conclusions or extracts from or regarding our. reports is reserved pending our written approval. A density test determines th6;de6rse of compaction of the, tested layer of
material only. A density does not replace a soil bearing capacity determination. These density tests do not certify the underlying`soil`mate�iais 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#f :e gdermng soils will support the
proposed structure without settlement. If no soil borings have been performed to verify the underlying soils, we recommend that soil 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 rain/storms, retesting must be performed on this
work.

required, we can provide a proposal for performing an environmental analysis of the soil materials. The scope of services is

Job project specifications were not available at the time t l� e 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. I

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