‘SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION
PROPOSED BARRON ROAD AND RIDGE ROAD SITES
STEWART AIRPORT
DATE: July 21, 1995
The subject preliminary report is attached. It is based on historic records,
a field inspection by Bureau Engineering Geologists and the knowledge of our
geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists familiar with design and
construction in similar conditions in the vicinity of these two sites.
Also attached is a listing of services the geotechnical engineering program is
capable of providing, if requested.
If further assistance is needed, please call me at 457-4712.
