Rhis.lettei ia wzitten puzsuant to your request foz a site lavestigation of the th�ee subject lnts teqat8inq the bearing capacity of the soils. On the date of this letter, I perfoimed penettometec tests at 1-foot (depth) intervals to a total depth of eiqht feet in Eouc sepacate test holes as shown on the acCompanyinq plat map. The test hales rrere duq by a atanCazd size COnstLactien bnckhoe. The area in qu!stion !s apparently a fill area. The fill has been in place for repostedly epptozimately thirty yeazs (per Bert Cronin 11/92). 1111 four holes demnosttatad approximately the snpx soil pzofile, which xould indicate that � the fill is uniform anG hosogeneous throughout the acea of the th�ee lota in ;i pueation. The aoil profile showed a one to tvo foot layec of dazk biom .� topeoil (sandy loan), and below that, a gzey loamy sand, vtth co6�les and pabDlor. Dua to the largQly granulac natare of the soil, I vould eanaidez it�s � conposition vcry good Eot suppocting typical house loads. ,, The teaults of the genetzo�xter suzvey aze as follarrs: 0- 6': Typlcal allowable bearing pressute oE approximetely 2,000 - 2,500 pounda per squaze foot (psf). 6' - 8': Typical allowable beazing pressure of appcoximately 1,000 - 1,500 p:f. Continuous footinqs foz standard two story constzuction should not exett lonq tetA loads oE qceatec than 1�500 psf an the soils lmmediately heneath the tovtings� as lcnq as the footings ace at least 16-inches wia� at theit base. It is my undetstandinQ that Czonin Nao�a� Inc. uses 16" wide Eootinqs as atandatd pLactice.
