Dear Mr. DUM:
An issues letter was sent to you on October 18,2002 from me describing what changes needed to
be made to satisfy the Engineering Department's concerns. In that letter, a new soils report was
requested with your next submittal. Since then, we have had discussions about this requirement.
The City has hired a soils engineer to study the site and assemble a report for our review. You
have indicated that this report would provide us with the information we need to review your
project. This report, however, will only address the soil conditions and recommendations for
replacing the storm drain; not development of the proposed single family home. Since the
boundaries of soil remediation are expected to be more extensive for development of the single-
family house and the recommendations for grading, construction and soil treatment for your
proposed development will be lacking in the report completed by the City, a soils report is still
required.
If the civil or soils engineer preparing the report has determined that many of the conditions and.
recommendations within the 1989 Geological Investigation Report are still valid, then referencing
the 1989 Report is acceptable. However, where inconsistencies with today's project and site
conditions occur, discussions and explanations shall be incorporated into the report. More
specifically, the redlined comments made October 17,2002 must be addressed (see attached) and
information from the letter from Larry R. Taylor, P.E., R.E.A. I1 of Taylor-Hunter Associates,
Inc. dated December 5,2002 and the cross section exhibits provided by Aquaterra Engineering
Inc. should be incorporated unless they are no longer valid.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (760) 602-2781.
Sincerely
Assistant Engineer
