Glecial till is characterized as <br /> a dense, unsorted-r,�ixture of sand, silt and grevel, which was deposited at the base of the continental <br /> glaciers. Transitio�il beds are described as consisting of clay, silt and very fine send. Our explorntions <br /> encouuterod fill an� ;uierbedded silts and fine sands, which appeared co be siunilat to description of the <br /> transitiond beds in the above nfecsnced map. � <br /> � � � <br /> E=plorxtians <br /> Ilie sub�•irfece conditions at the site were explored on April 28, 1999. Eight test piu wae excevated <br /> with a rubber-tired, tractor-mountcd backhoe. The depths of the backhoe test pits raaged itont 6 to I 1 <br /> feet below the e!cisting ground surface. The approximate locations of the rest piU ere shown on the Site <br /> Plan in Figuee 2. A geologist from our fum was present during t6e explorarions to exacnine the soils end <br /> ceologic: conditions ancountercd,and to maintain logs of the Lest pits. The soils we_c oisually claasiSed <br /> in genecal accordwce with the Unified Soil Classificatioa 5ystem,a copy of which is shown on Figure 3. <br /> The logs of the test pits, edited to reflect exnmination of soil samples in our labotatory, arc shown on <br /> Fi6ures 4 tivough 6.

In Test Pit 6 the su�cial materiel consisted of various types of conshuction <br /> and I�ousehold debris to a depth of 1 fat. This e.rploration was located within an old building footprint. <br /> � . <br /> . NELSON-COCIVRE'7TE&ASSOCfATES, 1NC. <br />
