Some isolated pockets <br />of peat, muck, and topsoil which have very low <br />bearing capacities are also present on the site. <br />These materials are not anticipated to create con- <br />struction problems as they may either be excavated <br />and refilled as necessary or structures may be <br />placed in other areas of the site. The soil bor- <br />ings also revealed the subsurface presence of wood <br />blocks and bricks suggesting that portions of the <br />site have been partially filled with debris. The <br />irregular topography of the site further suggests <br />the site had previously undergone some cutting and <br />filling. <br /> <br />Surface Water - The surface hydrology of the site <br />as it exists today is a result of human error and <br />natural drainage bottlenecks. Prior to develop- <br />ment in the area the surface hydrology consisted <br />of a landlocked pond with overflow drainage to the <br />west and a second depression which drained easterly <br />to an off-site pond having a bottom elevation below <br />830 feet. <br /> <br />The westerly pond located on the proposed Windsor <br />Center restaurant sites has a bottom elevation of <br />approximately 939 feet. Prior to the construction <br />of Silver Lake Road, this pond probably flowed <br />westward to Silver Lake during highwater periods. <br />In the construction of Silver Lake Road, which <br />bounds the site on the west, the roadbed was built <br />up and subsequently interrupted the westerly flow <br />creating a landlocked pond. As a result, the pond <br /> <br />111-2 <br />
