I attached a drawing with the approximate PIT <br /> locations. Here is a brief summary: <br /> PIT-1 (northern PIT) was completed at a depth of 4 feet. Very dense glacial soils were <br /> encountered at about 4 feet deep, or at the PIT elevation.The soils consisted of very dense silty <br /> sand with gravel (glacial till).The field testing resulted in a long-term design infiltration rate for <br /> PIT-1 of 0.15 inches per hour. <br /> PIT-2 (southern PIT). During excavation, moderate perched groundwater seepage was <br /> encountered at a depth of 3 feet and approximately 5 to 8 inches of water filled the excavation <br /> over a 3-hour period. Very dense silty sand with gravel (glacial till) was encountered at a depth <br /> of about 5 feet. The soils above this were relatively loose fine to coarse sand with silt and gravel. <br /> Due to the observed perched groundwater seepage, we could not perform a pilot infiltration <br /> test at a depth of 4 feet and infiltration at depths below 3 feet is not considered feasible in this <br /> area. <br /> We plan to wrap the PIT results into our geotechnical report for the project. I will check <br /> tomorrow to see when we can get you the updated report. <br /> Please let us know if you have any questions/comments. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Bob <br /> Robert C.
