'Chc clay/silt unit takes on a massive or more <br /> homogeneous appearance in its loWer portions. The base of this unit <br /> i.s observed in the recent s;eep face ncar the base of the slope. A <br /> section thickness of about dU feet is estimated for the clay/silts <br /> along this line. The clay/silts are underinin by a vcr}• dense, red- <br /> dish to tan-grey, medium sand stratum. The sands are interpreted to <br /> comprise the lowermost slope elevations. These sands are well bedded <br /> and are water bearing. Current sewer construction efforts are baing <br /> hindered by substantial ground water flow emanating from the dense <br /> sands. It would appear that these sands correlate with the materials <br /> encount,red at similar clevations in TP-4, 5, 6 and 7 in our previous <br /> exploratory efforts. <br /> Based on our interpretation of site topography, slope� and vegetation, <br /> it would appear that a str:itigraphic rel;itionship similar to the above <br /> � section exists along thc slopes within the �uhject lot arcas. <br /> Ground watcr activity is most prominent within thc basal sands along <br /> the lowermost siopc elev:itions. Iiowever, evidence of hillsidc scep�ge <br /> is indicated heloa �hout �•Icv:ition 400' , at or slightly :ibove the con- <br /> tact betwcen the upper sands and [hc hard clay/silt unit. Outwatcring <br /> along this zonc is not obscrvcd in thc sc�acr cut, but is indicatcJ along <br /> other portions of the s]upe.
