The mud quickly clogged culverts under Wapping Road, Route 5/10, and the Pan Am Southern Railway tracks, partially filled in wetlands on both sides of Route 5/10, and partially filled in drainage ditches upgradient of these wetlands. This resulted in localized flooding of property along the east side of Route 5/10. Prepared for the Deerfield Board of Selectman and Board of Public Health 19 pages.
