Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation NGA File No. 1129119 <br /> .Zahler Residence Development October 14,2019 <br /> Everett,Washington Summary—Page 2 <br /> Final stormwater plans have also not been developed,but we understand that on-site infiltration is being <br /> considered for this site. We performed one small-scale pilot infiltration test within the northeastern <br /> portion of the site. The subsurface soils generally consisted of surficial undocumented fill soils underlain <br /> by silty fine to medium sand with varying amounts of silt, gravel, and iron-oxide weathering, which we <br /> interpreted as native glacial soils. Based on our testing results and the relatively dense silty nature of the <br /> onsite soils, it is our opinion that traditional methods for stormwater infiltration are not feasible. Shallow, <br /> low impact systems such as pervious pavements, rain gardens, and shallow infiltration swales may be <br /> feasible for this site,but should be further evaluated during final design. <br /> In the attached report, we have also provided general recommendations for site grading, slabs-on-grade, <br /> structural fill placement, retaining walls, erosion control, and drainage. We should be retained to review <br /> and comment on final development plans and observe the earthwork phase of construction. We also <br /> recommend that NGA be retained to provide monitoring and consultation services during construction to <br /> confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations,to provide <br /> recommendations for design changes should the conditions revealed differ from those anticipated, and to <br /> evaluate whether or not earthwork and foundation installation activities comply with contract plans and; <br /> specifications. <br /> It has been a pleasure to provide service to you on this project.
