About this file

This is a particle size analysis laboratory report for soil testing conducted by Twin Peaks, a testing and inspection firm. The analysis was performed on beach sand samples from the Eastern Deposition Basin collected for the Fire Island and Shores Temporary Project (TPI), a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredging project managed by Norfolk Dredging Company under federal contract W912DS-24-C0014. The material was received on February 19, 2025, and analyzed on May 28, 2025, by technician G. Delos Santos.

The sieve analysis results indicate the beach sand sample is predominantly composed of medium sand (41.2% retained at No. 40 sieve, 0.42mm), with significant portions of fine sand (15.2% retained at No. 30 sieve, 0.59mm) and very coarse sand (3.9% retained at No. 16 sieve, 1.19mm). The material shows minimal fines content (0.1% passing No. 200 sieve), with coarse gravel comprising 0.0%, fine gravel 1.0%, and clay content at 0.1%. The sample had a moisture content of 22.1% upon receipt as determined by ASTM D2216. The grain size accumulation curve and detailed Wentworth classification provide comprehensive particle distribution data suitable for beach nourishment and coastal restoration engineering purposes.
