The SOIL DATA ofDTH-1 says the grade is 98.3. Clarify the discrepancy. (CMR 15.220 (4)(h)). The grades provided at each testhole were correct. The existing contours had to be adjusted to correctly relate to the testhole elevations. 7. On proposed site plan, existing grade at the center ofI7H-2 appears to be 90.5.
