Subs�vjncc Erploration, Gcologic Nrkard, and <br /> Everett Sclroo!District Mniatrnunce Fnciliry Preliminary Geoteci+nica!Engineering Report <br /> Everett, Washingmn Design Recommendations <br /> The conclusions and recommenda[ions presenred in this report �re based on the exploration <br /> borings compieted for this swdy. The number, location, and depth of the explorations were <br /> complered within site constraints. Bccause of the nature of e�ploratory work below ground, <br /> extrapolation of subsurface conditions between field explorations is necessary. It should be <br /> ❑oted that differing suUsurface conditions may sometimes be present duc to the random nature <br /> of deposition and the alteration of topography by past grading and/or filling. The nature and <br /> extent oF any variations benveen �he field explurations may not become Cully evide�it until <br /> construction. If variations are observed at tl�at time, it may be necessary to re-evaluate specific <br /> recommendations in this report and make appropriate cha�ges. <br /> 3.1 Exploration Pits <br /> Seven exploration pits were completed by a subcontracted backhoe. All of the pits �vere <br /> excavated to approximately 13 feet below die existing surface. During the excavating, samples <br /> were obtained uf each distinct soil type in eacn pit. The samples obtained from the pits were <br /> classified in the field and representative portions placed in watertight containers. 'i'he samples <br /> were then transponcd to our laboratory for further visual classificatiun and geotechnical <br /> laboratory testing, as necessary. The pits were condnuously observed and logged by an <br /> engineering geologist from our firm. The exploration logs presented in the Appcndix are <br /> based on the tield logs, excavat;•�� rates and action, atid inspection of[hc samples secured. <br /> \ <br /> 4.0 SUBSU;FAC� CONDITIONS <br /> Subsurface conditions at the project site were inferred from dic 5eld explorations accomplished <br /> for d�is snidy, visual reconnaissance of the site, and a revie�v of applicciblc �cologic literature. <br /> As shown on the ticld logs, the exploration pits generally encountered loose to medium dense <br /> fill overlying a deposit cousisting of stiff to very stiff�laciolacustrine silt and medium dense to <br /> dense glaciolacustrine silty sand. The following section presents more detailed subsurface <br /> information organire� from the upper (youngest) to the lower (oldest) material and sediment <br /> types. <br /> 4.1 Strati�raphv <br /> Fill <br /> Fill soils were encountered in a(I seven cxploration pits excavated at the site. The fill was <br /> between 6 to 10 fcet dcep. Generally, fill in the north half of the site was a medium dense silty <br /> sand wiQi litde gravcl and trace amounts of cobbles and organics. This fill is interpreted to bc <br /> derived from till soils. The fill encountered in d�e east side of the south h:ilf of the site ,vas <br /> variable in nature and ranged From medium dense silry sand to debris luden silts and loosc <br /> C <br /> ����' Z�f .iSSOClATED FIIRTN SCIENCES, GVC. <br /> lOC.'da-Af01051Al-D:Iwplb�it-0/-N7x Page 3 �\ <br /> �../ <br />
