drilled with continuous -flight, hollow -stem auger equipment to depths of 50-1/2 and 40-1/2 feet, respectively. Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were collected from these borings and permeability test wells (permeameters) were installed in each. Boring P-1, located in the northern portion of the site, penetrated interlayered silts, clays, silty sands, and clayey sands to a depth of 25 feet. Below 25 feet, the boring encountered poorly to well -graded, dense clean sands. Such a thick deposit of clean sand is atypical for the site and was not discovered in any other borings on site. Boring P-2, located in the southern section of the site, penetrated interlayered silts and sandy silts, as well as very dense sands and silty sands to the entire depth. Thicknesses of layers ranged from 1-1/2 to 5 feet. Boring P-3 was drilled to explore intermediate depths and encountered primarily fine-grained soil to its total depth of 89 feet. Deep Barings G-1, and G-2, and G-3 were drilled to obtain samples of ground water beneath the proposed landfill site and to characterize the intervening materials. Boring G-1 was drilled with air -rotary drilling equipment and extended to a total depth of 166-1/2 feet, encountering ground water at a depth of approximately 150 feet. Intervening deposits consisted of heterogenous interlaying silt, clay, and sand. Finer -grained deposits predominated (see Drawing 2). Boring G-2 was drilled with mud -rotary rather than air -rotary drilling equipment due to borehole stability problems. The boring extended to a total depth of 156-1/2 feet, encountering ground water at a depth of approximately 148 feet. The boring encountered primarily fine-grained soil in the upper 40 feet, sandy soils below 80 feet, and predominant- ly sandy clays and silty sands, with several gravelly layers, below 101 feet (see Drawing 2 and Appendix A).
