Sunwood Drive—Street Improvements <br /> Ramsey,Minnesota <br /> NTI Project No.16.61770.100 <br /> CLOSURE <br /> As the widely spaced, small diameter borings provide only a limited amount of data regarding the <br /> existing fill, the existing fill may contain soft zones, debris or significantly greater amounts of unsuitable <br /> materials than could be reasonably inferred from the boring information. Unsuitable materials may not <br /> be discovered during construction and may remain buried within the fill below the slabs and pavements, <br /> resulting in greater than anticipated settlements of the slabs and pavements. These risks cannot be <br /> eliminated without completely removing the fill, but can be reduced by thorough exploration and <br /> testing during site preparation and construction. <br /> Our conclusions and recommendations are predicated on observation and testing of the earthwork <br /> directed by Geotechnical Engineer of Record. Our opinions are based on data assumed representative <br /> of the site. However, the area coverage of borings in relation to the entire project is very small. For this <br /> and other reasons, we do not warrant conditions below the depth of our borings, or that the strata <br /> logged from our borings are necessarily typical of the site. Deviations from our recommendations by <br /> plans,written specifications, or field applications shall relieve us of responsibility unless our written <br /> concurrence with such deviations has been established. <br /> The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication any <br /> environmental or biological assessment of the site or identification or prevention of pollutants, <br /> hazardous materials or conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such <br /> contamination or pollution, other studies should be undertaken. <br /> This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of The City of Ramsey and its agents for specific <br /> application to the proposed Sunwood Drive—Street Improvements project in the City of Ramsey, <br /> Minnesota.
