DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING, P A t296 HUDSON ROAD ST PAUL MN 55106 651.776.62t t March 4, 2004 Project 2004.022 Vacant Lot West of the Intersection of Hamline Avenue and Ingerson Road Arden Hills, Minnesota OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF SERVICES Develcp'Tlcnt Ei1gine~ring, P A, 1296 Hudscm Rd,:"t Paul, Minnesota, 551 Ot was retained by Mr. Jay Chnieleski, herein after referred to as the "Client" to perform a subsmface geotechnical assessment on a parcel of land located at the address in the above title block. The purpose of this investigation is to identifY and evaluate soil properties associated with the site with respect to building a single family homestead iliereon. One soil boring was performed to nominal depths of3I.5"= feet within the project area. Prom the resulting data, conclusions are drawn regarding site suitability for ilie proposed use and recommendations are presented regarding site correction procedmes and foundation and slab design. SCOPE OF SERVICES The client authorized ilie following scope of services: Perform one (1) standard penetration test borings to nominal depths of 31. 5"= feet below grade. Sample soil using a 2" O.D. split-barrel sampler driven into the soil by a 140 lb weight falling 30". After an initial set of 6", the number of blows required to drive ilie sampler an additional 12" is known as the penetration resistance or N-value. The N-value is an index ofilie internal friction of cohesionless soil, the consistency of cohesive soils, and the density of all soils. Sampling will conform to the methods set forth in ASTM procedme D1586-84. ClassifY recovered soil samples by the Visual-Manual method in accordance with ASTM D- 2488. Representative portions of the samp1esiUa)'be sub~tted to the laboratory[orfurther examination and for verification of the field classification in accordance wiili ASTM D2487- 85. Information indicating depili and identification of the various strata, ilie N-value, water level information and pertinent information regarding the drilling method will be documented on comprehensive soil boring logs. Prepare an engineering report including a log of each boring, a diagram indicating the boring location along with our recommendations for foundation types and depths, allowable soil bearing pressmes and estimates of foundation settlement. 1 The purpose of this report is to present the results of our field and laboratory exploration assessment arid the associated engineering review. Please note that this report is for geotechnical purposes only and is not intended to document the presence or absence of any environmental contaminants that could be present at the site.
