Structural Fill Data Report
Proposed Glacier View Subdivision
736 South 42nd Street
Springfield, Oregon 97477
PSI Report No. 722-55013-1
Dear Mr. Sindt:
On July 1, 2005 we met on site to discuss the proposed Glacier View Subdivision project
and to review the current site conditions and project plans.
Project information was also provided by you during a visit to our office on June 28, 2005
and by Mr. Todd Powell of HIGA Burkholder Associates, LLC during a telephone
conversation on June 27, 2005. We have received a set of project plans entitled "Land and
Drainage Alteration Permit for Glacier View "dated June 16, 2005 prepared by HIGA
Burkholder Associates, LLC. The, proposed subdivision consists of 14 single family
residential lots with the west one third of the site receiving up to 8 feet of structural fill. The
source of the fill will come from adjacentstreetlutility excavations along 42nd Street being
performed by WildishSand and ~ravel in August 2005.
At the time of our site visit, the site was relatively level and at or near adjacent street grades
of 4200 Street except for the west one third of the site. At this location, approximately 8 feet
of fill will be required to bring the site up to designed finished subgrade. The site was
predominantly covered with grass vegetation except for three existing residential structures
in the east half of the property.
Mr. Charles Lane, Senior Geotechnical Engineer with PSI, was notified of the project fill
requirements and agreed that the fill material should be placed in accordance with the
project plans prepared by HIGA Burkholder Associates, LLC, site grading notes on page
2/3, notes 1 through 12.
PSI should be retained to verify that the site has been stripped of vegetation prior to any
fill placement. Selected samples of the materials to be used for structural fill should be
submitted to our laboratory in order to evaluate the maximum density in accordance with
ASTM 01557, optimum moisture content, and suitability of the soil for use as fill. '
During fill placement, in-place density test will be performed using our nuclear,
densimeter gauges and the results of those test presented in a typed report stating that

the material complies with the project documents. Copies of the tests will be sent to
yourself, HIGA Burkholder Associates, LLC, and City of Springfield.

construction, please do not hesitate to contact Ray Aliperti at (541) 746-9649.
