GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY E-6893-1 <br />McDonald's Corporation Page 2 <br />June 9, 1995 <br />SITE CONDITIONS <br />Surface <br />The site of the proposed facility is located at the intersection of 19th Avenue <br />Southeast and 96th Place Southeast in Everett, Washington (see Plate 1, Vicinity <br />Map). The rectangular parcel encompasses about eight tenths (0.8) of an acre. The <br />site is bounded to the north by vacant property, to the east by 19th Avenue <br />Southeast, to the south by an existing restaurant, and to the west by the right-of-way <br />for Interstate 5. <br />The property is covered by a dense growth of Scotch Broom. Two mounds of <br />miscellaneous fill were observed on the site One large mound in the southwest <br />corner and a smaller mound in the northeast portion of the parcel. The appruximate <br />locations of the fill mounds are shown on the Test Pit L—ation Plan, Plate 2. Fill <br />consisted of wood, concrete and asphalt debris and metal strapping. Surface drainage <br />is from east to west with a topographic drop of approximately three feet across the <br />site. <br />Subsurface <br />The site was explored by excavating six test pits at the approximate locations shown <br />on Plate 2. Detailed descriptions of the conditions encountered at each location <br />explored are presented on the test pit logs, Plates A2 through A7. A description of <br />the field exploration methods is included in Appendix A. Following is a generalized <br />description of the subsurface conditions encountered. <br />In general, we observed a 4- to 12-inch layer of topsoil overlying a silty sand with <br />gravel (Unified Soil Classification SM). The topsoil was in a loose condition and had <br />a high organic content. The silty sand underlying the topsoil was dense to depths <br />ranging from two to five feet beneath existing grades. At these depths, the silty sand <br />became very dense to the maximum exploration depth of ten feet beneath existing <br />grades. <br />Earth Conmhanta, Inc. <br />
