Yes, I noticed that too. I recall asking around about what kind of
analysis could be conducted on the debris, which was really massed into a
solid block and almost impossible to break free. It was suggested that I
have some metalurgical and microscopic analysis done to determine what
kinds of metals, and if there were scale, filings, flakes, cut-offs,
etc. "Unfortunately" this excellent site was avoided by NYSDOT and no
further work or analysis was done, and it was therefore not recommended in
the report.
