Pad Subgrade Permeability and Bearing Capacity Evaluation
Approx. 40.135548°, -110.148151°
Duchesne County, Utah
SNOWSHOE Project No. 24037

Snowshoe Engineering Company (SNOWSHOE) was asked to perform a subsurface
investigation at an existing unloading pad to collect samples for laboratory testing and
to evaluate the subgrade materials (upper 10 feet adjacent the pad) potential bearing
capacity.

SNOWSHOE was also asked (after the initial scope of work was developed) to review
documents by the client and provide our professional opinion concerning the potential
that contaminated water (originating from material delivered to the site) could seep
into underlying subsurface water in facility areas used for staging and dewatering
activities.

CURRENT PAD USE
The existing concrete pad is used to unload imported material (soil). The material is
then removed from the pad using front-end loaders or other similar equipment and
processed in nearby areas.

PROVIDED DOCUMENTS
SNOWSHOE was provided documents by the client (Civco Engineering, Inc.) in an email
delivered on May 17, 2024. The documents are provided in the Appendix and include:

 Soil Report - NRCS
 Ground Water Analysis (Includes Boring Logs) - Civco Engineering, Inc.
 Soil Map (Includes Bore Hole Locations) - Civco Engineering, Inc.

GEOLOGICAL SETTING
Geological mapping (Duchesne and Kings Peak Quadrangles, Bruce Bryant) indicates
surface soils in the area likely consist of the following:

Glacial Outwash of Pre-Bull Lake Age (Pleistocene)
Poorly sorted gravel and sand in terraces graded to pre-Bull Lake moraines.

The mapping also indicates near surface or at surface bedrock in the area likely consist
of the following:

Upper Member of the Uinta Formation (Eocene)
Gray mudstone and a few thin beds of sandstone and limestone. Dominantly
alluvial in origin but contains some lacustrine beds.

FIELD INVESTIGATION AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
SNOWSHOE conducted subsurface exploration at the site on May 17, 2024. A CME 75
geotechnical drill rig was used to drill two borings at the locations indicated on Figure 1.
The borings were advanced using hollow stem augers (HSA). Samples were obtained
using a split-spoon sampler.

The subsurface conditions encountered in the borings consisted of varying depths of fill
overlying lean clay with varying amounts of sand.

Subsurface water was not encountered within the depths of our borings. Subsurface
water depths will vary over time and with fluctuating surface water conditions.

Boring logs illustrating the subsurface conditions encountered are provided on Figure 2
with material descriptions and legend provided on Figure 3.

LABORATORY TESTING
Full laboratory test results are provided with this letter on Table 1 and in the Appendix.
A summary of the laboratory results for the two samples tested for hydraulic
conductivity are as follows:

Boring B2 @ 4 ½’
 Classification: Lean Clay (CL)
 Water content: 9%
 Dry Unit Weight: 90 pcf
 Minus No. 200 Sieve (Silt/Clay): 71%
 Liquid Limit: 26%
 Plasticity Index (PI): 12
 Hydraulic Conductivity: Average K b : = 7.8E‐05 cm/sec

 Liquid Limit: 34%
 Plasticity Index (PI): 22
 Hydraulic Conductivity: Average K b : 1.3E‐06 cm/sec

CONCLUSIONS AND PROFESSIONAL OPINION
Bearing Capacity
Based on our field investigation and laboratory test results, an ultimate bearing
capacity of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) could be assumed at typical shallow
foundation depths at the locations investigated.

The suitability of the slab to support heavy equipment is highly dependent on the slab
thickness, reinforcement and subgrade preparation.

Surface Water Seepage - Concrete Pad Dewatering Areas
We understand that dewatering procedures initially take place on the concrete pad at
the facility. A concrete pad in good condition would restrict seepage of fluids from
the surface to the underlying soil more effectively than a soil having a permeability of
1E-07 cm/sec.

Surface Water Seepage – Other Staging and Dewatering Areas
We also understand material having varying levels of saturation is subsequently moved
to other areas at the site.

Based on the provided documents, 12 borings were drilled on August 23, 2013 at the
site. According to our interpretation of the boring logs, the subsurface soil consisted
generally of clay, silt, sand and gravel. Bedrock was encountered below the soil in
some of the borings according to the logs including Boring Borhole #1 which is the
closest boring to the unloading and dewatering concrete pad. It is possible that
deeper layers in other borings identified as soil are in fact bedrock.

The logs also indicate that no subsurface water was observed in the upper 50 feet of
any of the 12 borings.

Our opinion is based on the above information and the following assumptions made
after review of the provided documents:

a) the provided logs are accurate,
b) our interpretation of the logs is accurate,
c) the subsurface water observations reported in the logs are accurate and,
d) conditions are the same now as reported in 2013.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
Custom Soil Resource Report
11
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
Custom Soil Resource Report

pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

CLASS 111B LANDFILL PERMIT APPLICATIONS REQUIREMENTS
5/31/2024
R315-303-3[1.1][a][iv]
The above regulation requires WMRC class 111b permit holders to submit a communication plan detailing how EEI
will inform waste generators of our high liquid waste acceptance criteria and associated potential increased costs.
1. Initial notifications will be emailed to each customer’s payables department with instructions to forward to
all supervisors responsible for high liquid waste disposal.
2. After the initial notifications we will email directly to all supervisors of waste generators and to all hydro-
excavator operators frequenting EEI.
3. EEI personnel interacts with delivering hydro-excavator operators on a daily basis, allowing for
communications required under R315-303-3[1.1][a][iv].
