We perfonned an Atterberg Limits test t~, <br />detennine tho sensitivity of the clay and found at the shrink swell potential is high (PJ. ... j 1. LL <br /> <br />:: 59). The three auger borings show mostly <br /> <br /> <br />to 20f with layers otday and sand from 20. to 30'. <br /> <br />The results of our borings ar~ similar to those btained from earlier testing. <br /> <br />~e placed three ~onitoring wells 1t\ he auger boring locations to check fOt a cone of <br />depn:&sion in the ground water. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />The clay has R high activity .potential. This means that its susceptibility to shrinking and <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />sweUing when exposed to water is ~gh. If the lay were more prevalent or closer to the surface, it <br /> <br />would possibly explain tho continued cracking. wever~ the borings show that the closest clay layer <br /> <br />cOd 500 ** NOI1~lS 30I^~3S 3IIWl$~V~ * 1950 eel GO <br /> <br />~G:ul L~-Ot-t86! <br />
