Document Description
The objective of the project is to obtain soil data required for design level analysis of the Marysville Ring Levee project. The proposed action will include exploration using sonic drilling methods with continuous sampling. Approximately 27 borings will be conducted and will be approximately 10 inches in diameter. Soil cores will be excavated to a depth of 150 feet. Excavated soil cores will be collected and removed from the site for testing. Upon completion of drilling, each boring will be grouted with cement-bentonite slurry.
