September 10,2017 <br /> Infiltration Tests <br /> L&A Job No. 17-095 <br /> Page 4 <br /> copy of which is presented on Plate 3. Detailed descriptions of soils encountered by the <br /> test pits are presented in test pit logs on Plates 4 and 5. <br /> The test pits, excavated.to 8.5 to 9.0 feet deep, encountered a layer of topsoil, about 10 to <br /> 12 inches thick, mantling the site. The topsoil is underlain by a layer of weathered soil of <br /> brown to light-brown, medium-dense, silty fine sand with trace to some gravel, about 2.8 <br /> to 3.5 feet thick. Underlying the weathered soil to the depths explored is a glaciaF till <br /> deposit of light-brown to light-gray, very-dense, cemented, gravelly, silty, fine sand'with <br /> occasional cobble. <br /> Groundwater Condition <br /> Groundwater was not encountered by any of the three.test pits excavated on the project <br /> site. The glacial till deposits underlying the site at shallow depth are of extremely low <br /> permeability and would tend to perch stormwater infiltrating into the more permeable <br /> surficial soils. This perched groundwater would accumulate and rise in the wet winter <br /> months and may dry up completely in the dry summer months. <br /> IN-SITU INFILTRATION TESTS <br /> In-situ Infiltration Test Pits <br /> The locations of the two infiltration tests we conducted, IT-1 and IT-2, are shown on <br /> Plate 1 attached hereto. The infiltration test pits were located inside the footprint of the <br /> proposed access road in between the three test pits, TP-1, TP-2, and TP-3. The <br /> infiltration tests were conducted in accordance with the procedure of Small Pilot Test of <br /> the Everett Stormwater Code. <br /> LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
