Pearson Place <br />Ramsey, Minnesota <br />NTI Project No. 17.62064.100 <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />1.1 Site / Project Description <br />The proposed project consisted of a site geotechnical investigation of the future Pearson Place <br />development located north of Bowers Drive in Ramsey, Minnesota. <br />1.2 Scope of Services <br />The purpose of this factual report is to present a summary of our geotechnical exploration and provide <br />the soil conditions encountered at the project area. Our "Scope of Services" was limited to the <br />following: <br />1. Explore the project subsurface by means of two (2) hand auger probes extending to depths of <br />approximately 12 and 14 feet below existing grade. <br />2. Conduct laboratory test(s) on representative samples for characterizing the index and <br />engineering properties of soils strata. <br />3. Perform two (2) Double -Ring Infiltrometer (DRI) tests at the client selected location. <br />4. Provide a factual geotechnical report with the results of our field and laboratory tests results. <br />2.0 EXPLORATION PROGRAM RESULTS <br />2.1 Exploration Scope <br />Site geotechnical exploration began on May 25, 2017, with individual hand auger probes advanced to <br />the water table at approximate locations as presented on the diagram within the appendices. Soil <br />samples were taken at soil strata changes. <br />Probes were surveyed by Otto Associates, Engineers and Land Surveyors, Inc. <br />The probe holes were backfilled with auger cuttings. Minor settlement of the probe holes will occur. <br />Owner is responsible for final closure of the probe holes. <br />2.2 Subsurface Conditions <br />Please refer to the probe logs within the appendices for a detailed description and depths of stratum at <br />the probe locations. Additional comment on the evaluation of recovered soil samples is presented <br />within the report attachments. <br />2.3 Groundwater Conditions <br />NTI field staff observed the probe holes for groundwater (if any) during and at the completion of hand <br />auger activities. At the time of the field exploration, measurable groundwater was encountered at both <br />SB-1 and SB-2 locations. At SB-1, groundwater was observed at an approximate elevation of 848.5 feet. <br />At SB-2, groundwater was observed at an approximate elevation of 849.0 feet. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
