<br /> <br /> <br />February 14, 2025 HGTS Project Number: 25-0035 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Matt Barker <br />Capstone Homes <br />14015 Sunfish Lake Boulevard, Suite 400 <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br /> <br />Re: Geotechnical Exploration Report, Proposed Residential Development, Specht <br />Farms, Elk River, Minnesota <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Barker: <br /> <br />We have completed the geotechnical exploration report for the proposed residential <br />development in Elk River, Minnesota. A brief summary of our results and recommendations <br />is presented below. Specific details regarding our procedures, results and recommendations <br />follow in the attached geotechnical exploration report. <br /> <br />Fifteen (15) soil borings were completed for this project that encountered about 1 to 4 ½ feet <br />of topsoil underlain by native sandy soils that extended to the termination depths of the <br />borings. Groundwater was encountered in 5 of the soil borings at depths ranging from about <br />12 ½ to 55 feet below the ground surface. <br /> <br />The vegetation and topsoil are not suitable for building, roadway or utility support and will <br />need to be removed and replaced, as needed, with suitable compacted engineered fill. It is <br />our opinion that the underlying native soils are suitable for foundation support. <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to assist you on this project. If you have any questions or need <br />additional information, please contact Paul Gionfriddo at 612-729-2959. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Haugo GeoTechnical Services <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Paul Gionfriddo, P.E. <br />Senior Engineer <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
