Project Information
NAME OF PROJECT: Dalton RICE Generation Facility DATE PREPARED: 05/15/2026
CONTRACTING PARTY: Dalton Utilities VERSION: 3
PROJECT NUMBER: 197347 OTHER STANDARDS: n/a
PROJECT LOCATION: Dalton, Georgia PREPARED BY: Abbie LaFleur
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A new Gas Reciprocating Engine Plant is planned in Whitfield County, Georgia. The
project will be comprised of reciprocating engines, a warehouse, storage tanks, stacks, radiators, various
equipment buildings, transformers, and other associated equipment.
Foundation loads are anticipated to generally range from relatively light to heavy, with some lightly-loaded
miscellaneous equipment. It is planned to support the structures on shallow foundations (mats, spread footings,
slabs-on-grade), provided foundation movements (heave or settlement) can be limited to 1-inch or less (2-inches
or less for tanks). If not, deep foundations (drilled shafts, auger-cast piles, driven piles, etc.) will be considered.
Preliminary structure loading is summarized in the following table.
Structure Assumed Foundation Type Average Pressure (ksf)
Main Building - Engine Hall,
Mat 110' x 190' 1.5
Mech/Elec/Ops
Oil Tank Containment Mat 86' x 40' 2

Step-Up Transformer Mat 28' x 48' 1.5
MV Building Mat 26' x 55' 1
Warehouse Mat 100' x 75' 1
Radiators Drilled Shafts
Backup Power Transformer Mat 25' x 16' 0.7
Charge Air Filter Mat 110' x 22' 1
SCR Mat 30' x 72' 0.8
Gas Coalescing Filter Mat 20' x 15' 0.8
Station Transformer Mat 20' x 18' 0.8
Oil Water Separator Potentially buried, 15' depth, 26' x 8'
MAU Gen Side Mat 110'x 15' 0.5
MAU Aux Side Mat 20' x 28' 0.75
Deadend Structures Drilled Shafts 100 ft-K base moment
Truck Unloading Station 120' x 15' HS-20 Truck Loading
New pavement areas are also planned. Parking and drive areas will be constructed as asphaltic and Portland
cement concrete, gravel surfacing, or some combination.
Grading plans have not yet been developed. Final grading plans are not yet available, but between 10 feet of cut
and 10 feet of fill is anticipated. An infiltration pond is planned on the north side of the site.

Geotechnical Investigation
Technical Guidelines
20231218
Document Use:
This document provides technical guidance for activities associated with geotechnical investigations and
reporting. Refer to Geotechnical Engineering Services Investigation and Report Checklist for applicable
portions to this project as well as any modifications to the requirements or criteria defined herein. The
requirements outlined herein, and on the Checklist, represent the minimum scope required for this project.
Additional scope items may be proposed as part of the services if required to provide the information
requested. There must be no removal of scope items outlined herein, and on the Checklist, without
acceptance by Contracting Party.
Applicable Standards:
Perform drilling and rock coring, field testing, sampling, sample storage and transportation, logging of
soil and rock types, and laboratory testing and reporting in general accordance with the latest revision or
supplement to the applicable ASTM Standards.
If indicated under Project Information, other standards may apply to the work being performed.
Applicable portions of these standards are attached to these Guidelines.
Scope of Services:
Provide all labor, equipment, and materials (including drill rigs, sampling equipment, survey instruments,
soil testing equipment, and water) required to perform the investigations as specified herein. Obtain all
necessary local permits and land access authorizations to complete the investigations unless otherwise
directed by Contracting Party. Investigation activities shall be supervised full-time and logged by an
experienced geotechnical engineer or geologist.
1.0 Field Investigation Requirements
1.1. Locations
Perform indicated investigation techniques and/or field-testing techniques at indicated investigation
locations. If coordinates are provided, utilize GPS equipment that provides accuracy of less than 10 feet
for establishing investigation locations. If dimensions are provided, establish investigation locations using
methods that provide accuracy of less than 0.5 feet. Stake final placement of investigation locations.
Investigation locations may be adjusted in the field to avoid utilities, overhead obstructions, or to permit
easier access, provided the final locations (latitude and longitude coordinates) are noted on the respective
logs and plans and adjustment is discussed in final report. Offsets shall not exceed 10 feet from the
original location unless approved in advance. In addition, the final latitude and longitude coordinates of
all investigation locations shall be summarized as a table in the report and on the boring logs and shall
