Based on the above listed test results, and our past experience, it is our opinion that pavement
subgrade soils tested do not necessarily need to be lime stabilized. The soils tested are similar to
those encountered at test borings advanced as part of our original geotechnical investigation (Report
No. Y-198-0125 dated February 12, 1998).
Recommendations for pavements sections, that do not utilize lime stabilization as well as all of the
recommendations included in our original report remain valid.
if you have an3: questions or if you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely.
GEE Consultants, btc.
