SECTION 02851DRILLING
PART 1 GENERAL
1.01 THE REQUIREMENT
A. The Contractor shall provide the work, materials, and equipment necessary for drilling
Production Well No. 2, a multiple cased larger diameter (20–inch OD) Floridan Aquifer
production well, complete. The well is to be of the general type and characteristics described in
the Contract Documents. A 10-inch diameter to 12¼-inch diameter pilot boring will be drilled
to determine the casing seat depths and general hydrogeologic characteristics. The exact depth
of well and length of casings will be determined in the field by the Engineer. Production Well
No. 2 will be constructed with a 30-inch OD steel surface and 20-inch OD steel final casing at a
minimum. However, based on the results of water quality analysis of water samples, the well
may be constructed with an additional steel 12-inch diameter casing set into the Lower Floridan
aquifer (LFA). The Contractor has the option to install a pit casing. The surface casing will seal
off the surficial aquifer system and be set into the top of the Hawthorn Group (to 90± feet bls,
based on hydrogeologic data derived from the existing Production Well No. 1). The next casing
will be set into the Upper Floridan aquifer (UFA) sealing off the surficial aquifer and Hawthorn
Group. Casing depth seating will be determined by review of cuttings and geophysical logging
from the pilot boring. The open hole interval is anticipated to be open to water production zones
of the UFA and LFA with a design capacity of 2,500 gpm. However, a critical objective in this
Project is to identify water quality differences in groundwater originating from the UFA and
LFA, especially total sulfides concentrations (including hydrogen sulfide). The 30-inch OD and
20-inch OD diameter casings will be installed by the mud rotary drilling method. Upon setting
of the casing through the Hawthorn Group, a 10-inch diameter to 12¼-inch diameter pilot
boring will be drilled using reverse air rotary drilling to target depth as determined by Engineer
(anticipated depth of 1,300 ± ft bls). The reaming completion of the well to total depth will be
using the reverse air rotary drilling method.
B. The well shall be drilled into aquifers containing fresh water under pressure. The site is located
in a rural area with some nearby development. Requirements will be set forth in these
Specifications regarding the handling of discharge water, drilling fluids, and cuttings.
Requirements also are set forth for controlling the flow of the well during construction and
providing a fluid management system for all drilling operations.
C. At the completion of drilling, the Contractor shall remove all equipment, which are not part of
the completed well and leave the site in as good as or better than original condition, acceptable
to the Owner.
D. The Contractor shall not proceed until the Owner’s drilling/testing fluid discharge review
process has been completed.

3.06 TEMPERATURE LOG
A. A differential and gradient temperature log shall be run from land surface to the total depth of
the well.
3.07 BOREHOLE COMPENSATED SONIC WITH VARIABLE DENSITY LOG
A. Contractor shall provide sonic logs or transmit-time logs that are a record of the travel time of
the acoustic wave from one or more transmitters to receivers in the probe. The acoustic energy
shall travel through the fluid in the well and through surrounding materials at a velocity that is
related to the lithology and porosity of the rocks. A sonic log shall be conducted in all
appropriate diameter pilot hole logging.
3.08 FLOW METER LOG
A. Contractor shall provide flow analysis at up to four station points. Their primary application is
to measure lateral flow out of the well, vertical flow within the well shall also be detected. A
flow log shall be conducted in both static and dynamic logging of the completed pilot hole.
3.09 FLUID RESISTIVITY LOG
A. Contractor shall provide fluid resistivity to measure the borehole fluid resistance to electronic
conductance. The fluid resistance shall provide an indication of water quality in the borehole,
and therefore the formation. The fluid resistance log shall measure and calculate the efficiency
with which electric current transmits through the formation fluids. Static and dynamic fluid
resistivity logs shall be conducted during the logging of the completed pilot hole.
3.10 CEMENT BOND LOGS
A. The cement bond logs (CBL) shall be a type of geophysical log that is used to determine the
quality of the cement bond between the casing and the cement grout, and between the cement
and the formation, and to infer the presence of channels in the cement behind the casing. The
cement bond logs shall be performed by lowering the logging tool down the hole while
transmitting an acoustic signal outwards towards the casing wall.
B. Travel time will be the time that it takes for the signal to travel from the transmitter, through the
casing fluid, casing, and back to the receiver. Travel time shall be used to evaluating whether
the logging tool was properly centered within the casing during the running of the CBL.
Compression-water velocity in water is much slower than in the steel casing. If the logging tool
drifted closer to the casing, then the travel path will be reduced, and thus the transit time will
also be reduced. Constant tool centralization is critical to the obtaining an interpretable CBL
because an un-centered tool will produce erratic responses. A properly centered tool will result
in a relatively straight travel time log with only minor deviations at casing joint locations.
C. The amplitude of the acoustic signal will be a measurement of the energy lost by the signal as it
passes through the casing into the cement grout. The rate of this attenuation is dependent upon
the percent of bonded cement, the casing diameter, and the thickness and material of the casing
wall. A casing that is completely un-cemented and in contact with formation fluid or drilling
mud will cause the attenuation rate to be very small and the returning amplitude will be
relatively high. In a casing section that is well bonded to the cement grout, the wave velocity
difference between the casing and cement grout will cause significant attenuation of the

West Nassau Regional Water Treatment Plant Geophysical and Color Video Logging
Phase 1B – Well Drilling & Raw Water Piping 02853 - 6
acoustic signal and the returning amplitude will be relatively low. When the tool is properly
centered, there will be a direct correlation between the amplitude response and the amount of
cement bonded to the outer casing wall, as well as the quality of the bond.
D. The total energy display is displayed as a variable density log (VDL). The VDL shall be
produced from the arrivals of the acoustic waves at a receiver. The VDL shall be used to
qualitatively assess the bond between the cement and formation and to detect the presence of
channels in the cement grout, which might allow fluids to migrate behind the casing wall.
Poorly cemented sections of casing generally have strong casing signals, whereas casing signals
are absent or weak in well-cemented sections of casing. Casing joints, which normally appear
as W-shaped “chevron” patterns, should be clearly visible in un-cemented well casings, whereas
the pattern is usually barely discernible in cemented casing.
E. The typical log responses for the four most common cement situations: (1) uncemented casing,
(2) good casing bond and good formation bond, (3) good casing bond but poor formation bond,
and (4) microannulus or channeling. A combination of good casing and formation bonding
shall be characterized by low amplitude readings, weak casing arrivals on the VDL, and strong
formation arrivals if formation attenuation is not high.
3.11 COLOR VIDEO (TELEVISION) SURVEY
A. General: Video surveys shall be conducted by a qualified service company using equipment
capable of surveying and recording the required depth. The video camera shall be centralized
within the borehole and have both side view (perpendicular to borehole) and down hole view
with color capability and sufficient light source.
B. The Contractor shall ensure that the well and borehole fluid is of sufficient clarity as determined
by the Engineer to allow a video survey to be conducted. The Contractor shall pump into (or out
of) the well or let the well flow under artesian conditions until the visibility of the entire well
bore is of sufficient clarity. All discharged waters shall be managed in accordance with the fluid
management plan listed in Section 02851.
C. While pumping in the water and during the video survey, the wells may be under artesian
pressure and may flow. The Contractor shall provide and use a stripper head assembly and any
other equipment necessary to keep any flow under control at all times.
D. Costs for pumping clear water into or out of the borehole to achieve the desired level of clarity
for the video surveys and tapes (including time spent waiting for the video equipment) and for
rig and crew labor for all activities associated with preparing for performing and dismantling
equipment related to the video survey shall be included with the Contractor’s testing costs for
Well No. 2.
E. The Contractor shall repeat the video survey at their own cost if water quality is inadequate or
the borehole is not properly conditioned, as evaluated by the Engineer.

JEA West Nassau Regional Water Treatment Plant – Phase 1B Nassau County, Florida MAE Project No. 0011-0015
Dear Mr. Rasmussen: Meskel & Associates Engineering, PLLC has completed a geotechnical exploration for the subject project. Our work was performed in general accordance with our revised proposal dated October 22, 2015. The purpose of the geotechnical exploration was to evaluate the general subsurface conditions within the area of the proposed Phase 1B improvements to the existing Water Treatment Plant to provide recommendations for foundation support and design, and site preparation. This report has been revised from the Draft report dated March 21, 2016 based on comments dated April 7, 2016 that were emailed from CDM on April 14, 2016. This report supersedes our previous report in its entirety.
In summary, the soil borings encountered generally fine sands with silt (SP-SM) and silty fine sands (SM) throughout the depths of the borings. These encountered soils appear to be adaptable for support of the proposed structures. Site preparation recommendations include clearing and stripping of existing surficial organic materials, compaction of the underlying subgrade soils, and placement and compaction of suitable structural fill in controlled lifts. The purpose of these recommendations is to provide a more uniform subgrade for support of the structures, which reduces the potential for excessive settlement.
We appreciate this opportunity to be of service as your geotechnical consultant on this phase of the project. If you have any questions, or if we may be of any further service, please contact us.

1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
1.1 Project Description
The site of the West Nassau Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is located at 77040 Robert E. Williams Drive in Yulee, Nassau County, Florida. The general site location is shown on Figure 1.
Project information was provided to us by Mr. Jeremy O’Neal and Mr. David Rasmussen, P.E of CDM Smith. This information included the planned layout of the new construction and the existing site conditions. We also received a copy of the 30 Percent Preliminary Design Report, prepared by CDM dated March 2016. Based on the provided information and our discussions, it is our understanding the proposed Phase 1B improvements will include construction of the following:
Ground Storage Tank. The 0.75-million gallon storage tank will have a diameter of 80 feet with prestressed concrete walls and a metal framed dome cover. The floor will be a cast-in-place concrete slab-on-grade, 4 inches thick.
High Service Pump Building. This metal-framed structure is approximately 53 feet by 64 feet in plan dimension, with a cast-in-place concrete floor slab. We have assumed the structure loads will be supported by turned down edges along the perimeter of the structure, as well as a thickened footing near the center of the structure running along the long axis.
Sodium Hypochlorite Storage Tank. This approximately 10-foot diameter tank will have a storage volume of 6,500 gallons. It will sit within the north half of a cast-in-place concrete slab, approximately 25 feet by 49 feet in plan area. The southern half of the slab will contain a similar tank in the future. We have assumed the slab will be 6 inches thick and will have turned-down edges along the slab perimeter and will be thickened below the tank location.
Emergency Power Generator Pad. The pad will measure approximately 16 feet by 26 feet in plan dimension. We have assumed the pad will be a cast-in-place concrete slab, approximately 3 feet in thickness.
Transformer Pad. We have assumed the pad will be 10 feet square, and will be a cast-in-place concrete slab approximately 6 to 12 inches in thickness.
Production Well No. 2. A new production well is planned east of the WTP site. A raw water line, not included in our scope of work, will connect the well to the WTP.
If actual project information varies from these conditions, then the recommendations in this report may need to be re-evaluated. Any changes in these conditions should be provided so the need for re-evaluation of our recommendations can be assessed prior to final design.
1.2 Site Observations
At the time of our field exploration, the WTP site was covered with what appeared to be a maintained grass cover. Site grading appeared to be slightly downward towards the southwest, which was confirmed with the survey information shown on the 30 Percent Plans. The surface soils were generally dry to moist, and no standing water was observed within the project area. The production well no. 2 site was moderately to heavily wooded in the area of the soil boring. The surface soils were observed to be firm and dry at the time of our field exploration. An existing stormwater pond was located east of the well site.

2.0 REVIEW OF SOIL SURVEY MAP
Based on a report from the Web Soil Survey for Nassau County Florida, as prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service, the predominate soil map unit within the WTP and production well project areas is the Sapelo-Leon fine sand. Characteristics of this map unit as reported in the Soil Survey are shown below.
Map Unit Symbol – Name Drainage Class Hydrologic
Group Depth to Water
Table
22 – Sapelo-Leon fine sand Poorly Drained B/D, A/D 6 to 18 inches
The "Water table" above refers to a saturated zone in the soil which occurs during specified months, typically occurring during the summer wet season. Estimates of the upper limit shown in the Web Soil Survey are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone, namely grayish colors (redoximorphic features) in the soil. A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month is not considered a water table. The low value and a high value indicate the range of this attribute for the soil component.
3.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
A field exploration program was performed from February 25 to March 1, 2016. The boring locations were determined by us and shown on a copy of a site plan received from CDM. The borings were located in the field by our field crew using taped measurement from existing site features as shown on the Site Plan. Once the borings were located, JEA was notified so that they could determine if there were any conflicts with existing utilities. A copy of the yard piping plan was used to show the boring locations at the WTP site on the Boring Location Plan - WTP site, Figure 2. A separate plan received from CDM was used to show the boring location on the Boring Location Plan – Production Well No. 2, Figure 2A. The locations as shown on Figure 2 and Figure 2A should be considered approximate.
3.1 SPT Borings
A total of ten Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings were drilled for the project. Nine borings (B-1 through B-9) were located at the WTP site within or near the planned improvements. Boring B-10 was located near the site of the new production well location.
The borings within the proposed Storage Tank area (B-1 through B-4) were advanced to depths of 30 and 60 feet below existing grade. The borings for the Sodium Hypochlorite Tank (B-5) and the High Service Pump building (B-6 and B-7) were advanced to a depth of 20 feet below existing grade. The boring for the emergency generator pad (B-8) was advanced to a depth of 20 feet, and the boring for the transformer pad (B-9) was advanced to a depth of 10 feet below existing grade. Boring B-10, located at the production well site, was advanced to a depth of 20 feet below existing grade.
All of the SPT borings were performed in general accordance with the methodology outlined in ASTM D 1586. In some cases, additional split-spoon samples were obtained in very loose/soft soils where the SPT “N”-value was less than 4. Split-spoon soil samples recovered during performance of the borings were visually classified in the field, and representative portions of the samples were

transported to our laboratory for classification and testing. Each boring was grouted from bottom to top with a cement grout upon completion. A summary of the field procedures used for the SPT borings is included in Appendix A.
4.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Representative soil samples obtained from the soil borings were visually classified by a geotechnical engineer in our laboratory utilizing the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) in general accordance with ASTM D 2488. A Key to the Soil Classification System is included in Appendix A.
Quantitative laboratory testing was performed on selected samples of the soils encountered during the field exploration. The purpose of the testing was to better define their composition, and to provide data for correlation to their anticipated strength and compressibility characteristics. The laboratory testing determined the following soil physical characteristics:
The natural moisture content,
The percent passing the US Sieve No. 200 (percent fines), and
Atterberg limits
The results of the laboratory testing are shown in the Summary of Laboratory Test Data table included in Appendix B. Also, these test results are shown on the Generalized Soil Profiles (Figures 3 through 5), and on the soil boring logs included in Appendix A at the respective depths from which the samples were recovered.
5.0 GENERAL SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
5.1 General Soil Profile
Graphical presentation of the generalized subsurface conditions is presented on the Generalized Soil Profiles, Figures 3 through 5. Detailed boring logs are included in Appendix A. When reviewing the Profiles and boring logs, it should be understood that the subsurface soil conditions will vary between the boring locations.
Generally, the soil borings located within the WTP site encountered relatively uniform subsurface conditions across the project area. The borings encountered a surficial topsoil layer ranging in thickness from approximately 2 to 5 inches. Below the topsoil layer, the borings encountered loose to medium dense fine sands with silt (SP-SM) and silty fine sands to depths of approximately 8 to 12 feet below the existing ground surface. Borings B-2, B-3 and B-4 encountered a 1.5 to 2-foot layer of clayey fine sands (SC) within this general stratum between depths of approximately 6 and 8 feet. This general sand stratum was underlain by very loose to loose fine sands with silt (SP-SM) and silty fine sands (SM) to a depth of approximately 18 feet below existing grade. Boring B-9 (transformer pad) was terminated within these soils.
The very loose to loose sands were underlain by medium dense to dense fine sands with silt (SP-SM). These slightly silty sands continued to the terminating depths of Borings B-2 through B-4 (30 feet) and B-5 through B-8 (20 feet). Boring B-1 (center of ground storage tank) encountered these medium dense to dense sands to a depth of approximately 52 feet, where they were underlain by hard to soft weathered limestone to the terminating depth of 60 feet below existing grade.

The boring located in the area of production well number 2 (Boring B-10) encountered a 6-inch topsoil layer, underlain by very loose to loose fine sands with silt (SP-SM) and silty fine sands (SM) to a depth of approximately 4 feet below existing grade. Below these very loose to loose sands, the boring encountered fine sands with silt (SP-SM) that ranged in relative density from loose to dense. These sands continued to the terminating depth of 20 feet below existing grade.
5.2 Groundwater Level
The groundwater table was encountered at each of the boring locations and measured at the time of drilling. The groundwater table at the boring locations within the WTP site varied between 3 and 3.8 feet below the existing ground surface. The groundwater table at the production well number 2 location (Boring B-10) was measured at a depth of approximately 1.5 feet below existing grade.
It should be anticipated that the groundwater level will fluctuate due to seasonal weather changes, surface water runoff patterns, construction operations, and other interrelated factors. The depth to the measured groundwater level is shown on the attached Generalized Soil Profiles (Figures 3 through 5), and on the soil boring logs.
5.3 Seasonal High Groundwater Level
In estimating the seasonal high groundwater level (SHGL) within the project area, a number of factors are taken into consideration including antecedent rainfall, soil redoximorphic features (i.e., soil mottling), stratigraphy (including presence of hydraulically restrictive layers), vegetative indicators, effects of development, and relief points such as drainage ditches, low-lying areas, etc.
Based on our interpretation of the current site conditions and the boring logs, we estimate the SHGL within the WTP project area to be generally 2 to 2.5 feet below the existing ground surface. We estimate the SHGL at the production well site to be approximately 6 inches to one foot below the existing ground surface. It should be understood that it is likely that current development and site use has altered the historical SHGL at the WTP site. Similarly, the existing stormwater pond to the east of the production well site may have altered the historical SHGL. Our estimate of the SHGL at both sites is solely based on our measured groundwater levels at the time of our exploration, the time of year during which these levels were measured, and the correlation of the encountered subsurface conditions with the soil map unit profile provided in the Soil Survey. The site drainage engineer should be consulted to determine how much current site activity has affected the SHGL within both project areas.
It is possible that groundwater levels may exceed the estimated SHGL as a result of significant or prolonged rains. Therefore, we recommend that design drawings and specifications account for the possibility of groundwater level variations, and construction planning should be based on the assumption that such variations will occur.
6.0 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 General
The following evaluation and recommendations are based on the provided project information as presented in this report, the results of the field exploration and laboratory testing performed, and the construction techniques recommended in Section 6.0 below. If the described project conditions are incorrect or changed after this report, or if subsurface conditions encountered during

Page | 5
construction are different from those reported, then MAE should be notified so that these recommendations can be re-evaluated and revised, if necessary. We recommend that MAE review the foundation plans and earthwork specifications to verify that the recommendations in this report have been properly interpreted and implemented.
6.2 Water Storage Tank Foundation Design Recommendations
We understand that the prestressed concrete tank will be supported on a 4-inch thick concrete slab-on-grade. Based on the results of our exploration, we consider the subsurface conditions at the site adaptable for support of the proposed Water Storage Tank structure when constructed on a properly designed floor slab system. Provided the site preparation and earthwork construction recommendations outlined in Section 6.0 of this report are performed, the following parameters may be used for foundation design.
Based on the given tank diameter of 80 feet and the tank volume of 0.75 million gallons, we calculate the maximum water height to be 20 feet. Therefore, we estimate the maximum load applied to the subgrade soils by 20 feet of stored water to be on the order of approximately 1,300 pounds per square foot (psf), not including any elevating fill. The maximum allowable soil contact pressure should be limited to 1,500 psf to keep settlement of the tank structure within the limits as estimated below.
The tank slab may bear in either the compacted suitable existing site soils (i.e., the fine sand with silt (SP-SM) soil as encountered in the borings) or within compacted structural fill. The bearing level soils, after compaction, should exhibit densities equivalent to 98 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557), to a depth of at least two feet below the slab bearing level.
6.2.1 Settlement Estimates
Post-construction settlements of the tank structure will be influenced by several interrelated factors, such as (1) subsurface stratification and strength/compressibility characteristics; (2) the bearing level, applied load, and resulting bearing pressure beneath the tank; and (3) site preparation and earthwork construction techniques used by the contractor. The settlement estimates presented below are based on the results of our field exploration at the site, laboratory test results, and the use of the site preparation/earthwork construction techniques as recommended in this report. Any deviation from these recommendations could result in an increase in the estimated post-construction settlements of the structures.
The soil borings encountered predominately sandy soils within the expected stress zone of influence for the tank structure. Therefore, we expect the majority of settlement to occur in an elastic manner and fairly rapidly during construction and initial filling of the tank. Using the estimated maximum load of the tank to the subgrade soils, and the field and laboratory test data that we have correlated to geotechnical strength and compressibility characteristics of the subsurface soils, we estimate the total settlement of the tank structure at the tank center to be on the order of 2 inches. Differential settlements result from differences in applied bearing pressures and variations in the compressibility characteristics of the subsurface soils. Because of the general uniformity of the subsurface conditions, and assuming the recommended site preparation and earthwork construction techniques outlined in Section 6.0 are followed, we estimate that the differential settlement between the center and perimeter of the tank will be on the order of 1 to 1.25 inches.

We recommend that piping, tank nozzles, and other attachments be designed with adequate consideration for the anticipated settlement.
6.3 Sodium Hypochlorite Storage Tank & High Service Pump Building Foundation Design Recommendations
Based on the results of our exploration, we consider the subsurface conditions to be adaptable for support of the proposed structures when each are constructed on properly designed shallow foundation systems. Provided the site preparation and earthwork construction recommendations outlined in Section 7.0 of this report are performed, the following parameters may be used for foundation design.
6.3.1 Bearing Pressure
The maximum allowable net soil bearing pressure for use in turned-down edge monolithic slab or thickened portion of the slab design should not exceed 3,000 psf. Net bearing pressure is defined as the soil bearing pressure at the foundation bearing level in excess of the natural overburden pressure at that level. The foundations should be designed based on the maximum load that could be imposed by all loading conditions.
6.3.2 Foundation Size
The minimum width recommended for the turned down edge portion of a monolithic slab or the thickened portion bearing on the subgrade soils is 16 inches. Even though the maximum allowable soil bearing pressure may not be achieved, these width recommendations should control the size of the foundations.
6.3.3 Bearing Depth
The exterior turned down edge of the monolithic slab or the thickened portion should bear at a depth of at least 12 inches below the adjacent final grades to provide confinement to the bearing level soils. It is recommended that stormwater be diverted away from the building exterior to reduce the possibility of erosion beneath the exterior footings.
6.3.4 Bearing Material
The turned down edges of the monolithic slabs may bear in either the compacted suitable existing site soils (i.e., the fine sand with silt (SP-SM) soil as encountered in the borings or compacted structural fill. The bearing level soils for the spread footings and turned down edges of the monolithic slabs, after compaction, should exhibit densities equivalent to 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557), to a depth of at least one foot below the foundation bearing levels.
6.3.5 Settlement Estimates
Post-construction settlements of the structures will be influenced by several interrelated factors, such as (1) subsurface stratification and strength/compressibility characteristics; (2) footing size, bearing level, applied loads, and resulting bearing pressures beneath the foundations; and (3) site preparation and earthwork construction techniques used by the contractor. Our settlement

Page | 7
estimates for the structure are based on the use of site preparation/earthwork construction techniques as recommended in Section 6.0 of this report. Any deviation from these recommendations could result in an increase in the estimated post-construction settlements of the structure.
Due to the sandy nature of the soils within the expected influence of the foundations, we expect the majority of settlement to occur in an elastic manner and fairly rapidly during construction. Using the recommended maximum bearing pressure, the supplied structural details, and the field and laboratory test data that we have correlated to geotechnical strength and compressibility characteristics of the subsurface soils, we estimate that total settlements of the structures could be on the order of one inch or less.
Differential settlements result from differences in applied bearing pressures and variations in the compressibility characteristics of the subsurface soils. Because of the general uniformity of the subsurface conditions and the recommended site preparation and earthwork construction techniques outlined in Section 6.0, we anticipate that differential settlements of the structures should be one-half inch or less.
6.4 Structure Slabs-On-Grade
The monolithic slabs for the Sodium Hypochlorite Storage Tank and High Service Pump structures, as well as the slabs for the generator and transformer pads, can be constructed as slabs-on-ground, provided unsuitable materials are removed and replaced with compacted structural fill as outlined in Section 6.0. It is recommended that the slab bearing soils for any climate controlled areas be covered with an impervious membrane to reduce moisture entry and floor dampness. A 6-mil thick plastic membrane is commonly used for this purpose. Care should be exercised not to tear large sections of the membrane during placement of reinforcing steel and concrete. In addition, we recommend that a minimum separation of 2 feet be maintained between the finished floor levels and the estimated SHGL.
A modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 pci can be used for design of concrete slabs bearing on sandy soils compacted to 98 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557, AASHTO T-180) value.
These parameters are based on a clean sand subgrade (SP, SP-SM) with an average angle of internal friction (ɸ) of 30 degrees (cohesion = 0) and a total unit weight (γ) of 115 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). This assumes that the subgrade soils are compacted in accordance with the recommendations presented below.
6.5 Site Seismic Classification
The 2006 International Building Code (IBC), Section 1613 Earthquake Loads – Site Ground Motion, indicates that the Maximum Considered Earthquake Ground Motion Contours of Spectral Response vary across Florida as follows:
0.2-Second Period Spectral Response Acceleration: (Figure 1613.5.(1)): Contour 5 (South Florida) to Contour 15 (Northern Florida) 1-Second Period Spectral Response Acceleration (Figure 1613.5.(2)): Contour 2 (South Florida) to Contour 6 (Northern Florida)
In comparison, some of the most earthquake prone areas of the United States, including in the

Charleston area of South Carolina and central Mississippi River Valley area, contours for categories 1 and 2 above vary from 150 to 200 and 30 to 100, respectively.
Specifically for the project site, based on a review of the 2006 IBC, Section 1613, the seismic classifications for the subsurface materials as encountered at the boring locations were estimated as shown below.
Site Classification: D, Stiff Soil Profile: The Site Classification was determined based on an average N-value (standard penetration resistance, N) for the site of N=14 based on the results of boring B-1 (1)
Earthquake Spectral Response Acceleration at Short Periods: Ss = 15%g (as determined in Section 1613.5.1) ( 2)
Earthquake Spectral Response Acceleration at 1-second Period: Sl = 6%g (as determined in Section 1613.5.1) (3)
7.0 SITE PREPARATION AND EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS
Site preparation as outlined in this section should be performed to provide more uniform foundation bearing conditions and reduce the potential for post-construction settlements of the planned structures.
7.1 Clearing and Stripping
Prior to construction, the location of existing underground utility lines within the construction area should be established. Provisions should then be made to relocate interfering utilities to appropriate locations. It should be noted that, if underground pipes are not properly removed or plugged, they may serve as conduits for subsurface erosion, which may subsequently lead to excessive settlement of overlying structures.
The "footprint" of the proposed structures, plus a minimum additional margin of 5 feet, should be stripped of all surface vegetation, stumps, debris, organic topsoil, or other deleterious materials. During grubbing operations, roots with a diameter greater than 0.5-inch, stumps, or small roots in a concentrated state, should be grubbed and completely removed.
Based on the results of the soil borings, it should be anticipated that about 2 to 5 inches of soils containing significant amounts of organic materials (roots, grasses) will be encountered across the WTP site, and up to 6 inches of topsoil at the production well site. The actual depths of unsuitable soils and materials should be determined by MAE using visual observation and judgment during earthwork operations. Organic materials removed from the structure areas can be stockpiled and used subsequently in areas to be grassed.
7.2 Temporary Groundwater Control
The groundwater level was encountered at depths varying from approximately 3 to 3.8 feet below the existing ground surface at the WTP site, and at 1.5 feet at the production well site, at the time of our exploration. Based on our understanding of the planned construction, it is possible that control

of groundwater may be necessary. Should groundwater control measures become necessary, the dewatering method should be determined by the contractor. We recommend that the groundwater control measures, if necessary, maintain the groundwater level at least 2 feet below the compacted surface and remain in place until compaction of the existing soils is completed. The site should be graded to direct surface water runoff from the construction area.
7.3 Compaction
After completing the clearing and stripping operations, and after installing the temporary groundwater control measures if required, the exposed surface area should be compacted with a vibratory drum roller having a minimum static, at-drum weight, on the order of 10 tons. Due to the proximity of the existing structures at the WTP site, compaction should be done with the roller operating in the static, non-vibratory mode. Typically, the material should exhibit moisture contents within ±2 percent of the modified Proctor optimum moisture content (ASTM D 1557) during the compaction operations. Compaction should continue until densities of at least 98 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) have been achieved within the upper two feet of the compacted natural soils at the site for the proposed tank. This may require that the upper 12 inches of the soils be removed to allow compaction of the lower one-foot of the subgrade soil. Once compaction is achieved, the excavated soils should be placed and compacted. The stripped subgrade soils for the remaining structures should be compacted to 98 percent of their maximum dry density within the upper one foot.
Should the bearing level soils experience pumping and soil strength loss during the compaction operations, compaction work should be immediately terminated. The disturbed soils should be removed and backfilled with dry structural fill soils, which are then compacted, or the excess moisture content within the disturbed soils should be allowed to dissipate before recompacting.
7.4 Survey of Existing Structures
Care should be exercised to avoid damaging any nearby structures while the compaction operation is underway. Prior to commencing compaction, occupants of adjacent structures should be notified, and the existing conditions of the structures should be documented with photographs and survey Compaction should cease if deemed detrimental to adjacent structures, and Meskel & Associates Engineering should be contacted immediately. We recommend that vibration monitoring be performed on existing structures during the entire use of any vibratory equipment at the site.
It is recommended that the vibratory roller remain a minimum of 75 feet from existing structures. Within this zone, use of a track-mounted bulldozer or a vibratory roller, operating in the static mode, is recommended. If such methods are used, then it may be necessary to excavate the top foot of soil subgrade, following site clearing, and compact the underlying soils to the specified level of compaction, followed by re-placement and compaction of the excavated soil, to achieve the 2-foot zone of compacted subgrade soil below the structures.
7.5 Structural Backfill and Fill Soils
Any structural backfill or fill required for site development should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 12 inches in thickness and compacted by the use of the above described vibratory drum roller. The lift thickness should be reduced to 8 inches if the roller operates in the static mode or if track-mounted compaction equipment is used. If hand-held compaction equipment is used, the lift thickness should be further reduced to 6 inches.

Structural fill is defined as a non-plastic, inorganic, granular soil having less than 12 percent material passing the No. 200 mesh sieve and containing less than 4 percent organic material. The fine sands and fine sands with silt, without roots, as encountered in the borings, are suitable as fill materials and, with proper moisture control, should densify using conventional compaction methods. It should be noted that soils with more than 12 percent passing the No. 200 sieve will be more difficult to compact, due to their nature to retain soil moisture, and may require drying. Typically, the material should exhibit moisture contents within ±2 percent of the modified Proctor optimum moisture content (ASTM D 1557) during the compaction operations. Compaction should continue until densities of at least 98 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) have been achieved within each lift of the compacted structural fill.
7.6 Foundation Areas
After satisfactory placement and compaction of the required structural fill, the foundation areas may be excavated to the planned bearing levels. The bearing level soils for spread footings and the turned down edges for monolithic slabs, after compaction, should exhibit densities equivalent to 98 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557), to a depth of one foot below the bearing level. The bearing level soils for the generator and transformer pads should exhibit densities of 98 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density following compaction, to a depth of one foot below the bearing level. For confined areas, such as the footing excavations, any additional compaction operations can probably best be performed by the use of a lightweight vibratory sled or roller having a total weight on the order of 500 to 2,000 pounds.
8.0 QUALITY CONTROL TESTING
For all structures, a representative number of field in-place density tests should be made in the upper one foot of compacted natural soils, in each lift of compacted backfill and fill, in the upper 12 inches of compacted subgrade soil in the foundation areas. The density tests are considered necessary to verify that satisfactory compaction operations have been performed. We recommend density testing be performed at one location for every 2,000 square feet of building or slab area, with a minimum of one location per structure.

FIELD EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) Borings
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) boring(s) were performed in general accordance with
the latest revision of ASTM D 1586, “Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils.”
The borings were advanced by rotary drilling techniques. A split-barrel sampler was
inserted to the borehole bottom and driven 18 to 24 inches into the soil using a 140 pound
hammer falling an average of 30 inches per hammer blow. The number of hammer blows
for the final 12 inches of penetration (18” sample) or for the sum of the middle 12 inches of
penetration (24” sample) is termed the “penetration resistance, blow count, or N-value.”
This value is an index to several in-situ geotechnical properties of the material tested, such
as relative density and Young’s Modulus.
After driving the sampler, it was retrieved from the borehole and representative samples of
the material within the split-barrel were containerized and sealed. After completing the
drilling operations, the samples for each boring were transported to the laboratory where
they were examined by our engineer in order to verify the field classification.

K E Y T O B O R I N G L O G S – U S C S
S o i l C l a s s i f i c a t i o n
Soil classification of samples obtained at the boring locations is based on the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Coarse grained soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve. Their principal descriptors are: sand, cobbles and boulders. Fine grained soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve. They are principally described as clays if they are plastic and silts if they are slightly to non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are defined on the basis of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.

Natural Moisture Content
The water content of the tested sample was determined in general accordance with the
latest revision of ASTM D 2216. The water content is defined as the ratio of “pore” or “free”
water in a given mass of material to the mass of solid material particles.
Atterberg Limits
The Atterberg Limits consist of the Liquid Limit (LL) and the Plastic Limit (PL). The LL and
PL were determined in general accordance with the latest revision of ASTM D 4318. The LL
is the water content of the material denoting the boundary between the liquid and plastic
states. The PL is the water content denoting the boundary between the plastic and semi-
solid states. The Plasticity Index (PI) is the range of water content over which a soil
behaves plastically and is denoted numerically by the difference between the LL and the
PL. The water content of the sample tested was determined in general accordance with the
latest revision of ASTM D 2216. The water content is defined as the ration of “pore” or
“free” water in a given mass of material to the mass of solid material particles.
