Phil,
Please find attached DRAFT report from SWCole regarding the soil conditions, soil stabilization, and potential remedial work to shore up the retaining wall on site.  Please note that this is draft format and final designs will be completed prior to review.  We are leaning towards option 2 as it solves more issues and has constructability advantages over option 1.  SWCole may provide us with a third option for consideration early next week.
As discussed yesterday ‑ we are sharing in draft format because we would like to proceed with bringing fill onto the site and backfilling the remaining portions of foundation currently placed.  This would be step one in either option per the attached report.   While we vet this out and start pricing, we request immediate review and approval to begin the fill/backfill operations on site.  Please forward to your engineer and let us know if you would like to meet or set up a conference call with us and SWCole.

We have attached a photo of the existing site with limits of backfill and buttress fill to be placed for a visual aid.  This depicts the work we are requesting to perform at this time.  Of course we will follow up with abutters prior to starting any work.

Thank you,
