This report represents our work on <br />this project as authorized by you. It includes our recommendations regarding earthwork, fill and <br />compaction, subgrade preparation, and pavement design. An electronic copy is enclosed. <br />The soils encountered were mostly fine grained sandy fill (SM, SP-SM) over native, sandy (SP, <br />SP-SM) outwash soils. Some of the fill near the surface was dark but is not believed to be overly <br />organic. Organic silt (OL) and peat (PT) was encountered in borings SB-1 through SB-3 on <br />Xenolith Street to depths of 7.5 to 10.0 feet. No peat (PT) or other highly organic soils were <br />encountered in any of the other borings. Some fine silty clayey sands (SC-SM) <br />and clayey sand (SC) were encountered in borings SB-5and SB-6 on Carolyn Lane NW and in <br />boring SB-9 in Garnet Street NW. Groundwater was observed in some of the borings at varying <br />depths. <br />Mr. Feriancek, it has been our pleasure to work with you on this project. Independent Testing <br />appreciated the opportunity to perform this geotechnical evaluation and look forward to <br />continuing our participation during the construction phase of this project. Please contact Patrick <br />Johnson if you have any questions regarding this report. Please contact Tyler Burkes if you <br />would like a proposal for the materials testing services that will be needed. <br />Sincerely, <br />Patrick A. Johnson, P.E. <br />Minnesota License #22037 <br />Kevin T. Reller <br />President <br />
