� Intracorp July 16, 1998 � E-3532-620 Page 3 The fill was placed over a deposit of maderately compressible silt and clay. In order to evaivate the settlement induced by the fill, settlement monitors were placed prior to fill placement and �ronitored on a periodic basis. A graph of our settlement monitor measurements are included as the attached Plates 3 through 6. The amount of settlement induced by the weight of the fili ranged from just under one to slightly mare than two and one-half feet. At this time, in our opinion the settlement is completed and buildinp constructian may commence. , �.,: : There are no indications of groundwater seepage at the site. As site grades were raised thirty (30) to forty (40) feet, we wouid not anticipate groundwater wiil result in major construction related issues. However, the contractor should be made aware that groundwater conditions can change. Perched groundwater may collect in the fill used to raise site grades. Seepage may fluctuate depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the water level is higher and seepage rate is greater in the wetter winter months ltYpically October through May1. • • •.� ; •uu .�_l�. General � 8ased on the results of our study, it is our opinion the site can be developed generally as planned. In our opinion, building support can be provided using conventional spread and continuous footing foundation systems supported on the structural fill used to raise site grades. Slab-on-grade floors may be similarly supported. As part of our study, we conducted a reconnaissance of the west slope. We observed some indications of past instability, including debris 'flow scarps and chutes and indications of downslope creep in the vegetation. However, none of these features appears to be recent or active.
