As a mutual protection to clients, the public and ourselves, all reports are submitted as the confidential property of clients, and authorization for publication of statements,
conclusions or extracts from or regarding our reports is reserved pending our written approval. A den'slty.test determines the degree 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 thp'underlying soil material 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 15 certify that the-underlving 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.

pacted Soils Method D-6938 Disclaimer
Pursuant to your request, Federal Engineering & Testing, Inc. (FET) has performed a compaction test at the referenced
project on :the reverse side. The purpose of our test was to determine the' degree of compaction of the tested layer of
material only. In no way shall a compaction test replace.a soil bearing capacity determination. A soil. boring test must be
performed by the client. prior to construction to verify subsoil conditions: Our scope of services only included testing the top
12" of added fill material. FET ways not contracted to perform supervision of the building pad preparation. This testing of the
added fill material does not include an analysis of the underlying soil materials to determine if they are capable of supporting
the- proposed structure without settlement. This density compaction test does not warranty any underlying soil materials or
conditions below the tested top 1�, inches of material. If no soil- borings have been performed in the location of the proposed
structure, we recommend performing soil borings below all foundation areas of the proposed structure to verify the underlying
soil conditions. =
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 icompaction 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 950/q 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
areas or dates. Any subsequ,
overgrown, vegetation, traffic
to construction.
As a mutual protection to i
and authorization for use,
pending written approval.
It has been a pleasure working
e and areas of our site work and should not be relied upon to represent conditions on other
site disturbances due 'to ,water erosion, rain waters, construction activities, excavations,
other disturbances will void this test and the site must be re -compacted and re -tested prior
the public and ourselves; all reports are submitted are the confidential property of clients
ation of statements, conclusions or extracts from or regarding our reports is reserved,
you and we look forward to doing so in the near future.
