Lake Front <br />Ramsey, Minnesota <br />NTI Project No. 18.MSP05470.000 <br />2.4 Laboratory Test Program <br />Our analysis and recommendations of this report are based upon our interpretation of the standard <br />penetration test resistance determined while sampling soils, laboratory test results and experience with <br />similar soils from other sites near the project. The results of such tests are summarized on the boring <br />logs or attached laboratory test reports. <br />3.0 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 <br />pavements, resulting in greater than anticipated settlements of the slabs and pavements. These risks <br />cannot be eliminated without completely removing the fill, but can be reduced by thorough exploration <br />and testing during site preparation and construction. <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 Bolton & Menk, Inc. and their agents for specific <br />application to the proposed Lake Front project in Ramsey, Minnesota.
