• No traffic,construction equipment, stockpiles or cons[ruction supplies be allo�ved at the rop of dic <br /> cut slopes widiin a distance of at least 10 feet from the top of ihe slope. <br /> • Gxposed soil along thc slope be protccted from surface erosion using waterproof tarps or pl�stic <br /> sheeting. <br /> • Construc[ion activities be scheduled so that thc length of time the temporary cut is Ic'� uprn is <br /> reduced to the extcnt practical. <br /> • Grosion eontrol measures be implemented as appropriatr such thct nmuff lrom the site is rcduced <br /> to the extent practical. <br /> • Surface water is divertcd away from the excavation. <br /> • The general condition of the slopcs be observed periodicaily by a eco'schnical engin�cr tu <br /> confirm adequate staUility. <br /> Since the contractor has control of the construction operations, the contractor should be made responsible <br /> for the stability of cut slupes, as �vell as the safcry of the excavations. All shoring and temporary slopes <br /> must conform to applicablc local, statc and fcdcral safety regulations. I <br /> Permanent Slopes I' <br /> I Wc recommend that permanent cut anJ fill slopes be constructed no steeper d�an 2H:1 V. Tu achieve <br /> uniforn� compaction, we recommend Qi�t fill slopes be overbuilt by about 2 fect and subsequendy cut <br /> back to expose properly compacred till. <br /> To minimize erosion, newly conswcted slopes should be planted or hydroseeded shortly after completion <br /> of g:ading. Until the vegetation is established, some sloughing and ra��eling of the slopes should be <br /> expected. This may rcquiro localized repairs and reseeding. Temporary covcring, such as clear heavy <br /> plastic shecting,jute fabric, loose straw or rolled erosion control mats should be uscd to protcct the slopes <br /> during periods of rainfall. <br /> PRELOAD FILL <br /> IWe recommcnd placing a prcload till in the arca of the a��gregate stockpiles, aggregate bins, [he batch <br /> plant, and oiher settlement-sensitive sln�ctures. 'l�he purpose of the preload till is tu pre-induce a major <br /> I portion of the setdement that would othenvise occur when site fill, stockpile, and strucWre loads are <br /> applied. In the area of the pile supported Uatch plant and aggregate bins, the preload fill will reduce the <br /> differential setdement realized betwcen the pilc supported structures and the surrounding site grades. We <br /> � recommended that prcloading be completed prior to installation of pile founda[ions. <br /> Preload Height <br /> I For planning purposes, we suggcst a preload hcight of at least 5 feet above the finished grade elevation. <br /> The preload hcight is the thickness of die preload till that is placed abo��e the finished grade elevation. <br /> }{�Sher preloads may be necded depending on planned structures/loads of the site. The crest of the <br /> preload should extend laterally at least 5 feet beyond [he footprint of the structures in each direction. [t <br /> may be beneficial to expand the preload arcas in case the locations of stockpiles or structures are expectcd <br /> to movc. <br /> The preload fill should consist of structural fill quality material compacted only to the extent necessary to <br /> support construction equipment. Side slopes should be planned no steeper than IH:IV. The preload <br /> surface should be crowned slightly to promute drainage of surface water. <br /> Fi(cNo.8937-OOi-00 Pagc 10 �iEOENGINEEB� <br /> OtmGcr l l. ?OU/ <br />� � ..:z. _ _ .. . . . r .., <br /> ��q.{ r' . � �. �. - �.�� x �" . �:;. :�, �ir 3 � '�( +. �i� <br /> ...�' .. . �y �� - .� �r r i. �f'•. <br /> 4 <br /> . __.l��i�.__ '� ��C'A�� ���'"�wr = _ '..I� / � � <br /> . � ..�. . .. r. <br /> _ i rv <br /> � <br /> , , _ � z <br />
