�DRA►FT <br /> As mentioned previously, we recommend that the surHcial 2 to 3 feet o(the weathered zone <br /> be reserved for use with a topsoil mix, or removed from the site. Alternati�ely, if the organics <br /> aze screencd from this zone, a�d if the soil is moisture conditioned, this soil will also be suitable <br /> for use as swcturai fill during the drier season. <br /> Strippinp end Ezcavation <br /> We recommend that all uec stumps, root balls, brush, grazs and significant vegetation be <br /> removed from the pavement azea. 'Ibe ezpected depth of stripping wi11 be variable across the <br /> site, ranging from a th[n layer of moss or grazs w a thick layer (2 W 3 feu) of forest duff and <br /> root zone. Stripped material should be removed from the site or used in iandscaping areas. <br /> Topsotl Reserve <br /> A portion of the weathered glacial till can be stripped and stockpiled for use as topsoil and <br /> planting soil. A mi�c design might be required to enhance this soil before it is suitable for topsoil. <br /> Subgrade Preparation and Fill Placement <br /> We recommend that a member of our staff visually evaluate ihe exposed subgrade after <br /> stripping is completed end prior to placing any fill. 7'he ezposed subgrade should be proofrolled <br /> with heavy rubber-tired conswccion equipment during dry weather. During wet weather, the <br /> suitability of the ezposed subgrades should be visually evaluated by a member of our staff. Any <br /> soft, lose or otherwise unsuitable azeas identified should be recompacted if practical, or removed <br /> and replaced with stcuctural fill. <br /> Where 12 inches or less of site grade fill will be placed over the ezposed subgrade within <br /> pavement areas, we recommend that the esposed subgrade soils be rolled with a smooth�rum <br /> vibratory roller such that at Icast 95 percent of the maximum dry density az established by the <br /> ASTM D-1557 test procedure is achieved. If the subgrade soil is too wet to respond to <br /> compaction and aeration is not possibie, we recommend that an additional 1 foot of the native <br /> soils be removed and replaced with swctural fill, or as recoaunEnded by our site representative. <br /> Some limited arcas of additional overezcavation may be necessary if the exposed soils become <br /> saturated. <br /> We recommend that fill in the pazling areas be placed and compacted as strucmral fiil. The <br /> fill should be placed in horizontalliRs not exceeding 10 inchcs in loose thic�ess. Each lift must <br /> be thoroughly and uniformly compacted to the recommended standazd. Structural fill piaced up <br /> to a depth of 2 feet below tlie pavemeot section should be compacted co 90 percent of the <br /> maxitr;um dry density. The upper 2 feet of pavement subgrade should be compacted to 95 <br /> percent of the maximum dry density. In areaz where buildings might be constructed in the <br /> future, we recommend the entire dep�h of fill be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum <br /> dry dentity. <br /> Swctural fill must be free of organics, debris and other deleterious material with no <br /> individual pazticles lazger than 5 inches in diameter.
