    1. INTRODUCTION

    This report presents the geotechnical data obtained from a field investigation to (1) assess the east side slope instability at M112.07 TSD and provide geotechnical design for possible mitigation measure(s), and (2) evaluation of stability of the west slope at M112 TSD, which is an area previously repaired by Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC) few years ago. Thurber carried out the investigation as a sub-consultant to Hatch.

    It is a condition of this report that Thurber’s performance of its professional services is subject to the attached Statement of Limitations and Conditions.

    2. SITE DESCRIPTION

    The study area is located at Mile 112.07 of the Ontario Northland Temagami Subdivision near New Liskeard, Ontario. The railway at this location is oriented in a north-south direction at about EL 197.5 m.. The railway alignment is generally parallel to the shoreline of Lake Timiskaming located approximately 200m east of the track. A four lane arterial road (Lakeshore Road) is located at the toe of the slope between the railway and the lake shoreline at about 188 m Elevation. The crest of the slope locally is at approximately EL 210 m.

    The surficial geologic mapping for the area (Gao, 2010, Map 2657) indicates that the majority of the area is covered by fine-grained glaciolacustrine deposits (silt and clay). Localized areas of granular material (sand) associated with former shoreline or deltaic features are also shown in the general area. Steep wave cut slopes are also noted in the mapping parallel to and somewhat higher than the existing shoreline.

    The section of the railway where the east side slope instability was observed at M112.07 TSD is located approximately 700 m north of the Radley Hill Road, New Liskeard, ON. The length of the slope instability section at this location is approximately 25-30 m and it falls within a curved track section that is approximately aligned in the north to south direction with the outside of the curve facing eastward. The existing slope is heavily vegetated with low shrubs.

    The slope instability on the west side of the track at M112.00 TSD, was also investigated and the stability assessed. Moreover, it is understood that the west side slope at M112 TSD has been repaired by ONTC a few years ago, including re-grading the slope and improvements to the subsurface and surface drainage.

    The topography surrounding the site is undulating and slopes toward the east. The land use generally consists of residential properties and undeveloped forested land.

    3. INVESTIGATION PROCEDURES

    The field investigation for this project was carried out between December 6 to 8th, 2016, during which time a total of 6 boreholes denoted as Boreholes 16-01 to 16-06 were advanced. The approximate locations of the boreholes are shown on the Borehole Locations Plan provided in Appendix F.

    A track-mounted CME 55 drill rig operated by was used. The boreholes were advanced using hollow stem augers to depths between 2.6 m and 15.7 m. In all boreholes, soil samples were obtained at selected intervals with a 50 mm outside diameter split spoon sampler driven in conjunction with the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Vane shear tests were carried out at selected intervals within silty clay.

    Groundwater conditions were observed in the open boreholes throughout the drilling operations. Piezometers were installed in two (2) of the boreholes (Boreholes 15-02 and 15-05) to permit measurement of the groundwater levels at the site. The piezometers consisted of 25 mm diameter PVC pipe, with a slotted screen sealed at a selected depth within the borehole. The remaining boreholes were backfilled in general accordance with Ontario Regulation 903.

    The field investigation was supervised on a full-time basis by a member of Thurber’s technical staff who marked/staked the boreholes in the field, arranged for the clearance of subsurface utilities, directed the drilling, sampling and in-situ testing operations, logged the boreholes and processed the recovered soil samples for transport to Thurber’s laboratory for further examination and testing.

    4. LABORATORY TESTING

    Routine laboratory testing was carried out at Thurber’s laboratory. The recovered soil samples were subjected to Visual Identification (VI) and to natural moisture content determination. Selected samples were also subjected to grain size distribution analysis (hydrometer and/or sieve) and Atterberg Limits testing, where appropriate. Laboratory testing results are summarized on the Record of Borehole sheets included in Appendix A and are presented on the figures included in Appendix B.

    5. DESCRIPTION OF SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

    Details of the encountered soil stratigraphy are presented on the Record of Borehole sheets included in Appendix A. A general description of the stratigraphy, based on the conditions encountered in the boreholes, is given in the following paragraphs. However, the factual data presented on the Record of Borehole sheets takes precedence over this general description and must be used for interpretation of the site conditions. It should be recognized and expected that soil conditions may vary between and beyond borehole locations.

    The general stratigraphy encountered in the boreholes varies somewhat depending on the location of the boreholes. Cross-sections showing the conditions encountered in the boreholes are shown in Drawing 15010-2 in Appendix C.

    The borehole drilled at the crest of the slope (16-05) encountered topsoil and clay fill overlying native silty clay which was in turn underlain by a dense sand deposit extending to the maximum depth of investigation.

    The three boreholes advanced adjacent to the ONR track (16-01, 16-02, 16-06) encountered ballast and granular fill overlying silty clay, except at 16-06 where the fill rests directly on the dense sand deposit. At borehole 16-01, sand till was encountered beneath the silty clay.

    The two boreholes (16-03 and 16-04) advanced on the shoulder of Lakeshore Road near the toe of slope encountered pavement structure (asphalt, sand and gravel, sand) overlying silty clay or silty sand till.

    5.1 Ballast and Sub-ballast

    Ballast comprising crushed rock was encountered in boreholes 16-01, 16-02 and 16-06. The thickness encountered varied from 1.2 to 2.4 m below ground surface. A 0.6 m thick layer of sand was encountered beneath the ballast at BH 16-01.

    5.2 Pavement Structure

    The pavement structure encountered at Lakeshore Road comprised 100 mm thick layer of asphalt overlying sand and gravel extending down to 0.61 m. A layer of compact sand fill, trace silt was encountered beneath the sand and gravel to a maximum depth of 1.45 m depth.

  • Client: Hatch Date: March 31, 2016 File No.: 15010 Page: 4 of 11 E file: 15010 Draft Report Marxh24_17

    5.3 Fill

    Silty clay fill was encountered beneath the topsoil at BH 16-05 and extending down to 1.5 m depth. The fill was described as brown, silty clay with occasional sand and occasional rootlets. The moisture content of samples recovered in this unit varied from 16 to 19%. The SPT N-values ranged from 8 to 12, indicating stiff consistency.

    5.4 Silty Clay

    The silty clay deposit was encountered beneath the fill layer at boreholes 16-01, 16-02, 16-03 and 16-05. The upper 2 to 3 m of the deposit is desiccated with higher strength and lower moisture content than the underlying silty clay. The deposit is brown to grey and contains occasional sand and silt seams. The thickness of the deposit, where encountered at the boreholes, varied from 0.8m to 13.3 m. The moisture content ranges from 19 to 56 %. The Atterberg limit tests are summarized in the table below.

    The SPT N-values recorded in the silty clay deposit ranged from 4 to 21 blows per 0.3 m of penetration. The peak undrained shear strength based on vane shear test results ranged from 47 to 90 kPa, indicating firm to stiff consistency. The shear strength generally decreases at greater depths. Remolded vane tests indicate residual shear strength ranging from 13 kPa to 30 kPa, and low sensitivity. The vane shear test data is summarized in the table below.

    5.5 Sand

    A deposit of sand with trace to some silt was encountered below the silty clay layer in borehole 16-05 and below the fill in borehole 15-06. The sand was brown in colour and fine to medium grained. The thickness of the sand deposit was not measured since the boreholes terminated in the deposit.

    SPT ‘N’ values recorded in the sand deposit ranged from 8 to 80 blows per 0.3 m of penetration up to 100 blows per 0.250 m of penetration, indicating loose to very dense conditions. Measured moisture contents within the samples varied between 4 percent and 8 percent.

    The results of grain size distribution analyses carried out on selected samples of the sand are presented on the Record of Borehole Sheets included in Appendix A and on the figures in Appendix B. The results of the grain size distribution analyses are summarized below:

    Soil Particle Percentage (%) Gravel 0 Sand 88

    Silt & clay 12

    5.6 Silty Sand Till

    A layer of silty sand till was encountered beneath the silty clay layer in boreholes BH16-01, 16-03 and beneath the fill in borehole 16-04. The boreholes terminated in this unit, so the thickness was not determined.

  • Client: Hatch Date: March 31, 2016 File No.: 15010 Page: 6 of 11 E file: 15010 Draft Report Marxh24_17

    SPT ‘N’ values recorded in the silty sand till ranged from 6 to >100 blows per 0.3 m of penetration, indicating a loose to very dense relative density. Measured moisture contents within the silty sand till varied between 8 percent and 11 percent.

    The results of grain size distribution analyses carried out on selected samples of the silty sand till are presented on the Record of Borehole Sheets included in Appendix A and on the laboratory figures in Appendix B. The results of the grain size distribution analyses are summarized below:

    Soil Particle Percentage (%) Gravel 8 to 10 Sand 50 to 54 Silt 20 to 23

    Clay 15 to 17

    5.7 Groundwater Conditions

    Groundwater conditions were observed during drilling operations and groundwater levels were measured in the open boreholes upon completion of drilling. The groundwater levels measured in the open boreholes and in the piezometers are summarized below.

    Borehole Date Water Level (m) Remark Depth Elevation 16-02 December 7, 2016 4.6 192.7 dry 16-05 December 8, 2016 14.0 196.2 Open Borehole

    The groundwater levels above are short-term readings and seasonal fluctuations of the groundwater level are to be expected. In particular, the groundwater levels may be at a higher elevation after periods of significant or prolonged precipitation.

    6. MISCELLANEOUS

    Thurber marked the borehole locations in the field and obtained subsurface utility clearances prior to drilling. The coordinates and ground surface elevations at the borehole locations were provided to Thurber by Hatch.

    George Downing Drilling of Hawksbury, Ontario supplied and operated the drilling, sampling and in-situ testing equipment for the field investigation. The field investigation was supervised on a full-time basis by a member of Thurber’s technical staff. Overall supervision of the field program was conducted by Mr. Mohamed Hosney, P.Eng. of Thurber.

    7. SLOPE STABILITY ASSESSMENT

    This section of the report presents an interpretation of the geotechnical data and provides and assessment of the current stability as well as recommendations for improving the stability of the slope over the longer term.

    The stability of two separate slopes was assessed, including the slope west (uphill) of the track at M112.00 and the slope to the east (downhill) of the track at M112.07 Temagami Subdivision. Details of the two areas are summarized in the following table.

    7.1 Previous Instability and Improvements

    Previous Instability M112.00 TSD

    At M112 TSD, previous reporting indicates that slope movements had occurred upslope and adjacent to the track during April 2002 (based on Merlex Engineering Ltd. report submitted to ONTC in May 2002). The report also indicates that a slope movement detection system had been installed at this location prior to 2002.

    Based on contract drawings for phase II remedial measures prepared by D.F. Elliot Consulting Engineers Ltd. dated September 2004 (Drawing number 04E-001; project No. 2004-013). Previous remedial measures implemented at the site includes:

    a. 150 mm diameter finger drain system installed at approximately 10 m intervals and connected to a subdrain which outlets about 75 m north of the slide areas,

  • Client: Hatch Date: March 31, 2016 File No.: 15010 Page: 8 of 11 E file: 15010 Draft Report Marxh24_17

    b. slope regrading, c. Erosion control rock protection area (10m x 12 m) d. Improvement to ditch along south limit of slide area

    Previous Instability - M112.07 TSD

    Previous reporting by Merlex Engineering in April 1997, indicates occurrence of active instability east of the track in this area. Following site investigation, the remedial measures recommended at that time included an interceptor drainage trench installed to the west of the track and French drains installed on the slope face to the east of the track.

    A site inspection was carried out by M. Hosney of Thurber Engineering Ltd. and Paul Zachariasz, P.Eng. of Hatch to M112.07 TSD on September 01, 2016. The site conditions noted in this area consisted of ballast migration through, and underneath, deteriorated and tilted wood retaining wall supporting a 0.5 m difference in ground level at the crest of the east side slope. Replacement of the retaining wall with an engineered retaining wall or flattening of the east side slope were initially proposed.

    8. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

    Slope stability analyses were carried out using the commercially available slope stability program GEO-SLOPE, applying the Morgenstern-Price method. The characteristics of the slopes along the M112.00 TSD and M112.07 TSD sites are represented by cross sections A-A’ and B-B’, respectively. The cross sections are presented on the “Borehole Plan and Stratigraphic Profile” drawing in Appendix D. The groundwater levels used in the analysis were based on previous site data and observations from the recent investigation. The slope stability analysis results are discussed in the following sections for each site location.

    8.1 M112.00 TSD Stability

    Section B-B’ has a slope inclination of about 2.5H:1V at west side of the railway track at M112 TSD. A slope stability analyses was carried out to evaluate the stability of the slope under previous failed conditions, based on the soil conditions in boreholes 16-05 and 16-06 and existing conditions including drainage improvements made at the toe of slope. The estimated factors of safety for effective stress conditions are summarized in Table 8.1.

    Reinforcement Option 1.51 4

    It is understood that the slope to the west of the track at M112.00 TSD has been previously improved by ONTC as shown in the contract drawings dated 2004 including construction of a subsurface drainage system, slope re-grading and placement of rock protection to control surface erosion. A back analysis of the previously failed conditions was carried out to assess the applicable shear strength parameters under the assumed drainage conditions. Further stability analysis was carried out based on the existing drainage system which was assumed to be functioning sufficiently to lower the water-table as shown. Additional stability analyses were also carried out to assess the improvement of stability associated with the construction of two proposed improvement options as shown in the table.

    8.2 M112.00 TSD Remedial Measures

    Based on the slope stability analysis, the stability of the existing slope at M112.00 currently meets the minimum requirement of 1.3, but this situation is dependent on maintaining low groundwater levels in the silty clay. Maintaining the serviceability of the drainage system in the future therefore is critical to maintaining an acceptable level of stability at this location. The existing drainage system should therefore be inspected periodically and observations should be made to assess blockage or potential damage and regular maintenance applied to keep the drainage system functioning properly.

    Where additional stability is required, further improvements can be made to the slope to increase the factor of safety to 1.5. The slope reinforcement option was based on a preliminary anchor load of 400kN applied at approximately 2 m spacing. Additional detailed assessment of preferred option would be required if selected for further design.

    8.3 M112.07 TSD Stability

    Based on the survey data provided by Hatch, Section A-A’ has an average slope inclination of about 1.3H:1V (horizontal to vertical) at east side of the railway track. Slope stability analyses were carried out to assess the stability of the slope under the existing conditions, and based on the subsurface conditions from boreholes 16-01 through 16-04. The small timber retaining wall at the crest of the slope is supported by steel t-bars which do not provide sufficient lateral resistance, and was therefore not modelled directly in the stability calculations. The computed factors of safety for the slope are summarized in Table 8.2.

    Figure 5 shows the factor of safety of the overall slope under the existing undrained condition is approximately 1.1 which is lower than the acceptable standard for slope stability of 1.3. Furthermore, the effective stress analysis ( for long term conditions) indicate that the slope is not stable over the long term and it’s current stability appears to depend on maintaining the slope free from groundwater and the associated pore pressures.

    Under effective stress conditions, which are representative of longer term behaviour, the factor of safety is approximately one. Based on these results, the stability of the existing steep slope is therefore currently dependant on maintaining a condition free of positive pore pressure. It is expected that changes which result in excess moisture infiltration in this area may initiate further instability. Options which may be considered for improving stability would typically include: drainage improvement, slope reinforcement, or slope flattening.

  • Client: Hatch Date: March 31, 2016 File No.: 15010 Page: 11 of 11 E file: 15010 Draft Report Marxh24_17

    The drainage improvement option is not likely to stabilize the slope sufficiently since the water-table is relatively low within the slope. The remaining mitigation options are discussed in the following section.

    8.4 M112.07 Remedial Measures

    Slope Reinforcement

    The options are available for slope reinforcement, including installation of a retaining walls, slope flattening or installation of anchors (or soil nails) on the slope itself. A slope stability analysis was carried out to assess the required geometry and forces for each option. The results of the analysis are summarized in Appendix D.

    Slope reinforcement using soil nails or anchors has been considered for stabilization. The analysis indicates that relatively large resistance loads would be needed, requiring relatively deep anchors and close anchor spacing. This option is therefore not considered to be practical.

    Installation of soldier piles at the crest of the slope was also considered. The soldier pile system would need to be designed by a firm specializing in this type of shoring system. This option would support the track but would not stabilize the slope to the east of the soldier pile wall. Further stabilization work downslope of the wall would likely be required in the future.

    Slope Flattening

    The options for slope flattening are constrained by the presence of Lakeshore Road at the toe of the slope. Slope flattening could be effected be construction of a retaining wall at the toe of the slope and placement of fill on the slope to achieve a reduced inclination and improved stability. The design of this option will depend on the location of the property line for the adjacent highway right-of-way. Slope stability analysis, shown in Appendix D indicates that the factor of safety for the slope could be improved to about 2.0 using this option and a slope inclination of 2.3H:1V.

Thurber is entitled to rely on such representations, information and instructions and is not required to carry out investigations to determine the truth or accuracy of such representations, information and instructions.

    c) Design Services: The Report may form part of design and construction documents for information purposes even though it may have been issued prior to final design being completed. Thurber should be retained to review final design, project plans and related documents prior to construction to confirm that they are consistent with the intent of the Report. Any differences that may exist between the Report’s recommendations and the final design detailed in the contract documents should be reported to Thurber immediately so that Thurber can address potential conflicts.

    d) Construction Services: During construction Thurber should be retained to provide field reviews. Field reviews consist of performing sufficient and timely observations of encountered conditions in order to confirm and document that the site conditions do not materially differ from those interpreted conditions considered in the preparation of the report. Adequate field reviews are necessary for Thurber to provide letters of assurance, in accordance with the requirements of many regulatory authorities.

    6. RELEASE OF POLLUTANTS OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

    Geotechnical engineering and environmental consulting projects often have the potential to encounter pollutants or hazardous substances and the potential to cause the escape, release or dispersal of those substances. Thurber shall have no liability to the Client under any circumstances, for the escape, release or dispersal of pollutants or hazardous substances, unless such pollutants or hazardous substances have been specifically and accurately identified to Thurber by the Client prior to the commencement of Thurber’s professional services.

    7. INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENTS OF CLIENT

    The information, interpretations and conclusions in the Report are based on Thurber’s interpretation of conditions revealed through limited investigation conducted within a defined scope of services. Thurber does not accept responsibility for independent conclusions, interpretations, interpolations and/or decisions of the Client, or others who may come into possession of the Report, or any part thereof, which may be based on information contained in the Report. This restriction of liability includes but is not limited to decisions made to develop, purchase or sell land.
