Helix Design Group,Inc.-Greenwood Heating Sr Air Conditioning,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 in-situ soils 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-2 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 corner 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 /> ground cover. The interior of the site has also recently been impacted by manmade activities,with <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 21/2 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.
