SECTION 178, BLOCK 2, LOT 15
SARATOGA SPRINGS, SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK
WHITESTONE PROJECT NO.: GM2321159.Y00
Dear Ms. Morin:
Whitestone Associates Engineering & Geology NY, PLLC (Whitestone) has completed a limited
geotechnical investigation at the above-referenced site. The results of the investigation and
recommendations presented below are based on the soil conditions disclosed from a limited number of
borings performed during Whitestone’s field investigation. The purpose of the investigation was to assess
subsurface conditions within and adjacent to the proposed building areas accessible to track-mounted
drilling equipment and a tracked excavator. Subsequently, cone penetrometer test (CPT) probes were
advanced. Preliminary recommendations for support of the proposed structures and pavements, and
anticipated earthwork requirements are included herein.
1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1 Site Location & Existing Conditions
The 10.67-acre subject property, located at 3367 South Broadway in Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County,
New York, is identified further as Section 178, Block 2, Lot 15. The property, which was previously a
golf driving range, is vacant and grass covered.
1.2 Site Geology
According to the University of the State of New York, The State Education Department Surficial
Geologic Map of New York, Hudson - Mohawk Sheet (1987), the site is underlain by lacustrine sand. The
University of the State of New York, The State Education Department Geologic Map of New York,
Hudson - Mohawk Sheet (1970) indicates that the subject site is underlain, at depth, by the Middle
Ordovician-age Canajoharie Shale, consisting of black shale, part of Lorraine, Trenton, and Black River
Groups.

1.3 Proposed Construction
Based on an October 6, 2022 Preliminary Architectural Site Plan prepared by Bergmeyer of Boston,
Massachusetts, the proposed development includes the construction of a brewery/restaurant with patios
with a footprint of approximately 40,000 square feet within the western portion of the site, with
associated asphalt paved parking and landscaped areas. The proposed building will be a single-story,
wood and steel-framed structure with no basement or crawl space. Whitestone anticipates that the site
will be developed close to site grades to match the nearby roadway. Stormwater management areas are
planned. No new retaining walls are shown on the site plan.
Detailed structural information was not available at the time of this report. Maximum design loads are
assumed to be less than the following: column loads - 120 kips, wall loads - 3.0 kips/lineal foot, and floor
loads - 150 pounds per square foot.
2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
2.1 Field Exploration
Field exploration at the project site consisted of advancing five borings (identified as B-1 through B-5)
within the proposed building footprint. The borings subsequently were backfilled to the surface with
excavated soils from the investigation. The locations of the borings are shown on the accompanying Test
Location Plan included as Figure 1. Records of Subsurface Exploration are provided in Appendix A.
Field exploration also consisted of advancing eight test pits (identified as TP-1 through TP-8) throughout
the site. The test pits subsequently were backfilled to the surface with excavated soils. The locations of
the test pits are shown on the accompanying Test Location Plan included as Figure 1. Records of
Subsurface Exploration are provided in Appendix A.
Because of the very loose lacustrine sand encountered in the borings, Whitestone contracted Summit
Geoengineering Services to advance two CPT probes (CPT-1 and CPT-2) at the site and then analyze the
CPT data. CPT probes were advanced to effective refusal, presumably on dense glacial till, at depths of
43.9 feet below ground surface (fbgs) and 43.2 fbgs. A Whitestone field representative coordinated CPT
probe locations and observed the advancing of the CPT probes. Whitestone also reviewed the Summit
CPT data related to Site Class and liquefaction potential. The locations of the CPT probes are shown on
the accompanying Test Location Plan included as Figure 1. The Summit CPT Data Report is included in
Appendix A.
The subsurface tests were conducted in the presence of a Whitestone engineer, who performed field tests,
recorded visual classifications, and collected samples of the various strata encountered. Test locations
were established in the field using phone-based GPS. These locations are presumed to be approximate (±
20 feet).
Borings and Standard Penetration Tests (SPTs) were conducted in general accordance with ASTM
International (ASTM) designation D1586. The SPT resistance value (N) can be used as an indicator of
the consistency of fine-grained soils and the relative density of coarse-grained soils. The N-value for
various soil types can be correlated with the engineering behavior of earthworks and foundations.

Groundwater level observations, where encountered, were recorded during and immediately after the
completion of field operations prior to backfilling the tests. Seasonal variations, temperature effects,
man-made effects, and recent rainfall conditions may influence the levels of the groundwater, and the
observed levels will depend on the permeability of the soils. Groundwater elevations derived from
sources other than seasonally observed groundwater monitor wells may not be representative of true
groundwater levels.
2.2 Infiltration Testing
Subsurface soil conditions were initially explored by advancing test pits TP-1 through TP-8.
Subsequently, infiltration tests, I-1 through I-8, were performed as falling head tests in cased holes in
general accordance with the procedures in the NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual within the
proposed SWM areas, as shown on Figure 1 Test Location Plan. PVC casing, four inches in diameter,
was installed at the depths shown below. The soil was pre-soaked for approximately one hour.
Following testing, the casings were removed. The results are tabulated below.
SUMMARY OF INFILTRATION TESTING

I-2 (TP-2) 305 3.7 301.3 >15
I-3 (TP-3) 305 5.0 300 >15
I-4 (TP-4) 305 4.6 300.4 >15
I-5 (TP-5) 305 8.7 296.3 >15
I-6 (TP-6) 305 7.2 297.8 >15
I-7 (TP-7) 305 6.7 298.3 >15
I-8 (TP-8) 305 6.5 298.5 >15
The infiltration testing was conducted within the lacustrine sand which has a low fines content.
Typically, a Factor of Safety (FoS) is applied to measured infiltration rates to account for siltation and
consolidation of soil below the systems over time. Safety factors used should consider how critical the
systems are to the development and the available storage. If the system is critical or storage limited, a
higher FoS should be applied. Infiltration rates are variable and dependent on test depth and stratification.
Whitestone recommends that the unfactored infiltration rate not exceed eight inches per hour and that a
FoS of at least 2.5 be applied to the rate for design purposes.
2.3 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory testing was conducted to determine additional, pertinent engineering characteristics of
representative samples of on-site soils. The laboratory testing was conducted in general accordance with
applicable ASTM standard test methods and included physical/textural testing of representative samples.
The results of the laboratory testing are presented in this section in a general manner and qualitatively
interpreted. The results are incorporated into the findings and recommendations discussed throughout this
report. Quantitative test results are provided in Appendix B.

Physical and Textural Analysis: Two representative samples were subjected to a laboratory testing
program that included moisture content determinations (ASTM D2216) and washed gradation analyses
(ASTM D422) in order to conduct supplementary engineering soil classifications in general accordance
with ASTM D2487. The soil stratum tested was classified by the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS), provided in Appendix C. The results of the laboratory testing are summarized in the following
table.

3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface soil conditions encountered within the subsurface tests conducted by Whitestone consisted
of the following generalized strata in order of increasing depth. Records of Subsurface Exploration are
provided in Appendix A.
Surface Cover Materials: The explorations encountered three inches to 12 inches of topsoil at the
ground surface, underlain by 12 inches to 27 inches of subsoil with roots.
Existing Fill: The explorations did not encounter existing fill. However, existing fill may be
encountered during construction between the widely spaced explorations. In addition, sites such as this
may have stump or burn pits from initial clearing, and other buried features.
Lacustrine Sand: Beneath the surface cover materials, the explorations encountered lacustrine sand,
consisting of brown, very loose to loose (occasionally medium dense), poorly graded sand with silt
(USCS: SP-SM). SPT N-values within the lacustrine sand were variable, ranging from one blow per foot
(bpf) to 24 bpf. Borings B-2 and B-3 terminated in this stratum at a depth of 22 fbgs. The test pits
terminated in the lacustrine sand at depths of five fbgs to nine fbgs.
Glacial Till: Beneath the lacustrine sand, borings B-1, B-4, and B-5 encountered glacial till, consisting of
brown, dense, silty sand with gravel (USCS: SM). Borings B-1, B-4, and B-5 terminated in this stratum
at depths of 15.7 fbgs to 22 fbgs.
Groundwater: Groundwater was encountered in the explorations during the investigation at depths of
4.5 fbgs to 7.7 fbgs, but typically five fbgs to six fbgs. Test pits TP-3 and TP-4 caved at a depth of 5.0
fbgs, indicating the likely presence of groundwater at that depth. Groundwater was measured at depths of
3.0 fbgs to 4.0 fbgs while advancing the CPT probes. Groundwater levels should be expected to fluctuate
seasonally and following periods of precipitation.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
The CPT probes determined that the natural sands below the groundwater table are generally not
susceptible to seismic liquefaction. However, thorough surface compaction is recommended due to the
loose sands, as discussed below.
Contingent upon construction phase evaluation, Whitestone’s findings indicate that the proposed
structures may be supported on conventional shallow foundations bearing on a layer of crushed stone
encapsulated in geotextile separation fabric placed over the approved lacustrine sand and/or structural fill
placed on the lacustrine sand. The borings did not encounter existing fill. However, existing fill may be
encountered between the widely spaced borings. Any existing fill encountered beneath the underside of
footing level should be overexcavated and replaced with structural fill. Ground-supported floor slabs may
derive support from the inspected, improved, and approved lacustrine sand and/or controlled structural fill
materials. Additionally, the site conditions support the use of typical pavement sections using standard
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) specified materials.
The following recommendations have been developed on the basis of the previously described project
characteristics and subsurface conditions encountered within the limited exploration performed. If there
are any significant changes to the project characteristics or if significantly different subsurface conditions
are encountered during construction, Whitestone should be consulted, so that the recommendations of this
report can be reviewed.
4.1 Site Preparation & Earthwork
Surface Cover Stripping: Prior to stripping operations, any utilities should be identified and secured.
Topsoil, organic subsoil, vegetation, trees, shrubs, and other organic matter should be removed from
within and at least five feet beyond the limits of the proposed building footprint and other site structures,
as well as any other area that will require controlled structural fill placement. Tree/shrub removal should
include the removal of stumps and root material. Root structures will require removal in excess of the
few inches of topsoil encountered at the ground surface. Any existing concrete or masonry structural
elements encountered during excavation should be removed entirely. The contractor should be required
to conduct earthwork in accordance with the recommendations in this report, including backfilling any
excavation, etc. with structural fill. Fill or backfill placed within the proposed building area should be
placed as structural fill in accordance with the recommendations of this report.
Surface Preparation/Proofrolling: Prior to placing any fill to raise or restore grades to the desired
subgrade elevations, if required, the existing exposed soils should be compacted to a firm and unyielding
surface with several passes in two perpendicular directions of a minimum 10-ton vibratory compactor.
The surface should then be proofrolled with a loaded tandem axle truck in the presence of the
geotechnical engineer to help identify soft or loose pockets that may require removal and replacement, or
further evaluation. Proofrolling should be performed after a suitable period of dry weather to reduce the
likelihood of degrading an otherwise stable subgrade. Should construction be attempted in the winter or
when temperatures are below freezing, Whitestone should be contracted for alternative surface
preparation recommendations. Fill and backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with
Section 4.2.
Weather Performance Criteria: The lacustrine sand is typically well drained. Achieving compaction
and maintaining surface compaction during dry weather may be difficult. The lacustrine sand deposit
may need to be wetted on a regular basis to achieve compaction and will be easily disturbed at the surface
by construction activities. Routine grading, wetting of soil, and proofrolling will likely be required to
maintain exposed subgrades.

Subgrade Protection and Inspection: Every effort should be made to reduce disturbance of the on-site
soils by construction traffic and surface runoff. The on-site materials may deteriorate when subjected to
repeated construction traffic and/or inclement weather, which would require removal and replacement.
The contractor should be responsible for protection of subgrades and minimization of exposure of the site
materials to precipitation by covering stockpiles and subgrades with plastic and preventing ponding of
water by sealing subgrades before precipitation events and grading the site to allow proper drainage of
surface water. All rutting from construction equipment should be removed prior to any forecasted or
actual precipitation. Whitestone should be retained to observe soil conditions during construction and
review the suitability of prepared foundation subgrades for support of design loads.
Groundwater Control: Groundwater was encountered in the explorations during the initial investigation
at depths of 4.5 fbgs to 7.7 fbgs, but typically 5.0 fbgs to 6.0 fbgs. However, while advancing the CPT
probes, groundwater was measured at depths of 3.0 fbgs to 4.0 fbgs. Shallower groundwater may be
encountered during construction, perched above impermeable layers. As such, construction phase
dewatering may consist of temporarily lowering the groundwater table, and removing surface water
runoff, infiltrating water, or trapped water. Whitestone anticipates that construction phase dewatering
could include installing temporary sump pits and filtered pumps within trenches and excavations.
Whitestone recommends that foundation construction occur during periods of relatively dry weather.
Every effort should be made to maintain drainage of surface water runoff away from construction areas
by grading and limiting the exposure of foundation areas to precipitation.
Because of the shallow groundwater, Whitestone recommends a minimum four-inch diameter perforated
PVC or HDPE perimeter drain be incorporated into the foundation design. The perimeter drain should be
installed close to the bottom of the footings, encased in minus 0.75-inch crushed stone wrapped in
geotextile separation fabric. The groundwater collected by the foundation drain should flow to nearby
detention ponds or other stormwater management system. Provided the perimeter drain is installed and
the soil beneath the slab is prepared in accordance with the recommendations in this report, additional
sub-slab drains will not be required.
4.2 Structural Fill & Backfill
Imported Fill Material: Any imported material placed as structural fill or backfill to restore design
grades should consist of clean, relatively well-graded sand or gravel with a maximum particle size of
three inches and up to 15 percent of material finer than a #200 sieve. The material should be free of clay
lumps, organics, and deleterious material. Any imported structural fill material should be approved by a
qualified geotechnical engineer prior to delivery to the site.
Soil Reuse: Whitestone anticipates that the lacustrine sand will be suitable for selective reuse as
structural fill/backfill material, provided that soil moisture contents are controlled within three percent of
optimum moisture level, any particles larger than three inches in diameter are either removed or crushed,
and any deleterious material is segregated. Reuse of the site soils will be contingent on careful review in
the field by the owner’s geotechnical engineer by visual observation during construction as recommended
herein.
Compaction and Placement Requirements: Fill and backfill should be placed in loose lifts no more
than 12 inches thick when compacted with a vibratory roller compactor weighing at least one ton, and
eight inches when compacted with a plate compactor. Fill and backfill should be compacted to 95 percent
of the maximum dry density within three percent of the optimum moisture content, as determined by
ASTM D1557 (Modified Proctor).

4.3 Foundation Design Criteria
Foundations: Contingent upon construction phase evaluation and thorough surface compaction,
Whitestone preliminarily recommends supporting the proposed structures on conventional shallow spread
foundations designed to bear on a minimum eight-inch thick layer of minus 0.75-inch crushed stone
encapsulated in geotextile separation fabric (Mirafi 140N, or similar) placed over the approved lacustrine
sand and/or over controlled structural fill materials that are properly placed and compacted as described
herein. The borings did not encounter existing fill. However, existing fill may be encountered between
the widely spaced borings. Any existing fill encountered beneath the underside of footing level should be
overexcavated and replaced with structural fill. Foundations bearing within these materials may be
designed using a maximum net allowable bearing pressure of 4,000 pounds per square foot, provided
footing subgrades are thoroughly compacted with a full-sized vibratory roller or a walk-behind, double-
drum, vibratory roller.
The geotechnical engineer should review foundation subgrades, which should be compacted in the
presence of the geotechnical engineer to densify loose upper soils and disturbed soils. Regardless of
loading conditions, new foundations should be sized no less than minimum dimensions of 24 inches for
continuous wall footings and 36 inches for isolated column footings. A minimum four-inch diameter
perforated perimeter drain should be incorporated into the foundation design.
The lacustrine sand is easily disturbed by construction activities. The recommended layer of crushed
stone encapsulated in geotextile separation fabric will reduce the likelihood of disturbance and provide a
working surface for formwork and reinforcing steel placement.
Footings subject to lateral loads and/or overturning should be designed so that the maximum toe pressure
due to the combined effect of vertical loads and overturning moment do es not exceed the recommended
maximum allowable net bearing pressure. In addition, positive contact pressure should be maintained
throughout the base of the footings such that no uplift or tension exists between the base of the footings
and the supporting soil. Uplift loads should be resisted by the weight of the concrete. Side fri ction
should be neglected when proportioning the footings so that lateral resistance should be provided by
friction resistance at the base of the footings. An allowable coefficient of friction against sliding of 0.4 is
recommended for use in the design of the foundations bearing within the existing site soils or imported
structural fill soils.
Seismic Site Class: Based on a review of the subsurface conditions relevant to the New York State
Building Code, the subject site has been assigned a Site Class D. The shear wave velocities measured by
the CPT probes (average 750 feet per second for the sand unit to a depth of 40 fbgs) per ASTM D7400
confirm Site Class D.
Whitestone also considers the site soils to generally have an adequate Factor of Safety against earthquake
induced liquefaction, provided the ground surface and footing subgrades are thoroughly compacted, as
discussed above. Limited thin layers of very loose sand at depth are unlikely to cause loss of bearing in
the event of a major earthquake. This Whitestone assessment concurs with the Summit analysis of the
site data, which is attached.
Inspection/Overexcavation Criteria: Whitestone recommends that the suitability of the bearing soils at
the footing bottoms be reviewed by a geotechnical engineer immediately prior to placing concrete for the
footings. In the event that areas of unsuitable materials are encountered, additional overexcavation and
replacement of the materials may be necessary to provide a suitable footing subgrade. Any
overexcavation to be restored with structural fill should extend at least one foot laterally beyond footing
edges for each vertical foot of overexcavation. Lateral overexcavation may be eliminated if grades are
restored with lean concrete.

Environmenta l & Geotechnical Engineers & Consultant s
Frost Coverage: Foundations subject to frost action should be placed at least 48 inches below adjacent
exterior grades, or the depth required by local building codes, to provide protection from frost penetration.
Interior foundations not subject to frost action (including during construction) may be placed at a
minimum depth of 18 inches below the floor slab subgrade.
Settlement: Whitestone estimates post construction settlements of proposed foundations of less than one
inch, if the recommendations outlined in this report are properly implemented. Differential settlement of
foundations should be less than one half inch. Although CPT data indicates the site is susceptible to
liquefaction in the event of an earthquake the existing loose sands may consolidate resulting in
settlements greater than one inch following a significant seismic event.
4.4 Floor Slab
Whitestone anticipates that the properly inspected, approved, and improved lacustrine sand, and/or
compacted structural fill will be suitable for support of the proposed floor slab provided these materials
are properly evaluated, compacted, and proofrolled in accordance with the recommendations of this report
during favorable weather conditions. Areas that are, or become, softened or disturbed as a result of
wetting and/or repeated exposure to construction traffic or contain objectionable materials should be
removed and replaced with compacted structural fill. The properly prepared on-site soils are expected to
yield a minimum subgrade modulus (k) of 150 psi/in.
A minimum 12-inch layer of NYSDOT 733-04 Subbase Course, Type 2 (or approved equivalent) should
be placed below the floor slab to provide a uniform granular base. If the floor supports moisture-sensitive
covering or equipment, a moisture vapor barrier should also be installed beneath the floor slab in
accordance with flooring manufacturer’s recommendations.
4.5 Pavement Design Criteria
Whitestone anticipates that the properly inspected, approved, and improved lacustrine sand, and/or
compacted structural fill/backfill placed to raise or restore design elevations will be suitable for support of
the proposed pavements, provided these materials are properly evaluated, compacted, and proofrolled in
accordance with the recommendations of this report during favorable weather conditions.
A California Bearing Ratio value of 8.0 has been assigned to the properly prepared subgrade soils for
pavement design purposes. This value was correlated with pertinent soil support values and assumed
traffic loads to prepare flexible and rigid pavement designs per the AASHTO Guide for the Design of
Pavement Structures.
Design traffic loads were assumed based on typical volumes for similar facilities and correlated with 18-
kip equivalent single axle loads (ESAL) for a 20-year life. Estimated maximum pavement loads of
30,000 ESALs and 75,000 ESALs were used for the standard-duty and heavy-duty pavement areas,
respectively. These values assume the pavements primarily will accommodate both automobile and
limited heavier truck traffic, with the heavier truck traffic designated to the main drive lanes. Actual
loading experienced is anticipated to be less than these values.
Pavement components should meet material specifications from NYSDOT Standard Specifications
specified below. The recommended flexible pavement sections are tabulated below:

1 The outer edges of concrete pavements are susceptible to damage as trucks move from rigid pavement to adjacent flexible
pavement. Therefore, the thickness at the outer two feet of the rigid concrete pavement should be 12 inches.
The pavement section thickness designs presented in this report are based on the design parameters
detailed herein and are contingent on proper construction, inspection, and maintenance. Additional
pavement thickness may be required by local code. The designs are contingent on achieving the
minimum soil support value in the field. To accomplish this requirement, subgrade soil and supporting
fill or backfill must be placed, compacted, and evaluated in accordance with the recommendations of this
report. Proper drainage should be provided for the pavement structure, including appropriate grading and
surface water control.
The performance of the pavement also will depend on the quality of materials and workmanship.
Whitestone recommends that NYSDOT standards for materials, workmanship, and maintenance be
applied to this site. Project specifications should include verifying that the installed asphaltic concrete
material composition is within tolerance for the specified materials and that the percentage of air voids of
the installed pavement is within specified ranges for the respective materials. Rigid concrete pavements
should be suitably air-entrained, jointed, and reinforced in general accordance with ACI 330R-08 Guide
for the Design and Construction of Concrete Parking Lots.
4.6 Retaining Walls/Lateral Earth Pressures
The following parameters may be used for design of retaining walls, such as at loading docks, any below-
grade walls, and other structures reliant on granular materials to provide adequate drainage. However, the
parameters are not directly applicable to the design of mechanically stabilize d earth (MSE) retaining
walls, which require proprietary design methods for the selected earth retention system.

Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation

Saratoga Springs, New York
January 9, 2024
Page 10
Environmenta l & Geotechnical Engineers & Consultant s
Retaining/below-grade walls should be capable of withstanding active and at-rest earth pressures.
Backfill soils adjacent to these structures should consist of freely draining granular fill composed
primarily of coarse to fine sand. With an active earth pressure coefficient (Ka) of 0.33, level backfill, and
an assumed maximum backfill soil unit weight of 140 pounds per cubic foot (pcf), an equ ivalent fluid
pressure of 46 psf per foot of wall height should be used in design of retaining/below-grade walls which
are free to rotate.
Retaining/below-grade walls and wall corners typically are restrained from lateral movement and should
be designed using at-rest earth pressures. A coefficient of at-rest earth pressure (Ko) of 0.5, for a level
backfill, is recommended for retaining/below-grade walls designed to resist at-rest earth pressures, which
assume no lateral movement. With an assumed maximum total unit weight of backfill of approximately
140 pcf, an equivalent fluid pressure of 70 pounds per square foot per foot of wall height should be used
in design of restrained retaining/below-grade wall and wall corners. A coefficient of friction of 0.4
against sliding can be used for concrete on the existing site soils. Additional lateral earth pressures from a
sloped backfill or any temporary or long-term surcharge loads also should be included in the design.
Retaining wall design should include a global stability analysis.
Whitestone recommends that granular soils be used to backfill behind retaining walls. The granular
backfill materials should consist of clean, relatively well graded sand or gravel with a maximum particle
size of three inches and up to 15 percent of material finer than a #200 U.S. Standard sieve. Whitestone
recommends that backfill directly behind any walls be compacted with light, hand-held compactors.
Heavy compactors and grading equipment should not be allowed to operate within a zone of influence
measured at a 45-degree angle from the base of the walls during backfilling to avoid developing excessive
temporary or long-term lateral soil pressures.
Positive drainage should be provided at the base of the below-grade walls. Where wall drainage is not
provided or cannot be relied upon, walls are designed to withstand full hydrostatic pressure.
Whitestone should be notified if any other retaining structures or design considerations requiring lateral
earth pressure estimations are proposed. Specific recommendations for temporary retaining structures are
beyond Whitestone’s scope of work.
4.7 Excavations
The site soils encountered during the investigation generally are most consistent with, at least, Type C
Soil Conditions as defined by 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA) that require a maximum unbraced excavation
angle of 1.5:1 (horizontal:vertical). Actual conditions encountered during construction should be
evaluated by a competent person (as defined by OSHA), so that safe excavation methods and/or shoring
and bracing requirements are implemented.
5.0 SUPPLEMENTAL POST INVESTIGATION SERVICES
Construction Inspection and Monitoring: The owner’s geotechnical engineer with specific knowledge
of the site subsurface conditions and design intent should conduct inspection, testing, and consultation
during construction as described in previous sections of this report. Monitoring and testing should also be
performed to confirm that any encountered underground structures are properly backfilled, the existing
surface cover materials are properly removed, and suitable materials, used for controlled fill, are properly
placed and compacted over suitable subgrade soils. The proofrolling of all subgrades prior to building,
floor slab, and pavement support should be witnessed and documented by the owner’s geotechnical
engineer.

Cone Penetration Testing – 3376 South Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY
Dear Mr. Shedd;
Summit Geoengineering Services (SGS) has completed explorations for site development at
3376 South Broadway in Saratoga Springs, New York. This data report summarizes the results
of the seismic piezocone penetration testing (SCPTu).
Work Description
At the request of Whitestone Associates, SGS was asked to perform 2 seismic piezocone
penetration tests (SCPTu) to a depth of 100 feet or push refusal. The SCPTu explorations were
pre-marked and cleared of utilities by Whitestone Associates. SGS performed 2 SCPTu
explorations on December 19, 2023. CPTu was performed in accordance with ASTM D5778.
Shear wave velocity was performed in accordance with ASTM D7400. SCPTu was advanced using
a track mounted PowerProbe 9500 VTR with Vertek digital cone.

SCPTu was conducted using a dual anchor with start of test at ground surface. Parameters
obtained include cone resistance (qc), sleeve friction (fs), piezocone pore pressure (u2), and
shear wave velocity (Vs). An exploration location plan and SCPTu output logs are attached to the
end of this data report. Excel output files are also provided in separate deliverable.
Push refusal within dense strata was encountered at a depth of 43 feet below ground surface
(BGS). Groundwater depth was measured within open SCPTu boreholes upon completion using
a water level meter. Water level ranged from 3.3 to 3.6 feet BGS. Equilibrium pore pressure was
measured by dissipation tests to estimate phreatic surface. Results are presented below:

CPT EXPLORATION COVER SHEET
Piezocone penetration test (CPT) is performed by a cone on the end of a series of rods pushed into the ground at a
constant rate (2 cm/s) to obtain near continuous measurements of soil parameters. Parameters obtained during
the CPT test include cone tip resistance, sleeve friction, and piezocone pore pressure per ASTM D5778 and shear
wave velocity per ASTM D7400. These parameters are presented graphically on the CPT log.
CPT Data Symbols:
qc = Tip Resistance u2 = Pore Pressure qt = Total Resistance
fs = Sleeve Friction vs = Shear Wave Velocity ch = Coefficient of Consolidation
Soil Behavior Type:
Soil behavior type is interpreted from CPT data as one of 9 soil behavior types published by Robertson et al. 1990,
shown below. Each soil behavior type (SBT) is assigned a color which correlates to the SBT plot on the CPT log.

WHITESTONE PROPOSAL NO.: PRY30830G.M23
Dear Ms. Morin:
Whitestone Associates Engineering & Geology NY, PLLC (Whitestone) is pleased to submit this r proposal
to conduct a supplemental geotechnical investigation at the above-referenced site. This proposal replaces
Whitestone’s original proposal dated September 21, 2023 and is based on the September 13, 2021 Boundary
Survey prepared by NMB Land Survey, PLLC, recent correspondence, experience with similar projects,
and available aerial imagery.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The approximately 10.67-acre subject property located at 3376 South Broadway in Saratoga Springs,
Saratoga County, New York is agricultural land. The property is identified further by the City of Saratoga
Springs Assessor’s Office as Tax Map No. 178-2-15 and is being evaluated for development with a 40,000-
square feet footprint brewery/restaurant with patio and associated asphalt paved parking and access drives.
The proposed location and orientation of the structure has not been confirmed. A supplemental
geotechnical investigation has been requested to provide general foundation and earthwork
recommendations.
For the purposes of this proposal, cuts and fills on the order of up to two feet are anticipated, and maximum
design loads are assumed to be less than the following: column load - 150 kips, wall load - 4.0 kips/linear
foot, and floor load - 200 pounds per square foot. Pavement loads are estimated to be 25,000 (18) kip
equivalent single axle loads.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
In order to provide supplemental soils information relevant to potential cost-impactive or development-
impactive subsurface considerations, Whitestone will conduct a supplemental geotechnical investigation
by means of seismic cone penetration testing (CPT). The scope of this supplemental investigation will be
conducted to evaluate seismic Site Class and the liquefaction potential of the underlying soils. Whitestone’s
proposed supplemental subsurface exploration will include the following:
► advancing up to two CPT soundings with shear wave velocity testing within the proposed building
area to a depth of up to 60 feet below ground surface, or refusal;
► identifying pertinent physical and engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials
encountered during sampling and testing; and
► providing an opinion regarding geotechnical considerations for developing the site.
Whitestone’s proposed investigation and laboratory program will be supervised by a Whitestone
engineer/geologist who will observe site and surrounding conditions, direct testing programs, review
subsurface conditions, and classify the subsurface materials encountered. The results of the geotechnical
investigation will be presented in a Supplemental Report of Geotechnical Investigation prepared by a
Professional Engineer.
PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS
Whitestone assumes free access will be granted to the subject property for the duration of the one-day
project. The boring locations must be accessible to a track-mounted CPT rig during the hours of 7:00 AM
to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Whitestone’s cost proposal assumes using non-union labor.
Whitestone will coordinate a mark-out of on-site public utilities and, if authorized, engage a private utility
locator, however, the site owner must establish all private utilities. Whitestone assumes no responsibility
for the location of or damage to private underground utilities not clearly marked by the site owner prior to
commencement of site services.
Borings will be backfilled once with excavated soil, and borings will be restored surficially with asphalt
cold patch or Portland cement concrete, where appropriate. Costs for repaving test locations or repairing
areas disturbed by the field investigation are not included in this proposal. The owner should anticipate
some settlement at test locations, and future maintenance may be required. Excess soil will remain on site
(either mounded at test locations or placed at a staging area designated by the site owner) or can be drummed
at an additional cost, if requested by the client. Whitestone assumes no responsibility for damage resulting
from future settlement at backfilled locations. Unless otherwise requested by the client, all geotechnical
soil samples will be disposed 60 days following completion of field investigation efforts.
This proposal is based on the assumption that conditions suitable for foundation design recommendations
will be encountered within the exploration depths proposed. If marginal or unsuitable conditions are
encountered, the exploration program may be revised to include deeper borings and/or additional
investigation and analysis may be recommended at an additional cost. If possible, Whitestone will attempt
to make necessary revisions to the exploration program during the site investigation.
