December 30th, 2021 G-5593 <br /> 4730— Seahurst Ave,Washington 98203 Page 2 <br /> property line. The site is typically landscaped with grass groundcover,however, features some <br /> shrubs and trees. The slopes to the west are well vegetated with native trees, shrubs, and other <br /> groundcover. <br /> • <br /> The site is accessed by Seahurst Avenue to the east. A paved driveway extending from avenue <br /> enters the property at the northeast corner. The end of the driveway transitions to gravel material <br /> and is unpaved. The site is bounded by residential developed properties to the north, south, and <br /> east, and by undeveloped land to the west. <br /> Proposed Development <br /> At this time, we understand that the proposed development is comprised of a garage addition to <br /> be added to the south face of the residence as well as a new driveway. • <br /> SITE INVESTIGATION <br /> Geologic Overview <br /> According to the area geologic map,the site soils are identified as Vashon subglacial till (Qvt) <br /> from the Fraser Glaciation. Glacial till is described as a very compact mixture of sand, silt, clay, <br /> and gravel deposited under glacial ice during the Fraser glaciation period. Glacial till typically <br /> has a weathered zone of loose to medium dense soil on top, underlain by dense,unweathered till. <br /> Subsurface Investigation <br /> On December 8th, 2021, Garrett Dean, Staff Engineering Geologist from our firm, visited the site <br /> to perform a visual reconnaissance of the site and investigate the subsurface soil conditions. In <br /> addition to our reconnaissance, we completed three hand auger borings in the proposed project <br /> area at the site (HA-1 through HA-3). The boring locations are illustrated on the Existing Site <br /> Plan, and Proposed Site Plan, attached as Plates 2 and 3 to this report. <br /> The native soils encountered in the borings typically consisted of a thin surface veneer of <br /> organic-rich silty sand topsoil,underlain by medium dense to very dense silty sand with some <br /> gravel to the total depth of the borings, approximately 3 feet below the ground surface (bgs) in <br /> HA-2, and 3.3 feet bgs in HA-3. Soils encountered in HA-1 consisted of crushed rock fill <br /> material. The material was observed to be compacted to a very dense condition. Auger refusal <br /> GEO Group Northwest,Inc. <br />
