August 8, 2023 <br />ITT Project 23-192 <br />City Project 24-12 <br />Juniper Woods 1-3 Street Reconstruction <br />Ramsey, Minnesota <br />Penetration Test Results: <br />The blow counts in the sandy fill soils (SP, SM) ranged from 10 to 43, which are low to high, <br />indicating they are in a loose to dense condition. The blow counts in the native, sandy soils (SP, <br />SP-SM, SM) ranged from 2 to 22, which are very low to moderate, indicating they are in a very <br />loose to medium dense condition. Refusal of the spoon or auger did not occur in any of the <br />borings. Drilling was relatively easy. <br />Water Level Observations: <br />Observations of the subsurface water conditions were made during drilling operations. <br />Groundwater was not encountered in any of the borings at the time of drilling. <br />The water levels were observed over a short period of time. However, we feel they are an accurate <br />representation of the true groundwater conditions on this site due to the high permeability of the <br />native sandy soils. It should be noted that fluctuations in the level of the groundwater can occur <br />due to variations in rainfall, temperature, spring thaw and other factors not evident at the time of <br />our investigation. <br />Mottled soils were not observed. Mottled native soils are a historical indication of a temporarily or <br />seasonally saturated soil condition. Some greyish soils were observed. Grey native soils are an <br />indication of a permanently saturated soil condition. <br />Laboratory Testing <br />Moisture Content Tests- Moisture content tests were performed on every split spoon sample in <br />accordance with ASTM method D2216; Standard Test Method for Laboratory Determination of <br />Water (Moisture) Content of Soil and Rock by Mass. Individual test results are shown on the <br />boring logs adjacent to the sample that was tested. The natural water contents ranged from 2.2% to <br />9.0%, indicating the soils are very dry. <br />Page 4 <br />
