Silver Lake Elementary School Subsurface Explotntion, Geologic Hazard, <br />Building Additions, .Service Drive, and Water Line Gnstallalion and Georechnical Engineering Report <br />Everett Washington Project and Site Conditions <br />engineering geology practices in effect in this area at the time our report was prepared. No <br />other warranty. express or implied, is made. <br />2.0 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION <br />The project site consists of the existing Silver Lake Elementary School property located at <br />12815 19ih Avenue SE in Everett, Washington. We understand that current plans call for a <br />new 8,205-square-foot building addition at the east end of Building C, a smaller, 1,000-square- <br />foot building addition east of the cafeteria, a new water line loop along the south, cast, and <br />north edges of the property, and a new service drive north and east of the existing buildings. <br />Site topography within the proposed improvement areas is relatively Oat to gently sloping. <br />The area planned for the larger building addition is surfaced with asphalt concrete. The smaller <br />building addition location is surfaced with grass. The areas where the service drive and water <br />line will be constructed are surfaced with either asphalt or grass. <br />3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION <br />Our field study included advancing five new exploration borings (EB-5 through EB-10) to gain <br />subsurface information within the proposed development areas. Logs from EB-1 through EB-4 <br />from our 2003 report have also been included in this report. The various types of sediments, <br />as well as the depths where characteristics of the sediments changed, are indicated on the <br />exploration logs presented in the Appendix The depths indicated on the logs where conditions <br />changed may represent gradational variations between sediment types in the field. Our <br />explorations were approximately located in the field by measuring from known site features <br />shown on the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 2 <br />The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on the exploration <br />borings completed for this and the previous study. The number, locations, and depths of the <br />explorations were completed within site and budgetary constraints. Because of the nature of <br />exploratory work below ground, extrapolation of subsurface conditions between field <br />explorations is necessary. It should be noted that differing subsurface conditions may <br />sometimes be present due to the random nature of deposition and the alteration of topography <br />by past grading and/or filling. The nature and extent of any variations between the field <br />explorations may not become fully evident until construction. If variations are observed at that <br />time, it may be necessary to re-evaluate specific recommendations in this report and make <br />appropriate changes. <br />November 8, 2006 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. <br />SGBBd - KE01599B2 - ftecW200205991XEWP Page 2 <br />
