Local Conditions for Fill Dirt Work on Chincoteague Island

Chincoteague Island gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means you need to plan for drainage and washout if the fill dirt sits uncovered before compaction. About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which can make scheduling the delivery onto firm ground important.

With roughly 81 days a year dropping below 32F, the work window is affected by how much the ground moves during freeze-thaw cycles. However, ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the soil stays workable through most of the winter. Snowfall averages about 8 inches a year, which can cause plowing damage to a loose fill surface if it arrives before the material is compacted.

Soils mapped in the Chincoteague Island area are commonly moderately well drained, which means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Chincoteague Island is in hydrologic group A. That means it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so less drainage stone is needed under the fill. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
