The proposed improvement area was in the process or being rough graded at the time of our fieldwork and was relatively level. The proposed improvement area is bordered to the north by an approximately 40 foot liigl� southeast and southwest-facing 2H:1 V(Horizontal:Verticaq slope that e;ctends from the edge of the site to the top of a southwest trending ridgeline tc the nurth of tlie site. Based on information provided by tlie client, the ascending slope thai borders tlie proposed improvement area is comprised of existing fill that was removed from a nearby sand and gravel mining operation, �Ne understand the fill previously covered the proposed improvement area between the existing slope and the edge of the adjacent roadways tl�at border the site. We further understand that, until recer'iy, the proposed improvement area had been covered by up to approximately 40 feet of fill tliat had been in place for at least 6 years or more. � At the time of our site visit the ascending slopes outside the proposed improvement area appeared to be in good condition with no apparent indications of widespread erosion or sloughing. � 1 �� i � At tlie time oi our field exploration, the proposed development area contained little to no vegetation.
