Gcotechnical Construction Monitoring Final Letter <br />Fox Residence Underpinning and Retaining Wall <br />April 24, 2013 <br />NGA File No. 8592B 13 <br />Inge 3 <br />results indicated 90 to greater than 95 percent compaction or better as determined by ASTM D-1557 <br />(Modified Proctor). In our opinion, the backfrll was well compacted, and the gcogrid was properly <br />placed. <br />During a follow up site visit on April 18, 2013, we discussed with you and your contractor that run-off <br />from the existing driveway should be collected in a new catch basin and routed into a dispersion trench, a <br />minimum of 16 feet long to be placed along the southern side of the dry well location. ']'he dispersal <br />trench should be setback a minimum of 20 feet from the steep west -facing slope below the backyard. We <br />also recommended placing jute netting and hydroseed on all exposed surfaces. We have not been to the <br />site since the 4118/13 visit, but we understand that our rcconuncndations for the dispersal trench and soil <br />coverings have been implemented. <br />Conclusions <br />Based on our part -tine observations it is our opinion that the earthwork activities nt this site, including <br />residence foundation underpinning, Ultra Block wall construction, drainage and structural tills were <br />prepared in general accordance with our recommendations and the approved plans. We recommend that <br />all erosion control and drainage systems be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. Slope and <br />vegetation management should be performed as recommended in our report and approved by the City. <br />We should be promptly contacted should any signs of distress be observed within the backyard or on the <br />slope. <br />0.0-0 <br />NELSON GEOTECHNICAL ASSOCIATES, INC, <br />
