Structural Fill Placement and Compaction
Construction of proposed retaining walls, pathways, culverts, and structures will require placing limited
structural fills to establish final grades. All fill material should be placed in accordance with the
recommendations herein for structural fill. Prior to placement, the surfaces to receive structural fill should
be observed by a ZGA representative to verify that at least medium dense properly prepared fill or native
soil is present. In the event that soft or loose soils are present at the subgrade elevation, the soils should
be compacted to a firm and non-yielding condition and to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor
maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) prior to placing structural fill. This may require partial to complete
removal of existing material and replacing it as compacted structural fill. In the event that the soil cannot
be adequately compacted, they should be removed as necessary and replaced with granular fill material
at a moisture content that allows its compaction to the recommended density.
The suitability of soil for use as structural fill depends primarily on the gradation and moisture content of
the soil when it is placed. As the amount of fines (that soil fraction passing the US No. 200 sieve) increases,
soil becomes increasingly sensitive to small changes in moisture content and adequate compaction
becomes more difficult, or impossible, to achieve. Generally, soils containing more than about 5 percent
fines by weight (based on that soil fraction passing the US No. 4 sieve) cannot be compacted to a firm,
non-yielding condition when the moisture content is more than a few percent from optimum. The
optimum moisture content is that which yields the greatest soil density under a given compactive effort.
Re-use of On-site Soils: Soils expected to be encountered in excavations across the site include native
glacial till, outwash, and existing fill material. The materials typically consist of sand with a variable silt
and gravel content, with the outwash including the least amount fines and the glacial till including the
most. We anticipate that it will be feasible to re-use the outwash with a lower fines content under a
relatively wide variety of weather conditions, but use of soils with more than about 5 percent fines will
depend on the weather conditions at the time of placement and compaction. The native outwash is well-
suited for use as structural fill. Please note that native glacial till and existing fill material may contain a
relatively high silt content. Unless grading takes place during relatively dry weathers, using these materials
as structural fill could be difficult due to the high fines content and moisture sensitivity. Re-using over-
optimum soils during periods of wetter, cooler weather would likely require stabilization with Portland
cement.
We recommend that site soils used as structural fill have less than 4 percent organics by weight and have
no woody debris greater than ½ inch in diameter. We recommend that all pieces of organic material
greater than ½ inch in diameter be picked out of the fill before it is compacted. Organic-rich soil derived
from earthwork activities should be used in landscaping areas or be wasted from the site.
Imported Structural Fill: Imported structural fill may be required due to weather, wet soil conditions, or
other reasons. The appropriate type of imported structural fill will depend on the prevailing weather
conditions. During extended periods of dry weather when soil moisture can be controlled, we recommend
Technique rejected due to stormwater
controls required and higher cost

This field report presents the results of our on-site testing as well as the observations and opinions of the field representative regarding the contractor’s activities.
The contractor is responsible to complete the project in accordance with the approved plans and specifications regardless of our presence on site and our
observations and test results. Our services do not include supervision or direction of the contractor’s work of that of its subcontractors or responsibility for job site
safety.
We visited the site today at the request of Betsy Severtsen with Parks. The purpose of our visit was to meet with Betsy
and also with Jesse Martin (ACI superintendent) to observe site conditions, and to discuss options available for fill
placement and compaction. Our observations, conclusions, and recommendations are summarized below.
Upon arrival, and prior to Betsy’s arrival, we met with Jesse and he relayed the conditions that ACI has encountered when
excavating on-site soils and placing and compacting them. Much of the on-site soil is moisture-sensitive, and Jesse
indicated that some of the soil encountered to date has had in situ moisture contents high enough relative to the optimum
moisture content that achieving adequate compaction has been difficult. ACI has taken steps to help avoid allowing the
existing soils to become wetter during rainy weather, such as keeping stripped subgrades, fill embankments, and stockpiles
covered with plastic sheeting, only exposing and working relatively small areas at a time, and not working when conditions
are too wet (such as today). Jesse concurred with our comment that at this time of year it is difficult, it not impossible, to
dry wet-of-optimum soils due to the relatively low temperatures, high humidity, and frequent lack of wind.
Following Betsy’s arrival, we observed three sections of a large soil stockpile located southeast of the basketball court.
Soil at two of the locations consisted of brown sand with some silt and gravel while the third consisted of gravelly sand
with a relatively low fines content. Based on visual observation, we estimated that the two samples with some silt were
above the likely optimum moisture content and that the cleaner sample was likely at a moisture content that would allow
compaction to the required 95 percent (per ASTM D 1557) in structural fill locations, albeit toward the higher end of the
preferred moisture content range. The soil at all three locations had an insignificant organic content.
We subsequently observed soils exposed at the stripped subgrade elevation along the future trail location between the
stockpile and the tennis court (our observations were made adjacent to the plastic sheeting that ACI had placed above
the stripped surface). Soils we observed at three locations were similar to those we observed in the stockpile. We also
observed a section of structural fill north of the tennis court that had been placed and compacted last week. The material
consisted of sand with some silt and gravel and a low organic content. The material appeared wet of the likely optimum-
moisture content, in our opinion. Jesse indicated that a density test compacted by MTC in the compacted material
indicated slightly less than 90 percent compaction (95 percent is required at this location).

We subsequently discussed options available for moving forward with structural fill placement and compaction in
consideration of 1) the relatively high moisture content of the currently stockpiled soil relative to its use as structural fill
where 95 percent compaction is required, 2) current wet site conditions, and 3) expected wet site conditions for the
foreseeable future.
We offered the following conclusions and recommendations regarding practices that may be considered in addition to the
current methods employed by ACI (limiting site disturbance, wet weather avoidance, and protecting exposed soils with
plastic sheeting):
•A common solution to the situation where the moisture content of on-site soils is too high to allow adequate
compaction and weather conditions are such that drying is not feasible, is to replace the on-site soil with imported
select granular fill with a very low fines content and a moisture content that allows adequate compaction.
However, please note that during extremely wet conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to adequately
compact even select granular fill.
•In a similar vein, we do not recommend attempting to mix dry-of-optimum imported soils with wet-of-optimum
site soils. It has been our experience that more often than not this process only renders the imported soil too wet
to compact adequately.
•Amending wet-of-optimum site soils with about 3 to 4 percent Portland cement is a common practice that can be
very effective. This can be done on a small, localized basis or on a wide-scale basis as called for by site
circumstances. When done on a larger scale, it may be necessary to evaluate the pH of stormwater running off
amended soils in order to avoid negatively impacting off-site runoff.
•It would be feasible to use some of the wet-of-optimum soils in fill embankments in landscaping areas where less
than 95 percent compaction is specified.
•Frequent construction traffic above adequately prepared subgrades or adequately compacted but moisture-
sensitive structural fill under wet site conditions is likely to result in disturbance of the otherwise adequate soils.
In cases like this, it is not uncommon to establish temporary haul roads or traffic routes composed on compacted
select granular fill or crushed rock that will protect the underlying soils and that may be re-used in other locations
on site.

We visited the site today at the request of Betsy Severtsen with Parks. The purpose of our visit was to observe site
conditions and to discuss options available for fill placement and compaction. Our observations, conclusions, and
recommendations are summarized below.
Upon arrival, we observed that ACI had began importing an alternative granular fill material to be used as structural fill to
raise grade for the new trail/walkway areas. The new import fill material appeared close to optimum moisture and
contained about 5 percent or less fines based on visual observation. In our opinion, this new material appears to be of a
higher quality and would likely be less moisture sensitive than what was previously observed on site. We collected a small
sample of the material for laboratory testing.
We observed that ACI had placed roughly 1 to 2 feet of the new import granular fill overtop the prepared subgrade for
about 100 linear feet of the trail/walkway just north of the tennis courts. ACI indicated that the material was placed in
roughly 8- to 10-inch thick lifts and compacted via several passes with a vibratory sled. The compacted material generally
appeared firm, non-yielding based on hand proving and visual observation. It is our understanding that MTC had collected
a sample of the material the previous day and would evaluate the compaction of the material via nuclear density testing
prior to placement of crushed rock.
Additionally, while on site we observed the stockpile of native soil proposed to be utilized as fill in future landscaping
areas. The stockpile was covered with plastic tarping . We removed the plastic at several locations and observed two
different sections of native soil that had been segregated in the stockpile. The darker colored section of the stockpile (west
side of the stockpile) generally consisted of wet, brown to dark brown, silty sand, with some gravel and varia ble
concentrations of fine roots and organics. In our opinion, this material would likely be difficult to compact in its current
wet of optimum condition and would be moisture sensitive if placed in wet weather. The eastern and central portions of
the pile generally consisted of moist to wet, brown and light grayish brown, sand with silt, with gravel and minimally low
fines content. Although varied, the moisture content of the material in the lighter colored section of the stockpile
appeared closer to optimum moisture, contained less fines, and therefore would likely be less moisture sensitive during
wet weather. In our opinion, some of the wet-of-optimum soil already stockpiled on site could potentially be used in fill

1.30.23 Addendum
The five samples of fill material we collected on 1.27.23 were returned to our lab for oven-dried moisture content
determinations. The results are listed below. The siltier soils from the southwest and west sides of the stockpile had high
moisture contents relative to the optimum moisture contents of the samples tested to date by MTC.
Sample Moisture Content (percent)
SW side of stockpile 13.9
West side of stockpile 13.0
East side of stockpile 5.9
Central portion of stockpile 9.7
Imported gravelly sand 5.7
The three native soil samples tested by MTC had maximum dry densities ranging from 127.4 pcf to 140.0 pcf and optimum
moisture contents ranging from 6.7 percent to 9.1 percent. The tested soils had moisture contents ranging from 9.2
percent to 12.6 percent when samples, indicating moisture contents of 2.1 to 6 percent above optimum.
The MTC tests and our recent moisture content results illustrate how variable the on-site soil moisture contents are
relative to optimum and that successful use of the material in areas where 95 percent density is required will necessitate
selective use of excavated or stockpiled material.
