Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazards, <br />View Ridge Community Church Addition and Geotechnical Engineering Report <br />Everett, Washington Project and Site Conditions <br />I. PROJECT AND SITE CONDITIONS <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />This report presents the results of our subsurface exploration, geologic hazards, and <br />geotechnical engineering studies for the proposed View Ridge Community Church Addition in <br />Everett, Washington. The site location is shown on the "Vicinity Map," Figure 1, and, the <br />approximate location of the subsurface exploration completed for this study is shown on the <br />"Site and Exploration Plan," Figure 2. A log of the subsurface exploration completed for this <br />study is included in Appendix A. <br />1.1 Purpose and Scope <br />The purpose of this study was to provide geotechnical engineering recommendations to be <br />utilized in the preliminary design of the proposed View Ridge Community Church Addition. This <br />study included a review of selected available geologic literature, drilling one exploration boring, <br />and performing geologic studies to assess the type, thickness, distribution, and physical <br />properties of the subsurface sediments and ground water, if any. Geotechnical engineering <br />studies were completed to establish recommendations for site preparation, structural fill, <br />foundation design, site drainage, slab -on -grade parameters, slope stability, and setbacks and <br />buffers from the steep slope. This report summarizes our fieldwork and offers <br />recommendations based on our present understanding of the project. We recommend that we <br />be allowed to review the recommendations presented in this report and revise them, if needed, <br />when project plans have been further developed. <br />1.2 Authorization <br />Authorization to proceed with this study was granted by Pastor E.T. Tapper with the View Ridge <br />Community Church. Our work was completed in general accordance with our scope of work <br />and cost proposal dated July 11, 2016. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of <br />View Ridge Community Church and its agents, for specific application to this project. Within <br />the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, our services have been performed in accordance <br />with generally accepted geotechnical engineering and engineering geology practices in effect in <br />this area at the time our report was prepared. No other warranty, express or implied, is made. <br />August 29, 2016 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. <br />SKL11d-KE160351A2-ProjectsJ20160351JKEJWP Page 1 <br />
