Frequently asked questions
Fitchburg sits on the Nashua. Does a granite gorge explain a Mill River cellar?
No. Fitchburg is a mill gorge on granite. Amherst is varved clay under the Holyoke Range, with two small rivers on the valley floor. October totals can look alike. The container is not. Do not copy a Nashua raceway diagnosis onto the Fort River.
Holyoke Range cut versus varved floor. Which October stain is the buried face?
Yes. The bench fails from uphill seepage and a buried face against till. The floor fails from two rivers that perch on clay. Treating both as river flooding misses the cut-slope problem on one and the varve problem on the other.
October is over. Why is the buried face of a Holyoke Range lot still wet?
That face is holding the hillside, not the river. Rain that entered the till above the house is still moving downslope days later. The Mill River sets the flood question for the floor; the cut slope sets the seepage question, and they are not the same job.
