Mz. Gary Gleason, P.E. 3 January 17, 2001 <br /> GME Project No. 9256 <br /> We drilled the borings with a BK51HD rig, using hollow stem augers to <br /> advance the boreholes and sampling by the split barrel method <br /> (ASTM: D 1586) . Our crew kept field logs noting the methods of drilling <br /> and sampling, along with Standard Penetration values, preliminary soil <br /> classifications, and observed groundwater levels . Representative <br /> portions of the recovered samples were sealed in jars to reduce moisture <br /> loss, and submitted to our laboratory for examination, testing and f 'inal <br /> classification by a Geotechnical Engineer. We backfilled the boreholes <br /> with soil cuttings to comply with current Minnesota Department of Health <br /> r�gulations . , <br /> LP,BORATORY TESTING <br /> T$e laboratory testing program was initiated by a Geotechnical Engineer <br /> examining each of the recovered samples to determine the major and minor <br /> soil companents, while also noting the color, degree of saturation, and <br /> lenses or seams found in the samples . Selected samples were testec� for <br /> moisture content; the results of these tests are shown on the respective <br /> lpgs in the Appendix. <br /> The Engineer visually/manually classified each sample on the basis of <br /> texture and plasticity in accordance with the Unified Classification Soil <br /> System (USCS) .
