My area has a lot of Peat.  A mile from me one bog burned about 40 feet down for around 30 years.  Great source of Carbon Monoxide. The local fire department simply gave up on digging and pouring water on it, they said it will go out sometime.  They were right.  Now it's a mobile home park. 

The Peat bogs around this area are now in more urban areas, so someone decided to "float" houses on a slab on it, and they put in hundreds. I don't know any of the homeowners, but I wonder what the long term results are.

The main problem with Peat (if you use it for fill), is that it won't compact and stays like Jello for many, many years. 

The Germans build highways over it.  They build them like a bridge, with pillars going down to bedrock.

They tried friction pilings that didn't go all the way to bedrock (and a LOT of them) but the peat allows too much lateral movement.

Don't know but we could of had the other candidate.

That was Trump's best attribute - he wasn't Hillary.
