The following is a tabulation of data about your site: Site Address: 1685 Concordia City Orono, Minnesota Legal Description: PID # 17-117_-23-22-0022 Benchmark: Elevation of Lake Minnetonka = 929 Datum: the North American Datum METHODS: The investigation consisted of exploratory soil borings to aid in identifying soil and water conditions. We have indicated the approximate locations of the borings on an attached site plan sketch. Elevations are very approximate. Borings were taken with a truck mounted CME 45 drill rig using solid stem continuous—flight augers. Soils encountered in the borings were visually and manually examined in the field by the ' soils engineer. The soils are classified on the basis of texture and plastricity in accordance with ASTM D2487 "Unified Soil Classification System" and a chart explaining that system is attached. RECOMMENDATIONS: The compact, grey sand encountered in the borings below the fill and soft soil is suitable for the support of the proposed structure. It is our opinion that these soils are capable of supporting footings proportioned to exert a bearing pressure of no more than 3000 pounds per square foot. Fill and soft soils should be removed form the area of the proposed structure. The footings and foundation walls shall be constructed from poured concrete. Number four rebars will have to be run continuous with appropriate overlaps at all joints in all basement walls. The reinforcing shall consist of four number four rebars three inches above the bottoii, of the wall and four number four rebars at least three inches below the top of the wall. The upper and lower groups of rebar shall be separated vertically at least 3 feet. This reinforcement is in addition to any vertical reinforcement that may be required by soil pressure against the basement walls. The lowest floor shall be no lower than 4' above the water table, elevation 933. The siting of the dwelling shall also be in compliance with any other requirements or restrictions tha. may apply to this lot. STANDARD CAUTIONS & LIMITATIONS: ' We measure the depth of any ground water that may have accumulated in the borings, immediately at completion of the borings. We do not monitor the borings over a period of time. Borings left open are a hazard to pedestrians, leave an opening for polutants, and quickly cave in rendering any measurements of little value. The water levels we observe are thus only an indication of an immediate and rapid flow of water into the boring indicating that a drain tile system might be over taxed in such soils. Slow inflows may ' not be detected and variations in rainfall can affect ground water levels. If upon excavation, conditions that are not consistent with the borings are revealed, it is agreed that you will notify us so that we may gather fur,her information and modify our opinion or indicate that no modification is necessary in a written addendum to this report; or failing to en-a;e our services to prepare such written addendum, it is agreed that you proceed at your own peril. If we may be of further assistance in evaluating this data, kindly contact us at your convenience.

ADVANCE SURVE G / E 'G VEERING i GEOTECHNICAL Ja es H. Parker P.E. & P.S., No. 9235, President c While it is our opinion that a properly designed and installed drain the system and submersible sump pump will keep most basements dry and should be a standard part of all new construction, we make no guarantees in this regard. Of necessity, the area of the borings in relation to the area of ' the site and the depth of the borings are limited. Su`gestions and recommendations of this report are opinions based on data obtained from the borings. If upon excavation, conditions that are not consistent with the borings are revealed, it is agreed that you will notify us so that we may gather fur,her information and modify our opinion or indicate that no modification is necessary in a written addendum to this report; or failing to en-a;e our services to prepare such written addendum, it is agreed that you proceed at your own peril.
