19 Miss. Code. R. 7-5.06.1.4 - Raised Soil Pad
If the installation site is flat or is in a low area, the soil must be brought to the site to create the proper grading under the home. The fill material for the pad of soil must be placed on each home installation site such that the dimensions of the pad will extend a minimum distance of 10 ft beyond each side of the home. The soil pad fill material must be compacted to 90 percent of maximum relative density to provide the proper load bearing capacity for the support pier footings. Loose sands, gravel or other non-compactable materials are not to be used as the fill material for the pad. The soil under the home shall be compacted and adequately crowned and sloped from the centerline of the home and provide a minimum slope of - inch per foot out and away a minimum distance of 10 ft from each side of the home (see Figure 3), except where property lines, walls, slopes or other physical conditions prohibit maintaining the minimum distance from the sides of the home. All depressions in the soil pad resulting from the use of the transportation equipment moving the home onto the installation site shall be properly filled and graded by the installer/transporter before departing the installation site.
