Page Two <br />Purpose - <br />The purpose of this report is to present the results of our field <br />exploration program and associated geotechnical engineering review. <br />EXPLORATION PROGRAM RESULTS <br />Exploration Scope - <br />The two soil test borings for the project were put down on March 9. <br />1093. at the approximate locations indicated on the attached <br />sketch. These boring locations are in approximate alignment with <br />the front and rear of the houses which are situated directly north <br />and south of the subject lot. That is. Boring 1 lies along the <br />possible rear wall line of a house on this lot whereas Boring 2 <br />lies close to the front wall line of a proposed house. Surface <br />elevations at the boring locations were referenced to the surface <br />of (he centerline of Ruth Street at that point directly east of <br />Boring 2. The elevation of this point on the street was taken as <br />100'. an assumed elevation. <br />Site Conditions - <br />The site is situated off the west side of Ruth Street north of <br />Demont Avenue in Little Canada. Minnesota. Single - family dwellings <br />are present in the lots directly north and south of the subject <br />property. It appeared that the surface on the front or west <br />portion of the lot is at or slightly above street grade. On the <br />other hand. the rear of the lot is slightly lower. At the time the <br />borings were clone. a large portion of the rear of the lot was <br />covered with ice, suggesting that ponding may occur during wet <br />periods oP the year in this low lying portion of the property. <br />Subsurface Conditions - <br />The subsurface conditions encountered at each test location are <br />shown on the attached boring logs. We wish to point out that <br />subsurface conditions at other times and locations on the site may <br />differ from those found at our test locations. If different <br />conditions are encountered during construction. it is necessary <br />that we be contacted so our recommendations can be reviewed. The <br />test boring logs also indicate the possible geologic origin of the <br />materials encountered. <br />Review of the boring logs indicates the presence of fill or topsoil <br />at the surface to depths ranging from 1' to at least 5'. This <br />surficial material was primarily a black sandy lean clay and below <br />the frozen crust. was found to be moist to wet and of very soft <br />c nrtsi ;tertcv. <br />Page 49 <br />
