Ms. Patricia MacDonald, M.U.B.C., CSLA Park Planner Halifax Regional Municipality PO Box 1749 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 3A5 Dear Ms. MacDonald:

Re: Test Pit Investigation, Proposed Stage at 2584 Rocky Lake Drive, Waverley, NS

At your request, AMEC Environment & Infrastructure (AMEC) carried out a test pit investigation at the above referenced site. The purpose of the work was to determine the subsurface conditions at the site, and based on these conditions, to provide bearing capacity for foundation design of the proposed stage. It is understood that the proposed stage will be 7.3 m by 3.4 m (24 by 11 feet) in plan dimensions, including the deck part of the stage. The roof of the prefabricated metal stage will be supported by 4 columns. It is further understood that the site grade will most likely not be modified. SITE CONDITIONS The site is located in a park adjacent to the Shubenacadie Canal in Waverley. The site investigation was carried out on July 30, 2013 and consisted of excavating one test pit in the proposed stage area with a mini excavator to minimize the damage. The test pit, located approximately 15 m from the canal, was excavated to 2.9 m depth (maximum reach of the excavator) below existing grade. The approximate test pit location is shown on the attached plan. The test pit was backfilled immediately upon completion. A layer, 0.4 m thick, of topsoil and sod was encountered from ground surface at the test pit. Loose rock fill (150 mm minus) mixed with some silt and sand was encountered below the topsoil and extended to the full depth of the test pit. Some roots and lumber were encountered in the upper part of the rock fill. Moderate to heavy groundwater seepage was encountered at 0.8 m below ground surface. The material from the test pit was examined in the excavator’s bucket, as the test pit was filled in with water very quickly. The side walls of the test pit caved in during excavation.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS

General

It should be noted that the design recommendations for this project are provided for the guidance of the designers. The contractors bidding on or undertaking the work should make their own assessment of the site and interpretation of the factual information provided as it affects their construction procedures and scheduling. It is recommended that the topsoil be removed from within the proposed stage area. The resulting base should be densified with a large vibratory roller. Any loose areas revealed by the roller should be removed and replaced with rock fill. The site can then be brought back up to the subgrade level using structural fill (e.g. rock fill). Structural fill placed within the proposed stage area should be placed in uncompacted maximum lifts of 300 mm and compacted to the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer. All footings which will be subjected to freezing conditions should have a minimum soil cover of 1.2 m for frost protection. The proposed foundation should not be located over the present test pit. Any excavation below groundwater level should be avoided. Bearing Capacity Footings placed on the compacted structural fill as described above can be designed using a net allowable bearing pressure of 50 kPa. (1 kips per square foot). Given the loose and unknown nature and full depth of the existing fill, the settlement can not be predicted. As such, it is recommended that the columns should be designed to have adjustable heights to take into consideration for potential settlement. Closure A geotechnical investigation provides only a limited sampling of a site. The recommendations contained in this letter are based solely on the conditions encountered at the test pit location. Should any conditions be encountered during construction which differ from those at the test location, we request that we be notified immediately in order to permit reassessment of our recommendations. This work has been undertaken in accordance with normally accepted geotechnical engineering practices. No other warranty is expressed or implied. Any use which a third party makes of this information, or any reliance on or decisions made based on it, are the responsibility of such third parties. AMEC Environment & Infrastructure accepts no responsibility for damages, if any, suffered by any third party as a result of decisions made or actions based on this.
