This includes the azea <br /> between the top of 40%n slopc line and the top oP fill line shown on Fi�ure Z. After rcgrading <br /> the stecp face of thc fill soils within thc setback buffer to a 3H:1 V (33 percent) slope, the <br /> regraded arca will also mcet thc critcria for an erosion hazard area. The regraded arca will <br /> not extend bcyond thc setback buffcr describcd above and shown in Pigurc 2. It is our <br /> opinion that no additional setback bufPcr from this erosion hazard arca is necessary,and that <br /> the reconunended sctback buffcr,togethcr with uppropriate construction procedures,proper <br /> drainage and crosion conVols, and prompt rcvcgctation will adequatcly protect both thc <br /> proposcd devclopment and the critical arca. <br /> SITE PREPARATION AND EARTHWORK <br /> Wc recommend Ihat all sod, organic soil, fill and debris be removed from setdement <br /> sensitive areas (c.g., building, pavcment and slab areas). The subgradc surtace in slab and <br /> pavemcnt areas should be proof-rolled with heavy rubbcr-tircd equipmcnt after cxcavating <br /> to the dcsircd grade. Thc nu�posc of the proof-rolling is to bring the necu�-surfacc soils to a <br /> uniform dcnsity and to identify any loose areas which mi�h�rcquirc recompaction or removal <br /> and replaccmcnt with st�vchiral fill. <br /> Temporary cut slopes �aithin the medium dense or deese native soils may be inclined as <br /> stecplyas I I-I:I V and,e�cept forminorsloughing,can Uc expected ro stand at that inclination <br /> for a period of sevcral wceks il'protccted from drying and erosion. Thc lower portion of cut <br /> slopes in densc native soils may bc cut vcrtic:�lly up to a maximum oP 4 feet in height if <br /> approved by us bascd on observations during excavation. Temporaq�cut slopcs in existing <br /> loosc or fill soils may bc inclined as steeply as I.SH:1 V if protectcd from drying and crosion; <br /> this may be incrcased to I F L•t V for medium dense or dense�II soils iC approved by us based <br /> on observations during eecavation. Protection from drying applies to natural soil moisture <br /> only; watcr should not be added to tcmporary cut slopes ro impro��e stability. Pcnn:mcnt fill <br /> slopes should be inclincd no stecper than 31-L•t V. <br /> STRUCTURAL FILL <br /> t\II new fill in setUement-sensiti��r :ueas should be placed :�s compacted structural fill <br /> uftcr thc sitc has been prcpamd as describcd abovc. All structural fill material should be Gec <br /> of dcbris, organic contaminants and rock fra;mcnts largcr than 6 inchcs. The suitability o[ <br /> material for use as strucwral fill will depend on the gradation nnd moisture content of the ` <br /> soiL As thc .unount of fines (material passin; No. 200 sicve) increases, soil becomes <br /> 7505 West Lake Sammamish Parkway NoA�ieast Redmond,Washington 98052 425•882-4850 wWw.tubbs.Com � I� <br />
