downward to the north and east with a tota� vertical rrlief of <br />approximately twenty (20) feet. However, surface features are <br />strongly influenced by topographic highs located at the southeast <br />corner of Mervyn's and between Shops "B" and the Drug Emporium <br />buildings. 'I'hese mounds, approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) <br />feet in hei9ht, are composed of relativel} recent :�an-placed fill <br />materials having a fine-grained texture. Vegetation on the <br />western portion of the site consist� of evergreen and deciduous <br />trees with undergrowth. 'Ifi e remainder of the site has been <br />cleared in the past and now supports small diameter alder <br />saplings, bushes and sparse field grasses. <br />Subsurface <br />The site was explered by drilling seven test borings and <br />excavating one test pit at the locations shown on Plate 2. <br />Detailed descriptions of the conditions encountered at each <br />location explored are presented on the boring and test pit logs <br />appended to this report. <br />The borings and the test pit revealed a relatively uniform <br />subsurface profile. In general, the site is underlain by dense, <br />glacially consolidated, silty sand with gravel till soils. This <br />unit is found at or near the surface in the central and northern <br />portions of the site as indicated by Sorings B-3, B-5, B-6 and <br />B-7• In the southeastern quadrant of the property, the till is <br />overlain by fill soils up to thirteen (13) feet in deyth. Test <br />Pit TP-1 near the southwest corner encountered three and one-half <br />feet of weathered till or possible fill soil. The fill is a brown <br />sandy silt containing organics, wood fragments and concrete/as- <br />phalt rubble. Dense till soil was found beneath the fill at all <br />locations except Boring B-1 where four and one-half feet of loa�e <br />weathered till separates the lower dense strata from the upper <br />fill soils. The borings were terminated in dense till soil at the <br />maximum depth drilled of twenty three (23) feet. <br />- 3 - <br />_ _ _. . . _. . _ . _ _ _ _ - �. <br />
