On March 19, 2002, a representative from Terracon observed the foundation excavation for the
referenced lot within the Warren Farms development as requested.
The soil conditions exposed within the foundation areas consisted of sandy clay with gravel and/or
silty clayey sand fill material. These soils are similar to those described in our Geotechnical
Engineering Report prepared for the site and dated May 18, 2000 (see Project No. 20005081).
Based on our observations, it is recommended the structure be supported by a spread footing
foundation system designed in accordance with the recommendations set forth in the report.
At the time of the observation, no bedrock or free groundwater was encountered within two feet of
the crawl -space foundation level. However, based on recommendations set forth in the
Geotechnical Engineering Report, it is our opinion a dewatering system should be placed around the
lower level of the structure. The drainage system should be designed and constructed in
accordance with the recommendations set forth in the report.
If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to,contact us at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
TERRACON
