Subsurface Investigation for Proposed Eklutna Housing
Project Located Within the Southeast 1/4, Section 24,
Township 16N, Range 1W, Seward Meridian, Alaska
Gentlemen:
The fOllowing are the results of subsurface investigation conducted
on the subject site on December 19 and 20, 1979. The purpose of
this investigation was to determine the feasibility of on-site
wastewater disposal systems and to provide subsurface information
to aid in the design and construction of roads and utilities.
Subsurface exploration was conducted by means of tractor mounted
backhoe. The test pits were logged and located in the field by
Tom Williams and Joe Millhouse, geologists with Alaska Testlab.
Excavation was performed by Erickson's Backhoe Service of Chugiak,
Alaska.
As the test pits were excavated the geologist visually classified
the soils and took samples of important horizons. With the
exception of large cobbly samples, these were sealed in plastic
bags to protect the natural moisture content. Samples returned
to the laboratory were visually classified and moisture content
and dry strength determined. Samples of similar color, texture
and particle size distribution were grouped together and given an
arbitrary group designation. Grain size analysis was performed
on a composite sample of the important group rather than on
individual samples.
The site may be roughly characterized as having two soil horizons.
The surficial layer, which varies from about one to five feet in
thickness, consists of interlayered sand, gravel and occasional
organic silt. The thickness and comp6sition of this layer is
highly variable between test pits. The second horizon is very
uniform among the test pits. It consists of well graded sandy
gravel with cobbles. This material is present below the surficial
layer in all test pits and is the predominant soil on the site.

Test Hole Log - Description. Guide
The soil descriptions shown on the logs are the best estimate of the soil's
characteristics at the time of field examination and as such do not achieve the
preclston of a laboratory testmg procedure. If the log includes soils samples,
those samples receive an independent textucal classification in thc laboratory
to verify the field examinatlom
The logs often include the following items:
Depth Interval -- usually shown to 0.1 foot within that zone no
significant change in soil type was observed through &.ill action, direct
observation or sampling.
Frost Classification - NFS. Fl, F2, F3, F4, see "Soil Classification
Chart"
Texture of Soil - An engineering classification of the soils by particle
size and proporuon, see "Soft Classification Chart". note the
proportions are approximate and modifications to the soil group due to
stratification, inclusions and changes m properties are included.
Moisture Content -- this is a qualitative measure:
d_Ly_, no or little apparent surface moisture
damp, moisture forms portion of color, less than plastic limit,
wet. no free water, often soft. if cohesive soil,
saturated, free water may be squeezed out. ifa free draining soil:
dilatent at natural moisture content, if a non-plastic silt or fine
sand. {The motsture content is further definedby reference to P1,
LW, NP, M % or dftatency.
Density - refers to more-or-less non-cohesive coils, such as sand gravel
mixtures with or without a fine fraction, derived from drilling action
and/or sample data: usually described as: very loose, loose medium
dense, very dense. General intent is to portray earthwork
characteristics.
Stiffness - refers to more-or-less cohesive soils and fine graixted silts of
~ clay-silt groups. Derived from drill action and~or sample data. Very
soft, soft, stiff, very stiff and hard are commonly used terms.
Particle size - The largest particle recovered by the split spoon is
1-3/8". Shelby tube Y'. auger flights minute-manj 2". Auger flights
(B-50 hollow stem 6"-8'. Larger particles are described indirectly by
action of the drilling and are referred to as cobbles. 3" to 8". or
boulders 8"+. Therefore whe~ revmwlng thc gradation sheets if any,
the descriptxon on the hole log must be considered for an indication of
larger particles.
Unified Soil Classification - This ts a two letter code. See Unified
Classification sheet for further definition. In some cases AASHO and or
FAA soil classificauons may be shown as well as the unified.
Atterberg Limits - useful for fine grained and other plastic softs.
P._h natural moisture content believed to be less than plastic limit
PI+; natural moisture content believed to be between plastic and liquid
l~-mit s
Lw_+; natural moisture content believed to be greater than liquid limit
NP; non-plastic, useful as a
materials.
modifying descripuon of some silty
Dilateltcv - is the ability of water to migrate to the surface of a
saturated or nearl} saturated soil sample when vibrated orjohcd - u~ed
as an aid to determine iD' a fine grained soil ~s a slightly or non-plastic
silt or a volcanic ash.
Rock flour - finely ground soil that is not plastic but otherwise appears
similar to a clayey silt.
Organic Content -- usually described as Peat, PT, sometimes includes
discrete particles such as wood, coal. etc. as a modifier to an inorgamc
soil. Quantity described as: trace, or an estimate of volume, or. tn case
of all organic, - as Peat. This may include tundra, muskeg and bog
material.
Muck - a modifier used to describe very soft. sem~-organic depostts
u~ually occuring below a peat deposl~
Amorphus peat - organic particles nearly or fully disintegrated.
Fibrous Peat - organic particles more-or-less intact.
Bottom of Testhole - includes last sample interval.
Frost Line -- seasonal frost de pth as described by drilling action and/or
samples at the time of drilling.
Frozen Ground - other than frost line. described by samples, usually
includes descripuon of ice content, often will include modified Unified
Classification for frozen soils - this ts a special case related to
permafrost studies.
Free Water Level - The free water level noted during drilling. This is
not necessarily the stattc water table ar the ume of drilling or at other
seasons. Static water table determination in other than very permeable
soils requires observation wells or p~ezomcter installations, used only in
special cases.
Blow/6" The number of blows of a 140 weight free falling 30" to
advance a 2" split spoon 6"; thc number of blows for a 12" advance is,
by definition, the standard penetration.
M% -- natural moisture content of the soil sample, usually not
performed on clean sands or gravels below the water table,
Type of Sample -
S__P, refers to 2" split spoon driven toro tile soil by 140 pound
wetght, a disturbed sa*nple,
S, thin wall tube. "Shelby" used to obtain undisturbed samples
of fine grained soil

C, cut sample, undisturbed sample from wall of trench.
Dry Strength - a useful indicator of a soil's clayey fraction, N=None,
L=Low. M=Medium. ii=High
Group - The sam pies are placed nto apparently similar groups based
on color and texture and are arbitrarily assigned a group letter. Further
disturbed tests including Atterberg Limits, grain s~zc, moisture-dcnsity

Attention: Mike Jones
Subject: Addendum to Subsurface Investigation Dated December 27,
1979, Eklutna Housing Project, Eklutna, Alaska
Gentlemen:
We have received an inquiry from the Municipality of Anchorage,
Department of Public Health and Environmental Protection as to
the possibility of the ground water level ris.ing to within 16
feet of the surface such that it might affect construction of on-
site sewage disposal systems.
It is inconceivable to us that a ground water problem would ever
exist at the site. All of our test pits showed no trace of a
ground water table down to their full depth of approximately 11
feet. Normally, we would have explored the site using a drill
rig and drilled borings to a depth of at least 16 feet, as required
by the Municipality of Anchorage. However, our knowledge of this
particular site was such that we were concerned that this would
not be possible. We knew the site was very clean, coarse gravels.
A review of the logs of the test pits will show that this is
exactly what was encountered. Many cobbles and boulders were
excavated with sizes ranging up to 18 inches in diameter. It is
doubtful whether a 16 foot boring could have been drilled on the
site..
We just cannot conceive of their being a water table problem at
this location. There is a substantial road cut adjacent to the
site in the southeast. This cut probably is 15 feet deep and
shows no evidence of any seepage or ground water. Additionally,
about one-fourth mile to the northwest is a large gravel pit that
has been developed jointly by MB Contracting and the Eklutna
Village Corporation. Many areas of %his pit have been excavated
well over 20 feet, again with no ground water intrusion.

Dear Mr. Eckels:
Re: Eklutna Housing Project
Enclosed is a copy of our typical specifications for drilling a community
water well. These specifications would be used for drilling the community
well proposed for the Eklutna housing area, although review and approval
by Alaska Department of Enviromnental Conservation and the Anchorage
Borough would be necessary prior to construction. We would anticipate
incorporating any specific requirements these agencies have into the final
specs before proceeding with a well drilling contract or foroe account
operation.
We have not yet had the opportunity to perform any soils analysis at the
site. However, it appears from the testingwhid~ your engineer has done,
and the location proposed for the well (200 foot radius from any source of
contamination) that a safe water source can be established.
I hope this information is helpful. ~ will be able to provide more specific
information related to the well design, distribution system, and cost
estimates for these facilities after examining the site and performing
additional design work later this spring.

RECORDS:
The Contractor shall keep an accurate record of the location of the
top and bottom of each stratum oenetrated, and shall furnish the
Contracting Officer with a.repo~t of the tyoe of material
encountered in each stratum at the completion of the work. The
drilling log shall be kept as the drilling progresses and shall be
available for inspection at any time during the well drilling by
the Contracting Officer or his designated representative.
The Contractor shall keep an accurate record as assembled of the
order, number, size and length of each individual piece of casing
installed in the well. Copies of the above records and welt logs
shall be furnished in a complete and satisfactory form to the
Contracting Officer within 7 days after a hole is complete~ whether
~ccepted or abandoned.
WELL SCREEN INSTALLATION:
~hen a water bearing stratum is encountered, the Contractor shall
test the approximate capacity of the well by bailing. If the
bailing test indicates a production rate approaching or exceeding
the yield required, the Contractor shall pro'ced to finish the
well. If the bailing test indicates production rate less than the
yield required, the Contractor shall continue Orilling upon
approval of the Contracting Officer.
A well screen shall be used. Perforations in the casing shall not
be used in lieu of a screen.
The following paragraphs specify the screening material, screen
selection proceoures and screen installation:
SCREEN MATERAL: The well screen shall be of the continuous
~lot design, fabricated of special shaped cold drawn bars.
The cuter winding that forms the screen.surface and the
internal longitudinal bars shall be joined at each
intersection by welding. Both members shall be type 304
stainless steel conforming to (AISi) requirements. Pipe base
screen will not be acceptable.
The screen and all accessories reouired for installation shall
be commercial products of a manufacturer regularly engaged in
the production of such equipment.
B. SCREEN SELECTION: After a w~ter-bearing formation has been
-found capable of adequate production, the Contractor shall
collect a representative sample of the formation and submit it
for sieve analysis to a screen manufacturer of some other firm
regularly engaged in the sieve analysis of soils. The (PHS)
project engineer will select the screen size and length to be
used based on telephonic and/or ~ritten results of the sieve
analysis and manufacturer's recommendations. A copy of the
sieve analysis will be provided the Contracting Officer or his
representative prior to the installation of the well screen.
The well screen openings shall be of the proper width and
geometry to permit the maximum practical sand and fines free
yield, without clogging or jamming, after development of the
well.
If it is necessary to join several screens together to obtain
adequate yield, the joints connecting the screen sections
shall be butt-type couplings of the same material as the
~NSTALLATION: The screen shall be installed by one of the
~ollowing methods: pull back, open hole, or bail or wash
down, as described in Groundwater and Well~, UOP, Oohnson
Div~sion, Chapter 12.
IX. WELL DEVELOP,,uNT.
The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer or his
representative 24 hours before development is to begin. The
Contracting Officer or his representative shall be present during
development.
The Contractor shall take extreme care in the performance of his
work in order to prevent the breakdo~n or caving in of strata
overlying that (or those) from ~zhich the water is being dra'.,zn. The
well shall be thoroughly deve!ooed by a surge method or high
Yelocity jetting and, if necessary, by chemical treatment, or other
appropriate means to remove all silt, sand, mud, etc~, from the
pores of the water bearing strata. Hi-velocity jetting ~ith the
use of polyphosphates, in concentrations of five pounds (5 lbs.) of
polyphosphates per 100 gallons of jetting water, shall be required
for any drilling method which has used drilling mud through the
water bearing strata or stratum. Pressure pumps and jetting
nozzles ~il.1 be sized such that a minimum water velocity of 150
feet per second is achieved.
~he well shall be thoroughly cleaned of all suspended matter ~nd
sand by either bailing or pumping. Development of the well shall
be continued until water pumped from the well at the rate
determined by the Contracting Officer is clear and free from
Fines. The water shall be considered sand free when all samples
taken at the determined pumping rate contain less ~han t~o parts
per million (by weight) of sand, or are acceptable to the
Contracting Officer. Neither bailing nor pumping shall be
considered a development method under this contract, or chargeable
under line items set forth under this contract.
I~ [he water pumped from the well is not clear and free of fines
after a development time of four (4) hours, the Contracting Officer
shall be contacted regarding a decision on further development.
In those instances ~vhere a correctly constructed and develope~ well
~ill not clear up despite the bes~ efforts of the Contractor, the
well will be abandoned. Such determination shall be made by the
Contracting Officer. .
lhe Contractor shall submit his proposed development methods to the
Con~rac[ing Officer for approval prior to the initiation of well
construction.
TEST PLNPIN~:
Upon completion of the well and after it has been satisfactorily
developed, the Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, and
materials reouired to test pump the well at a rate determined by
the Contractir~ Officer that shall cause the drawdown in the well
to reach 75% o~ the available drawdown, but in no case shall the
pumping rate be greater than 100 gpm. The Contractor shall also
Furnish equipment for measuring the water level in the well. The
measuring equipment shall be capable of an accuracy within 1/2
inch. The pumping equipment shall be capable of pumping 100
gallons per minute against a total dynamic head of 200 feet.
Equipment shall also be provided for measuring the discharge rate
and controlling the pump discharge to the rate specified by the
Contracting Officer or his representative.
Fmasurement of pumping rate shall be made by water meter, orifice
meter, or wier for all flows over 10 gpm:
Test pump results shall be recorded on forms Supplied by the
Contracting Officer, (See Appendix). Readings shall be taken at
the time intervals indicated on the forms.
Test pumping shall last until the water level stabilizes, or until
%be Contractor is directed by the Contracting Officer to stop
~Jmping. ' .....
The Contractor shall be responsible for furnishing and installing
811 necessary piping for conducting the water being pumped in these
tests to the nearest available drainage.
If a pump is to be furnished as part of this contract, test pumping
shall not be done with the pump that is to be furnished as part of
the contract.
Recover readings shall be taken in the new well by the Contractor.
Except in cases where complete recovery to the static level occurs
tn lesser time, recording depths of water in the new and existing
wells shall be continued for a period at least four (4) hours after
pumping has stopped, in order to obtain data for constructing a
recovery curve. Recordings shall be taker during this four (4)
hour period, as indicated on the attached recovery data sheet.
Recovery readings are to be taken only after the maximum test
pumping rate, and are not required at the end of lesser test
pumping rates.
The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer at least 24
hours prior to performing any test pumping.

GROUT ING;
Surface grout shall consist of bentonite placed in the annular
space around the outside of the casing after the well is completed,
with a minimum thickness of two inches (2"). Grouting shall begin
at the ground surface and extend a minimum of 20 feet below the
ground surface.
Ali grouting shall be performed by pumoing bentonite slurry through
a conductor pipe from the bottom of the annular space to be grouted
towards the surface. If a starter casing is utilized it shall be
extracted during the grouting operation.
If the diameter of the total length of the drilled hole is larger
than the outside diameter of the wail casing, bentonite grout shall
extend from the ground surface to within five feet (5') of the end
of the well casing. Before proceeding with placing the grout the
Contractor shall secure the Contracting Officer's approval of the
grouting method he proposes to use and the bentonite slurry mix.
No method will be seoroved that does not soecify the forcino of the
under pressure from the oo:ccm of the soace to De grouted
s the surface. The grouting shall de done continuously and
-in a manner :nec will ensure the fil!ing of the entire annular
space with grout in a single operation.
XII, CLEANING ANO DISINFECTING:
After the well has been completed, it shall be thoroughly cleaned
of all foreign substances, including tools, timbers, rope, debris
Of any kind, cement, oil, joint dope, and scum. The casing
interior shall be thoroughly swabbed, using alkalies if necessary,
to remove oil, grease, or joint dope.
After the welt has been tested for capacity, the well shall be
disinfected with a chlorine solution.
The chlorine sol~ton used shall be of such volume and s~rength and
shall be applied such that a concentration of at least 50 ppm of
chlorine is obtained in all parts of the well for a period of 24
hours. Chlorine solutions shall be prepared and applied in
accordance with the directions of, and to the satisfaction of, the
Contracting Officer. Dumoino of oranular HTH into the top of the ·
well shall not be allowed.
A water sample shall be taken for bacteriological analysis by the
Contracting Officer, after the well has been completed and pumped
by the Contractor so that no chlorine coot is detectable. If

positive bacteriological results are obtained, the Contractor shall
repeat the oisinfection process until negative results are
obtained. If it is determined that th6 aquifer has been
contaminated due to actions by the Contractor or faulty
construction, the well will not be accepted until a safe water
supply can be obtained from the well.
ABANDON4ENT OF THE WELL:
In the event the well shall not be accepted for completion due to
&nsufficient caoacity or yield, or shoutd it be abandoned because
of poor alignment, ioss of tools, quality of water, or for any
other cause, the Contractor shall fill the abandoned hole with clay
or. as directed by the Contracting Officer. -
.PL~qBNESS AND ALIGnmENT:
The well shall not deviate from the vertical by more than 2-1/2
~nches in each.lO0 feet of depth.
A straightness and alignment test shall be run on questionable
~ells after the well is cased. This shall consist of running a
pipe of 40 foot length and ~hose outsiOe diameter is between 1/4
~nch and 1/2 inch smaller than ~he casing to the bottom of the well.
~f the test pipe binds, does not pass through the well casing
freely, or is bent as a result of testing procedure, the well shall
be rejected as drilled and cased with no payment to the Contractor,
until the deficiency is corrected to thm Contracting Officer's
satisfaction.
The ~ell shall be capped ~ith a tight-fitting screwed flange, or
~elded cap, or similar device satisfactory to the Contracting
Officer, until pumping equipment ~s installed.
PRECAUTIONS D~RtNG CONSTRUCTION:
The Contractor shall take such precautions as are necessary or as
may be required to prevent contaminated wa~er or water having
undesirable physical or chemical characteristics from entering
through the opening made by the Contractor in drilling the well,
the stratum, or strata from which the well is to draw its supply.
He shall also take all necessary precautions during the consbrucion
period to prevent contaminated water, gasoline, oil, etc., 'from
entering the well either through the opening or by seepage through
the ground surface.

SUBJECT: Bavarian Heights Water and Sewer
RECEIVED
The Department has reviewed the conceptual plans for the water and sewer
system for Bavarian Heights. There appears to be room for the proposed
sewage treatment system and alternative systems. However, final approval
of the system would require far more information about the impervious
strata location, soils type, the soil percolation and permeability, and
the subsurface drainage in the proposed subdivision and on the property
next to the subdivision. Therefore, the Department can grant approval
of the water and sewer system concept only.
Sincerely,
