Subject: Subsurface Investigation for Suitability of
On-Site Sewer - Maryland Subdivision
Dear Mrs. Nettleton:
Transmitted herein in accordance with your instructions are
the results of the above referenced investigation as performed
by us on August 28 and 29, 1976. The scope of this project
is investigation for suitability of an on-site sewerage
system.
Included in this transmittal are:
Test Hole Location Sketch Figure 1
Test Hole Log Table A
Explanatory Information Sheets 1-3
Adjacent Soils Information Appendix A
The exploration was conducted using a Nodwell mounted Mobile
Dr~ll Model B-50 drill rig with a continuous flight solid
stem auger. The rig is owned and operated by Denali Drilling'
Inc. Drilling was supervised, the test holes logged and
percolation test performed by Mr. Wallace Oliver, staff
technician with Alaska Testlab.
The test hole was placed at the approximate location shown
on Figure 1. The log of this test hole is included as
Table A of this report. In interpreting the log it would be
helpful to utilize the explanatory information contained in
Sheets 1 to 3 of this report.
Mrs. Mary Nettleton
September 14, 1976
Page 2
When drilling was completed a 3/4" slotted PVC pipe was
inserted in the hole to aid in determining the fr~e water
level. For the percolation.test, the test hole was filled
with water and left overnight to saturate. On returning the
next day, the hole was refilled with water and the drop in
the waLer level carefully monitored over the next 60 minutes.
This procedure is not a standardized percolation test,
however, we understand.that the Municipality of Anchorage,
Department of Health & Environmental Protection, prefers'
tests performed in this manner to evaluate a site for a
proposed on-site~sewera~e sytem.
using the above test, the observed minimum percolation rate
was 3.5 miDutes per inch.
No water table was observed during drilling, but it should
be noted that the free water level.normally fluctuates
seasonally and with precipita~i[on.
We hope this report meets your present needs. If we can be
of further service, please feel fr~e to contact us.
Yours very truly,

Test Hole Log - Description Guide
~ soil descriptions shown on the logs are the best estimate of the soil's
dnaractcristics at thc time of fickl exa~nination ami as such do not achieve tile
precision of a laboratory testing procedure. If thc log includes soils ~amples,
,'~se samples receive au indcpeudent textural classification iu thc Inboratory
~ ~crify the field examination.
logs often include the following items:
Depth lntctval- usually shown to 0.1 foot, within that zonc no
s-ignifica~' change ill soil type was observed through drill action, direct
observation or sampling.
Frost Classification -- NFS. Fl, F2, F3, F4, see "Soil Classification
Chart"
Texture of Soil - /tn engineering classification of the soils by particle
size and p~oportion, see "Soil Classification Chart", note tile
proportions are approximate and modifications to ibc soil group due t0
stratification, inclusions and changes in properties are included.
Moisture Content ~ this is a qualitative measm'e:
~, no or little apparent surface moisture,
damp, moisture forms portion of color, less than plastic m t,
wet, no free water, often soft, if cohesive soil. ' '
saturated, free wate~ may be squeezed out, ifa free draining soil;· '
~ilatent at natura] moisture content, ifa non-plastic silt or fine
sand. {The moisture content isfmtber defi edbyreference toPI,
LW ~P.M%or diiatency.)
Density - refers to more-or-less non-cohesive soils, such as sand gravel
mixtures with or witbout a fine fraction, derived from drilling action
and/or ~mple 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 grained silts of
~silt groups. Derived from drill action and/or sample data. Very
soft, soft, stiff, very stiff and ha~d are commonly ~sed terms.
Particle size - The largest particle recovered by the split spoon is
~-3/8", Shelby tube 3", auger flights (miuute-man) 2", Auger flights
(B-S0 hollow stem) 6"-8" Larger particles are described indh-ectly by
actiou of the dr~ling and ate referred to as cobbles, 3" to 8', or
boulders 8"+. Therefore when reviewing the gradation sheets, if any,
the dcsctiptio9 on the hole log must be cohsidered for an mdicatiou of
larger particles.
Uuified Soil Classification - This is a two letter code. See Unified
Classification sheet for further definition. In some cases AASIIO and/or
FAA soil classificatiour may be shown as well as the unified.
Attetberg Limits - useful for fine grained and other plastic soils.
P~; natural moisture content believed to be less d~an plastic limit
PD; natural moisture content believed to bc between plastic aud liquid

Rock flour -- finely ground soil that is not plastic but otherwise appears
~imilar to a clayey silt.
Organic Content - usually described as Peat, PT, sometimes includes
~]~crcte paiticle~ such as wood, coal, etc. as a ~nodifier to an inorganic
soil· Quantity described as; trace, or an estimate of volume, or, in case
of all organic, - as Peat. This may include tundra, muskeg and bog
material.
Muck - a modifier used to describe very soft, semi-organic deposits

Frozen Ground -- other than frost line, described by samples, Usually
.inc udes description of ice content, often will inClude modified Unified
Classification for frozen soils - this is a special case related to
permafrost atudics.
Free Water Level - The free water level noted during drilling. This is
not necessarily the static water table at the time of drilling or at other
seasons. Static water table determination iu other than very permeable
soils requires obserw~tion wells or piczomcter installations, uscd only in
special cases.
Blow/6" - The number of bloxvs of a 140 weigh/ fief falling 30" to
advance a 2" split spoon 6"; the number of blows for a 12" advance is,
by definition, the standard penetration.

The soils were generally open and permeable, being sand gravel
mi×tures.
The exploration was accomplished with a track mounted Mobile
B-50 drill fitted with solid flight auger. Samples were taken
from the bit at several depths an(] cuttings from all depths
were obse~zved. The soils wcrc examined by. O.M. Hatch of our
staff and the classification estimated. A minimum of confir-
mative tests have been performed in the laboratory. The drill
and crew were provided by Denali Drilling Inc.
We trust the foregoing is sufficient to your immediate needs
though not necessarily exhaustive of the possibilities. Should
there be questions do not hesitate to contact our of.lice.

Subsurface Investication on Lots 1, 2, 3, 4
DeSpirito Subdivision
Dear Mr. Byrne:
We performed a subsurface investighti0n on Lots'l,' 2, 3, and
4 of DeSpirito Subdivision on February 21, 22, 25 and 26,
1976.
· ],e exD!oration co:]g~st~d of one 20 ~ont and four lq fo.~z
test boles placed witb a B-50 ~4obile drill rig mounted on a
Flextrac-Nodwell tracked vehicle and utilizing a continuous~
solid flight auger. The drill rig was owned and operated
by Denali DrillJ.ng, Inc. The drilling was supervised and
the test holes logged by Mr. Wallace Oliver, staff technician
with Alaska Testlab.
Following this report' are:

Grab samples were taken off the auger flights in five foot
intervals in test holes 1 through 4 and two and one-half
foot intervals in test hole 5.
Samples were visually classified in the laboratory with
samples of similar color, texture and grain size distribu-
tion being grouped toocther and laboratory analysis being
performed on the group as a who:Lo.

Group E
is a silty sand that is moderately frost, susceptible
being rated F-2. Its unified classification is sM
and its gradation is on sheet four.
is a sand~ silt that is highly frost susceptible
being rated F-4. Its unified classification is ML
and its gradation is on sheet five. It is ~on-
plastic.
Water was placed in test holes one ·through four, left to
saturate overnight, refilled in the morning and the drop 'mn
the water level monitored. (Each hole was cased ·with 3/4
inch, slotted PVC pipe). The rate the water level dropped'
over the period of an hour was:
Test Hole #1 3.5 minutes/inch
Test Hole ~2 '4.0 minutes/inch
Test Hole #3 8.5 minutes/inch
Test Hole #4 5.5 minutes/inch.
Test Hole =5 was pi. ac.ed in the right-0fLway fo]? the planned
extension of Nain Tree Drive.
We hope this is sufficient ho your present needs. Please do
not hesitate to contact us if we can clarify any item.
