Earthwork can normally only be accomplished from 15 March to 15 November. Paving is normally accomplished from 15 May through 01 October. Structural work may generally be accomplished on a year round basis, but it must be protected from temperature extremes. Built-up roof construction is generally limited to the period from 15 May through 15 October.

2.3 Soil and Foundation Considerations:

Typical soils range from sand to silty sand with thin discontinuous layers of silty clay and clayey silt being common. Potable wells have a static water level of approximately 500 feet below the surface; however, perched water may be encountered at more shallow depths. The average soil pH is approximately 7.8.
