r---_ <br /> � Seahorse Restaurant W-5583 <br />�` 18 March 1988 Page 5 <br /> Although preliminary site grades were not available at the time of this writing, <br /> -•• we anticipate that finished-grades will be obtained by minor cuts and fills with <br /> maximum cut and fill depths up to 5 feet. We understand from conversations with <br /> Mr. Cole, that soils from the higher portions of the existing ground surfacf. will <br /> be utilized to fill low spots t;o provide a somewhat level finished grade across <br /> the site. We recommend that initial site preparation include the demolition of <br /> the existing beach resort structures and the removal of debris from the site. All , i <br /> existing buried utilities should be removed or abandoned. Localized excavations �, <br /> for utility removal and removal of basements and foundations in the building or <br /> parking areas should be backfilled with "structural fill" as outlined subsequently. <br /> Utilities or buried fuel or septic tanks should be abandoned or backfilled in � <br /> accordance with State and local guidelines. <br /> All building and pavment areas, sidewalks and areas to receive "structural fill", <br /> should be stripped of all brush, vegetation, topsoil and other deleterious <br /> materials. Based on our test pit explorations, we estimate the stripping effort <br /> will typically encounter about 1/2 to 1 foot of topsoil and sod. Deeper areas of <br /> organics encountered in the portion of the site to he developed, such as tree root <br /> balls, should be anticipated and should also be removed and the excavations <br /> backfilled with structural fill as outlined subsequently. We also recommend that <br /> any fill materials such as encountered in the vicinity of test pit TP-4, be removed I <br /> and the metal, glass and deleterious construction materials be wasted offsite. <br /> Other isolated pockets of man-made uncontrolled fill and/or soft sedimentary <br /> localized deposits associated with Silver Lake may be present across the site. � <br /> The suitability of exposed native soils for foundation or floor support or for the <br /> placement or "structural fill" should be evaluated prior to structural fill <br /> placement. We recommend that areas to receive structural fill be prerolled and <br /> compacted prior to the placement of "structural fill". We recommend that prerolling <br /> be performed with a roller or other suitable heavy equipment to a firm and non- <br /> yielding condition in order to achieve a minimum c�mpaction level of at least <br /> 90 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (as determined by <br />
