It will sink, I've tried this at work several times.
I needed to know how much fill dirt I could take to the transfer station at one time without exceeding a half ton load capacity, which translates to, How many 5 gal buckets of soil would this be?
So I took a sample of soil and measured the volume and the weight, and the density came out slightly less than that of water.
I didn't believe it so I put the (plastic) bucket in a pond.
It did float.
Whaddya', whaddya'. . .?
When I was young I worked installing sewer pipes to houses, anytime we were leaving a pipe overnight we attach an elbow and filled it with water. We never had a trench full of water but I guess the boss had seen that movie. They always had a plug at the street for the test.
FEMA takes the high moral ground? You should thank them for making it clear early on that you all will have to sue some agency to get this fixed.FEMA says we should be "ashamed of ourselves" for trying to piggyback the need for a road to our community on that tragedy. 250 people's homes are cut off and they think we're just whining?
