Eng'ineer's Certification Letter on South Embankment
RME No. 138 -0162
Dear Carol:
Per your request, I have verified that that the existing firelane, south of the above referenced
development, was not undermined by the site development. The back -slope of the existing
embankment was originally surveyed at a 1:0.5 slope (at the steepest point). Design of the site
development improved this same back -slope to 1:0.7 and it was verified to be constructed as
such by this office. The back -slope has been thoroughly hydromulched and vegetation has taken
root.
It should be noted that this development's curb was designed so that it would match the existing
grades and therefore the only excavation in this area was conducted for placement of pavement.
It appears as though fill was placed during the construction of the buildings to the south of this
development. Fill was placed and the firelane (which is for the most part located on the property
line) was elevated approximately 2.75' above natural ground. Embankment stabilization, for
protection of the firelane, should have been accomplished during the southern buildings
development and construction.
To this point, there has not been any problems with the firelane and back - slope. In my
professional opinion, there should not be adverse impacts due to this development nor were the
undesirable conditions a result of this development. As always, please do not hesitate to call
should you have an Mae or require any assistance.
