Typically, a <br /> minimum first IiR lhiclmess of 2 feet is placcd over the geotextile or rock. We recommend►hnt Uic need for <br /> this tyPe of wnstruction and die depdi oCoverexcavstion:+nd the diickness of tcek be evaluated at the timc <br /> of construction. <br /> Prior to paving, the subgrade should bc proofrallcd witl�a hc�vy tubber-tired piece of cquipment to idcntify <br /> soR or }�ielding arcas that require repair. We should be retained to obscrve the proofrolling prior to <br /> placement of Uie asphalt or hard surfaa:s. If surfice or subgrnde conditions become tmsuiG�ble due to <br /> weaUier wnditions or othcr factors, repairs or a layer of asphalt treatecl baso (A'CB) may be required ovcr <br /> the subgrade prior to aspl�alt pla�ement. "Ilic ground water Wble should not ctTbct roadway subgrade <br /> widiin the sile, provideJ adequate drainngc and dcwatcring,where necess�+ry, is perfortned. <br /> Excavation Considerntions <br /> Stability of open excavation cuts wilhin die sloping portions of the site during construction, will depcnd on <br /> the naturc and consistcucy of thc nntumlly occurring soils, as well u die prescncc of ground water scepage <br /> and nmoR: 'Ilic following temporary cut slopes �re cxpectcd to be appropriate for U�eir respective soil <br /> t�•pcs: <br /> 2.OH to 1 V for loose cxisting fill:u�d sur}ace soils <br /> I.SH to 1 V for mcdium dense or bctter fill and Qva <br /> .75H to 1 V for dcnsc or 6ctter Qtb and Qvl�vith cut heights up to 12 fect <br /> Ample slope protection and mainten;uicc sliould be uscd during construction. Because oF the many <br /> variables inaolved,tl�e above values should bc considercd generol guidclines. <br /> Struclurnl Fill <br /> Ccneral: All fill placed bencath buildings, pavements, or other settlement sensitive features should be <br /> placcd as structural fill. Structural fill, by dcfinition, is placcd in accordancc with prescribcd mcthods and <br /> su+ndards, and is monitored by an experienced grnteclmical professional or soils tcchnician. Field <br /> monitoring procedures would include the performance of a represenlntivn numbrr of in-place density tests <br /> to document thc attaiiunent of U�e desircd dcgrce oCrelativc compaction. 71ie arca to receive ilie rll should <br /> bc prcparcd as outlined in Uie Site Preparalion and General Eerthwork subseclion. <br /> NELSON-COUVRETTE&ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> r-r�-a:- i��r, �z:n�� 2rr ���+i zsir� 46z �.is <br />
