June 13, 2023 <br />HWA Project No. 2022-188-21 <br />• Material used as structural fill should consist of clean granular soil, of which not <br />more than 5% by dry weight passes the U.S. Standard No. 200 sieve, based on wet <br />sieving the fraction passing the 3/4-inch sieve. The fine-grained portion of the <br />structural fill soils should be non -plastic. <br />• The ground surface within the construction area should be sloped and sealed with a <br />smooth -drum vibratory roller, to promote rapid runoff of precipitation and to prevent <br />ponding of water. <br />• No soil should be left uncompacted so it can absorb water. Soils that become too wet <br />for compaction should be removed and replaced with clean granular materials. <br />5.0 CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS <br />We have prepared this report for use by SCS, Inc., and Kittitas County Solid Waste and other <br />members of the project design team during the design and construction of the geotechnical <br />aspects of this project. However, the conclusions and interpretations presented should not be <br />construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions. Experience has shown that subsurface soil <br />and ground water conditions can vary significantly over small distances. Inconsistent conditions <br />can occur between explorations and may not be detected by a geotechnical study. If, during <br />future site operations, subsurface conditions are encountered which vary appreciably from those <br />described herein, HWA should be notified for review of the recommendations of this report, and <br />revision of such, if necessary. We recommend that a knowledgeable and experienced <br />geotechnical engineer or inspector should inspect footing excavations, pavement subgrade <br />preparation, subsurface drainage, and review potential fill and bedding materials for suitability. <br />Within the limitations of approved scope, schedule and budget, HWA attempted to execute these <br />services in accordance with generally accepted professional principles and practices in the fields <br />of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology at the time the report was prepared. No <br />warranty, express or implied, is made. <br />The scope of our work did not include environmental assessments or evaluations regarding the <br />presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous substances in the soil, surface water, or ground <br />water at this site. <br />HWA does not practice or consult in the field of safety engineering. We do not direct the <br />contractor's operations and cannot be responsible for the safety of personnel other than our own on <br />the site. As such, the safety of others is the responsibility of the contractor. However, the contractor <br />should notify the owner if any of the recommended actions presented herein are considered unsafe. <br />O.O <br />2022-188-21 KCTS — Final Geotechnical Report 25 HWA GEOSCIENCES INC. <br />
