<br />Mr. Jonathan Scharfinan <br />Silver Stone Communities <br />10 June 2005 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />TreadwelI&RoIIo <br /> <br />The need for, and the viability of, the various soil treatment and foundation types should be the <br />subjects of a detailed geotechnical investigation for the project. <br /> <br />Creek Embankment <br /> <br />The steep slope located at the northern property line may be prone to erosion. It should be <br />anticipated that building and site improvements will have setbacks from the slope to allow for <br />potential erosion over the expected lifetime of the proposed development. It may also be <br />necessary to protect the slope from erosion. <br /> <br />Construction Considerations <br /> <br />Site preparation will require grading to level the building pads and flatwork and install <br />infrastructure. It appears that no previous improvements have been constructed at the site. The <br />site will need to be properly stripped and areas to receive improvements properly compacted. If <br />groundwater is encountered, or if construction proceeds in the rainy season, it may be difficult to <br />compact the silt at the site. Typically, silt has a narrow range of moisture over which it can be <br />properly compacted. Treating the soil with lime or cement may be required to facilitate <br />earthwork. We anticipate the soil can be generally graded with conventional earth moving' <br />equipment. <br /> <br />We trust this letter contains the information you require.
