A Level 1 report shall be signed and sealed . <br /> by a Qualified Registered Professional. <br /> 4. Review and Determination. No fiuther geological and geotechnical investigation <br /> is required when the following conditions have been satisfied: <br /> 4.1 Groundwater elevations will not negatively impact construction activity or <br /> will not require mitigation during construction; <br /> 4.2 Groundwater elevations will not have a long range impact on the constructed <br /> development; <br /> 4.3 The site is a uniform azea with non-expansive soils; and, <br /> 4.4 The report certifies that no additional investigation is warranted. <br /> If the conditions listed in 4.1 to 4.4 are not met, a Leve12 analysis must be submitted. <br /> R-9.6710-G Level 2 -Investigation Methods and Report Content. <br /> 1. Geologic Investigation. ~A Leve12 investigation shall consist of: <br /> 1.1 A Level 1 investigation; <br /> 1.2 Subsurface investigation and testing to establish soil types and distribution, <br /> based on disturbed sampling of soil and/or rock using dug pits or trenches, hand augers, <br /> bucket augers, borings or other exploratory methods. The investigation shall be designed to <br /> provide the following information (as applicable for the proposed development): <br /> 1.2.1 LateraUvertical distribution of soil and/or~rock unit(s); and, <br /> 1.2.2 Classification and index properties of the soil and rock unit(s); and, <br /> 1.2.3 Location of static water level or piezometric surface (including <br /> seasonal variation). <br /> The subsurface investigation shall delineate design area(s) and determine the index properties <br /> of the soiUrock to a sufficient depth below the structure or facility (see Exhibit A); and <br /> <br /> Administrative Order - 8 <br /> r:ladminordlrules102geotcch 1 au.wpd(09/05/02) <br /> <br />
