seepage through clay fill

[Focht3]

Anyone know of a textbook or paper that discusses seepage flow through a (mostly) clay fill? This has to do with a litigation assignment; I can't share the particulars yet. (Perhaps in two weeks.)

I have a cut/fill site with clay fill and some (randomly distributed) clay/rock fill beneath a structure. Seepage is generally following the fill/native interface, but not completely. Anyone know of a reference that discusses this kind of scenario?

Thanks for any help you can provide -

Focht3 - you might try to contact Vic Milligan of Golder's directly. He would, or John Seychuk have a lot of information at hand.
