The results of the shallow seismic refraction survey indicate that the majority of the material required to be removed is marginally rippable by the the newer, larger machine intended for purchase, having a velocity ranging between 3200 to 9500 feet per second. The remainder, having a velocity of between 10,000 to 13,040 fps, will require blasting prior to ripping. However, if the available Caterpillar D9 tractor is used, all of the material will require blasting before ripping, as the D9 can only rip material having 80% of the velocity of material which can be handled by the newer tractor at its limit of rippability.
