with various loam content
Je rozdíl mezi zahliněním a zajílováním - viz 1. odkaz. V geologii se používá obojí. Proto používám loam, nikoliv clay (také existují loamy sand a clayey sand) a v geologických rozborech narazíte na "content"

Pokud se "náplavovými písky, hlínami a jíly" vztahuje k zahlinění (což není z úryvku věty zcela jasné) překládala bych to with various aluvial sands, loams or clay contents

Comment: "Děkuji. Zvolila jsem Váš výraz i proto, že i já jsem jinak v dokumentu používala pro hlínu výraz "loam", který mám odsouhlasený i s korektorem - rodilým mluvčím."

: "zahlinění" does not mean clay here. that would be "zajílování"

with varying degree of soil contamination
I am being quite bold here, but reckon it would work in this context :)

Anton Konashenok
: it's clay, not soil - soil by itself can be sandy, clayey or silty // the problem is, "soil" cannot be used in a geological description like this, because the composition of soil may include sand, clay, silt and organic matter in different proportion

I could not see any mention of clay. To my mind, it means dirt particles and that is the reason why I chose "contamination" in this particular context, the word "contamination" being used rather loosely here.

Pavel Blann
: it's likely to be soil or dirt in this case

Thanks, Pavel, that's exactly how I understood the context here.

with varying degree of soil compaction
Just another lead to sniff out. Compaction is the term used in construction site soil analyses as referenced below and describes the consistency of soil. "Tillage" is used for disrupting the state of compaction (pretty much what Krtecek does).
