Helix De®gn Group, Inc —Greenwood Heating & Air Conditioning, Everett, WA April 22, 2022 <br />Geotechnical Engineering Report Z0219 <br />Improvement plans involve the clearing/stripping/grading of the subject property, and the <br />construction of a one-story, 10,000-sf warehouse building adjoined to a two-story, 5,000-sf office <br />building towards the central portion of the property. The new structures will be encircled by <br />extensive asphalt pavements for drive lanes and parking facilities to support50 to 60 vehicles. Site <br />produce stormwater will be retained onsite if feasible, with the northeast comer of the property <br />being reserved for stormwater management. <br />2.0 EXPLORATORY METHODS <br />We explored surface conditions at the project site on March 15, 2022, and subsurface conditions at <br />the project site on March 25, 2022. Our exploration and evaluation program comprised the <br />following elements: <br />• Surface reconnaissance of the site, <br />• Three exploratory test pit excavations (designated TP-1 through TP-3), excavated on <br />March 25, 2022, and <br />• A review of published geologic and seismologic maps and literature. <br />Table 1 (below) summarizes the approximate functional locations and termination depths of our <br />subsurface explorations, and Figure (attached) depicts their approximate relative locations. The <br />following sections describe the procedures used for excavation of test pits. <br />TABLET <br />APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS AND DEPTHS OF EXPLORATIONS <br />Tersination <br />Exploration <br />Functional Location <br />Depth <br />(feet) <br />TP-1 <br />m 135 ft south�outhcast of the northern comer of the project site <br />5 <br />TP-2 <br />± 140 ft east of western property line and ± 80 north of the southern property line <br />4 <br />TP-3 <br />± 80 ft west of eastern propery line and ±40 south of the northern propery line <br />4 <br />The specific number and locations of our explorations were selected in relation to the existing site <br />features, under the constraints of surface access, underground utility conflicts, and budget <br />considerations. <br />It should be realized that the explorations performed and utilized for this evaluation reveals <br />subsurface conditions only at discrete locations across the project site and that actual conditions in <br />other areas could vary. Furthermore, the nature and extent of any such variations would not <br />become evident until additional explorations are performed or until construction activities have <br />begun. If significant variations are observed at that time, we may need to modify our conclusions <br />and recommendations contained in this report to reflect the actual site conditions. <br />2.1 Test Pit Procedures <br />Our exploratory test pits were excavated with a rubber tracked mini -excavator operated by an <br />excavation contractor under subcontract to MGI. An engineering geologist from our firm observed <br />the test pit excavations, collected soil samples, and logged the subsurface conditions. qqqq���� <br />Migizi Group, Inc. Page 2 of 16 <br />
