Geotechnical Evaluation
Modern Craftsman Eagle Road Development
Meridian, Idaho
ALLWEST has completed the geotechnical evaluation for the proposed Modern
Craftsman Eagle Road Development to be located 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. This report details
the results of our evaluation and presents recommendations relative to earthwork, utilities,
stormwater disposal, and pavement section design to assist development.
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 accessibility and to
pre-mark exploration locations, as required by Idaho Digline.
2) Notified Idaho Digline to locate on-site utilities, as required by Idaho state law.
3) Subcontracted a backhoe and operator to observe the excavation of 11 test pits
throughout the site.
4) Visually described, classified, and logged the soils encountered within test pits and
obtained soil samples within select test pits.
5) Performed seepage tests within select test pits to evaluate subsurface seepage
and installed slotted PVC pipe within select test pits for future groundwater
monitoring.
6) Performed laboratory tests on select soil samples to assess soil engineering
properties and characteristics.
7) Reviewed the results of the field evaluation and laboratory testing, performed
engineering analyses, and prepared this report with field and laboratory results,
subsurface logs, and geotechnical-related opinions and recommendations.
We provided our services for the project in general accordance with our geotechnical
proposal (521-497P) dated October 5, 2021.
2.0 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on electronic communication with you and review of the Conceptual Plan for
Modern Craftsman Eagle Road prepared by Bailey Engineering, Inc. dated September 5,
2021, we understand the approximate 13.6-acre site may consist of 1- to 2-story single-
and multi-family buildings/townhomes, a commercial parcel, and a pool/clubhouse area.
The development will also contain associated infrastructure, stormwater disposal
facilities, and asphalt-paved roadways, access lanes, and parking.

Existing structures and any associated infrastructure within the site are anticipated to be
demolished as part of the development. We did not review grading or structural plans, as
they were not available at the time of this proposal, but we anticipate cuts and fills for site
grading to be 2 feet or less.
This evaluation does not include recommendations for foundation construction. If
foundation-related construction recommendations are required, we can provide that
information on a building-by-building basis once we have had the opportunity to review
final development and structural/foundation plans. Any additional recommendations, if
requested, will be provided on a time-and-expense basis, and may require additional
exploration, laboratory testing, and analysis.
3.0 FIELD EVALUATION PROCEDURES
On November 10, 2021, we observed the excavation of 11 test pits to maximum depths
of 7 to 13 feet below existing ground surfaces. Maximum depths of test pits varied due to
caving conditions and excavator refusal on very dense cobbles/boulders. We identified
subsurface soil conditions, logged the subsurface soil profiles, and obtained select soil
samples for laboratory testing. We performed field seepage testing at select depths within
5 test pits to help evaluate subsurface soil seepage. At completion of exploration, the test
pits were loosely backfilled with excavated soil approximately level with existing ground
surfaces. Approximate test pit locations are shown on Figure A-2: Exploration Location
Plan in Appendix A.
4.0 SITE CONDITIONS
At the time of exploration, the overall site contained multiple residential and outbuilding-
type structures with multiple fences and corralled areas along the western half of the site
(adjacent to South Eagle Road), and undeveloped pasture/land within the eastern half of
the site. A shallow ditch transects the site from the southeast corner to the northern
portion of the site in a general northwest direction. The overall site is generally bordered
by an existing subdivision to the north and east, current assisted living facility construction
to the south, and South Eagle Road to the west.
4.1 General Geologic Conditions
The geologic conditions at the site are mapped as Gravel of Gowan Terrace (Qgg) on the
"Geologic Map of the Boise Valley and Adjoining Area, Western Snake River Plain, Idaho"
by Othberg and Stanford (1992). These soils are described as sandy pebble and cobble
gravel of the fourth terrace above the flood plain that is mantled by 3 to 7 feet of loess.
The soils encountered in test pits are generally consistent with geologic mapping.

Modern Craftsman Eagle Road Development Page 3
Meridian, Idaho
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 Elijah silt loam. These soils
generally consist of silt loam, silty clay loam, loam, cemented material, and extremely
gravelly sand. Parent materials include lacustrine deposits, loess, and/or alluvium.
The soils encountered in test pits are generally consistent with NRCS mapping.
5.0 EXPLORATION AND SAMPLING
We observed the excavation of test pits with a Case 580C rubber-tired backhoe with a 2-
foot-wide bucket. We visually described the soils encountered within test pits referencing
ASTM D 2488, which utilizes the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), and we
obtained soil samples at select depths for further identification and laboratory testing. We
performed field seepage testing within 5 test pits. We identified test pit locations on-site
with white PVC pipes and/or stakes with white flagging.
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
Appendix B and should be considered accurate to the degree implied by the method used.
5.1 Subsurface Soil Conditions
At the time of exploration, the site contained approximately 3 to 12 inches of surficial roots
and vegetation at the ground surface. In general, native subsurface soils within the
observed test pits consisted of surficial lean clay with sand, underlain by varying
thicknesses of sandy silt, sand, and gravel soils with depth. Varying levels of cementation
and induration were observed within the sandy silt, sand, and gravel soil layers.
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, 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 during
exploration, then accordingly, construction timing, plans, and costs may change.
5.2 Subsurface Water
At the time of exploration, we did not observed groundwater within test pits to maximum
depths of 7 to 13 feet below existing ground. Groundwater in the area is typically
influenced by local irrigation and nearby canals, drains, and laterals. 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).

We installed slotted PVC pipes within 10 test pits throughout the site for future
groundwater monitoring. ALLWEST will begin monthly groundwater monitoring in March
2022 to help establish seasonal high groundwater elevations throughout the site.
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, where applicable.
7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our field observations, testing, and evaluation, in our opinion the site is suitable
for the planned development, provided our recommendations are adhered to. The
following recommendations are presented to assist with planning, design, and
construction of the development relative to earthwork, utilities, stormwater disposal, and
asphalt pavement section design.
These recommendations are based on our understanding of the proposed development,
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.
7.1 Grading and Drainage
We did not review final grading plans for this development, but we anticipate site grading
will consist of cuts and fills up to 2 feet or less. We should be notified if actual site grading
varies significantly from this stated information, as it may affect our recommendations.
Final site grading should be such that surfaces slope down and drain away from any
development areas.
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, pavement
areas, structural areas, and any other development areas. In general, we
anticipate approximately 6 inches of site stripping will be required for most of the
site to remove surficial vegetation and roots, with some areas up to 12 inches.

• Where trees are encountered and will be removed as part of the development,
large root systems should be completely over-excavated and replaced with
suitable fill soils. Tree roots depths will not fully be known until construction, but
we anticipate approximately 3 to 4 feet of over-excavation will be required to
remove large tree root systems.
• Where existing structures, outbuildings, and infrastructure are located that will be
demolished as part of this development, complete over-excavation down to native
soils is required. This includes any existing drain field areas or other previously
placed fill areas. Depths and lateral limits of existing infrastructure will not fully be
known until construction. As such, the earthwork contractor should have
contingencies in place to ensure these areas are fully over-excavated within future
development areas.
• Where existing irrigation ditches/laterals are located within proposed development
areas, complete over-excavation of organic-type, loose, and soft/wet soils down to
firm or medium dense native soils is required. Depths and lateral limits of organic-
type, loose, and soft/wet soils associated with existing irrigation ditches/laterals will
not fully be known until construction. As such, the earthwork contractor should
have contingencies in place to ensure these areas are fully over-excavated within
future development areas.
• Loose test pit backfill will settle with time, so where any test pits are located below
proposed structures or any development areas, loose test pit backfill soil must be
re-excavated its entire depth and replaced with suitably moisture-conditioned and
compacted fill soils. Over-excavated soils can be reused to backfill the test pits
provided the soils are not overly saturated and can achieve the required
compaction criteria as required in section 7.6 Fill Placement and Compaction. Test
pit locations that were observed by ALLWEST are identified in the field with white
PVC pipes and/or stakes with white flagging. Approximate test pit locations are
shown on Figure A-2: Exploration Location Plan. We recommend test pit areas be
accurately surveyed so that they may be located and remediated prior to earthwork
construction and development.
• After site stripping, over-excavations, loose test pit remediation, and prior to site
grading, utility/roadway construction, or any other type of development, exposed
subgrades should be proof-rolled with a minimum of a 5-ton vibratory roller, with
loaded dump trucks, with loaded front-end loaders, or with a vibratory hoe-pack to
confirm subgrade stability. This will also assist in identifying any soft subgrade
areas. If subgrades are observed to significantly deflect or pump, the subgrade
soils should be over-excavated to firm or medium dense native soils and replaced
with properly compacted fills. As an alternative, subgrades may be stabilized as
recommended in section 7.3 Subgrade Stabilization prior to fill placement.

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 (geogrid) or woven geotextile reinforcement in conjunction with imported
granular structural fill. The required thicknesses of granular structural fill (used in
conjunction with geogrid or woven geotextile reinforcement) will be dependent on the
construction traffic loading (which is unknown at this time), the type of reinforcement
(geogrid or woven geotextile), and subgrade conditions. Therefore, a certain degree of
trial and error may be required during construction to verify recommended stabilization
section thicknesses and reinforcement types.
Geogrid reinforcement should consist of Tensar TX-160 or equivalent. Woven geotextile
reinforcement should consist of Contech C200 or equivalent. Alternatives to these
reinforcement types must be approved by the geotechnical engineer prior to use on site.
The following recommendations are provided for subgrade stabilization using
reinforcement materials.
• Reinforcement materials should be placed on a properly prepared non-disturbed
subgrade with smooth surface. Loose and disturbed soil should be removed prior
to placement of reinforcement materials.
• If geogrid reinforcement is used, a minimum weight 4-ounce, non-woven filter
fabric should be placed on the properly prepared subgrade. The geogrid
reinforcement should be placed directly on top of the filter fabric. The filter fabric
and/or reinforcement materials should be unrolled in the primary direction of fill
placement and should be over-lapped at least 3 feet, or follow manufacturer's
recommendations. Filter fabric is not required if a woven geotextile is used for
reinforcement.
• The reinforcement materials should be pulled taut to remove slack.
• Construction equipment should not be operated directly on the reinforcement
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 reinforcement material before operating
construction equipment on the fill. Low pressure, track-mounted equipment should
be used to place fill over the reinforcement materials.
• Granular structural fill placed directly over reinforcement materials should be
properly moisture-conditioned prior to placement, and once placed, be statically
rolled. This combination of filter fabric and/or reinforcement material, and granular
structural fill is considered the "bridge" section over soft subgrades.

• After the "bridge" section 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
is not thick enough, and subgrade stabilization must be attempted again with a
thicker "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 1.5H:1V
(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 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, meet the criteria below, and are moisture-conditioned and
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
percentage points 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).
For roadway and utility trench construction only, the local governing jurisdiction may
provide their own method of determining the maximum dry density and compaction
requirements (including subgrade).

any fill placement or construction.
2For roadway and utility trench construction only, the local governing jurisdiction may provide their own
method of determining the maximum dry density and compaction requirements (including subgrade).
7.7 Utility Trenches
Support soils for underground utilities will most likely consist of lean clay with sand, sandy
silt, sand, and gravel soils. These soils should provide adequate support for utilities,
provided utility subgrades are compacted utilizing vibratory methods, such as with a large
vibratory 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 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 the
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.
GEOTECHNICAL I ENVIRONMENTAL
ALLWESTMATERIALS TESTING I SPECIAL INSPECTION

Geotechnical Evaluation ALLWEST Project No. 521-497G
Modern Craftsman Eagle Road Development Page 9
Meridian, Idaho
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, compacted to requirements stated in this report.
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 areas 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 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 in test pits TP-2, -5, -7,
-8, and -11 within poorly-graded gravel with sand and cobble soils. We obtained field-
measured seepage rates of greater than 30 inches per hour (in/hr) within poorly-graded
gravel with sand and cobbles.
Due to poor and inconsistent seepage, we do not recommend stormwater disposal be
accomplished within clayey soils or soils with cementation/induration. Refer to test pit logs
in Appendix B to verify depths and contacts of cemented/indurated soils which are not
suitable for stormwater disposal.
We recommend stormwater disposal occur within the poorly-graded gravel with sand and
cobble soils observed during our field exploration. The following allowable seepage rate
should be utilized for on-site civil stormwater disposal design.
• Poorly-Graded Gravel with Sand and Cobbles ........................... 8 in/hr

Modern Craftsman Eagle Road Development Page 10
Meridian, Idaho
Stormwater disposal facilities should be constructed a minimum of 1 foot into the receiving
soil. Stormwater disposal facility drain rock and filter sand materials should 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, as required by civil design.
ALLWEST should observe stormwater disposal facility subgrades to establish if the
suitable receiving soil is encountered (based on civil design depths), to confirm the
allowable seepage rate, and to ensure the separation/filter fabric has been properly
installed (as required by civil design).
The proper separation from bottom of stormwater disposal facilities and seasonal high
groundwater should be maintained. As such, seasonal high groundwater should be
confirmed via groundwater monitoring throughout seasonal snow melt and irrigation
seasons, to assist civil stormwater design. We installed slotted PVC pipes within 10 test
pits throughout the site for future groundwater monitoring. ALLWEST will begin monthly
groundwater monitoring in March 2022 to help establish seasonal high groundwater
elevations throughout the site.
7.11 Asphalt Pavements
Prior to pavement section construction, the pavement subgrade should be proof-rolled as
recommended in section 7.2 Site Preparation (or as recommended by local jurisdictions).
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 Traffic Index(TI)
values of 6 and 8, respectively. If actual traffic conditions are different than what is stated,
we should be notified so that we may modify our pavement section design.
Based on existing site grades, it is anticipated that majority of roadway subgrade areas
will consist of lean clays with sand. We performed CBR testing on a lean clay with sand
soil for pavement section design, where we obtained a CBR of 6, which is approximately
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. 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, and for parking and access drives.

surfaces should slope at no less than 2% to help reduce the potential for surface water
infiltration into the underlying pavement sections and subgrade soils. If the overall site is
relatively flat, then finished asphalt surfaces should slope away at no less than 2% from
the crown of the roadways.
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.
8.0 ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED SERVICES
To maintain continuity and efficiency, we recommend ALLWEST be retained to provide
observations and testing throughout construction. As an independent testing company,
ALLWEST can document the recommendations included in this report are properly
implemented, provide quality control testing, and observe earthwork for conformance to
project specifications. As a minimum, we recommend the following testing and
observations be provided by ALLWEST:
• Observe site stripping; over-excavations of tree root systems, demolished
structures/infrastructure, and organic-type, loose, and soft/wet soils associated
with ditches/laterals; test pit remediation; and other over-excavations and backfills.
• Observe subgrade proof-rolling and approve subgrades prior to fill construction,
materials placement, or roadway section construction.
• Observe removal of disturbed soil and subgrade stabilization, if required.
• Observe stormwater disposal facility subgrades, confirm seepage rates by
performing large-scale seepage testing, and observe overall construction.
• Conduct compaction testing of fill soils for general site grading, utility backfills, and
pavement subsections.
• Observe placement of/test asphalt for compaction, oil content, and gradation.
If we are not retained to provide the recommended construction observation and testing
services, we shall not be responsible for soil engineering-related construction errors or
omissions.
