Observations/Finding

Introduction

The undersigned ASEC representative conducted a site investigation on August 30, 2023, to assess the soils in Areas 1 and 4. The objective was to characterize the soil conditions and provide soil classification recommendations.

Topsoil Description for Area 4

The topsoil in Area 4 predominantly consisted of brown clayey sand intermixed with organic material, precisely root matter and small boulders (4′ diameter or less).

Contractor Operations for Area 4

Area 4 serves as the staging area mentioned in the previous report, with dimensions approximately 404 feet in length and 50 feet in width. The initial topsoil depth was 4 feet.

Volumetric Analysis for Area 4

• 404 ft×50 ft×4 ft=80,800 ft3404ft×50ft×4ft=80,800 ft3

Engineering Recommendations for Area 4

It is recommended that the topsoil be excavated and utilized for landscaping topsoil within the subdivision or non-structural fill.

Soil Description for Area 1

The soil in Area 1 consisted of wet red and gray clays and muck intermixed with roots and small boulders (diameter of 4′ or less).

Contractor Operations for Area 1

Area 1 measures approximately 50 feet in width, 30 feet in length, and had an initial depth of 2.5 feet. The contractor utilized a dozer to blade 3 feet of material from the surface and relocated it to the southern boundary of the lot (in a non-structural area).

Volumetric Analysis for Area 1

• 50 ft×30 ft×2.5 ft=3,750 ft350ft×30ft×2.5ft=3,750ft3

Visual Documentation

Both areas are marked on the attached drawing for further clarification. Area 4 is located in Pod 2.

Recommendations for Area 4

It is recommended that the topsoil be excavated and utilized for landscaping topsoil within the subdivision or non-structural fill.
