• Subsurface Exploration and <br /> Everest Bus Facility Geotechnical Engineering Report <br /> Everett, Washington Project and Site Conditions <br /> the buildings near the northeast corner of the property, the demolition of a long equipment <br /> shed along the west side of the site, and the construction of a large asphalt parking lot. An <br /> approximately 10-foot-deep detention vault is to be constructed in the northeast portion of the <br /> property. We understand that the building in the northwest corner of the property will remain. <br /> No other buildings or structures are planned for this site. <br /> The site is located south of 80i° Street SW and north of State Route (SR) 526 in Everett, <br /> Washington with commercial tracts to the east and west. There are two commercial buildings <br /> on the site along with a long equipment shed along the west edge of the site. Asphalt parking <br /> areas were located near the north end.of the site, and gravel-covered parking areas occupied <br /> the remainder of the site. The area is nearly flat with less than approximately 2 feet of <br /> elevation change across the site based on visual estimates. No topographic data was made <br /> available to us. <br /> 3.0 SUBSURrACE EXPLORATION <br /> Subsurface explorations were performed on October 29, 2003 as part of the original <br /> geotechnical report, "Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and Geotechnical Engineering <br /> Report, New Everett School District Bus Facility," dated November 14, 2003. The original <br /> scope of services consisted of six exploration borings on the site. Associated Earth Sciences, <br /> Inc. (AESI) performed additional subsurface explorations on November 11, 2005. Our field <br /> study included advancing seven additional exploration borings to gain subsurface information <br /> about the site and make site-specific recommendations for placement of asphalt pavements. <br /> The various types of soils, as well as the depths where characteristics of the soils changed, are <br /> indicated on the exploration logs presented in the Appendix. The depths indicated on the logs <br /> where conditions changed represent gradational variations between soil types in the field. Our <br /> explorations were approximately located in the field by measuring from known site features <br /> and are shown on Figure 2. <br /> The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based, in part, on the <br /> exploration borings completed for this study. The number, locations, and depth of the <br /> explorations were completed within site and budgetary constraints. Because of the nature of <br /> exploratory work below ground, extrapolation of subsurface conditions between field <br /> explorations is necessary. It should be noted that differing subsurface conditions may be <br /> present due to the random nature of deposition and the alteration of topography by past grading <br /> and/or filling. The nature and extent of any variations between the field explorations may not <br /> become fully evident until construction. If variations are observed at that time, it tnLy be <br /> necessary to re-evaluate specific recommendations in this report and make appropriate changes. <br /> November 28, 2005 ASSOCIATED EARTII SCIENCE=S, INC. <br /> FClld-F'FO3602B2-"ea$IM6a21KFIWP Page 2 <br />
