That portion of the lot was graded to bedrock, which is metamorphized clay (Gneiss) with a basalt intrusion. There is at most 10 inches of media on top of the bedrock consisting of 50% cobblestone and 50% loamy clay. I will construct a french drain along the bottom of the plat, about 8 inches below the present soil line. It will be serviced by an existing 3-inch drain pipe, currently buried under the orange bucket at the far end of the bed.
