Dear Mr. Koontz: i
In accordance with your authorization T. Mnlydissy Consulting, Inc., has provided engineering
consultation, observation and testing services during pad grading operations for the Lot 3, building
pad of the subject project. This letter is a summary of our observations and test results.
Grading on the subject lots commenced by stripping, clearing the area of all existing vegetation and
debris and removing 18 to 24 inches from the building site. The native material was then scarified,
moisture conditioned, then compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90%. Fill material
consisting of q fines was imported and placed on the building pads to bring it to design grade.

The satisfactory,placemenC•of fill was7&termined.by field observation and performance of in-place
field density and laboratory;compaction tests.The laboratory compaction tests were performed to
determine the maximum drydensityand,the optimum moisture content of the soil used for fill.
i
Compaction tests.were performed,in,accordance with Laboratory Test Procedures ASTM D1557- I
94. The results of-these•.tests:are-summarized on Tablet I. A nuclear gauge was used'to determine
the in-situ percentage:,of-dry-,density and moisture content. Nuclear gauge density methods were
AST
generally in accordance with M D2922=91 and D3017-88.' The in place test results along with
the achieved relative compactiodare-included in Tables I&lI.
i
Pad grading opemtions4or the,building,pad were generally performed in accordance with the
recommendations.contained in the aforementioned reference. The pad is ready to receive building !
improvements. Suiface draiiia'ge must.b6 provided as designed by the project Civil Engineer and
maintained byAthe property owners at all4irms. The building pads are ready to receive foundation
i
improvements. -
