IVovember 7�1 1992 4 9?3-1175 <br /> thr weathered HU waa a dense, nonweathered till that eztended to the maximum depth of <br /> exca�ation. Compact to denee fnterbeds of glacial outrvash eand and gravel were <br /> encountered in eight of the test pits and ranged in thiekness from 1 foot to 2.3 feet. A <br /> {aose layer oE 811 leae than two Eeet in thicknese was encountered in test pib TP-2 and 1'F-S <br /> just below the topaoil and in test pit TP-15 at the ground aurface. <br /> Ceneral!y thr, aoil untb encountered in our teat pib consisted of the following: <br /> Ejj,j, The fill conaiated of looae, moderate brown to dark yellowish <br /> brown, eilt with aome fine to medium eand and little gravel. <br /> TOpSOIL The topsoil consisted of looae, dusky yeUowuh brown, ailt <br /> ; with aome fine to medtum sand, trace gravel, and abundant <br /> smaU roob. <br /> � WEATHERED TILL The weathered till coneisted of loose to compact, moderate <br /> I brown,fine to medium sand wtth aome ailt, Uttle to some <br /> gravel,and trace cobblea. <br /> lC�i '�Sjj The outwaeh con�i�ted of compad to dense, olive brown to <br /> light brown,eand and gravel, with little cobblee and trace silt. <br /> � �,], The till conaisted of den�e to very denae, light oGve gray, fine <br /> � to med:um sand with aome gravel, llttle atlt, and trace cobbles. <br /> i SurE�ce W�ter and Groundwater <br /> The aite wes predom(nately dry at the time of our investigaHon with the exception of three <br /> ' areaa of aurface water as shown on Figure 2. The aurface water in the northeast comer of <br /> the afte and the areaa ivithin the awale appear to be ponded behind soil mounded across <br /> naturel drainage paths as a result of previous clearing operoNona. Surface water waa al�o <br /> impounded within the emall depreasion located in the central pnrtion of the site. <br /> At the time of our fteld lnvestigatio� on November 10, and 11,1992, gtoundwater aeepage <br /> waa encountered in teat pib TP-9 and TP-10 at depths ranging from 2 feet to 4.6 feet. The <br /> groundwater aeepage was minor at a depth of 2 feet in teat p3t TP-9. Seepage in teat pit <br /> TP-10 waa aignificant with minor aeepage occurring at 4.6 feet and moderately heavy flow <br /> occurring at 6 feet to 9.2 feet. <br /> The groundwater enmuntered tn test pits TP-9 and TP-10 wa� confined within the <br /> • i�terbedded autwaah eand and gravel. Although groundwater waa encountered only in <br /> the northeast portion of the aite, it is possible, due to the existing soil sequence, for <br /> confined groundwater to be present at ather Iocallons. • <br /> i <br /> i <br /> � . <br /> � <br /> � polderAssoclates <br />
