Permit#: C1709-004 Report#: 1 Attention: Paul Bustard Location: 5034 Ocean Avenue,Everett,WA 98203 Distribution: Bustard Custom Construction Inc. General Contractor: Bustard Custom Construction Inc. Earthwork Contractor: Triple E/Tim Eddy Municipality: City of Everett Engineer/Architect: West Coast Structural Engineers South Fork Geosciences, PLLC(Andrew L. Glandon, LEG)was onsite on February 8 and on February 12 to observe foundation subgrades for the new single-family residence being constructed. The foundation subgrades had been excavated by Triple E through the existing fill soils to the native soils prior to our arrival. The exposed soils consisted of medium dense, light brown to light brown-gray fine to medium SAND with varying amounts of gravel and silt (SP to SP-SM). We interpret these soils to be native Vashon advance outwash sediments. The exposed soils appeared to be firm and unyielding. Using a %-inch diameter steel soil probe,the exposed sediments were penetrated approximately 6 to 18 inches. These soils stiffened with depth and these deeper probe depths are typical of non-cohesive sands. There was an area near the northeast corner of the building pad that had been excavated below the current grade and filled with 2-to 4-inch quarry spalls. The quarry spalls had been bucket tamped into place and this area is suitable for foundation support as well. Based on our field performance observations and the geologic nature of the soils, it is our opinion that the exposed soils are suitable for support at an allowable bearing capacity of 2,000 pounds per square foot. As a standards of practice, any loose soil or muck should be removed from formed areas prior to concrete placement and concrete should not be placed on frozen soil subgrades. South Fork Geosciences will return at the request of Bustard Custom Construction, Inc.
