P f 1.6 Locations and Elevations The soil boring locations were selected by Haugo GeoTechnical Services (HGTS) based on the anticipated construction and site access. The ground surface elevation at the boring location was obtained by HGTS using GPS measuring equipment. The GPS measurements were based on the MN County Coordinate System (Hennepin County) in US Survey Feet using the GEOID09(Conus)model.T'he approximate location GPS boring location of the soil borings are shown on Figure 1,"Soil Boring Location Sketch",in the Appendix. 2.0 FIELD PROCEDURES Two (2) standazd penetration test boring was advanced on June 30, 2016 by HGTS with a rotary drilling rig, using continuous flight augers to advance the boreholes. Representative samples were obtained from the boring, using the split-barrel sampling procedures in general accordance with ASTM Specification D-1586. In the split-barrel sampling procedure, a 2-inch O.D. split-barrel spoon is driven into the ground with a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of an 18-inch penetration is recorded as the standard penetration resistance value,or"N"value. The results of the standard penetration tests are indicated on the boring log. The samples were sealed in containers and provided to HGTS for testing and soil classification. A field log of the boring was prepazed by the HGTS drill crew. The log contains visual classifications of the soil materiaLs encountered during drilling, as well as the driller's interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples and water observation notes. The final boring log included with this report represents an interpretation of the field log and includes modifications based on visual/manual method observation of the samples. The soil boring log, general terminology for soil description and identification, and classification of soils for engineering purposes are also included in the appendix. The soil boring log identifies and describes the materials encountered, the relative density or consistency based on the Standard Penetration resistance (N-value, "blows per fooY') and groundwater observations. The strata changes were inferred from the changes in the samples and auger cuttings. The depths shown as changes between strata are only approximate. The changes are likely transitions,variations can occur beyond the location of the boring. 3.0 RESULTS 3.1 Soil Conditions Boring SB-1 was taken in the driveway near the detached garage and encountered a pavement section consisting of about 3 inches of bituminous and 6 inches of aggregate base. Boring SB-2 was taken near the north/northwest corner of the existing home and encountered about 1 foot of silty sand topsoil fill. 2
