Observations/Finding

The site was visited by the undersigned AS Engineering and Consulting (ASEC) representative for the purpose of providing quality control inspection and testing services. Visual observation techniques were employed to assure compliance with project drawings/specifications, applicable codes, and materials submittals. The following observations were made on site today:

Upon arrival on site, a meeting was held with Dennis, the grading company foreman.  A discussion was held in regard to a problem area under the main proposed road which runs along the detention pond near location 16+00 to 16+50.  This area was approximately 20 feet wide by 20 feet in length and probed soft for more than 16 inches.  These soils exhibited a high level of moisture content.  A recommendation was made to remove the wet soil and replace with drier materials.  Several lifts were compacted using a trench packer TSC3.

It is suspected soil that the soils used for backfilling absorbed additional moisture from nearby standing water.

All remediation was completed by the end of the day.
