Ben Weinberg Attachments: ® Site Plan(s) 0 Density Test Summary Signature: ?✓� �� Installation Records Other Reviewed By: PURPOSE of VISIT: GeoDesign representative, Ben Weinberg, was on-site'part time at the request of Craig with DDS to observe the foundation subgrade for Lots 224, 226, and 236. SUMMARY of OBSERVATIONS: Lot 224: Previously, GeoDesign noted that DDS had over -excavated the foundation subgrade area approximately 2.5 feet to 4 feet below bottom of footing and that the southeast corner (-20 feet by 25 feet area) could still be probed 3 feet using a 1/2 Inch diameter soil probe. Today, GeoDesign observed a test pit within southeast corner of the lot area to assess the differing subsurface conditions. GeoDesign noted that large boulders and chunks of concrete mixed with a very moist gray silty SAND with gravel was encountered from approximately 7 to 16 feet below the bottom of footing. The boulders/concrete appeared to have been encapsulated with the surrounding soil and had been subject to an approximately 10 feet surcharge during the pre -loading of Phase 2. At approximately 16 feet below bottom of footing, GeoDesign observed what appeared to be a native gray sandy SILT/gray silty SAND. GeoDesign noted that the test pit excavation was backfilled with the excavated boulders/concrete and silty SAND in a manner which reduced void space between the large boulders/concrete, The material was placed in approximately 1-2 feet lifts which were tamped into place using the bucket of an excavator. GeoDesign recommended that the loose soil in the southeast corner be stabilized by over -excavating the area an additional 3 feet and backfilling the area with at least 1.5 feet of quarry spalls tamped into the underlying soil. GeoDesign recommended that the quarry spalls be covered with a non -woven geotextile material. The remaining over -excavated area should be backfilled to bottom of footing elevation with a crushed rock material placed in lifts and compacted into a firm and unyielding mass. At the base of the over -excavated area on the west and north side of the lot area, relative compaction of the exposed soil was tested using a Tmxler Moisture -Density gauge; in -place density tests indicated that the material had been compacted to greater than 95% of its maximum dry density as determined by a Modified Proctor analysis. Craig with DDS stated that the over -excavated area in the southeast comer would be backfilled with quarry spalls starting tomorrow morning.
