This is in reference to the as -built conditions at the base of the retaining wall at the northwest corner of
the Bio-retention basin.
The as -built conditions at this location are as follow:
1. The side slope of the Bio-retention basin at the retaining wall is approximately 1.7:1.
2. The top of the side slope is 3' from the bottom face of the retaining wall.
A review of the retaining wall design plans show that the wall was designed to have a 2:1 slope that
begins at the bottom face of wall. The as -built conditions as the bottom face of wall provide a more
stable condition than the conditions used for the design of the wall.
I have visited the site to inspection the as -built conditions. There is no visual evidence that the wall has
settled, or any movement has occurred. Construction has been completed for over a year.
I can confirm that the as -built conditions at the northwest corner of the Bio-retention basin have no
detrimental effect on the stability of the retaining wall.
If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Timothy Miller, P.E., L.S.
