In accordance with the recommendations outlined in the referenced report, an observation was made of the
foundation excavation on the referenced date for the purposes of confirming the geotechnical engineering and
foundation recommendation for the subject site. Based upon the subsurface conditions observed, and the testing
completed in the referenced report, the soils on the site should be considered expansive. Other than the
expansive soils identified, no other significant geologic hazards which would preclude construction were identified
during this or the previous referenced evaluations. The recommended foundation construction details for the
site are outlined below.
Based upon the results of this observation, a Tvoe D (Pads) foundation system should be used. The foundation
system design and construction should conform to the recommendations contained in the referenced report.
Interior floor construction recommendations as outlined in the referenced report under Interior Floor Support
should be followed.
A drain system should be provided around all below grade habitable floor space areas as recommended in the
referenced report.
Other design and construction details outlined in the referenced report for expansive soils should be followed.
The homeowner should be advised of the recommendations concerning landscaping of the site, maintenance, and
irrigation which are also discussed in the referenced report. Please call if further observations are required.
