Feasibility of Industrial Site Reclamation in the Moshassuck River Valley Pawtucket, Rhode Island

摘要

The chief objectives of the report were to conduct studies pertaining to the ultimate development of an industrial area with particular reference to hydrologic, hydraulic, and soils and foundations conditions from the points of view of providing for flood protection, stream control and the elimination of stream pollution, and the consideration of site preparation requirements and techniques. The conclusions are that the locations of the river, railroad and the principal highway involved should be confined to a single narrow corridor and that extensive earthmoving and corrective soils measures, and drainage works will be necessary to achieve a satisfactory site.
