� � � � <br /> 1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> 1.1 Project Description <br /> Final Grade,Inc. (Final Grade) is preparing to reconstruct the failed slope at 2807 Casco <br /> Point Road in Orono, Minnesota. We understand that Ban Engineering previously <br /> evaluated the slope failure and presented the owner with several different design options <br /> to repair the slope failure. <br /> Final Grade retained Haugo GeoTechnical Services to perform a geotechnical exploration <br /> to evaluate the suitability of site soil and groundwater conditions and provide our opiruon <br /> on the proposed slope reconstruction at the site. <br /> 1.2 Purpose <br /> The purpose of this geotechnical exploration was to characterize subsurface soil and <br /> groundwater conditions and provide our opinion on the proposed slope reconstruction at <br /> the site. <br /> 13 Site Description <br /> The project site is located at 2807 Casco Point Road in Orono, MIV. The site currendy <br /> contains one residential home that is located about 55 feet northeast of the crest(top)of an <br /> existing slope along Lake Minneb�nka. <br /> The house azea and backyard of the project site is relatively flat with the surface elevations <br /> at the soil boring locations ranging from about 970 feet to 969�/z feet The slope is relatively <br /> steep and is indicated at about 40 degrees on the Barr Engineering documents provided. <br /> The height of the slope from the crest to Lake Minnetonka is about 30 feet. The slope face <br /> generally contains small trees and brush with an existing stairway to Lake Minnetonka. <br /> Portions of the slope face failed during a period of heavy rain in June 2014. The slope <br /> failure was not repaired and portions were covered with plastic sheeting. <br /> 1.4 Scope of Services <br /> Our services were performed in accordance with the Haugo GeoTechnical Services,LLC <br /> proposal 16-0978 dated November 15,201G. Our scope of services was performed under <br /> the terms of our General Conditions and limited to the following tasks: <br /> • Completing two(2)standard penetration test soil barings and extending each to a <br /> nominal depth of 40 feet. <br /> • Recording GPS coordinates of the soil boring locations and etevations. <br /> • Visually/manually classifying the samples recovered from the soil borings. <br /> • Performing laboratory tests on selected samples. <br /> 1 <br />
