The geotechnical investigation would drill 12 boreholes with a max. borehole diameter of 6 in. and varying from 30-40 ft using an all-terrain rig with a footprint of approx. 210 sq feet. This investigation is needed to determine soil characteristics.
Location
The geotechnical investigation is proposed in sections 21, 25, and 35, T.145N, R98.W, Section 18, T.147N., R98W., and sections 13 and 24, T.147N., R99W., 5th PM, McKenzie County, North Dakota.
