RE: 3324 Ambfeside Dr. - Proof Roll - W,Q,#15334-ARC
As you requested, a site visit was periormed on April 30, 2003 in order to determine if the
compacted fill adequately meets the requirements for the placement of foundation, The fill
consists of 3" open and %" minus crushed rock, The maximum depth of fill is approximately 4~
inches, No extraordinary deflection was observed due to th~ testing of the fill with a fully loaded
dump truck, which weighed approximately 47,000 pounds, The compacted suriace of the
crushed rock is adequate to support a conventional wood frame residence with a standard
foundation per the 2000 State of Oregon One and Two Family Dwelling Specialty Code as
( adopted per the local jurisdiction, The compaction of the gravel suriace is greater than 95% of a
standard proctor, per ASTM 0698-91,
Thank you for this opportunity to be of service. The enclosed Building Analysis Report and
Statement of Conditions and Limitations is a part of this report. If you have questions regarding
this report, please contact me at 484-9080,
Sincerely,

, The geotechnical report for the'Ambleside Meadows - 1 st Addition Subdivision
recommends immediate moisture stabilization of exposed expansive sub-grades, and that

to at least 95% of ASTM D698 for foundation preparation. The report also recommends
that measures be taken to prevent water from collecting in or around the foundation areas
during and after the construction process, and that positive site drainage be provided to
reduce the infiltration of surface water into the expansive soils.
