Diorite
belts lie very far from the dam site and are not shown
in the composite map. The largest body underlie the major
part of the project area (Plate III). The second belt,
which has a mazimum width of two kilometers, outcrops
along the road to Barrio Laboy, 3 kilometers east of the
dam site. The third belt comprises a dike complex near the
summit of the ridge at Em. 21. Contacts with the metamor-
phics, as a general rule, are sharp but very irregular.
Engulfed blocks of the intruded rocks are abundant, Rig-
matites are common along contact zones with the bedding
and cleavage structures usually preserved. Petamorphism
of the volcatics and sediments is mainly due to the diorite
intrusion.
The diorite is quite susceptible to weathering,
but below the water table the rock is massive and strong.
An understanding of this phenomenon has very important
engineering implications especially in the design of under-
ground structures that recuire excavations of considerable
dimensions.*
