Method of Adding Moisture: Unknown Tl�is re�ort prc.sents opinions formed as a result of our observations and/or compaction testing of tl�e fill during this visit. We have relied on the contractor to continue applying the recommended co�npactive effort and moisture to the fill during times when our observer is not observing operations. Tests are made of the fill only as believed necessary to calibrate our observer's jud ment. Test data are not the sole basis for o inions on whether the fill meets s ecificatio�s. Mike Brath Scott B.
