2.0 GEOLOGIC STATION DATA

Explanation: Detailed descriptions of surficial basin-fill

deposits and/or rock units were recorded at geologic stations

established at selected locations throughout the valley. All

data taken on surficial basin-fill units at the geologic sta-

tions are listed in Table 11-2-1, and an explanation of the

column headings in the table is given below. An example of the

field data sheet is shown in Figure 11-2-I. At stations where

rock descriptions were made, only geologic unit designations are

listed. A general explanation of all geologic unit symbols used

in Verification studies is included at the end of this section.

Column HeadingTable 11-2-2 Explanation

Station Number Geologic stations are numbered sequentially.(e.g., NCVG001; N= Nevada-Utah Study Area;CV= Valley abbreviation [Cave]; G= GeologyStation).

Geol. Unit Generalized mapped geologic unit (see expla-nation below). The grain-size designations (s,g, and f) indicate sand, gravel, and fines,respectively.

MPS (mm) Average Maximum Particle Size in millimeters.

Grain Size Estimated particle size distribution using the(%B, %C, %G, Unified Soil Classification System. Percent-%S, %F) ages of boulders (%B) and cobbles (%C) are

based on the entire deposit, whereas percent-ages of gravel (%G), sand (%S), and fines (%F)are taken only on the fraction composed ofparticles less than 3 inches (76 mm) in diam-eter. Note: The symbol IT (occasional) in-dicates between 1 and 5 percent; zero indicates0 to 1 percent.

GENERALIZED GEOLOGIC UNITS

Explanation

K Surficial Basin-fill Units

Al Younger Fluvial Deposits - Major recent stream channel andfloodplain deposits.

A2 Older Fluvial Deposits - Older incised stream channel andfloodplain deposits in elevated terraces bordering majorrecent drainages.

A3 Eolian deposits - Windblown deposits of sand occurring aseither thin sheets (A3s) or dunes (A3d).

A4 Playa and Lacustrine Deposits - Deposits occurring inmodern, active playas (A4) or in either inactive playas orolder lake beds and abandoned shorelines associated withextinct lakes (A4o).

A5 Alluvial Fan Deposits - Bodies of stream deposits whosesurfaces approximate segments of cones or a coalescing setof cones which radiate downslope from mountain fronts.Old-age (A5o), intermediate-age (A5i) , and young-age (A5y)fans are differentiated on the basis of surface morphology,drainage pattern, soil development, induration/cementation,and where applicable, its surface expression relative topluvial lake shoreline features.

A6 Plio-Pleistocene Sediments - Alluvial deposits locallycomposed of highly cemented gravels and sands near mountainfronts and/or pluvial deposits (sands and silts) from Plio-cene lake beds. These deposits are distinguished from re-latively younger units on the basis of surface morphology,soil development, degree of cementation and induration, andterrain conditions.

E Eite

E-TR-27-CV-II9

Grain sizes of these deposits are indicated by a single letter

(f, s, or g) following the geologic unit symbol. These letters

indicate the predominant grain size and range of soil types

according to the Unified Soil Classification System.

f - fine-grained clays and silts (ML, CL, MH, CH)

of a molten or partially molten mass.

11 Instrusive Rocks - Plutonic rocks formed by solidifica-

tion of molten material beneath the surface (e.g., gran-ite, granodiorite, diorite, gabbro).

12 Extrusive Rocks (intermediate and acidic) - Volcanicrocks of intermediate and acidic composition formed bysolidification of molten material at or near the surface,(e.g., rhyolite, latite, dacite, andesite).

13 Extrusive Rocks (basic) - Volcanic rocks of basic compo-sition, generally formed by solidification of moltenmaterials at or near the surface (e.g., basalt).

14 Extrusive Rocks (pyroclastic) - Rocks formed by accumula-tion of volcanic ejecta (e.g., ash, tuff, welded tuff,agglomerate).

S Sedimentary (undifferentiated) - Rocks formed from theconsolidation of accumulated clastic materials, organicmaterial, and/or chemically precipitated minerals.

Si Arenaceous and/or Siliceous Rocks - Composed of sandsizeparticles (e.g., sandstone, orthoquartzite) or of crypto-crystalline silica (e.g., opal, chert).

S2 Carbonate Rocks - Composed predominantly of calciumcarbonate formed by organic or inorganic precipitation(e.g., limestone, dolomite, chalk).

S3 Argillaceous Rocks - Composed of clay and silt-sizedparticles (e.g., siltstone, shale, claystone).

Ertec

E-TR-27-CV-I I10

S4 Evaporite Rocks - Precipitated from solution as a re-sult of evaporation (e.g., halite, gypsum, anhydrite,sylvite).

S5 Coarse Clastic Rocks - Composed of gravel sized or largerclasts (e.g., conglomerate, breccia).

M Metamorphic Rocks (undifferentiated) - Rocks formed throughrecrystallization in the solid state of preexisting rocks byheat and pressure.

M1 Coarse grained rocks formed by higher-grade regionalmetamorphism, either banded or granular (e.g., gneiss,granulite, amphibolite).

M2 Fine grained schistose rocks formed by lower graderegional metamorphism (e.g., schist, slate, phyllite).

M3 Nonfoliated rocks formed cheifly by contact metamorphism(e.g., hornfels, marble).

M4 Metaquartzite - rocks formed by metamorphism of highlysiliceous rocks.

Explanation: Existing ground-water data in Cave Valley were

collected from all available sources. These data were updated

where possible from measurements taken during Ertec field opera-

tions, and all data are shown in Table 11-3-1. Locations of

water wells drilled by Ertec Western, Inc. are shown in Drawing

II-1-I. Data from published water wells and wells drilled by

Ertec Western, Inc. are shown in Drawing 3-4. Well numbers

listed in the left hand column of Table 11-3-1 refer to well

locations shown on Drawing 3-4. Actual well numbers giving

location, according to the Bureau of Land Management Land Survey

System (Figure 11-3-I), are shown in the second column.

Water levels generally refer to the static ground-water table in

the unconfined basin-fill aquifer. Perched conditions or levels

in artesian aquifers are noted where known.

4.0 SEISMIC REFRACTION DATA

Explanation: Each figure shows seismic wave travel times plot-

ted versus surface distance between the energy source (shot) and

the detector (geophone) for a single seismic line. Distances

are measured along the line from geophone number 1 which is

designated as zero distance. Distances to the right (on the

paper) of geophone 1 are positive. The direction arrow gives

the approximate direction along the geophone array from geo-

phone 1 to geophone 24.

Travel Time Versus Distance Graph (Upper Half of Figure)

This is a travel time versus distance graph. The abscissa

represents distance; the ordinate, time. The six vertical

lines represent the locations of shots (designated as F, G, H,

I, J, and K). The symbol, X, denotes travel times at geophones

that were located to the right of a shot. The symbol, 0,

denotes travel times that were located to the left of shots.

Velocity Cross Section (Lower Half of Figure)

This is an interpreted velocity cross section beneath the seis-

mic line. The top line represents the ground-surface profile.

The short vertical lines crossing the top line mark the geo-

phone positions. The depth scale is plotted relative to a

point on the line which was arbitrarily chosen as "zero eleva-

tion" at the time the line was surveyed. The additional lines

across the cross section represent the interpreted boundaries

* between layers of material with different compressional wave

-Era

E-TR-27-CV-II18

velocities. These boundaries are commonly called "refractors".

The velocity interpreted to be representative of each layer is

shown.

5.0 ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY DATA

Explanation: Each figure in this section presents the data

obtained from a resistivity sounding and a tabulated model of

resistivity layers that would produce a curve similar to the

observed curve.

The upper portion of the figures is a graph in which measured

apparent resistivity values in ohm-meters are plotted versus

one-half the distance between the current electrodes.

The interpreted model tabulated at the bottom of the page shows

a combination of true resistivity layers and thicknesses ob-

tained by matching theoretical curves to the field curve.

6.0 BORING LOGS

Explanation: All data from borings, trenches, and test pits are

presented on standard Ertec Western logs in Sections 6.0 and

7.0. Explanations of the column headings on the logs are as

follows:

A. Designations - Borings, trenches, and test pits are identi-

fied as follows:

CV-B-lCV - abbreviation for the valley (e.g., CV-Cave)B - abbreviation for activity (e.g., B-boring, T-trench)

P-test pit)1 - number designation of activity

B. Sample Type - Different sampling techniques were used and

the symbols are explained at the bottom of the boring logs.

For details of the sampling techniques, see Section A5.0 of

Appendix A in Volume I. Horizontal lines, to scale, indi-

cate the depth where sampling was attempted.

C. Percent Recovery - The numbers shown represent the ratio

(in percent) of the soil sample recovered in the sampler to

the full penetration of the sampler.

D. N Value - Corresponds to standard penetration resistance,

which is the number of blows required to drive a standard

split-spoon sampler for the second and third of three

6-inch (15 cm) increments with a 140-pound (63.5 kg) hammer

falling 30 inches (76 cm) (ASTM D 1586-67).

E. Depth - Corresponds to depth below ground surface in meters

and feet.

F. Lithology - Graphic representation of the soil and rock

types.

AN _=Ertecr

E-TR-27-CV-I I41

G. USCS - Unified Soil Classification System (see Table 11-6-1

for complete details) symbols.

H. Soil Description - Except in cases where samples were clas-

sified based on laboratory test data, the descriptions are

based on visual classification. The procedures outlined in

ASTM D 2487-69, Classification of Soils for Engineering

Purposes, and ASTMD 2488-69, Description of Soils (Visual-

Manual Procedure), were followed. Solid lines across the

column indicate a known change in strata at the depth shown.

Definitions of some of the terms and criteria to describe

soils and conditions encountered during the exploration

follow.

Gradation A coarse-grained soil is well-graded if it has

a wide range in grain size and substantial

amounts of most intermediate particle sizes.

Poorly graded indicates that the soil consists

predominantly of one size (uniformly graded) or

has a wide range of sizes with some intermedi-

ate sizes obviously missing (gap-graded).

Moisture : Dry (D) - no feel of moisture - dry likepowder

SlightlyMoist (SM) - much less than optimum moistureMoist (M) - near optimum moisture for soil -

provides apparent cohesionVery Moist(VM) - much greater than optimum moistureWet (W) - for soils below the water table or

near saturation

Consistency: Consistency descriptions of coarse-grained

soils (GW, GP, GM, GC, SW, SP, SM, SC) are as

follows.

diameter ranging between 3 and 12 inches

(76 and 305 mm).

A boulder is a rock fragment, usually rounded

by weathering or abrasion, with an average

diameter of 12 inches (305 mm) or more.

I. Remarks - This column was provided on boring and trench logs

for comments regarding drilling difficulty, number and size

of cobbles or boulders encountered, loss of drilling fluid

* in the boring, trench wall stability, and other conditions

encountered during drilling and excavations.

J. Dry Density and Moisture Content - The boring logs include

a graphical display of laboratory test results for dry den-

sity (ASTM D 2937-71) in pounds per cubic foot and kilograms

per cubic meter and moisture content (ASTM D 2216-71) in

percent from representative samples taken during drilling.

The symbols are explained at the bottom of the boring logs.

E-TR-27-CV-I I46

K. Sieve Analysis - The numbers represent the percentage by

dry weight (ASTM D 422-63) of each ol: the following soil

components:

GR - Gravel, rock particles that will pass 3-inch (76 mm)sieve and are retained on the No. 4 (4.75 mm) sieve.

SA - Sand, soil particles passing the No. 4 sieve andretained on the No. 200 (0.075 mm) sieve.

FI - Fines, silt or clay, soil particles passing the No. 200

sieve.

L. Atterberg Limits (LL and PI) -

LL - Liquid Limit, the water content corresponding to thearbitrary limit between the liquid and plastic statesof consistency of a soil (ASTM D 423-66).

PL - Plastic Limit, the water content corresponding to anarbitrary limit between the plastic and the semisolidstate of consistency of a soil (ASTM D 424-59).

PI - Plasticity Index, numerical difference between theliquid limit (LL) and the plastic limit (PL) indicat-ing the range of moisture content within which a soil-water mixture is plastic.

NP - Nonplastic.

8.0 SURFICIAL SOIL SAMPLE LOGS

Explanation: Finalized logs of the surficial soil samples are

presented in this section. Explanations of the column headings

on the logs are as follows:

A. Activity Number - Surficial samples are identified as fol-

* lows:

CV-CS-1CV - abbreviation for the valley (e.g., CV - Cave)CS - abbreviation for surficial sample1 - number designation of activity

B. Ground Surface Elevation - Indicated elevations on the logs

are estimated from topographic maps of the study area with

an accuracy of half the contour interval.

C. Surficial Geologic Unit - Indicates the surficial geologic

unit in which the activity is located.

D. Depth - Indicates depth interval for which soil description

is given.

E. USCS - Unified Soil Classification System; see Table 11-6-1

of Section 6.0, "Boring Logs", for details of USCS.

F. Soil Description - Soil is described based on field visual

descriptions and/or laboratory test results. See Section

6.0, "Boring Logs", for procedures of soil description.

G. Sieve Analysis, LL and PI - These are from results of

laboratory tests. See Section 6.0, "Boring Logs", for

explanation.
