Lum Elementary Map
Map of Soil Sample Sites at Lum Elementary School

The first soil sample at Lum was taken where the new building was to be constructed. When that sample showed that the area could be subject to significant liquefaction, AUSD ordered the engineers to sample four more areas on the campus. All of the samples came back with the same result. This map shows the site of all five borings.
