Helix Design 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 support 50 to 60 vehicles. Site <br /> produce stormwater will be retained onsite if feasible, with the northeast corner 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 2(attached)depicts their approximate relative locations. The <br /> following sections describe the procedures used for excavation of test pits. <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS AND DEPTHS OF EXPLORATIONS <br /> Termination <br /> Exploration Functional Location Depth <br /> (feet) <br /> TP-1 ±135 ft south-southeast of the northern corner of the project site 5 <br /> TP-2 ±140 ft east of western property line and±80 north of the southern property line 4 <br /> TP-3 ±80 ft west of eastern property line and±40 south of the northern property line 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. <br /> Migizi Group,Inc. Page 2 of 16 <br />
