RE: Subgrade Evaluation
lot 86 -Levi L.anding
SPringfield, Oregon
On February 11,2002, a representative from Ford..Neu-Fassbender, Inc. observed and hand.
probed the bunding pad subgrade on Lot B61n the Levi Landing subdivision to assess the
subgl'lde bearing capacity and shrink/swell potential of the soil.
The builcling pad had been over..excavated to remove surface vegetation and 10 expose a
clayey slit/silty clay subgrade soU, The subgrade had a mccleram shrlnk/swall potsntial and is
suitable for an allowable bearing capacity up to 1,500 pst. To mitigate the potential fer soil
shrink/swell, the moisture content at the son should be stabilized. To prepare the sl.fbgrade for
wet weather construction and to stabilize the soil moisture content approximately s..inches of
Cl'Llsl'led %-..0 aggregate from Springfield Quarry was placed over the eubgrade,
The building pad 1& suitable for conventional rasidentlal construction with perimeter spread
footings, We rcJOOmmend that helilVY equipment, such as concrete trucks, dump-trucks and
lumber delivery trucks are not allowed on the building pad area during to the wet weather
conditions, We also recommend that perimeter footings be reinforced with at least two No.4
steel reinforcing bars. We recommend that the landscape soil slope to direct surface water
away from all foundations. and water should not pond adJaosnt to footings.
Sincerely,
PordaNess-Fassbender, Ino.
