Subject: Soil Suitability for Foundation Installation
Location: Lot 19 Olde Farm Village(Spring Lake,NC)
Observations:
Foundation excavation observation(sub-surface testing with respect to bearing capacity).
Recommendations:
The exposed soils have been observed and tested for the monolithic slab footings(Probe&DCP).
The materials are free of organics and significant amounts of water and based on our review and
testing the soil and conditions for the foundation are suitable for the minimum required bearing
pressure of 2000 psi
If you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance to you on this project,please contact me

General Notes:
•Mechanical testing methods vary per site hut always include probe rod testing across the entire excavation and augers
(minimum 3 locations)al multiple depths with Dynamic Cone Penetrometer(DCII testing
-Bearing capacity test results are voided if significant precipitation or water intrusion has occurred within 4S hours of the
initial testing.
-.IDS is not responsible for she condition'that dnen water towards the foundation 01t hat preens drainage acca4 from the

•This report is assessment of vertical bearing capacity only Unless specifically noted otherwise retaining wall testing.nor
