Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation NGA File No.988017 <br /> East Marine View Drive Warehouse May 19,2017 <br /> Everett,Washington Page 2 <br /> SITE CONDITIONS <br /> Surface Conditions <br /> The property consists of irregular-shaped parcel covering approximately 7.74 acres. The site is relatively <br /> level and currently occupied by a burnt down commercial warehouse building with large paved parking <br /> areas surrounding the old warehouse building. The ground surface within the property is generally <br /> covered with crushed rock, asphalt paving or concrete slabs with limited vegetation. The site is bounded <br /> to the north by the Snohomish River, to the east and west by commercial properties and to the south by <br /> East Marine View Drive. We observed indications of minor settlement and cracking within the existing <br /> pavements within the property. We also observed indications of minor ponding surface water within <br /> multiple areas within the site during our most recent site visit on March 30,2017. <br /> Subsurface Conditions <br /> Geology: The geologic units for this site are shown on the Geologic Map of the Marysville 7.5-Minute <br /> Ouadrangle, Snohomish County, Washington, by James P. Minard (USGS Miscellaneous Field Studies <br /> Map 1985). The site is mapped as Younger Alluvium and Estuarine Deposits (Qyal). The younger <br /> alluvium is described as sand, silt, and clay. Our explorations encountered sand and silt soils generally <br /> consistent with the description of Younger Alluvium deposits. <br /> Explorations: The subsurface conditions within the site were explored on March 30 through 31,2017 by <br /> monitoring two geotechnical borings performed by a track-mounted drill rig extending to approximate <br /> depths in the range of 86.5 and 91.5 feet below the existing ground surface. The approximate locations of <br /> the borings are shown on the Schematic Site Plan in Figure 2. A geologist from NGA was present during <br /> the explorations, examined the soils and geologic conditions encountered, obtained samples of the <br /> different soil types,and maintained logs of the borings. <br /> A Standard Penetration Test(SPT)was performed on each of the samples during drilling to document soil <br /> density at depth. The SPT consists of driving a 2-inch outer-diameter, split-spoon sampler 18 inches <br /> using a 140-pound hammer with a drop of 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler <br /> the final 12 inches is referred to as the"N"value and is presented on the boring logs. The N value is used <br /> to evaluate the strength and density of the deposit. <br /> The soils were visually classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System, <br /> presented in Figure 3. The boring logs are attached to this report and are presented as Figures 4 and 5. <br /> We present a brief summary of the subsurface conditions in the following paragraph. For a detailed <br /> description of the subsurface conditions,the test pit logs should be reviewed. <br /> NELSON GEOTECHNICAL ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
