<br />We hired Empire Laboratories, Inc" a loca+ soils engineering firm, to visually <br /> <br />inspect the ditch and asked them for their,comments. They have prepared a report <br /> <br />of their preliminary observations which is included following this chapter. <br /> <br />These observations included the replacement or repair of most of the existing <br /> <br />check structures; rebuilding of the embankments to minimize erosion and scouring <br /> <br /> <br />especially around the check structures; removing as many of the trees along the <br /> <br />ditch as possible; and that an organized, in-depth, soil investigation, including <br /> <br />boring, be done along the length of the di~ch. <br /> <br />We feel that these steps are necessary for the proper design of this ditch so <br /> <br />that foundation design problems can be minimized. We recommend that test borings <br /> <br /> <br />be made at one-half (~) mile intervals as a minimum and closer together if site <br /> <br />specific conditions warrant, <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />
