'
' Dear Andy:
At your request, we have conducted a preliminary investigation of soil conditions on the
property at the Iocatians you specified. The follo�ving is a tabulation of data about your site:
'
Site Address: 3407 East Lake Street
' City: Orono
Benchmark: First floor of existing house on east elevation= 100
Datum: an assumed datum
IMETHODS:
' The investigation consisted of exploratory soil borings to aid in identifying soil and water
conditions. We have indicated the a�proximate location of the borings on an attachcd site
plan sketch. Elevations are very approximate.
' Borings were taken with a truck mounted CME 45 drill rig using solid stem continuous
filight augers. Soils encountered in the borings were visually and manually examined in thc
' field by the soils technician. -
The soils are classified on the basis of texture and plasticity in accordance with ASTM
' D2487 "Clnified Soil Classification System" and a chart explaining that system is attached.
'
'
'
'
�
'
' RECOMMENDATIONS:
' The soft soils encountered to considerable depth on this site are not suitable
for the support of a structure. A home could be supported on augered pilings,
' but considerable expense and additional testing would be required to give a
piling engineer the data he would need to design the pilings. You may want to
consult vvith a foundation company that installs pilings and get an approximate
, idea of costs before proceeding furner. If you do decide to proceed with
pilings, we can provide you with an estimate of the costs for the additional
' testing required.

STANDARD CAUTI�NS & LIMITATIOI�S:
1
We measure the depth of any ground water that may have accumulated in #he
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
and livestock, leave an opening for pollutanr levels we aobserve are th u oniy
' any measurements of little value. The wa e
an indication of an immediate and rapide oo e ��in such soilsb�Slow
indicating that a drain tile system rrught b
' inflows may not be detected and variations in rainfall can affect ground water
[evels.
' While it is our opinion that a properly designed and installed drain tile 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. Suggestions and recommendations of this
report aze 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 �d�Cate�thae noamod ficat on is
' information and modify our opinion o
necessary in a written addendum to this report; or failing to engage our
services to prepare such written addendum, it is agreed that you proceed at
' you own peril.
If we may be of fiuther assistance in evalua.ting this data, kindly contact us at
' youx convenience.
I hereby certify that this report was prepared by me or under my direct
' supervision and that I am a duly Registered Professional Engineer under the
Laws of the State of Minnesota.
