Re: PRELIMINARY SUBSURFACE SOIL INVESTIGATION
DERRICK GALE -DETACHED ADDITION
7273 SOUTH INDIAN RIVER DRIVE
FORT PIERCE, FL
Dear Sirs:
The subsurface soils at the above referenced site have been investigated and the soil below the
intended structure is capable of supporting the structural foundation design load of 2500 psf.
Three ten -foot auger holes were investigated and found to contain soils consistent with those in the
surrounding area, which are capable of supporting loads not to exceed 2500 pounds per square
foot. One fifteen -foot probe penetration test was performed to determine the density of the existing
soil. These tests, performed in compliance of Section R401.4 of the 2017 Florida Building Code,
Residential, provided sufficient evidence that the underlying soils will support the proposed
structure.
Per the attached SCS Soil Survey information, the soils are consistent with and classified as Paola
Sand and are not expansive, compressive or otherwise of questionable characteristics. Therefore,
per Section R401.4, additional soil tests in accordance with FBC 1803.6 beyond this preliminary
report are not necessary 11111111
Respectfully submitted,

Verification Statement
This statement shall serve as verification that the soil beneath the proposed structure has been tested in accordance
with Section R401.4 of the 2017 Florida Building Code, Residential edition. The tests were conducted from the
existing grade.
Density tests were taken at a minimum of three (3) locations throughout the total depth of fill. The depth of fill was
approximately 2_5 feet. The foundation setbacks were based on information furnished by the client, at the time of
testing.
Based on the location and depths tested, we verify that the fill has been compacted to a minimum of 95% of the
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D-1557 and that the minimum soil bearing value beneath the proposed
foundation area is 2,500 pounds per square foot.
