A layer of n�n-woven <br />�ilter fabric liner, such as Mirafi 140NS or approved equal, should be tacked onto the <br />back of the lagging boards to retain soil while allowing water ta flow through. Voids, if <br />any, behind the lagging boards should be filled with clean free-draining coarse sand and <br />tamped to have a tight contact with the lagging boards. <br />BUILDING FOUNDATIONS <br />Conventional fooiing foundations may be used to support the proposed new residences. <br />�_•; 'xC� _::+.L r��. .a � 3, �.,i.� l-,� �-r,•-cj~�ir,#Prl t-i� 3?T 1TifO t�'l� lllCli�teil�Tll1a9 har�i clayey silt <br />_.... .._ �., .__.... _ . . , <br />soil and/ar medium-dense advance outwas� sand depc�si�, or oi� s�ru�cu�a� i�ill �laced over <br />these competent basal soils.
