1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Description This report has been prepared for a developed site in the northern portion of the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The report represents the intent of the project owner, City of Cleveland, and the project design engineer, C&S Engineers, Inc. (the client), to secure subsurface information at selected locations which will aid the project design engineer in preparation of the STG Expansion Facility Study. The City of Cleveland is planning to expand the existing short term parking garage (STG) at Cleveland, Hopkins International Airport (CHIA) in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The site is located between the exiting short term and long term parking garages next to Park Road. The potential site for horizontal expansion is currently used as overflow parking. The site is generally flat with asphalt pavement in most of the areas. According to our past experience working in the general area, bedrock including shale, silty Shale or sandstone may be found at depth more than 100 feet in the area and depth of rock becomes shallower few miles on the northwest of the site. The purpose of the investigation is to sample and test soil and rock and to provide additional subgrade information for the project design. The scope of services is limited to a geotechnical investigation and preliminary design parameters. 1.2 Authorization C&S Engineers requested a proposal, for the above-mentioned project, from J&L Laboratories, Inc. on March 23, 2010. We submitted proposals on April 14 and April 27, 2010 for the geotechnical exploration. The proposals were approved and written authorization to proceed with the project was given in writing by C&S Engineers on May 18, 2010. 1.3 Scope of Services The detailed scope of services for this project was outlined in J&L proposal No. P101309 dated April 27, 2010. J&Ls scope of services for field investigation included advancing six (6) test borings to depths ranging from 40 to 100 feet, installing 100 feet PVC casing, conducting seismic shear wave velocity measurements in the casing. exploration report were included. Laboratory tests and a brief

Proposed Short Term Parking Garage Expansion at CHIA Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Page 2 The scope of services did not include any environmental assessments for the presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic materials in the soil, surface water, groundwater or air, on or below or around this site. Any statements in this report regarding odors, colors or unusual or suspicious items or conditions are strictly for the information for the client.
2.0 RECONNAISSANCE J&L personnel performed site and in-house reconnaissance prior to field exploration for the project. The reconnaissance consisted of reviewing of available project information,
geological information, our past project experience in the vicinity of the site area, and our cursory site visits. reconnaissance. 2.1 General Geological Setting The project site lies on the glaciated, relatively smooth but dissected Mississippi Valley Plain, bordered on the west by the Rocky River, at an approximate elevation of 750 feet. The Wisconsin glacier passed over the area but in general left only a thin coating of drift, averaging less than 25 feet. Bedrock in the area consisted of mainly Devonian age shale or siltstone. Depth of bedrock in the general area varies from 13 to 200 feet. Due to the projects location at the airport, fill materials can be found in the vicinity of the general site areas. According to the Cuyahoga County Soil Survey Report dated December 2007, soils in the site area consisted of mainly Urban Land-Mahoning Association. Generally, these soils The following paragraphs outline the information obtained from the
consisted of poorly drained, silty and loamy glacial till, on uplands and lake plain. These soils may be classified as CL, CL-ML, ML, SM, and SC according to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). 2.2 Known and Probable Karst in the Site Area Information obtained from Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Natural Resources, no known Karst topography (i.e. sinkhole areas) in the vicinity of the Cuyahoga County area was found. appendix of the report. A map of Ohio Known Karst Areas is attached in the
Proposed Short Term Parking Garage Expansion at CHIA Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Page 3 2.3 Earthquake The site is in the vicinity of recorded earthquake epicenters according to Ohio Earthquake Epicenters Map. The Ohio earthquake fault line map also indicated that one fault line was noted in vicinity of the site area. According to Ohios Building Code (2007), Table 1615.1.1, this site may be in Site Class D with estimated Shear Wave Velocity Vs of 600 to 1,200 (ft/s). This estimation is done only based on Standard Penetration Test Result and general soil type. Since a seismic wave measurement field test was performed done on July 9th 2010 in boring B-2 on this site, more accurate information is outlined in the attached report. 2.4 Underground Mines Information obtained from Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Mines, no known underground mines are located in the vicinity of the project site area.
3.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION 3.1 Planning C&S Engineers selected the test-boring locations and investigative program. A total of six (6) test borings were planned for the soil study. The client provided preliminary site plan and staked all test boring locations in the field. These test boring locations are shown on the attached figure - "Approximate Test Boring Locations" in the appendix of this report. All test boring locations were mapped by the client. Grade elevations of these test borings were not provided to us presently. Therefore, depths are used in our report and each boring log. The project site is occupied by existing parking lots or landscaping grass or trees. Due to the site conditions, an ATV drilling rig was used for the site exploration. J&L personnel contacted Ohio Utility Protection Services (OUPS), Oil & Gas Producers Underground Protection Services (OGPUPS), project owner, and utility companies whose names were made available to us prior to commencing test-boring operations. The field drilling operation was delayed nearly a month due to the underground utility clearance process. 3.2 Exploratory Test Boring The field explorations were performed in accordance with applicable ASTM Specifications. A CME D-750 ATV-mount drilling rig was mobilized to advance the test borings on May 20, 2010, June 22, 2010 through June 30, 2010. Representative disturbed samples of soil were collected at center-to-center interval of 5.0 (or 2.5 at few sampling depths) feet and a Standard J&L Laboratories, Inc.
10773r1.doc /8/1/2010
Proposed Short Term Parking Garage Expansion at CHIA Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Page 4 Penetration Test (ASTM D-1586) were performed at each sampling interval. Undisturbed thinwalled, Shelby tube sample (in accordance with ASTM D-1587) was attempted in boring B-1. A 2 ID schedule 40 PVC casing was installed in the boring B-2 for Seismic Wave measurement purpose. The Seismic wave measurement was conducted in the field on July 9, 2010 by
Grumman Exploration, Inc. Test borings were monitored for the presence of groundwater during and upon completion of the drilling operations before filling the borehole. Long term groundwater monitoring was not planned for the project. The test drilling logs, included in the Appendix of this report, show the SPT resistance (N) values for each soil sample obtained in the test borings, and present the classification and description of soils or rock encountered at various depths in the test borings. 3.3 Sample Analysis A geotechnical engineer visually examined all soil and rock samples obtained during the field investigation. The engineer selected representative soil samples to be tested in the
laboratory for assistance in soil classification and determination of engineering properties of the soils. The tests consisted of Moisture Content Determination, Particle-Size Analysis, Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit and Plasticity Index Determinations, and One Dimensional Consolidation tests. All tests were performed in accordance with ASTM, AASHTO or other standards listed in a table located in the Appendix. The soils were classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). A description of the classification system and the results of the laboratory tests are included in the Appendix.
4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 4.1 Subsurface Soil and Rock Conditions Very similar subgrade conditions were encountered in all six (6) test borings. All test borings were advanced through soil outside pavement or sidewalk concrete areas. A thin layer (2 to 3 inches thick) of topsoil was found in boring B-1 and B-2. Fill material was found in the upper 3.5 feet in boring B-1, in the upper 5.0 feet in boring B-2, in the upper 7.5 feet in boring B5, and in the upper 3.5 feet in boring B-6. Relatively consistent subsurface conditions were encountered in the test borings. The subgrade soils found from all borings predominantly consisted of Silty Clay, Lean Clay with Sand, Sandy Lean Clay with Sand, Sandy Lean Clay with Gravel classified as CL (according to J&L Laboratories, Inc.
10773r1.doc /8/1/2010
Proposed Short Term Parking Garage Expansion at CHIA Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Page 5 the Unified Soil Classification System-USCS). Silty Clay Sand (SC-SM) was found between depths of 35.0 to 40.0 feet in boring B-1. Silt with Sand (ML) was found between depths of 20.0 to 25.0 feet in boring B-6. Bedrock was not encountered in any test borings. Consistency of the cohesive soils was found to range from stiff to hard, but was predominantly very stiff to hard. Relative density of one non-cohesive sample found in boring B-1 was found to be dense. According to the soil density (or consistency) profile, it appeared that SPT blow count N values were consistently high below approximate depth of 25 (in most borings) to 30 feet (in boring B-2). Whether or not the trend was resulted from man-made filling construction is unknown. We think the soils in the upper 25 to 30 feet might not be as
consistent as in the lower portion of the subgrade. A summary of laboratory test results is included in the appendix of this report. The
laboratory test results indicate that the natural moisture contents of the tested cohesive soils ranged from 7 o 25%, but most of them are less than 15% (or equal to or less than their plastic limits). When CL soils have a moisture content less than 15%, the moisture content is normally within (or slightly less than) the optimum moisture content range. These moisture contents are typical for the CL soils in moist condition. Normally, soils with moisture contents greater than their liquid limits are in a liquid condition and have no shear strength. Soils with their moisture contents less than their liquid limits and greater than or equal to their plastic limits are in a plastic state, and have a potential for volume change. When natural moisture content of
cohesive soil is less than its plastic limits, the soil is in a semi-solid state and has low potential for volume change under certain loading pressure. One (1) consolidation test was performed using a sample obtained between depths of 8.0 and 9.0 feet from test boring B-1. This test indicated that an over consolidation ratio of 2.0 was found from the tested soil sample. The test result is attached in the appendix of the report. 4.2 Groundwater Conditions Water was only encountered in test boring B-2 during and upon completion of drilling operations at depths of 77.5 and 60.3 feet, respectively. It is possible that granular lenses exist between the clayey soils, and seepage water flowed inside the boring hole. It is common that dry hole condition can be found in stiff to hard clayey soils. The water level readings were conducted during a short period of time. The water level readings are listed in each boring log. More accurate water level readings may be obtained by
Proposed Short Term Parking Garage Expansion at CHIA Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Page 6 the installation of groundwater monitoring wells and conducting water level readings over a longer period of time or from other available records if it is required. The water level is subject to seasonal fluctuations and may be encountered where previously not recorded. During
construction, the contractor(s) should pay more attention on surface water flow and plan proper surface drainage (especially in low-lying areas) according to weather and seasonal factors.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Conclusions and Foundation Options Based on the above findings, we provide the following preliminary recommendations for the proposed foundation design. The subgrade soils in the upper 25 to 30 feet may be involved different staged glaciations or human construction activity. The relatively similar density profile in all six borings seems reveal this pattern. However, we dont have enough evidence to confirm this assumption. A hard stratum was found below 25 to 30 feet (the top layer). Conventional spread footing may be used to support the proposed column or wall footings if consolidation settlements are within the tolerable range. However, the total of six test borings drilled for mainly the purpose of preliminary study, and these borings are not considered sufficient for the final foundation design (to reveal possible strata changes between borings). Additional test borings in the middle portion of the site should be considered (unless previous investigations reveal more information on the site) in the future. End bearing drilled shafts can be used to support the heavy column load and provide very reliable foundation support if conventional spread footings are questionable, however, the cost can be much higher. As an alternative, we believe the GeopierTM foundation system can be considered as a suitable subgrade improvement system. The system has been used in many similar projects, and improved the seismic site class and greatly increase the soil bearing capacity (reduce the foundation cost). GeopierTM foundation system is invented to improve the subgrade soil density in the upper 25 to 30 feet. This site appeared to have the need for improvement mainly in the upper 25 feet of the subgrade. According to information provided by GeopierTM Foundation system, they have installed GeopierTM foundation to support a heavy column load of 5,000 kips.
Proposed Short Term Parking Garage Expansion at CHIA Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Page 7 We also discussed with the client and other team members the need for additional Seismic wave measuring inside the existing garage STG. Our drilling crew is capable of using a skid rig if the head space is more than 12 feet. We can keep searching lower profile drilling equipment for head space less than this vertical dimension.
6.0 Limitations This report is developed based on the field exploration program, laboratory soil and/or rock testing, and information secured for design studies. It should be noted that the site
exploration identified actual subsurface conditions only at those locations where samples are obtained. The data derived through sampling and the subsequent laboratory testing program was reduced by geotechnical engineers and geologists who then render an opinion regarding the overall subsurface conditions, and their likely reaction on the site. Information regarding project foundation design (such as foundation type, size, recommended CBR values etc.) is preliminary information that is developed and based mainly on geotechnical data to aid the project design engineer. This report is not prepared for potential construction contractor(s) since on-site testing was only performed at limited locations for preliminary site study purpose. Project design engineers should conduct additional analysis to finalize their design. The overall subsurface conditions may differ slightly from those inferred on the basis of drilling and sampling. The subsurface conditions described are based on an examination of the soil or rock samples obtained at the sampling intervals. The soil deposits or rock formations, including fill material, may vary between the sampling intervals and between the test boring locations. Variation in subsurface conditions from those indicated in this report may become apparent during the earthwork and/or installation of the foundations. Such variations may require
changes and/or modifications in our recommendations. Such changes may cause time delays and/or additional costs. Owners must be made aware of these limitations and must incorporate them in the design budget and scheduling of the project. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the project owner, Cleveland Port Authority, and the project design engineer, C&S Engineers, Inc. for the specific application to the proposed Short Term Parking Garage Expansion in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio.

John Xu J&L Laboratories, Inc. 215 Rainbow St. Wadsworth, OH 44281 RE: Report of Downhole Seismic Testing for the Proposed Cleveland Hopkins International Airport Short Term Parking Garage Expansion Project Located at Terminal Drive and Park Road in Cleveland, Ohio; GEI Project No. 01-30046
Dear John: Grumman Exploration, Inc. has completed the downhole seismic testing at the above referenced project site located at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. This letter-report summarizes the field procedures used and results of the tests performed at this site. The attached spreadsheets and plots summarize the estimated seismic velocities and derived parameters for the borehole tested. Project Description J&L Laboratories, Inc. is engaged in geotechnical investigations at the Proposed Cleveland Hopkins International Airport Short Term Garage Expansion project site. Downhole seismic testing of a single borehole was requested to assist in the evaluation and design of structures proposed for this project. Among the requirements and assumptions of the downhole testing procedure are: homogeneous isotropic subsurface materials, consistent annular space material, filling and diameter, and minimal ambient noise. The test borehole, B-2, is located in a grassy parkway area near the southeast corner of the existing short term parking garage complex. Field Procedures Grumman Exploration, Inc. conducted downhole seismic tests on borehole B-2 (renamed B2) on July 9, 2010 as specified by J&L Laboratories, Inc. The borehole was lined with approximately 99.5-ft of 2" diameter PVC casing and was grouted in-place using a cement bentonite grout.
Report of Downhole Seismic Testing Proposed Cleveland Hopkins International Airport Short Term Garage Expansion Terminal Drive and Park Road, Cleveland, Ohio J&L Laboratories, Inc. July 15, 2010 Page 2
The following field equipment and procedures were used to conduct the tests: Geometrics, Inc. SmartSeis S-12, 12 channel, digital signal enhancement seismograph, Two (2) triaxial downhole geophones, 5-ft geophone separations with mechanical sidewall clamping mechanisms, and Sledge hammer source, steel plate and weighted wood plank.
Tests were performed at 5-ft intervals using a 5-ft geophone separation. The seismograph sampling rate was 62.5 microseconds (0.063 milli-seconds) with a total sweep time of 128 milliseconds; This resulted in a total of 2048 samples per channel for each test. The test preparation procedures consisted of lowering the geophones to the desired test depth. Three tests were performed at each test interval using multiple impacts from a sledgehammer striking a steel plate. The plate was struck from three positions on the plank: top (P-wave) and opposite sides (S wave, opposing polarities). The impacts from opposite sides of the plank were used to help identify the onset of the shear wave by observing the reversal in wave polarity. Between 1 and 3 impacts were stacked to help enhance the compressional (P) and shear (S) wave signatures and cancel spurious noise effects. A 4WD vehicle was used to weight the plank. The data were observed and recorded in the field during acquisition and later returned to the offices of Grumman Exploration, Inc. for further review and analysis. The analysis consisted of estimating the earliest onset of the P-wave and S wave for each depth level tested. The compressional and shear-wave arrivals were estimated using the results from the string of three geophones at each test depth. A computer program developed by Grumman Exploration, Inc. was used to extract, compare and display the P and S-wave traces for the geophones used for each test interval. Using the arrival time estimates, P and S wave velocities were calculated for each depth interval. The velocity calculation was based on the difference in arrival times and straightline travel distances to each geophone using the in-hole depth to each geophone and the ground-level offset distance of the seismic impulse. Apparently erroneous or unrealistically high or low velocity estimates were eliminated from the data summary tables. Because three geophones were used for each test, multiple velocity estimates were available for some of the geophone positions. Downhole Seismic Testing Results The attached spreadsheets summarize the downhole seismic testing results for the test borehole B-2 at the proposed Short Term Garage Expansion site located at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in Cleveland, Ohio. The spreadsheet includes a summary of Grumman Exploration, Inc.

The estimated shear-wave velocities (Vs) from the ground surface to a depth of approximately 10-ft are low and may reflect a zone of poorly consolidated shallow fill. From approximately 25-ft to 70-ft, Vs is estimated in a fairly narrow range of 1200 fps up to 1400 fps, with occasional Vs estimates slightly higher or lower. A stratum of higher Vs is observed between approximately 70-ft and 85-ft, while Vs returns to a levels close to 1200 fps from 85-ft to the end of the boring. The Vs waveforms were reasonably well developed throughout the test hole making the shear wave velocity estimates more reliable. The compressional wave velocity (Vp) estimates were consistently in the 7000 fps to 9000 fps range over most of the test hole, with a few locations exhibiting higher or lower Vp values. Note that for saturated materials, Vp cannot be lower than ~ 4,900 fps, which is the approximate acoustic wave velocity of fresh water. The P-waveforms were less well developed throughout most of test borehole compared to the S-waveforms. This in turn Grumman Exploration, Inc.

July 15, 2010 Page 4 makes the Vp estimates less relaiable, although a range of 7000 to 9000 fps is consistent for some of the denser, more consolidated materials noted in the boring log. Bias in the arrival time picks and consequently the velocity estimates could result from one or more possible circumstances including: difficulty in estimating the S and P wave arrival times, irregular or incomplete borehole annular space filling, refraction or multi-pathing effects (non-straight line or multiple travel paths), limitations on the resolution of the digitized signal, and the presence of interfering noise and other wavetrains. These results should be reviewed by the geotechnical or structural engineer or consultant that will be performing the foundation and structural design analysis for this site. General Qualifications The downhole seismic data presented herein represent estimates of subsurface properties in the immediate vicinity of the boreholes tested using the measurement procedures described above. No warranty, certification, or statement of fact, either expressed or implied, regarding actual subsurface properties surrounding the borehole tested is contained herein. If questions or uncertainties exist regarding the actual parameter values, supplemental insitu or laboratory tests or other invasive explorations should be conducted to document actual subsurface material properties. No inference of subsurface properties can be made for depth intervals not tested. Grumman Exploration, Inc. has appreciated this opportunity to be of service to J&L Laboratories, Inc. If you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please feel free to contact us. Sincerely, Grumman Exploration, Inc.

NOTE: This boring was drilled for Seismic testing purpose. 2" ID Schedule 40 PVC casing was installed in the borehole after completion of drilling. Grouting and casing installation were done according to ASTM D7400 Specification - Downhole Seismic Testing. Water was filled in the casing immediately after casing installation to counterbalance buoyancy. Water was bailed out after the casing was set in the following day.
