tan to brown, sandy clay with gravel and cobble lenses. <br />In addition to the information obtained from test borings, <br />-I described above, a general reconnaissance of the pile and <br />I observation of present disposal operations were performed to <br />evaluate existing slopes, consistency throughout the pile and <br />method of disposal. <br />Although conditions at or near the location of the fine refuse <br />pond were quite variable, conditions in all other areas of the <br />pile were observed to be relatively consistent. Slopes from as <br />flat as 10 horizontal to 1 vertical on the south side of the pile <br />to as steep as 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical on the north and west <br />sides of the pile were observed. <br />The present methods of disposal, which were discussed in a <br />previous section, were being performed in a satisfactory manner <br />and in-place density tests performed on compacted fine and coarse <br />refuse produced results in excess of 90 percent proctor density. <br />I The results of these tests are shown in Table 2. The exception <br />1 to this was the fine refuse pond area. Measures to remove and/or <br />contain this area to minimize impact on the refuse pile will be <br />1 discussed in later sections. <br />Samples for laboratory testing were obtained from borings and <br />directly from production operations. <br />LABORATORY TESTING <br />I The laboratory testing program consisted of: <br />I • Classification tests including moisture content and grain <br />4 <br />
