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.
