If slopes of this inclination, or tlatter, cannot be constructed, or if excavations <br /> greater than four feet in depth are required, temporary ahoring may be necessary. 7'his <br /> � shoring wi11 help protect against slope or excavation rnllapse, and will provide protection to <br /> workmen in the excavation. If temporary shoring is required, we will be available to provide <br /> geotechnical shoring design criteria, if requested. <br /> � All permanent cut and fill slopes should be inclined no steeper than 1.SH:1V. These P' : <br /> recommendations are appl;cable to slopes with a maximum height of ten feet. If higher <br /> � slopes are anticipated, we should be contacted for the appropriate design and construction <br /> criteria. <br /> � We also rernmmend that all excavated slopes be examined at the time of construction by <br /> ECI's representative to verify that cunditions are as anticipated. Supplementary <br /> I recommendations can then be developed, if needed, to enhance stabiliry. Such measures can <br /> � include, but not necessarily be limited to, flattening of alopes ore installation of surface or <br /> subsurface drains, In any case, water should not be allowed to flow uncontrolled over the <br /> top of any slopes.
