<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />~, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The site consists of a relatively flat area located within the <br />floodplain of the Cache la Poudre River. Most of the area consists of <br />irrigated, plowed farmland. An abandoned sanitary landfill is located <br />in the southeast corner of the area. Many trees are located along the <br />river and the irrigation ditch encountered on the property. Overhead <br />utility lines are located along the north property line. An existing <br />gravel pit is located adjacent to the northeast edge of the property. <br />SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS <br />The soil profile at the site consists of strata of materials <br />arranged in different combinations. In order of increasing depths, they <br />are as follows: <br />(1) Silty Topsoil: The majority of the site is overlain by a one- <br />half (z) to one (1) foot layer of silty topsoil. The topsoil <br />has been penetrated by plant roots and organic matter. <br />(2) Sandy Silty Clay: A layer of clay underlies the topsoil in <br />all but Boring 3 and extends to the sand and gravel below. <br />The silty clay is plastic, contains varying amounts of sand, <br />and is damp to moist in its natural state. <br />(3) Sand and Gravel: The gravel was encountered below the clay <br />and topsoil at depths of one-half (2) to five (5) feet below <br />the surface and extends to the bedrock below. The sand and <br />fine gravel is clean to slightly silty and poorly graded. It <br />is estimated that the gravel within the stratum ranges in size <br />up to three (3) inches in diameter. <br /> <br />
