15 used (noun only; e.g., Very Gravelly VGR GRV ≥ 35% but < 60% gravel loam). Extremely Gravelly XGR GRX ≥ 60% but < 90% gravel Use adjective for Cobbly CB CB ≥ 15% but < 35% cobbles 15 to < 35 appropriate size; e.g., Very Cobbly VCB CBV ≥ 35% but < 60% cobbles gravelly. Extremely Cobbly XCB CBX ≥ 60% but < 90% cobbles Use “very” with the Stony ST ST ≥ 15% but < 35% stones 35 to < 60 appropriate size adjective; Very Stony VST STV ≥ 35% but < 60% stones e.g., very gravelly. Extremely Stony XST STX ≥ 60% but < 90% stones Use “extremely” with the Boudlery BY BY ≥ 15% but < 35% boulders 60 to < 90 appropriate size adjective; Very Bouldery VBY BYV ≥ 35% but < 60% boulders e.g., extremely gravelly. Extremely Bouldery XBY BYX ≥ 60% but < 90% boulders No adjective modifier. If ≤ Channery CN CN ≥ 15% but < 35% channers 10% fine earth, use the Very Channery VCN CNV ≥ 35% but < 60% channers appropriate noun for the ≥ 90 Extremely Channery XCN CNX ≥ 60% but < 90% channers dominant size class; e.g., Flaggy FL FL ≥ 15% but < 35% flagstones gravel. Use terms in lieu of Very Flaggy VFL FLV ≥ 35% but < 60% flagstones texture. Extremely Flaggy XFL FLX ≥ 60% but < 90% flagstones

SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION PROCEDURE: TEST PIT EXCAVATION A test pit is an excavation of subsurface materials to characterize the composition and rippability/excavation efforts. Test pit exploration allows observation of the boundary relationships within a soil and rock profile and is useful to identify existing fill composition, disturbed material or the depth of soft sediments. Both track mounted excavators and backhoes are used in a variety of ground conditions allowing for difficult terrain to be accessed. The excavation process also provides access for in-situ and field testing and acquisition of samples for laboratory testing. TEST PIT Procedure:  Involves excavation subsurface material to observe composition and physical characteristics  Recording the approximate depth of subsurface strata  Excavation is continued as prescribed or to limits of equipment and subsurface conditions  The exploration is typically carried out with an excavator or backhoe, with the depth dependent on machine size and ground
