Demolition and clearing beyond the improvement areas should be kept to a minimum. <br /> 4. Temporary silt fences should be provided along the lower margins of cleared/disturbed <br /> areas. <br /> 5. Temporary sediment catchment facilities should be cleaned out and maintained <br /> periodically, as necessary, to maintain their capacity and function. <br /> 6. Soils, which will be stockpiled at the site, should be stored in such a manner as to <br /> reduce erosion. Protective measures may include, but are not necessarily limited to, <br /> covering with plastic sheeting or the use of straw bales/silt fences. <br /> 7. 'temporary construction entrances should be constructed with quarry spalls or <br /> equivalent according to Snohomish County and City of Everett regulations. <br /> 7.0 STRUCTURAL. PILI. <br /> No major grade changes are anticipated at the site, and as such, the use of structural fill will be <br /> limited to minor grade changes for drainage, utility and vault backfill, and the removal of soft <br /> or yielding soils in parking lot areas. All references to structural fill in this report refer to <br /> subgrade preparation, fill type, placement, and compaction of materials as discussed in this <br /> section. In those areas where existing, uncontrolled, soft silty and/or organic fill is present, <br /> we recommend that it be removed, and where suitable, set aside for reuse in landscaping areas. <br /> Our recommendations for the placement of structural fill are presented in the following <br /> sections. <br /> 7.1 Fill Placement <br /> After stripping, planned excavation, and any required overexcavation have been performed to <br /> the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer/engineering geologist, the upper 12 inches of <br /> exposed ground should be recompacted to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum <br /> density using ASTM:D-1557 as the standard. If the subgrade contains too much moisture, <br /> adequate recompaction may be difficult or impossible to obtain and should probably not be <br /> attempted. In lieu of recompaction, the area to receive fill should be blanketed with washed <br /> rock, quarry spalls, or crushed recycled concrete to act as a capillary break between the new <br /> fill and the wet subgrade. Structural fill should be placed and compacted within 2 percent of <br /> the optimum moisture content. <br /> After compaction of the exposed ground is tested and approved, or a free-draining rock course <br /> is laid, possibly in conjunction with engineering stabilization fabric, structural fill may be <br /> placed to attain desired grades. Structural fill is defined as non-organic soil, acceptable to the <br /> November 28, 2005 ASSOCIATED JiAR771 SCl1iA('ES, INC. <br /> EG11d.KEW,42n2-1'm1rrtrn12WJ6021WWP Page 7 <br />
