The westcrn edge of the site ncar Alarinc <br /> View Drive is belicved to be underlain by vcry dense glacial soils at a shallo�v dep[h. In the vicinity of the Marinc <br /> p Spill Response Corporation (b1SRC) building, these soils are on the order of 30 to 40 (eet decp. At about Nic casa <br /> t �acst mid-point of the site, this dcpth is closc to ]00 fect (plus or minus) and Qiis depth scems to be consistent to <br /> the westem extent of thc site. �Ve expect some variation of thc depth to fimi native soils. The 2002 URS rcport <br /> � for the south bulkhcad wall includes an exaggcrated cross-section that illustrates the subsurface conditions. <br /> }lo�vcver, thcir cxplorations do not extend to the dense glacial soils from about thc eastem third point of thc site to <br /> � thc west. 1Ve havc attached a copy of this cross-section to this Iettcr. <br /> � The upper 20 fcct of soil at the sitc has been interpreted as fill. Therc is some nood debris in this zone, rcportcdl�� <br /> from a IumUcr mill previously located on the south side of the site. Thc next I S to 20 feet could be native alluvial <br /> , soils or hydraulic filL It is difficult to differentiate behveen these soils as the site is close to the mouth of thc <br /> Snohomish River and sand and silt very similar to hydraulic fill are continually being placed by the river. IIclo�v <br /> f these soils the explorations encountered 30 feet or more of so8 to medium stiff silt. \Ve note that the URS cross <br /> I <br /> scction classifies this material as medium stiff to stiff, but that one boring had almost all zcro blo�v coont material <br /> ! for 30 feet. Thc blow coimts in this material varicd from 0 to 12. This e�tends past a depth oCabout 70 fcet in the <br /> mo;t rccent 6orincs.
