EN"vLFO; :". CTION ik YI;.' 1 C, 180 We have submitted the final plat of Scimitar Subdivision Unit No. 3 for filing. Based on the subsurface soils in- formation from adjacent subdivisions and test holes within Scimitar Subdivision, the subdivision plat was approved subject to resolving soils with DHEP. DHEP's recommendation dated February 21, 1978 for S-4692 stated "We (DHEP) are in accord with general soils in the vicinity, but this Department must have soils data and locations of test holes shown on the plat." On March 17, 1980 we had a meeting with you to discuss the soils and review the existing test hole locations and data. The outcome of the meeting was that you wanted us to inspect the road cuts and provide you with a report of our findings. On May 13, 1980 we visited the site and obtained representa- tive soils samples from the road cuts. The following is our findings. There were two areas which we looked at that didn't have test holes. The first area encompasses Lots 1 through 5, Block 3, and the second area is at the south end of Belduque cul-de-sac. In the first area, we took two soils samples approximately 15 feet down in the cut; one at the northerly end of the road cut for Sieka Drive in the area of lot line 3&4, Block 3 and the other near the south end of the cut on Lot 2, Block 3. The material exposed by the cut varies from Municipality of Anchorage DHEP May 15, 1980 Page 2 Silty Sandy Gravel, GM (Sample 1) to poorly graded course Gravelly Sand, SP -GP (Sample 2). The area was predominently Gravel y Sand except the northerly end where Sample 1 was taken which varies between the two materials. The second area we sampled at the south end of Belduque was a shallower sample taken from the old road cut. It was Gravelly Sand/Sandy Gravel, GP/GW (Sample 3). It indicated The same soil yt pe as encountered by Test Hole #1 to the east and Test Hole #2 to the north. In reviewing the existing test hole data and road cuts, we have concluded that the area is predominently GW, with some SP and small areas of GM and GP. In the northern area (Lots 3, 4 & 5, Block 3) where the smaller areas of GM were encountered in the road cut, the lot owners may want to explore their lots to find the most economical location for an on-site system. In conclusion, it is our opinion that an on-site sewage disposal system can be used on each lot in this subdivision unit. If you have any questions or need additional informa- tion, please give us a call. RPG:rb Enclosures Very truly yours, DOWL ENGINEERS Robert P. Grier, P.E. MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGF DEPT.
