Geotechnical Report <br /> F'roposed Student Housing: 931 Broadway Street, Everett, Washington <br /> December 8, 2015 <br /> 3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS <br /> ��.1 SITE GEOLOGY <br /> General geologic information for the project area was obtained by reviewing the <br /> Geologic Map of the Marysville Quadrangle, Snohomish County, Washington (Minard <br /> 1985). Based on our review, the project sitc is underlain by Vashon Till — Geologic Map <br /> Unit Qvt. Vashon Till consists of an unsortcd deposit (diamict) of clay, silt, sand and <br /> • �;ravel that has been glacially transported and deposited. This soil has been directly <br /> deposited by a glacier and overridden by several thousand feet of glacial ice and is <br /> • typically dense to very dense. <br /> _S.2 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION <br /> Three borings (PG-1 through PG-3) were drilled at the subject site on November 23, <br /> �?015. The borings were drilled using a track-mounted drill rig operated by Boretec, Inc. <br /> subcontracted to PanGEO and were logged by a geologist with our firm. The borings <br /> �Nere drilled to a maximum depth of 16 feet below existing grade. The approximate <br /> boring locations were located in the field by measuring from property corners and site <br /> ieatures and are shown on Figure 2, Site and Exploration Plan. <br /> Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed at 2%z- to 5-foot depth intervals using a <br /> standard, 2-inch diameter split-spoon sampler. The sampler was advanced with a 140- <br /> pound drop hammer falling a distance of 30 inches for each strike, in general accordance <br /> �Nith ASTM D-1586, Standard Test Method .for Penetration Test and Split BarYel <br /> .`iampling��f�Soi/s. <br /> _ The soils were logged in general accordance with ASTM D-2487 Standa��d Practrce for <br /> Classification of Soils for Errgineering Pz�rposes and the system summarized on Figure <br /> _ A-1, Terms and Symbols for Boring and Test Pit Logs. Summary boring logs are <br /> included as Figures A-2 through A-4 in Appendix A. <br /> .3.3 SOIL CONDITIONS <br /> ��'or a detailed description of the subsurface conditions encountered at each exploration <br /> location, please refer to our boring logs provided in Appendix A. The stratigraphic <br /> contacts indicated on the boring logs represent the approximate depth to boundaries <br /> between soil units. Actual transitions between soil units may be more gradual or occur at <br /> IS-275 931 Qroadway,Everctt Page 3 PanGEO, IriC. <br />
