July 21, 2014 <br /> Two Single-Family residences <br /> L&A Job No. 14-065 <br /> Page 19 <br /> We recommend that a layer of compacted, 7/8-inch crushed rock base (CKB), be placed <br /> for the driveways. This crushed rock base should be at least 6 inches thick. The crushed <br /> rock base should be overlain with a 3-inch asphalt treated base (ATB) topped by a 2-inch- <br /> thick Class B asphalt concrete (AC) surficial course or 5-inch reinforeed concrete <br /> pavement for the driveways. <br /> DRAINAGE CONTROL <br /> Building Footprint Excavation <br /> Building footprint eYcavatian for proposed residences, if encountering groundwater <br /> seepage, should have the bottom of excavation sloped slightly and ditches excavated <br /> along bases of the cut banks to direct collected groundwater into sump pits from which <br /> water can be pumped out. A layer of 2-inch crushed rock should be placed over footing <br /> bearing subgrade soils, as required, to protect the soils from disturbanee by construction <br /> traffic. This crushed rock base should be built to a few inches above groundwater level, <br /> but not less than 6 inches thick. The crush rock base should be compacted in 12-inch ]ifts <br /> to a non-yielding state with a vibratory mechanical compactor. <br /> Runoff over Impervious Surfaces <br /> Storm runoff over impervious surfaces, such as roofs and paved driveways, should be <br /> collected by underground drain line systems connected to do��vnspouts and by catch basins <br /> installed in paved drive���ays. Stormwater thus collected should be tightlined to discharge <br /> into a storm sewer or suitable stormwater disposal facilities such as infiltration trenches. <br /> LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
