An old topographic <br />map shows that the site was originally a low swampy area. The <br />site was utilized as a sanitary landfill and the present grade <br />is slightly below the grade of the adjacent Highway 8. One boring <br />(#10-76) was previously made on or near this site and was included <br />in our report to the New Brighton Housing and Redevelopment <br />Authority, dated February 25, 1976. We understand that you have <br />been provided with a copy of this report. This boring shows rubble <br />fill to a depth of 26' with organic swamp deposits below the fill, <br />extending to a depth of about 46'. <br /> <br />We understand that tentative plans call for the construction of a <br />small office building on the site and utilizing a majority of the <br />site for parking or storage. Another possible development would <br />be to construct a rather large warehouse type structure. <br /> <br />It is our op~n10n that the best utilization of the site, based on <br />the soil conditions, is to utilize as much of the site as possible <br />for parking, storage or similar use with a minimum size building. <br />The reason for this is that the soil conditions indicate very high <br />foundation cost. All structures would have to be supported on a <br />deep foundation. It is our opinion the most feasible deep foundation <br />would be a driven piling. The weak compressible soils are still <br />consolidating under the weight of the fill, and will continue to <br />do so for a period of many years. Therefore, even the lower floor <br />slab would.have to be supported structurally.
