ADaPT Engineering, Inc. <br /> Western Wireless Corporation <br /> AMPT Job No,WA98.993 <br /> April I, 1998 <br /> Page I <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> The host parcel is located at 319 76th Street SW in Everett, Washington. The Project site is that of an <br /> existing water reservoir for the City of Everett, and currently supports an existing guyed tower and a <br /> wooden pole antenna. The project site and surrounding area are shown on the attached site vicinity map <br /> (Location Map, Figure 1). It is our understanding that current development plans call for replacement of <br /> an existing wooden pole with a 100-foot monopole tower construction of associated equipment cabinets. <br /> The attached Site and Exploration Plan (Figure 2) shows the approximate location of the proposed <br /> cellular tower lease area in relation to other site features and the fenced compound. <br /> It should be emphasized that the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on <br /> our understanding of the currently proposed utilization of the project site, as derived from written <br /> information supplied to us by Western Wireless Corporation. Consequently, if any charges arc made to <br /> the project, we recommend that we review the changes and modify our recommendations, if appropriate, <br /> to reflect those changes. <br /> EXPLORATORY METHODS <br /> We explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site on March 26, 1998. Our surface <br /> exploration consisted of a visual site reconnaissance. Our subsurface exploration consisted of advancing <br /> one soil test boring to a depth of approximately 30fcet below the existing site grade. The location of the <br /> boring, designated as B-1, is shown on the attached Site and Exploration Plan (Figure 2). <br /> The specific location and depth of the exploration performed was selected in relation to the proposed site <br /> features, under the constraints of budget and site access. The location of the boring and other features <br /> shown on Figure 2 were obtained by hand-taping from existing site features. As such, the exploration <br /> location shown on Figure 2 should be considered accurate to the degree implied by the measuring <br /> methods used. <br /> Boring Methods <br /> Boring B-I was advanced on March 26, 1998 using a truck mounted hollow-stem auger drill rig, The <br /> drill rig was operated by an independent company working under subcontract to ADaPT. A geotechnical <br /> engineer from our firm continuously observed the boring, obtained representative soil samples, and <br /> logged the subsurface conditions. Aller the boring was completed, the borehole was backfilled with a <br /> mixture of soil cuttings and bentonite chips. <br />
