Property Description |
This 43.9± acre parcel offers a mix of open pit area, level benches, and natural vegetation overlying a glaciofluvial deposit. Field logs from July 2023 describe dense, well-graded gravel/sand with frequent cobbles and boulders below shallow topsoil; drilling was halted by sloughing/water at ~2.0-2.5 m, indicating the deposit remains open at depth in places. The assessment recognizes an active gravel-pit portion with the remainder in native range/pasture.
