Groundwater level variations will occur UC Unconfined Compressive <br /> over time. In low permeability soils,accurate Strength <br /> determination of groundwater levels is not <br /> possible with short term water level (PID) Photo-Ionization Detector <br /> observations. <br /> (OVA) Organic Vapor Analyzer <br /> DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION <br /> Soil classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50%of their <br /> dry weight retained on a#200 sieve;their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils <br /> have less than 50%of their dry weight retained on a#200 sieve;they are principally described as clays if they are plastic, <br /> and silts if they are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents <br /> may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are <br /> defined on the basis of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency. <br /> LOCATION AND ELEVATION NOTES <br /> Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device.The <br /> accuracy of such devices is variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/-indicates that no actual topographical <br /> survey was conducted to confirm the surface elevation. Instead,the surface elevation was approximately determined from <br /> topographic maps of the area. <br /> STRENGTH TERMS <br /> RELATIVE DENSITY OF COARSE-GRAINED SOILS CONSISTENCY OF FINE-GRAINED SOILS <br /> (More than 50%retained on No.200 sieve.)
