Home My WebLink AboutLab Results Letter (FS-2 and FS-3) - Proposed FedEx Facility - 225 Whites Path, South Yarmouth, MA (10-25-2022) October 25, 2022 Project No. Z486.01 Mr. Greg Bilezikian 225 White’s Path Units 2 and 3, LLC 231 Willow Street Yarmouthport, MA 02675 SUBJECT: Laboratory Soil Test Results - Fill Sample Nos. FS-2 and FS-3 Proposed FedEx Distribution Facility 225 White’s Path South Yarmouth, MA Dear Greg: Attached are the results of laboratory gradation and modified Proctor testing performed on samples of on-site excavated sand (FS-2) and off-site sand and gravel fill (FS-3) proposed for use at the subject site. C.C. Construction provided the fill samples to Northeast Geotechnical on October 11, 2022 (see Field Report No. 4). Sample no. FS-2 is representative of on-site excavated sand. The results of the grain-size analysis performed on sample no. FS-2 indicate the on-site sand represented by sample no. FS-2 is suitable for reuse as structural fill on the project. The on-site sand represented by sample no. FS-2 does not meet our recommended gradation criteria for base course sand and gravel fill according to the laboratory grain-size analysis results. Sample no. FS-3 is reportedly representative of off-site sand and gravel fill from a stockpile at C.C. Construction’s location in Plymouth, MA. The results of the grain-size analysis performed on sample no. FS-3 indicate the off-site fill represented by sample no. FS-3 is suitable for use as structural fill and base course sand and gravel fill on the project. A laboratory modified Proctor test was performed on sample nos. FS-2 and FS-3 to assess the soils’ maximum dry density and optimum moisture content. We intend to use the test results in field density testing to assess that satisfactory compaction percentages are achieved during placement and compaction of fill operations. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mark Zambernardi at 978- 935-6636 or at mzambernardi@northeastgeotechnical.com. 225 White’s Path, South Yarmouth, MA October 25, 2022 Project No. Z486.01 Sincerely, Northeast Geotechnical, Inc.
