The Mark at Eugene January 6, 2026 <br />Geotechnical Investigation and Seismic Hazard Study 2 Project No.: 2251077 <br />Eugene, Oregon Landmark Construction, LLC <br />Disturbed soil samples were obtained in each of the borings using a split-spoon <br />sampler, typically at 2½-foot intervals to 20 feet and at 5-foot intervals thereafter. <br />The Standard Penetration Test (SPT), which is performed when the split-spoon is <br />driven, provides an indication of the relative stiffness or density of the soil. The <br />number of blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches of an 18-inch-long <br />drive is recorded and represents the standard penetration resistance, or N-value, in <br />blows per foot (bpf). Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained at various depths <br />by pushing thin-walled Shelby tubes. <br />The borings were continually logged by a FE representative during drilling. The <br />collected samples were sealed to avoid moisture loss and transported to our office <br />for further examination and potential testing. The soil profiles encountered in the <br />borings are shown in the boring logs (Appendix B). The final logs were prepared <br />based on a review of the field logs and the results of the laboratory testing, and an <br />examination of the samples in our office. Upon completion of drilling the boreholes <br />were backfilled in accordance with Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) <br />guidelines and capped with asphalt concrete (AC) cold patch, Portland cement <br />concrete (PCC), or gravel to match the existing conditions. A one-inch (I.D.) <br />standpipe piezometer was installed in borehole BH-2 to monitor the groundwater <br />levels. <br />Test Pits <br />We excavated four exploratory test pits at the site on September 25, 2025, using a <br />Yanmar SV40 mini-excavator. The test pit locations are shown in Figure 2A. The test <br />pits extended to maximum depths ranging from ±3.5 to 9.5 feet. <br />The subsurface profiles in the test pits were logged by an FE representative. Grab <br />samples of the excavated soil were obtained at selected depths and retained for <br />examination in our office and possible laboratory testing. Upon completion of each <br />exploration, the test pits were backfilled with the excavated material, which was <br />placed and tamped in place using the excavator bucket. <br />The soil profiles and sampling depths are summarized on the test pit logs in <br />Appendix B. The final logs were prepared based on a review of the field logs and <br />laboratory testing results, and an examination of the soil samples in our office. <br />Additional information regarding the logs and the definitions of symbols and <br />descriptive terms used in the logs are provided on the Important Information and <br />Symbols and the Common Soil Descriptions Terms sheets in Appendix B. The sheets <br />also include a discussion of the interpretation of the subsurface profiles at the <br />exploration locations and the potential for inherent variations in the subsurface <br />conditions across the site. <br />
