material only. A density does not replace a soil bearing capacity determination. These density tests do not certify the underlying soil materials below the proposed structure.
The results do not preclude or guarantee that future settlement and cracking will not occur. A soil boring.test'is required to certify.that thelund.6dying soils will support the
proposed structure without settlement. If no soil borings have been performed to verify the underlying solls,.ws r?comrlend tn2t soil bc'rciys:be performed to evaluate the

nalysis of the underlying soil materials to determine if they are capable of

Environmental analysis of the soil materials is not part of the scope of services. If environmental analysis of the soils is
required, we can provide a proposal for performing an environmental analysis of the soil materials. The scope of services is
for determination of the degree of compaction of the tested layer of material only. No other analysis is implied or warranted.
Job project specifications were not available at'the time the work was performed. Determination of the pass/fail compaction
results are based on current common industry requirements of 95% of the ASTM D-1557 standard for building foundations
and 98% of the AASHTO T-180 standard for paved areas such as roadways and parking lots. If different specifications are
required, Federal Engineering & Testing, Inc. shall be notified.
Our findings are relative to the date and areas of our site work and should not be relied upon to represent conditions on
other areas or dates. Any subsequent site disturbances due to water erosion, rain waters, construction activities,
excavations, overgrown, vegetation, traffic and other disturbances will void this test and the site must be re<compacted and
re -tested prior to construction.

It has been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to doing so in the near future.
