The subject site is the existing residence located at 20115 Suisun Drive in Cupertino, California. The existing swimming pool area was approximately 600 square feet with depths ranging from 4 to, 8 feet below existing ground elevation. First, the entire pool was removed and inspected. Then, the excavated bottom was compacted. Next, the excavated area was backfilled with import soil material to the existing ground surface. The import soil material was moisture conditioned as necessary and compacted in uniform 12 inch lifts to at least 90% relative maximum density. The backfilling operation was performed by Richie Bobcat & Hauling on March 2 and 3, 2015. A total of 8 in-place field moisture/density tests were performed by our field engineer using a nuclear gauge (CPN MC -IDR -P). These tests showed values in excess of 90% relative maximum density of the backfill material as determined using the laboratory compaction test procedure ASTM D1 557-12. The results of the field moisture/density tests are summarized in Table 1. Approximate locations of these tests are shown on the Site Plan - Figure 1. 2391 ZANKER ROAD, SUITE 350 • SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA 95131 • (408) 324-1400 9 F (408) 324-1404 I File No. SV1087N March 4, 2015 As a result of our testing and inspection services, the contractor has performed the backfilling operation of the swimming pool removal accordingly for the "buildable" area.
