Thr.se measures sfiou?d <br />include, but not be limited to, the placenent of either a thin layer of pea <br />gravel, crushed rock, or a lean concrete mud mat over the prepared and <br />' approved subgrade. <br />If ear[hworks can be completed during the anticipated period of lower <br />. groundwater in the drier sumner months of the year, ae rer.ommend the F•,11 a�d <br />Peat and any other soft or disturbed soils encouitered be removed am! replaced <br />with an onsite or imported, caarse grained, free draining granular c�mpacted <br />fill. The excavations made in the removal and replacement process snould <br />extend outside the footing line a dlstance equal to tlie depth of the <br />excavation. <br />If insufficient ansite fill is available, we recommend a clean free draining <br />sand and gravel imported fill material with less than five percent passing t,he <br />No. 200 sieve, based on the minus 3/4-inch fraction be used. This type of <br />material can typically be placed and compacted in wet weather conditions. <br />The fill should be placed in maximum eight-inch loose lifts and compacted to <br />at least 95 percent of the ASTM D 1557 78 laboratory standard. We recommend a <br />large steel wheeled vibratory roller be used to compact the fill. If density <br />tests taken in the fill indicate compaction is not be being achieved, the fill <br />should be scarified, moisture conditioned, and recompacted. <br />7. Rp�INAGE CONTROL MEASURES <br />Due to the moisture sensitivity of the site soils, we recommend both short- <br />and long-term drainage measures be incorporated into the project design and <br />construction. Surface runoff can be control�ied during canstruction by careful <br />excavation practices. Typically, these include the construction af shallow <br />upgrade perimeter drainage ditches or low earthen berms and the use of <br />temporary sumps to collect seepage and prevent water from damaging exposed <br />subgrades. All collected Nater should be directed under control to a positive <br />and permanent discharge system such as the storm sewar. <br />8. USE OF THIS REPORT ' <br />This report has been prepared exclusively for the use of The Axelrod Company <br />and their consultants for the specific application to this project. Once the <br />proposed site development plans are finalized, we should be contacted to <br />review aur conclusions and recomnendations. The exploration has been <br />performed in general accordance with locally accepted geotechnical e�gineering <br />practice to provide information for the area explored. <br />There are possible variations in the subsurface conditions between the <br />explorations and in the groundwater conditions with time. We recommend a <br />cantingency for unanticipated conditions be included in the construction <br />schedule and budget. Further, we recommend that we be retained to perform <br />Golder Associates <br />
