GeoTest Services, Inc. September 6, 2019 <br />Proposed Swimming Pool — 954 North Park Drive, Everett, WA Project No. 19-0361 <br />-- - — <br />Photo 3. Drone photograph of property and slope, facing southeast. <br />Subsurface Soil Conditions <br />Subsurface conditions were explored on July 29, 2019 by advancing two hand-augered test holes <br />(HA-1, HA-2) and Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP-1, DCP-2) explorations at the approximate <br />locations shown on the Site and Exploration Plan (Figure 2). <br />DCP explorations included advancing a steel rod through the site soils using a 35-pound drop <br />hammer. The number of blows required to drop the rod 4 inches (10 centimeters) was recorded <br />and correlated with the density of granular soil deposits and the consistency of cohesive soils. <br />The explorations generally encountered medium -dense to dense, slightly silty sand (possible fill) <br />underlying approximately 6 to 18 inches of topsoil. The fill appeared to extend to an approximate <br />depth of 3 to 5.5 feet below ground surface (BGS), at which point the soil transitioned to a native, <br />soft to medium -stiff, silt and clay (interpreted as Transitional Beds). This soil became stiff to very <br />stiff at approximately 5 to 6.5 feet BGS and then very stiff with depth to the maximum explored <br />depth of the explorations. The hand-augered test holes were explored to approximate depths of <br />1 foot and 6.5 feet BGS respectively, whereas the DCP explorations were advanced to <br />approximate depths of 11 feet and 9 feet BGS respectively. <br />General Geologic Conditions <br />Geologic mapping of the project area was obtained from the Geologic map of the Everett 7.5- <br />minute quadrangle, Snohomish County, Washington (Minard, 1985), published by the U.S. <br />Geological Survey. The property appears to be situated in close proximity to mapped geologic <br />contact of Vashon Till (Qvt) to the south and transitional beds (Qtb) to the north. The till unit is a <br />glacially deposited, non -sorted mixture of mud, sand, pebbles, cobbles and boulders that has <br />M <br />
