I <br /> Client: Jenkins Poultry Farms QCI# G-94-841 <br /> Project: Mello Road Ranch Page 4 <br /> lagoons were assigned a consistent clay content of 8 . 5% throughout <br /> this soil horizon, equaling 48, 238 lbs. of clay that was originally <br /> 12 <br /> present . A clay content percentage of %- (incorporating an <br /> additional 2% safety factor) was sought, or 68, 100 lbs . of clay. <br /> 68, 100 - 48, 238 = 19, 862 lbs . or 10 tons of clay was needed for <br /> importation into each lagoon. An additional safety factor was <br /> i incorporated, in which 13 tons of clay was added to each lagoon. <br /> The clay was imported from the NARCO clay mine iii lone, CA. <br /> After the addition and incorporation of the clay, soil samples from <br /> 0-8 inches were taken from the two lagoons . These locations are <br /> referenced on the attached map. Since the clay was incorporated as <br /> �- uniformly as possible, the samples retrieved were composited for <br /> each lagoon. <br /> The soil testing consisted of the hydrometer analysis for soil <br /> samples according to ASTM D422-63 Particle-size Analysis of Soils . <br /> ASTM D422 specifies the reporting limit for clay size particles as <br /> 0 . 005 mm or less, and gravel size as 4 mm or greater. <br /> 1 <br /> Subsequent hydrometer testing and sieve analyses of the soil <br /> samples indicates the south lagoon now possesses a clay content of <br /> 21. 0 percent, with 7 . 8 percent gravel content . The north lagoon <br /> yielded a clay content test result of 12 .2 percent and 6 .4 percent <br /> gravel . <br /> The following Tables contain the relevant test data, along with <br />.j semi-log graphs summarizing the results of the hydrometer analyses . <br /> jIf you have any questions regarding the information contained in <br /> this report, please feel free to contact our Modesto office . <br /> I <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTION, INC. <br /> j <br /> Don Ches R.E.A. 5ss Wry, P. <br /> A <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> �AM <br /> �!�Z, , �`�lullily �lu,lhn� f flp�NMllrlll <br />
