City of Everett <br /> Property Access Work Plan <br /> Sonic drilling uses high frequency vibratory energy to advance a solid steel casing into the soil,with intermittent <br /> water injections as needed for lubrication. A sampler attached to the interior of the casing collects a highly <br /> disturbed continuous soil sample with each casing segment advance. Soil samples are brought to the surface <br /> using a wireline system and extruded into plastic bags for laboratory review and testing. <br /> For either method, soil samples will be obtained using Standard <br /> Penetration Tests(SPT)at 2'h-or 5-foot intervals to the depth <br /> explored.Work activities will be actively managed to minimize <br /> work area disturbance. Upon completion of each boring, all <br /> material generated during drilling operations will be stored in 55- <br /> gallon drums and removed offsite for disposal at a permitted <br /> facility by the drill crew. Each boring location will be backfilled <br /> according to Washington State Department of Ecology (WA DOE) <br /> regulations using bentonite chips or bentonite-grout mixture.The <br /> boring location will be patched appropriately with concrete upon r <br /> completion. <br /> �HOLT � <br /> The drill crew will install standpipe piezometer groundwater <br /> monitoring wells or PVC seismic downhole testing casings at ,tl <br /> selected borings. The PVC casings will be fitted with vibrating s <br /> wire piezometers (VWPs)to monitor groundwater levels at if - <br /> selected depths. Where these installations occur,the borehole a <br /> will be backfilled in accordance with WA DOE regulations and - <br /> completed with a flush-mount steel monument set in concrete. sj <br /> The flush mount steel monument has a secured lid to allow <br /> access for subsequent site visits to collect data. wr <br /> Seismic Downhole Testing <br /> A few days to few weeks after drilling is complete, seismic <br /> downhole testing will be performed at select boring locations. <br /> Seismic downhole testing will involve placing traffic control <br /> devices to safely park a van or similar vehicle at the boring <br /> location for about 0.5 day.The testing method involves lowering a <br /> string of instruments attached to an instrument cable down the <br /> PVC casing and collecting shear wave velocity data at specified <br /> depth intervals. Data is collected in a datalogger for downloading, <br /> analyses and reporting. Once data collection has been <br /> completed,the vehicle will leave the site and traffic control devices <br /> will be removed. <br /> Piezometer Monitoring <br /> Standpipe piezometer installation locations will be revisited to <br /> collect water levels approximately every three months and one or <br /> more times to perform hydrogeologic testing. VWP installation <br /> locations will be revisited approximately every three months to <br /> download groundwater level data. Each subsequent visit will <br /> involve placing traffic control devices to safely access the steel <br /> monument for up to one hour. Once data collection is completed, <br /> traffic control devices will be removed. <br /> .15 <br /> �� , �• �1, <br /> SCHEDULE <br /> • Sound Transit has committed to 72 hours notification to the City prior to commencing fieldwork. <br /> • Unless other arrangements are made, work will be completed on weekdays(Mon-Fri)during daylight <br /> hours(approximately 7am to 5pm) unless otherwise specified. <br /> • Geotechnical investigations are typically completed in 3 to 5 days per boring location <br /> TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS <br /> Work will be conducted during daylight hours.Traffic control plans have been developed for lane(s)or shoulder <br /> closures and are provided in Appendix B. <br />
