3. As part of a site investigation program for a residential development project you retrieved four different soil samples. None of the soils appear to be organic. At your laboratory you performed grain-size analyses and Atterberg limit tests on the samples. The grain-size distribution data for the four soil samples are shown in Figure below as curves H, I, J and L. From your Atterberg limit tests on the portion of soil L, LL=37 and PL=18.
