material only. A density does not replace a soil bearing capacity determination. These density tests do not certify theunderlying-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-" ceitify:.that ihe`ti ideiiying soils will support the
proposed structure without settlement. If no soil borings have been performed to verify the underlying soils, we recomme d-that'soil`boring"si 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 raWs64 retesting must be performed on this
work.

acted to perform supervision of the building pad preparation. This testing of
nalysis of the underlying soil materials to determine if they are capable of

!I inches of material. If no soil borings have been performed in the location of

Environmental analysis of the soil materials is Inot part of the scope of services. If environmental analysis of the soils is
required, we can provide a proposal for perform''ng 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 t e time the work was performed. Determination of the pass/fail compaction
results are based on current common industry r quirements of 95% of the ASTM D-1557 standard for building foundations
and 98% of the AASHTO T-180 standard for paled 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 Qf 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 of er 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.
