The report also recOlDI1lellds that measures be taken to prevent water from collecting in or around the foundation areas during and after the construction r"".....a. and that positive site drainage be provided to reduce the infiltration of surface water into the expansive soils. The geotechnical report further emphasizes that the fmish grade of landscape soil adjacenl to the foundation should be at least 24" above the expansive bearing soils, tim!!l: co~ted. to reduce the infiltration of water al the surface. The adequacy of fill soil material around the building must be verified to the satisfaction of the design professional. 4 Oct-21-2004 12:30.. Fro.-K , A ~eerinl' Inc. Community Servic~s Div.
