Heavy Demolition in 4 k!

What happens here

A local city inspector visits the site to ensure the demolition and backfilling meet local codes. The contractor explains that all concrete from the pool bottom and walls is being hauled out. The inspector clarifies that any remaining concrete chunks in the backfill must be no larger than 12 inches to prevent future settlement issues for any subsequent construction on the site. He emphasizes that leaving larger debris creates a problem for future builders.

Goal: Understand and adhere to local backfill regulations
