5 1.0 INTRODUCTION This preliminary report presents the results of a subsurface exploration for the State College Redevelopment project located in State College Borough, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Our services for this project were performed in accordance with CMT Proposal No , dated October 21, Authorization to perform this exploration was given in the form of a Proposal Acceptance and Work Authorization Agreement, signed by Mr. Robert Davenport, on November 21, The purpose of the preliminary subsurface exploration program was to determine the pertinent subsurface conditions and to obtain information on which to base recommendations regarding preliminary foundation design and general site preparation. The scope of services for this report does not include an environmental assessment for the presence or absence of wetlands, hazardous, radioactive or toxic materials in the soil, surface water, groundwater, or air on, below or around the site. Any statements in this report or on the Test Boring Logs regarding odors, colors or unusual or suspicious items are strictly for the information of the client. 2.0 PROJECT AND SITE INFORMATION The project is located in State College Borough, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Specifically, the proposed redevelopment is located between Allen Street and Fraser Street, spanning from Highland Alley to W. Foster Avenue. The redevelopment consists of seven (7) lots, identified as Lots A through G, and this report presents the results of a subsurface investigation performed at Lot D, the existing Allen Street Parking Lot. The location of the project is shown on the Project Location Map presented in Appendix A. The surface of the site at the proposed construction consists of an existing asphalt pavement parking lot and few mature trees. Surface drainage appears to be moderate to good with runoff down slope towards the existing storm sewer system.

6 Detailed topographical information was not provided at the time of this report; however, the site appears to be relatively level, with an approximate difference in elevation of 4 feet across the proposed site. Proposed building and site information was unavailable at the time of this report. The above information was utilized in our preliminary geotechnical analysis. Therefore, if any of this information has changed, is incorrect or additional information becomes available, please inform CMT so that we may amend the recommendations presented in this report, if appropriate. 3.0 GENERAL The following preliminary recommendations are based on general subsurface information shown on the Test Boring Logs provided in Appendix E. The descriptions shown on these logs represent the conditions only at the individual testing locations and variations may occur and should be expected between the testing locations. Upon receipt of more detailed project information, we anticipate that additional test borings will be required in order to make final geotechnical recommendations. 4.0 GEOLOGIC INFORMATION According to the Department of Environmental Resources, Office of Resources Management, Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey (1982), bedrock formation at the proposed area is classified as the Axemann Formation, as shown on the Geology Map in Appendix B. The bedrock of the Axemann Formation consists of light-gray, fossiliferous and coarsely crystalline limestone with silty, fine-grained dolomitic limestone. Some oolitic and conglomeratic limestone is present within this formation. The joints have a blocky pattern which are well developed, moderately abundant and regularly spaced. The bedrock is moderately resistant to weathering and is slightly weathered to a shallow depth. The limestone is difficult to excavate and the bedrock pinnacles are a particularly Preliminary Geotechnical Report December 9, 2016 State College Redevelopment 2 CMT File No

7 problem. The cut-slope stability of the formation is good, although, steeply dipped beds inclined toward cut may require moderate to gentle slopes. 5.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION Prior to commencement of field operations, the project was registered with the Pennsylvania One-Call System, Inc., and the project was assigned Serial No We recommend that the contractors verify the locations of any utilities prior to commencement of construction activities. A total of six (6) test borings were drilled and extended to approximate depths ranging between 13 and 20 feet below the existing surface grades. The test borings were located and surveyed in the field by others. The approximate locations of the test borings are shown on the Test Boring Location Plan provided in Appendix C. The soil sampling was performed in accordance with ASTM D1586. All sampling intervals and Standard Penetration Test values were recorded and are shown on the Test Boring Log. The results of the Standard Penetration Tests indicate the relative density and comparative consistency of the soils and thereby provide a basis for estimating the relative strength and compressibility of the soil profile components. Where auger refusal was encountered in all test boring locations except TB-6, prior to reaching the termination depth, the underlying materials were cored with NQ-II wireline equipment. Auger refusal is the designation applied when the power auger can no longer penetrate the underlying materials and is indicative of the upper surface of bedrock, boulders or hard fill materials. The recovery and RQD (Rock Quality Designation) percentages are shown on the Test Boring Logs. Analysis and interpretation of the recovery and RQD percentages provide a general description of the overall rock quality. The stratifications shown on the Test Boring Log represent the conditions only at the actual boring locations. Variations should be expected between the boring locations. In addition, the Test Boring Logs show the approximate boundaries between subsurface materials. Actual transitions between subsurface materials may be gradual or abrupt.

8 5.1 Groundwater Conditions Groundwater was not encountered within any of the test pits at the time of our field operations. Note that groundwater levels fluctuate seasonally as a function of rainfall and the permeability of the soil/bedrock. A perched groundwater table may have an effect on the excavation procedures during construction. We recommend evaluation of any perched conditions by the geotechnical engineer at the time of construction. 6.0 LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM The samples obtained during the drilling operation were sealed in labeled containers and transported to our laboratory for inspection, testing and classification. Remaining samples will be retained for a minimum of one (1) year for future reference. In addition to the visual classification of the soil samples, moisture content determination tests were performed on representative split-spoon samples. The moisture content is the ratio of the weight of the water in the sample to the dry weight of the sample. This test was performed in general compliance with ASTM D2216. Several test procedures were performed on composite soil samples taken from the site. A general description of each test is provided in the following paragraphs. Moisture-plasticity characteristics of one (1) composite soil sample were determined by means of the Atterberg Limit test. The test determines the moisture content at which the soil begins to act as a viscous liquid (Liquid Limit LL) and the moisture content at which the soil changes from a plastic state to a semi-solid state (Plastic Limit PL). The difference between the Liquid Limit and the Plastic Limit is the Plasticity Index (PI). The test procedures were performed in compliance with ASTM D4318. Particle-size analyses were performed on the same composite soil sample in compliance with ASTM D422. The analysis includes a sieve analysis for particle sizes greater than the #200 sieve and a hydrometer analysis for particle sizes finer than the #200 sieve. Using this information, the sample was classified using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), ASTM D2487.

A brief description of the materials encountered is presented in this section. The surface of the site, at all test boring locations, consists of a layer of asphalt pavement, measuring approximately 6 inches in thickness, with a subbase comprised of Preliminary Geotechnical Report December 9, 2016 State College Redevelopment 5 CMT File No

10 granular material similar in composition to PennDOT 2RC stone, which measures approximately 5 to 12 inches in thickness. Underlying the asphalt pavement, at test boring location TB-3, is a layer of fill material which extends to the auger refusal depth of 4.7 feet below the existing surface grades. The fill material consists primarily of clay and sand-sized particles, with varying amounts of gravel and brick fragments. The engineering characteristics of the fill materials, such as strength and compressibility, are likely to be variable. Underlying the asphalt pavement, at all test boring locations except TB-3, is a layer of natural residual soils which extends to the approximate auger refusal depths ranging between 2 and 13 feet below the existing surface grades. The natural residual soils consist primarily of clay and silt-sized particles, with varying amounts of gravel and weathered limestone. CMT Sample Number is representative of this material and was classified as lean clay with sand (USCS Classification CL). The natural residual soils have moisture contents ranging between 4 and 30 percent and generally exhibited a very soft to hard consistency based on the Standard Penetration Tests and hand penetrometer values. The fill material and natural residual soils, at all test boring locations except TB- 6, are underlain by limestone bedrock, which was cored upon encountering auger refusal at approximate depths ranging between 2 and 7 feet below the existing surface grades. In general, the limestone bedrock is in a very broken to massive, weathered to fresh, and hard to very hard condition. The rock core recovery values within the bedrock range between 43 and 100 percent, and Rock Quality Designation (RQD) values range between 0 and 88 percent. Refer to the Test Boring Logs for further data regarding the rock core recovery and RQD percentages. 8.0 PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS The conclusions and preliminary recommendations presented in this report are based on the data obtained from the field exploration and laboratory testing programs, information regarding the proposed construction and our knowledge of geomechanics. The subject site is considered suitable for the proposed construction. Additional test Preliminary Geotechnical Report December 9, 2016 State College Redevelopment 6 CMT File No

11 borings and geotechnical analysis will be required after more detailed project data is provided. Preliminary recommendations for the proposed construction are provided in the following sections. 8.1 Sinkholes Sinkholes are a relatively common occurrence in the geologic formations at the site. The potential for sinkhole formation is high and will be especially high during construction activities. Therefore, every effort should be taken during construction to prevent the accumulation and infiltration of stormwater runoff in the vicinity of proposed structures (buildings, pavements, etc.). In the event sinkholes develop during or after construction, a CMT geotechnical engineer should be consulted prior to any excavation and/or disturbance within the immediate vicinity of the sinkhole. A collaborative effort by CMT and the structural and civil engineers should be undertaken to determine the appropriate measures to repair the sinkholes. 8.2 Rock Removal Based on the subsurface conditions encountered during drilling activities, bedrock removal will likely be required during construction. Conventional heavy construction equipment, i.e. dozer with ripper, is considered adequate for rock removal; however, rock removal methodology is the responsibility of the contractor provided that it is acceptable to the owner and is conducted in accordance with all applicable ordinances. 8.3 Foundations Based on the subsurface conditions encountered during our field exploration program, conventional shallow foundations may be considered appropriate Lot D. Typical maximum net allowable bearing capacities of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) Preliminary Geotechnical Report December 9, 2016 State College Redevelopment 7 CMT File No

12 and 15,000 psf for stable soils and intact bedrock, respectively, may be considered after careful review of project information and potentially additional subsurface data. Additional test borings, geotechnical analysis and more detailed project and loading information will be required. Although shallow bedrock was encountered within the test borings located in Lot D, it is important to note that variations in the subsurface material should be expected throughout the entire proposed redevelopment site. Upon completion of additional test boring programs throughout the site and review of specific structural and loading information, subsurface improvements or deep foundations may be required. Subsurface improvements may include overexcavation and replacement of bearing materials and/or limited mobility displacement grouting. 8.4 Seismic According to the 2012 International Building Code, Section (Chapter 20 of ASCE 7), seismic Site Class C may be specified for Lot D. 9.0 EXCAVATIONS The contractor is responsible for designing and constructing stable, temporary excavations and should shore, slope or bench the sides of the excavations as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides and bottom. The contractor is responsible for following the guidelines presented in the current version of the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Part 1926, Subpart P, titled Excavations. This information is presented solely for the information of the client, and in no way is CMT Laboratories, Inc. responsible for the construction site safety or the Contractor s activities COMMENTS This preliminary report has been prepared to assist in determining the geotechnical feasibility for the proposed State College Redevelopment project located in Preliminary Geotechnical Report December 9, 2016 State College Redevelopment 8 CMT File No

13 State College Borough, Centre County, Pennsylvania. CMT should be given the opportunity to review the grading plan as well as the proposed building type and loading data to assist in the development of a final geotechnical investigation.
