Many of <br /> <br />the soils are rock free with the exception of the cobble aquifer and <br /> <br />soils near the Book cliffs which often contain sandstone fragments. <br /> <br />Potential problems to be considered during preconstruct ion studies <br /> <br />of the canals and laterals include the expansive potential of the <br /> <br />soils and shale, high ground water table areas, soft saturated soils, <br /> <br />frost susceptible soils, and soil materials with a high salt content. <br /> <br />The exploration program to gather final design data will be planned to <br /> <br />address these potential problems. <br /> <br />Construction materials <br /> <br />Various types of earth materials would be required for lining of the <br /> <br />canals and laterals including fine-grained soils to reshape the prisms <br /> <br />prior to lining placement, embankment for detention ditches and dams, <br /> <br />gravel for surfacing operation and maintenance roads, and aggregate for <br /> <br />concrete structures and concrete lining. <br /> <br />The volume of each type of <br /> <br />material needed would vary greatly, with the fine-grained soils necessary <br /> <br />to reshape the canals totaling by far the greatest amount. <br /> <br />Field reconnaissance of material sites has been conducted to locate <br /> <br />large volumes of soils to refill and reshape the canals and laterals <br /> <br />prior to placement of the concrete lining. <br /> <br />The exploration was essen- <br /> <br />tially limited to north of the Government Highline Canal because the <br /> <br />lands south of this canal are either irrigated croplands or homesteads, <br /> <br />or are otherwise intensely developed. <br /> <br />Ten sites containing large <br /> <br />volumes of fine-grained soils classified as sandy silts, silty sands, and <br /> <br />44 <br />
