These utilities may <br />need to be anchored to the slope by U-shaped 94 rebar driven a minimum 18" into the slope. <br />We recommend that all utility backtill consist of clean, granular structural fill placed per the <br />recommendations contained in NO lion 4.3, Structural Fill, of this report or other as approved by GES, <br />Inc. at the time of construction <br />4.6 Foundation Placement and Design Recommendations <br />We recommend that all foundation loads be carried upon undisturbed or slightly weathered Transitional <br />Bed (Q1b) soil found at an approximate base elevation of el. 172.5 during our site investigation. Based on <br />our site investigation, we believe that it is possible that these bearing soils will rise in elevation to the <br />west and south as the overlying uncontrolled fill materials are removed from within the building envelop <br />excavation area. However, this is unknown and will have to be confirmed by GES, Inc. during foundation <br />excavation. Foundation excavation should carefully follow all pertinent recommendations contained in <br />section 4.4 Cuts and Excavations of this report. <br />Transitional Bed (()Ih) soil is described as gray brown, slightly mottled, somewhat massive, very fine- to <br />medium -grained sandy silt to silt with occasional lenses of fine-grained sand. Do too higher than <br />acceptable differential seltlement potentials, we recommend that building foundations not be supported <br />upon the overlying uncontrolled till that covers a significant portion of this site. All foundation elements <br />should be supported upon Transitional lied (UIh) and/or Controlled Density Fill (CDF) if the CDF <br />extends a oliniMUm G" beyond foundation elements in all directions. In some instances, especially where <br />ground water seepage has been encountered, foundation elements may be supported upon 2"4" crushed <br />rock. The crushed rock must extend a minimum 18- beyond foundation elements in all directions. In all <br />instances GES, Inc. should confirm bearing Soil fin foundation support and where necessary, confirm <br />with the contractor the type of fill to be placed and used for foundation support in each different <br />foundation area. Non compliance with this recommendation could result in the removal of the fill and its <br />replacement under controlled conditions upon confirmation by GES, Inc.
