Records in the subsurface database are classified into one of three categories that best characterizes the data contained within the borehole record. The classifications are:<\/SPAN><\/P>

Geotechnical: Boreholes and pits created with the intent to gain a detailed understanding of the subsurface lithology and soil or rock properties therein. These records have additional data beyond lithologic descriptions, including penetrometer resistance, shear and strength tests, and density measurements. The additional materials testing allows for a more detailed understanding of subsurface material properties.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Lithologic borings: These boreholes are drilled solely for the purpose of identifying subsurface lithology. Unlike geotechnical borings, material testing techniques were not used (or the results are not provided) for lithologic borings.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Test pits: Generally shallow excavations with either hand tools or mechanical equipment that are typically less than 20 feet in depth though may expose a greater area or \"working face\" to observe the subsurface lithology. Material testing techniques were not used on these pits, or the results are not provided.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "These data are intended to be used by used by geologists, engineers, planners, private-sector geoscientists, and the general public to identify geologic hazards, perform analyses of slope stability, downslope and downstream impacts, storm water management, and identify mitigation opportunities for construction or other land-development projects.
