Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Portable Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following is a synopsis of information received via facsimile from the Commonwealth of Virginia: On Tuesday, March 30, 2010, a Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) employee was using a Model #3440 moisture density gauge (Serial #31899). This gauge was damaged when a compaction roller ran over it. The time of the incident was approximately 2:15 pm. The VDOT inspector had left the gauge unattended to go to her pick-up to get the gauge tools needed to perform a density test. Upon arriving back at the gauge, the inspector noticed that the gauge had been hit by the compaction roller. The location where this event occurred was at a construction site on route 696 in Selma, VA in the Staunton District area, on the South side of the bridge, at Abutment A, station number 101+ 75. The inspector roped off the area, stopped the compaction roller, and called the District RSO from the Staunton District. The District RSO arrived at approximately 4:15 pm. The District RSO took a survey of the area and recorded readings of 1.2 to 1.7 mr/hr. The District RSO checked the source rod and determined that it was still in the shield. The gauge was transported to VDOT's home office at 6200 Elko Tract Road and is now in storage. No personnel were injured as a result of this event. Virginia Event Report ID No.: VA-10-01
