Proposed Remedial Excavation: 4849 Spire Lane, Everett, WA <br />December 8.2022 <br />In addition, the adjacent foundation of the existing residence at the site will be underpinned <br />to mitigate the potential impacts the remedial excavation could have on the foundation. <br />SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATIONS <br />One exploration (TP-1) was excavated at the project site on September 28, 2022. TP- I was <br />excavated to practical digging refusal of the excavator at about 12 feet below grade. The <br />approximate test pit location is shown on the attached Figure 2. <br />The relative in -situ density of cohesionless soils, or the relative consistency of fine-grained <br />soils, was estimated from the excavating action of the excavator, probing the sidewalls with <br />a %2-inch diameter steel rod, and the stability of the test pit sidewalls. Where soil contacts <br />were gradual or undulating, the average depth of the contact was recorded in the log. <br />A geologist fi-om our film was present throughout the excavation process to observe the <br />exploration, assist in sampling, and to document the soil samples obtained from the <br />exploration. The summary test pit log is included in Appendix A. <br />As part of our study, we also reviewed five (5) summary boring logs of subsurface <br />explorations advanced within the proposed excavation at the site by Bluestone <br />Environmental, NW our March 22, 2022. The summary boring logs are included in <br />Appendix B. <br />In particular, we reviewed the boring logs for test borings B-1 through B-5. These <br />explorations were conducted using a direct push equipment (Le push -probe method) which <br />returns a continuous soil sample but does not provide relative density measurements of the <br />soil. <br />SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS <br />SITE GEOLOGY <br />According to geologic map of the area (Minard, 1985), the project site is underlain by <br />Vashon glacial till, which is a very dense soil unit that has been overridden by glacial ice. <br />Glacial till typically consists of a heterogeneous mixture of silt, sand, gravel and occasional <br />cobbles and boulders. Clean sand and gravel layers are common in glacial till. <br />22-389_4849 spire lane everenji3t.docx Page 3 PanGEO, Inc. <br />
