Subject: Preliminary Soils Exploration
Hillsborro Subdivision
S.W. ~ S.E. ~., Section ll~
T. ll N.~ R. 3 W., S.M. AK
Dear Mr. Kvasager:
Transmitted ~th this letter are the results of the subsurface
investigation that we performed to provide preliminary soils infor-
mation to aid your engineers and the Municipality of Anchorage,
Department of Environmental Quality in evaluating the proposed
subdivision of the referenced property into Hillsborro Subdivision.
At your request~ we drilled twelve test holes in the approximate
locations shown on the Boring Location Sketch, Plate Ohe, fourteen
to twenty feet deep, with a Nodwell mounted "Mobile B-50" drill
fitted ~th 6" O.D. continuous flight auger. Samples were taken
at 5' intervals by removing the auger from the boring, then removing
a sample of the cuttings from the flights of the auger from near the
bit.
All soils observed were visually classified in the field by the
writer who was present on the site full time to locate the borings,
direct the drilling~ log the borings, and obtain the samples. The
logs of the borings are presented on Plates 2-.ll follov~ng the text
of this letter. At your request~ one sample of the soil strata most
likely to accept on site sewage effluent from the proposed development
from each boring was analyzed in the laboratory to determine the
particle size distribution. The analyses of these samples are

presented on Plates 12-23 following the text. The classification
of the remainder of the strata was done visually and is subject
to change upon further testing of the samples, if required. All
samples were classified in accordance with the Unified Soils
Classification System presented on ?late 25 and the Textural
Classification Soils Triangle presented on Plate 24. The samples
will be stored for three months for further testing.
The purpose of the investigation was to provide subsurface
information to your engineers and to the Municipality of Anchorage
for review of the proposed plat. Included in the necessary infor-
mation is the depth to seasonal free water. This information was
obtained by placing 4" nominal perforated PVC pipe in the borings,
then monitoring the free water level within the pipe after the
level had stabilized, typically one or two days after drilling.
The information obtained is presented on the boring logs and on the
boring location sketch.
The water levels were again observed on 12 January 1979 with
the following results;
BORING DEPTH TO FREE WATER BORING DEPTH TO FREE WATER
I l' 7 More than 8' (slough below)
2 4.5' 8 Slough below 5'
3 5.5' 9 4'
4 5.5' 10 4.5'
5 4.5' ll 7'
6 More than 9' (Slough
below) 12 4.8'
In many instances the borings sloughed at or above the free
water level precluding the installation of the pipe sufficiently deep
to observe the stabilized free water level. In these instances the
depth to the free water level was estimated from observation of the
cuttings and performance of the drill rig. Please note that the
water level observations were made late in December at a time when
the water level may have been approaching a lower seasonal level.
However~ it is possible to monitor the water levels in the stand
pipes throughout the seasons, if care is taken to observe the levels

at times when surface water entering through the top of the boring
is not temporarily affecting the observation.
Drilling refusal was encountered in several borings. Drilling
refusal is defined for the purposes of this report as when signifi-
cant resistance to drilling is encountered, as if drilling through
rock, with little or no gain in depth with significant effort.
Please note that this loose definition defines fairly competent
igneous or metsmlorphic boulders or bedrock. Drilling refusal
is not likely to be encountered in highly fractured or weathered
rock, nor in sedimentary nor soft metsmorphic rock. To try to
define the nature of refusal where above 15' deep, a second attempt
at the boring was made 5' to lO' from the original boring location.
~'~en refusal was encountered at approximately the.same depth the
writer would assume either large boulders at that depth, or bedrock.
If no refusal was encountered in the second boring, the writer would
assume the first boring encountered a boulder~ although a highly
irregular bedrock profile could also account for the discrepancy.
Due to the bit design and sampling techniques accurate determination
of the nature and profile of underlying bedrock is not always
possible.
Three conditions most directly affect the development of this
property;
l) Relatively high apparent free water.
2) Relatively permeable soils in areas where the free water
level is sufficiently deep for development.
3) Relatively impermeable soils and/or bedrock at depth.
State ordinance requires the lowest portion of an on-site
sewer system be separated from any water table by 4 feet. The high
water level will prohibit construction of conventional on-site sewer
systems in areas where the depth to the free water level is less
than 6 feet; and will cause concern in areas where less than 8 feet.
Additionally, due to the stratigraphy of the soils and area drainage
features, it is possible that the free water level may fluctuate sig-
nificantly in response to spring melt or heavy rain.

While the permeable sandy gravel soils overlying the more
impervious soils at depth will provide for hydraulic design of
absorption systems with probably 100 square feet of absorption area
required per bedroom~ high density development of the area is not
likely to be acceptable to the Municipality due to possible
contamination of the shallow~ probably perched water table which
may find its way to surface water sources due to the relatively
deep natural ravine and stream to the north of the development.
As you recall, this factor was mentioned by Mr. Les Buchholz during
our meeting of January 12, 1979. The liability of contaminating
the surface source can be reduced by installing reliable package
treatment plants in lots where the free water level allows con-
struction of drainfields; maximizing the possible number of lots
in this area which can be developed. Unsuitable lots may be made
into a large tract for park or recreation or future development.
One might also consider collecting sewage from the lots at a common
treatment facility then discharging the treated effluent in a
common drainfield or into the creek with proper treatment and
clearance from significantly more governmental agencies. It is
not likely the community treatment plant alternative will be cost
effective for i acre lots and may not be acceptable to the
Municipality. As you are well aware discharge of the effluent into
the creek will require a high quality, probably chlorinated effluent,
and careful supervision and monitoring of the treatment facility.
The scope of this effort did not include analysis of the treatment
alternatives; and I am not aware of the most current state and
federal regulations in this field.
We trust the foregoing is sufficient to your immediate needs°
While intended to be comprehensive within the scope of a preliminary
soil investigation~ it may not be exhaustive of the possibilities.
Therefore, please feel free to call should questions arise o~ if
we can be of further service.
Very truly yours,
