The International Building Code regulates quantities of hazardous materials based on the

oor above or below grade on which they are located; higher oor levels are permitted l

material quantities. This becomes a concern on upper oor levels where limitations on

quantities will require close attention from an operations standpoint. This issue is dealt

Madison,Wisconsin.

Based on the results of the laboratory and eld tests, the existing ll material is not suita

for foundation support of the proposed Phase II buildings including oor slab areas. Be

the ll material, the underlying native soil strata are of sufcient strength to provide for

stable,long-termfoundationsupportfortheproposedPhaseIIBiochemistrybuildings.
