V. SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND SAt-iPLE PREPARATION Drill hole G-59 was re drilled when it was discovered • the top 20 feet of drill core was missing. Replacement of the missing core was accomplished by redrilling to a depth oi= 30 feet from the original drill site. Drill cuttings were collected and divided into five sections, basis soil an :? rock identities, by J. Semborski, Colowyo geologist. Selected two-foot core sections were sampled from the core boxes on the basis of the litho Logy report shown in Figure 3. & B Horizon Soils. 0 to 5 feet Sample No. 38 represents the A horizon soil, i.e., topsoil, which shows a thickness of 2 feet in the vicinity of G-~9. The collected sample is characterized as dark broom in color and is a sandy clay soil (Figure 3). Recorded weight of the sample was 1,984 g. (see Table II). B horizon soil, sample No. 37, has a thickness of 3 feet; • depth of core measured from 2 feet to 5 feet. The soil is described as a silty clay containing fragments of weathered sandstone and is brown to gray in color. Recorded weight of sample equalled 1,829 g., as received. rmost Interburden, 5 feet to 28 feet Interburden samples--Nos. 30, 35 and 34--represent the core interval between 5 feet and 28 feet. The samples are described as brocanish in color, which becomes lighter in color with increasing depth. ~Rt'consis~ mainly of sandstone and clay, stained c~ith iron oxide (see Figure 3). Weights of the separate fractions appear in Table II. Interburden Bcloco 28 feet Dcnth dos. The remaining core footage for sample aes. 33 to 1 are described in detail in Figure 3, the ].ithology report (SecCion IV). • Weights of the selected core sections, as received, and tl~e moisture contents of each sample appear in Table II, this section.
