Problem #1 Comments

The only real problem we identified was the new/old interface about 18" down from surface. CT 12. ECTN12. Very thin weak layer of buried SH or NSF. The snowpack is right side up. Small basal facets are moist and it took quite a bit of pounding/prying to get the column to fail at the ground.
