Test Pit #5 was 8 feet deep and encountered u feet of sandy clay (fill) overlying 1 foot black organic sandy silt 1 foot silty sand and sandy clay. It was recommended that the organic sandy silt material exposed at test pits 3,4 and 5 be removed down to suitable inorganic soil. This organic material is present in the east and central portions of the building area and extends to depth of 2-4 feet below footing grade. A decision was made between the contractor emd owner to excavate this material with a tracscavtor and then import fill tc design footing grade. The footing foundation plan for this structure indicated that re-bar was not going to be used in the footings. We recommer ded that 2#5 re-bars, continuous, be used. This recommendation was accepted by the owner. It was also recommended that soil borings be taken in proposed adjacent buildings to better determine the extent of the organic material and overlying fill. This knowledge would help expidite the future construction process. SUBTERRANEAN ENGINEERING INC. MINNEAPOLIS.
