only. A density does not replace a soil bearing capacity determinatiori. These density tests do not certify the underlyin6,i l'matenals 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 the underlying soils -will suppl6rt the proposed structure
without settlement. If no soil borings have been performed to verify the underlying soils, we recommend that soil borings be performed tG 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.

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-180lstandard 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 andl 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.
