I should add that The styrofoam didnt end up going on the entire thing. I decided to only add it under the thickened footings part and extend out beyond the foundation to stop frost. I also used it up the slope a bit. This means that with a 5" concrete pour in the middle, the footings became 19" thick. I could have gotten away with as little as 16 but I tend to over engineer things out of fear.
