A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake

Shannon & Wilson, Inc. 1972a. Subsurface Investigation Vancouver Lake Urban Planning Project, Port of Vancouver, Washington (report to Stevens, Thompson & Runyan, Inc.)

This report presents the results of a subsurface investigation within the confines of Vancouver Lake for an Urban Planning Project associated with the proposed rehabilitation and development of the Lake. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the engineering properties of the materials existing in the Lake bottom to depths of at least 7.5 feet below the mudline. The scope of the work included field explorations, laboratory testing and engineering studies.

Field investigations consisted of borings at seven locations within the confines of Vancouver Lake to provide samples for three different test programs of the overall investigation, i.e., 1) engineering, 2) agricultural, and 3) biological. Although all of the samples were obtained by us, the samples for the agricultural and biological tests were turned over to others, and therefore, the results of the agricultural and biological tests are not a part of this report.

Laboratory tests were accomplished to determine the index and engineering properties of the materials encountered in the Lake bottom. These tests included classification, strength and consolidation tests.

Engineering studies and analyses were directed toward determining the dredging characteristics of the Lake sediments and the engineering properties of the resulting hydraulic fills.
