Exploratory pits were excavated on July 6, 1998 with a backhoe. 2. Locations of exploratory pits were measured approximately by pacing from features on the site plan provided. 3. Elevations of the exploratory pits were obtained by interpolation between contours on the site plan provided. Logs are drawn to depth. 4. The exploratory pit locations and elevations should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. 5. The lines between materials shown on the exploratory pit logs represent the approximate boundaries between material types and transitions may be gradual. 6.

Guidelines It Is Important to follow these guidelines when using construction machinery: • Avoid direct contact with chambers when using a large- wheeled vehicle, especially if the soil has not been compacted. Always be sure to have a minimum of 12' of compacted cover over chambers. Chambers with this minimum covering can support a load of 16,000 pounds per axle in all soils except sands. • Only drive across trenches. Never drive down the length of the trenches. • To avoid further compaction of the soils, never drive heavy vehicles over the completed system. installing the Chambers. , . , A , © Check the header pipe to be sure that it is level. © Set the inlet pipe invert at 7'/;' from the bottom of the a ° i trench to the bottom of the inlet when installing Standard d t , S.
