I <br /> I August 13, 2008 <br /> Project No.T-6241 <br /> • Slab-on-grade floors <br /> • Stormwater facilities <br /> I • Subsurface drainage <br /> • Utilities <br /> I • Pavements <br /> should be noted that the recommendations outlined in this report regarding drainage are associated with soil <br /> IlL <br /> strength, design earth pressures,erosion, and stability. Design and performance issues with respect to moisture <br /> as it relates to the structure environment (i.e., humidity, mildew, mold) is beyond Terra Associates' purview. A <br /> ' building envelope specialist or contractor should be consulted to address these issues,as needed. <br /> 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS <br /> I <br /> 3.1 Surface <br /> The project site is an irregular shaped 35.74-acre parcel located east of and adjacent 36th Avenue West and <br /> northeast of the intersection of 36th Avenue West and Seaway Boulevard in Everett, Washington. TheII <br /> approximate location of the site is shown on the Vicinity Map,Figure 1. <br /> The site is bordered to the north by the existing Intermec development as well as undeveloped forested land, to <br /> Ithe east and south by undeveloped forested land,and to the west by 36th Avenue West. <br /> The currently undeveloped site is heavily forested with both young and mature coniferous and deciduous trees <br /> I and thick undergrowth consisting of blackberries, ferns,and brush. Site topography is undulating with the overall <br /> gradient falling from west to east-northeast. A generally moderately inclined slope exists in the eastern portion <br /> of the site,outside of the proposed development area. <br /> 3.2 Soils <br /> ISoils we observed in the test pits generally consisted of three to six inches of forest duff overlaying loose to <br /> medium dense, reddish-brown silty sand followed by medium dense to dense variations of brown and gray silty <br /> I sand to sand with silt. Soils underlying the surficial organic and weathered soils varied from east to west. In <br /> general, with exception to Test Pit TP-5, soils in the eastern majority of the site consisted of medium dense to <br /> dense outwash deposits composed of silty sand to sand with varying silt.content. Soils in the western portion of <br /> I the site consisted of medium dense to very dense, weakly to moderately cemented glacial till composed of silty <br /> sand with gravel. <br /> I Test Pit TP-5, in the eastern portion of the site found glacial till soils to its termination depth. Test Pits TP-11 <br /> through TP-14 encountered medium dense to dense sand with varying amounts of silty sand to sand with silt <br /> underlying the glacial till horizon at depths of 9 and 12 feet below existing surface grade. <br /> I <br /> Page No.2 <br /> 1 <br />
