II ENUIRONMENTAL IMPACTS (1) Earth. The initial soils �nvestigation indicates that the basic soils struciure is 9lacial till covered with varying shallow depths of organic materials. As a part of the development of this site, the organic materials will be removed and the underlying glacial till will be fiattened to form the base for construction of the buildings and parking areas. Some of the organic materials will be reused in the site' s landscaped areas. It is anticipated that the site clearing and preparation for construction will begin in the spring of 1984, after the wettest winter months. This construction schedule should reduce the potential for serious soil erosion and expedite the actual work to be done. Temporary soil erosion contrel techniques to be used during ttie site preparation and develepmer.t �ill meet or exceed the stardards established by Snohomish County and the City of Everett. Storm drainage from the preject site flows east across Y,asch Park to a marsh on the eastern boundary of the park. (?) Air. The exhaust emissions from transit buses operating on the site will cause some deterioration of "the ambient air quality.
