Van S1ootEn: <br /> ! We have prepared �his preliminary report of our geo�echnical <br /> �xploration for this project; our final repoz� with detailed <br /> recommendatzons will fol].ow in the coming week. Ydur contractor, <br /> Robert Fit�h Construction, is building a new single-family �esidence <br /> a� �he cornex of Jacobs Mill Road and Stubbs Bay Road North in <br /> Orono, Minnesota. xhe house will be a two-story st�ucture with a <br /> ; � full basem�nt an.d an attached garage, coverixzg a footprint df abaut <br /> j 5,700 scZuare feet. The unheated garage will b� on the west side c�f <br /> ' j the house. I <br /> � i <br /> ; 1 We drilled five barings fdr Che project vn August 25, 2004; the <br /> ' � basemen� e�xcavation had already been started when we drilJ.ed. zn <br /> j borings 7. ��hrough 4, we encountered about 2 to 6 feet of existing <br /> ' J fill and possib].e fill. Below the ground surface, existing �ill and <br /> ; # possible f�.11, we found naturally-occuzring lean clay and fat clay <br /> � with varyiz�g amottnts af sand to the boring termination depths. <br /> we did not� �ncounter groundwater while drilling or following remova�. <br /> ' of the aug�rs. The borings caved-in at depths of 6 to 11 feet af�.er <br /> I'. augex removal. We Qbserved a small az�a of perclned gr4undwater at <br /> ; f; the basc pf the bas�ment e�scavatiion along the south wall (about <br /> � elevation ;983 fieet) . Because of the low permeability of the clay <br /> ' � soils an this site, groundwater would requ�re an extended pe�ciod o� <br /> time {on the arder of days or weeks) to re�ch equilibrium in th.e <br /> boreholes. � <br /> :� � <br /> Based on : the conditi.ons �ound in the borings and the design <br /> ' i informatio#� we have, can�rentzonal spread f�oting toundations can <br /> support tha propased building t�r proper Site preparation.
