-4- <br /> for other structures, column loads will be less. Illumination facili- <br /> ties will include timber poles about 80 feet high. Lateral loads on the <br /> poles were not available at the time of this report. <br /> FIELD EXPLORATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTING <br /> Subsurface conditions were explored by excavating 14 test pits at Hall <br /> Park, designated TP-101 through TP-114; and 16 test pits and 3 hand <br /> auger holes at Kasch Park, designated TP-201 through TP-216, and HA-1 <br /> through HA-3. Test pits TP-101 through TP-104 and TP-203 through TP-216 <br /> were excavated with a John Deere 2150 tractor equipped with a backhoe <br /> attachment. The remaining test pits were excavated with a Ford backhoe <br /> (model unknown) . The backhoes were equipped with 12-inch wide buckets, <br /> and were provided and operated by the City of Everett Parks Department. <br /> The test pit explorations extended to depths of 4 to 11 feet below the <br /> existing ground surface. Hand auger holes were 1.7 to 5.3 feet deep. <br /> Our field engineer observed the explorations on a full -time basis. <br /> Representative bulk soil samples were collected at selected locations <br /> and depths. Soils were classified, and logs of subsurface conditions <br /> were prepared. <br /> The approximate locations of the explorations are shown on the Site and <br /> Exploration Plans, Drawings 1, 2, and 3. Summary logs of the explora- <br /> tions are presented as Drawings 4 through 36. <br /> Samples were returned to our laboratory for further examination and <br /> testing. Laboratory testing included natural moisture content determi - <br /> nation, grain size analyses, and determination of moisture-density <br /> relationships ("compaction tests") . Laboratory test results are sum- <br /> marized on Drawings 37 through 40. <br />
