Gordon Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. conducted a geotechnical study for the proposed Millville Kennel at 4200 South 600 East, Millville, Utah. The study aimed to define subsurface soil and groundwater conditions and provide recommendations for foundations, earthwork, geoseismic considerations, and pavement design for the 6,000-square-foot, single-level kennel. Investigations included excavating two test pits to depths of 7.5 to 10.5 feet and laboratory testing of soil samples. The site consists primarily of medium-dense gravel with sand and silt, and no groundwater was encountered within the explored depths. Key recommendations include removing loose surficial soils and non-engineered fills, proper site preparation, and specific guidelines for structural fill placement and compaction. Foundations should be conventional shallow spread and wall foundations on suitable natural soils or structural fills, with design parameters provided for embedment depths and bearing pressures. Pavement sections for parking and roadways are specified for both flexible and rigid options, with considerations for subgrade preparation. The geoseismic assessment recommends Site Class D—Stiff Soil Profile and provides spectral acceleration values. Liquefaction potential is deemed very low due to the absence of shallow groundwater.
