Lorencito Fill Report Review <br />May 29, 2002 <br />Page 5 of 14 Pages <br />constructed using standard geotechnical engineering <br />methods. <br />~ By signature titles, Ronald G. Thompson was the inspector. The certification statement does not <br />say that Thompson was under the direct supervision of McGlothlin. There is a PE stamp on the <br />report. <br />z The report does not indicate the time frame. Your draft asks for the date of the inspection. <br />s The report states that the underdrains were not built as designed. Was there an approved field <br />change or modification? How is approval for this technique documented? <br />° The report indicates that fills have not come within 50 feet of final face. <br />s You have a request for the date of the inspection in your draft. The report was received at the <br />Division on January 25, 2002. This maybe outside the two-week requirement. <br />e By omission, one might infer compliance. However, better engineering practice would be to <br />include a statement that none exists. <br />~ You have already addressed the lack of photographs in your draft letter. <br />Summary: Recommend the addition to your draft comments (Fourth Quarter 2001 Certification <br />Fill Area #9) the following: <br />Please add to the certification (page 2) that Ronald G. Thompson, a qualified professional <br />specialist experienced in construction of earth and rockfill embankments, accomplished the <br />inspection under the direction of Charles W. McGlothlin. <br />Please add to the introduction of the report the date construction started on this fill <br />(demonstrates that this report is the first of the quarterly reports). `7 <br />Please submit a change to the designs for approval of alternate subdrain configurations. <br />Please note that inspection reports are due within two weeks of the inspection [Rule <br />4.09.1(lI)(b)j. <br />Please add to the report that there was no appearance of instability, structural weakness, <br />or other hazardous conditions during the inspection. <br />Dis osal of Excess S ill Fill Area #8 Construction Janua 25, 2002 <br />Rule or Permit Re uirement Com liance <br /> <br />Rule 4.09.1(11 (a The fill shall be ins ected for stabilit <br /> by a registered engineer or other qualified professional <br />specialist experienced in construction of earth and rockfill <br />embankments under the direction of a qualified <br />rofessional en ineer Perhaps <br /> At least uarterl throu bout the construction Perha s <br /> And Burin the followin critical construction eriods: <br />
