FROM SKS � PHONE NO. : 1209 9839116 Oct. 13 2004 01:12PM P3 F: SKS Enterprise Chicken Ranch TL Project No. F52429.01-01 23701 East Brant Road Page'2 Lodi,California 4) Determining the in-place density, moisture content and relative compaction of the native fill soil at the referenced depths and locations; and 5) Preparing this report. PROJECT DESCRipTIo This portion of the project consists of the construction ofbarn pads located at 23 709 East Brant Road in Lodi,California. The maximum depth of native fill soil placed was approximately 6.0 feet. PROJECT SPECMC,ATIONS The Twining Laboratories,Inc.did not perform a geotechnical engineering investigation report;and therefore,did not determine compaction requirements. The project specifications and requirements are dictated by Mr.Andy Napier with Krosmann and Napier. According to Mr.Napier,fill soil shall f be compacted to at least 40 percent relative compaction_ Maximum density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM Test Method D1557. TEST PROCEDURE Initially, the soils were sampled and visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. The soil was then tested in the laboratory per ASTM Test Method D1557 to determine the maximum dry densities and optimum moisture contents. The results are shown in the attached Table I_ The depth and frequency of in-place density testing was determined by the Engineering Technician. it was our intent to conduct in-place density tests at a frequency of about 1 test per 2,000 square feet of surface area for every 12-inch thick lift of fill soil placed. I The in-place density and moisture tests were performed using a nuclear gauge in accordance with ASTM Test Methods D2922 and D3017. The locations were determined by pacing and steel tape and should be considered accurate to within 0.5 and 5 feet in vertical and lateral dimension, respectively. 5 I I
