SUMMARY

A preliminary geotechnical investigation has been performed for the proposed certified site which consists of Lots 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Discovery Ridge Research Park in southeastern Columbia, Missouri. Nine (9) borings, designated B-I through B-9, were performed to depths of approximately 13 to 20 feet below the existing ground surface at the subject site.

Based on the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, the site can be developed for future construction. The following geotechnical considerations were identified:

Typical lightly loaded commercial buildings may be supported on shallow footings bearing on stiff to very stiff native clay or on compacted structural fill.

Assuming proper site preparation and any necessary subgrade repair, total and differential settlement should be within anticipated client/owner specifications.

- Existing fill was encountered in Borings B-3 and B-4, however we understand that this material was placed as part of mass grading during mid to late 2008. At that time, Terracon was onsite to observe and test the density and moisture during placement of engineered fill material.

Based on the USGS map, it appears that a pond may have been located in the vicinity of lot 16 and that the existing pond located north of the Radii Facility previously extended west onto a portion of Lot 2. We recommend these areas be thoroughly investigated during the final geotechnical investigation for each respective lot.

The near-surface soils are active and prone to volume change with variations in moisture content. For this reason, a low volume change zone (LVC) is typically constructed beneath at-grade, grade-supported floor slabs. Depending on final grading plans, construction of the LVC may require overexcavation within future building pads.

On-site soils appear suitable for use as compacted structural fill; however, if they do not meet the low plasticity fill criteria, they should not be utilized for LVC material.

The 2006/2009 International Building Code (IBC), Table 1613.5.2 seismic site classification for this site is C

The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale for seismic events for Boone County is VII.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

A preliminary geotechnical engineering report has been completed for the proposed certified which consists of Lots 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,114, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of Discovery Ridge Research Park in Columbia, Missouri. Nine (9) borings, designated B-I through B-9, were performed to depths of approximately 13 to 20 feet below the existing ground surface at the subject site. Logs of the borings along with a site location map, USGS map, geologic map and boring location diagram are included in Appendix A of this report.

The purpose of these services is to provide information and preliminary geotechnical engineering recommendations relative to:

subsurface soil conditions [] foundation design and construction

groundwater conditions u floor slab design and construction

Terracon Project No. 09105094.1.1 ITEM DESCRIPTION Site grading information was not available at the time that this report was prepared. However for the purpose and scope of this report, we have assumed that local cuts and/or fills required for Grading development will be limited to approximately 10 feet.

Additionally, we understand that mass grading was performed in mid to late 2008 in the vicinity of the existing Radii Facility and ABC Laboratories building. At that time, Terracon was onsite to observe and test the placement of engineered fill material.

Cut and fill slopes No steeper than 3H:IV (Horizontal to Vertical) (assumed) 2.2 Site Location and Description iITEM DESCRIPTION The proposed project site consists of Lots 2, 5, 6, 7 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Location 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of Discovery Ridge Research Park in Columbia, Missouri.

The lots are vacant with the exception. of Lot 5 which is developed Exisingimprvemntswith a storage building.

Generally grass covered, however portions of the site in the vicinity Curret grund overof Lot 16 were cultivated fields.

In general, slightly to moderately sloped downward towards the Existing topography south and west.

3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 3.1 Geology Most of the upland area is covered by a thin loess blanket and glacial drift. Highly plastic clays that exhibit volume change with variations in moisture are commonly encountered near the ground surface.

Based on the 2003 Geologic Map of Missouri, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, bedrock at this site consists primarily of the Pennsylvanian aged Cherokee Group (Pc), the Pennsylvanian aged Marmaton Group (Pmo), and the Mississippian aged Burlington formation (Mo). The Cherokee Group is predominantly shale with minor amounts of carbonates and sandstone. This group contains most of the mineable coal beds in Missouri. The Marmaton Group consists of a succession of shale, limestone, clay, and coal beds.

Terracon Project No. 09105094.1.1 The Burlington formation is characteristically a white to gray, medium to coarsely crystalline, medium to coarsely crinoidal, chert free to sparsely cherty limestone. Solution features, including caves and sinkholes, are commonly present in this formation. No caves or sinkholes are known to exist, or are published to exist, within approximately 1 mile of this project site.

However several areas of known karst activity are present west and southwest of the project site.

It is difficult to predict future sinkhole activity. Sinkholes and caves in this area are in various stages of development and can appear at any time. Site grading and drainage may alter site conditions and could possibly cause sinkholes in areas that have no history of this activity.

Stratification boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil types; in situ, the transition between materials may be gradual. Details for each of the borings can be found on the boring logs in Appendix A of this report.

3.3 Groundwater The boreholes were observed while drilling and after completion for the presence and level of groundwater. Groundwater was observed at in Borings B-5 and B-6 at depths of approximately 12 to 18.5 feet. Groundwater was not observed in the remaining borings during drilling or for the short amount of time the borings were allowed to remain open following drilling completion.

However, this does not necessarily mean that stable groundwater levels were observed in Borings B-5 and B-6, or that the remaining borings were terminated above groundwater.

Due to the low permeability of the soils encountered in the borings, a relatively long period of time may be necessary for a groundwater level to develop and stabilize in a borehole in these materials.

Long term observations in piezometers or observation wells sealed from the influence of surface water are often required to define groundwater levels in materials of this type.

Pockets, lenses, and stringers of sand are sometimes encountered in the glacial soils found in the vicinity of the referenced project. These sand pockets are normally discontinuous and often contain water of variable quality and quantity. These sand pockets may be encountered during foundation excavation. This possibility should be considered when developing design and construction plans and specifications for the project.

Groundwater level fluctuations occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, proximity to existing ponds, and other factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. In addition, perched water can develop over low permeability soil strata. Therefore, groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the life of the structure may be higher or lower than the levels indicated on the boring logs. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.

Existing fill was encountered in Borings B-3 and B-4 to depths of 3 to 12 feet, and limestone bedrock was encountered in Borings B-6 and B-7 at depths of approximately 17 and 12.5 feet, respectively. Depending on final site grading plans, we anticipate that either the native clay or compacted structural fill will form the subgrade for future building foundations and floor slabs.

Based on the USGS map, it appears that a pond may have been located in the vicinity of lot 16.

Further, based on aerial photography the existing pond located north of the Radii Facility previously extended southwest onto a portion of Lot 2. We recommend these areas be thoroughly investigated during the final geotechnical investigation for each respective lot.

Performance of foundations depends on many factors including, but not limited to, the depth of footings, amounts of cuts or fill, bearing material, and foundation loads. Structural loads, final grades, and other design' details should be provided when available. Although this report discusses design parameters, these parameters are preliminary. This preliminary report is not intended to be relied upon for final design. We recommend a more detailed study be performed when specific project details are known, and/or possibly following completion of general site grading.

Examination of the boring logs indicates a range of soil-moisture conditions are present at this site. At the time of drilling, some of the soils at various depths are at moisture levels above their measured plastic limit. Typically, soil with moisture levels above their measured plastic limit may be prone to rutting, pumping, and can develop into unstable subgrade conditions during general construction operations.

Moderately to highly plastic, lean to fat clay and fat clay soils were present on site. Such soils are commonly referred to as "expansive"~ or "swelling" soils because they expand or swell as their moisture contents increase. However, these soils also "contract" or "shrink" as their moisture levels decrease. Footings, floor slabs, and pavements supported on expansive soils will move upward and downward and such movements will result in distortion, possibly causing cracking or structural damage to structures. For this reason, a low volume change zone will likely be required beneath at-grade floor slabs. We recommend that additional laboratory testing be performed during the final geotechnical exploration to better evaluate the expansive nature of these soils.

Terracon Project No. 09105094.1.1 We recommend that the exposed subgrade be thoroughly evaluated after stripping of any topsoil and creation of all cut areas, but prior to the start of any fill operations. We recommend that the geotechnical engineer be retained to evaluate the bearing material for the foundations and floor slab subgrade soils. Subsurface conditions, as identified by the field and laboratory testing programs, have been reviewed and evaluated with respect to the proposed development plans known to us at this time.

4.2 Earthwork The widely spaced preliminary borings typically encountered stiff to hard lean to fat clay and fat clay. Shallow bedrock, karst features, or extensive pervious deposits of water-bearing sand that could impact site development did not appear to be present based on the preliminary site and subsurface information gathered at this time.

Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the widely spaced borings, the site soils are suitable for future development. Additional borings should be completed so that each site can be adequately characterized and recommendations can be more fully developed to assist and guide future mass grading.

Recommendations will need to be developed for site preparation and proof-rolling operations as well as construction of cut and structural fill operations. In our opinion, full-time testing and observation should be employed during mass grading to evaluate compliance with project earthwork recommendations and requirements. If site grading results in relatively thick structural fills, settlement and cut/fill slope stability may need to be evaluated.

4.3 Foundations Shallow foundations could be used to support lightly loaded commercial structures provided the footings are supported by suitable material (stiff to hard native clay or compacted structural fill).

Depending on the design footing elevation and bearing material (native clay or newly placed compacted structural fill), allowable bearing pressures would likely be in the range of 1,000 psf to 3,000 psf. Due to the presence of clay soils, shallow foundations are typically soil-formed in the general vicinity of this site. Further testing at the individual structure locations should be performed to determine the appropriate bearing capacity for structural support.

Heavier loads, which could cause excessive settlement, are normally supported by shallow foundations which are supported, in turn, by aggregate-pier intermediate foundations or by drilled piers. Pier drilling through the native soils is not expected to become difficult based upon the material encountered within the borings; however, the drilled pier contractor should be prepared should sandy zones or large boulders be encountered.

2. The 2006/2009 International Building Code requires a site soil profile determination extending a depth of 100 feet for seismic site classification. The current scope requested does not include the required 100 foot soil profile determination. Borings for this report extended to a maximum depth of approximately 20 feet and this seismic site class assignment considers that shale or limestone bedrock is present within approximately 30 feet of the ground surface and continues below the maximum depth of the subsurface exploration. Additional exploration to greater depths could be considered to confirm the conditions below the current depth of exploration. Alternatively, a geophysical exploration could be utilized in order to attempt to justify a more favorable seismic site class.

Columbia, Missouri "I~rre ra:o mr February 17, 2011 u Terracon Project No. 09105094.1.1 4.5 Floor Slabs Many of the clay soils in this locale have the potential to increase or decrease in volume with variations in moisture content. Soil having high plasticity characteristics (i.e., fat clay) generally has a greater potential for moisture related volume change than less plastic materials such as lean clay. In addition, swell potential is generally greater in material with a high dry unit weight and low initial moisture content. However, even low plasticity soils can swell significantly if their moisture levels are initially low.

Because of the moderate to high shrink-swell potential of the lean to fat clay and fat clay soil encountered in the borings, a low volume change layer will likely be required below at-grade floor slabs. This layer typically varies from 12 to 36 inches in thickness. The on-site lean to fat clay and fat clay soils encountered in the borings performed for this report are typically not suitable for use as low volume change material; however, on-site materials may exist which would meet the low volume change material criteria. Further testing at the individual structure locations should be performed to determine the required low volume change layer thickness.

4.6 Pavements On most project sites, the site grading is accomplished relatively early in the construction phase.

Fills are placed and compacted in a uniform manner. However, as construction proceeds, excavations are made into these areas, rainfall and surface water saturates some areas, heavy traffic from concrete trucks and other delivery vehicles disturbs the subgrade and many surface irregularities are filled in with loose soils to improve trafficability temporarily. As a result, the pavement subgrades, initially prepared early in the project, should be carefully evaluated as the time for pavement construction approaches.

Pavement thickness can be determined using AASHTO, Asphalt Institute and/or other methods if specific wheel loads, axle configurations, frequencies, and desired pavement life are provided.

Pavement design methods are intended to provide structural sections with adequate thickness over a particular subgrade such that wheel loads are reduced to a level the subgrade can support.

The support characteristics of the subgrade for pavement design do not account for shrink/swell movements of an expansive clay subgrade such as the soils encountered on this project. Thus, the pavement may be adequate from a structural standpoint, yet still experience cracking and deformation due to shrink/swell related movement of the subgrade.

Expansive soils are present at this site. It is important to minimize moisture changes in the subgrade both during construction and during the life of the pavement to reduce shrink/swell movements.

Preliminary Geotechnical Discovery Ridge - Certified Engineering Site Program Report 1r ra a Lots 2, 5,6, 7, 8,9,10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.* Columbia, Missouri February 17, 2011 . Terracon Project No. 09105094.1.1 Field Exploration Description The proposed boring locations were laid out in the field by a Terracon engineer using a scaled site plan provided by the client and measuring from existing site features. The ground surface elevations at the boring locations were interpolated from a topographic map provided by the client. The elevations included on the boring logs are approximate and have been rounded to the nearest 5-foot. The locations and elevations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the means and methods used to define them.

The borings were drilled with an ATV-mounted rotary drill rig using continuous flight solid-stem augers to advance the boreholes. Samples of the soil encountered in the borings were obtained using the split-barrel and thin-walled tube sampling procedures.

In the split-barrel sampling procedure, the number of blows required to advance a standard 2-inch O.D. split-barrel sampler the last 12 inches of the typical total 18-inch penetration by means of a 140-pound hammer with a free fall of 30 inches, is the standard penetration resistance value (SPT-N). This value is used to estimate the in-situ relative density of cohesionless soils and consistency of cohesive soils.

A CME automatic SPT hammer was used to advance the split-barrel sampler in the borings performed on this site. A significantly greater efficiency is achieved with the automatic hammer compared to the conventional safety hammer operated with a cathead and rope. This higher efficiency has an appreciable effect on the SPT-N value. The effect of the automatic hammer's efficiency has been considered in the interpretation and analysis of the subsurface information for this report.

In the thin-walled tube sampling procedure, a thin-walled, seamless steel tube with a sharp cutting edge is pushed hydraulically in to the soil to obtain a relatively undisturbed sample. The samples were tagged for identification, sealed to reduce moisture loss, and taken to our laboratory for further examination, testing, and classification. Information provided on the boring logs attached to this report includes soil descriptions, consistency evaluations, boring depths, sampling intervals, and groundwater conditions. The borings were backfilled with auger cuttings prior to the drill crew leaving the site.

A field log of each boring was prepared by the drill crew. These logs included visual classifications of the materials encountered during drilling as well as the driller's interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. Final boring logs included with this report represent the engineer's interpretation of the field logs and include modifications based on laboratory observation and tests of the samples.

Unconfined compression tests were performed on selected samples and a calibrated hand penetrometer was used to estimate the approximate unconfined compressive strength of some samples. The calibrated hand penetrometer has been correlated with unconfined compression tests and provides a better estimate of soil consistency than visual examination alone. The test results are provided on the boring logs included in Appendix A.

Descriptive classifications of the soils indicated on the boring logs are in accordance with the enclosed General Notes and the Unified Soil Classification System. Also shown are estimated Unified Soil Classification Symbols. A brief description of this classification system is attached to this report. All classification was by visual manual procedures. Selected samples were further classified using the results of Atterberg limit testing. The Atterberg limit test results are also provided on the boring logs.

In low permeability soils, the accurate determination of groundwater levels may not be possible with only short-term observations.

DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION: Soil classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as dlays if they are plastic, and silts ifthey are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are defined on the basis of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.

SUMMARY

A preliminary geotechnical investigation has been performed for the proposed certified site which consists of Lots 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Discovery Ridge Research Park in southeastern Columbia, Missouri. Nine (9) borings, designated B-I through B-9, were performed to depths of approximately 13 to 20 feet below the existing ground surface at the subject site.

Based on the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, the site can be developed for future construction. The following geotechnical considerations were identified:

Typical lightly loaded commercial buildings may be supported on shallow footings bearing on stiff to very stiff native clay or on compacted structural fill.

Assuming proper site preparation and any necessary subgrade repair, total and differential settlement should be within anticipated client/owner specifications.

- Existing fill was encountered in Borings B-3 and B-4, however we understand that this material was placed as part of mass grading during mid to late 2008. At that time, Terracon was onsite to observe and test the density and moisture during placement of engineered fill material.

Based on the USGS map, it appears that a pond may have been located in the vicinity of lot 16 and that the existing pond located north of the Radii Facility previously extended west onto a portion of Lot 2. We recommend these areas be thoroughly investigated during the final geotechnical investigation for each respective lot.

The near-surface soils are active and prone to volume change with variations in moisture content. For this reason, a low volume change zone (LVC) is typically constructed beneath at-grade, grade-supported floor slabs. Depending on final grading plans, construction of the LVC may require overexcavation within future building pads.

On-site soils appear suitable for use as compacted structural fill; however, if they do not meet the low plasticity fill criteria, they should not be utilized for LVC material.

The 2006/2009 International Building Code (IBC), Table 1613.5.2 seismic site classification for this site is C

The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale for seismic events for Boone County is VII.
