1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the geotechnical evaluation completed by GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (GZA) for the proposed replacement of Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) Bridge No. 2230 over the Kennebunk River. Our services were provided in accordance with Master Services Agreement 40839 between Stantec and GZA, and Stantec Task Order JN 195311132, dated October 1, 2015, which incorporates GZA’s proposal No. 09.P000041.16, dated August 20, 2015, and the attached Limitations included in Appendix A. 1.1 BACKGROUND
The existing Mathew J. Lanigan Bridge (No. 2230) spans west‐to‐east from Kennebunk to Kennebunkport and carries Route 9 (Western Avenue) over the Kennebunk River at the location shown on the Locus Plan, Figure 1. The existing 88‐foot, two‐span bridge has a steel through‐girder superstructure supported on stone masonry abutments and a stone masonry pivot pier capped with concrete. The structure was a swing bridge, articulating about the center pier, until 1985 when it was closed to navigation. Based on Stantec’s Preliminary Design Report (PDR) the Kennebunk abutment was constructed in 1933 as concrete‐capped, stone masonry and is in fair overall condition. The concrete cap has some minor cracking and the masonry facing has some mortar loss, primarily in the upper two courses. The as‐built plans indicate that the stone masonry was constructed over a concrete seal that bears on bedrock. There are no visible signs of settlement. The Kennebunkport abutment was originally constructed around 1896, as a stone masonry abutment and adjacent stone masonry pier with a short, granite slab approach span. The pier was reconstructed in 1933 using granite planks and a concrete cap to tie the two structures together. The current bridge terminates above the capped pier structure, which is referred to herein as the Kennebunkport abutment. The Kennebunkport abutment is reportedly founded on bedrock. The masonry appears to be in good condition, with no signs of settlement or bulging. The project will consist of a superstructure replacement. The new superstructure will consist of an approximately 88.5‐foot‐long, single span bridge, extending from approximately Sta. 49+55 (Kennebunk abutment) to Sta. 50+44 (Kennebunkport abutment), as shown on the Boring Location Plan & Interpretive Subsurface Profile, Figure 2. The new superstructure is proposed to consist of precast, pre‐stressed concrete butted box beams with a non‐composite leveling slab. The existing pier will be removed, and the existing masonry abutment substructures will be reused. The total length of the project is approximately 350 feet (Sta. 48+00 to 51+50). Modifications to the Kennebunk approach include widening the alignment by up to 5 feet outside of the existing sidewalks. Modifications to the Kennebunkport approach will be limited to pavement and sidewalk reconfigurations. The approach roadways will generally be at existing grades. Geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) retaining walls will be constructed adjacent to Abutment 1 along the northwest (NW; upstream) and southwest (SW; downstream) Kennebunk approach embankment. The NW GRS wall will be 14 feet in length (Sta. 49+32 to 49+46) and up 7.5 feet in height. The SW GRS wall

will be approximately 37 feet in length (Sta. 49+08 to 49+45) and up 7.5 feet in height. The tallest portion of both walls will be about 6 feet long, after which the wall height will quickly transition to one block (1.5 feet) high. The GRS walls will be supported by 2‐ to 2.5‐foot‐thick reinforced soil foundations (RSFs). Where embankment modifications are planned, a 4‐foot‐thick layer of riprap will be placed, and a minimum riprap thickness of 2 feet will be used at the toe of the GRS walls. The location of the proposed bridge and GRS walls is shown on Figure 2 and on the plan entitled GRS Retaining Wall and Moment Slab, Figure 3. Portions of the GRS wall will be constructed below mean tide level. Pertinent tide data is summarized below: Mean Low Water (MLW) = El. ‐4.76
Mean Tide Level (MTL) = El. ‐0.29
Mean High Water (MHW) = El. 4.08 1.2 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The objectives of our work were to evaluate subsurface conditions and to provide final geotechnical engineering recommendations for the proposed Mathew J. Lanigan Bridge No. 2230 replacement. To meet these objectives, GZA completed the following Scope of Services:
Reviewed preliminary test boring and probe logs and laboratory test data collected by MaineDOT;
Conducted site visits to observe surficial conditions and reviewed mapped surficial and bedrock geology of the site, and existing bridge plans;
Coordinated and observed GZA’s subsurface exploration program, consisting of two borings;
Coordinated surface geophysical testing completed by Northeast Geophysical Services (NGS);
Conducted a laboratory testing program to evaluate engineering properties of the site soils;
Conducted geotechnical engineering analyses for bearing and lateral resistance of bedrock supporting existing abutment foundations, and for design of new GRS retaining walls and seismic design considerations;
Developed geotechnical engineering recommendations including design of new retaining walls, evaluation of existing foundations and seismic design parameters;
Developed construction considerations including temporary excavation support and dewatering; and
Prepared this final report summarizing our findings and design recommendations.
2.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
Prior to GZA’s engagement on the project, an exploration program was completed by MaineDOT in 2014. Final design phase explorations by GZA included supplemental test borings and surface geophysical testing completed in 2015 to provide additional information along the Kennebunk approach. As‐drilled

test boring locations and elevations1 were surveyed by MaineDOT for each completed test boring. Boring locations are shown on Figure 2, and as‐drilled coordinates and ground surface elevations are shown on the boring logs in Appendices B and C. Details of the exploration programs are described below. 2.1 PREVIOUS TEST BORINGS AND PROBES
MaineDOT conducted a subsurface exploration program between November 19 and December 21, 2014, consisting of five test borings (BB‐KKKR‐101 through BB‐KKKR‐105) and five auger probes (BP‐KKKR‐101 through BP‐KKKR‐105). Boring BB‐KKKR‐101 and probe BP‐KKKR‐101 were the only explorations that MaineDOT drilled through an approach embankment (Kennebunk). The remainder of the explorations were drilled through the bridge deck and into the mudline. The borings (BB‐KKKR‐101 through ‐105) were drilled through overburden soil and terminated approximately 5 to 10 feet into bedrock. Depths of the borings ranged from approximately 8 to 43 feet below ground surface (bgs). The borings were drilled using 3‐ and 4‐inch driven casing and drive‐and‐wash drilling techniques. Standard penetration testing (SPT) and split‐spoon sampling were performed at 5‐foot typical intervals in the overburden using a 24‐inch‐long, 1‐3/8‐inch inside‐diameter sampler, driven with an automatic hammer. Bedrock cores were obtained using NQ2 wire‐line coring equipment in each test boring. The probes (BP‐KKKR‐101 through ‐105) were drilled and terminated upon reaching reported auger refusal at depths ranging from approximately 1 to 9 feet bgs. The probes were conducted using a 5‐inch solid stem auger. Soil samples were not collected in the probes. The borings and probes were backfilled with soil cuttings and/or sand, and where borings/probes were conducted through pavement, they were patched with cold patch. 2.2 REVEW OF ROCK CORE
GZA requested access to the MaineDOT rock core samples in order to make an independent assessment of the rock. After receiving approval from the MaineDOT Geotechnical Group, a GZA engineer visited MaineDOT’s laboratory in Bangor, reviewed the available rock core specimens, and prepared descriptions for core samples from borings BB‐KKKR‐101 through BB‐KKKR‐105. The GZA observations were used to develop the rock descriptions included on the logs in Appendix B. 2.3 SUPPLEMENTAL TEST BORINGS
GZA completed a supplemental subsurface investigation program consisting of two test borings (BB‐KKKR‐201 and BB‐KKKR‐202) drilled through the Kennebunk approach in the vicinity of the planned GRS walls. The original proposed scope included one test boring. However, BB‐KKKR‐201 was terminated early at 3.3 feet bgs after encountering an incorrectly‐marked water service line. BB‐KKKR‐202 was drilled through overburden soil to possible bedrock and was terminated at a depth of 22 feet bgs. New England Boring Contractors of Hermon, Maine provided drilling services and coordinated utility clearance. The

drilling was completed on November 3, 2015. GZA personnel monitored the drilling work and prepared logs of each boring. Boring BB‐KKKR‐202 was drilled using 3‐inch driven casing and drive‐and‐wash drilling techniques. SPT and split‐spoon sampling were performed near continuously to 11 feet bgs, and at 5‐foot typical intervals from 15 to 20 feet bgs using a 24‐inch‐long, 1‐3/8‐inch inside diameter sampler. SPTs were conducted using a safety hammer and rope‐and‐cathead system. Bedrock cores were not obtained in the 200‐series borings. The borings were backfilled with soil cuttings and/or sand, and were surfaced with asphalt cold patch. 2.4 GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY
On November 3, 2015, NGS conducted electromagnetic metal detection (EM) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys on both bridge approaches. The objective of the surveys was to locate and estimate the geometry of buried structural elements or other subsurface features. An EM‐61 Metal Detector was used for the EM surveys. The detector is designed to locate medium to large buried metal objects. The technique is reportedly sensitive to conductive metal up to a depth of approximately 12 feet. The data is digitally recorded on an Allegro CX field computer. Readings were recorded every 0.62 feet along traverses spaced 3 feet apart. GPR utilizes high‐frequency radio waves, which are reflected at interfaces of materials with contrasting dielectric properties. The GPR instrument used was a GSSI, SIR‐3000. A 400‐MHz antenna was used with a time range set for 60 nanoseconds. At this setting the depth surveyed was approximately 10 feet. GPR profiles were recorded over lines spaced 3 feet apart in both east‐west and north‐south grid directions. Survey ground grids were laid‐out by NGS on both sides of the bridge using measuring tapes and paint. Surveys were conducted over the entire width of the roadway and accessible portions of the sidewalks on either side of the roadway. The surveys extended approximately 30 and 39 feet back from the top of the concrete abutment walls at the Kennebunk and Kennebunkport approaches, respectively. NGS provided the results of the GPR and EM surveys in a report dated January 20, 2016, which is included as Appendix D.
3.0 LABORATORY TESTING
MaineDOT completed a laboratory testing program consisting of water content and gradation analysis/AASHTO Classification/Frost Classification assessments on five soil samples from the 100‐series borings. GZA retained Thielsch Engineering’s Geotechnical Laboratory in Cranston, Rhode Island to complete a soil and bedrock testing program consisting of gradation analysis/AASHTO Classification/Frost Classification of five soil samples collected from 200‐series borings and strength characteristics of two bedrock samples from rock core collected by MaineDOT from the 100‐series borings.

Results of the testing are included in Appendix E.
4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 SURFICIAL AND BEDROCK GEOLOGY
Based on available literature, surficial geologic units mapped in the vicinity include Undifferentiated sand, used as a general term and can range from very fine sand to very coarse sand. Bedrock at the site is mapped as the Kittery Formation bedrock unit. The Kittery Formation in the site vicinity is described as variably thin to thick bedded, buff‐weathering feldspathic and calcareous metawacke. The Kittery Formation in the site vicinity is characterized by well‐developed primary structures including graded bedding, channel cuts and fills, small scale cross‐bedding, flame structure, and flute casts. 4.2 SUBSURFACE PROFILE
Two soil units were encountered in the test borings overlying bedrock: Fill and River Bottom Deposit. Approximately 4 to 6 inches of asphalt pavement was encountered in the borings drilled through the Kennebunk approach. The thicknesses and generalized descriptions of the soil units are presented in the following table, in descending order from existing ground surface. Detailed descriptions of the materials encountered at specific locations are provided in the boring logs in Appendices B and C. The subsurface conditions are also shown in relation to the bridge alignment on Figure 2.

Top of Bedrock Elevation
Encountered Top of Rock: Approx. El. ‐10.1 to El. ‐27.2
Boring BB‐KKKR‐202 encountered an apparent glacial till/weathered rock layer from about 18.5 to 21 feet bgs. A similar layer was not encountered in any of the 100‐series borings. The boring near the west end of the SW GRS wall (BB‐KKKR‐202) penetrated 6.2 feet of wood underlying the fill, which was interpreted to be possible timber cribbing. The boring conducted along the eastern portion of the SW GRS wall (BB‐KKKR‐101) penetrated 10.9 feet of granite masonry underlying the fill.

Auger probes typically encountered shallower refusal elevations than the top of rock elevations confirmed by coring in the adjacent borings, and collectively did not represent a consistent trend in bedrock elevations. Therefore, we did not include auger refusal elevations in the range of top of bedrock elevations reported above, nor were they considered for development of the interpreted bedrock surface shown on Figure 2. GZA did not review the soil samples collected during MaineDOT drilling. We used the classifications made by MaineDOT and made limited modifications to those descriptions to achieve consistency with laboratory test results. It should be noted that MaineDOT described a Marine stratum in their test borings, which appeared to be consistent with what GZA described as River Bottom Deposit. For simplicity sake, GZA categorized the “Marine” stratum as River Bottom Deposit in our generalized stratification above, and in the interpretive subsurface profile.
4.2.1 Bedrock
Bedrock was cored in each test boring drilled by MaineDOT and three bedrock types were encountered. Basalt was found only in BB‐KKKR‐101 and was described as gray/black, hard, fresh, and fine to medium grained. The Basalt consists of a dike intrusion into the metamorphic parent rock. Joints were very close to moderately spaced, low angle to moderately dipping, planar, rough, fresh, and tight to partially open. The Rock Quality Designation (RQD) in the basalt was 90 percent. Metasiltstone and/or metasandstone was encountered in the remaining borings and was described as white/gray/purple/light green, very hard, fresh, and aphanitic. Joints were very close to moderately spaced, low to high angle, planar, rough, fresh to discolored, and tight to partially open. The RQD ranged from 0 to 50 percent, with an average of 18 percent. Two laboratory unconfined compressive strength and secant modulus tests were conducted on bedrock core samples of the Basalt and the Metasiltstone. The test results are included in Appendix D. The Basalt had an unconfined compressive strength of 6.0 kips per square inch (ksi) and a Young’s modulus of 4,360 ksi. The Metasiltstone had an unconfined compressive strength of 11.9 kips per square inch (ksi) and a Young’s modulus of 5,950 ksi.
4.2.2 Groundwater
Groundwater was measured by MaineDOT in the boreholes. The times, borehole depths, and casing conditions at the time of the measurements were not provided to GZA. The water levels in the land‐based borings were 16 feet bgs (El. ‐5.9) reported by MaineDOT in BB‐KKKR‐101 and 5.7 feet bgs (El. 2.8) observed by GZA in BB‐KKKR‐202. The remainder of the borings/probes were drilled through the surface river water, and the water levels were not recorded. Water levels in the river are tidally influenced. The groundwater observations were made at the times and under the conditions stated in the boring logs. Groundwater levels fluctuate due to changes in river level, season, tidal variation, precipitation, infiltration, and construction activity in the area. Therefore, groundwater levels during and after construction are likely to vary from those encountered at the time of the test borings, especially for work in the river.

5.0 ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS
5.1 GENERAL
GZA has conducted geotechnical engineering evaluations in accordance with the following:
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications: Customary U.S. Units, 7th Edition 2014 (AASHTO) with 2015 Interim;
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications: Customary U.S. Units, 6th Edition 2012 (2012 AASHTO) with 2013 and 2014 Interims (for footings bearing on bedrock only);
Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Integrated Bridge System Interim Implementation Guide (FHWA‐HRT‐11‐026), dated June 2012;
Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Integrated Bridge System Synthesis Report (FHWA‐HRT‐11‐027), dated January 2011; and
MaineDOT Bridge Design Guide, 2014 Edition (MaineDOT BDG).
The sections that follow describe the evaluations conducted for the project. Supporting calculations developed by GZA are attached in Appendix F of this report. 5.2 APPROACH EMBANKMENTS
There are no changes planned at the Kennebunkport approach, and there are no visible signs of distress in the existing masonry retaining walls. Therefore, stability of the Kennebunkport approach was not evaluated. At the Kennebunk approach, new retaining walls are needed to support the widened approach embankment.
5.2.1 Evaluation of Retaining Wall Type The Kennebunk approach will have two new retaining walls adjoining the existing abutment. The NW and SW walls will be approximately 14 and 37 feet long, respectively. The maximum distance from the top of the wall (i.e., sidewalk elevation) to the top of the riprap protection near the toe of the wall is 7.5 to 8.5 feet for both walls. Two retaining wall types were considered: cast‐in‐place reinforced concrete walls on footings and concrete tremie seals, and GRS walls supported on a RSF. A cast‐in‐place wall would require embedment for frost protection, which would be 4 to 5 feet below the bottom of the riprap layer. The corresponding tremie seal bearing elevation would likely be at El. ‐5 or deeper. This would require placement of the tremie seal in the wet over a loose silty sand subgrade or installation of a cofferdam to allow dewatering. This combination would make it difficult to achieve uniform subgrade conditions beneath the seal, and is therefore not considered the preferred alternative. GRS is considered a more flexible wall system than cast‐in‐place concrete. The serviceability of the GRS system is anticipated to be better with variable support conditions and minor frost penetration. Since frost

penetration into a tidal flat near the low tide level is likely to be limited, it is our opinion that a GRS wall can be constructed over an RSF layer that is embedded at less than the full design frost penetration depth (2.5 feet rather than the full 5 feet). This reduces the required excavation depth by approximately 2.5 feet, and will allow subgrade preparation in the dry by working around the tides. It will also allow for visual observation of the subgrade prior to RSF placement. Based on these constructability considerations, the GRS wall was selected as the preferred retaining wall type. Global stability and settlement considerations of the GRS‐supported Kennebunk approach are related to the wall design and are discussed in Section 5.4. 5.3 LOAD AND RESISTANCE FACTORS
AASHTO LRFD load factors should be applied to horizontal earth pressure (EH), vertical earth pressure (EV), earth surcharge (ES), live load surcharge (LS) loads, and components and attachments (DC) loads using the load factors for permanent loads (γp) provided in LRFD Table 3.4.1‐2 for strength limit state foundation design. We also used these load factors in the GRS design. The relevant load factors used in the GRS design are presented in the following table.
SUMMARY OF LOAD FACTORS – STRENGTH I
Horizontal Load Factor Type Load Factor Symbol Load Factor
Earth Pressure from Retained Backfill – Active γEHMAX 1.5
Max Earth Pressure from Road Base γESMAX 1.5
Min Earth Pressure from Road Base γESMIN 0.75

Live Load – Superstructure γLL 1.75
Vertical Load Factor Type Load Factor Symbol Load Factor
Min Dead Weight, GRS γEVMIN 1.0
Max Dead Weight, GRS γEVMAX 1.35
Min Dead Weight, Moment Slab γDCMIN 0.9
Recommended LRFD resistance factors for strength limit state design of the GRS wall foundations and abutment foundations, from LRFD Tables 10.5.5.2.2‐1 and 11.5.7‐1, are presented in the following table.

5.4 GRS WALLS
5.4.1 Wall Loading A moment slab is proposed to support the sidewalk above the GRS wall and to resist impact loads from the guard rails. Stantec evaluated the guard rail and moment slab system and provided loading data for GZA’s use in GRS wall design. The Strength I factored load case resulted in the maximum factored bearing pressure and served as a basis for GZA’s design.
5.4.2 Existing Subsurface Profile
GRS wall evaluations for the Kennebunk approach were based on the generalized soil conditions and properties developed using the two test borings drilled through the approach soil profile and the bedrock elevation encountered in BB‐KKKR‐101, El. ‐23. This represents the deepest encountered bedrock beneath the approach embankment and will therefore be used for evaluation of global stability and settlement. The design subsurface profile is summarized in the table below.

Possible beneficial impacts of the apparent granite masonry and timber cribbing encountered in borings BB‐KKKR‐101 and BB‐KKKR‐202 were ignored in the design.
5.4.3 Bearing Resistance The subsurface profile below the RSF at both GRS walls consists of the River Bottom Deposit and/or Fill. Therefore, foundation design is controlled by the engineering properties of these strata, which are summarized below:
Total Unit Weight = 120 pounds per cubic foot;
Representative SPT N‐value = 7 blows per foot in Fill, 4 blows per foot in River Bottom Deposit; and
Representative Internal Friction Angle (’) = 29 degrees (for soil anticipated in zone‐of‐influence of footing).
Bearing resistance was considered and used in the GRS wall external stability evaluation described in Section 5.4.5 below. Recommendations are presented for preparation of the soil and placement of the RSF material in Section 7.1.

Two GRS wall cross sections were analyzed. The primary GRS wall section includes five courses of facing blocks above the RSF and below the moment slab. The design developed for this section will be used where there are two or more courses of facing blocks, which includes the entire NW GRS wall and between approximately Sta. 49+31 to 49+44 along the SW GRS wall. The second GRS wall section includes one course of facing blocks between the RSF and moment slab and will extend from approximately Sta. 49+08 to 49+31 along the SW GRS wall. The GRS wall heights were selected to position the bottom of the lowest facing block at least 2 feet below the top of the riprap. 5.4.5 Design Methodology External stability analyses of the GRS walls were conducted in accordance with FHWA‐HRT‐11‐026 and included evaluation of direct sliding, bearing capacity, and global stability. Internal stability analyses were conducted by evaluating the vertical load‐carrying capacity of the GRS wall and the required reinforcement strength of the geosynthetic. The internal stability analysis was conducted using the Analytical Method prescribed in FHWA‐HRT‐11‐026. The design parameters used for internal stability evaluations are presented in the table below.
INTERNAL STABILITY PARAMETERS
Parameter Label Design Value
Reinforcement Strength, Ultimate Tf 4,800 plf
Reinforcement Strength, 2 percent Strain T2 percent 960 plf
Reinforcement Spacing Sv 9 inches
GRS Soil Maximum Particle Size dmax 1 inch
The geosynthetic reinforcement was evaluated for each layer under both strength and service conditions. The results of our evaluations indicate that the GRS wall geometries listed below satisfy external (sliding and bearing) and internal stability requirements in accordance with FHWA‐HRT‐11‐026.

7‐foot‐long reinforcement2 for a 7.5‐foot‐high GRS wall with moment slab above; and
4.5‐foot‐long reinforcement for a 1.5‐foot‐high GRS wall with moment slab above. Recommendations for construction of the walls are presented in Section 6.2.
5.4.6 GRS Wall Global Stability Global stability was evaluated for a representative cross‐section taken through the SW GRS wall at Sta. 49+39, where the wall height is 6 feet (four courses of facing). This section is approximately 6 feet away from the stone masonry wingwalls. The design basis for acceptable performance was a minimum factor of safety against global instability of 1.3, corresponding approximately to a resistance factor of 0.75, which is specified in AASHTO Article 11.6.2.3 for embankments that do not support structures. GZA utilized SLOPE/W® software to evaluate the reinforcement embedment necessary to achieve global stability of the GRS‐supported embankment. GZA conducted iterative analyses and found that that a 9‐foot minimum geosynthetic reinforcing length was sufficient to achieve a factor of safety of 1.3 against global instability. The 9‐foot required geosynthetic reinforcing length for global stability exceeds the 7‐foot length required for internal and external (sliding and bearing), and is therefore the controlling condition. Consequently, a 9‐foot minimum geosynthetic reinforcing length is recommended. Global stability was not evaluated for the 1.5‐foot‐high GRS wall section because the variation in geometry from the existing condition is minimal.
5.4.7 GRS Wall Settlement With limited widening or grade changes, significant load increases are not anticipated beneath the new GRS walls. Excavation and replacement of the fill material will take place atop River Bottom Deposit which is primarily granular in nature. Therefore, GRS wall settlement is expected to occur as elastic recompression and to occur rapidly during construction. In order to assess the magnitude of settlement GZA used the Hough method (AASHTO Article 10.6.2.4), using the service condition bearing pressure at the base of the GRS wall. The maximum estimated settlement between initial placement of the GRS and completion of paving is approximately 2.5 inches. Settlement was also evaluated between completion of GRS construction and completion of paving, which is representative of the settlement that will be experienced by the moment slab. The estimated settlement for this case is approximately ½ inch or less. We anticipate that post‐construction settlement will be negligible.
2 All GRS reinforcement lengths referenced in this report are measured from the back face of the precast facing blocks
into the embankment. Total reinforcement lengths are longer due to extension between blocks or up the back face of blocks.

5.5 EXISTING ABUTMENTS BEARING ON ROCK
The existing masonry substructures are planned to be reused, and they are believed to be supported by concrete tremie seals bearing on bedrock. Therefore, foundation design is controlled by the engineering properties of the bedrock. GZA developed design engineering parameters for the bedrock mass based on evaluation of the rock types, RQD, and unconfined compression strength laboratory data. RMR was evaluated in accordance with Table 10.4.6.4‐1 of the 2012 AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 6th Edition. Semi‐empirical rock quality constants were interpolated from values in AASHTO 6th Edition Table 10.4.6.4‐4. The current (7th Edition) of the AASHTO Design Specifications does not include the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) formulation included in the previous version (6th Edition). However, articles C10.4.6.4 and 10.6.2.6.2 of the 7th Edition refer to RMR‐based design procedures for footings in rock, so the 6th Edition methodology was followed. Two analyses were conducted, including one for Basalt and one for Metasiltstone/Metasandstone, since the RQD, strength and empirical rock quality constants are different between rock types. The bedrock properties used in the bearing resistance evaluation are presented below:

Basalt 90 6.0 48 0.42 0.00018
Metasiltstone / Metasandstone

Nominal and factored bearing resistances were developed for both rock types using the RMR‐based empirical correlation presented in “Foundations on Rock,” by Duncan Wyllie and are presented in the table below.
FOUNDATION BEARING RESISTANCE
Rock Type Nominal Bearing Resistance (ksf)
Factored Bearing Resistance (ksf)
Basalt 80 36
Metasiltstone/Metasandstone 90 40
The Basalt and Metasandstone/Metasiltstone properties and resistance values correspond to the rock encountered at Abutments 1 and 2, respectively. However, considering that the Basalt occurs as dikes and the extent and location of these features cannot be assessed with the available coring data, it is recommended that the evaluations be based on the lower bearing resistance available for the Basalt. Based on a review of the Substructure Reuse Memo prepared by Stantec dated March 2, 2015, the maximum factored bearing pressure at the base of the tremie seal with the replacement superstructure will be approximately 29 ksf. Therefore, bearing resistance is suitable to support the new superstructure. LRFD Article 10.6.2.4.4 indicates that footings bearing on rock with an RMR‐based rock quality of Fair or better and designed using LRFD methods are generally anticipated to experience ½ inch or less of elastic settlement.

5.6 LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE
The existing granite masonry abutments may not experience lateral movement under the imposed lateral loads. Therefore, they should be analyzed using at‐rest lateral earth pressures. 5.7 SEISMIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The new superstructure will be supported on the existing abutments bearing on bedrock. Therefore, in general accordance with LRFD Table C3.10.3.1, the bridge should be assigned to Site Class B. Recommended seismic design parameters are presented in Section 6.1. 5.8 FROST PENETRATION
Existing Fill soils and/or River Bottom Deposits are anticipated to be present at the GRS walls. Based on the MaineDOT BDG, Section 5.2.1, the Freezing Index for the site is 1,250, and with moderate moisture content (±20 percent) soils, the estimated depth of frost penetration is 5 feet. As discussed previously, the GRS wall design is based on a reduced frost embedment depth of 2 feet, which will be provided by embedding the entire RSF below the bottom of a minimum 2‐foot‐thick riprap layer at the toe of the walls.
6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 SEISMIC DESIGN
The United States Geological Survey online Design Maps Tool was used to develop parameters for bridge design. Based on the site coordinates, the software provided the recommended AASHTO Response Spectra (Site Class B) for a 7 percent probability of exceedance in 75 years. These results are summarized for the site as follows:
SITE CLASS B SEISMIC DESIGN PARAMETERS
Parameter Design Value
Fpga 1.0
Fa 1.0
Fv 1.0
As (Period = 0.0 sec) 0.079 g
SDs (Period = 0.2 sec) 0.169 g
SD1 (Period = 1.0 sec) 0.052 g
Per AASHTO Article 4.7.4.2, single span bridges need not be analyzed for seismic loads, but the minimum requirements for superstructure connections and support lengths as specified in AASHTO Articles 4.7.4.4 and 3.10.9 apply.

6.2 GRS WALL RECOMMENDATIONS
6.2.1 RSF Design
The RSF will consist of open‐graded RSF backfill, encapsulated in non‐woven Separation Geotextile, with a mid‐depth layer of woven geotextile reinforcement. RSF geometry, materials and design parameters are shown on Figure 3 and described below:
The RSF materials and construction shall meet the requirements of Special Provision (SP) 203, Reinforced Soil Foundation Backfill.
The RSF will extend from the back of the reinforcement to a point slightly in front of the outside face of the blocks. Where there is a single row of blocks, the RSF is 1.5 feet thick and will extend 1.5 feet beyond the face of the blocks. Where there are two or more rows of blocks, the RSF is 2.5 feet thick and will extend 2.5 feet in front of the blocks.
The top of the RSF will be beneath at least 2 feet of riprap.
RSF backfill will consist of MaineDOT Specification 703.22, Underdrain Backfill, Type C.
Mid‐depth reinforcement shall consist of biaxial woven polypropylene geotextile with an ultimate reinforcement strength of 4,800.
The RSF shall be completely encapsulated in non‐woven Separation Geotextile, with a minimum overlap of 3 feet at geotextile edges. Since the RSF and GRS fill have very similar grain size distributions, it is not necessary to provide separation between the RSF and the GRS.
6.1.2 GRS WALL DESIGN The GRS wall will consist of open‐graded fill reinforced by woven polypropylene geotextile, with precast modular concrete facing blocks, and it will be constructed over the RSF. GRS geometry, materials and design parameters are shown on Figure 3 and described below:
GRS wall materials and construction shall be in accordance with SP 635, Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Wall.
The GRS reinforcement shall meet the requirements presented in the table below.
GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Wall Height Base Width of GRS
Reinforcement, B (feet)Reinforcement Spacing, SV
(inches)
One Course of Blocks (1.5 feet) 4.5 9
Two or more Courses of Blocks (3 feet or more) 9 9
Reinforced soil placed 2 feet or more behind the back side of concrete facing blocks shall meet the gradation requirements of MaineDOT Specification 703.02, Coarse Aggregate for Concrete, Grading A.
Reinforced soil material placed within 2 feet of the back side of concrete facing blocks will meet the requirements provided for RSF (MaineDOT Specification 703.22, Underdrain Backfill, Type C).
06/02/2016
MATHEW J. LANIGAN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT 09.0025898.00
15
Reinforced soil shall be placed and compacted in accordance with the requirements of SP 203, Open Graded Backfill and SP 635, Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Wall. Hand‐operated compaction equipment is required within 2 feet of the back of the wall face.
Precast concrete facing blocks will be 18 inches tall, a minimum of 28 inches deep, and shall meet the requirements of SP 635, Concrete Facing Blocks and SP 635, Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Wall. The facing blocks shown on Figure 3 are 46‐1/8 inches long, corresponding to the dimensions of a standard Redi‐Rock® precast concrete modular block.
Geosynthetic reinforcement will consist of biaxial woven polypropylene geotextile with an ultimate reinforcement strength of 4,800 plf and a reinforcement strength of 960 plf at two percent strain. For Mirafi HP570 geotextile, this allows the material to be oriented either machine direction (MD) or cross direction (CD).
Geosynthetic reinforcement placed between blocks will cover a minimum of 85 percent (2 feet measured horizontally) of the width of the facing block to the front face of the wall.
Geosynthetic reinforcement placed at mid‐height behind blocks will be wrapped 9 inches up along the backside of the facing block prior to placing the backfill above.
6.3 ABUTMENTS
Based on our evaluations, the factored bearing resistance of the abutments bearing on bedrock is greater than the maximum factored bearing pressure with the new superstructure. Therefore, bearing resistance of the existing abutments is suitable. The existing substructures should also be evaluated using the following load and resistance parameters:
Recommended soil properties for existing abutment backfill soils are as follows:
- Internal Friction Angle of Soil = 29°
- Soil Total Unit Weight = 120 pcf
- Coefficient of At‐Rest Earth Pressure, Ko = 0.52
Live load surcharge should be applied as a uniform lateral surcharge pressure using the equivalent fill height (Heq) values developed in accordance with AASHTO Article 3.11.6.4 based on the abutment/wingwall height and distance from the wall backface to the edge of traffic.
Resistance against sliding should be assessed based on AASHTO Table 3.11.5.3‐1, using a resistance factor of 0.8 for the strength case. Recommended nominal and factored sliding resistance coefficients are as follows:
- Cast‐in‐place tremie seal on rock: Nominal = 0.7, Factored = 0.56
- Dressed Granite Masonry on Tremie Seal: Nominal = 0.6, Factored = 0.48
- Dressed Granite Masonry on Dressed Granite Masonry: Nominal = 0.6, Factored = 0.48

7.0 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
This section provides guidance regarding quality control, excavation, dewatering, and foundation subgrade preparation and protection. These items are given in the paragraphs that follow. 7.1 EXCAVATION, TEMPORARY LATERAL SUPPORT AND DEWATERING
Excavations for the GRS wall are anticipated to range from 2 to 12.5 feet below existing pavement grades, extending as deep as approximately El. ‐2 adjacent to the abutment. It is our understanding that the retaining walls will be constructed within single‐lane closures. In areas where sufficient space is available and water conditions permit, the excavation slopes may consist of sloped, open cuts. This will likely be limited to the single‐course portion of the SW GRS wall. It is anticipated that sheet pile excavation support will be required for the remainder of the SW GRS wall and the NW GRS wall to maintain a single lane of traffic. However, the potential for obstructions should be considered in selection of the excavation support system, and overexcavation and/or partial demolition of buried structural remnants may be needed to install sheeting to the required depths. In all cases, temporary excavations should comply with OSHA excavation safety requirements. Considering the proximity of the excavations to the river water level, management of water will be related to tidal conditions. The deepest excavation level for the RSF will be about half way between MTL and MLW. Therefore, the deepest RSF bearing level will only be accessible in‐the‐dry for a few hours of each tide cycle. The base of the RSF should be cut smooth prior to placing the RSF, and loose or otherwise unsuitable material should be removed prior to placement of Separation Geotextile. It is recommended that final preparation of the RSF bearing surface be completed in‐the‐dry to allow observation of the prepared surface by the Geotechnical Engineer, and that fill compaction also be completed in‐the‐dry. Timber cribbing and/or granite masonry were encountered at elevations ranging between approximately El. ‐1 and El. 1. Therefore, the contractor should be prepared to encounter these materials and/or other obstructions at or above bearing levels for the RSF. Where present, these materials should be removed to a depth of at least 3 inches below the design bottom of RSF elevation. The Separation Geotextile should be placed directly over the overexcavated areas, and RSF should extend down to the geotextile level. It is anticipated that it will be very difficult to dewater excavations that extend below tide level. One option is to work around the tides to complete the work in‐the‐dry. Alternatively, sheet pile cofferdams could be installed to provide a partial seepage cutoff, such that dewatering could be accomplished using sumps and pumps in the base of the excavation. The contractor should be responsible for controlling groundwater, surface runoff, tidal inflow, infiltration and water from all other sources by methods which preserve the undisturbed condition of the subgrade and permit foundation construction in‐the‐dry. Discharge of pumped groundwater and river water should comply with all local, State, and federal regulations. 7.2 REUSE OF ON‐SITE MATERIALS
Fill materials required for this project consist of processed, angular gravel materials and riprap. The encountered soils are not anticipated to meet gradation requirements for these materials.
06/02/2016
MATHEW J. LANIGAN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT 09.0025898.00

Based on the gradation analyses, the fill does not meet MaineDOT specifications for Granular Borrow and/or Granular Borrow for Underwater Backfill or structural backfill. The material is considered suitable for use as Common Borrow. If the contractor wishes to reuse excavated material as embankment fill or in other areas, we recommend that the proposed material be stockpiled and tested for grain size distribution. Stockpiled materials meeting the appropriate MaineDOT specifications may be reused on the project.

GEOTECHNICAL LIMITATIONS Use of Report 1. GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (GZA) prepared this report on behalf of, and for the exclusive use of our
Client for the stated purpose(s) and location(s) identified in the Proposal for Services and/or Report. Use of this report, in whole or in part, at other locations, or for other purposes, may lead to inappropriate conclusions; and we do not accept any responsibility for the consequences of such use(s). Further, reliance by any party not expressly identified in the contract documents, for any use, without our prior written permission, shall be at that party’s sole risk, and without any liability to GZA.
Standard of Care 2. GZA’s findings and conclusions are based on the work conducted as part of the Scope of Services set
forth in Proposal for Services and/or Report, and reflect our professional judgment. These findings and conclusions must be considered not as scientific or engineering certainties, but rather as our professional opinions concerning the limited data gathered during the course of our work. If conditions other than those described in this report are found at the subject location(s), or the design has been altered in any way, GZA shall be so notified and afforded the opportunity to revise the report, as appropriate, to reflect the unanticipated changed conditions .
3. GZA’s services were performed using the degree of skill and care ordinarily exercised by qualified
professionals performing the same type of services, at the same time, under similar conditions, at the same or a similar property. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
4. In conducting our work, GZA relied upon certain information made available by public agencies,
Client and/or others. GZA did not attempt to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of that information. Inconsistencies in this information which we have noted, if any, are discussed in the Report.
Subsurface Conditions 5. The generalized soil profile(s) provided in our Report are based on widely‐spaced subsurface
explorations and are intended only to convey trends in subsurface conditions. The boundaries between strata are approximate and idealized, and were based on our assessment of subsurface conditions. The composition of strata, and the transitions between strata, may be more variable and more complex than indicated. For more specific information on soil conditions at a specific location refer to the exploration logs. The nature and extent of variations between these explorations may not become evident until further exploration or construction. If variations or other latent conditions then become evident, it will be necessary to reevaluate the conclusions and recommendations of this report.
6. In preparing this report, GZA relied on certain information provided by the Client, state and local
officials, and other parties referenced therein which were made available to GZA at the time of our evaluation. GZA did not attempt to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of all information reviewed or received during the course of this evaluation.

7. Water level readings have been made in test holes (as described in this Report) and monitoring wells at the specified times and under the stated conditions. These data have been reviewed and interpretations have been made in this Report. Fluctuations in the level of the groundwater however occur due to temporal or spatial variations in areal recharge rates, soil heterogeneities, the presence of subsurface utilities, and/or natural or artificially induced perturbations. The water table encountered in the course of the work may differ from that indicated in the Report.
8. GZA’s services did not include an assessment of the presence of oil or hazardous materials at the
property. Consequently, we did not consider the potential impacts (if any) that contaminants in soil or groundwater may have on construction activities, or the use of structures on the property.
9. Recommendations for foundation drainage, waterproofing, and moisture control address the
conventional geotechnical engineering aspects of seepage control. These recommendations may not preclude an environment that allows the infestation of mold or other biological pollutants.
Compliance with Codes and Regulations 10. We used reasonable care in identifying and interpreting applicable codes and regulations. These
codes and regulations are subject to various, and possibly contradictory, interpretations. Compliance with codes and regulations by other parties is beyond our control.
Cost Estimates 11. Unless otherwise stated, our cost estimates are only for comparative and general planning purposes.
These estimates may involve approximate quantity evaluations. Note that these quantity estimates are not intended to be sufficiently accurate to develop construction bids, or to predict the actual cost of work addressed in this Report. Further, since we have no control over either when the work will take place or the labor and material costs required to plan and execute the anticipated work, our cost estimates were made by relying on our experience, the experience of others, and other sources of readily available information. Actual costs may vary over time and could be significantly more, or less, than stated in the Report.
Additional Services 12. GZA recommends that we be retained to provide services during any future: site observations,
design, implementation activities, construction and/or property development/redevelopment. This will allow us the opportunity to: i) observe conditions and compliance with our design concepts and opinions; ii) allow for changes in the event that conditions are other than anticipated; iii) provide modifications to our design; and iv) assess the consequences of changes in technologies and/or regulations.

GROUND PENETRATING RADAR AND METAL DETECTION SURVEYS OF THE MATHEW J. LANIGAN BRIDGE ABUTMENT SITES,
KENNEBUNK AND KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE INTRODUCTION At the request of GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic metal detection (EM) surveys were conducted at both ends of the Mathew J. Lanigan Bridge that spans the Kennebunk River between Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, Maine. The objective of the surveys was to locate and determine the geometry of certain buried structural elements behind each of the main abutment structures. Of particular interest was the location, depth and thickness of a large buried reinforced concrete slab on the Kennebunkport end of the bridge. The surveys were conducted on November 3, 2015 by Mike Scully of Northeast Geophysical Services (NGS). This report summarizes the site conditions, methods used, and the results of the geophysical surveys. SITE LOCATION AND CONDITIONS The survey site includes the areas over and immediately adjacent to both abutments of the Mathew J. Lanigan bridge between Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, Maine. The bridge is a steel girder swing bridge built in 1933. Figure 1 shows the general layout of the areas adjacent to each end of the bridge as well as the results of the surveys. On both sides of the bridge the surveys were conducted over the entire width of the roadway and accessible portions of the sidewalks on either side of the roadway. On the Kennebunk (west) side of the bridge the surveys extended to 30 feet back from the steel plate on top of the concrete abutment wall. On the Kennebunkport (east) side of the bridge the surveys extended to 39 feet back from the steel plate on top of the concrete abutment wall. Weather conditions on the day of the surveys were amenable to the field work. Test borings were being conducted on the same day by a separate subcontractor and GZA personnel were on site to supervise the field activities. Traffic control was also provided by a separate subcontractor and alternate one-way traffic was employed to allow access to the busy roadway. METHODS AND INSTRUMENTATION EM-61 Metal Detector: A Geonics EM61-MK2 metal detector was used for the metal detection surveys. The EM61 is a portable time-domain instrument with a coincident transmitter/receiver coil and second parallel receiver coil for depth to target estimation and rejection of surface metal response. The instrument measures the secondary electromagnetic field response in milli-volts (mV). The EM61 is designed specifically to locate medium to large buried metal objects such as drums and tanks while being relatively insensitive to above-surface metallic objects such as fences, buildings and power lines. The technique is sensitive to conductive metal up to a depth of approximately 12 feet. The size and burial depth of the metal determine the strength of the response. EM data is digitally recorded on an Allegro CX field computer. Readings can be

triggered automatically (by time), manually, or if the wheel mode is used, readings can be recorded at regular intervals controlled by the rotation of the wheels. The wheel mode was used for the surveys at this site and readings were recorded every 0.62 feet along traverses spaced three feet apart. The results of the EM61 survey are shown on Figure 1. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): Ground penetrating radar utilizes high frequency radio waves to probe the subsurface. Radar waves are transmitted into the ground from an antenna that is pushed or pulled across the ground surface. In the subsurface, radar waves are reflected at interfaces of materials with contrasting dielectric properties. The returning signal is intercepted by a receiver and converted to a digital graphic image. The horizontal axis of the image is distance along the traverse. The vertical axis is two-way travel time of the radar pulses, in nanoseconds (ns) which can be converted to depth. Tanks, pipelines and other objects with rounded tops (boulders, tree roots, or segments of old foundations, for example) may show up on the profiles as hyperbola-shaped reflections. Tanks and pipelines usually appear on more than one survey line as hyperbolic reflectors on lines perpendicular to the tank or pipe axis and as horizontal reflectors on lines along the axis. The GPR instrument used was a GSSI, SIR-3000. A 400-MHz antenna was used with a time range set for 60 nanoseconds. At this setting the depth surveyed is approximately 10 feet. Field Survey Procedures: Survey ground grids were laid out on both sides of the bridge using measuring tapes and paint. This was done in four quadrants as access was made available by traffic control. The south side of each end of the bridge was marked and surveyed first, followed by the north side of each end. On the Kennebunk side of the bridge the grid extended to 30 feet west of the steel plate on top of the concrete abutment wall. On the Kennebunkport side of the bridge the grid extended to 39 feet east of the steel plate on top of the concrete abutment wall. The road centerline was used as zero north on the survey grid. EM61 readings were then recorded using the wheel mode at 0.62-foot intervals along lines spaced three feet apart in the east-west direction as shown on Figure 1. GPR profiles were recorded over lines spaced three feet apart in both the east-west and north-south grid directions. SURVEY RESULTS Figure 1 shows the site layout and the location and results of the EM and GPR surveys at the site. For the EM61 the figure indicates the distribution of metal within approximately 12 feet of the ground surface. The strength of the metal response shown is directly proportional to the total surface area of metal under the instrument and inversely proportional to the depth of the metal. Zero or very low metal responses are shown as small gray plus marks that also indicate the path of the traverses. Increasing metallic responses are indicated by colored blocks progressing from yellow to gold to red to black as shown in the explanation on the figure. On the Kennebunk side of the bridge the EM metal response is interpreted to be caused by reinforcing steel in the concrete sidewalks and the bridge abutment wall and by the steel plates at the contact between the bridge and abutment. There is an obvious halo effect of diminishing metal response with distance away from the abutment. Other than two small responses from the utility and light poles, there were no other significant metal anomalies that could be attributed to

other unseen metal-bearing objects. Figure 2 illustrates the significant features detected by the GPR surveys on the Kennebunk side of the bridge. There is a linear pipe-like reflector at about 2.5 feet deep that runs alongside the southerly sidewalk. This could be caused by a pipe or possibly by a structural feature such as the top of a buried wall. It appears to be non-metallic. Reinforcing steel in the concrete sidewalk can also be seen in the same figure. There is also a fairly large looking buried feature that appears to cross the road about 10-12 feet back from the bridge abutment. The nature of the fill material appears to be different on either side of this feature as can be seen on the figure. This is labeled on the figure as “Possible buried masonry structure”. The top of this feature is about 2 feet below grade and it appears to increase in width with depth from about a foot or so at the top to roughly four feet wide a few feet lower. On the Kennebunkport side of the bridge the EM response is also mainly caused by reinforcing steel in the bridge abutment and concrete walks, the steel plate at the end of the bridge, and also from the light and utility poles as shown on Figure 1. The buried reinforced concrete slab shows a muted response on the EM because of the burial depth. The slab showed up quite well on the GPR where you can see the top of the slab as well as the rebar in it as shown on Figures 3 and 4. The top of the slab is approximately 2.7 feet below the road surface. On Figure 4 the top of the concrete slab appears to drop down suddenly beneath the sidewalks on either end. This apparent drop is not real and is caused by the fact that the sidewalk surfaces rise several inches above the road surface. The top of the slab is actually flat. The westerly edge of the slab is approximately 3 to 3.5 feet east of the east edge of the curved steel plate on the bridge abutment at the center of the roadway and the slab is approximately 14 feet wide. The bottom of the slab does not show up clearly on the GPR profiles but it appears to be about 12” to 18” thick. The slab appears to have two layers of reinforcing steel in it, each with rebar at about 12” on center in a square grid pattern. An attempt was made to identify the location and pattern of steel rails in a concrete and steel rail counterweight on the Kennebunkport end of the bridge structure. Unfortunately there was too much steel in the structure for either the EM or GPR instruments used to identify individual rails within it. There is also a linear pipe-like reflector at about 1.5 to 2.0 feet deep that runs alongside the southerly sidewalk on this side of the bridge. Another shallow linear feature running between the signal light and the Operator’s House is most likely an electrical conduit. LIMITATIONS OF THE SURVEYS The EM61 metal detection survey provides an indication of where buried metal exists at the site surveyed. The Ground Penetrating Radar survey produces reflectors at interfaces of materials with contrasting dielectric properties. Both of these instruments provide indirect measurements of subsurface conditions. The actual cause of the features depicted on the figures can only be conclusively determined by direct observation.

Global Stability
Evaluated global stability using Slope/W. Preliminary evalua ons conducted for B=7' and BTotal=9.33' indicated FS =
1.2, lengthened geoysynthe c to improve global stability.
Increased B to 9' BTotal to 11.33'and reevaluated global stability. Achieved a minimum FS=1.3.
The 9‐foot required geosynthe c reinforcing length for global stability exceeds the 7‐foot length required for internaland external (sliding and bearing), and is therefore the controlling condi on. Consequently, a 9‐foot minimumgeosynthe c reinforcing length is recommended. Slope/W output is a ached.

1. Rock Proper es
Bedrock proper es were obtained from rock core specimens and logs completed for the Mathew J. Lanigan Bridge Project inKennebunk, ME. The following table presents the data. The data used for this analysis excludes boring BB‐KKKR‐101 since adifferent rock type was encountered. Some of the core runs with lower quality bedrock (lower RQD) were not representa ve due tover cal fracturing. The data used for this analysis is highlighted in the table below.
