i <br /> GEOTE{HINGI ENGINEERING STUDY E-12863 <br /> IMarch 17,2007 <br /> I Underlying the fill at the locations of Boring B-2, medium dense to dense silty sand (SM) was <br /> encountered to the maximum exploration depth of 21.5 feet below grade. <br /> � Underlying the fill at the hand auger locations, medium dense, poo�ly grad�d sand with siit <br /> (SP-SM) was encountered to the maximum exploration depth oi 5 feet below grade. <br /> � Geologic Map Review <br /> Based on our review of the Coastal Zone Atlas for Washington, the site is mapped as glacial <br /> � till (Qvt). The silts and sands encountered in the borings are not representative of glacial till <br /> soils. The soils encountered better represent glacial outwash or ice contact deposits. <br /> IGroundwater <br /> No groundwater seepage was encountered in the borings or hand auger holes at the time of <br /> I our exploration. However, the conlractor should be aware that groundwater levels should not <br /> be considered static. Groundwater levels fluctuate depending on the season, amount of <br /> rainfall, surface water runoff, and other factors. Generally, the groundwater level is higher in <br /> � the wetter winter months (typically October through May). <br /> Laboratory Testing <br /> � Laboratory tests were conducted on representative soil sar��ples to verify or modify the field <br /> � soil classificalion and to evaluate ihe generai physical properties and engineering <br /> characteristics of the soil encountered. Visual classifications were supplemented by grain- <br /> size analyses on representative samples. Moisture content tests were performed on all <br /> Isampies. The results of laboratory tests performed on specific samples are provided at the <br /> � appropriate sample depth on the individual boring logs or on a separate data sheet contained <br /> in Appendix B. It is important to note that these test results may not accurately represent the <br /> � overall in-situ soil conditions. Our geotechnical engineering recommendations are based on <br /> our interpretation of these test results. ECI cannot be responsible for the interpretation of <br /> these data by others. <br /> � In accordance with our Pro(essiona! Services Contract, the soil samples from this project will <br /> be discarded following completion of this report unless we are directec otherwise in writing. <br /> i <br /> t <br /> i <br /> i <br /> IEAR7H CONSl1LTNG INCORPORATED Page G <br />
