A preliminary Geotechnical investigation was prepared by an engineering firm in support of the ASP. A total of 28 boreholes were advanced and soil samples were sent to a lab for testing. The flat bench lands located on the South Lands have been extensively studied and reveals strata of coarse and final gravels and very limited and almost non-existent presence of plastic clays.
The Geotechnical investigation concluded that the lands appear suitable for the intended development as contemplated by the ASP. The report provided specific recommendations regarding best practices to mitigate the minimal amount of plastic soils evident within the land (including the removal of high plastic clays during the future process of preparing the land through grading). It is made clear in the report that, prior to any future development occurring on the site, additional Geotechnical work will be required to ensure the safety of the lands. The lands will be further investigated at future potential planning phases.
