PROPOSED LIBERTY HALL,EVEREIT COMMUNITY COLLEGE_ Everett,Washington <br /> SITE CONDITIONS <br /> Surface Conditions <br /> The proposed building footprint is situated in the existing Triangle parking lot located west of <br /> Broadway and south of the Student Health and Fitness Center, and extends west across the north <br /> end of the existing Royal Motor Inn. The existing parking lot slopes down from Elevation 92 feet on <br /> the south side to Elevation 79 feet on the north side. The overall grade change within the <br /> proposed building footprint is about 10 feet from approximately Elevation 91 to 81 feet. The <br /> parking lot has several landscape islands and is bordered by Broadway on the east, the Student <br /> Health and Fitness Center currently under construction to the north,and the Royal Motor Inn to the <br /> west. The Royal Motor Inn is a two-story structure. We understand the motel and parking lot will <br /> be demolished as part of the project. <br /> Past Site Activities <br /> We understand that a portion of the site was occupied by a former gas station with underground <br /> fuel storage tanks (USTs). We also understand that the documented USTs were removed and that <br /> phase II environmental remediation work is currently being performed by others at the site. The <br /> approximate location of the environmental remediation work and removed USTs are shown on the <br /> Site Plan,Figure 2;however,the environmental documents for the site should be reviewed. <br /> The site was recently developed as the Triangle parking lot as part of the Undergraduate Education <br /> Center project (Gray Wolf. Hall). During construction of the parking lot, several areas were <br /> overexcavated to remove soft subgrade soils and organic debris and were backfilled with structural <br /> fill. The approximate locations and depths of the overexcavated areas are shown on Figure 2. <br /> Site Geology <br /> Geologic information for the project area (Minard, 1985) indicates that native surficial soils at the <br /> site are composed of glacial till, which are underlain by advance outwash deposits and/or <br /> Transitional Bed deposits. Glacial till commonly consists of a very compact, poorly sorted, <br /> non-stratified mixture.of clay, silt, sand, gravel and cobbles. Glacial till commonly appears gray or <br /> blue on a fresh surface,while weathered glacial till may be brown to yellow in color. Till may include <br /> large boulders. <br /> Advance outwash deposits underlie the glacial till and typically consist of a thick section of mostly <br /> clean gray, pebbly sand with gravel. However,fine-grained sand and silt are common in the lower <br /> parts of the section and sparingly in the upper part on the unit. <br /> Transitional Bed deposits generally underlie the advance outwash but directly underlie glacial till in <br /> local areas. Transitional Bed deposits consist of thick beds of stiff to hard clay,silt,and fine sand. <br /> Subsurface Conditions <br /> Soil Conditions <br /> Based on the soil conditions encountered in the borings,the building site is generally underlain by <br /> asphalt pavement overlying fill soils, softer native deposits, and native stiff to hard silt.
