These <br /> recommendations assume the foundations will be bearing in the <br /> engineered fill or gravel fill , and the fill has been placed as <br /> recommended in this report. <br /> Footings should have a minimum width of 18 inches regardless <br /> of load. The total and differential settlement is not expected <br /> to exceed the tolerable limits of the structure provided the <br /> foundations are not exposed to sustained standing water or <br /> flooding . <br /> Due to the loose nature of the material encountered <br /> sloughing of the side walls may occur . This condition may <br /> require sloping of the side walls . If the excavation is <br /> backfilled with a 3/4-inch maximum aggregate, some gravels may be <br /> lost due to loose soils or voids . <br /> Water was encountered at varying depths within the site <br /> boundary ; thus , depending upon the seasonal conditions and the <br /> elevations of the nearby river, dewatering of the excavation may <br /> be necessary. <br /> D�ttp_Foundati,ons : After those areas to receive foundations <br /> have been brought to an elevation of approximately 55 feet, those <br /> lots ,.,- or portions of , identified as suitable for receiving <br /> foundations should be cleared of surface vegetation and debris . <br /> The Foundation Enonecrs, Inc. <br />
