BGC, plic wi11 be available to provide geotechnical <br /> engineering special inspections during the development of the project and will address any <br /> unandcipated geotec6nical conditions should they occur. <br /> Site Preparstion <br /> Site preparation for conswcdon of the planned new dcvelopment will consist of removal of the <br /> existing vegetation from the building area. Othcr than thc largc trces that may need to bc removed <br /> as part of future landscaping plans,the remaining vegelation ou�side of the building envelopc should <br /> be left intact until atter the foundation construction to providc erosion control cover during <br /> development. Soil from the foundation excavation area that will nol be used as backfill should be <br /> removed from the site or may be placod as landscaping fill around thc perimcter of the devclopment <br /> area. All 611 soil placed should be placed on horizontal benches cut into the stop�, g ground. <br /> Temporary cut slopes into the modium dense fill soils and dense sand for installation of thc <br /> foundation should be slopcd back to a l II:I V inclination. For all utility excavations decper than 4 <br /> fcct should usc a trench shield or also be sloped back during installa�'on. Cut slope inclinations may <br /> be adjusted in thc field to suit thc weather and soil wnditions at t6e time of excavation. Soil to be <br /> re-used onsitc should bc covcred with plestic shecting to rcducc the potential for erosion and <br /> sedimcnt transport and to maintain the water content of the excavated soil. <br /> Foundatioos <br /> Sprcad footing fowdations muy be usc� for fo�mdetion support of the planned additions to thc singlc <br /> family residencc. M allowable foundation hearing capacity of 2500 pounds per square foot may bc <br /> used for spread footings set to bear on the dcnse advance outwash sand sediments. A short term <br /> incrcase of one•third mey be used for wind, snow,or seismic loads. In order to key the foundation <br /> into lhe slopc, all footing shall bc excavated a minimum of 4 feet below current gra�fes to set the <br /> base of thc footin�a minimum of 2 fcet into thc dcnse sand. Anticipated settlement of the <br /> foundations placed as described should be las,s than 1 inch. BGC,pllc perform a foundation soil <br /> bcaring cvaluation prior to placing foundntion concretc to verify that the prepared f�oting subgrade <br /> complies with the recommendations in this rcport. <br /> I.atcrul loads will be resisted by friction betwecn the foundation and the supporiing soils, and/or by <br /> passivc carth pressurc actin�on thc buricd �rtions of lhe foundutions.
