Collect additional sampleusing the appropriatemethod as specifiedin the SEDC Work

Plan and SOPs.

Select representativesamples for testing

(approximately25% of total samples

collected for area).

Perform necessarygeotechnical testing

relative to material typebased on engineering

judgment at a minimumof 25% of the total

Modify/add samplelocations as specified

by the engineer.

Keep samples archived.

Perform SPT fieldtest and vane
