Subsurfoce Erplora�ion and <br />Proposed 7-Elrven Properry Ceorechnical Engineering Report <br />Everett, Washingmn Pro/rcr und Site Condlrionr <br />not be reached. This material was interpreted as lodgement till. The lodgement till sediments <br />w�re deposited at the base of an ice sheet, whirh filled the Puget Lowland more than 12,000 <br />years ago. The ice sheet was several thousand feet thick, which resulted in the till being a <br />compact soil possessing high strength, low compressibiliry, and low permeability <br />chazacteristics. The lodgement till extended below the termination depth of the explorations. <br />This material would provide suitable foundation support for the project. <br />4.2 Hvdrolo�y <br />Minor to moderate ground water scepages were observed in all the explorations at the time of <br />our study in January 2001. The seepage elevations varied but were typically observed on top <br />of the dense lodgement till or fill sediments. One of the seepage zones in EP-3 was observed <br />within a sand lense within the lodgement till material. The seepages were interpreted to <br />represent a perched wndition. Perched water is formed when water infiltrates through <br />permeable sediments and becomes vapped or perched atop a less permeable material such as <br />the lodgement till or dense, fine-grained fill soil. It should be noted that fluctuations in the <br />level and amount of ground water may occur due to the time of the year, variations in the <br />amount of precipitation, and changes in site development. Additional ground water seepages <br />could also be encountered at random locations and depths within tl�e existing fill soil. <br />A9arch 19, 2001 ASSOGATED E�RTN SClENCES <br />srsrr �,,, . eFcasr.Ut . n: nvr��u �u - u:n� Page 5 <br />R�{ <br />
