promote drainage of surface water. Fill volume estimates to achieve proposed site grades should include <br /> an allowance for the anticipated settlement. <br /> Estimated Preload Settlement Magnitudes <br /> Preloading and surcharging the proposed building footprints will induce significant settlement immediately <br /> below the preloaded areas with decreasing settlement from the edge of the preload out laterally a distance <br /> of about 15 feet. We anticipate negligible settlement beyond 15 feet from the preloaded stockpiles. <br /> Estimates of the quantity of settlement were developed using the settlement analysis software Settle3D <br /> (version 4.010), available subsurface information and assumed soil properties based on correlations for <br /> water content and limit properties.Settlement estimates for each preload area are summarized below: <br /> Soil Storage Shed <br /> Estimated settlement under the planned west soil remediation storage shed is difficult to determine based <br /> on past material stockpiles in these areas. However, we estimate additional settlement under a 30-foot <br /> preload/surcharge may be on the order of approximately 3 to 5 inches in this area. Based on a review of <br /> historic site imagery, it appears that this area has been previously loaded in some areas by asphalt <br /> stockpiles up to 20 feet high. However, the location of past stockpiles likely did not cover the planned <br /> building footprints to the extent needed. <br /> Solt Remedlation Plant and Storage Bul►ding <br /> We estimate settlement to be on the order of approximately 4 to 10 inches under a 30-foot-high <br /> preload/surcharge. The load at the southern end of the building will be much less where the soil <br /> remediation plant is planned and a smaller surcharge could be used in this area if desired. We suggest a <br /> minim surcharge height of 10 feet for the south half of this storage shed. However,we recommend that the <br /> northern half of the building footprint be preloaded/surcharged up to 30 feet high due to the planned soil <br /> stockpile in this area. Based on a review of historic site imagery, it appears that the southwest portion of <br /> this soil remediation plant shed footprint has been previously loaded by asphalt stockpiles although the <br /> historic heights of the stockpiles are not known. <br /> Recycled Asphalt Product Storage Bullding <br /> We estimate settlement to be on the order of approximately 6 to 9 inches under the recommended 30 feet <br /> of preload/surcharge fill on the footprint for the proposed recycled asphalt product storage building. This <br /> estimated settlement range depends on the thickness of compressible soil underlying the building footprint <br /> and assumes that this location has not been previously loaded with material stockpiles.We anticipate that <br /> approximately half of the estimated settlement to occur immediately after the preload/surcharge is <br /> constructed and the other half will occur in primary consolidation during the preload program. Some <br /> secondary settlement may occur due to the decaying wood-waste observed in a nearby boring.Our analysis <br /> suggests that the existing Everett Engineering building will not be impacted by the proposed recycled <br /> asphalt building loading conditions.We anticipate about 1 inch of settlement at a distance of about 5 feet <br /> from the edge of the building footprint and about 1/2-inch of settlement at a distance 15 feet from the edge <br /> of the building footprint. <br /> Estimated Preload Settlement Rates <br /> The estimated time for the settlement to occur is 12 to 16 weeks, but the actual duration of preloading <br /> should be based on settlement plate readings. The thicker compressible silt layers will require more time <br /> to consolidate and will likely be on the 16-week end of this range. <br /> GWENGINEERS� August3,2018 Page9 <br /> File No.0643-015-00 <br />
