V" Prat Enpr ,,V <br />Re: 77-159 SOIL BORING $ PERCOLATION <br />TESTS <br />Lot 3, Block 1 <br />Farview Addition <br />Trono, Minnesota <br />As requested, we have recently conducted a soils investi- <br />gation consisting of one power auger boring and 8 perco< <br />lation tests taken to determine the general soil and water <br />conditions, as well as to provide information relative to <br />the soil absorptivity rates. The boring and percolation <br />tests were taken at the locations shown on the attached <br />sketch. Field locations were determined by our crew as <br />referenced to the house location. Surface elevations were <br />referenced to a spike in the south end of an 8-inch ash, <br />located on the northeast side of the proposed house. The <br />elevation at this pc_nt was assumed equal to 100.0 feet. <br />Initially, six percolation tests were conducted on the lot <br />on May 4, 1977. As some of the tests indicated failing results, <br />two additional percolation tests were conducted on May 17, as <br />you requested. <br />INVESTIGATION METHODS: <br />The power auger boring was completed using a truck -mounted <br />power auger unit. The soil classifiations and depths shown <br />on the attached log were inferred from the soils brought to <br />the surface by the continuous flight feature of the auger. <br />The depths of strata changes are, thus, considered approximate, <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS/SOILS AND MATERIALS <br />Test Borings • Foundation Engineering and Recommendations • Inspecuan of Construction • Material Testing of Soils.
