GeoTest Services, Inc. September 6, 2019 Proposed Swimming Pool — 954 North Park Drive, Everett, WA Project No. 19-0361 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES The purpose of this evaluation is to review the critical areas that are present on and/or adjacent to the subject property. Our scope of services includes the following tasks: • Review readily available geologic and soils information. • Perform a visual site reconnaissance of the proposed development site and immediate vicinity to observe existing site topographic and geologic conditions. • Explore soil and groundwater conditions underlying the site by advancing two hand- augered test holes and Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) explorations to evaluate subsurface conditions. • Perform laboratory testing on representative samples to classify and evaluate the engineering characteristics of the soils encountered. • Provide a written report including a description of subsurface conditions, exploration logs, and an evaluation of critical areas and mitigation recommendations per the City of Everett Municipal Code (EMC) Section 19.37.080. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed construction will of a new swimming pool in the backyard of the existing residence located at 954 North Park Drive in Everett, Washington. Based on discussions with Mr. Bjorg, GTS understands that the proposed swimming pool will be located directly north of the existing residence. Concrete steps will be constructed at the edge of the existing concrete patio and lead down to the pool area. GTS expects that the pool will be relatively small in size, although no information regarding the pool size and configuration was made available to GTS at the time that this report was written. GTS also understands that the existing steep slopes to the east and west of the proposed pool will not be altered. SITE CONDITIONS This section includes a description of the proposed construction and general surface and subsurface conditions observed at the project site during the time of our field investigation. Interpretations of site conditions are based on the results and review of available information, site reconnaissance, subsurface explorations, laboratory testing, and previous experience in the project vicinity. 1
