used in the Administrative Rule and if not used, remove the terms from <br /> Section R-9.6710-A. <br /> Finding: The term "complex project" is not used in the Administrative Rule and has <br /> been removed from Section R-9.6710-A. The term "design azea" is used in <br /> - the Rule. <br /> Comment 3: R-9.6710-A. Design Area: Clarify the intent of the definition that states "and <br /> maybe randomly distributed throughout the development site." <br /> Finding: The definition has been modified. Development sites may have multiple soil <br /> types randomly distributed throughout the site with similar design constraints. <br /> Evaluation of the design criteria for the entire site is required. <br /> Comment 4: R-9.6710-A. Engineering Properties of Soil and Rock: the proposed <br /> Administrative Rule does not provide the quantitative standard method to <br /> determine erodibility. <br /> Finding: The professional is responsible for providing quantitative measures and <br /> identifying the standard by which they made the determination. Design <br /> professionals are encouraged to maximize their data collection according to <br /> the needs of the project, i.e. an erodibility measure that is necessary for <br /> erosion prevention permit application. No change is being made to this <br /> provision as a result of this comment. <br /> Comment 5: R-9.6710-A. Engineering Properties of Soil and Rock: Void ratio is an index <br /> property not an engineering property. Recommendation to use Terzaghi, <br /> Peck and Mesri definition from "Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice", 3`d +i, <br /> Ed. <br /> Finding: Void ratio has been removed from the list of engineering properties and <br /> added to the list of significant index properties. The definition for index <br /> properties provided in the Administrative Rules is consistent with Terzaghi, <br /> Peck and Mesri's definition. <br /> Comment 6: R-9.6710-A. Expansive Soil: Delete reference to "excessive" expansion and <br /> shrinking. <br /> Finding: Deletion made. <br /> Comment 7: R-9.6710-A. Qualified Registered Professional: Recommended alternative <br /> definitions by a number of people submitting comments. <br /> Finding: EC 9.6710(2) establishes that the geological and geotechnical analysis can be <br /> prepared by an Oregon licensed Engineering Geologist or an Oregon licensed <br /> Civil Engineer with geotechnical experience; the Rule describes these two <br /> professionals under the general term "Qualified Registered Professional." <br /> The Rule cannot alter the code provisions establishing who is allowed to <br /> prepare an analysis. No change is being made to this provision as a result of <br /> these comments. <br /> <br /> Administrative Order - 2 <br /> R:WDMINORD\RULES\03geotech2ao.wpd(03/26/03 ) <br /> <br />
