REPORT
OF A
GRAVEL ANALYSIS
SCOPE
This report presents the results of a Gravel Analysis prepared for
the proposed gravel pit located along tl-e Cache la Poudre River, north
of Greeley, Colorado. The investigation was carried out by means of
test borings and laboratory testing of samples obtained from these
borings.
The objectives of this investigation were to (1) determine the soil
profile and groundwater elevations at the site, and (2) determine the
quantity and quality of the gravel encountered.
SITE INVESTIGATION
The field investigation, carried out on February 16, 1978, consisted
of drilling, logging, and sampling eight (8) test borings. The locations
of the test borings are shown on the Test Boring Location Plan included
on page 5 of this report. Boring logs prepared from the field logs are
shown on pages 7 and 8. These logs show soils encountered, location
of sampling, and groundwater at the time of the investigation.
All borings were advanced with a four-inch diameter, continuous-
type, power-flight auger drill. During the drilling operations, a field
engineer from Empire Laboratories, Inc. was present and made a continuous
visual inspection of the soils encountered.
SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The proposed pit is located along the Cache la Poudre River north
of Island Grove Park, north of Greeley, Colorado. More particularly,
the area is described as a tract of land situate in Section 31, Township
6 North, Range 65 'Jest of the Sixth P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
