Soil descriptions are based on the general approach presented in the Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils(Visual-Manual Procedure), <br /> as outlined in ASTM D 2488.Where laboratory index testing has been conducted,soil classifications are based on the Standard Test Method for Classification <br /> of Soils for Engineering Purposes,as outlined in ASTM D 2487. <br /> 2. Soil description terminology is based on visual estimates(in the absence of laboratory test data)of the percentages of each soil type and is defined as follows: <br /> 1 Primary Constituent: >50%-"GRAVEL,""SAND,""SILT,""CLAY,"etc. <br /> Secondary Constituents: >30%and<50%-"very gravelly,""very sandy,""very silty,"etc. <br /> >12%and<30%-"gravelly,""sandy,""silty,"etc. <br /> Additional Constituents: > 5%and<12%-"slightly gravelly,""slightly sandy,""slightly silty,"etc. <br /> < 5%-"trace gravel,""trace sand,""trace silt,'etc.,or not noted. <br /> Drilling and Sampling Key Field and Lab Test Data <br /> SAMPLE NUMBER&INTERVAL SAMPLER TYPE <br /> Code Description Code Description <br /> 1Sample Identification Number a 3.25-inch O.D.,2.42-inch I.D.Split Spoon PP=1.0 Pocket Penetrometer,tsf <br /> b 2.00-inch O.D.,1.50 inch I.D.Split Spoon TV=0.5 Torvane,tsf <br /> f----- Recovery Depth Interval c Shelby Tube PID=100 Photoionization Detector VOC screening,ppm <br /> 1-j 1 14— Sample Depth Interval d Grab Sample W=10 Moisture Content, <br /> ITT a Other-See text if applicable D=120 Dry Density,pcf <br /> "- Portion of Sample Retained 1 300-lb Hammer,30-inch Drop =60 Material_smallerthan No.200 sieve, <br /> for Archive or Analysis 2 140-lb Hammer,30-inch Drop GS Grain Size-See separate figure for data <br /> 3 Pushed AL Atterberg Limits-See separate figure for data <br /> 4 Other-See text if applicable GT Other Geotechnical Testing <br /> Groundwater CA Chemical Analysis <br /> 2 Approximate water elevation at time of drilling(ATD)or on date noted.
