In order of increasing depths, they <br />are as follows: <br />(1) Silty Topsoil and Fill ;•iaterial: The majority of the site is <br />overlain by a six (6) inch layer of silty topsoil. The <br />topsoil has been penetrated by root growth and organic rmiatter. <br />A two and one -half (2 -1/2) foot layer of fill consisting of a <br />mixture of clay, sand, and manure is located at the surface in <br />Boring 6. <br />(2) Sandy Silty Clay: This stratum underlies the topsoil in <br />Boring 5 and extends to a depth five (5) feet below the sur- <br />face. The silty clay is plastic, contains varying amounts of <br />sand, and is damp to moist in its in situ natural condition. <br />(3) Sandy Silt: The sandy silt stratum underlies the topsoil in <br />Borings 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9 and extends to the gravel stratum <br />below. The sandy silt is slightly plastic in its moist, <br />dense, in situ condition. <br />
