Geotechnical Engineering Report 6 June 27. 2008 <br />rred dleper Fueling Facility Project 92008-217 <br />Everettwn <br />For heavy truck traffic areas: 4 inches of AC over 12 inches of CRB; and <br />J% l,or general parking areas: 3 inches of AC over 9 inches of CRB. <br />The asphalt paving materials used should conform to the Washington State Department of <br />Transportation (WSDOT) specifications for Class B asphalt concrete and CRB surfacing. <br />Long-term pavement performance will depend on surface drainage. A poorly -drained <br />pavement section will be subject to premature failure as a result of surface water <br />infiltrating into the subgrade soils and reducing their supporting capability. <br />For optimum pavement performance, surface drainage gradients Of no less than two <br />percent are recommended. Also, some degree of longitudinal and transverse cracking of <br />the pavement surface should be expected over time. Regular maintenance should be <br />planned to seal cracks when they occur. <br />5.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES <br />Riley is available to provide further geotechnical consultation as the project design <br />develops. We should review the final design and specifications in order to verify that <br />earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and <br />incorporated into project design and construction. <br />Riley is also available to provide geotechnical engineering and monitoring services during <br />construction. The integrity of the earthwork and construction depends on proper site <br />preparation and procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may have to be made in the <br />field in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent. Construction <br />monitoring services are not part of this scope of work. If these services are desired, please <br />let us know and we will prepare a cost proposal. <br />6.0 LIMITATIONS <br />This report is the property of The Riley Group, Inc., Fred Meyer Stores, Inc., and their <br />designated agents and was prepared in accordance with generally accepted geolechnical <br />engineering practices. This report is intended for specific application to the Fred Meyer <br />Fueling Facility at 12906 Bothell-Iivercit Highway in Everett, Washington.
