Grading operations will be difficult when the <br />moisture contant of these sails exceede the optimum <br />moisture cuntent. <br />Moisture sensitive soils may be susceptible t.o exceseive <br />softening and "pumping" from construction equipment <br />traffic when the moisture content is greater than the <br />optimum moisture content. <br />Structural fill which is to be placed in wet weather should <br />consist of a granular soil having no more than five (5) <br />percent silt or clay particles. The percentage of particles <br />passing the No.200 sieve shoeld be measured from that portion <br />of tFe soil passing the three-quarter-inch sieve. Granular <br />struccural fill will need to be placed under the driveway <br />pavemi�nt . <br />LIMITATIONS <br />The analyses, conclusions and recommendations contained in <br />this report are based on site conditions as they existed at <br />the time of our exploration and assume that the eoils <br />encountered in the test pits are representative of the <br />subsurface conditions of the site. If the subaurface <br />conditions encountered during constzuction are aignificantly <br />different from those observed in the explorations, we should <br />be advised at once so that we can review these conditions and <br />reconsider our recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated <br />noil conditions are commonly encountered on construction sites <br />and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking soil eamples <br />in test pits. Subsurface conditions can also vary between <br />exploration locations. Such unexpected conditions frequetitly <br />require that additional expenditures be made to attain a <br />properly conatructed project. It is recommended that the <br />owner consider providing a contingency fund to accommodate <br />such p�`.ential extra costa and risks. <br />This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Mike <br />Mastro, G& M Investments, and their representatives for <br />specific application to this.project and site. Our recommen- <br />dations and conclusions are based on the site materials <br />obaerved, and selecrive laboratory testing and engineering <br />analyses. The conclusions and recommendations are <br />pro`�ssional opinions derived in accordance with current <br />staitdards of practice within the scope of our services and <br />GEOT�;CH CONSULTANTS� INC. <br />
