Sonnafield - Site Soils/Compaction Investigation - W.O. #141 06-BRM As you requested, a sIte/sOIls investigation was performed at the above noted address on October 26, 2001 Design for the site IS as follows' All fill, vegetation, and unbulldable matenalls to be removed'to native grade. The native soil is a silty clay loam with a Unified SOils Classification of ML-CL and a plasticity Index of less than 20 This sOil is considered a low to moderately expansive clay (after Holtz 1959). The gravel pad for the bUilding site should be a minimum of 6" of compacted crushed rock placed with a tracked dozer or excavator, and compacted with a Vibratory plate or roller. Mortier Englneenng, PC. supervised the profiling of the sOils for removal of water. On 2/13/02 a compaction inspection of the gravel under the proposed foundation was performed on thiS site In preparation for the construction InvolVing foundation for the proposed reSidence The preparation included the placement of 6"-12" of 1 1/2" minus crushed rock. The compacted surface of the crushed rock is adequate to support a conventional wood frame reSidence with a standard foundation per 2000 State of Oregon One and Two Family Dwelling Specialty Code as adopted per the local junsdiction The compaction of the gravel surface IS greater than 95% of a standard proctor, per ASTM 0698-91.
