Silver Lake Elementary School Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, <br />Building Additions, Service Drive, and Water Line Installation and Geoiechnical Engineering Report <br />Everett Washington Protect and Sire Conditions <br />1. PROJECT AND SITE CONDITIONS <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />This report presents the results of our subsurface exploration, geologic hazard, and <br />geotechnical engineering study for the proposed improvements at the Silver Lake Elementary <br />School in Everett, Washington. Recommendations in this report are based on review of a <br />proposed site sketch by Hutteball & Oremus Architecture, dated August 3, 2006. We also <br />reviewed our report titled "Subsurface Exploration and Geotechnical Engineering Report, <br />Silver Lake Elementary School Pavement Improvements," dated January 22, 2003. The site is <br />the existing Silver Lake Elementary School campus located at 12815 Bothell -Everett Highway <br />in Everett, Washington, as shown on Figure 1. The approximate locations of the explorations <br />accomplished for this study are presented on the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 2. Boring <br />logs from EB-1 through EB-4 from our January 2003 report have been included in this report <br />and on the site plan. The new explorations are located within the proposed improvement areas <br />primarily north and east of the existing school buildings. If the proposed development plans <br />should change, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report should be <br />reviewed and modified, or verified, as necessary. <br />1.1 Purpose and Scope <br />The purpose of this study was to provide subsurface data to be utilized in the design and <br />development of the above -referenced project. Our study included a review of available <br />geologic and engineering literature, advancement of exploration borings, and performing <br />geclogic studies to assess the type, thickness, distribution, and physical properties of the <br />subsurface sediments and ground water conditions. Engineering studies were also conducted <br />to determine suitable foundation types and bearing pressures for the new building additions, <br />retaining wall design earth pressures, utility backfill and pavement design recommendations, <br />and erosion control and drainage considerations. This report summarizes our current <br />fieldwork and offers development recommendations based on our present understanding of the <br />project. <br />1.2 Authorization <br />Verbal authorization to proceed with this study was granted by Mr. Hal Beumel of the Everett <br />Public School District No. 2 (Everett Public Schools). Our study was accomplished in general <br />accordance with our scope of work letter dated October 3, 2006. This report has been <br />prepared for the exclusive use of Everett Public Schools and their agents for specific <br />application to this project. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget, our services <br />have been performed in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering and <br />Novennher 8, 2006 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. <br />SGUIld • KE0259902.
