On July 24, 1986, a representative of our firm performed density tests on
the fill placed in the building area on the above referenced project. T ests
were performed at random locations in accordance with ASTM D 2922-81
and ASTM D 3017-78 Nuclear Density Test Procedure. Tests were
pert ormed as per authorl zati on of Bri an wi th R1 ck Johnson Constructi on.
The estimated locations of the tests are presented .on the attached plan
with their results being summarized on the attached test report sheet. A
total 'of two (2) density tests were performed. Tests results indicate that
a minimum of ninety percent (90%) relative compaction has been obtained
within the areas tested. The maximum density -optimum moisture were
determined in the laboratory in accordance with ASTM D 1557-78, Method
A or C. Test results are as follows:
