material only. A density does not replace a soil bearing capacity determination. These density tests do not certify,thr� underlyingoil_m tor;als below the proposed structure.
The results do not preclude or guarantee that future settlement.and cracking will not occur. A soil boring test is roquired_ fo certify Jt the underlying soils will support the
proposed structure without settlement. If no soil borings have been performed to verify the underlying soils, weirecomrnend that .oil, borings be performed to evaluate the
suitability of the underlying soil to support the proposed structure. After laying dormant for a period of 90 days or after heavy,ra?rJMtonns, retesting must be performed on this
work.

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, Ine. shall be notified.
Our findings are relative to the date and a�eas 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.
