However, water flowing o��co these soils <br />from any source wi7.1 have an adverse effect on their workability and <br />strength. The soils overlying the basal till soils are also very <br />sensitive t� changes in moisture. Two facts are obvious at this <br />site. The first is, we know tY:ere is ground water lying above the <br />dense glacial till and second, it most likely will continue to rain. <br />Water control will be the key to success of the soils phase of this <br />project. Proper supervision and sound judgment should be of high <br />oriority. <br />� We stron9ly recommend the observation, inspection and/or testing of <br />� all phases of site development by the soils engineer or his quali- <br />fied representat:ve. Through this inspe:tion �ny necessary modifi- <br />cations to our recommendations could be made immediately with an <br />� appropriate solution. <br />�' <br />�. <br />� <br />� <br />u <br />
