SOILS REVIEW OF
LOTS l, 2, AND 3, DONAHO HOMESTEAD, ADDITION #1
SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject property is designated as Lots l, 2, and 3, Donaho
Homestead, Addition #1, described on the accompanying preliminary plat
and located within the Southeast One-Quarter (SE 1/4), Section 7, Town-
ship 14 North, Range'l West, Seward Meridian, Alaska. The lots contain
approximately 3.5 acres, and are bounded on the South and West by gravel
roads. The land generally slopes to the South and West and is Covered
with a dense stand of small birch, brush and scattered spruce. The ad-
joining properties on the South and West have been subdivided.
SOIL REVIEW
The ".Generalized Geologic Map of the Eagle River - Birchwood Area"
by Schmoll, Dobroyolny, & Zenone shows this area to be a combination of
coarse-grained alluvium terraces, and mixed coarse and fine-grained
glacial morraine deposits. Our test pit log closely parallels this
general classification. The road cut bordering the West property line
shows similar soils, possibly containing a higher percent of gravel
closer to the surface.
Based on the information acquired from field investigations, we
make the following recommendations.
1. Seepage pits should be based on a design factor of~
square feet per bedroom.
2. Top of the seepage pits should be located at or below 3.0 feet
to utilize the above de§ign factor.
3. It is recommended that seepage pits on the Northern most two
lots be set as deep as possible to guard against the seepage surfacing
along the road cut; also that seepage pits be located to the East and
North of the house locations, away from the road.
4. All existing State and Borough requirements should be complied
with.
