We have completed the testing you requested for your project. We under-
stand that a Swale drainage system is being proposed. The data from our
tests would be for the design of this system.
A representative of Ardaman & Associates, Inc. visited the site and
conducted two hand auger borings at the locations designated by you. The
results of the borings are presented on the boring profiles in the Appen-
dix. The soils encountered in the borings consisted of clean sand in the
top foot. These surface soil was underlain by silty to clayey sands to a
depth of 5 feet. The groundwater table was encountered at a depth of
about 3 feet below the ground surface. The permeability of these soils
is very low, and typically would not be suitable for the type of drainage
proposed. We discussed our findings with Mr. Marcus Vernon. With his
concurrence, the'permeab.ility tests were not conducted.
We are pleased to have been of assistance to you on this project. If you
have any questions, please call.
Very truly yours,
ARDAMAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
