Retaining walls: Install and/or reinstall exiting cables designed to provide lateral support to the <br /> top of vertical retaining wall support. Cables should be anchored in a properly designed `dead <br /> man system' installed on the inboard side of the access road and post tensioned. To confirm the <br /> walls are performing satisfactorily, we recommend wall movement be frequently monitored. <br /> The work plan should include a contingency plan for repairing the walls and limiting road access <br /> in the event monitoring data indicate potential stability concerns with the walls. <br /> Monitoring: Design and implement a monitoring program to measure the magnitude and rate of <br /> movement of key access road locations and retaining wall components. Monitoring points <br /> should consist of surface monuments located on the berm on the outboard side of the completed <br /> access road and on key locations on retaining wall timbers. Inclinometers at key locations in the <br /> roadway and on vertical retaining wall members should also be considered. The monitoring <br /> points should be monitored periodically and the monitoring reports distributed the DRMS and <br /> the County. The results should be compared with maximum allowable movement tolerances, <br /> above which contingency actions should commence. An experienced geotechnical engineer <br /> should prepare the work plan and oversee its implementation. <br /> 1MZ9PA1- <br /> John Erich Rauber <br /> Colorado Registered Engineer <br /> No. 26647 <br /> May 30, 2010 <br />
