Dear Sir:
DONALD E. HOFF. P. E.
ASST. CITY ENGINEER
D. W. BASSETT
TRAFFIC ENGINEER
It has been brought to our attention that construction has commenced
on your single family residence at the above referenced site. This letter
will serve as your notification that all areas within the foundation walls
must be filled with compacted backfill.
The Corps of Engineers specify all compacted backfill material shall
be impervious (silt, clay or a combination of both) and shall be compacted
to 90% of max. dry density. Sufficient compaction tests shall be taken by
an independent testing laboratory (Geotechnical Services, Inc., Salina, Ks.)
of the impervious fills to assure the required densities are met. Copies
of the test results shall be furnished to our office concurrent with fill
placement. It is your responsibility to notify the testing laboratory to
perform the required tests and the cost of such tests shall be borne by you.
We would suggest the backfill material be compacted in 6 inch layers
with a platform vibratory compactor, etc. until the density requirement is
achieved. It may be necessary to slightly wet the material to be compacted
to facilitate compaction. Any fills not conforming to the Corps of
Engineers criteria, shall be ordered removed and replaced.
If you have any questions concerning the above requirements, please
contact me.
Sincerely,
Don Hoff, P.E. j
