I <br /> I <br /> I GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT <br /> RIVERFRONT BOULEVARD <br /> EVERETT, WASHINGTON <br /> I <br /> 1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> 1.1 GENERAL <br /> I This report presents the results of a geotechnical engineering investigation performed by HWA <br /> GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) in support of design and construction of Riverfront Boulevard in <br /> Everett, Washington. It is our understanding that Shelter Holdings proposes to construct a new <br /> I roadway, designated Riverfront Boulevard, to support the proposed multi-phased Riverfront <br /> Development project. Riverfront Boulevard will connect 41st Street to the south and 36th Street <br /> to the North while providing primary access for the proposed mixed-use development. The <br /> I proposed roadway will be constructed across the Everett Landfill site as shown in the vicinity <br /> Map, Figure 1. The currently proposed geometry of Riverfront Boulevard and the associated <br /> development are shown on the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 2. <br /> IThe purpose of our investigation was to evaluate the subsurface conditions along the proposed <br /> roadway, perform geotechnical engineering analyses and provide geotechnical recommendations <br /> Iin support of the roadway design. <br /> This report and the recommendations herein supersede all recommendations provided in previous <br /> Iversions of this report. <br /> 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> I It is our understandingthat Shelter Holdings is proposing to developthe old Everett Landfill site <br /> g P p g <br /> with a multi-phased mixed-use development. The approximate layout of the proposed <br /> I development is shown in Figure 2. Access to each phase of the development will be provided by <br /> Riverfront Boulevard, which will extend from 41 St street in the south and 36th Street in the north. <br /> Riverfront Boulevard will consist of a grade supported roadway with sidewalks and planter areas. <br /> IThick and highly variable deposits of landfill refuse and compressible alluvial soils underlie the <br /> proposed alignment of Riverfront Boulevard. These soils have been surcharged to reduce <br /> I anticipated settlement across the site. However, long-term secondary settlements are expected to <br /> occur over the design life of the development and roadway. The proposed roadway and <br /> associated utilities will need to be designed to account for the anticipated settlement along the <br /> Ialignment. <br />
