RE: Geo-technical Considerations for the Mobile Home Site on Parcel 5,
per Enclosed.
Dear Nancy and Steve;
The undersigned Geo-technical Engineer, along with Diane Cordova,
made a soils reconnaissance of the subject property on March 20th.
A general profile description of the property is that of a rounded
slope from which timber has been removed. Drainage is downslope toward
the West. The slope is about 12° down.
Exploration was by means of a hand shovel at 2 ft. depths. (The
soils were noted to be very uniform, as noted, below.)
A level foundation has been constructed for the mobile home. The
side slopes of the fill placed for the mobile home foundation are presently
sloped at nearly 1H : 1V. These slopes should be modified to 1}H : 1V,
if compacted, otherwise; sloped at 2H : 1V. The slopes should be planted
with ground cover at the conclusion of the construction.
An observation of the sand fill proved it to be loosely placed. This
material may be compacted by passing a steel tracked dozer over it, re-
peatedly. PLEASE ADVISE US WHEN THIS HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED AND WE WILL
TAKE ADDITIONAL COMPACTION TESTS OF THE FOUNDATION MATERIAL.
Please provide us with foundation details for the concrete runners
so that bearing values on the soil may be calculated.
Ih
Generally, the land stability of this property is good, due to the
moderate slope and the granular composition of the soil stratas. We
noted uniformity in the material from different observations.

In my professional opinion, the site is stable and the mobile home
construction is feasible.
Photographs were taken for our file and record.
