Geotechnical Engineering Report 2 May 25,2017 <br /> Central Everett CHC,Everett,Washington RGI Project No.2017-094 <br /> 4.0 Site Conditions <br /> 4.1 SURFACE <br /> The site is an irregular shaped parcel of and land and located at 4201 Rucker Avenue in <br /> Everett, Washington. The site is bound to the north by 42nd Street Southeast, to the east <br /> by an alley way and Hoyt Avenue, to the south by a commercial building, and to the west <br /> by Rucker Avenue. <br /> The site is occupied by a three-story clinic building in the northern portion of the site, <br /> with associated parking areas in the southern and southeastern portions of the site. An <br /> alley extends through the site, with the southeastern parking area on the other side of <br /> the alley. <br /> The site slopes generally east to southeast but is relatively flat, with less than five feet of <br /> elevation change across the site. The southeastern parking area has paved access drives <br /> that descend to Hoyt Avenue along the eastern property line, and the paved alley begins <br /> to descend to the south near the southern property line. The property is mostly paved, <br /> with decorative shrubs located in planter areas and around the building perimeter. Three <br /> large pine trees are located along the eastern property line in the southeastern parking <br /> area. <br /> 4.2 GEOLOGY <br /> • Review of the Geologic Map of The Everett 7.5—Minute Quadrangle, Snohomish County, <br /> Washington by James P. Minard, etc (1985) indicates that the soil in the project vicinity is <br /> mapped as advance outwash (Map Unit Qva), which is stratified sand and gravel <br /> deposited by meltwater streams issuing from the advancing Vashon glacier. These <br /> descriptions are generally similar to the native soils encountered in the upper 20 feet of <br /> our borings during field exploration. The silt soils encountered below 20 feet match the <br /> descriptions for the underlying transitional beds (Map Unit Qtb) which is silt and clay <br /> deposited in lakes and streams prior to and during the early stages of the last glacial <br /> advance. <br /> 4.3 Soils <br /> The site is underlain by up to 10 feet of medium dense sand with some silt and silty sand <br /> with trace gravel over dense to very dense silty sand with trace gravel and sand with <br /> some silt and very stiff to hard silt with varying amounts of sand. <br /> More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered are presented in <br /> the explorations included in Appendix A. <br /> 111 I <br /> 1 <br /> RILEYGROUP <br />
