February 22,2016 <br /> Project No. T-7364 <br /> • Lateral earth pressures for wall design <br /> • Slab-on-grade,floors <br /> • Infiltration feasibility <br /> • Stormwater pond <br /> • Subsurface drainage <br /> • Utilities <br /> • Pavements <br /> It should-be noted that recommendations outlined in this report regarding drainage are associated with soil <br /> strength, design earth pressures,erosion, and stability. Design and performance issues with respect to moisture <br /> as it relates to the structure environment (i.e., humidity, mildew, mold) is beyond Terra Associates' purview. A <br /> building envelope specialist or contactor should be consulted to address these issues,as needed. <br /> 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS <br /> 3.1 Surface <br /> The site is an approximately 16.2-acre assemblage of 4 undeveloped parcels located between 80th Street SW and <br /> 75th Street SW, approximately 1,100 to 1,700 feet west of the intersection of 80th Street SW and Hardeson Road <br /> in Everett,Washington. The approximate location of the site is shown on Figure 1. <br /> Existing surface gradients generally slope down to the north at inclinations ranging between about 10 and 15 <br /> percent in the southern and central portions of the site, and between about 5 and 10 percent in the northern <br /> portion of the site. Total relief across the site is about 90 feet: <br /> A north-trending natural drainage ravine bisects the central and southern portions of the site. The ravine is about <br /> 6 to 10 feet deep with sideslope inclinations of about 20 to 40 percent. The gradient along the axis of the channel <br /> is about seven to ten percent Portions of the drainage channel are erosional incisions with near-vertical sides <br /> about two to three feet deep. We observed light flow in the channel at the time of our site visit. The primary <br /> source of the water in the channel appears to be two culverts that daylight onto the site near the southern,site <br /> margin. The grading and drainage plan indicates that the source of water in one of the culverts is stormwater <br /> runoff from 80th Street SW. <br /> We did not observe any indications of instability on the site slopes. We did not observe indications of significant <br /> erosion excepting the erosional incision in the drainage channel. Site vegetation consists primarily of deciduous <br /> trees and brush. <br /> Page No.2 <br />
