Description of Work Completed
Work Completed: fill to raise pond berm
Observations: F&R technician observed Contour construction had removed asphalt walking path from berm and
vegetation from berm and back toe of slope down to stable material in preparation of approximately 4
feet of fill placement.
This is a rough area, Contour began to use two loaded tandem axle trucks to bring a silty SAND (SM)
material with gravels from borrow (Whittington Place), end dump material, have a loader take it on
downstream slope, with dozer to spread and track it in, followed by multiple passes of a vibratory
sheepsfoot loader.

Description of Work Completed
Work Completed: fill to raise storm pond berm
Observations: Contour placed one 8 inch lift across entire pond today. They used two tandem axle trucks to bring a
sandy SILT (ML) material with gravels from borrow (Whittington Place), end dump material, have a
loader take it on downstream slope, with dozer to spread and track it in, followed by multiple passes
of a vibratory sheepsfoot loader. F&R onsite, had dozer scrape a spot flat and used nuclear density
gauge to test material and found it to be above 95% compaction and within 3 % of optimum moisture.
F&R also observed sheepsfoot roller walk out of the material.

Description of Work Completed
Work Completed: fill to raise storm pond berm
Observations: Contour now at 1.5 feet, and placing an 8 inch loose lift across entire berm and slope of pond
today. Two tandem axle trucks hauled borrow consisting of a sandy SILT (ML) material with gravels
from borrow (Whittington Place), and end dump material on the berm. Then a loader placed it on
the downstream slope, and a dozer spread and track material in. Multiple passes of a vibratory
sheeps foot roller compacted the lift until the machine walked out of the material. F&R technician
observed little to no movement (pumping) indicating material was stable and prepared for next
lift. Gauge was used to spot check material and found to be at or more than 95% compaction.

Attention: Ms. Sheila Scott
Subject: Stonewater Berm Raise
Albemarle County, Virginia
Dear Ms. Collins:
December 6, 2018
F&R has been requested to evaluate the below grade soils for the Stonewater Berm in addition to the
testing previously performed from 10-23-17 to 11-03-17 previously submitted indicating the spot check
density tests done met 95% of the maximum density. F&R performed two soil borings outside the asphalt
path with DCP soundings to depths of 3 feet on the raised berm using a hand auger, designated Al and
A2, which were performed at the approximate locations indicated on the attached Dynamic Cone
Penetration Sheet. At each location, soil samples were collected and were visually classified in the
laboratory by a geotechnical engineer.
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing was also performed on the soils within the hand auger borings.
The DCP is a device utilizing a 15 pound steel weight failing 20 inches to drive a cone with a diameter of
1.5 inches and height of 1.66 inches a distance of 1.75 inches into the ground. The number of hammer
blows required to drive the cone three successive 1.75 inch increments is recorded, and these blow
counts provide a general indication of in -situ soil conditions and has been correlated with certain
engineering properties of soils.
The raised portion of the berm soils were found to consist of medium -stiff to stiff fill materials which
visually classified as a moist orange sandy SILT (ML) and correlated with a bearing of 2000 psf.
