JRN-22-9E_ JTRI 14:2.0 <br />If <br />` DAVID L. NELSON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />Consulting Engineering Geology <br />October 10, 1990 <br />"out No. 9490 <br />" 4 <br />the site is stable with respect to deep seate4 slides. The steeper gradients <br />on site could be susceptible to shallow sloughing failures da+nelope, if <br />ground water seepage (springs) Nara to occur in this vicinity. provisions for <br />maintaining existing slope stability, including drainage control, earthwork <br />(filling and grading) control and structure placemwit, are presented herein to <br />reduce potential risk of slope failures. Landslide hazard within this area is <br />eoosidered low, particularly if the leaxmmendatiens presented in the previous <br />geotecWcal evaluation report are followed. <br />Springs!tiround water Seepage Areas <br />Phase two elements mentioned in the new ordinance are similar conditions, <br />which are discvmaed together in this letter. During our &valuation of the <br />site, we obaerved the surface areas for springs and seeps, and observed our <br />backhoe exploration (test) pits for grvund water seepage conditions. <br />We did not encounter any evidence of springs or soaps within the site slap <br />the easterly slope. we did observe evidence of seepage along the northerly <br />steep cut slope of Teeple Drive, and donmslope of the site to the east. this <br />would indicate that ground water does occur within the area, but as interflow <br />and perched water within the surf icial sandy soils and above the relatively <br />impermeable glacial till and/or interglacial silts. where excavations occur <br />(such as Teeple Drive) and they intersect this perched water, ground water <br />seepage, or springs, may occur. Our discussions and recvmemdations in the <br />prnevioun gooterhnical report present methods of mitigation of any perched or <br />seepage waters encountered during conslxvction. <br />Springs are not observed within the easterly, sloping portion of the property <br />perhaps due to reduced perched water, or that no excavations occur within this <br />area. The springs noted downelope of the s9te are expected to be the <br />clevatiena at which the perched water intersects the ground surface. <br />Steep slopes Associated with The Above Elements <br />7!e new ordinance states that steep slopes are those at 25 pervent or greater. <br />
