APPENDIX A <br /> FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING <br /> Proposed Storage Building <br /> Everett,Washington <br /> On August 21, 2007, we completed our site exploration by observing soil conditions at 5 test pits. The test pits <br /> were excavated using a track-mounted excavator to a maximum depth of 15 feet below existing site grades. Test <br /> pit locations were determined in the field by measurements from existing site features. The approximate location <br /> of the test pits is shown on the attached Exploration Location Plan, Figure 2. Test Pit Logs are attached as <br /> Figures A-2 through A-6. <br /> A geotechnical engineer from our office conducted the field exploration. Our representative classified the soil <br /> conditions encountered, maintained a log of each test pit, obtained representative soil samples,and recorded water <br /> levels observed during excavation. All soil samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil <br /> Classification System(USCS)described on Figure A-I. <br /> Representative soil samples obtained from the test pits were placed in closed containers and taken to our <br /> laboratory for further examination and testing. The moisture content of each sample was measured and is <br /> morted on the individual Test Pit Logs. Grain size analyses were performed on selected samples. The results of <br /> grain size analyses are shown on Figure A-7. <br /> Project No. T-6116-2 <br />
