� �, <br />2. �ITE DESCRIPTICN <br />The site is located on the sauth side of Silver Lake Road between 15th Drive <br />S.E. and 19th Avenue S.E., (SR-527) in Snohomish County, Washington. The <br />property is bounded on the south by an undeveloped woaded lot. Residential <br />homes presently occupy the properties on the eastern and western sides of the <br />site. <br />The site is flat and appears to have been filled in the recent past with on <br />the order of five to six feet of silty sand and gravel. The surface of the <br />site was apparently quit�+ marshy and poorly drained before filling. A small <br />creek which provides an outlet for Silver Lake, drains through a broad swale <br />on the east side of the site after it crosses br:neath Silver Lake Road in a <br />i culvert. <br />3. FIELD EXPLORATION <br />The subsurface conditions were explored at the site on October 14, 1981 by <br />excavating a series of nine test pits to a mar.imum depth of 12.5 feet. The <br />approximate locations of the test pits are oresented on the Site Plan, <br />Figure 2. Logs of the test pits are presen�ed in the Appendix to this report. <br />The test plts were located in the field by pacing from existing site features. <br />Test pit elevations were interpolated from the contours shown on the site plan <br />provide� to us by The Axelrod Company. The locations and elevations should <br />only be considered approximate. <br />The test pits were excavated with a rubber tired backhoe under subcontract to <br />a local excavating contractor. Disturbed but representative uulk samples of <br />the so'•ls encountered in the test pits were retrieved. The representative <br />soil samples were classified in accordance with the Unified Soil <br />Classification System. <br />The test pits were excavated under the direction of a staff engineer from our <br />firm, who examined and classified the soils encountered, obtained <br />representative samples, and recorded the pertinent information including soil <br />sample depths, stratigraphy, soil engineering characteristics, and groundwater <br />occurrence. <br />All samples were sealed to prevent moisture loss and returned to our <br />laboratory for further examination. The depths listed for boundaries between <br />soil types are approximate; actual transitions may be eithe�� more gradual or <br />more severe. The soil and groundwater conditions are those recorded for the <br />dates indicated and may not necessarily represent those of other times or <br />locations. <br />Golder Assoclates <br />
