Doesthe SSAP
provide adequateinformation to complete
the engineeringdesign?
Is
DAD
Report completed
and approved for
candidate Phase 1
areas?
Does
the SEDC
require test borings
in candidate
Phase 1
areas?
Does
the
bathymetry
affect the boring
location?
Maytriaxial or
Atterberg limit testingbe required due to
materialtype?
Does
the SEDC
require inventory
of river-related
infrastructure?
Isthe materialhomogenous
based on visual/USCSclassification of
the SSAPdata?
Canthe borings
be spaced evenly(laterally) within the
candidatearea?
DoesSEDC need
to be performed inthe candidate Phase 1areas with additionalintrusive field work
and labtesting?
Areborings
required in areasadjacent to candidate
Phase 1 areas todetermine potential
dredge prismgeometry?
Doesthe SEDC
require test boringsin areas adjacent to
candidate Phase 1 areasto determine potential
shoreline slopestability?
Adjust boring locationto capture anomalies
(not related tosediment type).
Modify boring plan toplace boring in areas
of concern alongthe shoreline.
Modify boring plan toestablish limits of the
dredge prism (possiblydue to rock outcrop).
Collect Shelby tubesample for potential
triaxial testing; also collectsamples for possibleAtterberg limit testing.
Modify boringtermination to 25 feet
below mudline.
Modify boring locationrelative to water depth(i.e., inaccessible due
to shallow water).
Create a flexible SEDCprogram to enable the
design to proceed.
Space borings tocapture material
variation/stratigraphy.
Perform desktopgeotechnical
analysis.

Havethe sample
locations (forfield work)
been identified?
Dothe samples
require testing (i.e.,grain size distribution,
shear strength,etc.)?
Doesthe dredge
area containsand/gravelmaterials?
Doesthe dredge
area consist ofa uniform
material type?
Doesthe dredge
area containsilts/clays?
Doesthe
dredge areacontain
organics?
Basedon field visual
classification andadditional sampling
required (e.g., clay/siltymaterial would require
a Shelbytube)
Collect additional sampleusing the appropriatemethod as specifiedin the SEDC Work
Plan and SOPs.
Select representativesamples for testing
(approximately25% of total samples
collected for area).
Perform necessarygeotechnical testing
relative to material typebased on engineering
judgment at a minimumof 25% of the total
samples.
Modify/add samplelocations as specified
by the engineer.
Keep samples archived.
Perform SPT fieldtest and vane
shear test.
