Standard penetration tests (SPTs) were conducted during drilling to record blow counts (N-values) of soil samples taken every 6 inches. The samples were analyzed in the field for properties like density, moisture content, and grain size. Samples were also collected using 3-inch split spoon samplers with brass liners and sent to a lab for further testing. Twenty-one borings were drilled at various locations around three lakes on the quarry property, with depths ranging from 50 to 300 feet below ground surface. Boring logs and locations are presented in appendices.

Alameda County, California Page 20 samples for laboratory testing. SPTs were carried out during drilling and the results recorded on borelogs. Blow counts (N-values) required to drive the samplers were recorded every 6-in. The N-values were corrected for depth according to Peck, et al. (1974). Table 3 shows the number and depth of the borings. Borelogs can be found in Appendix A and boring locations are shown in Figures 10a and 10b and Appendix D. Visual classification according to ASTM D2488 (Visual- Manual Procedure) of each soil stratum was made in the field by the engineer or geologist at the time the test holes were drilled. Samples for laboratory testing were obtained using a 3-in California modified split spoon sampler containing 2.5-in brass or steel tube liners. The samplers were driven by a hand operated 140-lb hammer with a 30-in drop. Samples were analyzed in the field for identification by color, relative density, cohesiveness, field moisture, and visual grain size determination. Brass sleeves were sealed with plastic end caps and labeled for transportation to the laboratory.
