These <br /> recommendations assume the foundations will be bearing in the <br /> engineered fill 'or gravel fill, and the fill has been placed a.s <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 /> f looding. <br /> Due to th-e loose nature of the material .encountered <br /> sloughing of -the. side walls may occur . This cobd..ition may <br /> AdOlk <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 va.ryi.ng depths within the site <br /> boundary ; thus ; depending upon the seasonal conditions and the <br /> elevations of the nearby river, dewatering of the ekcavati.on may <br /> be necessary. <br /> Dee2_Foundations: 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 /> Re Foundadon Eriginecrs, rrc. <br />
