Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services <br />Proposed Apartments: 1020 North Broadway, Everett, Washington <br />September 27, 2017 <br />approximate. The following is a generalized description of the soils encountered in the <br />borings. <br />Asphalt: At our boring locations, we encountered 1.5 to 5 inches of asphalt <br />surfacing. <br />Fill Below the asphalt, we encountered a surficial layer of fill overlying the native <br />soil. This fill generally consisted of gravel base course and silty sand with gravel. <br />The fill ranged from 2%2 to 5 feet thick. <br />Vashon Till (Qvt): Underlying the asphalt and fill at our boring locations, we <br />encountered medium dense to very dense silty fine to medium sand with gravel <br />which we classified as Vashon Till. The till graded to dense to very dense at 2%2 to 5 <br />feet below grade. Sandy layers with slightly increased moisture were encountered at <br />about 10 feet below grade in our borings. <br />The Vashon till encountered at our boring locations is consistent with the geologic <br />mapping. All of our borings were terminated in till. <br />Our subsurface descriptions are based on the conditions encountered at the time of our <br />exploration. Soil conditions between our exploration locations may vary from those <br />encountered. The nature and extent of variations between our exploratory locations may <br />not become evident until construction. If variations do appear, PanGEO should be <br />requested to reevaluate the recommendations in this report and to modify or verify them <br />in writing prior to proceeding with earthwork and construction. <br />3.4 GROUNDWATER <br />Groundwater was not encountered in our test borings to the maximum exploration depth <br />of 15%2 feet below grade. The till underlying the site generally has low permeability and <br />perched groundwater may develop in lenses of more permeable soil within the till <br />formation. If encountered, we anticipate groundwater seepage rates will be light. <br />Groundwater levels will change depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface <br />water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the water level is higher and seepage rates are <br />greater in the wetter, winter months (typically October through May). <br />17-233 1020 North Broadway Page 4 PanGEO, Inc. <br />
