If a factor of <br />safety of 1 t~^- t0 sho A the slope incl.i_aation the <br />slope may recuire fut maintenance. <br />A surface water diversion ditch should be constructed at the <br />ton of the slope to intercept surface water above the slope and <br />divert it away from the slope. The slide debris in the existing <br />bench drain ditch should be removed and the bench drain ditch <br />recontoured to promote rapid runoff of collected water. The drain <br />ditches should be lined with an impervious aeotextile lining to <br />reduce the potential for surface water infiltrated into the slope <br />soils. The finished surface of the slopes should be groomed to <br />remove all loose or disturbed soils and provide a relatively <br />uniform surface to promote rapid runoff of surface water. Anv <br />loose or disturbed soils on the face of the slopes should be either <br />removed or recompacted to help improve the integrity and <br />performance of the slope face. We suggest that the slope face be <br />protected form erosion by either vegetation or aeotextile erosion <br />protective fabric. <br />5.0 POST DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS <br />We suggest that you consider a representative from our office <br />be present full time during the earthwork operations for <br />geotechnical engineering observation and testing and to correctly <br />interpret the intent of the recommendations presented in this <br />5 <br />II <br />~Lambcrt ana ~,soociates <br />CONSUL -LNG GEOiEG~N~C •L ENGINEERS AND <br />MALE PEAL [STING <br />
