JUL-31-1995 1103 1N BYUS 8 CO P.02 APPENDIX A W6984 4 Field Exploration The field exploration program conducted for this study consisted of excavating twelve test pits. The approximate exploration locations were obtained in the field by pacing from site features shown on a site plan provided by the client. Elevations of the explorations can be estimated by interpolation between contour lines indicated on the site plan. The locations shown of the Site and Exploration Plan should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. Test Pit Excavations Twelve test pits were excavated on 21 June 1990 with a rubber-tired backhoe operated by a local excavation contractor. Each test pit was continuously logged and observed by one of our experienced engineering geologists. In-situ strength and quality attributes of materials encountered in the test pits were estimated by our field observer based on experience with similar soils and on the difficulty incurred during excavation. Disturbed, but representative, samples of the soils in the test pits were retrieved, classified in the field, and transported in plastic containers to our laboratory for further evaluation and classification. The test pit logs presented in this appendix are based on inspection of the soil samples and on the field logs.
