Wc expcct U�at die installation of a cut- <br /> off drain along Uie cut slope mny reduce the water 4�ble a�ross the sile. <br /> Slope Stability <br /> Ceneral: Slandard recommcndations for fill slopes are: 1) 5lopes consirucled of structural fill should nol <br /> be steeper than a 2!I:1 V and lhe face of the slope compactcd. 2) Slopes consiructed of common Cills which <br /> contain some organics and are ligirtly compacted should not be stecper th.�n a 3H:IV. Most of the fill <br /> slopes on site are on the order of 3f1:IV and slightly stccper. These slopes aro not considered susceplible <br /> to dixp seatcd failures. Some shallow failures and sloughing could occur due to the organic content of the <br /> fill and ilu potcntial for ground water. M1tost oC these slopes are located off-site and in our opinion, except <br /> for tlie shallow sloughs�vhich would be mostly cosmelic should not impact thc sitc dcvelopment. <br /> Fill Slope: Tlie fill on Uie north ccntral portion of lhe slope is expecla! lo perfomi as discussed above. <br /> 'Ilie fill slope cxtcnds across thc property line into the neighboring property. 'flie buildings in this area will <br /> be foundcd on dcep foundations and would not be expected to be impacted by surfucinl movemcnts on the <br /> slope. <br /> Cut Slope: A hillside witli:m exposed face is located in lhe souilicrn portion of the site. 77ie steep portion <br /> of Uiis cxposal faccd is plaim�d �o bc cut back to a more slablc inclination. Tlic perma��ent slopc <br /> inclination should not be steeper lhan a 2H:IV. We expect the ouM�ash to erode due to the natu;: of the <br /> uniform non-cohcsivc sands. Thc cut slopc should bc vcgctatcd to rcducc surfacc crosion. We do not <br /> e�pect signifialnt faihires on this slope bu[some raveling:md erosion could cecur. We recommend that the <br /> structures be set back Gom die tce of U�e slope enougli ta allow equipment to access any material that may <br /> accunwlare at d�e tce oF die slope. 'fhe apparcnt setbacks sho���n on the plans of 25 feet should be more <br /> Uian cnough spacc to allow for cicaning. , <br /> Wc cxpect somc growid waler mny exist at thc tce of qie slope. Water seeping from the tce of thc slope <br /> oRcn c:m create instabilily and increasc the chance of small slough-t}Pe failures. Cut-of3 drains or rock <br /> bla�ilcets may be rcquired at the tce to reduce crosion, itsigns o(ground watcr arc obscrved. <br /> Rubble Fill: The nibble fill slopc is also considered stnble with respect to decp scated failures but su�cial <br /> failures could occur. Wc rccommend thc sa�ne typc of sctback as described above to allow for cleaning at <br /> thc tae of U�e slope in tlu event that sloughs or erosion cecurs. <br /> �lELSON-COUVRETTE& ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> �FB-23-1qa5 12;�� 2�E AHS 2510 <br /> g�,7; P.11 <br />
