Attached is some <br /> information about soils on the site from our soil survey. <br /> The soils present are White Store . These soils have a very <br /> high shrink-swell potential . The homes should have <br /> foundations and footings to withstand this . This can be <br /> overcome . You can see homes in the area that have been <br /> damaged because this was not taken into account . <br /> GW: Jw <br /> Enclosures <br /> — <br /> �� � � � � ��:�� <br /> ^" ^- ° � ' ° ^� ^� <br /> MAR 1M ��� <br /> / /r,.� . � `��� <br /> 8nxH <br /> '"~= <br />
