    3. Insert an additional section between Section 3.1.1 and Section 3.1.2 of ASTM D 979-89 containing the following:

    "Care shall be taken in sampling to avoid segregation of coarse aggregate and bituminous mortar. Care shall be taken also to
    prevent contamination by dust or other foreign matter."

    4. Insert additional Sections 4.2.3.3 and 4.2.3.4 immediately following Section 4.2.3.2 of ASTM D 979-89 as follows:

    4.2.3.3 If the mixture is in a windrow (cold mix), random samples of the windrow at intervals of not more than 150 m (500 ft)
    shall be secured and tested separately. Samples of the windrow shall be secured by flattening it at one point into a layer of
    approximately 0.3 m (1 ft) thick and coring this layer in three or more random points to obtain the required sample size as
    shown in table 1.

    4.2.3.4 If the mix has been bladed into a relatively uniform layer, samples shall be secured at intervals of not more than 150 m
    (500 ft).

    5. Insert an additional section immediately following Section 4.2.3.4 above as follows:

    "Samples from a stockpile shall be obtained by compositing equal quantities of the mixture taken from holes dug into points near
    the top, middle, and bottom of the stock pile. Reduction of the sample to the required size shall be as described in Section 4.3.2."

    6. Insert an additional section immediately following Section 5.2.3 of ASTM D 979-89 containing the following:
