Page 5 the new structures could still suffer damage if liquefaction occurs, during a very strong earthquake. For conservative purposes, a strengthened / stiffened foundation system as recommended in this report should be used for support of the proposed structure. Slope Stability The site is a flat area; therefore, slope instability is not a concern for the proposed development. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS General Conclusions Construction of the proposed structure at the subject site is considered geotechnically feasible, provided the recommendations outlined in this report are implemented. Note: The conclusions and recommendations of this report are based on information as interpreted from our limited subsurface investigation. It is not anticipated but they should be revised accordingly if geotechnical conditions to be exposed during site preparation/ grading and construction significantly differ from our findings and interpretations. In general, a conventional shallow foundation can be used for support of the proposed structure. The following recommendations are considered minimum and may be superseded by more restrictive requirements of the architect, civil/structural engineer, building codes, or governing agencies. Geotechnical Impact on Neighboring Properties Adverse geotechnical impact of the proposed development on the neighboring properties is not anticipated, provided the recommendations outlined in this report are properly implemented. Site Preparation/Grading To create a relatively uniform new engineered compacted fill layer for a proposed new structural slab-on-grade area, over-excavation and recompaction of about 3 ft. deep (measured from the existing ground surface) of the existing on-site soils should be performed. The lateral limits of the over-excavation should be minimum equal to depth of removal (3 ft. in this case) beyond the outside perimeter of the proposed new structure.
