Rd. 39 Lebanon, IN 46052 Re: Lincolnshire Lot 39 Oear Dennis, It is my understanding that the bottom offo6ting e)(C8vation'a! the lot referenced above is not level. Y;ou requested my opinion as to the appropriateness of using f10wable fill to level the bottom of excavation. Flowable fill may be used to level the bottom of the wall fooling excavation with the following stipulations. First, the existing soil at the bottom of the current excavation must be of good quality and provide the required soil bearing capacity (2,000 psf unless otherwise noted on the construction documents). Second, the bottom of excavation must be clean and free of loose dirt and debris priorito the placement of the f10wable fill. Fin_fly, the fIowable fill mUl;:t also provide at least the required sbil bearing capacity (2,000 psf unless otherwise noted). I appreciate the opportunity to be of service and please contact me if you have any further questions or comments, i , My opinion, stated herein, is limited to tho~,~,sues.discUSsed. Other issues regarding the constructioh, if any, are beyond the scope of this.Ji~tter '" '",'..''' . '.. .. '. Regards, ~SChwa~E;~. .. . n D. Schwarz, PE . '. Struolural Engineer .' .
