�S'� . <br /> Ya�e Four <br /> The peaty muck deposit is expected to extenQ. under the proposed <br /> building �ite as extrapolated on the attached f;eneralized croes <br /> aections, and probably underlies eoils below the 581 foot con- <br /> tour to a point estimated to be 35 feet north of thP proposed <br /> southeast building corner. <br /> Overlying the peaty muck depoeit in places, uncontrolled fill <br /> was observed and logged. Foth these materiala r,ould be subfect- <br /> ed to eignificant differential and total aettlemente vrhich <br /> could be detrimental to performance of the atructure. <br /> Thus it is recom �ended to over excavate the propoeed building <br /> are�e ar�d access drivev�ays to remove the peai;, Backfill to <br /> above wF.ter table should be clean gravel or quarry spalle of <br /> eix inct minus rock having little or no fine fraction. Thia <br /> materia] requires no compactive effort. The e�xcavation should <br /> be a mit�imum of four feet wider on all sidee than the anticipa- <br /> ted foo•ting locationn. <br /> The backfill materiel, as described above, sh.ould be placed ae <br /> soon ae pocsible after e�cavation to pz•eclude th� buildup of <br /> excess vrater end water loosened materials. D�ie to the presence <br /> of thie water, conventional compaction of a i'ine grained mater- <br /> ial inetead of the recommended backfill vroul2 be impoesible. <br /> Upon completion of the bacicfill, a normal spr�ead footing design <br /> may be used with an allowable soil bearing ce�pacity of 1,500 <br /> P.S,F. <br /> Alternative methode include the use of pil� foundations� or <br /> surchargin� with fill exceedin� the weifht of the building <br /> through a dry aeason prior to construction o.f shallow spread <br /> footin�;s, If the surcharge method ie to be used, the fill should <br /> be placed beginning at the ed�ea of the peaty muck depoeit, and <br /> spread tovaard the southeast to rol.l the mobile fractions away <br /> from the propoaed building site, Upon conpletion of the surcha- <br /> rge, a shallow spread footing design may be used with en allov�- <br /> able soil bearine canacity of 1,000 P.S.F. <br /> Additional Con.ments � <br /> The sandy loam and loamy sand eoils encounterec� below ttie top- <br /> coils and above the weathered till layer he.ve �ood compactive <br /> qualities, and may be uti].ized as strveturF�l fill when corapact- <br /> ed at the proper moiRture content. <br /> If the recoremended over excavation method is to be used, a aed- <br /> ' imentation control far.ility will have to be engineered, <br /> The conclusione and recommendations pres�nted herein are pro- <br /> fessional epinions. These op9nions are based on generally acc- <br /> epted soil.a en�ineering principlea and prnctice, and no v�arrant <br /> is e>�presced or frr�plied. <br /> EA.9T!/ AMILYS/S <br />
