Gentlemen:
Attached, please find the laboratory permeability rates performed on three (3) soil
samples delivered to our office.
The permeability rates are as follows:
Sample 1: Light Gray Sand (Existing on Site Material) = 46.8 ft./day
Sample 2: 77`" Street Dredge Sand (Light Grayish Brown) = 71.7 ft./day
Sample 3: Yellowish Brown Sand = 76.1 ft./day
It is our understanding that a permeability rate of no less than 40 feet/day is required for
the project. Therefore, these soils are acceptable as backfill material in the retention
areas.
If kou have any questions, please feel free to call my office.
