Inspection of a recently formed road cutting 3 feet high adjacent to the tennis court <br />1-3 0 <br />area revealed similar soils to those in the backhoe pits. <br />j LABORATORY TESTING <br />- Laboratory tests were conducted on representative disturbed samples obtained from the <br />I backhoe pits. The test results are summarized on Plate 3A to 3D. <br />3 RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS <br />--. jGeneral : Based on the results of our investigation, it is our opinion that the <br />I ��jr proposed site can be readily developed for support of the proposed facility. The recreation <br />— i building can be safely supported on shallow footings founded on native soils or engineered <br />fill provided our recommendations pertaining to site preparation and fat placement are <br />followed. <br />r " Site Preparation and Fill Placement Prior to site grading, all areas subject to cutting or <br />filling should be cleared and stripped of all surface vegetation, tree roots, and organic <br />topsoils. We anticipate that removal of the surface vegetation and topsoil may require <br />r.� stripping and excavation of approximately 6 to 8 inches with deeper excavation required to <br />= remove tree root structures. In addition, any soils with significant organic content <br />_ immediately beneath the topsoil should be excavated. All cleared and stripped materials <br />should be removed from the project area. Any surface water in low-lying areas should also <br />v ' be removed. <br />I After cut areas have been graded and prior to placing material in fill areas, we <br />recommend that the exposed subgrade soils be thoroughly proofrolled with a piece of heavy <br />construction equipment (such as a loaded dump truck) to identify any soft or loose areas. <br />Soft zones thus identified should be stripped and removed at the direction of a Dames & <br />1=1=� Moore representative. The subgrade should be re-established by backfilling with clean well - <br />graded sand or sand and gravel compacted to 95 percent of maximum density based on ASTM <br />Test Procedure D-1557. <br />After site preparation has been completed in accordance with the above recommendations, <br />I filling operations may then proceed. All fill should be placed in lifts not exceeding about 8 <br />inches in loose thickness and conditioned to within 2 percent of the optimum moisture <br />content. Each lift should then be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum <br />3 <br />t <br />
