1.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is a 154.74-acre parcel with a frontage along the east side of South Muskogee Avenue (U.S. 62) located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The project site is bounded by U.S. 62 to the west, Willis Road to the south, South Park Hill Road to the East, and the Cherokee Springs golf course to the North.

At the time of the field exploration, the majority of the site was covered with grass, weeds, and brush, with some isolated small trees scattered throughout the property. Three existing detention ponds were located within the north east portion of the site; two northern ponds with an area of about 29,000 and 90,000 square feet, and a relatively larger southern pond with area of about 325,000 square feet. The detention ponds appear to be associated with the Cherokee Springs golf course. A drainage feature extends in a west to east direction through the central portion of the site, towards the southern detention pond. Some limestone outcroppings were noted at the ground surface within the central portion of the project site. Based on review of site survey information, and observations during the site reconnaissance, the ground surface at the project site generally slopes downward from the north and central portion of the site from an elevation of about +815 to relatively low lying areas with elevations ranging from about +794 to +800 feet near the western boundary of the site, and within the southwest and east-central portions of the site. However, the southeast portion of the site forms a hillside with a high point ground surface elevation about 35 to 40 feet (approximate elevation of +847 feet) above the ground surface elevations within the remainder of the site. The general surface conditions are shown below in Figure 2.

Figure 2: General Site Surface Conditions (Image taken from SE corner facing NW)

Utility markings on the ground surface indicated the presence of underground water and natural gas lines. The utility markings indicated a water line running east to west within the northern portion of the project site, and a gas line running east to west outside the northeast boundary of the site. A gas meter was noted near the northeast corner of the

site. Overhead power lines were noted running east to west across the central portion of the site, and running southwest to northeast from the southwest corner of the site to the central portion of the eastern boundary of the site. The site appears to be poorly drained, with water generally draining to the relatively low lying areas near the western boundary of the site, southwest portion of the project site, and eastern portion of the site. A large area of ponding water was noted within the relatively low lying area within the eastern portion of the site, just west of the southern detention pond. Areas of ponding water were also observed within the relatively low lying areas along the western frontage of the site, and southwest portion of the site. A drainage ditch was also noted running north to south along U.S. 62, which was full of water at the time of the subsurface exploration. The ponding water observed within the southwest portion of the site is shown below in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Ponding Water within Southwest Portion of Site (Image taken 01/08/2015 facing NE)

Historical satellite imagery was reviewed to determine prior uses of the site and any significant changes within the proposed project area. The presence of stocked hay bales was noted in the historical imagery, indicating the site may have been used for livestock farming. The historical satellite imagery indicates the southern detention pond was constructed during the period of time between 1995 and 2003, and a relatively large area

Based on the information provided to our office, we understand the proposed project will include three development phases. Phase 1 includes the development of three retail pad sites within the west-central portion of the project site (Retail Pads 6 through 8), retail pads along the western frontage (Frontage Pads), and two auto sales lots within the southwest portion of the proposed development area. Phase 2 includes the development of the relocated Cherokee Casino Tahlequah, a hotel and convention center (Anchor Site) within the central portion of the site, and a new golf clubhouse building located north of the anchor site. A grand entry boulevard (Primary Corridor) will also be constructed as part of Phase 2, and is designed to focus traffic flow towards the anchor site as a visual focal point of the entire development. Phase 3 incorporates the retail strip centers to be located along the primary corridor (Retail Pads 1 through 5), just east of the proposed frontage pads. This phase also includes a second, multi-story hotel building located north of the anchor site, and a new retail/office building, and new office buildings and flex office buildings located south of the anchor site.

There are no building/foundation plans or specifications, but it has been assumed that all pad sites will be single story retail buildings and the auto sales lots will have showrooms, offices and service bays with a high frequency of traffic. For the purpose of this report we assume maximum column loads will be in the range of 40 to 50 kips, and maximum continuous footing loads may be in the range of 2 to 2.5 kips per linear foot. The names of the tenants for each retail and office lot were not provided to us at the time of preparing this report. In our experience, each tenant will have their own specific design criteria for building pad preparation. Building & Earth can review these criteria upon receipt of tenant specifications and incorporate the requirements into the geotechnical recommendations for each particular lot. Typical preliminary grading and site development recommendations are included in this report. We assume the buildings within the anchor site and multi-story hotel will be subjected to moderate to high column loads, and as such, the subsurface exploration within the anchor site and multi-story hotel focused on evaluation of suitable bearing materials for deep foundation systems. A conceptual site grading plan, undated, prepared by CGA Engineers was also provided to our office by Mr. Patrick Wilson, P.E., of CGA Engineers. The anticipated grading based on the contours shown on the conceptual site grading plan is provided in the table below.

Based on the information provided to our office, we understand new parking areas, access drives, and access roadways will be part of the new development. The primary access for the development will be a primary corridor located at the existing intersection of U.S. 62 and Southridge Road. A south access collector street will intersect Willis Road to the south, and an east access collector street will intersect Park Hill Road to the east. Preliminary pavement recommendations will be provided for standard duty (passenger car parking areas), medium duty (service drives used by passenger cars, maintenance vehicles, and occasional light delivery box trucks), and heavy-duty (primary corridor off U.S. 62, south and east access collector streets) sections based on the following assumed design criteria:

We understand that new detention pond areas will be constructed as part of the planned development. According to the information provided to our office, consideration is given to an area west of the existing detention ponds. The new detention pond areas were explored as part of our subsurface exploration. The number of detention areas and their plan dimension and depth were not known at this time. The south east portion of the site was included in the subsurface exploration only to determine if subsurface material were suitable for use as potential borrow materials. It should be emphasized that the subsurface exploration and geotechnical recommendations presented in this report were completed and prepared based on a conceptual Master Plan prepared by Cherokee Nation Businesses, LLC. The geotechnical recommendations should be considered preliminary until Building & Earth has had the opportunity to review final civil and structural design plans. Depending on the design plans, supplemental subsurface exploration and geotechnical recommendations may be warranted in order to present final geotechnical recommendations.

2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES The purpose of the preliminary geotechnical exploration was to determine general subsurface conditions at specific boring locations and to gather data on which to base a geotechnical evaluation with respect to the proposed construction. The information gathered from the exploration was evaluated to present general considerations for a suitable foundation types for the proposed buildings. The information was also evaluated to help determine if any special subgrade preparation procedures will be required during the earthwork phase of the project. The work included soil test borings, laboratory analysis, engineering analyses, and preparation of the geotechnical report. The preliminary recommendations and considerations presented in this report are based on the limited site development information provided to us and information obtained from the subsurface exploration and laboratory analysis. The results of the work are presented within this report that addresses: • General site geology.

• Summary of existing surface conditions.

• A description of the subsurface conditions encountered at the soil test boring locations.

• A description of the groundwater conditions observed in the boreholes during drilling, and water levels in open boreholes 24-hours after completion of drilling. Long-term groundwater monitoring was not included in this scope.

• Presentation of laboratory test results.

• Site preparation considerations including material types to be expected at the site, treatment of any encountered unsuitable soils, excavation considerations, and surface drainage.

• Evaluation of the subsurface materials encountered in the borings drilled within the potential borrow source area for use as structural fill within the planned building and pavement areas.

• General considerations to assist with planning of building foundations, including appropriate foundation types, bearing pressures, and depths.

• Presentation of expected total and differential settlements, and recommendations to reduce the expected movements, if appropriate.

• Recommendations to be used for design of slabs-on-grade, including modulus of subgrade reaction.

• Seismic site classification, based on the SPT data and in general accordance with the 2009 International Building Code.

• Compaction requirements and recommended criteria to establish suitable material for structural backfill.

3.0 GENERAL SITE GEOLOGY Published geologic literature indicates the site is located near the boundary of the Mississippian Age Keokuk Formation and Pitkin Formation. The Keokuk Formation consists of massive, white to bluff, gray-mottled, fossiliferous chert. Irregular stringers and masses of blue-gray, dense, finely crystalline limestone are present locally. The formation is characterized by its brittleness and brecciated character. It weathers tripolitic and locally is iron stained. The thickness ranges from about 50 to 150 feet, the upper portion having been removed by erosion over most of the area. The Pitkin Formation is a predominantly medium- to dark-gray, dense to finely crystalline limestone that contains abundant medium- to dark-gray oolites, and in places, fine sand. Thin beds of dark gray to grayish black shale are present within the formation. The basal contact of the formation is conformable. The thickness of the Pitkin Limestone ranges from a thin edge to over 400 feet. The average thickness is about 50 feet in the west and about 200 feet in the east. The subsurface conditions encountered in the borings correlate with a combination of the Keokuk Formation and Pitkin Formation, as shown in the General Site Geologic Plan provided in the Appendix. It should be noted that the boundary of the geological units as shown on the referenced plan is to be considered approximate. The alignment of the boundary was not field verified nor was the attached plan geo-referenced. The boundary of the geological units will likely vary from that shown on the plan.

4.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION The subsurface exploration was performed on January 12 through 17, 2015 in general conformance with our Proposal No. OK16304, dated December 16, 2014. The subsurface exploration consisted of fifty-six (56) soil test borings. The borings were planned to be drilled to depths ranging from about 10 feet to 25 feet below the existing ground surface. The majority of the borings encountered auger refusal at depths ranging from about 1.5 to 11.5 feet. Relatively shallow auger refusal was encountered in Borings AD-04, B-02, B-03, CC-05, O-02, and O-03 at depths ranging from about 1.5 to 5 feet below the existing ground surface. The boring locations were marked in the field and ground surface elevations at the boring locations were determined by a professional survey crew. The locations of the borings and ground surface elevations at the boring locations should be considered accurate only to degree implied by the methods used to obtain them. A summary of boring information is provided in the Appendix of this report. The borings were drilled by Mohawk Drilling, Inc. using a rubber tired ATV-mounted CME-550X drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers and an automatic hammer. The drill rig was also equipped with NQ size rock coring tools. 4.1 SPLIT SPOON SAMPLING At each boring location, soil samples were obtained at standard sampling intervals by driving a split-tube sampler. A box with an “x” in the “Samples” column of the attached boring logs indicates the depths at which the split-spoon samples were obtained. The borehole was first advanced to the sample depth by augering and the sampling tools were placed in the open hole. The sampler was then driven 18 inches into the ground with a 140 pound hammer free-falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler each 6-inch increment was recorded. The initial increment is considered the “seating” blows, where the sampler penetrates loose or disturbed soil in the bottom of the borehole. The blows required to penetrate the final two increments were added together and are referred to as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) N-Value. Automatic hammers deliver higher energy efficiency (80 to 85 percent) than the manual hammer (safety hammer, 60 percent efficient). Therefore, an energy correction factor was taken into consideration with regard to the recorded field N-values for the purpose of our evaluation. The N-values discussed or mentioned in this report and shown on the boring logs are recorded field values. The N-Value, when properly evaluated, gives an indication of the soil’s strength and ability to support structural loads. Many factors can affect the

11

Page 16: REPORT OF P S E G E P C S P T O E P N OK150004€¦ · report of preliminary subsurface exploration. and geotechnical evaluation. proposed cherokee springs plaza. t. ahlequah, o

SPT N-Value, so this result cannot be used exclusively to evaluate soil conditions. SPT testing was done in general accordance with ASTM D 1586.

The samples retrieved from the split-tube sampler were placed in plastic bags, labeled, and transported to the Building & Earth’s soils laboratory. The samples were then visually classified and Boring Logs were prepared to summarize the subsurface conditions at each borehole location. The Boring Logs are included in the Appendix of this report.

4.2 ROCK CORING

At depths of auger refusal, rock coring procedures were used to advance eight (8) of the borings (AD-03, CC-02 through CC-04, DP-02, FO-02, H-02, and RP-12) through the rock units.

The coring was performed in general accordance with ASTM D2113. Following the coring operations, the rock cores were placed in boxes at the site, and transported to our laboratory for identification and classification. At the laboratory, the rock was identified and the “recovery” and “rock quality designation” (RQD) was determined. The recovery is the ratio of the length of sample obtained, to the length of the run cored, as a percent. The RQD is the percentage of the length of the core run which has rock segments of moderately hard or harder rock four inches or greater in length, compared to the total length of the run. The percent recovery and RQD are related to rock soundness and continuity. Generalized rock descriptions, percent recovery, and RQD values are shown on the Boring Log in the Appendix of this report.

4.3 TEST PITS

Thirty-nine (39) supplemental test pit excavations were completed within the proposed borrow area on February 5, 2015. A geotechnical engineer of Building & Earth witnessed the test pits being excavated by an operator using a John Deere D190 excavator. The test pits extended to depths ranging from about 0.5 to 9 feet below the existing ground surface. The different soil types removed from the test pit excavation and exposed in the sides of the excavation were recorded in the field based on visual-manual soil classification methods. Two bulk samples were collected from the test pit locations for Atterberg Limits testing. The test pit locations are shown on the Boreholes/Test Pits Location Map prepared by CGA Engineers provided in Appendix C of this report.

5.0 LABORATORY ANALYSES After the soil samples were visually classified, the project engineer selected representative samples for laboratory analysis. The laboratory analysis included Atterberg Limits tests, No. 200 sieve wash analyses, organic content tests, and natural moisture content determinations. Compressive strength tests were also performed on intact rock cores. The results of the laboratory analysis are presented in the summary table presented at the end of this section and on the appropriate boring logs included in the Appendix of this report. A brief description of each laboratory test performed is provided in the following sections.

5.1 DESCRIPTION OF SOILS (VISUAL-MANUAL PROCEDURE (ASTM D 2488) The soil samples were visually examined in our laboratory to provide soil descriptions. Representative samples were then selected and tested in accordance with the aforementioned laboratory testing program to determine soil classifications and engineering properties. This data was used to correlate the visual descriptions with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).

5.2 NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT (ASTM D 2216) Natural moisture contents were determined on selected samples. The natural moisture content is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the weight of water in a given amount of soil to the weight of solid particles.

5.3 ATTERBERG LIMITS (ASTM D 4318) Atterberg limits tests were performed to evaluate the plasticity characteristics of the soil and shale units. The Plasticity Index (PI) is representative of this characteristic and is bracketed by the Liquid Limit (LL) and the Plastic Limit (PL). The LL is the moisture content at which the soil will flow as a heavy viscous fluid. The PL is the moisture content at which the soil is between “plastic” and the semi-solid stage. The Plasticity Index (PI = LL - PL) is a frequently used indicator for the volume change potential of soil. Typically, the potential for volume change of soil increases with higher plasticity indices. 5.4 NO. 200 SIEVE WASH (ASTM D 1140) Grain-size tests were performed to determine the partial soil particle size distribution. The amount of material finer than the openings on the No. 200 sieve (0.074 mm) was determined by washing soil over the No. 200 sieve.

5.5 ORGANIC CONTENT (ASTM D 2974)

Organic content testing was performed on a selected sample of soil. Ash content of an organic soil sample, for general purposes, is determined by igniting oven dried sample from moisture content determination in a furnace heated to a temperature of 440 ± 40°C. The organic content is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the weight of organic matter in a given amount of soil to the weight of the dry soil particles. The laboratory results of organic content tests performed on selected samples are tabulated below.

5.6 COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF INTACT ROCK CORES (ASTM D 2938) Seven (7) rock core specimens were selected and cut to length, the ends were capped, and then each core was placed in a loading frame. Axial load is applied to the core and continuously increased until peak load and failure occur. The compressive strength of each test specimen is based on the maximum compressive load on the core and the initial computed cross-sectional area. Rock core compressive strength tests were performed on intact rock core specimens collected from the borings. The results of compressive strength tests are presented in Section 6.5.3.

6.0 GEOTECHNICAL SITE CHARACTERIZATION The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by observing and classifying soil samples obtained from fifty-six (56) widely spaced soil test borings. The conditions between the boreholes are assumed to be similar to the conditions encountered at the borehole locations. Generalized subsurface profiles have been prepared using data from the soil test borings. The profiles graphically depict the general soil conditions and strata type encountered at the specific boring locations. However, due to the variability of the soils at the site, the profile may not depict all conditions and strata changes within the subject area. The following discussion regarding subsurface conditions and the subsequent recommendations are based on the supposition that no significant changes in subsurface condition occur between boreholes. The presumed conditions should be verified during site preparation and foundation installation. 6.1 SURFACE CONDITIONS As discussed in Section 1.0, the majority of the site was covered with grass, weeds, and brush, with some isolated small trees. The site appears to be poorly drained, with ponding water noted along the western boundary of the site, west of the existing pond, and within the southwest portion of the site. The topsoil thickness ranged from about 2 to 36 inches at the boring and test pit locations, with thicknesses ranging from about 12 to 24 inches encountered across the majority of the site. The organic content in the topsoil ranged from about 2.6 to 5.0 percent. It should be noted that topsoil thicknesses could vary significantly at unexplored locations. 6.2 OVERBURDEN SOILS Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the soil test borings drilled within the extent of the planned development, two distinctly different types of overburden soils were encountered:

- Higher plasticity lean to fat clay and fat clay soils generally underlain by the limestone units; and

- Sandy clays with chert gravel and clayey chert gravel and cobbles (brecciated chert) generally associated with the Keokuk Formation.

The borings (B-01 through B-04) and test pits performed within the potential borrow source area, flex office building areas (FO-01 through FO-04), golf clubhouse area (GH),

and the borings drilled at the south end of the proposed south access roadway (SA-03 and SA-04) generally encountered overburden soils associated with cherts of the Keokuk Formation. Exceptions were noted at Borings FO-01, FO-02, H-01, and H-02, where a layer of lean to fat clay (CL-CH) and fat clay (CH) soils were encountered below the topsoil, underlain by brecciated chert and cherty limestone. Borings RP-01 and RP-06 encountered a combination of CL soils associated with the Keokuk Formation, and CL-CH and CH soils associated with the Pitkin Formation. The other borings drilled for the development encountered the residual clay soils associated with the Pitkin Formation. 6.2.1 PITKIN FORMATION RESIDUAL SOILS

The residual soils generally consisted of lean to fat clay (CL-CH) and fat clay (CH) soils ranging in color from yellowish brown, orange, and gray mottled to brown and yellowish brown, to gray, dark gray, and orange-brown. Black ferrous nodules, calcareous nodules, and small weathered sandstone fragments were noted within the residual clay soils. The residual clay soils extended to depths ranging from about 4.5 to 14.5 feet below existing grades. The clays exhibited very soft to very stiff consistencies with SPT N-values ranging from 2 to 13 bpf. Very soft to soft clay soils with SPT N-values ranging from 2 to 4 bpf were encountered in Borings FP-05, FP-06, and PC-03 extending to depths of about 2 to 2.5 feet below the existing ground surface, and in Borings DP-01, DP-02, and RP-10 extending to a depth of about 4 feet. SPT N-values could not be determined in the very soft soils in Borings DP-01, DP-02, and FP-05 with the splitspoon sampler being pushed into the soils at the bottom of the boring under the weight of the 140-lb automatic hammer only (Weight of Hammer “WOH”). The moisture contents of the clay soils ranged from about 18 to 37 percent. The lean to fat clays and fat clays had liquid limit values ranging from 45 to 59, plastic limit values ranging from 18 to 23, and plasticity index values ranging from 26 to 37. 6.2.2 KEOKUK FORMATION CLAY SOILS AND BRECCIATED CHERT

Clay Soils These overburden soils generally consist of lean clay and gravelly lean clay (CL) soils with varying amounts of chert fragments extending to depths of about 1.5 to 8.5 feet below existing grades. The lean clays were generally underlain by brecciated chert gravel. The clays were generally yellowish brown, orange-brown, reddish brown and gray in color. SPT N-values of 7 and 8 bpf were recorded in these lean clay soils, indicating firm to stiff consistencies. The gravelly clay soils generally exhibited very stiff consistency,

17

Page 22: REPORT OF P S E G E P C S P T O E P N OK150004€¦ · report of preliminary subsurface exploration. and geotechnical evaluation. proposed cherokee springs plaza. t. ahlequah, o

with SPT N-values ranging from 16 to 27 bpf. Atterberg limits tests performed on the lean clays indicated liquid limit values ranging from 32 to 36, plastic limit values ranging from 16 to 19, and plasticity index values ranging from 16 to 18. The moisture contents of the clay soils ranged from about 11 to 23 percent. Brecciated Chert Brecciated chert gravel was encountered below the topsoil in Borings B-01 through B-04, FO-01, FO-03, GH, and below the residual clay soils in Borings B-03, B-04, SA-03, and SA-04. Auger refusal was encountered on apparent brecciated chert boulders in Borings B-02, B-03, FO-01 through FO-04, GH, SA-03, and SA-04 at depths ranging from about 1.5 to 11 feet below the existing ground surface. Relatively shallow auger refusal was encountered in Borings B-02 and B-03, within the proposed borrow area, at depths of about 1.5 and 4.5 feet. Borings B-01 and B-04 were advanced through the brecciated chert to the planned depths of about 14 and 20 feet. SPT sampling was performed at the auger refusal depths and encountered SPT refusal with 50 blows required for 1 to 1½ inches of penetration. The brecciated chert ranged in size from gravel to boulders with various amounts of sand and clays. The chert gravel was generally medium dense to very dense, with SPT N-values ranging from 16 to 74 bpf. Some relatively soft clay seams were noted within the chert gravel layer in Boring B-01 at a depth of about 9 feet, and in Boring B-04 between depths of about 13 feet to 20 feet below the existing ground surface. SPT refusal was encountered on apparent cobbles within the chert, requiring 50 blows for 1½ inches of penetration to 61 blows for 8¼ inches of penetration. The nature of the chert material at auger refusal could not be fully determined from the limited recovery of the disturbed samples, and rock coring drilling procedures were used to advance Boring FO-02 below the auger refusal depth of about 8 feet through the brecciated chert unit to a depth of about 15 feet below the existing ground surface. Brecciated chert is comprised of gravelly clay, clayey gravelly chert, cobbles and boulders. The rock coring runs within the chert had relatively low recovery of 30 and 48 percent, and RQD of about 20 percent, due to the highly fractured nature of the unit and the presence of apparent clay seams and layers washed out by the rock coring process. The recovered brecciated chert was generally white and gray in color, with traces of red clay infill. 6.3 AUGER REFUSAL Auger refusal is the drilling depth at which the borehole can no longer be advanced using the drill rig and hollow stem auger drilling procedures. The approximate auger

refusal depths and elevations in the borings drilled for this project are provided in Table in the Appendix of this report. 6.4 WEATHERED SHALE UNIT A layer of highly weathered shale was encountered below the residual clays at Borings AD-03, AD-05, DP-01, FP-01, RP-01, and RP-04 between depths of about 6.5 and 14 feet. The highly weathered shale was brown to gray-brown, yellowish brown and brown, and gray and orange in color. Some limestone fragments and lenses, and sandstone seams were noted through the highly weathered layer. The SPT N-values within the highly weathered shale ranged from 11 bpf to 80 blows for 8½ inches of penetration. Weathered shale was encountered in Borings PC-01 and SA-01 extending to an auger refusal depth of about 9 feet in Boring PC-01 and boring termination depth of about 9 feet in Boring SA-01. The weathered shale was generally yellowish brown and brown in color. SPT refusal was encountered in the weathered shale, requiring 50 blows for 2½ to 5 inches of penetration. 6.5 LIMESTONE UNITS Hard limestone was encountered in the borings below the residual soils and highly weathered to weathered shale at depths ranging from about 3.5 to 14.5 feet below the existing ground surface. Auger refusal was generally encountered in the limestone, and SPT refusal was encountered in the limestone at the auger refusal depths, with 50 blows required for ½ to 5 inches of penetration. Rock coring procedures were used to advance Borings AD-03, CC-02 through CC-04, DP-02, H-02, and RP-12 through the limestone units. The geologic formation of the limestone units could not be fully determined from the disturbed samples due to limited recovery. However, examination of intact rock core indicated the presence of two distinctly different limestone units below the overburden soils; a crystalline limestone likely associated with the Pitkin Formation, and a cherty limestone likely associated with the Keokuk Formation. The two limestone units are discussed in the following sections. 6.5.1 CRYSTALLINE LIMESTONE

The crystalline limestone was encountered in Borings AD-03, CC-02 through CC-04, DP-02, and RP-12 below the residual soils and highly weathered to weathered shale units. These borings were generally terminated within this limestone unit. Exceptions were noted in Borings CC-02 and CC-03 where the crystalline limestone unit extended to a depth of about 22 feet, underlain by the cherty limestone unit.

19

Page 24: REPORT OF P S E G E P C S P T O E P N OK150004€¦ · report of preliminary subsurface exploration. and geotechnical evaluation. proposed cherokee springs plaza. t. ahlequah, o

The limestone was gray to light gray in color, and generally medium bedded, with closed to slightly open bedding joints and occasional shaly partings. Boring CC-03 encountered a dark gray, shaly limestone layer between depths of about 13 to 19 feet. Boring CC-04 encountered an apparent clay filled seam within the limestone between depths of about 7.3 to 8.5 feet, and a seam of dark gray weathered shale between depths of about 17.5 to 18.5 feet. Recovery of coring runs within the crystalline limestone unit ranged from about 70 to 100 percent. The RQD of the crystalline limestone generally ranged from about 73 to 99 percent, indicating good to excellent quality rock. An exception was noted in the upper rock core run in Boring CC-02, where an RQD value of 61 percent was recorded due to the presence of an apparent clay seam within the limestone. Compression tests on three intact rock core specimens indicated the crystalline limestone is very hard with compressive strengths ranging from about 6,830 to 7,730 psi. One compression test was performed on the dark gray shaly limestone from Boring CC-02 with a compressive strength of about 6,900 psi. 6.5.2 CHERTY LIMESTONE

The cherty limestone was encountered below the residual soils in Boring H-02 at a depth of about 13.5 feet, and below the gray, crystalline limestone in Borings CC-02 and CC-03 at a depth of 22 feet. Borings H-02, CC-02, and CC-03 were terminated within the cherty limestone unit. The cherty limestone was light gray to gray in color, with small vugs, which are irregularly shaped pores within the intact rock material, noted in the intact rock cores. This limestone was thin to medium bedded, with slightly open bedding joints. Recovery of coring runs within the cherty limestone unit ranged from about 88 to 100 percent. The RQD of the cherty limestone ranged from about 78 to 100 percent, indicating good to excellent quality rock. Compression tests on three intact rock core specimens indicated the cherty limestone is very hard with compressive strengths ranging from about 7,740 to 10,190 psi.

6.6 GROUNDWATER IN BOREHOLES Groundwater was encountered while drilling and free water was measured in boreholes at completion of drilling and/or at least 24 hours following completion of drilling at the boring locations as listed in the table below. Shallow perched water was encountered within the topsoil at the interface with the underlying higher plasticity fat clay soils within portions of the site, particularly within the area of the proposed auto sales lots (AD-02) and office building (O-03). In addition, groundwater was noted at the interface of the overburden clay soils and the underlying limestone formation. It should be noted that Borings AD-03, CC-02 through CC-04, DP-02, FO-02, H-02, and RP-12 were drilled with rock core drilling methods, which introduced drilling fluid into the borehole making groundwater measurements upon completion of drilling impractical. The other borings were dry during and at completion of drilling.

Fluctuations in the water level can occur due to seasonal rainfall. Water levels as observed during drilling are accurate for only the time and date that the boring was drilled. Short term groundwater level readings may not accurately reflect the actual groundwater levels at the borings.

It should be emphasized that the subsurface exploration and geotechnical recommendations presented in this report were completed and prepared based on a conceptual Master Plan prepared by Cherokee Nation Businesses, LLC. The geotechnical recommendations should be considered preliminary until Building & Earth has had the opportunity to review final civil and structural design plans. Depending on the design plans, supplemental subsurface exploration and geotechnical recommendations may be warranted in order to present final geotechnical recommendations.

Primary geotechnical considerations for development of the project site include:

• The presence of topsoil with thickness typically ranging from about 12 to 24 inches encountered in the borings across the site.

• The presence of moderate to high plasticity residual clay soils with moderate to high shrink/swell potential encountered across the site.

• The presence of perched water conditions at the interface of the topsoil with underlying residual clay soils, and at the interface of the overburden soils and the underlying limestone unit.

• The presence of auger refusal material (limestone and brecciated chert) at depths of about 1.5 to 11.5 feet below existing ground surface.

• The presence of hard limestone and cherty limestone units encountered at depths ranging from about 3.5 to 14.5 feet below the existing ground surface.

• The brecciated chert, ranging in size from gravel to boulders within the proposed borrow area within explored depth of 20 feet.

7.1 INITIAL SITE PREPARATION Existing vegetation, trees, and root systems should be removed from the construction areas. Soils disturbed during grubbing should be undercut to undisturbed material and replaced with structural fill. Grass, topsoil and any other deleterious materials should be stripped and removed from the construction areas. The topsoil thickness across the site generally ranged from about 2 to 36 inches, with thicknesses ranging from about 12 to 24 inches encountered across the majority of the site. A geotechnical engineer should observe stripping and grubbing operations to evaluate that all unsuitable materials are removed from proposed construction areas. During site preparation activities, the contractor should identify borrow source materials that will be used as structural fill and provide samples to the testing laboratory so appropriate moisture-density relationship curves can be determined. 7.2 MOISTURE SENSITIVE SOILS Portions of the lean clay soils encountered in the borings at the site are extremely moisture sensitive, and will degrade if allowed to become saturated; therefore, not allowing water to pond as well as maintaining positive drainage and temporary dewatering methods (if required) is important to avoid additional, deeper undercuts.

25

Page 30: REPORT OF P S E G E P C S P T O E P N OK150004€¦ · report of preliminary subsurface exploration. and geotechnical evaluation. proposed cherokee springs plaza. t. ahlequah, o

The contractor should anticipate some difficulty during the earthwork phase of this project if moisture levels are moderate to high during construction. Increased moisture levels will soften the subgrade and the soils may become unstable under the influence of construction traffic. Unstable surficial soils identified during construction should be undercut to stable materials prior to fill placement or stabilized. 7.3 BUILDING PAD PREPARATION

The following recommendations are intended to provide for uniform subgrade conditions suitable to support slabs-on-grade and to reduce the risk of the presence of soft to firm consistency soils and moderate to high plasticity clay soils at bottom of footings. A summary of subgrade preparation is also provided in Appendix A of this report. 7.3.1 VERY SOFT TO SOFT CLAY SOILS

Very soft to soft clay soils with SPT N-values ranging from 2 to 4 bpf were encountered in Borings FP-05, FP-06, and PC-03 extending to depths of about 2 to 2.5 feet below the existing ground surface, and in Borings DP-01, DP-02, and RP-10 extending to a depth of about 4 feet. Very soft clay soils were encountered within portions of the site exhibited by the splitspoon sampler being pushed into the soils at the bottom of the boring under the weight of the 140-lb automatic hammer only (Weight of Hammer “WOH”). The very soft to soft clay soils should also be anticipated in unexplored areas of the site. Following initial site preparation, we anticipate very soft to soft overburden clay soils typically consisting of lean clay (CL), lean to fat clay (CL-CH), and fat clay (CH) soils to be exposed at subgrade level. The very soft to firm near-surface clay soils extended from below the topsoil to depths ranging from about 2 to 4 feet below existing grades. These clay soils are compressible with a low shear strength and are not a stable platform for start of fill placement; as such, they need to be undercut full-depth within all proposed building and pavement areas prior to structural fill placement. 7.3.2 MODERATE TO HIGH PLASTICITY CLAY SOILS

Residual lean to fat clay (CL-CH and fat clay (CH) soils, exhibiting moderate to high plasticity characteristics, were encountered below the topsoil across the site. The lean to fat clays and fat clays had liquid limit values ranging from 45 to 59, plastic limit values ranging from 18 to 23, and plasticity index values ranging from 26 to 37. Materials with a liquid limit value greater than 45 and a plasticity index value greater than 25 are considered moderately to highly plastic. These materials tend to undergo volume changes when subjected to moisture variations. The potential vertical rise of the onsite clay soils was evaluated using the Texas Department of Transportation’s test

26

method TEX-124-E, Potential Vertical Rise (PVR). This semi-empirical method estimates the PVR of the clay soils based on the plasticity characteristics, soil moisture levels at the time of the subsurface exploration, thickness of the clay strata, and surcharge loads. For this project site, an active zone of 8 feet was used in the calculations. A surcharge load of 0.5 psi was considered for the floor slab and recommended clean aggregate base that will serve as capillary moisture break. The TexDOT method estimates a PVR on the order of 1½ inches for floor slabs directly supported on the residual clay soils. Soil moisture contents will fluctuate with seasonal climate changes and when they are exposed to the elements during construction. Based on the Potential Vertical Rise (PVR) calculations, at least 30 inches of lower plasticity structural fill material must be placed within the proposed building areas. The lower plasticity fill should extend at least 5 feet beyond the perimeter of the proposed buildings. Placement of the recommended minimum amount of lower plasticity structural fill will reduce the PVR to 1 inch or less. 7.3.3 LIMESTONE AND BRECCIATED CHERT Based on the anticipated cuts within the southwest portion of the anchor site, we expect the hard limestone unit to be exposed at final subgrade level. We expect brecciated chert to be exposed within the flex office building footprint. The brecciated chert ranged in size from gravel to boulders with various amounts of sand and clays. Where the brecciated chert is exposed at final subgrade elevation, there is a risk that excavation of cobbles and boulders may leave voids and an uneven surface. In order to provide for uniform subgrade conditions for support of floor slabs where limestone and brecciated chert is exposed at subgrade level, we recommend the limestone and chert be undercut to a level allowing for placement of 12 inches of structural fill below grade supported slabs. 7.3.4 CUT SUBGRADE PREPARATION AND EVALUATION Following the recommended amounts of undercutting and prior to placement of fill, we anticipate that a combination of firm to stiff, moderate to high plasticity residual clay soils, brecciated chert gravel, and limestone will be exposed across the proposed construction areas. Depending on the moisture content of the exposed clay soils, moisture conditioning may be required prior to proofrolling or fill placement. The exposed clay soils should be scarified to a depth of 8 inches, moisture conditioned to within range of 0% below to 4% above the optimum moisture content and recompacted to at least 95% of the material’s maximum dry density (Standard Proctor ASTM D 698).

27

Page 32: REPORT OF P S E G E P C S P T O E P N OK150004€¦ · report of preliminary subsurface exploration. and geotechnical evaluation. proposed cherokee springs plaza. t. ahlequah, o

The exposed brecciated chert gravel should be moisture conditioned to within range of 1% below to 2% above the optimum moisture content and recompacted to at least 95% of the material’s Standard Proctor. In areas where limestone or brecciated chert boulders are exposed at subgrade level, scarification and moisture conditioning will not be required. All building areas should then be carefully proofrolled with a loaded, tandem-axle dump truck with gross weight of 25 tons prior to fill placement. The proofrolling will help identify unstable and/or soft subgrade materials. Soft and/or unstable materials identified during the proofrolling or subgrade evaluation process should be moisture conditioned, undercut to suitable material, or stabilized in place prior to fill placement or new construction. Information regarding suitable stabilization methods can be provided during construction, based on actual conditions encountered. 7.4 PAVEMENT SUBGRADE PREPARATION Depending on the final design grades, properly compacted lower plasticity structural fill, or higher plasticity residual clay soils, or limestone and brecciated chert are anticipated to be exposed. The higher plasticity clay soils are not suitable to support the proposed pavement sections due to their shrink/swell potential with moisture content fluctuations. Because of the moderate to high shrink-swell potential of the onsite clay soils, chemical stabilization of the subgrade soils is recommended as outlined in the Section 7.5.1. In lieu of chemically stabilizing the onsite clay soils, consideration can be given to providing at least 12 inches of properly compacted and approved lower plasticity structural fill below the pavement sections. Where limestone and brecciated chert is exposed at pavement subgrade level, we recommend the limestone and chert be undercut to a level allowing for placement of 8 inches of chemically stabilized onsite clay soils or structural fill below pavements. 7.5 STRUCTURAL FILL We recommend the structural fill placed within building and pavement areas should be composed of soil with a Plasticity Index (PI) less than 18 and a Liquid Limit (LL) less than 40 and should classify as lean clay or sandy lean clay (CL), clayey sand (SC), or clayey gravel (GC). All structural fill materials should be free of any organics, should not contain rock fragments greater than 3 inches in any dimension, and should be properly moisture conditioned prior to placement. Any fill to be placed at the site should be approved by the geotechnical engineer.

Material native to the region that may not meet the above structural fill criteria may be used if it contains more than 60% cherty sand and gravel retained on a No. 200 sieve (with maximum particle size of 3 inches in the upper 30 inches of the building/structure pad, and 6 inches elsewhere) and is approved by the geotechnical engineer. Bulk samples of such material should be provided for, but not necessarily limited to, particle size analysis, Atterberg limits, and moisture-density relationship testing. When used within proposed pavement areas, the lower plasticity structural fill should have a soaked California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of at least 5. The onsite clay soils encountered within the extent of the Pitkin Formation do not appear to be suitable for use as structural fill within the proposed building and pavement areas. Although some of the samples of topsoil meet the Atterberg Limit criteria, the organic content in the topsoil ranged from about 2.6 to 5.0 percent. Materials with organic content in excess of 3 to 4 percent should not be considered for use as structural fill. The near-surface soils could possibly be used as “general” fill within green areas of the development for which no plans exist to construct buildings and pavement. However, the owner needs to understand that future construction within areas where the near-surface soils are used as “general” fill, undercutting will likely be required to prepare a suitable building pad and/or pavement subgrade. The orange-brown lean clays (CL) encountered in the test pits within the potential borrow area extending to depths of about 1.5 to 9 feet appear to be suitable for use as lower plasticity structural fill. However, the underlying brecciated chert appears to contain cobbles and boulders which are not recommended for use as structural fill. The lean clay soils were encountered in the test pits highlighted green in the Test Pit Log Summary provided in the Appendix. The on-site lean to fat clay (CL-CH) and fat clay (CH) soils may be suitable for use as clay liners for construction of the detention ponds. When using onsite higher plasticity clay soils for a clay liner, the clay soils should be moisture conditioned to within range of 0 to 4% above the optimum moisture content, and they should be free of organics and rock fragments. The structural fill should be compacted to a minimum of 95% of the Standard Proctor maximum dry density and moisture conditioned to within ±2% of the optimum moisture content. The specifications should state that both density and moisture requirements should be met. The lifts should not exceed 8 to 12 inches thick, depending on the

compaction equipment used. Density and moisture tests should be performed on each lift prior to placement of subsequent lifts. In lieu of importing lower plasticity structural fill for construction of the building pad and pavement subgrade, consideration can be given to chemically stabilizing the onsite moderate to high plasticity, lean to fat clay and fat clay soils per recommendation presented in Section 7.5.1. 7.5.1 CHEMICAL STABILIZATION In lieu of importing lower plasticity structural fill material for construction of the building pad and preparation of the pavement subgrade, consideration can be given to chemically stabilizing the onsite moderate to high plasticity, lean to fat clay and fat clay soils with lime to reduce the plasticity index (PI) to less than 15. Based on our experience with clay soils similar to those encountered at the project site, estimated quantities of chemical additives based on soil dry weight are tabulated below. Laboratory tests should be performed on bulk samples of onsite clay soils and a chemical additive provided by the supplier at the start of the construction phase to evaluate the optimum amount of stabilizing agent. We further recommend that the supplier of the proposed chemical additive submit a current chemical analysis report for review and approval by the geotechnical engineer.

Lime kiln dust (LKD), Carbide Lime, and Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) from pre-calciner plants have also been successfully used with moderate to high plasticity clay soils to reduce their plasticity and shrink-swell potential to within acceptable level. However, the composition of these chemical additives varies depending on the source from which they are provided. Further laboratory testing is recommended to estimate needed concentrations for these types of chemical additive when considered for this project. Building & Earth can assist with this service prior to start of construction. Chemical stabilization of the higher plasticity clay soils should be performed in accordance with the applicable specifications of the Oklahoma Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, 2009 edition.

7.6 UTILITY TRENCH BACKFILL All utility trenches in the building and pavement areas must be backfilled and compacted in the manner specified above for structural fill. It may be necessary to reduce the lift thickness to 4 to 6 inches to achieve compaction using hand-operated equipment. 7.7 BENCHING EXISTING SLOPES Existing slopes within the project site steeper than 5 Horizontal to 1 Vertical, 5(H): 1(V), and located in fill areas should be benched prior to fill placement. Benching of the slopes provides interlocking between the new fill and on-site materials and facilitates compaction of the fill. Benches should be cut as the fill placement progresses and should have a maximum bench height of 2 to 3 feet. Special attention should be given to rock units within the cut slopes, which may require additional drainage measures to intercept and divert groundwater flow from the slope. 7.8 EXCAVATION CONSIDERATIONS

7.8.1 EXCAVATION DIFFICULTY Gravelly clay and brecciated chert gravel was encountered below the topsoil in Borings B-01 through B-04, FO-01, FO-03, GH, and below the residual clay soils in Borings B-03, B-04, SA-03, and SA-04. The brecciated chert ranged in size from gravel to boulders with various amounts of sand and clays. Auger refusal was encountered on apparent brecciated chert boulders in Borings B-02, B-03, FO-01 through FO-04, GH, SA-03, and SA-04 at depths ranging from about 1.5 to 11 feet below the existing ground surface. Based on the information gathered during our subsurface exploration, we anticipate this material can be excavated using a large trackhoe equipped with rock teeth in good working condition. The contractor should anticipate the presence of chert cobbles and large boulders within the material, and heavy chert seams and layers within the brecciated chert will likely pose excavation difficulty. Hard rock excavation techniques should be anticipated within the underlying limestone units encountered in the borings at depths ranging from about 4.5 to 14 feet across the site. Excavation of this limestone unit will require a pneumatic hammer attachment and a large trackhoe similar to a Caterpillar 690 equipped with rock teeth. The bedding thickness of the limestone will increase with increasing depth, likely requiring blasting for excavations extending into the limestone formation. The ability to excavate hard rock is a function of the material, the equipment used, the skill of the operator, the desired rate of removal and other factors. The contractor should review the boring logs and should use his own method to evaluate excavation difficulty.

7.8.2 PERCHED WATER/GROUNDWATER As discussed in Section 6.7, perched water and groundwater was encountered in the borings across the site during the subsurface exploration. Shallow perched water within the topsoil at the interface with the underlying higher plasticity residual clay soils was encountered within part of the site, particularly within the area of the proposed auto sales lots (AD-02) and office building (O-03). In addition, groundwater was noted at the interface of the overburden clay soils and the underlying limestone formation. The contractor must be prepared to dewater excavations to remove any perched water or groundwater. 7.9 LANDSCAPING AND DRAINAGE CONSIDERATION

The potential for soil moisture fluctuations within building areas and pavement subgrades should be lessened in order to reduce the potential of subgrade movement. Site grading should include positive drainage away from buildings and pavements. Ponding of water adjacent to buildings and pavements could result in soil moisture increases and subsequent swelling of the soils. Landscaping and irrigation immediately adjacent to buildings and pavements should be limited. Trees can develop large root systems which can draw water from subgrade soils, resulting in subsequent shrinkage of the soils. Periodic irrigation of landscaping poses a risk of saturating and softening soils below shallow footings and pavements, which could result in settlement of footings and premature failure of pavements. 7.10 WET WEATHER CONSTRUCTION

Cooler temperatures and shorter days during the winter season significantly reduce the capacity to dry out wet clayey soils. Additionally, excessive movement of construction equipment across the site during wet weather will result in ruts, which will collect rainwater, prolonging the time required to dry the subgrade soils. During rainy periods, additional effort will be required to properly prepare the site and establish/maintain an acceptable subgrade. The difficulty will increase in areas where clay or silty soils are exposed at the subgrade elevation. Grading contractors typically postpone grading operations during wet weather to wait for conditions that are more favorable. Contractors can typically disk or aerate the upper soils to promote drying during intermittent periods of favorable weather. When deadlines restrict postponement of grading operations, additional measures such as undercutting and replacing saturated soils or stabilization can be utilized to facilitate placement of additional fill material.

8.0 PRELIMINARY FOUNDATION CONSIDERATIONS As discussed in Section 1.0, it has been assumed that all pad sites will be single story retail buildings and the auto sales lots will have showrooms, offices and service bays with a high frequency of traffic. For the purpose of this report we assume maximum column loads will be in the range of 40 to 50 kips, and maximum continuous footing loads may be in the range of 2 to 2.5 kips per linear foot. The names of the tenants for each retail and office lot were not provided to us at the time of preparing this report. We assume the buildings within the anchor site and multi-story hotel will be subjected to moderate to high column loads, and as such, the subsurface exploration within the anchor site and multi-story hotel focused on evaluation of suitable bearing materials for deep foundation systems. In our experience, each tenant will have their own specific design criteria for building pad preparation. Building & Earth can review these criteria upon receipt of tenant specifications and incorporate the requirements into the geotechnical recommendations for each particular lot. Typical preliminary grading and site development recommendations are included in this report. The retail and office buildings planned as part of the development will be subjected to light column loads. Consideration can be given to supporting the lightly loaded retail and office buildings on shallow continuous footings and spread footings. Due to the relatively high column loads and risk for excessive total and differential settlements, a shallow foundation system is not recommended for support of the anchor site and hotel buildings. Based on the anticipated high structural loading conditions, the proposed anchor site buildings should be supported on a deep foundation system consisting of drilled piers. We anticipate the multi-story hotel building to be subjected to high column loads. Boring H-01 encountered auger refusal on apparent brecciated chert, and Boring H-02 encountered a competent cherty limestone unit. The brecciated chert unit (auger refusal material) encountered across the site was found to be comprised of broken chert ranging in size from gravel to boulders with varying degrees of weathering and amounts of clay lenses throughout its matrix. The material is highly abrasive and does not provide for proper end bearing support of deep foundation elements such as drilled piers, auger cast piles, driven piles, and micro piles. Therefore, based on the limited information from the widely spaced borings, consideration can be given to supporting the proposed structures on shallow strip and spread footings resting on existing soil reinforced by aggregate pier systems. The following sections present geotechnical considerations to assist with planning of the various types of foundations.

8.1 SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS (RETAIL AND OFFICE BUILDINGS) Provided that the site preparation recommendations presented in Section 7.0 of this report are followed, the site conditions are suitable for support of the proposed lightly loaded retail and office buildings on shallow continuous footings for load bearing walls and isolated spread footings for column loads. As discussed in the Section 7.3 of this report, the proposed building areas must receive at least 30 inches of lower plasticity structural fill to reduce the PVR to 1 inch or less. When providing the recommended minimum thickness of lower plasticity structural fill, the proposed retail buildings can be supported on shallow footings and conventional grade supported slabs. Footings bearing in firm to very stiff, undisturbed residual clay soils, or properly compacted and approved structural fill (compacted to 95% of Standard Proctor maximum dry density) can be dimensioned for a maximum net allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf). The high plasticity residual fat clays (CH) encountered at the site have a high shrink-swell potential. As such, post-construction soil moisture increases below footing level will likely result in heave of footings (edge lift condition) and post-construction soil moisture decreases below footing level will likely result in settlement of footings (center lift condition). Although the recommended thickness of structural fill within the building areas will aid in lessening the risk of excessive total and differential vertical movements, it will not eliminate the risk. The recommendations presented in Section 7.10 of this report should be considered to reduce the risk of post-construction soil moisture changes. Thorough evaluation of the bearing materials exposed in the footing excavations during construction is recommended to verify the suitability of the subsurface soils for the support of shallow footings. The evaluation should include dynamic cone penetration testing to a depth at least one footing width below the bearing elevation to evaluate the allowable bearing capacity of the bearing materials at the time of construction. Soils that do not meet the recommended bearing capacity should be delineated and undercut to suitable material or a depth equivalent to at least the footing width, whichever occurs first, and replaced with approved structural fill. Lateral over-excavation of unsuitable soils should extend 8 inches beyond the edges of the footing for each foot of undercut depth below design bearing elevation. The footings should then be brought back up to design bearing elevation using properly compacted, approved structural fill. Brecciated chert gravel was encountered below the topsoil in the flex office building area (FO-01 and FO-03) and the golf clubhouse (GH). The brecciated chert ranged in

34

Page 39: REPORT OF P S E G E P C S P T O E P N OK150004€¦ · report of preliminary subsurface exploration. and geotechnical evaluation. proposed cherokee springs plaza. t. ahlequah, o

size from gravel to boulders with various amounts of sand and clays. Where the brecciated chert is exposed at footing elevation, there is a risk that excavation of cobbles and boulders may leave voids and an uneven surface. In order to provide for uniform subgrade conditions for support of footings in the brecciated chert, we recommend the footings excavations be undercut to a level to allow for placement of 8 inches of structural fill below footings. The highly plastic clays (CH) encountered at the site are generally considered an unsuitable bearing strata for shallow footings due to the potential for vertical movement with post-construction changes in soil moisture conditions. Perimeter and exterior footings bearing in CH soils should extend at least 3 feet below finished exterior grade to reduce the risk of shrink/swell effects from seasonal soil moisture changes. Even though computed footing dimensions may be less, column footings should be at least 24 inches wide and strip footings should be at least 16 inches wide. These dimensions facilitate hand cleaning of footing subgrades disturbed by the excavation process and the placement of reinforcing steel. They also reduce the potential for localized punching shear failure. Total long-term settlement of spread footings supported as recommended above are not expected to exceed 1 inch. Differential movement between isolated spread footings or any two points along a continuous footing spaced a distance of 40 feet will be less than ½ inch. The following items should be considered during the preparation of construction documents and foundation installation: The geotechnical engineer of record should observe the exposed foundation

bearing surfaces prior to concrete placement to verify that the conditions anticipated during the subsurface exploration are encountered.

All bearing surfaces must be free of soft or loose soil prior to placing concrete.

Concrete should be placed the same day the excavations are completed and bearing materials verified by the engineer. If the excavations are left open for an extended period, or if the bearing surfaces are disturbed after the initial observation, then the bearing surfaces should be re-evaluated prior to concrete placement.

Water should not be allowed to pond in foundation excavations prior to concrete placement or above the concrete after the foundation is completed.

Wherever possible, the foundation concrete should be placed “neat”, using the sides of the excavations as forms. Where this is not possible, the excavations

35

Page 40: REPORT OF P S E G E P C S P T O E P N OK150004€¦ · report of preliminary subsurface exploration. and geotechnical evaluation. proposed cherokee springs plaza. t. ahlequah, o

created by forming the foundations must be backfilled with suitable structural fill and properly compacted.

The building pad should be sloped to drain away from the building foundations.

Roof drains should be routed away from the foundation soils.

8.2 DRILLED PIER AND GRADE BEAM FOUNDATION SYSTEM The proposed convention center, hotel, and casino buildings supported on drilled piers should be socketed into the hard limestone unit, free of voids and clay layers. The piers must extend through the overburden soils, and highly weathered to weathered shale and socketed at least 12 inches into the competent limestone unit in order to ensure the limestone is fully exposed in the base of the drilled pier foundations. The top of the limestone unit recommended for the pier socket was encountered within the anchor site (CC-01 through CC-05) at depths of about 3.5 to 10.5 feet below the top of existing ground surface. The piers should have a minimum diameter of 18 inches for this project. The geotechnical engineer of record should observe the exposed foundation bearing surfaces prior to concrete placement to verify that the conditions anticipated during the subsurface exploration are encountered. Test holes must be performed in order to verify rock continuity. A minimum of one 2-inch diameter test hole should be drilled in each pier excavation. The test hole should be drilled in the center of the pier excavation, and should extend a minimum of twice the pier diameter, or 10 feet, whichever is greater. Bearing elevations will be adjusted based on actual conditions encountered. Drilled piers socketed into the recommended limestone unit and using concrete with a compressive strength of at least 3,500 psi can be designed using the recommended maximum allowable end bearing pressures, allowable skin friction for compression load resistance and allowable skin friction for uplift resistance for that portion of the circumference of the pier in direct contact with the recommended limestone unit per the recommended allowable values presented in the table on the next page.

It should be noted that the depth to the recommended limestone unit varies across the project area and that actual depths encountered during construction could be greater within unexplored areas of the site than those reported on the boring logs. The geotechnical engineer of record must verify the actual depths to the limestone unit during installation of the drilled piers. Drilled piers designed and constructed as recommended above could experience an estimated total long-term settlement on the order of ½ inch or less.

Conventional drilling rigs equipped with augers and rock teeth should be able to penetrate the residual clay soils, and highly weathered to weathered shale (where encountered). Excavation difficulty will likely be experienced in the limestone unit, requiring the need for a core barrel to advance the drilled shaft to the design bearing elevation.

The drilled pier excavations must be observed by an experienced geotechnical engineer, geologist or engineering technician to evaluate the suitability of the bearing material. The base of all drilled pier excavations should be free of water and loose material prior to placing concrete. Groundwater was encountered during drilling at depths ranging from about 4.5 to 11.5 feet in Borings CC-01 through CC-04, and Boring H-02. The shallow water levels encountered in the borings may indicate perched water conditions at the interface of the overburden soils and the underlying limestone unit. Free water was measured at a depth of about 9.5 feet upon completion of drilling in Boring CC-05. When water is encountered during drilled pier installations, temporary casing will be required to seal off the groundwater. The contractor should maintain an adequate head of concrete within the temporary casing above the groundwater level during its extraction from the drilled shaft to reduce the risk of contaminating the fresh concrete with groundwater. Concrete should be placed the same day the excavations are completed and bearing materials verified by the engineer. If the excavations are left open for an extended period, or if the bearing surfaces are disturbed after the initial observation, the bearing surfaces should be re-evaluated prior to concrete placement. Structural grade beams spanning over the drilled piers can be used to support load bearing walls or other movement sensitive walls of the proposed buildings. We anticipate the grade beams will be supported on new structural fill. Proper placement and compaction of fill is critical to reduce the risk of post-construction settlement that potentially could result in the formation of voids below grade beam and pier caps spanning the drilled pier elements. Considering the presence of highly plastic clay soils with a high shrink-swell potential, a minimum 4-inch void space should be provided between the bottom of the grade beams and the underlying residual clay soils. Voids can be provided by cardboard forms.

8.3 IN-PLACE SOIL IMPROVEMENT USING AGGREGATE PIER SYSTEMS Based on the structural loading and subsurface conditions within the hotel building area, consideration can be given to supporting the proposed structure on shallow strip and spread footings resting on existing soil reinforced by aggregate piers. We recommend that aggregate piers be supported on top of the limestone and brecciated chert encountered at depths ranging from about 8 to 13.5 feet below existing ground surface. The aggregate pier elements are typically constructed by drilling 24- to 36-inch diameter holes to suitable material (limestone or very dense brecciated chert encountered at depths of about 8 to 13.5 feet in the borings) then building a bottom bulb of clean, open-graded stone. The aggregate pier shaft is built on top of the bottom bulb, using well-graded crushed stone placed in thin lifts (typically 12-inches compacted thickness). Compaction densifies the aggregate and increases the lateral stress in the surrounding soil matrix. The system serves to reduce settlement by replacing and reinforcing the residual clay soils in the 8 to 13.5 feet below the footing with a stiffer composite soil matrix. The structure is then supported on a shallow foundation system typically sized for allowable bearing pressure in the range of 4 to 6 ksf. The design and performance criteria for these systems are typically provided by the installation contractor. Aggregate pier systems are proprietary foundation systems and should be designed and constructed by a licensed company. The installer should provide detailed design calculations sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Oklahoma. Estimates from the design calculations should demonstrate that soil reinforcement from the particular method selected will control long-term settlements to less than 1 inch total and ½ inch differential. The design parameters should be verified by a full-scale “load” test performed in the field. Building & Earth should be retained to monitor the modulus test and subsequent production aggregate pier installations. Other factors, such as damage to existing structures due to vibrations or displacement stresses, should also be addressed. After the overburden soils have been improved utilizing aggregate pier systems, the proposed building can be supported on conventional spread and continuous wall footings. An allowable bearing pressure will be developed by the installer as part of the design of the aggregate pier systems, but as stated previously, will likely be on the order of 4,000 to 6,000 psf.

9.0 FLOOR SLABS Site grading recommendations presented in Section 7.0 of this report should be followed to provide for subgrade conditions suitable for support of grade supported slabs. Following undercutting of the very soft to firm clay soils and moderate to high plasticity clay soils, all grade supported slabs will be supported on at least 30 inches of evaluated and approved lower plasticity structural fill. Floor slabs for the proposed building should be supported on a minimum four-inch thick compacted layer of free-draining, granular material, such as No. 57 stone. The purpose of this layer is to serve as a leveling course and act as a capillary break for moisture migration through the subgrade soil. Depending on the proposed floor covering, consideration should be given to the use of a polyethylene vapor barrier. An effective modulus of subgrade reaction of 130 pci can be used in the design of grade supported building floor slabs.

10.0 SEISMIC SITE CLASSIFICATION Based on the 2009 Edition of the International Building Code, the subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, and our knowledge of the geologic conditions of the site, we recommend that the site be classified as Site Class C. Our subsurface exploration extended to a maximum depth of about 25 feet.

11.0 SUBGRADE REHABILITATION The subgrade soils often become disturbed during the period between initial site grading and construction of surface improvements. The amount and depth of disturbance will vary with soil type, weather conditions, construction traffic, and drainage. The engineer should evaluate the subgrade soil during final grading and prior to stone placement to verify that the subgrade is suitable to receive pavement base or floor slabs. The final evaluation may include proofrolling or density tests. Subgrade rehabilitation can become a point of controversy when different contractors are responsible for mass and final grading. The construction documents could specifically state which contractor will be responsible for maintaining and rehabilitating the subgrade. Rehabilitation may include wetting, mixing, and recompacting soils that have dried excessively or drying soils that have become wet.

12.0 PRELIMINARY PAVEMENT CONSIDERATIONS We understand new parking areas, access drives, and access roadways will be part of the new development. The primary access for the development will be a primary corridor located at the existing intersection of U.S. 62 and Southridge Road. A south access collector street will intersect Willis Road to the south, and an east access collector street will intersect Park Hill Road to the east. We expect standard-duty parking areas will be subjected to frequent passenger vehicles. The medium-duty access drives are expected to be subjected to passenger vehicles and occasional light delivery box trucks. Heavy duty primary corridor and collector streets are expected to be subjected to daily heavy truck and bus traffic. Following initial site preparation, we recommend that all pavement areas be prepared and evaluated in accordance with the recommendations presented in Section 7.0 of this report. Following these recommendations, the proposed new pavements sections will be supported on properly compacted and approved structural fill materials. Following completion of the recommended pavement subgrade preparation, flexible pavements may be designed based on assumed resilient modulus value of 3,750 psi. Rigid pavements may be designed using modulus of subgrade reaction, k, of 75 pounds per cubic inch. We have assumed a concrete elastic modulus (Ec) of 3.1 X 106 psi, and a concrete modulus of rupture (S’c) of 600 psi. The following table provides a summary of the pavement design criteria, including traffic information provided to our office.

For access drive approaches, trash compactor pads, loading areas, and other pavement areas that are frequently subjected to high concentrated traffic loads with frequent braking and turning of wheels, consideration should be given to using a rigid pavement section comprised of 7 inches Portland cement concrete over 6 inches limestone aggregate base. For concrete pavements, the recommended aggregate base course will serve as a leveling course, improve the subgrade support properties, and reduce the risk of pumping of fine-grained subgrade soils through the joints. In accordance with the ODOT specifications, asphaltic concrete should be compacted within 92 to 97 percent of the theoretical maximum specific gravity of the asphaltic concrete mix. The underlying aggregate base course should be compacted to at least 98 percent of the material’s Standard Proctor maximum dry density with a moisture content range of +/- 2 percent of the optimum moisture content at the time of placement. Although not referenced in the ODOT specifications, based on our experience with project sites in this region and anticipated traffic loads, we recommend Portland cement concrete should have a minimum 28-day compressive strength of 3,500 psi, maximum slump of 4 inches, and air content of 5 to 7 percent. With the use of aggregate base course, the aggregate should have uniform thickness and the subgrade graded such as to provide positive drainage from the granular base. The aggregate base section should grade toward a storm sewer or drainage ditch to provide drainage from the aggregate base. All pavements should be sloped, approximately ¼ inch per foot, to provide rapid surface drainage. Water allowed to pond on or adjacent to the pavement could saturate the subgrade and cause premature deterioration of the pavements as a result of loss of strength and stability. Periodic maintenance of the pavement should be anticipated. This should include sealing of cracks and joints and by maintaining proper surface drainage to avoid ponding of water on or near the pavement areas. The concrete should be protected against moisture loss, rapid temperature fluctuations, and construction traffic for several days after placement. We suggest a curing compound be applied after the concrete has been finished. For rigid pavements, we recommend a jointing plan be developed to control cracking and help preclude surficial migration of water into the base course and subgrade. Additionally, we recommend the joints be sealed in order to further preclude surficial moisture migration into the underlying supporting soils.

13.0 ADDITIONAL GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES As discussed in Section 1.0 of this report, the names of the tenants for each retail and office lot were not provided to us at the time of preparing this report. In our experience, each tenant will have their own specific design criteria for building pad preparation. Building & Earth can review these criteria upon receipt of tenant specifications and incorporate the requirements into the geotechnical recommendations for each particular lot. The tenant specifications may require supplemental borings to better characterize the subsurface conditions within each site. The two widely spaced borings drilled within the multi-story hotel footprint encountered different rock units consisting of cherty limestone and brecciated chert. As discussed in Section 8.0, the brecciated chert is highly abrasive and does not provide for proper end bearing support of deep foundation elements such as drilled piers, auger cast piles, driven piles, and micro piles. However, it should be noted that the presence of the brecciated chert was determined from limited recovery of disturbed samples from Boring H-01, and Boring H-02 was advanced into a cherty limestone unit using rock coring procedures to better characterize the auger refusal material. We recommend supplemental borings be performed using rock coring procedures to better characterize the underlying rock units across the proposed building area. Upon request, Building & Earth can prepare the scope of work to further assist with development of geotechnical design recommendations for the retail and office pads, and design and construction of drilled piers.

14.0 CONSTRUCTION MONITORING The recommendations presented in this report are based on information obtained from fifty-six (56) soil test boring locations. Field verification of site conditions is an essential part of the services provided by the geotechnical consultant. In order to confirm our recommendations, it will be necessary for Building & Earth personnel to make periodic visits to the site during site grading. We can prepare a proposal for construction monitoring services based on the construction schedule and your risk management preferences.

Typical construction monitoring services are listed below.

• Periodic observations and consultations by a member of our engineering staff

during site grading.

• Field density tests during structural fill placement on a continuous basis.

• Periodic observation and verification of the bearing surfaces exposed after foundation excavation.

• Continuous observation of foundation installation.

• Drilled pier inspections.

• Molding and testing of concrete cylinders.

• Reinforcing steel inspections.

• Structural steel inspections.

• Structural masonry inspections.

• Fireproofing inspections.

• Sampling of asphalt for mix verification and coring for determination of in-place thickness and density.

15.0 CLOSING This report was prepared for the exclusive use by Cherokee Nation Businesses, LLC and the design team for specific application to the subject project in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The information in this report is not transferable. This report should not be used for a different development on the same property without first being evaluated by the engineer. The preliminary recommendations in this report were based on the information obtained from our field exploration, laboratory analysis and engineering judgment regarding conditions between borings. It will be necessary to confirm the anticipated subsurface conditions during construction. This report is intended for use of conceptual site planning and preliminary design and it may not address all conditions at the site at the time of construction. Once grading plans, structure types, and structural loading conditions have been determined, additional borings should be performed in all building and pavement areas, and a geotechnical engineering evaluation should be performed to evaluate the recommendations presented in this report. Contractors reviewing this information should acknowledge that this document is for planning purposes only. An article published by the Association of Engineering Firms Practicing in the Geosciences (ASFE), titled Important Information About Your Geotechnical Report, has been included in the Appendix. We encourage all individuals to become familiar with the article to help manage the risk.

BBOORRIINNGG LLOOGG DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN Building & Earth Sciences, Inc. (BESI) used the gINT software program to prepare the attached boring logs. The gINT program provides the flexibility to custom design the boring logs to include the pertinent information from the subsurface exploration and results of our laboratory analysis. The soil and laboratory information included on our logs is summarized below: Depth The depth below the ground surface is shown. Sample Type The method used to collect the sample is shown. The typical sampling methods include Split Spoon Sampling, Shelby Tube Sampling, Grab Samples, and Rock Core. A key is provided at the bottom of the log showing the graphic symbol for each sample type.. Sample Number Each sample collected is numbered sequentially Blows per 6”, REC%, RQD% When Standard Split Spoon sampling is used, the blows required to drive the sampler each 6-inch increment are recorded and shown in column 4. When rock core is obtained the recovery ration (REC%) and Rock Quality Designation (RQD%) is recorded. Soil Data Column 5 is a graphic representation of 4 different soil parameters. Each of the parameters use the same graph, however, the values of the graph subdivisions vary with each parameter. Each parameter presented on column 5 is summarized below: • N-Value- The Standard Penetration Test N-Value, obtained by adding number of blows required

to drive the sampler the final 12 inches, is recorded. The graph labels range from 0 to 50. • Qu – Unconfined Compressive Strength estimate from the Pocket Penetrometer test in tons per

square foot (tsf). The graph labels range from 0 to 5 tsf. • Atterberg Limits – The Atterberg Limits are plotted with the plastic limit to the left, and liquid

limit to the right, connected by a horizontal line. The difference in the plastic and liquid limits is referred to as the Plasticity Index. The Atterberg Limits test results are also included in the Notes column on the far right column of the boring log. The Atterberg Limits graph labels range from 0 to 100.

• % Moisture – The Natural Moisture Content of the soil sample as determined in our laboratory.

Soil Description The soil description prepared in accordance with ASTM D 2488, Visual Description of Soil Samples. The Munsel Color chart is used to determine the soil color. Strata changes are indicated by a solid line, with the depth of the change indicated on the left side of the line. If subtle changes within a soil type occur, a broken line is used. The Boring Termination or Auger Refusal depth is shown as a solid line at the bottom of the boring. Graphic The graphic representation of the soil type is shown. The graphic used for each soil type is related to the Unified Soil Classification chart. A chart showing the graphic associated with each soil classification is included.

Important Information About YourGeotechnical Engineering Report

Subsurface problems are a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes

The following information is provided to help you manage your risks.

Geotechnical Services Are Performed forSpecifi c Purposes, Persons, and ProjectsGeotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the specifi c needs of their clients. A geotechnical engineering study conducted for a civil engineer may not fulfi ll the needs of a construction contractor or even another civil engineer. Because each geotechnical engineering study is unique, each geo-technical engineering report is unique, prepared solely for the client. No one except you should rely on your geotechnical engineering report without fi rst conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one - not even you - should apply the report for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated.

Read the Full ReportSerious problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical engineering report did not read it all. Do not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only.

A Geotechnical Engineering Report Is Based onA Unique Set of Project-Specifi c FactorsGeotechnical engineers consider a number of unique, project-specifi c factors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors include: the client’s goals, objectives, and risk management preferences; the general nature of the structure involved, its size, and confi guration; the location of the structure on the site; and other planned or existing site improvements, such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless the geotechnical engi-neer who conducted the study specifi cally indicates otherwise, do not rely on a geotechnical engineering report that was:• not prepared for you,• not prepared for your project,• not prepared for the specifi c site explored, or• completed before important project changes were made.

Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing geotechnicalengineering report include those that affect:• the function of the proposed structure, as when it’s changed from a parking garage to an offi ce building, or from alight industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse,

• elevation, confi guration, location, orientation, or weight of the proposed structure,• composition of the design team, or• project ownership.

As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project changes - even minor ones - and request an assessment of their impact. Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems that occur because their reports do not consider developments of which they were not informed.

Subsurface Conditions Can ChangeA geotechnical engineering report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed. Do not rely on a geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of time; by man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the site; or by natu-ral events, such as fl oods, earthquakes, or groundwater fl uctuations. Always contact the geotechnical engineer before applying the report to determine if it is still reliable. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis could prevent major problems.

Most Geotechnical Findings Are ProfessionalOpinionsSite exploration identifi es subsurface conditions only at those points wheresubsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. Geotechnical engineers review fi eld and laboratory data and then apply their professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ-sometimes signifi cantly from those indi-cated in your report. Retaining the geotechnical engineer who developed your report to provide construction observation is the most effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions.

A Report’s Recommendations Are Not FinalDo not overrely on the construction recommendations included in your re-port. Those recommendations are not fi nal, because geotechnical engineers develop them principally from judgment and opinion. Geotechnical engineers can fi nalize their recommendations only by observing actual

Page 143: REPORT OF P S E G E P C S P T O E P N OK150004€¦ · report of preliminary subsurface exploration. and geotechnical evaluation. proposed cherokee springs plaza. t. ahlequah, o

subsurface conditions revealed during construction. The geotechnical engi-neer who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or liability for the report’s recommendations if that engineer does not perform construction observation.

A Geotechnical Engineering Report Is Subject toMisinterpretationOther design team members’ misinterpretation of geotechnical engineer-ing reports has resulted in costly problems. Lower that risk by having your geotechnical engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team after submitting the report. Also retain your geotechnical engineer to review pertinent elements of the design team’s plans and specifi cations. Contractors can also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering report. Reduce that risk by having your geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences, and by providing construction observation.

Do Not Redraw the Engineer’s LogsGeotechnical engineers prepare fi nal boring and testing logs based upon their interpretation of fi eld logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical engineering report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize that separating logs from the report can elevate risk.

Give Contractors a Complete Report andGuidanceSome owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can make contractors liable for unanticipated subsurface conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems, give con-tractors the complete geotechnical engineering report, but preface it with aclearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that thereport was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the report’s accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with the geotechnical engineer who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/or to conduct ad-ditional study to obtain the specifi c types of information they need or prefer. A prebid conference can also be valuable. Be sure contractors have suffi cient time to perform additional study. Only then might you be in a position to give contractors the best information available to you, while requiring them to at least share some of the fi nancial responsibilities stemming from unantici-pated conditions.

Read Responsibility Provisions CloselySome clients, design professionals, and contractors do not recognize thatgeotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disciplines. This lack of understanding has created unrealistic expectations that have led

to disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce the risk of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include a variety of explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled “limitations” many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers’ responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly.

Geoenvironmental Concerns Are Not CoveredThe equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform a geoenviron-mental study differ signifi cantly from those used to perform a geotechnical study. For that reason, a geotechnical engineering report does not usually re-late any geoenvironmental fi ndings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental problems have led to numerous project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own geoenvironmental in-formation, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk management guidance. Do not rely on an environmental report prepared for someone else.

Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal with MoldDiverse strategies can be applied during building design, construction, op-eration, and maintenance to prevent signifi cant amounts of mold from grow-ing on indoor surfaces. To be effective, all such strategies should be devised for the express purpose of mold prevention, integrated into a comprehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a professional mold prevention consultant. Because just a small amount of water or moisture can lead to the development of severe mold infestations, a number of mold prevention strategies focus on keeping building surfaces dry. While groundwater, wa-ter infi ltration, and similar issues may have been addressed as part of the geotechnical engineering study whose fi ndings are conveyed in-this report, the geotechnical engineer in charge of this project is not a mold prevention consultant; none of the services performed in connection with the geotechnical engineer’s study were designed or conducted for the purpose of mold prevention. Proper implementation of the recommendations conveyed in this report will not of itself be suffi cient to prevent mold from growing in or on the struc-ture involved.
