Geotechnical Soil Infiltration Investigation <br />2610 Cal Young Road, Eugene, Oregon <br /> <br />4 | P a g e CORE GeoEngineering, Inc. Project No. 25-1127 <br /> Version 1.0, January 23, 2026 <br /> <br />5.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS <br />Subsurface exploration for this report was conducted on December 5, 2025. The approximate exploration <br />locations are shown on Figure 2. The client retained an excavation contractor with a Bobcat E48 mini- <br />excavator to excavate five test pits (TP-1 through TP-5) at locations selected by the client and civil engineer <br />across the subject property. Test pits were excavated to depths ranging from 5.5 to 8 feet below ground <br />surface (bgs). A CORE engineering geologist examined and logged the exposed soil profiles, recording key <br />data such as soil consistency, stratigraphy, soil engineering characteristics, and groundwater occurrence. <br />Soils were classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Bulk soil samples were <br />collected from selected test pits and stored in relatively air-tight plastic bags for laboratory testing. We <br />conducted soil infiltration testing within the test pits at various depths using the open -pit falling-head <br />testing method in accordance with the City of Eugene Stormwater Management Manual. After testing, <br />the explorations were backfilled by the client's excavation contractor. Test pit logs are presented in the <br />appendix of this report. <br /> <br />It is important to note that the exploration locations were determined in the field by pacing or measuring <br />distances from visible property corners and other site features indicated on the provided plans. Therefore, <br />the exploration locations should be considered approximate. Summary exploration logs are attached. The <br />stratigraphic contacts shown on the individual subsurface logs represent approximate boundaries <br />between different soil types, but actual transitions may be more gradual. The soil and groundwater <br />conditions described are specific to the dates and locations of the explorations and may not be <br />representative of other areas or times. A summary of the soil and groundwater conditions encountered <br />during the explorations is provided below. <br /> <br />5.1 Soil Descriptions <br />Topsoil/Fill: At the exploration locations, the ground surface was typically vegetated with grass, scattered <br />trees, shrubs, and blackberries. A topsoil horizon consisting of dark brown to black, organic Lean CLAY <br />(OL-CL) with fine roots and remnant tree roots, and gravels was typically observed from ground surface <br />to approximately 18 inches below ground surface (bgs). At the location of test pit TP-1 a fill layer consisting <br />of brown, medium stiff to stiff, moist to wet Lean CLAY (CL) was observed beneath the topsoil, extending <br />to a depth of approximately 4.5 feet bgs. <br /> <br />Lean CLAY (CL): Underlying the topsoil/fill, native soils typically consisted of brown to dark brown, medium <br />stiff to stiff, very moist to wet, moderate to high plasticity Lean CLAY (CL). This soil unit was observed to <br />extend to depths ranging from approximately 4.5 to 8 feet bgs. Soil moisture content testing conducted <br />in accordance with ASTM D2216 on representative samples collected from a depth of 8 feet bgs within <br />test pit TP-1 indicated an in-situ moisture content of 41.6 percent. Sieve analysis conducted in accordance <br />with ASTM D6913 and D1140 indicated 93.4 percent passing the No. 200 sieve. <br /> <br />Lean CLAY with Gravel (CL): Underlying the Lean CLAY, soils typically consisted of brown, medium stiff, <br />very moist to wet, moderately plastic Lean CLAY with Gravel (CL). This soil unit was observed to extend to <br />the maximum depth of exploration within test pits TP-2 through TP-5 and was not encountered within <br />test pit TP-1. The soil contained subrounded gravel-sized rock within the clay matrix. Soil moisture content <br />testing conducted in accordance with ASTM D2216 on a representative sample collected from a depth of
