Mr. Stay:
Submitted herewith is the report of our geotechnical engineering study for the subject site. This report contains the
results of our findings and an engineering interpretation of the results with respect to the available project characteristics.
It also contains recommendations to aid in the design and construction of the earth related phases of this project.
On January 13, 2022, February 10, 2022, and February 15, 2022 a CMT Engineering Laboratories (CMT) staff professional
was on-site and supervised the excavation of 32 test pits extending to a depth of about 7 to 16 feet below the existing
ground surface and the drilling of 3 bore holes extending to depths of about 16.5 to 51.5 feet below the existing ground
surface. Soil samples were obtained during the field operations and subsequently transported to our laboratory for
further testing and observation.
At the exploration locations across primarily the western half and southern third of the property, fill with varying debris
and soil make up was present ranging from 1 to 16 feet thick. Observed groundwater levels were variable and shallow in
depth. The upper 4 feet of fine-grained soils were slightly moderately pre-consolidated exhibiting low to moderate
strength characteristics. Sidewall caving was often encountered at shallow depths and generally associated with shallow
groundwater. The West Valley fault/Taylorsville Fault is mapped across the northern portion of the site. Overall, the site
subsurface soil and groundwater conditions exhibit poor engineering characteristics with respect to planned construction.
Conventional spread and/or continuous footings may be utilized to support the proposed structures, provided the
recommendations in this report are followed. A detailed discussion of design and construction criteria is presented in this
report.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you at this stage of the project. If we can be of further assistance or if you
have any questions regarding this project, please do not hesitate to contact us at 801-590-0394.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
CMT Engineering Laboratories (CMT) was retained to conduct a geotechnical subsurface study for the proposed
development of The Other Side Village campus. The parcel is situated on the north side of Indiana Avenue at
about 1850 West in Salt Lake City, Utah, as shown in the Vicinity Map below.
VICINITY MAP
1.2 Objectives, Scope and Authorization
The objectives and scope of our study were planned in discussions among Mr. Lew Swain and Mr. Tim Stay of
The Other Side Academy, and Mr. Andrew Harris of CMT Engineering Laboratories (CMT). In general, the
objectives of this study were to define and evaluate the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the site,
and provide appropriate foundation, earthwork, pavement and seismic recommendations to be utilized in the
design and construction of the proposed development.
In accomplishing these objectives, our scope of work has included performing field exploration, which consisted
of the excavating/logging/sampling of 32 test pits, the drilling/logging/sampling of 3 bore holes, performing
laboratory testing on representative samples of the subsurface soils collected in the test pits, and conducting
SITE

CMT Project No. 17063
an office program, which consisted of correlating available data, performing engineering analyses, and preparing
this summary report. This scope of work was authorized by returning a signed copy of our proposal dated
August 2, 2021.
1.3 Description of Proposed Construction
We understand that development of a single-family residential subdivision with associated community use and
out-reach buildings, park pavilions, and retail strip structures including medical service shops, small market and
community center(s) is planned for the site. Structures are likely to be 1 to 2 levels above grade. We anticipate
structures will likely be constructed using conventional wood-framing, founded on spread footing, and with slab
on grade floors established at or near existing site grades. An outdoor auditorium/amphitheater is also planned.
Maximum continuous wall and column loads are anticipated to be 1 to 4 kips per lineal foot and 15 to 100 kips,
respectively. If the loading conditions are different than we have projected, please notify us so that any
appropriate modifications to our conclusions and recommendations contained herein can be made.
We also understand that pavements at the site will include public roadways, light-duty parking areas and
internal drive lanes, which we anticipate will utilize asphalt pavement. Traffic is projected to consist of mostly
automobiles and light trucks, a light to moderate number of daily medium-weight delivery trucks, occasional to
light volume of heavy weight trucks, a weekly garbage truck, and an occasional fire truck.
Site development will require some earthwork in the form of minor cutting and filling. A site grading plan was
not available at the time of this report, but we project that maximum cuts and fills may be on the order of 2 to
4 feet. If deeper cuts or fills are planned, CMT should be notified to provide additional recommendations, if
needed.
1.4 Executive Summary
Proposed residences can be supported upon conventional spread and continuous wall foundations provided the
recommendations in this report are followed. More heavily loaded footings will require some minimum
thickness of select granular structure replacement fill (see Section 7.3 Settlement below) extending to suitable
natural, stable soil. Overall, the site surface fill, and the subsurface soil and ground water conditions will exhibit
relatively poor engineering characteristics. The most significant geotechnical aspects regarding site
development include the following:
1. Fill soils were encountered at the surface ranging in thickness from about 1 to 16 feet thick at the test
locations and are located primarily within the western half and southern third of the site property. These
fills are variable in soil makeup and contain variable amounts of debris and are considered non-
engineered. The fill depth and lateral extent must be anticipated to vary across the site.
2. The West Valley/Taylorsville Fault is currently mapped across the northern portion of the site property.
A site-specific fault study would likely be required and is not part of this geotechnical site study scope of
service.
3. Groundwater was observed during the field investigation as shallow as 2 feet below the ground surface
with depths ranging between 2 and 9 feet during the fieldwork. Static groundwater levels were
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 3
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
measured within the installed, slotted, PVC pipes on March 17, 2022 between depths of about 1.7 to 7.3
feet below the ground surface. Groundwater must be anticipated to affect utility installation and some
footing installation. Associated dewatering and subgrade stabilization must be anticipated.
4. Test pit sidewall caving was common near groundwater and where sandy soil layers were present.
5. Based on laboratory testing the upper about 4 feet of fine-grained soils exhibit low to moderately low
strength characteristics and moderately high compressibility characteristics and will govern shallow
bearing pressure.
CMT must assess that topsoil, undocumented fills, debris, disturbed or unsuitable soils have been removed and
that suitable soils have been encountered prior to placing site grading fills, footings, slabs, and pavements.
New roadways may be supported over existing in-situ fill provided the fill is of limited thickness, does not contain
significant amount of deleterious material, (roughly less that 10 percent by volume) and if properly prepared as
outlined later in this report.
In the following sections, detailed discussions pertaining to the site are provided, including subsurface
descriptions, geologic/seismic setting, earthwork, foundations, lateral resistance, lateral pressure, floor slabs,
and pavements.
2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
2.1 General
In order to define and evaluate the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions, 32 test pits were excavated
with a backhoe at the site to a depth of approximately 7 to 16 feet below the existing ground surface and 3 bore
holes were drilled at the site to depths of approximately 16.5 to 51.5 feet below the existing ground surface.
Locations of the test pits and bore holes are shown on Figure 1, Site Plan, included in the Appendix. The field
exploration was performed under the supervision of an experienced member of our geotechnical staff.
Representative soil samples were collected in the test pits by obtaining disturbed "grab" samples, cutting
relatively undisturbed "block" samples, and utilizing a 2.5-inch outside diameter thin-wall drive sampler from
within each test pit. The samples were placed in sealed plastic bags and containers prior to transport to the
laboratory.
Samples of the subsurface soils encountered in the bore holes were collected at varying depths through the
hollow stem drill augers. Relatively undisturbed samples of the subsurface soils were obtained by driving a split-
spoon sampler with 2.5-inch outside diameter rings/liners into the undisturbed soils below the drill augers.
Disturbed samples were collected utilizing a standard split spoon sampler. This standard split spoon sampler
was driven 18 inches into the soils below the drill augers using a 140-pound hammer free-falling a distance of
30 inches. The number of hammer blows needed for each 6-inch interval was recorded. The sum of the hammer
blows for the final 12 inches of penetration is known as a standard penetration test and this ‘blow count’ was
recorded on the bore hole logs. The blow count provides a reasonable approximation of the relative density of
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 4
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
granular soils, but only a limited indication of the relative consistency of fine-grained soils because the
consistency of these soils is significantly influenced by the moisture content.
The subsurface soils encountered in the test pits and bore holes were classified in the field based upon visual
and textural examination, logged and described in general accordance with ASTM1 D-2488. These field
classifications were supplemented by subsequent examination and testing of select samples in our laboratory.
Graphical representations of the subsurface conditions encountered are presented on each individual Test Pit
Log, Figures 2 through 33, and on each individual Bore Hole Log, Figures 34 through 36, included in the
Appendix. A Key to Symbols defining the terms and symbols used on the logs, is provided as Figure 37 in the
Appendix.
Following completion of excavating operations, 1.25-inch diameter slotted PVC pipe was installed in test pits
TP-7, TP-9, TP-13, TP-16, TP-17, TP-19, TP-21, TP-22, and TP-23 to allow subsequent water level measurements.
Upon completion of logging and sampling, the test pits were backfilled with the excavated soils. When
backfilling, minimal to no effort was made to compact the backfill and no compaction testing was performed.
Thus, the test pit backfill is considered undocumented/non-engineered fill and settlement of the backfill in the
test pits over time should be anticipated.
2.2 Infiltration Testing
Infiltration testing was also performed as part of our field exploration within test pit TP-4 at a depth of about 4
feet below the existing ground surface. The testing consisted of creating and filling a small hole at that depth
with water, and measuring the rate of water drop within the small hole over a certain time period (i.e., 10
minutes). This process was repeated multiple times until subsequent readings were the same. The results of
this test indicate that the silty sand soils at this site have an infiltration rate of approximately 10 minutes per
inch. This rate could increase (become slower) over time due to siltation, thus we recommend an appropriate
factor of safety be applied for design.
3.0 LABORATORY TESTING
3.1 General
Selected samples of the subsurface soils were subjected to various laboratory tests to assess pertinent
engineering properties, as follows:

3.3 One-Dimensional Consolidation Tests
A consolidation test was performed on each of 7 near surface fine-grained soil samples between depths of about
1.5 feet to about 8 feet below the ground surface. Results indicate that the fine-grained soils tested within the
upper about 4 to 5 feet exhibit slightly moderate pre-consolidation and low strength characteristics grading
moderately over consolidated with moderate strength characteristics below. Further the samples tested
exhibited moderate to moderately high compressibility characteristics. Detailed results of the tests are
maintained within our files and can be transmitted to you, upon your request.
4.0 GEOLOGIC & SEISMIC CONDITIONS
4.1 Geologic Setting
The subject site is located in the northern portion of the Salt Lake Valley in north-central Utah. The property sits
at an elevation of approximately 4,230 to 4250 feet above sea level. The Salt Lake Valley is a deep, sediment-
filled basin that is part of the Basin and Range Physiographic Province. The valley is bounded by the Wasatch
Mountain Range on the east and the Oquirrh Mountain Range on the west. The valley was formed by
extensional tectonic processes during the Tertiary and Quaternary geologic time periods. The subject site and
surrounding areas are located within the Intermountain Seismic Belt, a zone of ongoing tectonism and seismic
activity extending from southwestern Montana to southwestern Utah. The active (evidence of movement in
the last 10,000 years) Wasatch Fault Zone is part of the Intermountain Seismic Belt and extends from
southeastern Idaho to central Utah along the western base of the Wasatch Mountain Range.
Much of northwestern Utah, including the Salt Lake Valley, was also previously covered by the Pleistocene age
Lake Bonneville. The Great Salt Lake, located to the northwest of the valley, is a remnant of this ancient fresh
water lake. Lake Bonneville reached a high-stand elevation of between approximately 5,160 and 5,200 feet
above sea level at between 18,500 and 17,400 years ago. Approximately 17,400 years ago, the lake breached
its basin in southeastern Idaho and dropped relatively fast, by almost 300 feet, as water drained into the Snake
River. Following this catastrophic release, the lake level continued to drop slowly over time, primarily driven by
drier climatic conditions, until reaching the current level of the Great Salt Lake. Shoreline terraces formed at
the high-stand elevation of the lake and several subsequent lower lake levels are visible in places on the
mountain slopes surrounding the valleys of northwest Utah. Much of the sediment within the Salt Lake Valley
was deposited as lacustrine sediments during both the transgressive (rise) and regressive (fall) phases of Lake
Bonneville and in older, pre-Bonneville lakes that previously occupied the basin.
The geology of the USGS Salt Lake City North, Utah 7.5 Minute Quadrangle, that includes the location of the
subject site, has been mapped by VanHorn 2. The surficial geology at the location of the property and adjacent
properties is mapped as “Dump” (Map Unit fd). Unit fd is described as “Mostly trash and garbage. Sanitary
landfills have been covered with locally derived native material. Organic material in the deposits may generate
methane gas.” Refer to the Geologic Map, shown below.

4.2 Faulting
A splay of The Taylorsville Fault, which is part of the West Valley Fault Zone, is mapped in northeast portions of
the subject property3 (see aerial overview below). A site-specific fault study should be completed for the site.
CMT may provide these services upon request. Further seismic design issues are addressed in Section 4.3 below.

4.3 Seismicity
4.3.1 Site Class
Utah has adopted the International Building Code (IBC) 2018, which determines the seismic hazard for a site
based upon 2014 mapping of bedrock accelerations prepared by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) and
the soil site class. The USGS values are presented on maps incorporated into the IBC code and are also available
based on latitude and longitude coordinates (grid points). For site class definitions, IBC 2018 Section 1613.2.2
refers to Chapter 20, Site Classification Procedure for Seismic Design, of ASCE 4 7-16, which stipulates that the
average values of shear wave velocity, blow count and/or shear strength within the upper 100 feet (30 meters)
be utilized to determine seismic site class. Based on average shear wave velocity data within the upper 30
meters (VS,30) published by McDonald and Ashland 5, the subject site is located within unit description Q01S,
which has a log-mean VS,30 of 198 meters per second (650 feet per second). Thus, it is our opinion the site best
fits Site Class D – Stiff Soil Profile (with data), which we recommend for seismic structural design.
4.3.2 Ground Motions
The 2014 USGS mapping utilized by the IBC provides values of peak ground, short period and long period spectral
accelerations for the Site Class B/C boundary and the Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER).
This Site Class B/C boundary represents average bedrock values for the Western United States and must be
corrected for local soil conditions at site grid coordinates of 40.7541 degrees north latitude and -111.9445
degrees west longitude. The following table and response spectra summarizes the peak ground, short period
and long period accelerations for the MCER event, and incorporates appropriate soil correction factors for a Site
Class D (with data) soil profile:

As indicated in the above table, S1 is greater than 0.2 seconds and a site-specific ground motion hazard analysis
(GMHA) is required for the site, unless the Exception 2 values shown are used for seismic design. If a site-specific
GMHA is desired instead of using the higher exception values for design, please contact CMT for a proposal to
perform the GMHA.
4.3.3 Liquefaction
The site is located within an area designated by the Utah Geologic Survey 6 as having “High” liquefaction
potential. Liquefaction is defined as the condition when saturated, loose, sandy soils lose their support
capabilities because of excessive pore water pressure which develops during a seismic event. Clayey soils, even
if saturated, will generally not liquefy during a major seismic event.
The natural soils encountered below the groundwater consist primarily of silty and fine sandy CLAY and some
clayey fine SAND soil layers extending to the full depth penetrated, about 51.5 feet at bore hole B-3. Laboratory
6 Utah Geological Survey, "Liquefaction-Potential Map for a Part of Salt Lake County, Utah," Utah Geological Survey Public Information
Series 25, August 1994. https://ugspub.nr.utah.gov/publications/public_information/pi-25.pdf

CMT Project No. 17063
tests indicate the natural clay soil exhibit a plastic index of 7 percent or greater. Therefore, it is our opinion that
the potential for liquefaction is low or unlikely to occur at this site during a design seismic event.
4.4 Other Geologic Hazards
The property is not located within a known or mapped potential debris flow, stream flooding7, or rock fall hazard
area.
5.0 SITE CONDITIONS
5.1 Surface Conditions
At the time of the field work the site consisted of a roughly 38 acres parcel which is presently undeveloped.
Undocumented/non-engineered fill blankets much of the western and south portions of the site property based
on the field explorations. Further the site surface is covered by various weeds grasses and small brush. The
surface of the site is relatively flat and varies in elevation up to about 6 feet. Based upon aerial photos dating
back to 1997 that are readily available on the internet, the site has been undeveloped and has had what appears
to be occasional, isolated area grubbing and/or fill placing over this reviewed time span (see Vicinity Map in
Section 1.1 above).
5.2 Subsurface Soils
Surface fill of varying soil composition and containing varying debris was observed blanketing the site within the
test pit and bore hole explorations, and was generally located across the western and southern portions of the
site. The fill sequence varied in thickness from about 1 foot up to as much as about 16 feet at test pit TP-1
located at the southwest corner of the property and must be assumed to vary both laterally and with depth
across the site. Topsoil with organics was observed ranging from several inches thick up to as much as about 2
feet at the remaining explorations located within the northeastern portion of the site.
Below the fill and topsoil, natural soils generally consisted of silty and fine sandy CLAY with occasional clayey
and silty fine SAND soil layers several feet thick within the upper about 8 feet. Below about 8 feet the natural
soils generally consisted of silty and fine sandy clay extending to the maximum depth penetrated of about 51.5
feet at bore hole B-3.
The natural fine-grained soils were moist to wet, brown and gray in color, and soft to medium stiff/loose to
medium dense. Laboratory test results indicate that the fine-grained soils tested within the upper about 4 to 5
feet exhibit slightly moderate pre-consolidation and low strength characteristics grading to moderately over-
consolidated with moderate strength characteristics below. Further the samples tested exhibited moderate to
moderately high compressibility characteristics.

For a more descriptive interpretation of subsurface conditions, please refer to the test pit logs, Figures 2 through
33, and bore hole logs, Figures 34 through 36, which graphically represent the subsurface conditions
encountered. The lines designating the interface between soil types on the logs generally represent
approximate boundaries - in situ, the transition between soil types may be gradual.
5.3 Groundwater
Groundwater was observed across the site at the test locations between about 2 and 9 feet below the ground
surface with the deeper water levels typically observed where additional fills have been spread across the site
surface.
On March 16, 2022, CMT personnel returned to the site to measure static groundwater levels within installed,
slotted PVC pipes. These readings are tabulated below.

Groundwater levels can fluctuate seasonally. Numerous factors such as heavy precipitation, irrigation of
neighboring land, and other unforeseen factors, may also influence ground water elevations at the site. The
detailed evaluation of these and other factors, which may be responsible for ground water fluctuations, is
beyond the scope of this study.
5.4 Site Subsurface Variations
Based on the results of the subsurface explorations and our experience, variations in the continuity and nature
of subsurface conditions should be anticipated. Due to the heterogeneous characteristics of natural soils, care
should be taken in interpolating or extrapolating subsurface conditions between or beyond the exploratory
locations. Further, non-engineered surface fill blanket much of the site surface and vary both in thickness and
lateral extent across the site.
Also, when logging and sampling of the test pits was completed, the test pits were backfilled with the excavated
soils but minimal to no effort was made to compact these soils. Thus, the test pit backfill is considered
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 13
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
undocumented/non-engineered fill and settlement of the backfill in the test pits over time should be
anticipated.
6.0 SITE PREPARATION AND GRADING
6.1 General
All loose fill piles and any deleterious material/topsoil must be stripped from the site prior to construction.
Non-engineered fills were present across the surface at many of the exploration locations ranging in thickness
between about 1 to 16 feet (averaging about 3 to 5 feet thick). All non-engineered fill must be completely
removed below all building foundations. Similarly, fills containing deleterious material must be removed below
all floor slabs and exterior pavements. If the in-situ fill is clean of degradable material and clean of large non-
degradable debris, (i.e., crushed concrete greater than 4 inches in diameter) it may remain below the floor slabs
and exterior pavements if properly prepared and some potential for post settlement is allowed/anticipated.
Proper preparation of suitable, in-situ fill soils in asphalt pavement areas shall consist of removing the upper 12
inches, scarifying the exposed soil to a minimum depth of 9 inches followed by moisture preparation and re-
compacting the soils in place and structurally backfilling the removed 12 inches to the requirements outlined is
section 6.4 Fill Placement and Compaction below. Similarly, 24 inches of suitable, in-situ fill shall be prepared
in 12-inch maximum lifts below new floor slabs and rigid pavement aprons. This may also consist of removing
the given thickness of existing fill and replacing with imported granular structural fill. Where existing surface fill
soils are less than 12 inches in total thickness then preparation shall consist of re-compacting or removing and
replacing with import structural fill for the total thickness of surface fill present.
Where groundwater may be shallow, some dewatering and subgrade stabilization, as outlined later in this
report, must be anticipated.
Subsequent to stripping and prior to the placement of floor slabs, foundations, structural site grading fills,
exterior flatwork, and pavements, the exposed subgrade must be proofrolled by passing moderate-weight
rubber tire-mounted construction equipment over the surface at least twice. If excessively soft or otherwise
unsuitable soils are encountered beneath footings, they must be completely removed. If removal depth
required is greater than 2 feet below footings, CMT must be notified to provide further recommendations. In
pavement, floor slab, and outside flatwork areas, unsuitable natural soils should be removed to a maximum
depth of 2 feet and replaced with compacted granular structural fill. Surface fills must be handled as described
above.
The site should be examined by a CMT geotechnical engineer to assess that suitable natural soils have been
exposed and/or existing fills have been properly prepared and any deleterious materials, loose and/or disturbed
soils have been removed, prior to placing site grading fills, footings, slabs, and pavements.
Fill placed over large areas to raise overall site grades can induce settlements in the underlying natural soils. If
more than 3 feet of site grading fill is anticipated over the natural ground surface, we should be notified to
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 14
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
assess potential settlements and provide additional recommendations as needed. These recommendations may
include placement of the site grading fill far in advance to allow potential settlements to occur prior to
construction.
6.2 Temporary Excavations
With shallow groundwater and near surface sandy soil layers, some excavation sidewall caving was observed
during the test pit excavations. Excavations deeper than 8 feet are not anticipated at the site.
Relatively shallow groundwater was encountered and later measured at this site. We anticipate that
excavations extending below depths of about 3 to 5 feet in general could encounter groundwater, and
dewatering of such excavations may be required.
The natural soils encountered at this site predominantly consisted of silty/fine sandy CLAY with occasional
clayey/silt fine SAND layers within the upper about 8 feet. In clayey (cohesive) soils, temporary construction
excavations not exceeding 4 feet in depth may be constructed with near-vertical side slopes. Temporary
excavations up to 8 feet deep, above or below groundwater, may be constructed with side slopes no steeper
than one-half horizontal to one vertical (0.75H:1V).
For sandy/gravelly (cohesionless) soils, temporary construction excavations not exceeding 4 feet in depth and
not encountering groundwater should be no steeper than one-half horizontal to one vertical (0.5H:1V).
Excavations encountering saturated cohesionless soils will be very difficult to maintain, and will require very flat
side slopes and/or shoring, bracing and dewatering.
All excavations must be inspected periodically by qualified personnel. If any signs of instability or excessive
sloughing are noted, immediate remedial action must be initiated. All excavations should be made following
OSHA safety guidelines.
6.3 Fill Material
Structural fill is defined as all fill which will ultimately be subjected to structural loadings, such as imposed by
footings, floor slabs, pavements, etc. Structural fill will be required as backfill over foundations and utilities, as
site grading fill, and as replacement fill below footings. All structural fill must be free of sod, rubbish, topsoil,
frozen soil, and other deleterious materials.
Following are our recommendations for the various fill types we anticipate will be used at this site:
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 15
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
Fill Material Type Description/Recommended Specification
Select Structural
Fill
Placed below structures, flatwork and pavement. Imported structural fill should consist
of well-graded sand/gravel mixture, with maximum particle size of 4 inches, a minimum
70% passing 3/4-inch sieve, a maximum 20% passing the No. 200 sieve, and a maximum
Plasticity Index of 10.
Site Grading Fill
Placed over larger areas to raise the site grade. Sandy to gravelly soil, with a maximum
particle size of 6 inches, a minimum 70% passing 3/4-inch sieve, and a maximum 40%
passing No. 200 sieve.
Non-Structural Fill
Placed below non-structural areas, such as landscaping. On-site soils or imported soils,
with a maximum particle size of 8 inches, including silt/clay soils not containing
excessive amounts of degradable/organic material.
Stabilization Fill
Placed to stabilize soft areas prior to placing structural fill and/or site grading fill. Coarse
angular gravels and cobbles 1 inch to 8 inches in size. May also use 1.5- to 2.0-inch
gravel placed on stabilization fabric, such as Mirafi RS280i, or equivalent (see Section
6.6).
On-site fine-grained soils (clay/silt) are not suitable for use as structural fill, but may be used as site grading fill
and non-structural fill. Note that these fine-grained soils are moisture-sensitive, which means they are
inherently more difficult to work with in proper moisture conditioning (they are very sensitive to changes in
moisture content), requiring very close moisture control during placement and compaction. This will be very
difficult, if not impossible, during wet and cold periods of the year.
All fill material should be approved by a CMT geotechnical engineer prior to placement.
6.4 Fill Placement and Compaction
The various types of compaction equipment available have their limitations as to the maximum lift thickness
that can be compacted. For example, hand operated equipment is limited to lifts of about 4 inches and most
“trench compactors” have a maximum, consistent compaction depth of about 6 inches. Large rollers, depending
on soil and moisture conditions, can achieve compaction at 8 to 12 inches. The full thickness of each lift should
be compacted to at least the following percentages of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D-1557
(or AASHTO8 T-180) in accordance with the following recommendations:

Structural fills greater than 8 feet thick are not anticipated at the site. For best compaction results, we
recommend that the moisture content for structural fill/backfill be within 2% of optimum. Field density tests
should be performed on each lift as necessary to verify that proper compaction is being achieved.
6.5 Utility Trenches
With shallow groundwater, utility installation may likely require dewatering/stabilization/bracing of the soils
encountered. For the bedding zone around the utility, we recommend utilizing gravel bedding fill material that
meets current APWA9 requirements.
All utility trench backfill material below structurally loaded facilities (foundations, floor slabs, flatwork, parking
lots/drive areas, etc.) should be placed at the same density requirements established for structural fill in the
previous section.
Most utility companies and local governments are requiring Type A-1a or A-1b (AASHTO Designation) soils
(sand/gravel soils with limited fines) be used as backfill over utilities within public rights of way, and the backfill
be compacted over the full depth above the bedding zone to at least 96% of the maximum dry density as
determined by AASHTO T-180 (ASTM D-1557).
Where the utility does not underlie structurally loaded facilities and public rights of way, on-site fill and natural
soils may be utilized as trench backfill above the bedding layer, provided they are free of deleterious material,
properly moisture conditioned and compacted to the minimum requirements stated above in Section 6.4.
6.6 Stabilization
The natural silt/clay soils at this site will likely be susceptible to rutting and pumping. The likelihood of
disturbance or rutting and/or pumping of the existing natural soils is a function of the load applied to the surface,
as well as the frequency of the load. Consequently, rutting and pumping can be minimized by avoiding
concentrated traffic, minimizing the load applied to the surface by using lighter equipment and/or partial loads,
9 American Public Works Association
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 17
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
by working in drier times of the year, or by providing a working surface for the equipment. Rubber-tired
equipment particularly, because of high pressures, promotes instability in moist/wet, soft soils.
If rutting or pumping occurs, traffic should be stopped and the disturbed soils should be removed and replaced
with stabilization material. Typically, a minimum of 18 inches of the disturbed soils must be removed to be
effective. However, deeper removal is sometimes required.
To stabilize soft subgrade conditions (if encountered), a mixture of coarse, clean, angular gravels and cobbles
and/or 1.5- to 2.0-inch clean gravel should be utilized, as indicated above in Section 6.3. Often the amount of
gravelly material can be reduced with the use of a geotextile fabric such as Mirafi RS280i or equivalent. Its use
will also help avoid mixing of the subgrade soils with the gravelly material. After excavating the soft/disturbed
soils, the fabric should be spread across the bottom of the excavation and up the sides a minimum of 18 inches.
Otherwise, it should be placed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation, including proper
overlaps. The gravel material can then be placed over the fabric in compacted lifts as described above.
7.0 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations have been developed on the basis of the previously described project
characteristics, including the maximum loads discussed in Section 1.3, the subsurface conditions observed in
the field and the laboratory test data, and standard geotechnical engineering practice.
7.1 Foundation Recommendations
Based on our geotechnical engineering analyses, the proposed structure(s) may be supported upon
conventional spread and continuous wall foundations placed on suitable natural soils or structural fill extending
to suitable, stable natural soils utilizing a net bearing pressure of 1,200 pounds (governed by poorly consolidated
near surface clay soils within the upper 4 to 5 feet which exhibit low strength and high compressibility
characteristics) or 1,500 per square foot if supported over a minimum 12 inches of select structural replacement
fill extending to suitable natural, stable soil. In order to control total and differential settlements, more heavily
loaded footings must be underlain by some minimal thickness of granular structural replacement fill, as outlined
below in Section 7.3.
The term “net bearing pressure” refers to the pressure imposed by the portion of the structure located above
lowest adjacent final grade, thus the weight of the footing and backfill to lowest adjacent final grade need not be
considered. The allowable bearing pressure may be increased by 1/2 for temporary loads such as wind and seismic
forces.
We also recommend the following:
1. Exterior footings subject to frost should be placed at least 30 inches below final grade.
2. Interior footings not subject to frost should be placed at least 16 inches below grade.
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 18
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
3. Continuous footing widths should be maintained at a minimum of 18 inches for commercial and
institutional structures. For the small residential cottages, a continuous footing width of 10 inches must
be maintained.
4. Spot footings should be a minimum of 24 inches wide.
7.2 Installation
Under no circumstances shall the footings be established upon non-engineered fills, loose or disturbed soils,
rubbish, construction debris, other deleterious materials, frozen soils, or within ponded water. If unsuitable soils
are encountered, they must be completely removed and replaced with compacted structural fill.
Excavation bottoms should be examined by a geotechnical engineer from CMT to confirm that suitable bearing
soils have been exposed.
All structural fill should meet the requirements for such, and should be placed and compacted in accordance
with Section 6 above. The width of structural replacement fill below footings should be equal to the width of
the footing plus 1 foot for each foot of fill thickness. For instance, if the footing width is 2 feet and the structural
fill depth beneath the footing is 2 feet, the fill replacement width should be 4 feet, centered beneath the footing.
7.3 Estimated Settlement
Settlements of foundations designed and installed in accordance with the above criteria and recommendations,
supporting the loads discussed in Section 3, Description of Proposed Construction, can be controlled to within
about 1 inch or less if heavily loaded footings are underlain by some thickness of granular structural fill per the
table below.
Approximately 40 percent of the quoted settlement should occur during construction.

Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 19
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
7.4 Lateral Resistance
Lateral loads imposed upon foundations due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by the development of
passive earth pressures and friction between the base of the footings and the supporting soils. In determining
frictional resistance, a coefficient of 0.30 for natural silt/clay soils or 0.40 for select structural fill, may be utilized
for design. Passive resistance provided by properly placed and compacted structural fill above the water table
may be considered equivalent to a fluid with a density of 250 pcf. A combination of passive earth resistance
and friction may be utilized if the passive component of the total is divided by 1.5.
8.0 LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
At this time, we understand that the structures are anticipated to be constructed slab on grade. However, for
shallow retaining walls or utility boxes the following lateral pressure discussion is provided. Parameters, as
presented within this section, are for backfills which will consist of drained granular soil placed and compacted
in accordance with the recommendations presented herein.
The lateral pressures imposed upon subgrade facilities will depend upon the relative rigidity and movement of
the backfilled structure. Following are the recommended lateral pressure values, which also assume that the
soil surface behind the wall is horizontal and that the backfill within 3 feet of the wall will be compacted with
hand-operated compacting equipment.
CONDITION STATIC (psf/ft)*SEISMIC (psf)*

with a minimum 0.001H movement/rotation at the top of the wall, where
“H” is the total height of the wall)

At-Rest Pressure (wall is not allowed to yield)64 N/A
Passive Pressure (wall moves into the soil)350 205
*Equivalent Fluid Pressure (applied at 1/3 Height of Wall)
*Equivalent Fluid Pressure (added to static and applied at 1/3 Height of Wall)
9.0 FLOOR SLABS
Floor slabs may be established upon suitable, undisturbed, natural soils, properly prepared in-situ fill as outlined
in section 6.0 Site Preparation above, or structural fill extending to suitable natural soils/properly prepared fill.
Under no circumstances shall floor slabs be established directly on any topsoil, un prepared fills, loose or
disturbed soils, sod, rubbish, construction debris, other deleterious materials, frozen soils, or within ponded
water.
In order to facilitate curing of the concrete, we recommend that floor slabs be directly underlain by at least 4
inches of “free-draining” fill, such as “pea” gravel or 3/4-inch quarters to 1-inch minus, clean, gap-graded gravel.
To help control normal shrinkage and stress cracking, the floor slabs should have the following features:
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 20
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
1. Adequate reinforcement for the anticipated floor loads with the reinforcement continuous through
interior floor joints;
2. Frequent crack control joints; and
3. Non-rigid attachment of the slabs to foundation walls and bearing slabs.
The top of habitable floor slabs should be established a minimum 3 feet above static groundwater or a
minimum 1.5 feet above the water levels controlled by subdrains.
10.0 DRAINAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
It is important to the long-term performance of foundations and floor slabs that water not be allowed to collect
near the foundation walls and infiltrate into the underlying soils. We recommend the following:
1. All areas around structures should be sloped to provide drainage away from the foundations. Where
possible we recommend a minimum slope of 6 inches in the first 10 feet away from the structure.
2. All roof drainage should be collected in rain gutters with downspouts designed to discharge at least 10 feet
from the foundation walls or well beyond the backfill limits, whichever is greater.
3. Adequate compaction of the foundation backfill should be provided. We suggest a minimum of 90% of
the maximum laboratory density as determined by ASTM D-1557. Water consolidation methods should
not be used under any circumstances.
4. Sprinklers should be aimed away from the foundation walls. The sprinkling systems should be designed
with proper drainage and be well-maintained. Over watering should be avoided.
5. Other precautions may become evident during construction.
11.0 PAVEMENTS
We anticipate the natural clayey soils and fine-grained fill soils will exhibit poor pavement support
characteristics when saturated or nearly saturated. Based on our laboratory testing experience with similar
soils, our pavement design is based upon a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of 4 for the natural clay soils.
Site pavements are anticipated to consist primarily of flexible (asphalt concrete) pavement. All pavement areas
must be prepared as discussed above in Section 6.1.
Given the projected traffic as discussed above in Section 1.3, the following pavement sections are
recommended for the given ESAL's (18-kip equivalent single-axle loads) per day:

Untreated base course (UTBC) should conform to city specifications, or to 1-inch-minus UDOT specifications for
A–1-a/NP, and have a minimum CBR value of 70%. Subbase shall be granular and have a minimum CBR value of
40 percent. Roadbase and subbase material should be compacted as recommended above in Section 6.4. Asphalt
material generally should conform to APWA requirements, having a ½-inch maximum aggregate size, a 75-gyration
Superpave mix containing no more than 15% of recycled asphalt (RAP) and a PG58-28 binder.
Site concrete should be designed in accordance with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and joint details
should conform to the Portland Cement Association (PCA) guidelines. The concrete should have a minimum
28-day unconfined compressive strength of 4,000 pounds per square inch and contain 6 ±1% air-entrainment.
For dumpster pads, we recommend a pavement section consisting of 6.5 inches of Portland cement concrete
and 5 inches of aggregate base over properly prepared suitable natural subgrade or site grading structural fills
extending to suitable natural soils. Dumpster pads constructed overlying undocumented fills must be heavily
reinforced.
12.0 QUALITY CONTROL
We recommend that CMT be retained as part of a comprehensive quality control testing and observation
program. With CMT on-site we can help facilitate implementation of our recommendations and address, in a
timely manner, any subsurface conditions encountered which vary from those described in this report. Without
such a program CMT cannot be responsible for application of our recommendations to subsurface conditions
which may vary from those described herein. This program may include, but not necessarily be limited to, the
following:
12.1 Field Observations
Observations should be completed during all phases of construction such as site preparation, foundation
excavation, structural fill placement and concrete placement.
12.2 Fill Compaction
Compaction testing by CMT is required for all structural supporting fill materials. Maximum Dry Density
(Modified Proctor, ASTM D-1557) tests should be requested by the contractor immediately after delivery of any
Geotechnical Engineering Study Page 22
Other Side Village, Salt Lake City, Utah
CMT Project No. 17063
fill materials. The maximum density information should then be used for field density tests on each lift as
necessary to ensure that the required compaction is being achieved.
12.3 Excavations
All excavation procedures and processes should be observed by a geotechnical engineer from CMT or their
representative. In addition, for the recommendations in this report to be valid, all backfill and structural fill
placed in trenches and all pavements should be density tested by CMT. We recommend that freshly mixed
concrete be tested by CMT in accordance with ASTM designations.
13.0 LIMITATIONS
The recommendations provided herein were developed by evaluating the information obtained from the
subsurface explorations and soils encountered therein. The exploration logs reflect the subsurface conditions
only at the specific location at the particular time designated on the logs. Soil and ground water conditions may
differ from conditions encountered at the actual exploration locations. The nature and extent of any variation
in the explorations may not become evident until during the course of construction. If variations do appear, it
may become necessary to re-evaluate the recommendations of this report after we have observed the variation.
Our professional services have been performed, our findings obtained, and our recommendations prepared in
accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering principles and practices. This warranty is in lieu
of all other warranties, either expressed or implied.
