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 21/2 to 5 feet thick. <br /> Vashon TM (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 21/2 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 />
