� Proposed Modifir,alion to the Residence of Joel 8 Kathy Larsen February 12, 2004 <br />Everett, Washington ORA Project Number: 04-065-Report 1 <br />� <br />� Laboratory analysis included visual classification of all samples and determination of <br />natural moisture content and grain size distribution of selected soil samples. The field <br />and laboratory data were then evaluatad by the geotechnical engineer relative to the <br />� proposed construction. The engineering recommendations and advice presented in this <br />report have been made in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical-engineering <br />� practices in the area. <br />4. SITE CHARACTERIZA'i ION <br />The information presented in this section was gathered by ORA personnel for <br />geotechnical engineering purposes only. This site characterization was not intended to <br />address the presence or likelihood of contamination on or around the site. Specialized <br />methods and procedures, avhich were not a part of this scope of services, are required <br />for an adequate enviroi�mental site assessment. <br />4.1 Surface <br />I The ground surface slopes down from approximate elevation 505 feet along the east <br />I side of the property to approximate elevation 499 along the west side of the property. <br />The area surrounding the residence had been covered in lawn grasses; however, at the <br />time of our site visits, there were several stockpiles of excavated soils on the ground <br />Isurface. <br />� At the time of this exploration, virtually all of the demolition beyond the main residence <br />was completed. The main residence had been raised and was resting on timber <br />Icribbing that was supported on the native soils. The crib�ing extended through holes <br />that were broken out of the existing concrete floor slab in the basement. Several holes <br />� had been punched through the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. <br />Standing water was present in each of the penetrations just below the bottom of the floor <br />slab. <br />IOtto Rosenau & Associates, Inc. <br />Page 3 of 13 <br />�7 <br />
