Loose topsoil, fill and weathered should be completely siripped within the <br />Uuilding pad and in areas subject to traffic and structural ]oad. The exposed soils should be <br />compactcd to a non-yiclding statc with � vibratory compactor. <br />7'hc on-site soils contain a high perccntagc of fincs amd �rc very sensitivc to moisture. A layer of <br />clean c�uarry spalls should be pinced ovcr excavated �reas und areas of frequent traCfic, as <br />requirccl, lo protcct the subgrade soils from disturbance by construction traffic. Silt fences <br />should bc crcctcd along thc downslopc boundarics of the sitc to prevent sediments bcing <br />transporled onto adjoining properties or the slrcel.
