We have provided recommendations to construct the buildings, roadways and de[cntion <br /> pond, duc to Uie dcpd�of the fill anJ existing slop�s. Foundations for the pl:uuicd structures should extend <br /> to Wc mcdium dense or better soils. VVe cxpcct that the foundalion ty�pcs«�II vary throughout U�e site due <br /> to thc depd� of the fill. 'ihe planned buildings may be supporteJ by piles, coirventional basemendreGlining <br /> walls,or conventional foundations support by control density fill. <br /> Thc most cconomical way to support thc roadwuy w�ould be to rcH•ork Wo upper 3 to 4 fcct as stn�ctural fill <br /> :uid accept future settlements of We ground surface due ro ilie existing underlying fill. Surface grades and <br /> gradients of gravity ulili[ies would necd to be acccntuatcd to compcnsate Cor Uiese Cuture settlements. Wc <br /> would cxpcct that the upper 3 to 4 feet would have to tre rcmovcd and rcplaced as d�e cxisting m�terial <br /> would be hard to compact:u structural fill. 'fliis upper fill�vould providc support of die pa��emcnt section <br /> and tcnd to smoot6 out We potc��tial futurc diEferenlial sctdcmcnts. The altcrnativc to acccpting the <br /> potential setUcments would be ta remove all of ilie fill under O�e road�cays nnd repince it with stniclural fill. <br /> We do not exprct Uiat option to be cconomically viable. <br /> lhe dctention pond should bc lina! wiUi n less pcnneable fill soil to reduce �vatcr intiltration into U�e <br /> surrounding soils. An altcmative would bc ro usc a s�md�etic lincr. Thc pond should be constructed by <br /> stripping otPof tLc existing fill do«�� to native benring soils in tlic are� oE tlie pl.vuicd bcrms. 'Ilic bcrtns <br /> should then be constructccl wilh a suitablc matcrial by wmpacting lo Q�c appropriate density. 11ie pond <br /> slope ;mglcs vid constniclion mcdiod should bc per}'omicd as outline in Qie Detenlion Pond subsection of <br /> Uiis rcport. <br /> Tlie c�isting drains, locatcd at thc bottom of the cut slope, should bc dug up to find out what they are <br /> (surfacc or subsurface drain) and if thcy arc «�orking.
