Incoming material will be mounded up to 16 feet high in the building for processing. We understand that this material weighs abort 30 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). • Constructing a grinder area between the tipping building a id compost system No. 1. We understand that a mobile truck grinder (Diamond Z Manufacturing Model 146313) is planned. The truck grinder is about 46 feet long, 11 feet wide and about 14 feet high. j • Constructing a two-story, pre -fabricated, office building and associated truck scales along the road at J the east entrance of the site. We understand that the building will be founded on cast -in -place concrete foundations. The truck scales are settlement sensitive. • Constructing two stormwater detention ponds or. the west portion of the site. • Providing a future I -acre screenings area between the stormwater detention ponds and the west end of compost system No. 2. • Providing a future 3.5-acre product storage area near the south end of the site and south of compost system No. 3. Compost and sand may be stockpiled in the product storage area. • Constructing other improvements that will include two leachate storage tanks, a wash pad for the loaders, and a future facility maintenance building. j • Constructing access roads with all weather surfacing. All surfaces outside of the compost systems and structures will be paved with asphalt concrete pavement and will be sloped to drain. • Installing utilities including power, telephone, and water services. • Constructing a future wetland on the south side of the side, south of the future product storage area. In conjunction with the facility some general improvements to the acreage will be made for use by the public, which includes an interpretive recreational trail along the length of a 3,200-foot dike located along the north end of the island. The access and parking for this will be built to the east in a future phase of the project. 1.3 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES The purpose of our services is to evaluate soil and groundwater conditions as a basis for developing design criteria for geotechnical aspects of the proposed Cedar Grove Composting Smith Island development. Field explorations and laboratory testing were performed to identify and evaluate subsurface conditions across the site in order to develop engineering recommendations for use in design of the project. Our services were performed in general accordance with our proposal dated October 15, 2003. Written authorization to proceed with our initial services was provided by Cedar Grove Composting on October 17, 2003. 1.4 OTHER STUDIES In addition to the explorations completed as part of this study, the logs of borings completed as part of previous studies on Smith Island were reviewed. Surface and/or subsurface information presented in the following reports was reviewed as part of this study: G e 0 E n g i n e e r s 2 File ND. 1O6__'301-0LI?J003
