Proposed Remedial Excavation: 4849 Spire Lane, Everett, WA <br />December 8.2022 <br />Also mapped near the site are outwash channels of the stratigraphically older Vashon <br />advance outwash. This unit is a well -sorted sand and gravel that was deposited by streams <br />near the advancing ice sheet. This soil unit has been glacially overridden, and as such, <br />typically ranges from dense to very dense. <br />The borings reviewed for.this evaluation and our test pit exploration generally encountered <br />what we interpreted to be fill soil, above a dense poorly graded sand with silt, that we <br />interpreted to be the Vashon advance outwash mapped near the subject site. <br />SOIL CONDITIONS <br />For a detailed description of the subsurface conditions encountered at each exploration <br />location, please refer to the summary exploration logs provided in Appendix A and <br />Appendix B. The stratigraphic contacts indicated on the logs represent the approximate <br />depth to boundaries between soil units. Actual transitions between soil units may be more <br />gradual or occur at different elevations. The descriptions of groundwater conditions and <br />depths are likewise approximate. The following is a generalized description of the soils <br />encountered in the test pit and previous boring logs. <br />Unit 1— Fill and Relic Topsoil: Our test pit exploration encountered up to about <br />21/2 feet of medium dense, silty sand above an approximate 1-foot of dark brown <br />silty sand to sandy silt, which we interpreted to be fill soils above relic topsoil based <br />on their reworked texture and presence of organic material. These are likely soils <br />disturbed during past grading or earthwork activities associated with construction <br />of the residence. <br />Unit 2 — Vashon Advance Ouhvash: Below the fill and relic topsoil, the test pit <br />encountered a poorly -graded sand with some silt. Based on our probing, the <br />digging action of the excavator, and no caving encountered in the test pit, we <br />interpret this unit as the advance outwash unit of the Vashon Stade mapped near <br />the project site. This soil unit was encountered to the termination depth of 12 feet <br />below grade in our test pit and up to 35 feet below grade in the previous direct push <br />probes advanced at the site. <br />Our subsurface descriptions are based on the conditions encountered at the time of our <br />exploration. Soil conditions between the exploration locations may vary from those <br />encountered. The nature and extent of variations between our exploratory locations may <br />22-389_4849 spire lane everett_ipt.docx Page 4 PanGEO, Inc. <br />
