March 7, 2011 <br />Mr. Paul Thompsort/Kolbear. Inc. <br />L&A Job No. 11-001 <br />Page 9 <br />permanent fill embankments should be no steeper tuan 2HAV. Upon completion, the sloping <br />face of permanent fill embankments should be thoroughly compacted to a non -yielding state with <br />a hoe -pack. <br />The above recommended cut and fill slopes are under the assumption that groundwater seepage <br />would not be encourtered during construction. If groundwater is encountered, the construction <br />work should be immediately halted and the slope stability re-evaluated. TTte slopes may have to <br />be flattened and other measures taken to stabilize the slopes. Stormwater should not allowed to <br />flow uncontrolled over cut and fill slopes. Permanent cut slopes or fill embankments should be <br />seeded and vegetated as soon as possible for erosion protection and long-term stability, and <br />should be covered with clear plastic sheets, as required, to protect them from erosion until the <br />vegetation is fully established. <br />STRUCTURAL FILL <br />Structural fill is the fill that supports structural or taffic load. Structural fill should consist of <br />clean granular soils free of organic and other deleterious substances and with particles not larger <br />than three inches. Structural fill should have a moistur, content within one percent of its <br />optimum moisture content at the time of placement. The optimum moisture content is the water <br />content in the soils that enable the soils to be compacted to the highest dry density for a given <br />compaction effort. <br />Onsite soils meeting the above requirements may be used as structural fill. Imported material to <br />be used as structural fill should be clean, free -draining, granular soils containing no more than 5 <br />percent by weight finer than the No. 200 sieve based on the fraction of the material passing No. 4 <br />sieve, and should have individual particles not larger than four inches. <br />LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />9gKJ <br />
