Il <br />Geotechnical Engineering Report <br />Home Base Warehouse - Everett <br />July 31,1997 <br />NCA File No. 213497 <br />Page 2 <br />support paved access roads and/or parking area. We expect temporary excavation cuts up to about 30 <br />feet on the west side of the detention pond and we expect up to 35 feet of fill in the ;c.N wetland area that <br />occupies the west side of the proposed structure. A clean granular fill is proposed for the wetland area to <br />provide live and dead storage for the storm water detention system. A 12-foot-deep wet vault with a top <br />elevation of 551 feet and a bottom elevation of 541 feet is proposed just south of the building and just <br />north of the detention pond. Off -site storm water detention is proposed by improving the existing storm <br />water pond located south of the site at the intersection of 100th Street SE and 16th Avenue SE. The on - <br />site detention facilities and the improvements to the off -site storm water pond were not in the scope of <br />work for this report. A paved parking area with "standard pavement" is planned in the central to eastern <br />portion of the site. "Heavy duty pavement" is planned along the entrance and access roads. A 2- to 5- <br />foot-tall rockery is planned for the northeast comer of the parking lot. A small single -story fast food <br />structure is planned for the southeast corner of the site, which should require only minor grading. <br />SCOPE <br />The purpose of this geotechnical engineering investigation is to evaluate subsurface soil and ground <br />water conditions in order to provide recommendations for site development. Specifically, our scope of <br />services includes the following: <br />Review published soils and geologic maps for the site. <br />2. Explore the subsurface conditions at the site by test pits, excavated with a track -mounted <br />excavator. <br />3. Provide recommendations for general site development, including site preparation and <br />grading. <br />4. Provide structural fill recommendations. <br />5. Provide recommendations for support of hard surfaces, such as slabs -on -grade and <br />pavement sections. <br />6. Provide recommendations for foundation design. <br />7. Provide recommendations for retaining walls. <br />8. Provide general recommendations for erosion control and site drainage. <br />9. Prepare a written report to document our findings and recommendations. <br />NELSON-COUVRETTE & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
