The grading reported herein was accomplished during the period between March 31 and April 6,1994, inclusive. Prior to grading, the site was cleared and grubbed. A key was excavated along the toe of the proposed fill slope through the topsoils into the underlying competent natural materials. All fill soils were then properly moistend, and uniformly compacted in lifts on the order of 6 to 8 inches. The depths of fill at which the tests were taken and the final test results are presented on page T-l, under "Table of Test Results". The laboratory determinations of the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of the fill materials are set forth on the same page, under "Laboratory Test Results". The approximate location of the compacted filled ground and field density tests are presented on Figure No.1, entitled, "Approximate Location of Compacted Filled Ground" . Project No. 94-25F30l Mr. Wayne Landry 04/07/94 Page 2 The results of the tests and observations indicate that the soils placed and tested have been compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density. Test results indicate that these fill soils will support the proposed tennis court without detrimental settle- ment. Laboratory test results indicate that the soils encountered on the site possess high expansion potential (Expansion Index = 92). It is recommended that the highly expansive nature of these soils be taken into consideration when design the concrete slab of the proposed tennis court. Post-tension slabs are recommended. Proper control of the site drainage and regular maintenance of all drainage facilities are important factors related to the overall stability of the soil mass. No surface water should be allowed to collect and/or pond on the building pad, and the runoff should be directed to flow into the street gutter or other suitable on-site drainage facilities. A safe allowable soil bearing value of 1,500 pounds per square foot may be used for the design of foundations, as presented in Table 29- B of the Uniform Building Code for clayey sands.
