How�ver, if <br /> seepage is encountered in foundation or grade heam excavations durinfl constructlon,the <br /> bottom of the excavatlon should be sloped to one or more shallow sump plts. The <br /> collected water can then he pumpcd from these pits to a positive and permane�t <br /> discharfle, such as a nearby storm drain. <br /> Ourinq construction, the site must be graded such that surfaco water is diracted off the <br /> slte. Wator must noc be allowed to stand in any area where bulldfngs, slabs or pavements <br /> are to be constructed. loose surfaces shouid ba sealed at night by compacting the <br /> surface to reduce the potential for moisture inflltration into the soils. <br /> Final site grades must allow for drainage away from the huilding foundations. The ground <br /> should be sloped at a �r8dient of three percent for a distance of at least ten f8et away <br /> from the buildinc�s, except in paved areas, which can be sioped at a flradient of two <br /> ' percent. <br /> � Footinfl drains should he Installed around the bullding perimeter, at or just below the invert <br /> of the footinc�, with a gradient sufficient to initiate flow. A tYpical detail is provided on <br /> Plate 2. Under no circumstances should roof downspout drain lines be connected to the <br /> fovting drafn system, All roof downspouts must bc separately tightllned to discharge, <br /> Cleanouts should be Installed at strategic locations to ailow for periodle maintenance ot <br /> the footing drain and downspout tlghtlins systems. <br /> p�vemen�eas <br /> The adequacy of sito �avements is related in part to the condition of the underlying <br /> subgrade. To providv a properly prepared subgrade for pavements, the subgrade should <br /> be treated and prepared as described in the Slte Preparation sectlon of this roport. This <br /> means at le�st the top twelve 1121 inches of the subgrade should be ogg bpe that some <br /> porcent of the maxirnum dry density Iper ASTM D-1557-781� It is p <br /> localized areas of soft, wet or unstable subgrade may still exlst afte� thls process, <br /> Therefore, a �reator thickness of structural fill or crushed rock rnay 0e needed to stahilize <br /> these localized areas. <br /> Euth Camultenl�.
