I would think that there might some serious settling problems once the
base is poured. Can you get to a firm soil layer within 6-feet of
surface? It might a REAL GOOD idea to check with a contractor or soils
engineer for a little advice (not necessarily a soils/footing design)
about the ability of the subsurface material to support the load.
Otherwise, you might see your tower sink slowly into the ooze...not kidding!
