Geotechnical Engineering • Environmental Engineering Construction Testing and Inspection Field Report NO.: 09222016DFR922022AL DATE: 9/2/2022 Set Count: CONTRACTOR: Owner PROJECT #: 09222016 PERMIT #: PROJECT: 545 Main Street INSPECTOR: Amelia Leong LOCATION: 545 Main Street, Edmonds JURISDICTION: City of Edmonds KA P.M.: JM WEATHER: Sun TEMP: 75' F A Krazan geotechnical representative visited the project site today for a footing subgrade evaluation. Upon arrival on site, we met with the contractor to discuss project specifications. Footing Subgrade Evaluation Project Description: The project includes construction of a new deck cover, along with associated posts and footings. The "Foundations: Spread Footings" section on Page S 1.1 of the structural plans prepared by CG Engineering specifies that design has been performed assuming a maximum bearing capacity of 2,000 psf. Project Geology: We reviewed the "Geologic Map of the Edmonds East and Part of the Edmonds West Quadrangles, Washington" (Minard, 1983). The site area is mapped along the border of Transitional Beds (Fraser Glaciation to Pre -Fraser Glaciation) and Whidbey Formation (Pre -Fraser Glaciation). Transitional beds consist of clay, silt, and fine to very fine sand. Whidbey Formation typically consists of compact medium -to -coarse -grained sand. Building Pad Subgrade Evaluation: Upon arrival today, the contractor had excavated to approximately 4 feet below current surface grade for eight (8) isolated post footings and placed sonotube forms. At the time of our site visit, the sonotubes and associated reinforcing steel had been placed in the excavations; as such, our exploration had limited access and visibility to/of the exposed soils at the bottom of the excavations. We observed the exposed subgrade in the building excavations to consist of light brown medium -to - coarse -grained sand with gravel and trace silt. The exposed material was interpreted to be native soils. No groundwater seepage was observed in the excavations. We evaluated the exposed subgrade using a 1/2-in diameter steel T-probe rod. The exposed subgrade probed approximately 3 inches to 6 inches under moderate pressure, indicating medium dense conditions.

Geotechnical Engineering • Environmental Engineering Construction Testing and Inspection Conclusion: Field Report NO.: 09222016DFR922022AL In our opinion, the exposed subgrade should provide adequate support for the assumed 2,000 psf foundation loads. Reviewed By: ASTM Test #: Asset Numbers : To the best of my knowledge, the above WAS performed in accordance with the approved plans, specifications and regulatory requirements.
