This document summarizes the results of a dry density/moisture content test conducted on a fill and capping material sample. Six trials were performed to determine the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content. The maximum dry density was found to be 1.61 g/cc at an optimum moisture content of 4.34%. The test was conducted on a sample from the Giner-IMI-Gode Road project to determine the appropriate compaction levels for the material.
