If used, the edition of the Munsell chart should be specified on <br /> each borehole log as the color descriptions and hue, color values and chromas have <br /> changed between editions. Also, whenever possible, the newest version of Munsell's color <br /> charts should be used due to fading of color chips over time. <br /> • American Geological Institute (AGI) Data Sheets <br /> • Graph paper <br /> • Engineer's scale <br /> • Previous project reports and boring logs (if available) <br /> • Pocket knife or putty knife <br /> • Hand lens <br /> • Supply of clean water <br /> • Dilute hydrochloric acid (HCI) (make sure and MSDS for HCI is included in the project <br /> HASP) <br /> • Aluminum foil, Teflon® sheets, and paper towels <br /> • Sample containers (brass, stainless steel or aluminum liners, plastic or glass jars) <br /> • Clean rags or paper towels <br /> • Sample shipping and packaging supplies <br /> • Personnel and equipment decontamination supplies <br /> • Personal protective equipment as described in the Health and Safety Plan (HASP). <br /> B.3 Typical Procedures <br /> Soil classification and borehole logging should be conducted by a qualified geologist, engineer or <br /> other personnel trained and experienced in the classification of soils. <br /> Soils are typically logged in conjunction with advancing boreholes and sampling subsurface soils. <br /> Although the guideline focuses on classifying soil samples obtained from boreholes, this particular <br /> procedure also applies to soils and sediments collected using other techniques (e.g., post hole <br /> digger, scoop, Ekman, Ponar, or Van Veen grab samplers, and backhoe). <br /> The USCS as described in ASTM D2488-06 categorizes soils into 15 basic group names, each with <br /> distinct geologic and engineering properties. The following steps are required to classify a soil <br /> sample: <br /> Monitoring Well Installation Work Plan, B-2 <br /> Barrel Ten Quarter Circle Land Company, Escalon, California <br /> \\SFO\Groups\IS-GrcupWdmi n\Job\03\030118.27_BTCCLC\09-Reports\MW-Install-WPlnLAppendixV PP_B.doc <br />
