Mt. Lebanon School District Geotechnical Report

Thanks to Jeanine Szalinski's hard work and to Bill Matthew's financial support for the Right To Know, I picked up the geotechnical report from the school district this morning.  Here it is. Geotechnical report According to page 83 of 88 pages, CEC sent a letter (addendum) to Mrs. Kathy Stoughton of Celli Flynn Brennan claiming that a tested sample indicated a pyrite content of 0.27%. The letter states that "Materials containing as little as 0.1% pyrite have been documented to produce heaving in lightly loaded structures such as floor slabs or utilities if conditions are right."

Don't tell the wood flooring folks about this or else they will not stand behind their warranty. But let's just keeping on moving forward, folks.

Update September 17, 2012 1:15 PM Generalized Soil Profile as promised.

Geotechnical report coming Monday

Through a 9/8/12 Right To Know, I am receiving a copy of the geotechnical report referenced in "Potential Project Cost Savings Worksheet" dated 8/8/2011. This time, it will cost me $21.75. The report should be available for pick up on Monday. Up until now, I have been able to get RTKs granted and sent via email. There were no charges for copies at twenty five cents per copy. The School District is allowed to charge for copies, but I hope this isn't the start of a new trend. If so, I will need to start a RTK fund! As soon as I receive the geotechnical report, I will scan it and post it here.

I would like to add that Mrs. Szalinski was quite pleasant when I called her with questions.  Thanks for your quick response, Mrs. Szalinski. The original response was sent via email and the following people were cc'ed:
