(1) Silty Tovsotl: The majority of the site is overlain
by a one-foot layer of silty topsoil. The topsoil
has been penetrated by plant roots and organic
matter.
(2) Silty Clay and/or Sandy Silt: This stratum under-
lies the topsoil and extends to the gravel layer
below. The majority of this stratum consists of
non-plastic sandy silts. The silty clays make up
a small portion of the overburden. Heavy concen-
trations of sugar lime slurry waste were noted in
the clay stratum in Borings 3 and & The lime was
noted on the surface in the area of Boring No. •
and covered an area approximately two hundred (200)
square feet, The lime does not appear on the
surface in the area of Baring No. 3. No evidence of
concentrations of this lime material was noted in
the upper clays or silts in any of the other test
borings.
(3) Sand. Gravel and Cobbles: The gravel stratum under-
lies the upper clays and silts at depths of one and
one-half (1-1/2) to six and one-half (8-1/2) feet below
the surface and extends to depths of fifteen (15) to
eighteen (18) feet below the surface. The sand and
gravels are clean, and poorly graded Generally,
small cobbles three (3) to six (6) inches in six*
and ranging in size up to eight (8) to ten (10) inches
are distributed throughout the gravel stratum.
Numerous thin lenses of sand were noted in the
granular layer.
(4) Siltstone (Bedrock): The bedrock underlies the
gravel at depths of fifteen (15) to eighteen (18) feet
below the surface and extends to greater depths,
(5) Groundwater: At the tier a of the investigation, free
groundwater was noted at depths' of three and one-
half (3-1/2) to seven (7) feet below the surface.
These water levels are subject to change depending
upon seasonal variations and irrigational demands
on and adjacent to the property.
The test borings indicate that a layer of sand and gravel, ten
(10) to fifteen " one-half (15-1/2) feet thick is overlain by one and
one-half (1-1/2) to six and one-half (6-1/2) feet of overburden. The
majority of the gravel deposits are below existing groundwater levels,
and water levels can be expected to rise one (1) to two (2) feet
during the irrigation season. It is estimated that approximately
