I have a crawlspace in the basement that has a dirt floor right now.
I'd like to lay some sheets of 4x8 plywood (or other material) on it to
make a surface suitable for crawling on or putting things on. It will
lay right on top of dirt. It doesn't have to look good as it's in a
crawlspace in an unfinished basement. I't won't be exposed to rain but
there will be some moisture coming up through the dirt. Also, i'm
probably going to hose it off occasionally. In addition, every 5 years
or so it will be underwater for a day or two ...

I'd be tempted to cover the dirt with black plastic sheeting and lay down
cheap 1/2" or 3/4" plywood on top of it. You could try sealing the
plywood, but with the flooding I think it's a lost cause. Just plan on
replacing it every 5 years or so.

If termites could be a problem I'd just go with the plastic sheeting :-).
