Helix De ig<n Group, Inc —Greenwood Heating & Aix CondiSoning, Everett, WA April 22, 2022 <br />Geotechnical Engineering Report Z0219 <br />The enclosed test pit logs indicate the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in our <br />test pits, based on our field classifications. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational or <br />undulating, our logs indicate the average contact depth. We estimated the relative density and <br />consistency of the insitusoils by means of the excavation characteristics and the stability of the test <br />pit sidewalls. Our logs also indicate the approximate depths of any sidewall caving or <br />groundwater seepage observed in the test pits. The soils were classified visually in general <br />accordance with the system described in Figure A-1, which includes a key to the exploration logs. <br />Summary logs of the explorations are included as Figures A through A-4. <br />3.0 SITE CONDITIONS <br />The following sections present our observations, measurements, findings, and interpretations <br />regarding surface, soil, groundwater, infiltration and seismic conditions. <br />3.1 Surface Conditions <br />As previously indicated, the project site consists of two contiguous, previously undeveloped tax <br />parcels, situated immediately northeast of the intersection between Airport Rd and Holly Dr, <br />towards the southwest comer of the city limits of Everett, Washington. The associated parcels <br />occupy 1.34 acres and 0.85 acres, respectively, with the subject property encompassing a total areal <br />extent of approximately 2.19 acres, with the entirety of the property being enclosed by chain link <br />fencing. The project area is bordered by developed commercial/industrial sites immediately to the <br />north and east, with these areas currently being occupied by Pioneer Cable Contractors, Inc., and <br />Goldfinch Bros, Inc., respectively. Additionally, offsite to the west, beyond the course of Airport <br />Rd, is the Airport Road Recycling & Transfer Station, and a transformer station for a local electric <br />utility. Beyond (to the west) the transfer and transformer stations are properties owned by Paine <br />Field. <br />Currently the site is occupied by tall grasses, thin trees and scattered brushes. Brush and thin trees <br />are largely relegated to the margins of the property, with the interior of the site containing only thin <br />groundcover. The interior of the site has also recently been impacted by manmade activities, wi th <br />evidence of recent homeless encampments being present. <br />Topographically, the project area is relatively level to gently sloped, with a slight descent from <br />south to north being observed over the full extent of the parcel. <br />3.2 Soil Conditions <br />Our subsurface explorations revealed relatively consistent subgrade conditions across the project <br />area; generally consisting of a surface mantle of forest duff underlain by native, glacial till deposits. <br />The uppermost 2 to 2�h feet of glacial soils were highly weathered, comprising mottled, medium <br />dense gravelly silty sand. Beneath this soil horizon we encountered unweathered glacial till soils, <br />generally comprising very dense gravelly silty sand. Unweathered glacial till soils were observed <br />through the termination of all of our test pit explorations; a maximum depth of approximately <br />5 feet below existing grade, <br />Migizi Group, Inc.
