GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY <br />Mr. Rick Remsing E-10558 <br />May 5, 2003 Page 3 <br />Laboratory Testing <br />Laboratory tests were conducted on several representative soil samples to verify or <br />modify the field soil classification and to evaluate the general physical properties and <br />engineering characteristics of the soil encountered. Visual field classifications were <br />supplemented by grain size analyses on representative soil samples. Moisture content <br />tests were performed on all samples. The results of laboratory tests performed on <br />specific samples are provided either at the appropriate sample depth on the individual <br />boring logs or on a separate data sheet contained in Appendix B. It is important to note <br />that these test results may not accurately represent the overall in -situ soil conditions. <br />ECI's geotechnical recommendations are based on our interpretation of these test results <br />and their use in guiding our engineering judgment. ECI cannot be responsible for the <br />interpretation of these data by others. <br />In accordance with our Standard Fee Schedule and General Conditions, the soil samples <br />for this project will be discarded after a period of fifteen days following completion of this <br />report unless otherwise directed in writing. <br />DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />General <br />Based on the results of this study, it is ECI's opinion the proposed residence and <br />driveway can be constructed generally as planned. Support of the residence may be <br />provided using conventional spread and continuous foundation systems bearing on <br />competent native soils. Slab -on -grade floors may be supported on the competent native <br />soils or on structural fill. <br />This report has been prepared for specific application to this project only and in a manner <br />consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the <br />profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area for the exclusive use <br />of Mr. Rick Remsing and his representatives. No warranty, expressed or implied, is <br />made. This report, in its entirety, should be included in the project contract documents <br />for the information of the contractor. <br />Earth Consultants, Inc. <br />
