4. Final Site Topography Final soil surfaces should be graded to provide adequate drainage from structures and hard surfaces so that as little water as possible infiltrates into soils adjacent to the structures. The areas adjacent to footing walls should be adequately compacted, not loosely placed, to avoid this zone . acting as a "sump" andcreating nuisance conditions in the building area. 5. Limitations of Investigation The Geotechnical Engineer has prepared this report using an ordinary level of care and in accordance with generally accepted foundation and soil engineering practices. Because the bLrd:lgs represent only a sn~al! portiop of the tctal site and for \~th'~r rea.s"0n5:l, Develcpnl~nt Engineering, P.A., does not wammt that the borings are necessarily representative of the entire site but only of the boring locations at the time of investigation. No warran1y of the site is made or implied. The boring logs should only be used in preliminary design and estimating work and in conjunction with corrective procedures. The scope of this report is limited strictly to geotechnical issues which include the establishment of soil profile and only those conclusions expressly made. Please note that this work is not intended to document the presence or absence of any environmental contaminants at the site, nor for identifying applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations of a on- geotechnical nature which mayor may not be applicable to this site. Further, Development Engineering, P.A., will not be held responsible for facts not disclosed to the Geotechnical Engineer. The bore hole voids were backfilled by Development Engineering using native cuttings or sealed as per the Minnesota Department of Health Rules. Some continuing settlement may occur if construction does not take place in the near future. If settlement does occur, the Client should backfill with additional material. This report and all supporting information is furnished only to the Client and his assigns for the designated purpose. No representations to other parties or for other uses are made. Soil samples retrieved during the investigation process will be retained in the office of Development Engineering for a period of 30 days from the date of testing. After 30 days from the date of testing. After 30 days, the samples may be discarded unless a request is received to retain for a longer period. ENGINEER'S CERTIFICATE I hereby certify that this plan, specification or report was prepared by me or under my direct supervision and that I am a duly registered Professional Engineer under the Laws of the State of Minnesota. ~~ Jonathan L.
