The soils within the park are silt loams which have a seasonal high water table that can be within 1 to 2 feet of the ground surface. Any below-grade structures constructed on this property should be designed with an adequate drainage system to depress the ground water adjacent to the structure. The dense silt and clay loams will be discovered at the footing depth, with a bearing capacity of at least 2,000 pounds per square foot. Soil borings should be undertaken for structures that will have a bearing capacity requirement in excess of that amount. The paved horseshoe shaped access road within the business park is approximately 1,700 feet in length with a 24-foot traveled way. The two entrances connect to the western lane of Route 105 and are located approximately 800 feet apart.

Three-phase overhead power is available within the business park access road right-of-way. Distribution lines in the area of the business park are operated at 12,470 volts. Lines serving the area are fed from the Berkshire sub-station, approximately four miles south of the park. The Richford Business Park is served by a gravity sewer system, which flows to a central pumping station located at the western boundary of the park. Waste water is pumped from the pumping station through a force main up to and along the right-of-way of Route 105 to the Richford Village waste water treatment plant. The pumping station has an average capacity of 20,000 gallons-per-day, and a peak capacity of approximately 115 gallons-per-minute. A reserve allocation for the business park of approximately 9,000 gallons-per-day is available. Park occupants share the electrical expense of the pumping station on a pro-rated basis.
