This report presents the results of our field exploration, selective laboratory tests, and engineering analyses. In our opinion, development of the site as planned is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. The critical geotechnical issues to be addressed are foundation support, and limiting the influence of foundation loads on the existing Burlington Northern train tunnel underlying the middle portions of the site. Temporary and permanent support of the below grade excavations, and reducing post -construction settlements are also important geotechnical considerations. Medium dense to very dense sand and silty sand soils were encountered at the boring and test pit locations. Some fill consisting of brick and concrete rubble was observed along the east -central portions of the site. Recommendations for foundation support, excavations, and site preparation are presented in the following sections of this report. We appreciate this opportunity to have been of service to you during this initial phase of project .evelopment, and we look forward to working with you in the future phases. Should you or your consultants have questions about the content of this report, or if we can be of further assistance, please ca!I. Sincerely, EARTH CONSULTANTS, INC. Robert Levinson, P.E.
