Fill should consist of <br /> material classified as loamy sand (USDA classification) . <br /> The original soil must be dryer than the plastic limit <br /> before placing fill . The original surface must be scarif ied <br /> or disced to break up tlie surface vegetation mat. The <br /> loamy sand fill must be placed over the entire area so that <br /> no trench will be located less than 10 ' from the edge of <br /> the fill . The depth of fill required will depend on the <br /> allowable depth of excavation into original soil based on . <br /> the water table or mottling. <br /> I recommend that the subdivision be approved as proposed. The <br /> developer should be warned to keep all traff ic, fill excavation, <br /> etc. awa� from the tested drainf ield sites. In some cases <br /> where road construction will be near the tested sites, extra <br /> caution must be taken. <br /> MPG:jl <br />
