The Esperance sand soil is of moderately high to high permeability. <br /> Therefore, disposal of stormwater onsite by infiltration is feasible. <br /> • <br /> Site Preparation and General Grading <br /> Vegetation within construction limits should be cleared and grubbed. Existing structures <br /> to be demolished should.also have their foundations removed. Topsoil and unsuitable <br /> weathered soil should be completely stripped within the building pads and in areas subject <br /> to traffic and•structural load. The exposed soils should be compacted to a non-yielding <br /> state with a vibratory mechanical compactor and proof-rolled with a piece of heavy <br /> earthwork equipment. <br /> Temporary Drainage and Erosion Control <br /> The site is mantled by layers of topsoil and weathered soil with a high percentage of fines <br /> and these soils are moisture sensitive.- These weak surficial soils can-be easily.disturbed <br /> and cause construction complications when saturated. A layer of clean, 2-to-4-inch <br /> quarry spills should be placed over areas of frequent traffic, such as the entrance to the <br /> site, as required, to protect the subgrade soils from disturbance by construction traffic. <br /> Silt fences should be installed along the downhill sides of construction areas to minimize <br /> transport of sediments onto neighboring properties, the steep slopes, or the streets. The <br /> bottom of the filter'cloth of silt fences should be anchored in a trench filled with onsite <br /> soil. <br /> LIU. & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
