DAVID L. NELSON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> Cansulting Engincering Geulugy <br /> December 5, 1987 <br /> � Project No. 14187 <br /> ' Page 2 <br /> sharply over a top-of-slope t� the northeast. A utility line easement occurs <br /> along the northerly side of the lot, which consists of an existing sanitary <br /> sewer line. Vegetation within the proposed development (level) portion cf the <br /> lot consists of scattered evergreen trees and grass. Vegetation within the <br /> steep slope area consists of underbrush and grass, with all trees removed. <br /> Soils Conditions <br /> Although no specific exploration was performed within this lot area, several <br /> exposures of the underlying soils conditions were available for us to observe. � <br /> Additionally, we have performed exploration within the lot area irt�mediately to � <br /> the north, and have reviewed the general soils report for the Edgemore Heights � <br /> I� plat area. We fcund the area to be underlain by grey-brown to grey, medium � <br /> � dense to dense, �eorly sorted silty sand with gravel, considered to be well I <br /> � consolidated glacial soils. Just downslope, the materials become much more <br /> � sandy and somewhat less compact, indicating them to be glacial outwash soils. ' <br /> The surficial soils within the proposed residence area appears to consist of � <br /> 0.5 feet of topsoil , underlain by 1.5-2.0 feet of brown loose silty sand with ' <br /> roots, underlain by about 1.0 foot of grey-brown medi�... dense gravelly silty <br /> sand, which overlies the dense basal glacial soils. Some artificial fill can <br /> be found within the area of the existing sanitary sewer line easement, <br /> probably derived from placement and filling of the utility line. <br /> Hydrologic Conditions I <br /> The ground water table was not encountered within the site area, bu', some ' <br /> outcropping ground water can be seen downslope. This outcropping ground water I <br /> does not appear to be derived from on-site. Some �urface water ponding and <br /> flowing over the top-of-slope was observed. This is considered normel where <br /> dense, relatively impermeable glacial soils occur near surface, and surface <br /> waters do not readily penetrate, but run laterally downslope. <br />
