AI Summary
This geotechnical report by DOWL for the National Park Service outlines recommendations for replacing utility systems in Glacier National Park (GLAC-318705). The project encompasses seven sites: Many Glacier Hotel, Two Medicine, St. Mary, Lake McDonald, Logan Pass, and Granite Park Chalet. Fieldwork included geotechnical drilling at Many Glacier, Two Medicine, St. Mary, and Lake McDonald, and geophysical surveys at Logan Pass and Granite Park. Key findings indicate a minimal topsoil layer, underlain by glacial till and bedrock. Spread footing foundations are suitable for new structures, and a pavement section of four inches of asphalt over six inches of crushed aggregate is recommended. Excavating utility trenches should be feasible, though shallow bedrock at Many Glacier may require jackhammering or blasting. On-site native soils are suitable for engineered fill if rocks over six inches are removed or crushed. Groundwater was encountered at Two Medicine and Lake McDonald, and the potential for liquefaction is low.
