This would consist of stripping of the <br />surficial fill and topsoils (about 2 to 5 feet thick) down to the suitable <br />native soils, and replacement up to desired finish subgrade with structural <br />fill. Pavement could then De placed upon the prepared area using conventional <br />crushed rock base and asphaltic surfacing. Alternatively. the existing fitl <br />could De compacted as we11 as possible at proposed subgrade elevation, and the <br />conventional crushed rock base and asphaltic surfacing placed. If this <br />alternative is utilized, future repair to the pavement surface may be <br />necessary, due to long term, sporadic consolidation and settlement expected <br />within the fill materials. <br />Structural fill placed within the site area should be placed upon a prepared <br />subgrade. The subgrade should be free of all organic, loose and wet soils, <br />and in a dense unyielding state prior to olacement of the structural fill. Ne <br />suggest the structural fill consist of granular, pit-run type soils, generally <br />approved for use in the area. The structural fi11 should be placed in 6 to 8 <br />inch lifts, and compacted to 95% of ASTM D-1557, modified proctor within <br />structure areas, and to 90% of ASTM 0-1557. modified proctor within pavement <br />areas. Al1 structural fill should be placed at or within 2� of o�timum <br />moisture content. <br />Additional Notes <br />Earthwork development within the site area, including excavations, strurtural <br />filling, foundation placement and drainage should be observed and approved by <br />the geotechnical consultant. <br />Although we do expect site soil types, conditions and distributions to reflect <br />our findings, some variations could occur. Should conditions other than those <br />discussed herein be encountered, the geotechnical consultant should De <br />notified for review and comment. Additional or alternative recomnendations <br />may be required. <br />
