Compaction Testing & Report
Lot 254; TR 3929
30135 Via Monterey
Permit No. 97-087 GR
In accordance with your request, we have prepared this compaction report for the subject property.
The report represents a summary of compaction testing of the fill placed on the barn and
recreational pads. Field testing and observations indicate the compaction and grading of the soil
was performed properly. The soil should perform satisfactorily for the expected usage. The
included findings and recommendations have been derived in accordance with generally accepted
professional principles and practices in the fields of soil mechanics and foundation engineering.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, either expressed or implied.

INTRODUCTION
In accordance with your request, tests have been performed on the fill placed on the barn and
recreational pads. The compaction testing associated with this phase of the grading was performed
during January 10 through January 22, 2000. This report presents a summary of the testing
services provided.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The residence will have a barn and recreational pad constructed on it in the back portion of the
property, with associated landscaping and access drive.
GRADING PROCEDURES
The observations and test results indicated that the grading was performed in the method
consistent with the U.B.C. as amended by Ordinance 457.
The minimum acceptable degree of compaction was 90 percent of the maximum density.
FIELD DENSITY TESTING
Field density testing was performed in accordance with ASTM D1556-64 (Sand Cone Method). The
results of the field density tests are presented in Table I of this report. The approximate location of
the tests are shown on the Plot Plan, Plate 1.
MAXIMUM DENSITY DETERMINATIONS
Maximum density I optimum moisture determinations were made from representative samples of
on-site soils used in the fill operations. The tests were performed in accordance with ASTM D1557-
78 Method.

LIMITATIONS
The findings and recommendations of this report were prepared in accordance with contemporary
principles and practices in the field of geotechnical engineering. No other warranty or guarantee is
either expressed or implied. Only a portion of the subsurface soils and conditions were evaluated or
observed and the conclusions are based upon an interpretation of the soils conditions encountered
in the field tests. Conclusions are also based on the assumption that these findings do not vary
appreciably in the adjacent areas. However, minor variations may occur: should soil conditions
significantly different be encountered in the future, an assessment of the impact on subsequent
recommendations should be made.
All future grading and fill placement should be performed under the inspection and testing of a
registered civil engineer.
Due ,to periodic site inspections and testing, footing excavations should be inspected by a registered
civil engineer prior to concrete placement to verify proper embedment entirely into competent soils.
SUMMARY
Our description of testing services, were limited to January 10 through January 22,2000. The
conclusions and recommendations contained herein have been based upon our observation and
testing'as noted.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GRADING
1. The soil should perform satisfactorily for the expected usage.
