Subject: Mauldin - Permit #BLRE-08-20-6425
Brad:
I am currently reviewing a new residence for Mauldin located at the Rapids on the Colorado subdivision, but before we
can finalize our review & issue a building permit we first need to receive a copy of the soils report as referenced on the
Structural Engineer's drawings. Our office was provided with a soils report for the subject property, but it doesn't match
up with information provided by the Structural Engineer. My guess is that there was perhaps a more recent soils report
completed (in 2019) that effectively updates the earlier study (dated 2004). In any case, we need to be provided with
the correct report as referenced by the Structural Engineer before we can approve for permit.
Please send to me via email a digital copy of this soils report so that we can finalize our plan review.

Jim,
Please take a look at your reference to the Kumar and Associates soils report on your sheet S1.0. It appears you have
referenced the incorrect report for this project. The correct report that was submitted to the County for the building
permit was done by HP Geotech (now Kumar) on March 31, 2004 and the reference number is 103-198. I have also
attached the report, which you should have in your files. If this is not the case and you have the correct reference,
please provide me with the soils report you are referencing so we have the correct info on file with the building permit
application.
