explorations in soil and rock.
This guide is not intended to specify all of the information required
for preparing field logs.
Such requirements will vary depending on the purpose of the
investigation, the intended use of the
field log, and particular needs of the client or user.
This guide is applicable to boreholes, auger holes, excavated pits, or
other subsurface exposures
such as road side cuts or stream banks. This guide may serve as a
supplement to Guide D 420.
This guide may not be suited to all types of subsurface exploration
such as mining, agricultural,
geologic hazardous waste, or other special types of exploration.
