1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

According to the provided information and documents, PSI understands that the project is to consist of the construction of a new retaining wall and drainage system at the Poland Library, located at 311 S. Main Street, Poland, Mahoning County, Ohio. Specifically, the new retaining wall will replace the existing cut stone retaining wall which runs along the property’s northeastern boundary, along Yellow Creek. The new drainage system is planned to be located in the northern portion of the parking area. Currently, the site area consists of an asphalt paved parking area with a gravel walking path located between the parking area and the existing retaining wall. The existing parking lot slopes from south to north, with approximately 2-feet of elevation difference across the parking lot. The water level of Yellow Creek is approximately 3 to 4-feet below existing parking lot elevations. Proposed site grading, type and height of the proposed retaining wall and the proposed size and depth of the drainage system were not was available at the time of this report. The geotechnical recommendations presented in this report are based on the available project information, the proposed location and orientation of the retaining wall on the site, and the subsurface materials described in this report. If any of the information noted above is incorrect, please inform PSI in writing so that we may amend the recommendations presented in this report if necessary. PSI will not be responsible for the implementation of its recommendations when it is not notified of changes in the project.

1.3 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES

The purpose of this exploration was to evaluate the soil, rock and groundwater conditions at the site to provide recommendations, from a geotechnical engineering viewpoint, for retaining wall design soil parameters, and other construction considerations. PSI’s contracted scope of services included drilling three (3) soil test borings at the site, one boring in the area of the planned drainage system, and two (2) test borings for the proposed new retaining wall structure. The test borings were drilled to depths of ranging from 13’-10” to 15’-5” below the existing ground surface, select laboratory testing, and preparation of this geotechnical engineering report. This report briefly outlines the testing procedures, presents available project information, describes the site and subsurface conditions, and presents recommendations regarding the following:

This report briefly outlines the testing procedures, presents available project information, describes the site and subsurface conditions, and presents recommendations regarding the following:

• Review of geologic setting

• Design soil parameters for retaining wall

• Design parameters for pavement design

• Comments regarding factors that could impact construction and performance of the proposed construction The scope of services did not include an environmental assessment for determining the presence or absence of wetlands, or hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, bedrock, surface water, groundwater, or air on, below, or around this site. Any statements in this report or on the boring logs regarding odors, colors, and unusual or suspicious items or conditions are strictly for informational purposes. PSI’s geotechnical scope also did not include any service to investigate or detect the presence of moisture, mold or other biological contaminants in or around any structure, or any service that was designed or intended to prevent or lower the risk of the occurrence or the amplification of the same. Client should be aware that mold is ubiquitous to the environment with mold amplification occurring when building materials are impacted by moisture. Client should be aware that site conditions are outside of PSI’s control, and that mold amplification will likely occur, or continue to occur, in the presence of moisture. As such, PSI cannot and shall not be held responsible for the occurrence or reoccurrence of mold amplification.

2 GEOLOGY AND OBSERVATION OF THE REPORT

2.1 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

The site for the proposed new retaining wall and drainage system are located within the parking area of the Poland Library, located at 311 S. Main Street, Poland, Mahoning County, Ohio. The site Latitude and Longitude is

approximately N 41.023429° and W 80.610824, respectively. Currently, the existing retaining wall along the property’s northeastern boundary with Yellow Creek consists of large cut stone, while the parking area is paved with asphalt concrete. Based on elevations estimated from Google Earth, the surface elevation in the vicinity of the test borings ranged from approximately 1003 to 1005 feet above mean sea level within the parking area, while the elevation of the creek is approximately 999 MSL. The boring elevations provided in this report are approximate. If required by others, the precise test boring elevations and locations should be determined in the field by a professional surveyor.

2.2 SITE GEOLOGY

Based on the glacial and physiographic geologic maps for Ohio, the unconsolidated deposits of loam sheets consist of ground moraine of the Lavery Till from the Wisconsinan Age over Mississippian-age shales, siltstones, sandstones, coal, and limestones of the Pottsville and Allegheny Formation. Information obtained from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) website also indicated that no known abandoned mine was recorded in the vicinity of the site area. “Known and Probable Karst in Ohio” map published by ODNR indicates that no Karst (sink hole) is recorded in the vicinity of the project site.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2.3 FIELD DRILLINGOPERATIONS

As discussed in the Purpose and Scope of Services section, a total of three (3) test borings within the proposed retaining wall area. The test boring was drilled to depths of about 13’-10’ to 15’-5” below the existing surface grades. The approximate boring locations are shown on the Boring Location Plan presented in the Appendix of this report. The borings were advanced into the ground using hollow stem augers mounted on an ATV/truck mounted drill rig. The split spoon sampling procedures used during this exploration are in basic accordance with Ohio Department of Transportation Specifications for Subsurface Exploration section 303.7 (Type E1).

2.4 LAB TESTING

The soil samples obtained during the field exploration were transported to the laboratory and visually examined. The soil samples obtained from the drilling operation were tested for moisture content (ASTM D2216), Atterberg limits (ASTM D4318) and grain size analyses (ASTM D6913), The samples were classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Descriptions and lab test data of the soils encountered in the test boring is provided on the Boring Log included in the Appendix. Groundwater conditions, standard penetration resistances, and other pertinent information are also included. The soil test borings were advanced utilizing 4¼ inch inside diameter, hollow stem auger drilling methods. During the test boring sampling procedure, standard penetration tests were performed at regular intervals to obtain the standard penetration value of the soil. The standard penetration value (N) is defined as the number of blows (“blow counts”) of a 140-pound hammer free falling 30 inches, required to advance the split-spoon sampler a distance of 1 foot into the soil at each sampling increment. The sampler is lowered to the bottom of the drill hole and the number of blows recorded for each of 3 successive increments of 6-inch penetration. The "N" value is obtained by adding the second and third incremental blow count results. The results of the standard penetration test indicate the relative density and comparative consistency of the soils, and thereby provide a basis for estimating the relative strength and compressibility of the soil profile constituents. Select soil samples were later tested in the laboratory to obtain soil material properties for the foundation recommendations. Drilling, sampling, and laboratory testing was accomplished in general accordance with ASTM procedures.

3 FINDINGS

3.1 BORINGS

The subsurface conditions at the project site were explored with three (3) soil test borings drilled within the designated area of the proposed new retaining wall and drainage system. Specifically, two (2) borings were advanced in the area of the proposed retaining wall and one (1) boring was advanced in the area of the planned drainage system. The three (3) test borings within the retaining wall and drainage system area were terminated at depths ranging from 13’-10’ to 15’-5” below existing site grades. The boring locations and depths were determined by ms consultants, inc. and reviewed by PSI prior to drilling. PSI personnel marked the borings in the field using conventional measuring devices, using information derived from our site meeting. PSI recommends that the surface elevations at the boring locations be surveyed prior to construction activities. At the time of PSI’s field activities, the ground surface in the area of the planned drainage system was covered with approximately 8-inches of asphalt pavement, underlain by approximately 24-inches of crushed limestone


September 9, 2019

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


and slag on top of a layer of geo-fabric. While the ground surface at the area of the proposed retaining wall consisted about 3-inches of sand and gravel. Beneath the asphalt pavement, aggregate base and sand and gravel surface cover, the test borings generally disclosed natural soils extending to depths ranging from approximately 5.5 to 8 feet below existing grade. Based on results of visual classification and select laboratory testing, the soils are classified as Sandy Silty Clay (CL-ML), sandy silt (ML), and Silty Sand (SM) in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The standard penetration N-values generally indicate consistencies of stiff within the cohesive soils, and loose to medium dense relative density within the granular soils, based on the Standard Penetration tests. Below the natural soils at test boring locations B-1, the areas bottommost formation encountered consisted of soft to moderately hard weathered sandstone, underlain by interbedded limestone, siltstone and shale. Below the natural soils at test borings B-2, and B-3, the areas bottommost formation encountered consisted of soft to moderately hard weathered sandstone, containing thin coal seams. The above subsurface descriptions are of a generalized nature to highlight the major subsurface stratification features and material characteristics. The boring logs included in the Appendix should be reviewed for specific information at individual boring locations. These records include soil descriptions, stratifications, penetration resistances, and locations of the samples and laboratory test data. The stratifications shown on the boring logs represent the conditions only at the actual boring locations. Variations may occur and should be expected between boring locations. The stratifications represent the approximate boundary between subsurface materials and the actual transition may be gradual. Water level information obtained during field operations is also shown on these boring logs. The samples that were not altered by laboratory testing will be retained for 60 days from the date of this report and then will be discarded.

3.2 GROUND WATER CONDITION

Groundwater was encountered in PSI’s in all three (3) test borings, B-1 thru B-3, during drilling at depths ranging from 4.5 to 7 feet below existing site grades. All three (3) test borings, B-1 thru B-3, were rock cored utilizing water, therefore water readings at the completion of drilling were not recorded. No cave-ins were noted during drillin goperations. Please note that with the proximity of the proposed construction to Yellow Creek, the granular soils observed at this site, and the interface between the soils and bedrock can discharge significant quantities of groundwater into excavations for foundations and utilities. It should also be noted that the groundwater levels at this site, as well as perched water levels and volumes, will fluctuate significantly based on variations in rainfall, snowmelt, evaporation, surface run-off and other related hydrogeologic factors. The groundwater levels in boreholes are often not representative of the actual groundwater level because the boreholes remained open for a relatively short time. The water level measurements presented in this report are the levels that were measured at the time of PSI’s field activities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


4 ANALYSIS AND RECOMENDATIONS

4.1 RETAINING WALL DESIGN

The specific type of the proposed retaining wall has not been determined at this time. However, based on the site conditions observed, it is assumed that the planned retaining wall will be supporting soils to a maximum height of approximately 10 feet; therefore, this wall members should be designed as retaining structures. Backfill should consist of granular soils. It is understood that the final surface grades behind the wall will be level with the top of wall. For evaluating the various loading conditions, the following values of the soil parameters and coefficients of lateral earth pressures may be adopted: Total weight of soil, 120 pcf Buoyant weight of soil, 58 pcf

Angle of Internal Friction for 30 (Cohesionless Backfill) Active Coefficient, 0.33 Equivalent Fluid Pressure, 40 pcf (at active) Base Friction Coefficient, 0.35 Allowable Toe Bearing Pressure, soil 2,000 psf Allowable Toe Bearing Pressure, rock 4,000 psf All footings must be placed at a minimum depth of 42 inches below the flow line of the creek in order to protect against frost action. Extreme care should be taken to prevent weakening of the foundation bearing materials because of prolonged atmospheric exposure, construction activity disturbance or an increase in moisture content. A blanket of freely draining materials at least 2 feet thick, or synthetic drain is to be placed against the back face of the walls along their full length. The wall drainage sand or synthetic drain, such as Enkadrain, should be capped with a 2-foot thick layer of cohesive materials to prevent direct surface water ingress. Once the walls are built, over compaction of the materials against the walls is to be avoided under all circumstances so as to prevent undue lateral earth pressures.

4.2 PAVEMENT SUBGRADE PREPARATION

PSI’s scope of services did not include sampling and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) testing of existing subgrade soils or potential sources of imported fill for the specific purpose of a detailed pavement analysis. Instead, this report outlines recommended procedures for pavement subgrade preparation. Based on past experience with silty clay glacial drift soils (i.e. the type of soils encountered at this site) a minimum CBR value of 4 can likely be achieved by preparing the pavement subgrade as outlined in the Site Preparation section of this report. PSI recommends that the moisture content of the subgrade should be maintained between –2% and +3% of the optimum at the time of paving. It may require rework when the subgrade is either excessively desiccated or excessively wet. Fill material, if needed to establish the required pavement grade, must be performed in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Site Preparation section of this report. The edges of compacted fill should extend a minimum 2 feet beyond the edges of the pavement, or a distance equal to the depth of fill beneath the pavement, whichever is greater. Construction traffic should be minimized to prevent unnecessary disturbance of the pavement subgrade. Disturbed areas, as verified by PSI, should be removed and replaced with properly compacted material.


September 9, 2019

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Asphalt Pavement Section The granular base course should be built at least 2 feet wider than the pavement on each side to support the tracks of the slipform paver. This extra width is structurally beneficial for wheel loads applied at pavement edge. The asphalt binder course should be compacted to a range of 93.0% to 97.4% of the Maximum Theoretical Density as determined by ASMT D2041. Asphaltic surface mixture should be compacted to a range of 92.5% to 97.4% of the Maximum Theoretical Density as determined by ASTM D2041. Asphaltic concrete mix designs should be reviewed to determine if they are consistent with the recommendations given in this report.

4.3 PAVEMENT DRAINAGE AND MAINTENANCE

PSI recommends pavements be sloped 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, and removal and replacement may be required. Consideration should be given to the use of interceptor drains to collect and remove water collecting in the granular base. Interceptor drains could be incorporated with the storm drains located within the pavement areas. 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. Underdrains, sub-drains and under slab drains will not prevent moisture vapor that can cause mold growth.

5 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS

5.1 DRAINAGE AND GROUNDWATER CONSIDERATIONS

Groundwater was encountered at the test boring location during drilling operations to the depths about 4.5 to 7 feet below the existing surface grades. However, groundwater levels can change and could be encountered during foundation excavation and construction. If groundwater is encountered during excavation, a gravity drainage system, sump pump or other conventional dewatering procedure, as deemed necessary by the field conditions, should be implemented throughout construction such that the groundwater is controlled and maintained at an elevation of at least 2 feet below the excavation bottom at all times. Every effort should be made to keep the excavations dry if water is encountered.

5.2 FEDERAL EXCAVATION SAFETY REGULATIONS

In Federal Register, Volume 54, No. 209 (October, 1989), the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) amended its "Construction Standards for Excavations, 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P." This document was issued to better insure the safety of workers entering trenches or excavations. It is mandated by this federal regulation that all excavations, whether they be utility trenches, basement excavations or foundation excavations, be constructed in accordance with the new OSHA guidelines. It is our understanding that these regulations are being strictly enforced. If they are not followed closely, the owner and the contractor could be liable for substantial penalties.


September 9, 2019

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The contractor is solely responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations and should shore, slope, or bench the sides of the excavations as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom. The contractor's "responsible person" as defined in "CFR Part 1926," should evaluate the soil exposed in the excavations as part of the contractor's safety procedures. In no case should slope height, slope inclination, or excavation depth, including utility trench excavation depth, exceed those specified in local, state, and federal safety regulations. We are providing this information solely as a service to our client. PSI is not assuming responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor's activities; such responsibility is not being implied and should not be inferred. If the excavations are left open and exposed to the elements for a significant length of time, desiccation of the clays may create minute shrinkage cracks which could allow large pieces of clay to collapse or slide into the excavation. Materials removed from the excavation should not be stockpiled immediately adjacent to the excavation, inasmuch as this load may cause a sudden collapse of the embankment.


September 9, 2019

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


6 GEOTECHNICAL RISK

The concept of risk is an important aspect of the geotechnical exploration. The primary reason for this is that the analytical methods used to develop geotechnical recommendations do not comprise an exact science. The analytical tools which geotechnical engineers use are generally empirical and must be used in conjunction with engineering judgment and experience. Therefore, the solutions and recommendations presented in the geotechnical exploration should not be considered risk-free and, more importantly, are not a guarantee that the interaction between the soils and the proposed structure will perform as planned. The engineering recommendations presented in the preceding section constitutes PSI’s professional estimate of those measures that are necessary for the proposed structure to perform according to the proposed design based on the information generated and referenced during this exploration, and PSI’s experience in working with these conditions.

7 REPORT LIMITATIONS

The recommendations submitted in this report are based on the available subsurface information developed by PSI and on the design, information furnished by Ms. Annissa Neider, AIA, NCARB, Project Manager of ms consultants, inc for the proposed project. If there are any revisions to the plans for the proposed project, or if deviations from the subsurface conditions noted in this report are encountered during construction, PSI should be retained to determine if changes in the recommendations are required. If PSI is not retained to perform these functions, PSI will not be responsible for the impact of those conditions on the geotechnical recommendations for the project. The Geotechnical Engineer warrants that the findings, recommendations, specifications, or professional advice contained herein, have been presented after being prepared in accordance with generally accepted professional engineering practice in the fields of foundation engineering, soil mechanics and engineering geology. No other warranties are implied or expressed. After the plans and specifications are complete, it is recommended that PSI be provided the opportunity to review the final design drawings and specifications, in order to verify that the earthwork and foundation recommendations are properly interpreted and implemented. At that time, it may be necessary to submit supplementary recommendations. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of ms consultants, inc. for the specific application to the proposed retaining wall and drainage system project for the Poland Library, located at 311 S. Main Street, Poland, Mahoning County, Ohio.

The Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), AASHTO 1988 and ASTM designations D2487 and D-2488 areused to identify the encountered materials unless otherwise noted. Coarse-grained soils are defined as havingmore than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve (0.075mm); they are described as: boulders,cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine-grained soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve;they are defined as silts or clay depending on their Atterberg Limit attributes. Major constituents may be addedas modifiers and minor constituents may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size.
