i'' <br />r- <br />Mr. Fred Malueg February 13, 1985 <br />Residential streets could possibly be constructed using a <br />surcharge method whereby the peat would be preloaded to increase <br />the unit stress on the compressible soils to a level greater than <br />that anticipated during the life of the pavement. This would <br />require placing fill to thicknesses on the order of 5 feet above <br />the estimated f* ished grade, for a period of 6 months to a year. <br />With this method it would not be adviseable to construct <br />underground utilities under the embankment fill due to long term <br />secondary consolidation of the peat, which would result in <br />additional settlement. <br />If you have any questions regarding this report or if we can be of <br />further assistance to you, please feel free to contact us. <br />Sincerely <br />GMEXONSULTANTS, INC. <br />William C.
