RE: Cornell University Meinig Fieldhouse Indoor Sports and Recreation Center Project –
Sketch Plan Review, Consider concurrence with City of Ithaca Planning and
Development Board Lead Agency declaration
Enclosed please find application materials pertaining to the proposed Cornell University Meinig
Fieldhouse Indoor Sports and Recreation Center project, located on the Cornell Campus, on Tower
Road in the Town of Ithaca and City of Ithaca. The project involves replacing the Robison Alumni
Fields with a 90,000+/- square foot, 56-foot-tall indoor fieldhouse building and a new synthetic turf
outdoor field hockey field, along with new sidewalks and pedestrian connections, stormwater
facilities, landscaping, lighting, and other site improvements. The proposed facility will enable year-
round practice space and play for many field sports, and limited competition for NCAA lacrosse in
early spring months.
The Meinig Fieldhouse Indoor Sports and Recreation Center project will require special permit and
site plan approval from the Town of Ithaca Planning Board, area variances from the Town of Ithaca
Zoning Board of Appeals, and approvals by the City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board.
The proposed project is a Type I Action, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality
Review Act (6 NYCRR Part 617). As such, the project requires the completion of a Full Environmental
Assessment Form and a coordinated review amongst the agencies that have discretionary decision
authority to approve certain aspects of the project.
The City Planning and Development Board has declared their intent to be the Lead Agency in the
environmental review of the project. The attachments include a letter from the city officially notifying
the town of this intent and requesting concurrence from the Town of Ithaca Planning Board.
Also enclosed is a draft resolution for the Planning Board to consider concurring with the City
Planning and Development Board’s (PDB) intent to serve as Lead Agency. Assuming concurrence by
all involved agencies, the City’s PDB is anticipated to make a formal declaration of Lead Agency on
January 23, 2024. This will give involved agencies like the Town Planning and Zoning Boards 30 days
to provide comments, concerns, and recommendations related to the SEQR Full EAF and its contents.
The purpose of the January 16th meeting is for the Planning Board to discuss concurrence with the
City of Ithaca being the Lead Agency in the environmental review of the project. Representatives
from the applicant team be present to introduce the project and explain the attachments.
2
The Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals will discuss the SEQR Full EAF at a future meeting
(within 30 days of the City PDB declaration of Lead Agency); and staff will follow up with a letter to
the City PDB that contains any town concerns, comments, and recommendations.
Please feel free to contact me by phone at (607) 273-1721 or by email at
cbalestra@town.ithaca.ny.us if you have questions before the meeting.

Project Narrative
Project Summary
Cornell University is proposing to construct the Meinig Fieldhouse, an indoor sports and recreation center that will support
students and campus with much-needed indoor practice and competition space for athletics, club sports, and recreation needs.
The project site is on Central Campus, in the area currently occupied by Robison Alumni Fields, with Tower Road to the north,
the Robert J. Kane Sports Complex Field to the east, Bartels Hall/Newman Arena to the south, and Weill Hall to the west. The
proposed facility will enable year-round practice and play space for athletes as well as limited competition venue for NCAA
lacrosse players, with a 90,000 square foot building at 56 feet tall.
A new field hockey pitch will provide Cornell’s field hockey athletes a much-needed updated synthetic turf field located to the
west of the Meinig Fieldhouse.
Project Purpose, Need, and Benefit
The new Meinig Fieldhouse on central campus will support student physical and mental health by providing access to recreation,
physical education, club team, and intercollegiate activities throughout the year. There is currently not enough field space across
campus to accommodate the demand. Student access to recreation is further limited by inclement weather and the northeast
winter conditions in effect for much of the academic year. Many other Ivy League institutions have indoor venues, and this project
will allow for better recruitment and training opportunities for student athletes.
Location
The new Meinig Fieldhouse will be located on Cornell University’s Ithaca campus, predominantly in the City of Ithaca (about
83%) and partially in the Town of Ithaca (about 17%) on a site that is currently an outdoor field complex composed of natural
grass and artificial turf fields, sidewalks, spectator viewing areas, and parking lots. It is accessed from the north via Tower Road
and the south via Campus Road.
The site of the proposed building is primarily located within the City of Ithaca on a portion of tax parcel 31.-1-1.2, which is
approximately 154 acres in size per the County Assessment tax map. It is also partially located within the Town of Ithaca on a
portion of tax parcel No 67.-1-13.2, which is approximately 31 acres in size, per the County Assessment tax map. The limit of
disturbance for the project will be approximately 7 acres in total, with 5.8 acres in the City and 1.2 acres in the Town.
Setting
The project site is situated in an area that includes Kane Sports Complex (track) to the east, Friedman Wrestling Center to the
southeast, Bartels Hall to the south, and Lynah Rink to the southwest, and Weill Hall to the west. Across Tower Road to the north,
there is Bradfield Hall, Fernow Hall, Rice Hall, Minns Garden, Bailey Conservatory, and greenhouses.

Zoning
The Meinig Fieldhouse will be located mostly within the City of Ithaca U-1 (University) Zoning District and partially within the
Town of Ithaca LDR (Low Density Residential) Zoning District.
City of Ithaca: U1-Zone
The project is an allowed use within the City’s University Zone and meets all the regulations of the U-1 Zone.
Within the City’s U-1 zone, there are no requirements related to off-street loading, minimum lot size or lot width
at the street line. Cornell manages all parking as a campus-wide district and will continue to be in compliance
with requirements for the U-1 zoning including the development of this project. There are also no yard dimension
requirements in the code that are applicable to the project. Relative to building height, there are no limits to the number
of stories, and building height is generally limited to 175 feet. The proposed building will be shorter than this limit, with
the peak of the sports complex roof at approximately 56 feet from average grade.
The portion of the project site in the City is located on tax parcel 31.-1-1.2, which captures most of central campus,
approximately 80 buildings, and is 154 acres in total size. In this zone, 35% lot coverage is permitted, allowing for 53.9
acres of development. Existing structures on this parcel cover 31.63 acres. This project will add approximately 1.6 acres
of building footprint on the City of Ithaca parcel (out of a total building footprint of approximately 2.1 acres), making the
total lot coverage on the City of Ithaca parcel approximately 33.23 acres— well within the total lot coverage allowance.
The project will also include an additional 72,000 SF reconstruction of the outdoor synthetic turf athletic field.
Town of Ithaca: Low Density Residential (LDR)
The project is an allowed use with a special use permit in the LDR zone as part of an institution of higher learning.
Within the LDR zone, there are no requirements related to off-street loading. Cornell manages all parking as a
campus-wide district and will continue to be in compliance with its Traffic Demand Management Plan including the
development of this project. Pursuant to Town Code §270- 63, the yard requirements for this lot apply only towards the
exterior public street frontages, and the distance from the Fieldhouse and Tower Road and Campus Road comply with
the Code’s requirements. Front yard requirements state that the yard shall not be less than 30 feet and no greater than
60 feet, and not less than the average depth of the front yards of adjacent buildings. The rear yard must not be less than
50 feet in depth, and side yards must not be less than 40 feet in width. Building height is generally limited to 38 feet
below interior grade or 36 feet below exterior grade (whichever is lower). The proposed building will be taller than this
limit, with the peak of the sports complex roof at approximately 56 feet from average grade. Therefore, the project will
require an area variance from the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals.
The portion of the project site in the Town is located on tax parcel 67.-1-13.2, which includes athletic facilities and land
south of the Cornell Botanic Gardens, including approximately eight buildings and is 31 acres in total size. Minimum
lot size in this zone is 30,000 square feet, and minimum lot width is 100 feet at the street line, which are met by the
dimensions of the tax parcel. In this zone, 10% lot coverage is permitted, allowing for 3.1 acres of development.
Existing structures on this parcel already exceed this limit, totaling 3.12 acres.
This project will add approximately 0.5 acres of building footprint on the Town of Ithaca parcel (total building footprint
of approximately 2.1 acres) and will require an area variance for lot coverage from the Town’s Zoning Board of Appeals.
Gorge Protection Zone & Unique Natural Area
The project is well outside of designated natural areas, including the City’s Gorge Protection Area (GP-A) near
Cascadilla Creek; the GP-A limit is along the south edge of Hoy Road, southwest of the project. The project is fully
outside the Cascadilla Unique Natural Area. The limit for this UNA is south of Campus Road, across the street from the
project. The project is also fully outside the Beebe Lake Woods and Gorge Unique Natural Area, which is located to the
north.
Project Narrative
16
Tompkins County GML 239 Review
The proposed project will require 239 Review based on geographic location triggers for being within 500
feet of the boundary of any city, village or town.
Building Program
The new building will be a campus hub for varsity, club and intramural practices and a limited number of lacrosse
competitions. The overall dimensions and height of the field house are sized to accommodate a field that will be
programmed to support NCAA requirements for both women’s and men’s varsity lacrosse competition; a varsity soccer
pitch and/or varsity football field for practices; and the facility will host campus recreation, club and intramural sport
teams. A synthetic turf field with rubber/sand infill occupies most of the ground floor usable space of the proposed
building. Also, on the ground floor is a mechanical room, restrooms, a training room, and storage. There is a second-
level mezzanine on the south side of the field, along with two team rooms, restrooms, an area for elevated filming and
mechanical spaces. This area will be accessible by both stairs and elevator. Space along the south wall of the proposed
building will provide an area for a limited number of spectators on both the field-level and the mezzanine level.
Architectural Design
The Meinig Fieldhouse will be an inviting athletic venue designed to embrace the spirit of outdoor play indoors. The
flexible open fieldhouse space will be able to accommodate all types of team sports and individual fitness routines. The
Meinig Fieldhouse is designed with a clean architectural aesthetic. A few folded façade moments provide clarity to the
building entries, while glazing on the corners open an opaque façade, allowing inviting glimpses into the activity space
from all approach directions.
The architectural composition is expressed through a clean palette of materials including metal panel and strategically
placed storefront glazing. The majority of the building envelope is composed of insulated metal panel installed
horizontally and decreasing in width from the bottom of the facade to the top. The metal panel finish is paired in
contrast with angled glazed storefront at each of the four corners. The large triangle shaped glazed openings provide
views in and out of the facility and incorporate natural light into the activity space.
The entire facility sits on a 16” brick curb that visually lifts the volume and provides a durable yet attractive base for
protection from day-to-day maintenance operations and a clean edge for adjacent plantings and landscape.
The interior field house walls consist of metal panels and exposed super structure with metal decking above.
The building support bar is primarily painted gypsum wall board while the flooring materials consist of a mix of
functional and performance-based materials including polished concrete at the entries, rubberized flooring at the team
rooms and artificial infill turf at the field house activity space.

Site Development
Fire/Emergency Access
The project site will be accessible to fire and emergency vehicles from four points. Two 20-feet wide angled curbs
are proposed to the north of the Meinig Fieldhouse structure from the Alumni Field parking lot, and two 20-feet wide
flush curbs are proposed to the south of the structure, from the parking area adjacent to the Friedman Wrestling Center.
A continuous pathway of minimum 20 feet width is proposed around the entire perimeter of the Meinig Fieldhouse
structure, allowing access for fire apparatus. The pathway along the north side of the Meinig Fieldhouse structure is
proposed to be 26 feet wide, offset from the building facade between 15 feet and 30 feet to accommodate fire apparatus
aerial access. The northernmost lane of the existing parking area adjacent to the Friedman Wrestling Center (20 feet
minimum width) will serve fire apparatus access along a portion of the southern access route. A paved point of access
at the northeast corner of the exterior turf field will provide access onto the playing surface for emergency vehicles.
The Fire Apparatus Access Routes sheet and Vehicle Tracking diagrams are provided in the technical drawing set under
separate cover.
Service Access and Snow Storage
Service will be provided to the proposed Meinig Fieldhouse via a 10-feet wide roll-up door located on the east
elevation of the structure. Service vehicles may utilize the path network established for fire apparatus and emergency
vehicles. Deliveries will be made via the lanes of the existing parking area adjacent to the Friedman Wrestling Center.
Areas within the site, adjacent to fire apparatus and emergency vehicle routes, have been identified for piling snow, as
part of snow clearing operations. The site design includes two dumpsters on a heavy-duty concrete pad. They will be
accessible via flush curb from the parking area adjacent to the Friedman Wrestling Center. These areas are diagrammed
below.
Snow removal and storage, dumpster locations
Project Narrative
22
Landscape
Natural landscape spaces around the building will include sod lawn, meadow grasses and perennials, a rain garden,
shrubs, and a mix of deciduous shade trees, evergreens, and flowering trees. A strong emphasis will be placed on using
native, non-invasive plant material. To the west of the Meinig Fieldhouse, a synthetic turf field of 72,000 square feet is
proposed in accordance with International Hockey Federation (FIH) guidelines. Appropriate drainage will be included.
Site Materials
All pedestrian walkways are proposed with a minimum six-foot width. Site paving will include asphalt and concrete
walkways. Other site hardscape items include precast concrete seat walls, and cast-in-place concrete stairs. Site
furnishings include bicycle racks, and recycling/trash receptacles. Railings and guardrails are proposed to be stainless
steel. Other site materials include a river stone drip edge along the outer perimeter of the building, stone dust
pathways, concrete retaining walls, and a black vinyl chain link fence with pedestrian and vehicular swing gates along
the hockey field perimeter.
Circulation
Sidewalks will connect the building and fields to the existing pedestrian network along Tower and Campus Road.
Parking
The Meinig Fieldhouse is well served by adjacent parking, both in the Alumni Lot (225 spaces) to the north and the
Bartels Lot to the south (80 parking spaces). As the new facility is expected to be primarily used for students for
practice, recreation, and club play very little parking is expected to be needed on a daily basis. For a limited number of
NCAA lacrosse games that may be held in the facility annually, games are scheduled on weekends or evenings when
adjacent parking lots are not utilized by campus faculty and staff and would be available to support parking for the
Meinig Fieldhouse.
Currently, three permanent ADA parking spaces are located in the Alumni Lot to the north and two are located to the
south in Bartels lot. Bartels Lot currently serves as a primary location for auxiliary ADA parking in the evenings (six
more spaces) to support athletics events: basketball in Newman Arena and hockey in Lynah Rink. Transportation and
Delivery Services is prepared to dedicate additional, full-time ADA spaces in the Bartels Lot to support the new Meinig
Fieldhouse, as required by code.
Cornell manages its entire campus parking system - located in both the City of Ithaca and Town of Ithaca- as a district
(approx. 11,000 parking spaces), in accordance with the City of Ithaca’s U1 zoning. Tower Road, to the north of the new
facility, is a complete street that includes full bike lanes and a number of bus stops for routes that offer both rural and
urban service. Campus Road, to the south, supports auxiliary parking for athletic events in the Crescent Lot and Hoy
Garage, which are walking distance from the new facility.
Bicycle parking is provided on site according to City of Ithaca standard regulations outlined in Chapter 276, “Site Plan
Review - Supplementary Bicycle Parking Standards”. 36 bicycle parking spaces will be provided on-site, separated
into three bicycle parking facilities, located adjacent to the main north and south entrances to the Meinig Fieldhouse.
Bicycle parking facilities will be easily accessible from pedestrian or fire access pathways and not intrude into these
walkways.
Project Narrative
23
Site Lighting
Site lighting within the project limit of work will be a combination of building-mounted and pedestrian pole-mounted
fixtures, which will be dark sky compliant. Site lighting levels will be designed for safety and security as well as
comfort for individuals using the exterior areas. The site design will utilize Cornell University standard poles and
fixtures. Lighting cut sheets are provided in the appendix.
Athletic field hockey light fixtures will be sharp cut off and have a color temperature of LED 5700 K – 75 CRI, per
NCAA requirements for play and recording. The 5700k color provides maximum white bright color similar to daylight
and is the industry standard for athletic field lighting.
Signage
Exterior signage will be in compliance with Cornell standards and will be compatible with nearby signage elements.
MEP Design
Mechanical Systems
Base load heating will be derived from a new 4,250 PPH steam-to-hot water heat exchanger located within
neighboring building Bartels Hall. A pair of new pumps located within Bartels Hall will distribute hot water. A
1,500 CFM air handling unit located above the support bar will provide ventilation air to the support spaces. A
ductless split heat pump system will be provided for heating and cooling of the training room and support spaces.
Occupiable zones will be provided with ventilation air via a small energy recovery ventilator. Hot water propeller unit
heaters will be provided in the mechanical room and cabinet unit heaters will be provided in entry vestibule and
lobby.
Project Narrative
24
The total area that is being heated is +/- 90,289 sf. This includes the first-floor field, north and south entries, and
mezzanine floor spaces. The area that is being cooled (air conditioned) is +/- 446 sf. This includes the taping room,
electrical, AV, and IDF closets.
Lighting and Lighting Control Systems
The design lighting power density is anticipated to be 20% less than the prescriptive code requirement for the
building type and will utilize all LED systems at both the interior and exterior of the building. In addition, daylight and
occupancy-based control systems will be utilized where required.
Domestic Water Systems
Domestic hot water will be provided to the building via a new domestic water service connection from the high-pressure
Cornell-owned water main located in Tower Road. Domestic hot water will be generated by a 50-gallon hybrid heat-
pump electric, tank-type water heater.
Energy
Renewable Energy
The electrical infrastructure design is being planned to accommodate a photovoltaic array on the southfacing slope
of the pitched roof. With an available area of 26,000 sq.ft., approximately 450 - 500 kW of array capacity could be
harnessed, with the potential to generate approximately 534,000 kWh annually, offsetting an additional 537,000 lb of
CO2 emissions per year.
Ithaca Energy Code Supplement
The Ithaca Energy Code Supplement establishes local energy code amendments with requirements above and beyond
the state energy code. The prescriptive requirements give priority to electrification, renewable energy, and affordability
and is the intended path for energy code compliance at this point in the design process. The Meinig Fieldhouse will
comply with the IECS.
Site Utilities
Existing Conditions
The existing electric service is fed from a transformer located on the south edge of the site. Field irrigation lines run
throughout the site and are fed from a pump system located on the southern end of the existing turf field. A major utility
corridor containing active steam and chilled water distribution piping runs north-south through the center of the existing
grass fields. These utilities are not expected to be impacted by the project.
Proposed Improvements
Sanitary sewage from the proposed building will be directed to a duplex grinder pump station and lifted to the
University owned gravity system along the south side of Bartels Hall. Domestic and fire water service will be provided
by a proposed 10-inch HDPE water main which will be connected to the University Zone 2 High Pressure system
along Tower Road. The main will extend along the east side of the site and a sports field watering system will be
connected. Backflow prevention devices will be used for the building and sports field watering system connections.
Telecommunication and electrical services to the building will be connected to the University’s existing networks along
the southern edge of the site.
Site Stormwater Management
Existing Conditions
The existing site is comprised of both grass and artificial turf athletic fields with accompanying impervious features
such as sidewalks and spectator viewing areas. Slopes across the athletic fields are minimal and on average do not

25
exceed 2%. Beginning at the western center edge of the turf field, a small uniform depression occurs and slopes
towards the site’s low point in the southwest corner. Underlying soil information is not available for the site but given
the level of prior development a hydrologic soil classification of C or D will be assumed until soil testing can be
performed. The site is located above the 100-year flood level according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) mapping.
Stormwater runoff from the site is collected via a system of underdrains which are connected to the larger University
owned stormwater collection system at the southern edge of the field. Located just upstream of the connection point is
an outlet control structure (OCS) which reduces discharge rates and effectively allows the field’s drainage system to be
used as stormwater detention practice.
Drainage for the grass athletic fields is provided by a system of underdrains and drainage inlets which are connected to
the University system in the southwest corner of the site. The stormwater management practice which services adjacent
Weill Hall is located underneath the grass athletic field in the southwest corner of the site.
Runoff from the entire site is conveyed through the University system and eventually outfalls into Cascadilla Creek west
of the Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory.
Proposed Improvements
Stormwater drainage improvements in support of the proposed building and artificial turf field will include a system of
drainage inlets, manholes, underdrains, roof leader connections, and swales. Drainage patterns will remain consistent
with the existing conditions to the maximum extent possible. The two existing points of stormwater discharge along
the southern edge of the site will be maintained. Discharge rates will be controlled in order to reduce or at a minimum
match existing rates. Permanent stormwater management practices will be used to meet stormwater regulations.
Total soil disturbance will be greater than one acre and therefore the project will be required to prepare a Full
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in compliance with the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation’s (NYSDEC) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity as well as the City and
Town of Ithaca’s stormwater regulations. The SWPPP will include requirements for temporary erosion control practices
to be installed and maintained during construction, and contain additional requirements for the construction, operation,
and maintenance of permanent practices to remain after construction is complete. Obtaining permit coverage for
stormwater discharges under the general permit will require submission to the NYSDEC of a Notice-of-Intent along with
an MS4 SWPPP Acceptance Form approved by the City of Ithaca Stormwater Management Officer as well as the Town
of Ithaca Stormwater Management Officer.
Runoff from the proposed building and artificial turf field will be conveyed to a single below grade detention system
with the required volume to detain the 1% chance storm event. This system will use manufactured chamber units
encased in an envelope of stone and be located underneath the turf field. Diversion structures will be placed upstream
of the detention system to direct runoff from low flow events to the system’s pretreatment “isolator rows”. Higher
flow events will bypass the isolator rows and enter the system directly. An outlet control structure will be installed
downstream of the system to ensure discharge rates do not exceed the existing conditions. Water quality treatment,
including both the required water quality volume (WQv) and runoff reduction volume (RRv), will be provided by means
of infiltration. Permeability testing will be performed in accordance with the NYSDEC Stormwater Design Manual. A
bioretention filter located in the open space north of the building will provide additional WQv treatment as well as
contribute to (RRv). Additional WQv will be provided by a Hydrodynamic Separator which will treat runoff collected
from adjacent impervious areas. All of the proposed permanent stormwater management practices will be located
within the City of Ithaca.

Impact on Land
Existing Conditions
Approximately one third of the project site is a level/flat artificial turf field, with a border varying from twenty to forty
feet in width. This border slopes down to the field. The remainder of the project site is managed as very flat natural turf.
There is a black chain link fence along the perimeter of the entire project site and just south of the fence on the southern
end of the project site is a row of deciduous trees.
Excavation
All excavated soil materials will be reused on site.
Impact on Water
No streams, bodies of water, federal or state jurisdictional wetlands present on or near the site. The project site has
been previously disturbed, developed, and maintained as natural and artificial turf, with associated improvements. The
indoor turf system is a long fiber turf with infill and a shock pad. The outdoor field hockey field is a non-infilled surface,
(with no crumb rubber or sand infill), that is installed over a shock pad. The specified turf surface will be manufactured
without PFAS, including all raw materials and finished products.
No significant adverse impacts to water are expected to result from the proposed project.
Impact on Air
The proposed project will include no new emissions sources and therefore is not expected to have negative
adverse impacts on air quality.
Impact on Plants, Animals, & Agriculture
According to the NYSDEC Environmental Resource Mapper which provides generalized locations of Rare Plants
and Animals, Lake sturgeon and Rusty-patched bumble bee are listed in the project vicinity. However, the project
site consists of natural and artificial turf, which is inhospitable to either of these species. According to xerces.org
the greatest threats to Rusty-patched bumble bee populations is commercial bumble bee rearing and insecticide
applications on farms. The plans for this project include the incorporation of meadow grasses, a rain garden, native
shrubs and trees, which will potentially provide food sources and habitat for invertebrates as well as other wildlife.
The site plan for the Meinig Fieldhouse and relocated field hockey venue will maintain the two existing sports lighting
poles that currently serve as the preferred nesting location for a pair of beloved Cornell red-tailed hawks (Big Red and
Arthur). The sports lighting poles that will remain will not be lit or powered and are not programmatically operational.
They remain solely as a host to nest, hunting lookout and yearly fledging activities. Preserving these key light poles is
to encourage the nesting pair to continue to inhabit their current nest at Alumni Fields through construction and beyond.
Numerous constructions projects have occurred during their occupation in this area of campus, and they continue to
make the location home.
New plantings of native species and a natural grass lawn north of the field house aim to further supplement an inviting
and sustainable environment for Big Red and Arthur in hopes that they will remain on campus during construction and
after completion.
Additional details will be provided during the site plan review process, but it is expected that the project will result in a
net addition of trees to the project site.
No significant adverse impacts to plants, animals and agriculture are expected as a result of the proposed project.
Supplemental Information
48
Impact on Aesthetic Resources
The proposed project is not located within a Tompkins County identified viewshed. The Meinig Fieldhouse is proposed
for construction in a location where there are currently sports fields comprised of both natural and artificial turf and is
surrounded by campus buildings of various sizes and materials. No significant adverse aesthetic impacts are expected
as a result of the proposed project.
Impact on Cultural Resources
Per the Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS), there are three National Register-listed buildings in the general
area - Rice Hall, Fernow Hall, and Wing Hall. Fernow Hall is also a designated Local Landmark. Rice Hall is located
approximately 650 feet northeast from the center of the project site. Fernow Hall is located approximately 650 feet
north from the center of the project site, on the north side of an open quad along Tower Road. Wing Hall is located
approximately 1,200 feet east of the center of the project, along Wing Drive, with the Charles Berman Field/Robert
Kane Sports Complex in between. The project will not modify or encroach upon any of these buildings. No significant
adverse impacts to historic resources are expected as a result of the proposed project.
The existing site and proposed location for the Meinig Fieldhouse has been developed and highly disturbed over the
years. Given the highly disturbed nature of the site, and lack of evidence supporting archaeological significance on the
site, no impacts to archaeological resources are anticipated.
Impact on Open Space & Recreation
The project site is currently used for Cornell athletics and will continue be used for that purpose. No negative impacts
to open space or recreation are anticipated as a result of this project.
Impact on Critical Environmental and Unique Natural Areas
The proposed site is not located in a Critical Environmental Area (CEA). The nearest CEA, Coy Glen, is located
approximately four miles from the project site.
The project is well outside of designated natural areas, including the Gorge Protection Area (GP-A) near Cascadilla
Creek; the limit of GP-A limit is along the south edge of Hoy Road, southwest of the project. The project is fully outside
the Cascadilla Unique Natural Area. The limit for this UNA is south of Campus Road, across the street from the project.
The project is also fully outside the Beebe Lake Woods and Gorge Unique Natural Area, which is located to the north.
Impact on Transportation
Parking Impacts
The project will result in the removal of several parking spaces.
Traffic Impacts
The proposed project is expected to result in an increase of one staff. The resulting anticipated traffic increase to
campus will be insignificant.
Cornell’s Parking Management
Cornell University manages parking in compliance with the City’s U-1 zoning. Cornell manages its large parking
inventory of approximately 11,000 parking spaces through a coordinated parking permit system. All of these programs
are managed together as a parking and transit ecosystem or district. Employee permits are issued through a work-
in zone system based on groupings of buildings by designated parking areas. For a given zone, a limited number of
permits are sold, so that purchasers have a reasonable chance to park. Individual facility projects that impact parking or
transit in the short or long term are reviewed for impact on the entire system, and they benefit from the flexibility the
Supplemental Information
49
system provides for shifting demand and supply to meet campus community needs.
Impact on Energy
The proposed project is designed to be energy efficient, will utilize Cornell’s highly efficient district energy system,
and will comply with both the NYS Energy Code and the City of Ithaca’s new Ithaca Energy Code Supplement. There
will be no natural gas connections in the proposed building.
Impacts from Sound, Odor & Light
Sound generation will be restricted to the sounds of air handling fans and a ductless split heat pump system within the
building. Any noise perceived will be well below municipal sound limits.
There will be no significant odor-producing sources from either the building or operations.
No significant adverse impacts to sound, odor or light are anticipated as a result of the proposed project..
Impact on Human Health
Artificial turf has been shown to pose no health risk in more than 110 technical studies conducted by a variety of
trusted scientific authorities, including the US EPA, Washington State Department of Health, US Department of Energy
and Environment, and more. Studies in California and Washington State have not found support for cancer associations
with artificial turf use; various exposure and risk assessments do not support a cancer risk.
The outdoor field hockey field is a non-infilled surface, (with no crumb rubber or sand infill), that is installed over
a shock pad. The specified turf surface will be manufactured without PFAS including all raw materials and finished
products. No significant adverse impacts on human health are expected.
Impact on Growth & Character of Community
The new building is being developed within Cornell’s Central Campus. The area is already well developed with
academic buildings and open space quads. Given that the project is in alignment with the campus character and in an
area of similar campus development, no significant adverse impact on the character of the community is anticipated.
The project will not influence overall University enrollment. It will result in the creation of one additional job. Given
this, the project is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the growth of the community.
Impacts from Construction
Construction of the new building is anticipated to take approximately 16 months, beginning in fourth quarter 2024 with
completion in the first quarter of 2026. Third quarter 2025 is anticipated to be the busiest time in terms of construction
activity. This is when the greatest number of construction vehicles and the greatest number of workers will be present
on site. At peak activity, a maximum of 80 workers could be expected on site in a single day.
Construction vehicles will be directed to access the site via a prescribed route from Tower Road for new field work and
from Campus Road for the building work.
The new building water line crosses Tower Road. Due to this a temporary rerouting and road closure is anticipated
for Tower Road of about two weeks. This closure would be planned for summer months when the campus population
is lower. There is also new utility work in the parking lot south of Tower Road/North of the project site as well as the
parking lot North of Campus Road adjacent to Friedman Wrestling Center. Portions of each of these lots will require
closers of about two weeks for utility work.
Supplemental Information
50
Three existing pedestrian sidewalks within the project site are planned for demolition and reconstruction. The first runs
north/south between Robison Alumni Field and the Robert J. Kane Sports Complex. The second runs east/west and is
located just north of Bartels Hall. The third runs north/south and is located just east of Weill Hall. East/west pedestrian
traffic will be rerouted to the south of Bartels Hall to the existing to remain sidewalk along Campus Road. North/south
pedestrian traffic will be rerouted to the existing to remain sidewalk between Weill Hall and the Biotechnology Building.
Excavation work will not include blasting and will reuse existing soils on site.
The resident hawks appear to be accustomed to construction activities since there is currently active construction on
either side of the project site and they have not left..

hockey field (B-1 thru B-3), two at the throwing field (B-4 and B-6), and two at the
teaching research barns (B-7 and B-8); note that borehole B-5 was deleted due to access
considerations and the lack of a suitable alternate location. The test boring locations were
selected by Stantec and were staked in the field using taped measurements from existing
site features (and by visual reference). Their approximate locations are shown on Figures 2
and 3.
The test borings were completed between October 2, 2018 and February 4, 2019 by
Empire’s affiliated drilling and materials testing company, SJB Services, Inc., using
standard rotary drill rigs equipped with hollow stem augers. Completion of the boreholes on
the existing athletic fields required waiting until the fields were sufficiently frozen and
snow covered such that the fields were not damaged by the drill rig.
As the augers were advanced, overburden soils were sampled in accordance with ASTM
D1586, the Standard Method for Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils. Split
spoon samples and standard penetration tests (SPTs) were taken on a continuous basis from
the ground surface to a depth of 8 to 12 feet, and at standard five foot intervals thereafter to
the borehole termination depths. The test borings were thus advanced to total depths of 3.9
to 50.0 feet below the existing ground surface (bgs).
Representative portions of the recovered soil samples were transported to SJB’s office,
whereupon a geotechnical engineer or geologist prepared individual subsurface logs based
on visual/manual classification of the recovered soil samples and review of the driller’s
field notes. The samples were described based on estimation of the grain size distribution,
and characteristics such as color, relative density or consistency, moisture condition, etc.
The subsurface logs are presented in Attachment A, together with a summary sheet and key
which explains the terms and symbols used in their preparation.
In addition to the test borings completed for this investigation, the findings of other
geotechnical investigations previous completed by Empire across the Cornell campus have
been considered and incorporated herein as applicable.
3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Soil conditions at each of the three sites under consideration are essentially similar, as
summarized by stratum below. The individual subsurface logs should be referenced for
specific conditions encountered at each test boring location.
Surface and Fill Materials
Surface veneers of either topsoil or asphalt pavement were present at most test boring
locations, at thicknesses of approximately 0.5 to 0.8 feet. Below this, fill soils were
encountered at boreholes B-4, B-7 and B-8. In general, the fill was found to consist of sand
and gravel with lesser amounts of silt, and extended to depths of about two to six feet bgs.
Empire Project No.: WA-18-016
Proposed Covered Athletic Facility - Cornell U niversity Page 3 of 8
Note that at location B-8, a total of four attempts were made to advance the borehole. The
attempts were made within several feet of one another, and each met refusal between the
depths of 3.2 and 3.9 feet, apparently on old building rubble. A representative of the college
indicated that an old barn was formerly located in that area, and a circa 1968 aerial photo
seems to bear this out. Test boring B-8 did not fully penetrate the fill/rubble.
Indigenous Soils
Directly beneath the surface materials (and whatever fill was present), native silt and clay
soils were found. The silt and clay deposit was typically of medium consistency as
indicated by measured SPT N-values.
At depths of about 15 to 20 feet and below, glacial till soils were encountered. The glacial
till was comprised of silts and sands with lesser amounts of gravel and clay, and was
typically of a firm to very compact relative density. The glacial till soils prevailed for the
reminder of the depths explored.
Bedrock
Bedrock was not encountered at any of the test borings advanced for this study. We note
that a test boring performed by SJB in 2006 for another project, and located near the
intersection of Wing Road and Campus Road, was advanced to a depth of 112 feet with no
bedrock encountered. Overburden soils in that borehole were similar to that encountered in
the test borings advanced for this project.
For information purposes, the Geologic Map of New York – Finger Lakes Sheet (New
York State Education Department, 1970) indicates bedrock beneath the project area
consists of Genesee group shales and siltstones of the Ithaca formation.
Groundwater Conditions
Measurable groundwater inside the augers was found at only one location (test boring B-6,
at a depth of 10.7 feet bgs as the borehole was advanced). Similarly, wet soil samples were
recovered from just two locations (boreholes B-6 and B-7, at discrete intervals below the
depth of 20 feet).
In general, it appears that groundwater, where present across the site, is perched or trapped
in more permeable sandy/gravelly layers within clayey or glacial till soils which are
otherwise non-water bearing. While not identified through this investigation, perched
groundwater may also be present in localized areas nearer the ground surface, particularly
where any fill is present.
Perched groundwater may be more prevalent during seasonally wet periods and following
heavy or extended periods of precipitation. It should be expected that groundwater
conditions, and the extent of any perched water, will vary with location and with seasonal
Empire Project No.: WA-18-016
Proposed Covered Athletic Facility - Cornell U niversity Page 4 of 8
fluctuations in precipitation and runoff.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Each of the three sites investigated through this study is considered suitable for support of
the proposed structure using conventional shallow spread foundations. Based on the
conditions disclosed, we offer the following general conclusions, followed by provisional
design recommendations in the subsequent report sections. We recommend that final
design be developed with the benefit of a more thorough investigation once the site location
is settled on and the design concept is more firmly established, so as to confirm the findings
and assumptions outlined herein.
1)New foundations may be seated on undisturbed native soils, or on imported structural fill
which is placed over the native soils after all existing fill is removed, along with any
disturbed or otherwise unsuitable material that may be found.
2)Assuming that all fill materials on the site are similar to those found in the test borings,
consideration may be given to leaving the fill in place beneath the new field surface (after
all existing topsoil and/or pavements are removed). However, the subgrade should be
thoroughly proof-rolled to identify any localized soft areas which should be investigated
and stabilized as necessary prior to any necessary grade increases or subbase placement.
3)A suitable imported granular fill should be used for the purposes of raising site grades,
should such be necessary.
4)As soils excavated for foundation construction are expected to be excessively silty/clayey
or possibly variable in composition, we recommend against their reuse as foundation
backfill. An imported granular fill should be used for all fill and backfill work around new
foundations. Excavated onsite soils be separated and wasted or reused in landscaped areas
only.
5)At the time of investigation, groundwater was found below the depths likely to directly
impact on design and construction of building foundations. If groundwater is encountered,
it is expected to occur as relatively slow seepage and be of limited volume; standard sump
and pump methods should be adequate to dewater shallow foundation excavations during
construction.
4.1 Foundation Design
A maximum net allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) may be
assumed for conventional spread foundations at each of the three sites under consideration.
Continuous strip footings should be at least two feet in width, and isolated footings should
be at least three feet in width. All exterior foundations should be seated at least four feet
below final adjacent grades for frost protection. Interior foundations (beneath heated
spaces, if any) should bear at a nominal depth of two feet or more below finished floor to
develop adequate bearing capacity.
Empire Project No.: WA-18-016
Proposed Covered Athletic Facility - Cornell U niversity Page 5 of 8
The foundations may be seated directly on undisturbed native soils, or on imported
structural fill placed over the native soils after removal of all existing fill, remains of
former structures or otherwise unsuitable materials that may be found. As subsurface
conditions may vary, careful inspection of the subgrades is recommended as excavations
are made to verify that foundations are constructed on the materials intended.
If over-excavation is required beneath the foundations to remove unsuitable material, the
excavation should extend horizontally beyond each side of the foundation a distance equal
to at least one-half the depth of the undercut below the final bearing grade elevation.
Replacement material should meet the specification and compaction guidelines for
structural fill as outlined in Attachment B.
Any water which enters foundation excavations should be promptly removed, together with
any softened bearing grade materials. All final bearing grades should be firm, stable, and
free of any loose soil, mud, water or frost.
Assuming that foundations are designed and constructed as recommended, total settlement
is not expected to exceed one inch, and differential settlement is not expected to exceed ¾-
inch. Any such settlement should occur as construction proceeds and proportionally as
loads are applied.
4.2 Athletic Field Construction
The athletic field surface (or any floor slabs that may be planned) should be constructed
over a minimum six inch thick base course of subbase stone (or as recommended by the
field surface vendor); consideration should be given to increasing this thickness in areas
subject to heavier loads and/or use, or in areas which are unheated. The athletic field
subgrades should be prepared as outlined in section 4.4 herein. Material specification and
placement guidelines for the subbase stone are provided in Attachment B (see structural
fill).
4.3 Seismic Design Considerations
In our estimation, each of the three sites under consideration meet the criteria for seismic
Site Class “D” (stiff soil profile) as set forth in table 20.3-1 of ASCE 7 referenced in the
2015 International Building Code adopted by New York State.
Spectral response accelerations in the project area were obtained from the ATC Hazards by
Location web application. The accelerations are based on USGS seismic hazard data as
promulgated in the building code. Using geographic coordinates 42.4455°N, 76.4706°W
for the project site, the indicated maximum spectral response accelerations normalized for
sreference Site Class B conditions are 0.126g for the short period response (0.2 second, S )
1and 0.056g for the 1 second period response (S ). For design purposes, these spectral
Empire Project No.: WA-18-016
Proposed Covered Athletic Facility - Cornell U niversity Page 6 of 8
response accelerations must be modified for the soil profile determined at the project site,
as follows:
Maximum spectral response accelerations, adjusted for Site Class:
MS•Short Period Response (S ) - 0.201g
M1•1 Second Period Response (S ) - 0.135g
Maximum five percent damped design spectral response accelerations:
DS •S - 0.134g
D1•S - 0.090g
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered at the site, the potential for liquefaction to
occur during a seismic event is considered minimal.
4.4 Site Preparation and Construction
Construction Dewatering
Appreciable groundwater or water table conditions are not anticipated within the
excavation depths anticipated for this work. If perched groundwater is encountered, it is
expected that it will occur as relatively slow seepage which may be controlled through
sump and pump methods of dewatering. Any seepage of groundwater should be intercepted
and maintained below the proposed excavation bottom, such that work proceeds in the dry.
Excavation for Foundation Construction
Excavation to the proposed bearing grades for foundation construction should be performed
using a method which limits disturbance to the bearing grade soils, such as a backhoe
equipped with a smooth blade bucket. All topsoil and existing fill should be removed from
beneath proposed foundation bearing grades, along with the remains of any former
structures, disturbed, soft, loose or otherwise unsuitable materials which may be found.
Subgrades should be carefully inspected during construction to verify that foundations are
constructed on suitable materials. The native soil bearing grades should be observed and
evaluated by the geotechnical engineer prior to foundation construction, or where over-
excavation is required, before placement of structural fill. Placement and compaction of any
structural fill beneath foundations should be as outlined in Attachment B.
All bearing grades for foundation construction should be protected from precipitation and
surface water. Water should not be allowed to accumulate on the bearing grades and the
bearing grades should not be allowed to freeze, either prior to or after construction of
foundations. Any water which enters foundation excavations should be promptly removed,
together with any softened bearing grade materials. All final bearing grades should be firm,
stable, and free of any loose soil, mud, water or frost.
Empire Project No.: WA-18-016
Proposed Covered Athletic Facility - Cornell U niversity Page 7 of 8
Foundation excavations should be backfilled as soon as possible and prior to construction
of the superstructure. We recommend that foundation backfill consist of structural fill or
suitable granular fill.
Subgrade Preparation for Athletic Field Surface
Beneath the new athletic field (or any slabs-on-grade or pavement areas that may be
planned), all existing topsoil and pavements should be removed, along with any stumps,
roots, excessively coarse or otherwise unsuitable material that may be found. Following
removal of surface materials and excavation to proposed subgrades, the exposed subgrades
should be proof-rolled to evaluate their condition. The proof-rolling should be performed
prior to any required fill placement, using a smooth drum roller with a static weight of at
least seven tons. The roller should be operated in the static (non-vibratory) mode and
complete at least two passes over the exposed subgrades in opposite directions.
All subgrades and/or proof-rolling should be observed by the geotechnical engineer. Any
areas which appear wet, loose, soft, unstable or otherwise unsuitable should be undercut.
Over-excavation, which may be required as a result of the evaluation, should be performed
based on guidance provided by the engineer. Where undercut to remove unsuitable soils
and improve stability, subgrades should be backfilled with a controlled structural fill.
Suitable granular fill may be used for general grade increases and to raise site grades
beneath the subbase course for the athletic field, slabs-on-grade or pavements. Placement of
material to raise site grades should be monitored by a representative of the engineer to
ensure the recommendations contained herein are adhered to. Material specification and
placement guidelines for imported granular fill materials are provided in Attachment B.
During construction, the contractor should take precautions to limit construction traffic
over slab and pavement subgrades. Any subgrades which become damaged, rutted, unstable
or are otherwise degraded should be undercut and repaired as necessary prior to placement
of the subbase course.
Excavation Safety
All excavations must be performed in accordance with Federal Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) standards, along with state and local codes as applicable.

GENERAL INFORMATION & KEY TO SUBSURFACE LOGS
The Subsurface Logs attached to this report present the observations and mechanical data collected by the driller at the site,
supplemented by classification of the material removed from the borings as determined through visual identification by technicians
in the laboratory. It is cautioned that the materials removed from the borings represent only a fraction of the total volume of the
deposits at the site and may not necessarily be representative of the subsurface conditions between adjacent borings or between the
sampled intervals. The data presented on the Subsurface Logs together with the recovered samples provide a basis for evaluating
the character of the subsurface conditions relative to the project. The evaluation must consider all the recorded details and their
significance relative to each other. Often analyses of standard boring data indicate the need for additional testing or sampling
procedures to more accurately evaluate the subsurface conditions. Any evaluation of the contents of this report and recovered samples
must be performed by qualified professionals. The following information defines some of the procedures and terms used on the
Subsurface Logs to describe the conditions encountered, consistent with the numbered identifiers shown on the Key opposite this
page.
1. The figures in the Depth column define the scale of the Subsurface Log.
2. The Samples column shows, graphically, the depth range from which a sample was recovered. See Table I for descriptions
of the symbols used to represent the various types of samples.
3. The Sample No. is used for identification on sample containers and/or Laboratory Test Reports.
4. Blows on Sampler - shows the results of the “Penetration Test”, recording the number of blows required to drive a split spoon
sampler into the soil. The number of blows required for each six inches is recorded. The first 6 inches of penetration is
considered a seating drive. The number of blows required for the second and third 6 inches of penetration is termed the
penetration resistance, N. The outside diameter of the sampler, hammer weight and length of drop are noted at the bottom of
the Subsurface Log.
5. Blows on Casing - Shows the number of blows required to advance the casing a distance of 12 inches. The casing size, hammer
weight, and length of drop are noted at the bottom of the Subsurface Log. If the casing is advanced by means other than
driving, the method of advancement will be indicated in the Notes column or under the Method of Investigation at the bottom
of the Subsurface Log. Alternatively, sample recovery may be shown in this column, or other data consistent with the column
heading.
6. All recovered soil samples are reviewed in the laboratory by an engineering technician, geologist or geotechnical engineer,
unless noted otherwise. Visual descriptions are made on the basis of a combination of the driller’s field descriptions and noted
observations together with the sample as received in the laboratory. The method of visual classification is based primarily on
the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D 2487) with regard to the particle size and plasticity (See Table No. II), and
the Unified Soil Classification System group symbols for the soil types are sometimes included with the soil classification.
Additionally, the relative portion, by weight, of two or more soil types is described for granular soils in accordance with
“Suggested Methods of Test for Identification of Soils” by D.M. Burmister, ASTM Special Technical Publication 479, June
1970. (See Table No. III). Description of the relative soil density or consistency is based upon the penetration records as
defined in Table No. IV. The description of the soil moisture is based upon the relative wetness of the soil as recovered and
is described as dry, moist, wet and saturated. Water introduced into the boring either naturally or during drilling may have
affected the moisture condition of the recovered sample. Special terms are used as required to describe soil deposition in
greater detail; several such terms are listed in Table V. When sampling gravelly soils with a standard two inch diameter split
spoon, the true percentage of gravel is often not recovered due to the relatively small sampler diameter. The presence of
boulders and large gravel is sometimes, but not necessarily, detected by an evaluation of the casing and sampler blows or
through the “action” of the drill rig as reported by the driller.
7. Rock description is based on review of the recovered rock core and the driller’s notes. Frequently used rock classification
terms are included in Table VI.
8. The stratification lines represent the approximate boundary between soil types and the transition may be gradual. Solid
stratification lines delineate apparent changes in soil type, based upon review of recovered soil samples and the driller’s notes.
Dashed lines convey a lesser degree of certainty with respect to either a change in soil type or where such change may occur.
9. Miscellaneous observations and procedures noted by the driller are shown in this column, including water level observations.
It is important to realize the reliability of the water level observations depends upon the soil type (water does not readily
stabilize in a hole through fine grained soils), and that any drill water used to advance the boring may have influenced the
observations. The ground water level will fluctuate seasonally, typically. One or more perched or trapped water levels may
exist in the ground seasonally. All the available readings should be evaluated. If definite conclusions cannot be made, it is
often prudent to examine the conditions more thoroughly through test pit excavations or groundwater observation wells.
10. The length of core run is defined as the length of penetration of the core barrel. Core recovery is the length of core recovered
divided by the core run. The RQD (Rock Quality Designation) is the total length of pieces of NX core exceeding 4 inches
divided by the core run. The size core barrel used is also noted in the Method of Investigation at the bottom of the Subsurface
Log.

General Fill Material and Earthwork Recommendations
B-1
ATTACHMENT B
GENERAL FILL MATERIAL AND EARTHWORK RECOMMENDATIONS
I. Material Recommendations
A. Structural Fill
Structural Fill should consist of processed sand and gravel or crusher run
stone, free of clay, organics and friable or deleterious particles. As a
minimum, the material should meet the requirements of NYS Department of
Transportation Standard Specifications, Item 733.0402 or 733.0404 B Type 2
or 4 Subbase, with the following general gradation limits.
Sieve Size Percent Finer
Distribution by Weight
2 inch 100
3 inch 25-65
No. 40 5-40
No. 200 0-10
B. Suitable Granular Fill
Suitable soil material, classified as GW, GP, GM, SW, SP and SM soils using
the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D-2487) and having no more
than 85- percent material by weight passing the No. 40 sieve, no more than
20- percent material by weight passing the No. 200 sieve and which is
generally free of particles greater than 6 inches, will be acceptable as Suitable
Granular Fill. It should also be free of topsoil, asphalt, concrete rubble,
wood, debris, clay and other deleterious materials. Suitable Granular Fill
should be used as foundation backfill.
II. Placement and Compaction Requirements
All controlled fill placed beneath foundations, and all foundation backfill should be
compacted to a minimum 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by
the modified Proctor test (ASTM D1557). During placement, individual fill layers
should not exceed a loose lift thickness of 6 to 9 inches, and lift thickness should be
limited as necessary to ensure that adequate compaction is achieved with the
compaction equipment in use.
Fill should have a moisture content within two percent of the optimum moisture
content prior to compaction. Subgrades should be properly drained and protected
from moisture and frost. Placement of fill on frozen subgrades is not acceptable. It
is recommended that all fill placement and compaction be monitored and tested by
B-2
a representative of the engineer.
III. Quality Assurance Testing
The following minimum laboratory and field quality assurance testing frequencies
are recommended to verify fill material quality, and to ensure satisfactory placement
and compaction of the fill. These minimum frequencies are based on generally
uniform material properties and placement conditions. Should material properties
vary or conditions at the time of placement vary (e.g., moisture content, placement
and compaction, procedures or equipment, etc.) Then more frequent testing would
be recommended. Any additional testing which may be necessary should be
determined by qualified geotechnical personnel, based on evaluation of the actual
fill material and construction conditions.
A. Laboratory Testing of Material Properties
$ Moisture content (ASTM D-2216) - 1 test per 4000 cubic yards or no
less than 2 tests per each material type.
$ Grain size analysis (ASTM D-422) - 1 test per 4000 cubic yards or no
less than 2 tests per each material type.
$ Liquid and plastic limits (ASTM D-4318) - 1 test per 4000 cubic yards
or no less than 2 tests per each material type. Liquid and plastic limit
testing would generally be necessary only if deemed appropriate based
on material composition (e.g., clayey or silty soils).
$ Modified Proctor moisture-density relationship (ASTM D-1557) - 1
test per 4000 cubic yards or no less than 1 test per each material type.
A maximum/minimum density relationship (ASTM D-4253 and
ASTM D-4254) may be an appropriate substitute for ASTM D-1557
depending on material gradation.
B. Field In-Place Moisture/Density Testing (ASTM D-3017 and ASTM D-2922)
$ Backfilling along trenches and foundation walls - 1 test per 50 lineal
feet per lift.
$ Backfilling isolated excavations (e.g., column foundations, manholes,
etc.) - 1 test per lift.

Information Regarding Geotechnical Report
GEOTECHNICAL REPORT LIMITATIONS
WMA Engineering DPC / DBA Empire Geotechnical Engineering Services (Empire) has endeavored to meet
the generally accepted standard of care for the services completed, and in doing so is obliged to advise the
geotechnical report user of our report limitations. Empire believes that providing information about the report
preparation and limitations is essential to help the user reduce geotechnical-related delays, cost over-runs, and
other problems that can develop during the design and construction process. Empire would be pleased to
answer any questions regarding the following limitations and use of our report to assist the user in assessing
risks and planning for site development and construction.
PROJECT SPECIFIC FACTORS: The conclusions and recommendations provided in our geotechnical
report were prepared based on project specific factors described in the report, such as size, loading, and
intended use of structures; general configuration of structures, roadways, and parking lots; existing and
proposed site grading; and any other pertinent project information. Changes to the project details may alter the
factors considered in development of the report conclusions and recommendations. Accordingly, Empire
cannot accept responsibility for problems which may develop if we are not consulted regarding any changes to
the project specific factors that were assumed during the report preparation.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS: The site exploration investigated subsurface conditions only at discrete test
locations. Empire has used judgement to infer subsurface conditions between the discrete test locations, and on
this basis the conclusions and recommendations in our geotechnical report were developed. It should be
understood that the overall subsurface conditions inferred by Empire may vary from those revealed during
construction, and these variations may impact on the assumptions made in developing the report conclusions
and recommendations. For this reason, Empire should be retained during construction to confirm that
conditions are as expected, and to refine our conclusions and recommendations in the event that conditions are
encountered that were not disclosed during the site exploration program.
USE OF GEOTECHNICAL REPORT: Unless indicated otherwise, our geotechnical report has been
prepared for the use of our client for specific application to the site and project conditions described in the
report. Without consulting with Empire, our geotechnical report should not be applie d by any party to other
sites or for any uses other than those originally intended.
CHANGES IN SITE CONDITIONS: Surface and subsurface conditions are subject to change at a project
site subsequent to preparation of the geotechnical report. Changes may include, but are not limited to, floods,
earthquakes, groundwater fluctuations, and construction activities at the site and/or adjoining properties.
Empire should be informed of any such changes to determine if additional investigative and/or evaluation work
is warranted.
MISINTERPRETATION OF REPORT: The conclusions and recommendations contained in our
geotechnical report are subject to misinterpretation. To limit this possibility, Empire should review project
plans and specifications relative to geotechnical issues to confirm that the recommendations contained in our
report have been properly interpreted and applied.
Subsurface exploration logs and other report data are also subject to misinterpretation by others if they are
separated from the geotechnical report. This often occurs when copies of logs are given to contractors during
the bid preparation process. To minimize the potential for misinterpretation, the subsurface logs should not be
separated from our geotechnical report and the use of excerpted or incomplete portions of the report should be
avoided.
OTHER LIMITATIONS: Geotechnical engineering is less exact than other design disciplines, as it is based
partly on judgement and opinion. For this reason, our geotechnical report may include clauses that identify the
limits of Empire’s responsibility, or that may describe other limitations specific to a project. These clauses are
intended to help all parties recognize their responsibilities and to assist them in assessing risks and decision
making. Empire would be pleased to discuss these clauses and to answer any questions that may arise.
