Thc lowland is part of a regional north-south tretiiding <br /> trough that extcnds from southwestern BrilisU Columbia to neur Eugene, Oregon. NoRh of Olympia, <br /> Washington, this lowland is glacially carved, witlt a depositional and erosional history including at least <br /> fo�lr separate glacial advances/retreats. Thc Pugct Lowland is bounded to the west by the Olympic <br /> Mountains and to the east by the Cascade Rangc. The lowland is filled with glacial and nonglacial <br /> sedimcnts consisting of interbedded gravet,sand,silt, till, and peat lenscs. <br /> 1'he Washington Division of Geology and CaRh Resourecs, Misccllancous Ficld Studies Map MP-1541, �! <br /> Geologic Map of The Edmonds Edmonds Fast and Part of 'I'he Edmonds West Quadrangles, <br /> Washington, indicales that the prope�ty is located in an area that is predominantly underlain by Vaslion I <br /> Glacial Till. Thc Vashon Glacial Till is typically characterized by an unsorted, nonstratificd mixture of <br /> clay, silt, sand, gravcl, cobbles and boulders in variable quantities. The Vashon Glacial Till is lypically <br /> dense to very dense and relatively impermcablc. 'i <br /> Ftcld InvcsHeation <br /> A ficld investigation consisting of excavating and sumpling two exploratory test pits that provided <br /> gencral covcrage of?he property to be developcd was complctcd to evaluate the subsurface soil and <br /> groundwatcr conditions. Thc exploratory test pits were eYcavatcd to approximatcly 5.5 feet below <br /> existing sitc grades. Norihwcst Excavating & Trucking, Ine. (a Krazan subcontractor) performed the <br /> excnvation work on October 6, 2006. The exploratory test pits were excavated with a Hobcat 120 <br /> Trackhoe. Represenlativc samples of thc subsurface soils encountcred in the test pits werc collectcd and <br /> sealed in plastic `:ags. Thcse samples were transporied to our Woodinville offiee for 30 day storage. <br /> The excavated soils wcre continuously examined and visually classified in accordanec with lhe Unificd <br /> Soil Classification Systcm(USCS). <br /> Soil Profile and Subsurface Conditions <br /> Thc subsurfacc conditions encountered within thc shallow exploratory tcst pils appcar to be typical of <br /> thosc encountered in die geologic region of the sitc. Soils cncountcrcd within the two explorarory test <br /> pits ('Pest Pit 1'P-1 and 1'est Pit TP-2) consistcd of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 feet of loose to medium <br /> riense, silty fine to coarse grained sand with variablc amounts of debris (Fill). 7'he fill soil is undedain <br /> 6y medium dense to dense, fine to coarse grained sand wilh variablc amounts of silt and gravel (Glacial <br /> 'Cill). 'Cbis material was encounrered down lo thc termination dcpth of the test p:ts (approzimately 5.5 <br /> feet bclow existing grades). <br /> Groundwatcr <br /> The cxplcratory test pits were checked for the presenec of groundwater during and immediately <br /> following tiie excavation operations. Groundwater was not encountcrcd in the explorarory test pits at the <br /> time of our cxploration. <br /> It sltould be recognized tliat �vater tabte elcvations may fluctuatc with time. 'I7te grouadwater level will <br /> be dependent upon seasonal precipitation, irrigation, land usc, and climatic conditions, as well as other <br /> factors. 7'herefore, water levels at the time of thc ficld invcstigation may be diffetent from those <br /> Krezan&Assoclatn,Inc. � <br /> Offices Swing'Ihe`Ncstem Unitcd Stetes I f <br /> �i <br />
