MEMORANDUM
TO: ~ George Kolb, Administrator
FROM: ~~I:j Teresa C. Smith, P'. E., Director of Public Works & Engineering
DATE: AugiIst 9,2001
SUBJECT: Courtney Pond Happy Road Detention Pond
Project No.: 323-04-201823559
File Reference: 01-014(A)
This is to request approval to award th~ subject contractto Nordmann Contracting, me., due to an
emergency situation. Presently, the spillway has totally collapsed and there is no water detention,
resulting in downstream impacts to Rocky Creek. This condition also po~es a potential for flooding
downstream of the d~tention pond.
On April 17, 2001, the Augusta-Richmond County Commission authori~ed the Public Works and
Engineering Department to select an engineering firm to conduct an emergency design to repair the
existing spillway to Courtney's Detention Pond and to negotiate with a contractor. Sealed bids were
opened on July 27, 2001,with three contractors submitting bids. Nordmann Contracting, Inc. is the
low hidder at $52,435.00. Funding for the project will be from the County Forces, Grading and
Drainage Account.
The contract d'ocuments and proper bonds are attached for your review and approval. An agenda
item will be provided for the August 21, 2601 Commission Meeting to ratify thi-s action.

mandatory batch ticket information for each load of ready mix concrete. Begin mixing
within 30 minutes after the cement has been added to the aggregates. Place concrete
within 90 minutes of either addition of mixing water to cement and aggregates or addition
of cement to aggregates if the air temperature is less than 85 degrees F. Reduce mixing
time t'o 60 minutes if the air temperature is greater than 85 degrees F. Additional water
may be added, provided that both the specified maximum slump and water-cement ratio
are not exceeded, If the entrained air content falls below the specified limit, add a
sufficient quantity of admixture to bring the entrained air content within the specified
limits. Do not place concrete when weather conditions prevent proper placement and
consolidation; in uncovered areas during periods of precipitation; or in standing water.
Prior to placing concrete, remove dirt, construction debris, and water from \vithin the
forms. Consolidate concrete slabs greater than 4 inches in depth with high frequency,

INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a subsurface exploration for spillway
improvements at the Courtney Pond Dam on Wheeless Road in Augusta, Georgia. It
is our understanding that the planned construction is to consist of the removal and
replacement of retaining walls and concrete slabs at the existing spillway.
The purpose of this work was to evaluate the suitability of this site for the
proposed construction and to detennine whether any extraordinary conditions could be
expected. In order to explore the subsurface soil conditions, test borings were made
to determine the character and composition of underlying soil strata and to defme the
soil profile within the areas of these borings. Samples of the soil were obtained from
the test borings for field and laboratory analyses to assess the engineering
characteristics of the materials and to provide criteria for use by the design engineers
in preparing the foundation treatment and site development for this project.

FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field exploration to determine the engmeenng characteristics of the
foundation materials included a reconnaissance of the project site, the making of the
borings, the performance of standard penetration tests and the recovery of disturbed
split spoon samples. The apparent ground water level was recorded in each boring
after completion.
A total of three (3) test borings numbered B-1, B-2, and B-3 were made using
the drill rig. In areas inaccessibleto the drill rig, three (3) auger borings numbered B-4,
B-5 and B-6 were made. These borings were drilled to depths shown on the individual
test boring records. The locations of these borings are shown on the attached Boring
Location Plan.
In the test borings, soil sampling was performed in accordance with ASTM D-
1586. The borings were made with continuous steel auger flights. At'regular intervals,
standard penetration tests were conducted with a 2 inch split tube sampler. The
sampler was first seated 6 inches to penetrate any loose cuttings, then driven an
additional foot with blows of a 140 pound hammer falling 30 inches. A record was
made of the number of blows required to drive sampler the final foot. This number is
designated the penetration resistance and is an index of the soil strength and density.
In the auger borings, samples from the augers were continuously monitored
during the drilling operation and the conditions reported on the field boring logs along
with any observed changes in soil consistency and drilling resistance.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Representative samples of the soils from the borings were visually examined in
the field and returned to our laboratory for further analysis. In the laboratory, each
,
sample was examined and classified by composition and texture according to the
Unified Soil Classification System.
The types of subsurface materials encountered in these test borings are described
on the accompanying test boring records. The results of our standard penetration tests
and water level observation at the time oftrus exploration are listed in numerical form
on the test boring records. The soil conditions described in the test boring records
represent our interpretation of the field boring logs, visual examination of the soil
samples, and comparison to typical samples from past explorations in this geophysical
.
regIOn.
Representative samples of the soil were placed in special sample jars and are
now stored in our laboratory if further analysis is desired. Unless we are notified
otherwise, all of the soil samples from this exploration will be disposed of after 30
days.

SITE CONDITIONS,
These borings were made at the location ofthe existing spillway for the Courtney
Pond. There are signs of settlement and structural distress in the concrete slabs and
masonry walls of the existing system. Visual observations indicate that some problems
, are the result of erosion of tmderlying soils during periods of heavy flow through the
spillway.
The subsurface conditions tmderlying this site were found to consist generally
of granular sands and clayey sands with some minor variations in silt and clay content.
Significant voids were fotmd beneath the concrete slab in Borings B-3 and B-5
indicating erosion ofthe granular soils. The results of standard penetration tests show
that there are moderate bearing qualities in the undisturbed soils in Boring B-1, but
upper soil layers in other areas are initially quite loose.
Further discussions ofbearing values and soil properties are given in a following
section of this report.

WATER LEVEL OBSERVATIONS
Water level observations were made during the boring operations and are noted
on the test boring records for each ofthe respective test boring locations. In relatively
pervious or sandy soils, the indicated levels are considered reliable ground water
'elevations. In relatively impervious soils, the accurate determination of the ground"
water elevation may not be possible even after several days of observation. Seasonal
variations may influence the levels of the ground water table and volumes of water will
depend on the permeability of the upper soils. If deep excavations or pits are planned,
additional long-term studies of the ground water table would be advisable. This can
be done with the installation of piezometers or perforated casing which extend below
the bottom of proposed excavations.
In these granular soils, we would expect the grOlmd water level to be at
approximately the same level as the existing pond.

DISCUSSION
We have been informed that the existing retaining walls and concrete slabs
between the twmel and the pond are to be removed and replaced with new walls and
slabs. In the area of Boring B-1 where very firm to very stiff soils were encountered,
there is adequate support for a retaining wall with bearing values in the range of3,000
psf to 4,000 psf. However, in the areas of Borings B-2 and B-3, loose sands were
. encoUntered to depths of 6 to 8 feet. In these areas, the retaining wall footings must be
extended down to the fmn soils, or the loose soils removed and replaced with soils
compacted to 95% of Standard Proctor Density. \Vith either procedure, a soil bearing
value of2,000 psfis recommended. Temporary dewatering will be necessary to allow
the excavation and placement of soils and concrete to be done in a dry condition.
The construction of new concrete slabs will involve the demolition of existing
slabs and the replacement of eroded soils. A thorough inspection of soil conditions
beneath the slab areas should be conducted after removal of the concrete.'
For design ofthe new retaining walls, we recommend the following soil values.
