Therefore, the impact of <br />groundwater on proposed development of the new residences should be minimal. <br />GEOLOGIC HAZARDS AND MITIGATION <br />Landslide Hazard <br />The site is Centrally flat to very gently sloped, except the western half of Lot 3 which is <br />moderately steep to steep. The site is underlain by fresh, very -dense till and dense advance <br />out -wash deposits. These deposits are of high to very -high shear strength and have high <br />resistance against slope failure. Therefore, the potential for deep-seated slides to occur on the <br />site should be minimal. <br />Erosion Hazard <br />The surficial topsoil, occasional fill and weathered soil are of low resistance against erosion. <br />while the underlying fresh till and advance outwash soils are of moderately high resistance <br />against erosion. There is a remote chance that erosion may occur in the weaker surficial soils <br />over the steeper, svestem half of Lot 3 of the site if it is devoid of vegetation cover and overly <br />saturated. Progressive erosion can lead to shallow, skin -type mudflows in the steeper area. To <br />mitigate such erosion hazard, vegetation outside of construction limits should be preserved and <br />maintained. Unpaved exposed finished ground within the site resulted from construction <br />activities should be re -seeded and re -vegetated as soon as possible. Concentrated stormwater <br />should not be discharged uncontrolled onto the ground within or adjacent to the site. Stormwater <br />over impervious surfaces, such as roofs and paved driveway, should be captured by an <br />underground drain line system connected to roof downspouts or by catch basins installed in <br />paved driveway. Water collected by these drain line systems should be tightlined to discharge <br />into a storm sewer or suitable stormwater disposal facilities, such as rain gardens or surface <br />LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />ci5lc�") <br />
