.. <br />� <br />: <br />J-736 <br />Page 4 <br />Subsurface Conditions <br />Subsurface conditions as disclosed by the 14 test pit ex- <br />plorations.indicate soils ranging from very dense glaci.al T1LL <br />to very stiff clayey SILTS. Three basic soil types can be <br />assumed to represent subsurface conditions. These soil types <br />are d�scribed i� the following pazagraphs and are generalized <br />representations of the individual test pit logs presented in <br />Appendix A. <br />FILL: Loose to medium dense, generally wet or saturated, gray- <br />brown to black, silty, gravelly, SAND. The FILL was <br />< <br />encountered throughout most of the southern two thirds <br />of the site, was generally surficial (ranging in depths <br />of 1.0 to 2.0 feet) and was relatively free of organic <br />and other debris except for moderate fine roots. However, <br />FI�L in the area of TP-7 was disclosed to a depth of <br />about seven feet and contained abundant organic, wood, <br />steel, concrete and brick debris. These FILL soils <br />should be distinguished from the mounded rubble piles <br />that exist across the western one-third of the site as <br />described previously under "Site Conditions", <br />SILTS: Very stiff to hard, wet, mottled gray to tan to gray, <br />very clayey SILTS, SILTS, and sandy SILTS. These SILT <br />soils were generally encoim tered within the lower ele- <br />vations on the north and northeastern portions of the <br />site. Test pits within this area disclosed these SILT <br />soils from about 2.0 to 11,5 feeC below the ground sur- <br />face. • <br />GLACIAL TILL: Very dense, moist or w�t, gray, silty, gravelly <br />SAND with occasioaal cobbles. GLACIAL TILL generall� <br />was ubse.rved to have a 1 to 3 foot thick Tveathered zone <br />which was generally medium dense to dense, wet, mottled <br />
