This allows the undeflying soils to <br /> undergo some consolidation under the new soil loads before final grading is <br /> � �� accomplished. <br /> � • Connect ali in-ground uGlities beneath the 11oor slabs to the ple-sirpported floors or <br /> �� grade heams.

Based on our observatlons, the molstune cornents of the on-slte sllt sofls ere <br /> above the optimum moisture conlent. Ther�efore, �ese sik soils wfll be unstable under vehfde <br /> traffic and wlll 6e subject to pumpin9 under equlpment and compacted fills. k may be prudent to <br /> cover these solls With a layer of grenular (ctus►�ed rock) (�� � P�� mem ha�tt disturbance from <br /> vehicle and foot traffic. Due to the(r poa�compactaqllity and organlc conterit, !he on-site sply swls <br /> should not be reused as stnactural fill. Imported gr�nular Is recommended for all structurel fill on <br /> the project UUfity trench badcfill in structural ereas, such as pavements, should also :ansist of <br /> imported structura� fill. ImP�P� �mpaction of• bacldill in uG'tity trenches end around control <br /> structures Is e common reason for pavement�istress and failures. <br /> Due to the loose, near-surface soil condiUons, we recommend that asphalt paricing areas be <br /> supported on e miNmum 1-foot layer of imported granular sUuctural fill. Additional pavemerrt <br /> recommendatons are provided in the Pavemencqr�eas set�ion of this report. <br /> The erosion corn�ol measures needed during the site developmerrt will depend heavily on the <br /> weather condftions that are encountered. While site clearing will expose a latge area af bare soil, <br /> the erosion potential on the sice is relatively low due to the gentle slope ot tne ground. We <br /> anHcipate that a 'silt fence will be �ded around the downslope sldes of any deared areas. <br /> Rocked constructian access roads shoUld be extended into the site to reduce the amount of soil or <br /> mud carried off the proFerry bY tn�cks and equlpment. Wherever posslble, these roaQs should <br /> follow the alignment of pl.3nred pavemenis, and trucks should not be al�owed to drive off of the <br /> rock-covered areas. Existing catch basins (n, and tmmediately downslope of, the planned work <br /> areas shauld be protected with pre_manufadured sflt socks. Cut slopes and soll stockpiles should <br /> be covered with plastic during wet weather. Following rough grading, lt may be necessary to mulch <br /> or hydroseed bare areas thet will not be immadiately covered with landscaping or an impervtaus ' <br /> surface. AddiUonal erosion control measures may be required due to conditions encountered <br /> during construction. <br /> Geotec_�Consukant� Inc, should be allowed to review the final devolopmerrt olans to ve�Fv that the <br /> recommen�tions presertted m this o ade uately addressed In the deslgn, Such a plan <br /> review would be a ttional worlc beyond the cuRent scope o work for this stu y, and k may fnclude <br /> reyisions to our recommendations tc accommodate site, development, and geotech�ical <br /> constraints that hecome more evident du�ng ttte review process. <br /> We recommend including this repon, in its entirety, (n the project contract documents. <br /> \ <br /> GEOTECH CONSUlTM1TS, INC. <br />
