Project No. D-3885-06 Christ Our Savior Catholic Parish Induced Flooding: The site lies far and/or high enough lrom the coast or any large inland body of water to preclude the hazards of tsunami or seiche waves or inundation from the rupture of an up-gradient reservoir. Induced Subsidence: The unconsolidated alluvial sequence beneath the site is susceptible to some dynamic compression. The degree of differential subsidence across the site is anticipated to be negligible. However, differential settlement may occur due to liquefaction. Field Investigation A. Hollow Stem Auger Borings Field explorations consisted of seven test holes (B- l through B-7) drilled by means of an 8" diameter hollow stem auger drill rig and five Cone Penetrometer Tests (CPT-l through CPT-5), at the locations shown on Plot Plan with Boring / CPT Locations Map (Plate B- 2). A record of the materials encountered during drilling was made by our field representative and is presented in Appendix B. The lines designating the interface between soil strata on the log of Test Holes represent approximate boundaries. The transition between strata may be gradual. Each test hole was examined and logged in the field. Representative samples were obtained to classi] the soils. In addition, relatively undisturbed samples were obtained for laboratory testing. The relative sampler penetration resistance exhibited by the soils types encountered is tabulated in the blows per foot column of the Log of Test Holes. The attached logs tabulate data based on laboratory classification tests and visual observation by the field geologist at the site. Standard Penetration Resistance Subsurlace conditions are considered to be susceptible to liquefaction during a strong 8 I T I I E I T I I T I T I I I I E I E
