PROJECT NO: Z486.01 DATE: 10/5/2022
LOCATION: 225 White’s Path, South Yarmouth, MA CLIENT: 225 White’s Path Units 2 and 3, LLC
WEATHER: Overcast with rain, 50s °F CONTRACTOR(S): DellbrookǀJKS; C.C.

1. Hersi Dorne arrived on site at 0815 hours. Left site at 1515 hours. 2. Earthwork equipment:
A) One Komatsu PC290LC Excavator B) One Caterpillar D8T Bulldozer C) One CASE SV216 Vibratory Smooth-Drum Roller D) One Caterpillar Loader
3. Earthwork observed: A) The undersigned visited the site today to observe earthwork construction activities taking place for the
proposed FedEx distribution facility. Upon arrival to the site, C.C. Construction, Inc. (C.C.
Construction) had excavated approximately 2± feet of surficial topsoil and rooty subsoil from the proposed stormwater basin and parking areas, exposing an apparent natural sandy soil subgrade which generally consisted of gray-tan-light brown, fine to medium SAND with trace to little fine to
coarse Gravel, trace Silt, trace Roots. At the southwesterly portion of the existing former stormwater basin, which was approximately 10± feet below surrounding grades, an existing drainage pipe was observed to be discharging water. The soil at the bottom of the stormwater basin was moist to wet but appeared stable.
The majority of the proposed stormwater basin had been excavated upon arrival. During today’s earthwork activities, C.C. Construction continued excavating and grading to planned bottom-of-basin elevations (see attached Figure No. 1– Site Sketch). The excavated material was stockpiled on-site for later re-use as structural fill. The material generally consisted of light brown, fine to medium SAND
with trace to little fine to coarse Gravel, trace Silt. C.C. Construction proof-compacted the subgrade within the western proposed parking area with 10 to 12 passes of the vibratory drum roller (see attached Figure No. 1– Site Sketch). The exposed subgrade appeared firm and stable under the action of the vibratory roller. The previously excavated
on-site sandy soil was re-used as structural fill to raise the grade in this area. Approximately three, 12± inch thick lifts of fill were placed and compacted within the noted area. Compaction of each lift of structural fill was performed using the vibratory drum compactor by making about 6 to 8 passes. Each lift appeared firm and stable during and after compaction.

The undersigned performed field density tests nos. 1 through 5 on the compacted lifts of fill (see Fig. No. 1 for approximate test locations). The test results indicated that a satisfactory compaction percentage was achieved at each test location. Please refer to the attached Summary of Field Density
Tests sheet (page 3 of this report) for the test results. 4. Attachments: Photo Log 1 Figure No. 1 – Site Sketch
