Supplementary recomniendaxions can then bn developed, if needad, to <br />improve stability, including flattening of slopes or installation of a�rface or aubsurfacs <br />drains. Water should not be ailowed to flow uncontralled over tt�e top of slopes. <br />All permanently exposed slopes should be seeded with an appropriate species of <br />vegetation to reduce erosion and improve stability of the surficial layer of s�il. <br />- . '.'_ <br />We do not expect the groundwater seepage will present major construction-related issues. <br />However, if seepage is encountered in foundation or grade beam excavations during <br />construct�on, the bottom of the excavation should be sioped to one or more shallow sump <br />pits. The collected water can then be pumped from these pits to a positive and <br />permanent discharge, such as a nearby storm drain. <br />During construction, the site must be graded such that surface water is directed off the <br />site. Water must not be allowed to stand in areas where buildinps, slabs or pavements <br />are to be constructed. Loose surfaces should be sealed at night by compacting the <br />surtace to reduce the potential for moisture infiltratfon into the soiis. <br />Final site grades must aliow for drainage away from the building foundations. The �round <br />should be sloped at a gradient of three percent for a distanca of at least ten feet away <br />from the buildings, except in paved areas, which can be sloped at a gradient of two <br />percent. <br />Footiny drains should be installed around the building perimeter, at or just below the invart <br />of the foating, with a gradient sufficient to initiate flow. A typical detail is provided on <br />Plate 7. Under no circumstances should roof downspout drain lines ba connected to tha <br />footing drain system. All roof downspouts must be separately t(yhtlined to dischar�e. <br />Cleanouts should be instailed at strategic locations to allow for periodic maintenance of <br />the footing drain and downspout tightline systems. <br />Erth Con�ult,nn, Mc. <br />
