(T/F:) When the total quantity of hot mix asphalt for the project, as indicated on the plans
for Type SP and Type FC mixtures only, is less than 2000 tons, the Engineer will accept
the mix on the basis of visual inspection, the Engineer may run acceptance tests to
determine the acceptability of the material. - ANSWER True
