4.6.11. Sedimentation and Erosion Control <br /> In our opinion, the erosion potential of the on-site soils is low to moderate. Construction activities <br /> including stripping and grading will expose soils to the erosion effects of wind and water.The amount and <br /> potential impacts of erosion are partly related to the time of year that construction actually occurs. Wet <br /> weather construction will increase the amount and extent of erosion and potential sedimentation. <br /> Erosion and sedimentation control measures may be implemented by using a combination of interceptor <br /> swales,straw bale barriers, silt fences and straw mulch for temporary erosion protection of exposed soils. <br /> All disturbed areas should be finish graded and seeded as soon as practicable to reduce the risk of <br /> erosion. Erosion and sedimentation control measures should be installed and maintained in accordance <br /> with the requirements of the City of Everett. <br /> 4.7. Pavement Recommendations <br /> 4.7.1.Subgrade Preparation <br /> We recommend the subgrade soils in new pavement areas be prepared and evaluated as described in <br /> "Earthwork Subgrade Preparation." of this report. All new pavement and hardscape areas should be <br /> supported on subgrade soils that have been proof rolled or probed; and approved by the geotechnical <br /> engineer. If the exposed subgrade soils are loose or soft, it may be,necessary to excavate localized areas <br /> and replace them with structural fill or gravel base course. Pavement subgrade conditions should be <br /> observed during construction and prior to placing the base course materials in order to evaluate the <br /> presence of zones of unsuitable subgrade soils and the need for over-excavation and replacement of <br /> these zones. <br /> 4.7.2.New Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavement <br /> In light-duty pavement areas (e.g., automobile parking), we recommend a pavement section consisting of <br /> at least a 3-inch thickness of/z-inch hot-mix asphalt (HMA) (PG 58-22) per WSDOT Sections 5-04 and <br /> 9-03, over a 4-inch.thickness of densely compacted crushed rock base course per WSDOT Section <br /> 9-03.9(3). In heavy-duty pavement areas (e.g.,truck traffic areas, materials delivery) around the building, <br /> we recommend a pavement section consisting of at least a 4-inch thickness of 1/2-inch HMA (PG 58-22) <br /> over a 6-inch thickness of densely compacted crushed rock base course. The base course should be <br /> compacted to at least 95 percent of the MDD (ASTM D 1557). We recommend that a proofroll of the <br /> compacted base course be observed by the geotechnical engineer of record prior to paving. Soft or <br /> yielding areas observed during proofrolling may require over-excavation and replacement with compacted <br /> structural fill. <br /> The pavement sections recommended above are based on our experience. Thicker asphalt sections may <br /> be needed based on the actual subgrade conditions,traffic data and intended use. <br /> 4.7.3.Portland Cement Concrete Pavement <br /> PCC sections should be considered for loading dock aprons, trash dumpster areas and where other <br /> concentrated heavy loads may occur. We recommend that these pavements consist of at least 6 inches <br /> of PCC over 6 inches of crushed surfacing base course. A thicker concrete section may be needed based <br /> on the actual traffic data. If the concrete pavement will have doweled joints, we recommend that the <br /> GEOENGINEERS� !UI' 2'2013 Page <br /> 16 <br /> Re ND.6839.01 a 10 <br />
