Based on the subsurface conditions encountered at the boring locations, the site <br /> is underlain by younger alluvium (Qyal) deposits consisting primarily of silt and sands that are <br /> dense to very dense and in a moist to wet condition. Groundwater seepage was reported at <br /> depths of 3 to 14 feet below existing grades, and should be expected during construction <br /> activities depending on the time of year they take place. <br /> Based on the results of our study, the foundations for the proposed residential buildings should <br /> be supported on at least two feet of structural fill following the successful completion of a <br /> surcharge or preload program. Consolidation settlement is to be expected with site <br /> improvements, including foundations, retaining walls, utility trenches, and other necessary <br /> elements. The recommended use of a preload or surcharge program and appropriate <br /> settlement mitigation measures are primarily due to the highly..compressible nature of the on- <br /> site fill and younger alluvium deposits. <br /> This report provides recommendations for settlement mitigation, grading, foundation <br /> preparation, drainage; pavement sections, and other project-specific geotechnical <br /> recommendations. We appreciate the,opportunity to be of service to you on this project: If you <br /> have questions regarding the content of this geotechnical evaluation, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> EARTH SOLUTIONS NW, LLC <br /> il <br /> i a1U <br /> Kev- D.
