� � <br /> Geotechnical Gngineering Report <br /> Proposed AFui Warchouse <br /> May I l. 2001 <br /> CG File No. 1 l2l <br /> Page 2 <br /> SCOPE: <br /> The purpose of this study is to explore and characterize the subsurface conditions and present <br /> recommendations for site development. Specifically, our scope of services as outlined in our <br /> Proposal for Geotechnical Services,dated April 19, 2001, includes the following: <br /> l. Review the geologic map for the site area. <br /> 2. Cumplete backhoe-excavated test pits to determine the subsurface soil and <br /> grc md water conditions. <br /> 3. Provide �ecommendations for site preparation, grading, and placement of <br /> structural :ill. <br /> 4. Provide recommendations for temporary and permanent cut slope stability. <br /> 5. Provide recommendations for shallow foundation support including lateral <br /> pressures. <br /> 6. Provide soil parameters for use in rockery and concrete retaining wall design. <br /> 7. Piovide recommendations for pavement support and design. <br /> 8. Document our findings and recommendations in a written report. <br /> SITE CONDITIONS <br /> Surface Conditions <br /> The project site consists of a rectangular-shaped lot with about 200 feet of frontage along AirpoR <br /> Road. l he upper(westem)portion of the site has been graded and is generally level. 1he eastem <br /> portion of the site slopes down steeply to a wetland (identified by others). The site is vege[ated <br /> with blackberry bushes, grass, and scattered trees. A paved access roadway is located along the <br /> northem site boundary. <br /> Geology <br /> Most of the Puget Sound Region was affected by past intrusion of continental glaciation. The last <br /> period of glaciation, the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation, ended approximately 10,000 to <br /> 11,000 years ago. Muny of the geomorphic features seen today are a result of scounng and <br /> overriding by glacial ice. During the Vashon Stade, the Puget Sound region was overridden by � <br /> over 3,000 feet of ice. Soil layers ovenidden by [he ice sheet were compacted to a much greater <br /> Cornerstone Geotechnical, Inc. <br /> 3��� <br />
