AMERICAN ENGINEERING TESTING, INC. AET Project No. 26-00538 <br /> 71.3 Cobbles and Boulders <br /> The soils at this site can include cobbles and boulders. This may make excavating procedures <br /> somewhat more difficult than normal if they are encountered. <br /> 7.2 Excavation Backsloping <br /> If excavation faces are not retained, the excavations should maintain maximum allowable slopes <br /> in accordance with OSHA Regulations (Standards 29 CFR), Part 1926, Subpart P, <br /> AExcavations@ (can be found on www.osha.gov). Even with the required OSHA sloping, water <br /> seepage or surface runoff can potentially induce sideslope erosion or running which could <br /> require slope maintenance. <br /> 7.3 Observation and Testing <br /> The recommendations in this report are based on the subsurface conditions found at our test <br /> boring locations. Since the soil conditions can be expected to vary away from the soil boring <br /> locations, we recommend on-site observation by a geotechnical engineer/technician during <br /> construction to evaluate these potential changes. Soil density testing should also be performed on <br /> new fill placed in order to document that project specifications for compaction have been <br /> satisfied. <br /> 8.0 LIMITATIONS <br /> Within the limitations of scope, budget, and schedule, our services have been conducted <br /> according to generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices at this time and location. <br /> Other than this,now anty, either expressed or implied, is intended. <br /> Important information regarding risk management and proper use of this report is given in <br /> Appendix B entitled "Geotechnical Report Limitations and Guidelines for Use". <br /> Page 9 of 9 <br />
