4102 RUCKER AVE SAFEWAY FUELING STATION 2016-01-01 MF Import

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY Inform, Inc May 9, 2002 SITE CONDITIONS Surface E-8493-5 Page 2 The subject site is located immediately southwest of the intersection of 41" Street Southeast and Rucker Avenue in Everett, Washingto�� (see Plate 1, Vicinity Mapl. The site consists of an approximately 17,800 square foot, rectangular shaped lot currently occupied by an existing Union 76 gas station. The subject site is situated approximately one hundred twenty (120) feet northeast of existing Safeway Store #1484. The subject site is bordered to the west and south by asphalt-paved parking and drive areas for the existing Safeway Store, to the east by Rucker Avenue, and to the north by 41 "` Street Southeast. The existing gas station that occupies the site will be removed to make way for the new fueling station. The subject site is essentially flat with little discernible elevation change across the site. The site is covered by existing structures and pavements with no vegetation. Subsurface Subsurface conditions were evaluated by drilling two borings and reviewing subsurface data from our previous study completed for existing Safeway Store /t1484 located to the southwest. The borings for this study were drilled to a maximum depth of twenty-one and one half (21.5► feet below grade within the limits of the fueling station. None of the borings for the previous study were drilled in the vicinity of the planned fueling station. The approximate locations of the borings for this study are shown on Plate 2. Please refer to the Boring Logs, Plates A2 through A5, for a detailed description of the conditions encountered at each location explored. A description of the field exploration methods is included in Appendix A. The following section contains a generalized description of the subsurface conditions encountered. At our boring locations, we encountered two to three feet of fill. The fill consists of medium dense silty sand (Unified Soil Classification, SM) with varying amounts of gravel. The fill is similar to the underlying native soil but is' characterized by its disturbed appearance and presence of trace amounts of angular grevel. Enrlh Cnn�ullnnle, Inc.
