Soil s:ir:ples from the <br /> exp'�rations were visually classified in che field and then tal:en to our <br /> laboratory where the classifications were verified in a relatively <br /> controlled laboratory environment Field and laboratory ubservations <br /> include density/consistency, moisiure condition, and, grain size and <br /> plasticity estimates. <br /> The classifications of selected samples were checked by laboratory.tesu <br /> such as Atterb:rg limiu determinations and grain size analyses. , <br /> C7assincadons were made in general accordance with the UniSed Srn7 <br /> Classification (USC� System, ASTM D 2457, as presented on Figure <br /> B-1. <br /> 1�'ater Contenl Determinations <br /> As soon as possible following their arriwal in our ]aboratory, water <br /> contents were determined for most samples recovered ln the <br /> explorations in general accordance with AST111 D 2216. Water contents <br /> were not determined for very small samples r,or samp]es where large <br /> gravel contents would result in values considered unrepresentaWe. The <br /> results of these tesu aze plotted at the resper.tive sample depth on the <br /> crploration log. In addition, water contents are routinely determined <br /> for samples subjected to other testing. These are also presented on the <br /> exploration logs. <br /> fltterberg Limits (AL) <br /> We d:termined Atterberg limiu for selected fine-graine,l so�l samgles. <br /> The Lquid 1 .ut and plastic limit were determined in general accordance <br /> with AS"T'D4 D 4313-3d.
