Whib aite clearing will expose a larpe area of baro sol, <br /> the erosion potential or the site is relatively low due to the gentle slope of the pround. We <br /> aMidpata that a s�lt fence will be needod around the doYmslope side of any ckared ereas. Rodced <br /> eonahuction access roads should be extended iMo the site to reduce the amount of mud cartied off <br /> the prope�ty by trudcs and equipment Following rough grading, it may be necessary to muk:h or <br /> hydmaeed bare aroaa that will not be fmmediately covered with landscaping or an impervious <br /> surface. <br /> SE13M1C CONSfDERATIONS <br /> The site ia located within Seiamic Zone 3, as illuatrated on Flguro No. 18-2 of the 1997 Un'rform <br /> Building Code (UBC).
