The required percent compaction is attained by conditioning the soil so that the moisture content is within +/-3% of the optimum moisture. It is very important to proof roll the site before placing any backfill to verify that there are no soft or unstable areas. Soft and unstable virgin subgrades prevent attaining the required degree of compaction.
