ZH�awg Properlp 9J-11-10 Ererett, N'nshington coarse-grained, medium dense to dense sand.. This material was encowitered at a depth of approximately 3.0 to 4.0 feet below the existing ground surface in the area of the proposed residence. In all instances, ins•are that there is a minimum of 0.� feet of a free draining material similar to the on-site sands undemeath all � foundations to protect against uplift due to hydrostatic pressures. Additionally, all foundations should be place with a minimum setback of 5.0 feet from the edge of a slope. The Contractor should anticipate that difticult (hard) excavation conditions will exist when the cemented sands found within TP-2 are encountered. The allowable bearing pressure may be increased by up to 1/3 to accommodate transient or seismic loads. For frost protection, the base of exterior footings should be located a minimum depth of 18 inches below adjacent grades or to adequate bearing material as described above. Interior footings need only penetrate 12 inches below the surrounding ground level or to adequate bearing material as described above. We recommend that all footings have a minimum dimension of 16 inches. Foundation settlements will be closely related to the quality of the site earthwork and the degree that the native soils are disturbed. We estimate that total settlement of tlie foundation elements placed on properly prepared native soils should not exceed 3/4 of an inch, witli differential settlements of approximately 1/2 of that totaL It should be noted that actual settlements could increase if care is not eaercised during foundation construction. �� GES, /��c.
