It is important that the <br />trench be kept pumped down at all times prior to backfilling. <br />! The trench should be backfilled with river run cobble or sound four <br />' (4) inch quarry rock. The backfilling may be performed in one lif-t, <br />( with the material keyed into place by hard t-amping with a backhoe <br />bucke t. <br />� The sump may continue to be utilized as a collection point for the <br />Idiversion of surface runoff for the remainder of the earthwork. <br />� <br />Footing Areas <br />To reduce the effects of potential differential settlements within <br />the foundation area due to structural fill consolidation, all foot- <br />ing areas not underlain by the Lootinq trenr.h should be overexca- <br />vated a minimum of eighteen (18) inches below the base of footing or <br />to the dense glacial till soil, which ever is greater. This excava- <br />tion may be performed in conjunction with the subslab soil prepara- <br />tion. To backfill the footing areas to the base cf footing eleva- <br />tion, refer to the section on Structural Fill. <br />Lean Mix Backfill <br />As an alternative to placing footings on structural fill in conjunc- <br />tion with the previously discussed Trench - Bacl:fill, a lean mix <br />concrete may be utilized to transfer structural loads to suitable <br />bearing soils. This may be accomplished in much the same manner as <br />the "trench - backfill" sfstem as previously mentioned excepting <br />that the trench should be a minimum of twenty-four (29) inches in <br />width. All other recommendations should be complied with. This <br />i <br />
