We underetand <br /> that the concrete rubble and much of the fill on the alope are <br /> producte of a previoue� unsucceseful attempt to build on the <br /> site. Well developed eroaion rills mark the slope face direct- <br /> ly below the propoaed construction area. <br /> At the time o£ our study� excavation for the atructure had been <br /> atarted on the upper, gently sloping portion of the property. <br /> Earth cuta of as much as five (5) feet were observed. <br /> During the excavation of our test pita at Ileast two (2) epi- <br /> sodes of artificial fi71 ing were revealed. The youngest unit <br /> was £ound to have a thickness of three (3) feet in those areas <br /> sampled, and is believed to be associated with the previous <br /> construction activity and the subsequent razing of the unsuc- <br /> ceasful foundation system. The source of the underlying older <br /> fill material is unclear, but may be related to the early stages <br /> o£ develpoment within the immediate area. The depth of the <br /> older fill unit ranged £rom 2.7 to 4.7 feet in those areas sam- <br /> pled. <br /> A typical existing slope angle of 36° was observed. No indica- <br /> tions of substantial slope distress were noted within the sur- <br /> ficial fill or naturally occurring soila at the aite or in areas <br /> ad�acent. <br /> STRATIGRAPHY <br /> The dense naturally occurring soils encountered at depth with- <br /> in the eite are considered to be products of late Pleistocene <br /> glacial activity.
