November 11, 2016 <br /> HWA Project No. 2014-117-21 <br /> 2.1 HWA PHASE I EXPLORATIONS <br /> Our Phase I exploration program consisted of drilling four geotechnical borings, designated <br /> BH-1 through BH-4, at various locations on the subject property. Phase I explorations were <br /> conducted by Holocene Drilling of Lacey, Washington on August 15th 2014. <br /> Boring BH-1 was drilled to a depth of 20.8 feet in support of design of the proposed bus bay <br /> platforms. Boring BH-2 was drilled to a depth of 20.5 feet in support of developing soil <br /> parameters for design of site improvements. Boring BH-3 was drilled to a depth of 21 feet in <br /> support of stormwater facility design. Boring BH-4 was drilled to a depth of 20.9 feet in support <br /> of design of the center bus island. <br /> 2.2 HWA PHASE II EXPLORATIONS <br /> Our Phase II exploration program consisted of drilling two machine-drilled borings (designated <br /> BH-5 and BH-6) and advancing five hand borings (designated HH-1 through HH-5). Dynamic <br /> cone penetrometer(DCP)testing was performed in each hand boring to evaluate soil density at <br /> depths beyond the bottom of the hand-bored shaft. <br /> Borings BH-5 and BH-6 were drilled to depths ranging of 31.5 and 30.6 feet, respectively, in <br /> support of proposed signal poles near the proposed transit center entrance on 75th Street SW. <br /> Borings BH-5 and BH-6 were drilled by Environmental Drilling of Snohomish, Washington on <br /> February 15, 2016 and November 3, 2016, respectively. Hand borings HH-1 and HH-2 were <br /> advanced to depths of 2.3 and 3 feet, respectively, in support of the proposed bus bay platforms. <br /> Hand borings HH-3 and HH-4 were advanced to depths of 3.5 and 3.3 feet, respectively, in <br /> support of a proposed retaining wall. Hand boring HH-5 was advanced to a depth of 3 feet in <br /> support of proposed signal pole design near the current entrance to the PUD facility on'75th Street <br /> SW. <br /> The approximate boring locations for Phase I and H explorations are shown on the Site and <br /> Exploration Plan, Figure 2. Each exploration was monitored by an HWA geotechnical engineer. <br /> Summary boring logs are presented in Appendix A, Figures A-2 through A-12. <br /> 3. SITE CONDITIONS <br /> 3.1 GENERAL GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS <br /> Geologic information for the project area was obtained from the Preliminary Surficial Geologic <br /> Map of the Mukilteo and Everett Quadrangles, Snohomish County, Washington (Smith, 1976). <br /> According to this map, near-surface deposits at the project site consist of Vashon glacial till. <br /> Glacial till is the material which was deposited along the sole of the glacial ice as lodgement till. <br /> 2014-117 Final Geotechnical Report 3 HWA GEOSCIENCES INC. <br />
