Geotechnical Engineering Report <br />Parcel 00471700002401- 57XX East Drive <br />Everett, Washington <br />December 12, 2009 <br />RMI File No. 53409 <br />Page 2 <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />General <br />We reviewed the general geologic information on the site, which is shown on the Geologic Map of <br />Surficial Deposits in the Seattle 30' by 60' Quadrangle, Washington by James C. Yount et al, (1993 — <br />USGS Open File Report 93-233). The site area, slope profile and observed conditions are shown on the <br />enclosed Site Plan (Figure 2) or Schematic Cross -Section A -A' (Figure 3). <br />Surface Conditions <br />The site is on East Drive in Everett and runs east -west (Figure 1: Vicinity Map). There is a small ravine <br />near its western end. Most of the lot is flat beginning at its access to East Drive. It has been cleared up to <br />about 30 feet from the ravine in its rear. The area near the ravine slopes towards it by about 3 degrees. <br />The ravine slopes down at about 29 degrees (55 percent) and is between 20 and 25 feet deep. The slopes <br />are covered with tall coniferous trees, vegetation and shrubs. Within the 30 feet nearest the ravine there <br />are tall coniferous trees. <br />The soil in this area has been mapped as Vashon till (Qvt) but exposures in the cleared section indicate <br />that it is an advance outwash deposit (Qva) of sands and gravels. <br />There are no significant geologic contacts, landslides or downslope soil movement on within 200 yards. <br />There are no utilities, structures, roads, etc, on the property. There are no existing fill areas. <br />The Cross -Section was constructed from measurements taken onsite with a digital level and tape. <br />Geologic Conditions <br />Landforms within this region comprise a system of glacially sculptured features, which have been <br />exposed by post -glacial erosion. Locally, the terrain of this area has been glacially modified. The soils <br />were placed either prior to, or during the latest glaciation of the Puget Lowland area. Glacial ice last <br />occupied the region during the late Pleistocene epoch, some 10,000 to 13,000 years before the present. <br />RMI ASSOCIATES LLC 3 / <br />
