Thomas Kelly JN 95192 June 7, 1995 Page 2 based upon the proposed construction and required design criteria, the site topography and access, the subsurface conditions revealed during excavation, the scope of w�xk outlined in our proposal, and the time and budget constraints. The:est pits were excavated on May 30, 1995 with a rubber-tired backhoe. A geotechnicai engineer irom our staff observed the excavation process, logged the test pits, and obtained representative samples of the soils encountered. "Grab" samples of selected subsuriace soil:; were collected from the backhoe bucket. The Test Pit Logs are attached to this report as Fia:e 3. Both test pits encountered rPlatively clean sands. These sands were fine- to medium-grained and loose near the ground surface, bP oming medium-dense at a deptli of ' 6 to 7 feet below the ground surface. The near-surface sands contained organics a�id wood fragments. This topsoil layer varied from 1 to 3 feet in depth at the locations explored. The final logs represent our interpretations of the field logs and laboratory tests. The logs provide specific subsurface information only at the locations tested. The relative densities and moisture descriptions indicated on the test pit logs are interpretive descriptions bnsed on the conditions observed during excavation. The compaction of backfill was not fn the scope of our services. Loose soils will therefare be found fn the area of the test pits. If this presents a problem, the backfill will need to be removed and replaced with structural fill during construction. s,[Quncivr�tel No groundwater seepage was observed fn the test pits. It should be noted that groundwater levels vary seasonally with rainfall and other factors. However, due to the permeable nature of the soils,we anticipate that groundwater will not be found during construction. �ON�I.:JSIONS_A_ND_H�COMMFNDATIO�S Gsrtsl�l The site has been classified by the City of Everett as environmentally sensitive due tc the sl�pe south and west of the proposed house site. The city requires a bufter of 25 feet from the top, toe, and sides of steeper slopes. However, a provision in ;he city's ordinance allows for the moditication of the bufter zone. The modification should not adversely affect the stability of the slope. We were provided with a letter to you from the City of Everett's Planning and Community Development Department c;ated May 23, 1995. In the letter, the GfOIIII'll<'(1N3UI:1:\NIS.I�I'.
