1795 Fox Street July 14,2017 <br /> Project#: 11767.17.MNS Page-2 <br /> Design Phase Geotechnical Evaluation <br /> Proposed Single Family Home <br /> 1795 Fox Street <br /> Orono,Minnesota <br /> CVT Project Number: 11767.17.MNS <br /> Date:July 14,2017 <br /> A. Introduction <br /> The intent of this report is to present our results to the client in the same logical sequence that led us to arrive at <br /> the opinions and recommendations expressed. Since our services must often be completed before the design, <br /> assumptions are sometimes needed to prepare a proper evaluation and to analyze the data. A complete and <br /> thorough review of this entire document, including the assumptions and the appendices, should be undertaken <br /> immediately upon receipt. <br /> A.1. Purpose <br /> This report was prepared to assist planning and design of the proposed housing at 1795 Fox Street in Orono, <br /> Minnesota development. Our services were authorized by Pat Dorn of Pat Dorn Construction. <br /> A.2. Scope <br /> To provide data for analysis, a total of 3 penetration test borings were performed. Our engineering scope <br /> consisted of provide geotechnical recommendations for potential houses. <br /> A.3. Boring Locations and Elevations <br /> The borings locations were selected based on positional information provided in the field by Mr. Dorn and <br /> were adjusted by CVT field crews based on access constraints. The approximate locations as drilled are <br /> shown on the Boring Location Sketch in the Appendix, and was based on plotting GPS coordinates for the <br /> borings and a property layout provided onto an aerial view of the site using Google Earth software. <br /> Elevations were estimated based using a laser level. An orange pin nailed into a tree was used as a <br /> benchmark and its approximate location is indicated on the sketch. This reference was assigned an assumed <br /> elevation of 100.0 feet. <br /> A.4. Geologic Background <br /> A geotechnical report is based on subsurface data collected for the specific structure or problem. Available <br /> geologic data from the region can help interpretation of the data and is briefly summarized in this section. <br /> Geologic maps suggest that the natural soils in the area are primarily glacial soils within a marshy area <br /> containing swamp deposits(peat and muck). Bedrock is commonly more than 50 feet below the surface and <br /> is not a consideration for the project. <br /> MINNESOTA IOWA WISCONSIN <br />
