THE FOLLOWING WAS NOTED:
Associated Earth Sciences Inc. (AESI) was on-site in the morning for observation of capillary break, footing drains and sewer line
backfill, at the request of Jerry Jr. of CDC. Upon arrival, AESI met with Jerry Jr. of CDC.
Capillary Break Observation – Area B
A section of capillary break was completed in Area B today as noted in Figure 1 below. The capillary break consisted of clean (no
fines) crushed chip rock approximately ¾ inch in diameter. Capillary break completed today in the noted areas appeared consistent
with project plans and our recommendations in our opinion.
Footing Drain Observation – Area A
While on-site, AESI observed footing drain installation around the south edge of Area A as noted in Figure 2 below. The footing
drains completed today in the noted areas appeared consistent with project plans and our recommendations in our opinion.
On-site Sewer Line Backfill
While on-site, we observed that approximately 3’ to 4’ of sewer line backfill, consisting of on-site soils, had been placed between
Sanitary Sewers #11 and #3 (Figure 2). The backfill was placed in 1’ to 1.5’ lifts and compacted with a hoepac and vibratory roller.
AESI used a density gauge to test the new backfilled sections. Test results met or exceeded 95% compaction (Table 1). In our
opinion, based on our observations and test results, we found the observed area of the sewer line backfill today to be firm and
unyielding and suitable for planned paving.
