� D) ,D L. NELSON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. ^ I <br /> ' � Consuhmg Enginetring Geology � <br /> April 7, 1989 <br /> � Profect No. 3989 <br /> Dage 3 <br /> i <br /> I <br /> � The crushed rock layer appears to be completely filled wlth water, probably I <br /> transmits the water dovrn gradient, and may be under some hydrostatic head <br /> ' pressure from up-gradient. <br /> Standing water occurs ,just to the east of the site withln the drainage area. <br /> , This xtandTng water may contribute to the perched water noted within the <br /> crushed rock layer. <br /> 1 <br /> CONCLUDIN6 O�INIONS <br /> � In our opinion, plecement of foundation support for the proposed office <br /> , bullding within the deslred area can be performed if the recommendations as <br /> presented hereln are utilized for construction. The occurrence of the high <br /> ' perched water teble within the crushed rock layer, and surficlal artlficial <br /> fill create a condltion where beering support of the foundations could be <br /> adversely affecteA. Specific contrul of footing depths, and their Aistance <br /> , ebove the perched weter teble, is of main concern to minlmize potentiai <br /> beering support reduction. <br /> ' In generel , we are of the opinion that site development and construction <br /> � should proceed in a fashion where 1) dewatering eiong the upslope side 1s <br /> performeA, 2) proofro111ng of the existing fill area is performed, <br /> 31 eddltionul structural fill 1s placed wlthln the structure erea, and <br /> , 4) structure foundatlons are pleced a �nlnimum of 2 feet above the highest <br /> perchpd water encountered.' <br /> � <br /> Dewatering L1ne Installa;ion <br /> � In an attempt to reduce the bmount end possible hydrostetic head pressure of <br /> the perched water noted within the underlying crushed rock leyer, we recommend <br /> � construction of e dewaterfng draln 11ne along the upslope side of the <br /> proposed structure area. The draln should be placed along the upslope side of <br /> ' the structure through excevation lnto the basal glacial drlft es a trench. <br /> The trench could be 24 inches w1de, begtnning at a suitable dayllght area <br /> � <br />
