The scope of our work consisted of exploring site surface and <br /> subsurface conditions, and then developing this report to provide recommendations for general <br /> , earthwork and design criteria for foundations, retaining walls, and pavements. You au:horized our <br /> , work by accepting our proposal, P-4042, dated October 24, 1997. <br /> The subsurface conditions of the proposed Village site were explored with seven test pits that <br /> • encountered one to 2 feet of topsoil and loose fill overlying native, gravelly, silty sands. The native <br /> sands became medium-dense to dense below a depth of one to 3 feet in the explorations. Due to <br /> the potential for noticeable differential foundation settlement to occur at this site, conventional <br /> footings used to support the buildings should all bear on competent, undisturbed, native soils or on <br /> no more than 5 feet of structural fill. This will require extending columns and v��alls, then filling <br /> under the slab areas. The extensive cutting and filling necessary tc grade the site will only be <br /> possible during dry weather. The silty, moisture-sensitive soils will not be compactible for structural <br /> fill in wet conditions. <br /> The attached report coniains a discussion of the study and our recommendations. Please contact <br /> us, if there are any questions regard;ng this report or if we can be of further assistance during ihe <br /> design and construction phases of this project. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC. <br /> ��� � �� <br /> Marc R.
