Mithin the suspected artificial fill or <br />surficially modified ground areas, Lhe dense basal soils were found at greater <br />depths, and are overlain by variable materials. As shown 1n TP-5, TP-6, TP-7. <br />TP-9 and TP-10, artificial fi11 occurs overlying the native materials. During <br />our exploretion, we found that past grading probably has occurred in the area, <br />creating the present surface conditions. It appears that an old drainage <br />swale ma�y have occurred within the area, located approximately as shown on the <br />location map. As shown on the test pit logs, the dense basal soils are <br />overlain within the suspected deeper otd swale area by abou� 2 feet of brown, <br />medium dense, poorly sorted gravelly silty sand (netural) in a Met condition, <br />which is directly overtain by of variable and non-uniform artificial fill. <br />The artificial fill Nas found to vary from black/brown, loose, organic silty <br />sand, organic debris, wood, logs, etc., to grey and bravn, loose mixed <br />gravelly silty sar�d ►vitfi scattered organics. The filt appears to thin toward <br />the west, south and east, creating the indication of an old (filled) drainage <br />swale, and of grading and fitling along the easterly portion of the site. The <br />artificial fill, where encountered, appears to vary from about 2 to 8 feet <br />thick, but could be thicker within the area of the main old drainage swale. A <br />thin �about 1 foot thick) strata of arrtificial fill was encountered along the <br />top-of-slope area (see TP-2, TP-3 and TP-4), probably derived from past <br />clearing and grading operations within the area. <br />Hydrologic Conditions <br />The true ground water table was not encountered in any of the test pits <br />performed around the site area. Met to very wet conditions were observed <br />Within the fill areas, and particularly within the o1d drainage swale area. <br />These conditions are considered perched water, a condition create:d by the <br />occurrence of the relativety impermeable basal soils, where surface waters <br />cannot readily penetrate. Accumulated surface waters within the site flow <br />along the interface of the dense basal soils/overlying soils (or fi111, and <br />Y <br />� <br />
