-paved roadways.
We did not review preliminary development or grading plans, as they were not provided
to ALLWEST at the time of this report, but we anticipate cut and fill for the site to be
approximately 3 feet or less.
3.0 FIELD EVALUATION PROCEDURES
To complete this evaluation, we observed the excavation of 34 test pits on June 23 &
24, 2020. We obtained select soil samples for further identification and laboratory
testing, and we performed field seepage testing in select test pits to help evaluate
subsurface soil infiltration. Approximate locations of test pits are shown on Figure A-2
— Exploration Location Plan in Appendix A.
4.0 SITE CONDITIONS
At the time of exploration, majority of the site was undeveloped and being used for
farming. Three residential structures with associated outbuildings exist on the south
side of West Ustick Road within the site boundaries. The overall site is bordered by
farm fields to the north, west and south, and a mixture of residential developments and
undeveloped land/farm fields to the east. The Settlers Canal borders the site on the
southwest corner, a second canal runs through the overall site, and a third canal
borders the site along the northeast/north portion of the overall site.
4.1 General Geologic Conditions
The geologic conditions at the site are mapped as Gravel of Whitney Terrace (Qwg)
on the "Geologic Map of the Boise Valley and Adjoining Area, Western Snake River
Plain, Idaho" (by Othberg and Stanford, 1992). These soil units consist of 16 to 80 feet
of sandy pebble and cobble gravel, mantled by 3 to 7 feet of loess.
The soils encountered within test pits are generally consistent with geologic mapping.

4.2 General Soil Conditions
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which represents the
upper 5 feet of soil profile, has mapped the soils on the site as Purdam silt loam,
Purdam-Power silt loam, and Power silt loam. The parent materials of these soils are
mixed alluvium, lacustrine deposits, and/or loess, consisting of silt loam, silty clay loam,
cemented material, stratified sand to loam, stratified gravelly sandy loam to loam,
and/or fine sandy loam.
The soils encountered within test pits are generally consistent with NRCS mapping.
5.0 EXPLORATION AND SAMPLING
We observed the excavation of the 34 test pits using a Case 580C backhoe with a 3-
foot-wide bucket at the approximate locations shown on Figure A-2 — Exploration
Location Plan. We obtained Google Earth latitude and longitude coordinates of test pit
locations with a hand-held cellular device. These coordinates can be found on
individual test pit logs in the Appendix B and should be considered accurate to the
degree implied by the method used.
We visually described, classified, and logged soil conditions observed within test pits
in general accordance with ASTM D 2487 and D 2488. We obtained disturbed soil
samples from exploration locations. At completion of exploration, test pits were loosely
backfilled with excavated soils approximately level with existing ground surfaces, and
we installed slotted PVC pipes within select test pits.
5.1 Subsurface Soil Conditions
The site generally contained approximately 6 inches of surficial roots and vegetation.
In general, the subsurface soils encountered in our soil investigation comprised of
surficial lean clay with sand or sandy lean clays with thickness of 1 to 3 feet, overlaying
varying layers and mixtures of native silty and sandy soils. Underlying the silty and
sandy soils, we generally observed poorly-graded gravels with silt and sand to test pit
depths of up to 13 feet.
Specific descriptions of native soils observed throughout our field exploration follow:
Unsuitable surficial fill soil — At the ground surface within test pit TP-22, we observed
a lean clay with sand fill layer to a depth of 1'/2 feet. This surficial fill contained
approximately 1 foot of variable trash debris and we described this fill soil as dark
brown, soft, and moist. Although this was the only location where we observed
unsuitable surficial fill soils with trash debris, there may be potential fill areas
throughout the site similar to this, and other similar area may not be encountered until
earthwork construction commences.

Porter Complex Development Page 5
Meridian, Idaho
Lean clay with sand (CL), sandy lean clay (CL) (native) — At the ground surface, with
exception of test pit TP-22, we observed native lean clay with sand or sandy lean clay
down to depths of 1 to 3'/2 feet. We described native clay soil as brown, stiff, and moist.
Sandy silt (ML), silt with sand (ML), silty sand (SM) — Underlying surficial clay soils
within test pits TP-1, -2, -4, -6 to-13, -15, -17, -18, -22, -25 to -28, and -33, we observed
sandy silt, silt with sand, and/or silty sand down to depths of 2'/2 to 7'/2 feet. We
described silty and sandy soils as tan, light-brown, brown, or dark brown, medium
dense, and moist, with variable weak cementation and induration.
Sandy elastic silt (MH) — Underlying surficial clay soils within test pits TP-30 to -32, we
observed sandy elastic silt down to depths of 4 to 51/2 feet. We described sandy elastic
silt as brown, stiff, and moist.
Poorly-graded sand with silt (SP-SM), silty sand (SM)— Underlying surficial clay, sandy
silt, silt with sand, silty sand, or sandy elastic silt soils, with exception of test pits TP-
12, -25, -26, -29, and -31, we observed poorly-graded sand with silt, and in some cases
silty sands underlying poorly-graded sand with silt, down to depths of 3 to 14 feet. We
described poorly-graded sand with silt and silty sand as light brown/tan, medium
dense, and moist to saturated, with variable weak to moderate cementation and
induration.
Poorly-graded gravel with silt and sand (GP-GM), poorly-graded gravel with sand (GP)
— Underlying the poorly-graded sand with silt or silty sand, and underlying lean clay in
TP-29 and sandy elastic silt in TP-31, with exception to test pits TP-5, -7, and -8, we
observed poorly-graded gravel with silt and sand and/or poorly-graded gravel with
sand, to test pit termination depths of up to 13'/2 feet. We described poorly-graded
gravel soils as tan or dark brown, medium dense, and moist to saturated.
Detailed soil descriptions, depths and notes are presented on individual test pit logs in
Appendix B. The descriptive soil terms used on the test pit logs in this report, can be
referenced by the USCS. A copy of the USCS is included in Appendix B. Subsurface
conditions may vary between exploration locations. Such changes in subsurface
conditions may not be apparent until construction, and if they change significantly from
those observed, then accordingly, construction timing, plans, and costs may change.
5.2 Subsurface Water
At the time of exploration, we encountered groundwater to the maximum depths
explored within test pits, except in TP-29 and -32, at depths of 7 to 13'/2 feet below
existing ground surfaces. Groundwater in the area is typically influenced by local
irrigation and nearby canals. Groundwater may also be influenced by precipitation, on-
site construction, and development to adjacent sites. Subsurface water will fluctuate
throughout the different seasons of the year, but will most likely be affected during
seasonal snow melt and irrigation seasons (March to October).

Porter Complex Development Page 6
Meridian, Idaho
We installed select PVC pipes throughout the site for groundwater monitoring. If
authorized to perform groundwater monitoring, ALLWEST can verify the fluctuation of
groundwater, throughout snow melt and irrigation seasons.
6.0 LABORATORY TESTING
We performed laboratory testing to supplement field classifications and to assess
some of the soil engineering properties and parameters. The laboratory tests
conducted included moisture content (ASTM D 2216), gradation (ASTM D 1140),
Atterberg limits (ASTM D 4318), and California bearing ratio (CBR) (ASTM D 1883).
Laboratory test results are summarized in Appendix C, and are also presented on test
pit logs in Appendix B.
7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our observations, testing, and evaluation, in our opinion the site is suitable
for the planned residential development. The following recommendations are
presented to assist with planning, design, and construction of the development, relative
to earthwork, infrastructure, stormwater disposal, and asphalt pavements.
These recommendations are based on our understanding of the proposed
construction, the conditions observed within exploration locations, laboratory test
results, and engineering analysis. If the scope of construction changes, or if conditions
are encountered during construction that differ from those described herein, we should
be notified so we can review our recommendations and provide revisions, if necessary.
Foundation-related recommendations are not provided as part of this evaluation. Once
final development plans for commercial developments are provided, we can provide
additional evaluation, and exploration as necessary, to provide foundation-related
recommendations. This will require additional scope of services and fees.
7.1 Grading
We did not review final grading plans for this development as they were not available
at the time of this report, but we anticipate site grading will consist of cuts and fills of
up to 3 feet. We should be notified if actual site grading varies significantly from this
stated information, as it may affect our recommendations herein.
7.2 Site Preparation
Prior to conducting site grading, surficial soil containing vegetation, roots and organics
should be removed below proposed site grading fill areas, pavements areas, and any
other development areas. In general, we anticipate approximately 6 inches of site
stripping will be required for the site to remove surficial vegetation and roots.
Where existing structures, outbuildings, and infrastructure are located that will be
demolished as part of this development, complete over-excavation is required down to
GEOTECHNICAL I ENVIRONMENTAL
ALLWESTMATERIALS TESTING I SPECIAL INSPECTION
AN EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPANY
Geotechnical Evaluation ALLWEST Project No. 520-223G
Porter Complex Development Page 7
Meridian, Idaho
native soils, and these over-excavated areas must be replaced with suitably moisture-
conditioned and compacted fill soils. This includes any existing drain field areas or
other previously placed fill areas, including areas with debris as observed in the upper
1'/z feet of test pit TP-22. Lateral limits of existing infrastructure and any fill/debris areas
will not fully be known until construction, and as such, the earthwork contractor should
have contingencies in-place to ensure these areas are fully over-excavated within
future development areas.
Where any test pits are located below proposed structures or development areas, the
loose test pit backfill should be re-excavated its entire depth and replaced with suitably
compacted fill soil, to compaction criteria as required in section 7.6 Fill Placement and
Compaction. As such, we recommend test pit locations be accurately surveyed by a
surveying company, so that they may be located and remediated in the future, prior to
site construction and development.
After site stripping, over-excavations, and loose test pit backfill remediation, and prior
to placing site grading fills, utility backfill, or pavement subsections, the exposed
subgrades should be proof-rolled with a minimum of 5-ton vibratory roller, or with a
vibratory hoe-pack, to confirm subgrade stability. This will also assist in identifying any
soft or loose soil zones associated with loose test pit backfills or wet/soft soils due to
precipitation. If native subgrade soil is observed to significantly deflect or pump, it
should be over-excavated to firm, non-yielding soil and replaced with properly
compacted fills, or stabilized as recommended in section 7.3 Subgrade Stabilization.
7.3 Subgrade Stabilization
If the subgrade soils are observed to pump or deflect significantly during grading, the
subgrades should be stabilized prior to fill placement. Subgrades may be stabilized
using geosynthetic reinforcement in conjunction with imported granular structural fill.
The required thicknesses of granular structural fill (used in conjunction with
geosynthetic reinforcement)will be dependent on the construction traffic loading, which
is unknown at this time. Therefore, a certain degree of trial and error may be required
during construction to verify recommended stabilization section thicknesses.
Geosynthetic reinforcement should consist of Tensar TX-160 or equivalent.
Alternatives to Tensar TX-160 must be approved by the geotechnical engineer prior to
use on site. The following recommendations are provided for subgrade stabilization
using geosynthetic reinforcement.
• Geosynthetic reinforcement materials should be placed on a non-disturbed
subgrade with smooth surface. Loose and disturbed soil should be removed
prior to placement of geosynthetic reinforcement materials.
• A minimum weight 4-ounce, non-woven filter fabric should be placed on the
undisturbed subgrade. The geosynthetic reinforcement should be placed
directly on top of the filter fabric. The filter fabric and geosynthetic reinforcement
GEOTECHNICAL I ENVIRONMENTAL
ALLWESTMATERIALS TESTING I SPECIAL INSPECTION

Porter Complex Development Page 8

should be unrolled in the primary direction of fill placement and should be over-
lapped at least 3 feet.
• The geosynthetic materials should be pulled taut to remove slack.
• Construction equipment should not be operated directly on the geosynthetic
materials. Fill should be placed from outside the excavation to create a pad to
operate equipment on. We recommend a minimum of 12 to 18 inches of
granular structural fill be placed over the geosynthetic reinforcement before
operating construction equipment on the fill. Low pressure, track-mounted
equipment should be used to place fill over the geosynthetic reinforcement.
• Granular structural fill placed directly over geosynthetic reinforcement should be
properly moisture-conditioned prior to placement, and once placed, should be
statically rolled. This section is the "bridge" section over soft subgrades.
• After the first "bridge" lift has been placed, the remaining fill material above the
"bridge" section should be compacted to structural fill criteria in section 7.6 Fill
Placement and Compaction, utilizing vibratory compaction methods.
• Vibration should be discontinued if it reduces the subgrade stability. If
compaction criterion is not met within the fill lift above the "bridge" section, the
"bridge" section thickness is not enough, and subgrade stabilization must be
attempted again with a greater "bridge" section.
The geotechnical engineer or a representative of the geotechnical engineer must be
on-site during subgrade stabilization to verify our recommendations are followed, and
to provide additional recommendations, as needed.
7.4 Excavation
Excavation of on-site soil can be accomplished with typical excavation equipment. We
recommend excavations greater than 4 feet deep be sloped no steeper than 1.5HAV
(horizontal to vertical). Alternatively, deeper excavations may be shored or braced in
accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) specifications
and local codes. Regarding trench wall support, the site soil is considered Type C soil
according to OSHA guidelines. Ultimately, the contractor is responsible for site safety,
excavation configurations and following OSHA guidelines
7.5 Materials
Stripped soils and/or soils containing vegetation or debris are only suitable for use in
non-structural landscape areas. Existing on-site soils may be reused as site grading
fill, provided they are stockpiled separately, they meet the criteria below, and they are
compacted as required in this report. Imported granular soils should be free of
organics, debris and other deleterious material and meet the following criteria. Import
materials should be approved by ALLWEST prior to delivery to the site.

7.6 Fill Placement and Compaction
Fill should be placed in lift thicknesses which are appropriate for the compaction
equipment used. Typically, 8- to 12-inch-thick loose-lifts are appropriate for typical
rubber-tire and steel-drum compaction equipment. Lift thicknesses should be reduced
to 4 inches for hand-operated compaction equipment. Fill should be moisture
conditioned to within 2% of the optimum moisture content prior to placement to facilitate
compaction. Fill should be compacted to the following percentages of the maximum
dry density as determined by ASTM D 1557 (modified Proctor).

* Proof-roll should be observed and approved by a representative of the geotechnical engineer.
7.7 Utility Trenches
Support soils for underground utilities will most likely consist of clays, silts, and sands.
These soils should provide adequate support for utilities, provided utility subgrades are
compacted utilizing vibratory methods, such as with a large vibrator hoe-pack. If utility
pipe subgrades are soft, yielding, and/or saturated at the time of construction,
subgrade over-excavation and replacement with competent structural fill may be
required below utilities. If support soils yield and/or are saturated at the time of
construction, we should be notified to observe these soils and provide additional
recommendations, as necessary.
We strongly recommend backfilling trench excavations with fill soils which meet criteria
in section 7.5 Materials, as on-site fine-grained soils (silts and clays) may be difficult to
moisture-condition and compact in utility trenches.

7.8 Wet Weather Construction
We recommend earthwork for this site be scheduled for the drier seasons of the year.
If construction is undertaken in wet periods of the year, it will be important to slope the
ground surface to provide drainage away from construction. If construction occurs
during or immediately after excessive precipitation, it may be necessary to over-
excavate and replace saturated subgrade soil, which might otherwise be suitable.
The on-site soils are sensitive to disturbance when wet. If these soils become wet and
unstable, we recommend construction traffic is minimized where these soils are
exposed. Low ground-pressure (tracked) equipment should be used to minimize
disturbance. Soft and disturbed subgrade areas should be excavated to undisturbed
soil and backfilled with structural fill.
In addition, it should be noted the on-site soils tend to have notable adhesion when
wet and may be easily transported off-site by construction traffic.
7.9 Cold Weather Construction
The on-site soils are frost susceptible. If site grading and construction are anticipated
during cold weather, we recommend good winter construction practices be observed.
Snow and ice should be removed from excavated and fill areas prior to additional
earthwork or construction. Pavement and flatwork portions of the construction should
not be placed on frozen ground; nor should the supporting soils be permitted to freeze
during or after construction. Frozen soils must not be used as fill.
If native subgrades, or suitably moisture-conditioned and compacted fill lifts, will be left
exposed to freezing temperatures overnight, those areas should be protected with a
minimum of 12 inches of loose soil, or covered with heated construction blankets, so
construction subgrades do not freeze. Any frozen soils should be removed prior to
additional fill placement or construction of any kind.
Earthwork construction during cold inclement weather will require a higher level of
attention and detail to achieve required earthwork construction and compaction criteria
and may lead to additional earthwork requirements and extended construction
schedules.
7.10 Stormwater Disposal
During our field investigation we performed field seepage testing within test pits TP-7,
-17, -20, -23, -25, -27 and -34, within non-cemented/non-indurated poorly-graded sand
with silt, and poorly-graded gravel (with or without silt), where we obtained field-
measured seepage rates of greater than 20 inches per hour (in/hr.)
We also performed seepage testing within test pit TP-14 in poorly-graded sand with
silt and within test pit TP-26 in silty sand, which did contain weak cementation, and we
obtained field-measured seepage rates of 5 in/hr and less than '/4 in/hr, respectively.
GEOTECHNICAL I ENVIRONMENTAL
ALLWESTMATERIALS TESTING I SPECIAL INSPECTION
AN EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPANY
Geotechnical Evaluation ALLWEST Project No. 520-223G
Porter Complex Development Page 11
Meridian, Idaho
Due to variability of calcium carbonate cementation and/or induration observed within
poorly-graded sand with silt and silty sand soils, we do not recommend stormwater
disposal be accomplished within calcium carbonate cemented soils or indurated soils,
due to poor and inconsistent seepage. However, there are many areas where poorly-
graded sand with silt did not contain cementation or induration, so stormwater disposal
locations should be evaluated once those facility locations have been established
(either prior to or during construction) to determine if cementation/induration exists,
and if so, deeper excavation must occur to reach non-cemented/non-indurated soils
for stormwater disposal. Refer to exploration logs in Appendix B to verify contacts,
depths, and thicknesses of calcium carbonate cementation/induration within test pits.
Based on our field seepage testing and subsurface soil observations, we recommend
stormwater disposal occur within non-cemented, non-indurated poorly-graded sand
with silt, poorly-graded gravel with silt and sand, or poorly-graded gravel with sand
soils. The following allowable seepage rate should be utilized for on-site stormwater
disposal into non-cemented, granular soils.
• Sand with silt, gravel with silt and sand, gravel with sand ............ 8 in/hr
Stormwater disposal facilities should be constructed a minimum of 1 foot into the
receiving soil. Seepage beds should be "burrito wrapped" or otherwise maintain a
separation/filter fabric between native fine-grained soils and drain rock/filter sand to
help prevent fine-soil migration into drainable/filtering media. ALLWEST should
observe stormwater disposal facility subgrades to establish if the suitable receiving soil
is encountered (based on civil design), to confirm the recommended seepage rate (by
performing field seepage testing), and to ensure the separation/filter fabric has been
properly installed.
The proper separation from bottom of stormwater disposal facilities and seasonal high
groundwater should be maintained. At the time of exploration, we observed
groundwater at depths varying from 7 to 13'/2 feet. Groundwater is most likely affected
by irrigation in the area, and should be monitored to assist civil stormwater design.
We installed slotted PVC pipes within select test pits throughout the site for future
groundwater monitoring. At a minimum, these pipes should be monitored during
seasonal snow melt and irrigation seasons (March to October), or as required by
governing jurisdictions, to confirm the seasonal high groundwater elevations at the site.
We remain available to perform groundwater monitoring, if requested.
7.11 Asphalt Pavements
Prior to pavement section construction, the pavement subgrade should be proof-rolled
as recommended in section 7.2 Site Preparation. Local and collector roadways should
be designed for a 20-year Equivalent Single Axle Load(ESAL) of 33,000 and 370,000,
respectively, which is equivalent to a traffic index (TI) of 6 and 8, respectively. If actual
traffic conditions are different than what is stated, we should be notified so that we may
GEOTECHNICAL I ENVIRONMENTAL
ALLWESTMATERIALS TESTING I SPECIAL INSPECTION

modify our pavement section design. Majority of the roadway subgrades throughout
the site consisted of lean clays with sand or sandy lean clays. As such, we performed
California bearing ratio (CBR) testing on a clayey soil to assist pavement section
design. Based on laboratory testing, we obtained a CBR of 7.7 for sandy lean clay.
Based on the variability of sand content within clay soils, on majority of the subgrade
areas consisting of lean clay with sand, and our experience with clay-type soils, we
recommend a CBR value of 6 be utilized for design, which is equivalent to an R-value
of 14.
The following flexible asphalt pavement section design is provided adhering to the
Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), which utilizes the AASHTO pavement design
methodology, and utilizing Ada County Highway District (ACHD) substitution ratios.
Based on subgrade preparation requirements and design assumptions, we
recommend the following pavement sections be utilized for subdivision roadway
construction for local and collector roadways.
The following table presents these pavement sections:
Asphalt Aggregate Granular
Pavement Application Concrete Base Course Subbase

in this report and should be placed over a properly prepared subgrade. The subgrade,
subbase, and base course surfaces should slope at no less than 2% away from the
crown of the roadway to help reduce the potential for surface water infiltration into the
underlying pavement subgrade.
Asphalt concrete pavement should be compacted to minimum of 92% of the Rice
density. Crack maintenance on pavements should be performed at a minimum of every
3 years, or when cracking is evident. Crack sealing will help reduce surface water
infiltration into the supporting soils.
