observations and testing of the contractor’s work. Our services do not include supervision or direction of the contractor, their employees, or agents. Geotechnical recommendations for
obtaining project objectives may be made by our representatives; however, direction of the actual work should come from the owner or contractor, as appropriate. The contractor is responsible
for complying with the contract documents at all times, regardless of the presence of our field representative. Jobsite safety, including compliance with all applicable state or federal regulations,

List the action items in the table below:
Element
# Description and Location Action Required Completion
Date
3 North and South side of site where rills are forming Add more check dams to slow water
4 Silt fence East of North construction entrance Ensure bottom is adequately buried and
the silt fence is intact
8 Small channels diverting water away from site entrance Make sure water is diverted to sediment
trap or check dams
4 Water running over curb at South entrance
If south entrance isn’t in use add silt fence
along that section to prevent water leaving
