The swamp area on the west <br />site was covered by up to approximately four (4) feet of watee <br />wliicli was gently flowing from soutti to north. In addition, <br />shallow surtace water was also observed in wheel ruts on the <br />�destern site. <br />Subsurface <br />The two sites are, generally, imme�3iately underlain by <br />approximately three (3) to twenty-Eour (24) inches'of topsoil, <br />and the test pits encountered relatively similar conditions on <br />both sites. <br />East Site <br />Oeneath the surficial topsoil layer the eastern site i� <br />underlain by one (1) to tliree (3) feet oE loose to medium dense, <br />reddisti•-t�n to tan, moist to saturaled silty sand with gravel. <br />Test Pits TP-4 and TP-5 at Che west end of Uuilding 3 encounter- <br />ed approximately two (2) feet of loose, wet, Eill overlying the <br />topsoil layer. Underlying tl�e silly sand stratum, and to the <br />depths erplored, all tlie test pils on tliis site encountered <br />dense gravelly, ailty sands containing occasional cobbles, <br />(glacial till). These till soils exlend to considerable deptli <br />beneath the deptl� explored. <br />West Site <br />With the following �x�eptions the western site is s?milar <br />to the east site. Test Pit TP-1� in the northwest corner of the <br />slte encountered approximalely six (G)� teet of loose, wet, <br />gravelly, silty sand fill. 'flie lower two (2) Leet oE fill <br />mainly consisted of mixed wood debris and topsoil. Delow the <br />fill is about two (2) feet ot loosc gravelly. silty sand with <br />clay, organics and topsoil. Oenealh this ]ayer the test pit <br />encountered, and was terminaled'in, a den�e gray gravelly silty <br />sand till material. Test Pits TP-21 and TP-2� near tlie south- <br />west corner oE Building 4 encountered surficial loose, wet, <br />gravelly, silty sand fills conlaining clay pockets and aspha <br />�hunks. Underlying tlie fill in TP-21 was n sliallow layer oE <br />red-tan, medium dense silty gravelly sand tlien, to the depth , <br />explored, a dense, gray-tan, gravelly silty sand till. Beneath <br />the surficial fills in TP-20 a l:wo (2) fo�t layer of soft, brown . <br />peaty organic silt, overlying about three (3) feet of soft, <br />brown, fibrous peat, was encounlered. The peat was underlain by <br />a medium dense brown sandy gravel, to the depth explored. , <br />[arlh Consuhan:s, Inc. <br />
