Subject: Renton Park Ave N Extension Geotechnical Exploration Plan Renton, Washington Dear: Marcus, HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) is planning to conduct a geotechnical soil exploration program in support of the Renton Park Ave N Extension Project in Renton, Washington. The geotechnical exploration program will take place within the Boeing right of way and Puget Sound Energy (PSE) property. Proposed borings BH-1 through BH-3 and BH-5 will be within the Boeing right of way and proposed boring BH-4 will be within PSE property. We have generated this narrative to convey the specifics of our proposed explorations within the right of way of Boeing and on PSE property to the design team, the City of Renton, Boeing and PSE for approval and permitting. The approximate locations of the proposed borings are in the attached Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 1. SCOPE OF WORK To the north and northwest of the intersection of Park Ave N and Logan Ave N, where Park Ave N turns into 757th Ave on Boeing's right of way, HWA proposes to conduct three (3) mini track - mounted machine -drilled borings designated 13H-1 through BH-3 and one (1) larger track - mounted machine -drilled boring designated BH-5 as shown on the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 1. HWA will access the locations of these borings directly from the Boeing right of way. BH-1 through BH-3 will be drilled to a depth of 20 to 30 feet depending on the soil and groundwater conditions. BH-5 will be drilled to a depth of 60 feet with the larger truck -mounted machine to drill a larger diameter boring to allow the installation of a 2-inch diameter monitoring well with a flush -mounted well monument. HWA will install a groundwater monitoring transducer and will require access to the monitoring well for up to one 21312 30' Drive SE suite 110 Bothell, WA 98021,7010 Tcl: 425.774,0106 Fax: 425.774.2714 ms,w-htvageo.com Federal & State Certified DIE / TV11VB; December 7, 2018 HWA Project No. 2017-147-21 full year to monitor seasonal groundwater fluctuations. The drilling of BH-1 and BH-2 will have no effect on traffic. The drilling of BH-3 and BH-5 will require temporary lane -closures. On PSE property, located on the opposite side of the BNSF railroad tracks from the locations of BH-I through BH-3 and BH-5, HWA proposes to conduct one (1) track -mounted Dietrich D50 machine -drilled boring, designated BH-4, as shown on Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 1. BH-4 will be drilled to a depth of 60 feet with the track -mounted drill rig. A 2-inch diameter monitoring well, with a flush -mounted well monument, will be installed at this location. HWA will install a groundwater monitoring transducer in the well and will require access to the well for up to one full year to monitor seasonal groundwater fluctuations. BH-4 will be drilled tower down due to the proximity to overhead power. The location of the boring will be accessed through the entrance to the PSE property from Lake Washington boulevard to the northeast. HWA will mark the locations of the proposed borings and submit utility locate requests to the one -call utility locate service prior to drilling. HWA has also scheduled a private utility locate service, APS, to conduct an additional utility locate in the vicinity of the proposed borings. This private utility locate is scheduled to be completed on the morning of Tuesday, December 18. This utility locate work will be completed two days before the first mobilization of the geotechnical exploration program which is scheduled with Geologic Drill on Thursday, December 20th. The second mobilization of the geotechnical exploration program will be scheduled with Holocene Drilling upon reception of the right of entry. The proposed boring locations are subject to minor location changes based on underground utilities. We expect drilling of the borings will take approximately one working day. Performing the drilling of borings BH-1 through BH-3 will require Geologic Drill's track - mounted mini drill rig and a support truck to occupy a small area during drilling. Performing the drilling of borings BH-4 and BH-5 will require Holocene's truck -mounted D50 drill rig and a support truck. While the drill rigs and the support trucks are mobilizing within the project site, spotters will be present to keep pedestrians a safe distance away. Once the drill rig is at the proposed boring locations, the work area will be coned off to provide a safe work environment for the drillers and pedestrians. PROCEDURE Borings BH-1 through BH-3 will be performed by Geologic Drill with their Mini Track Auger Drill. A picture of the drilling rig is shown in Appendix A, Figure A- l . The borings will be advanced into the ground using the hollow -stem auger drilling technique. The proposed borings will extend to depths ranging from 20 to 30 feet, depending on the soil and groundwater conditions encountered. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling will be performed in the boreholes at desired intervals. Representative portions of soil samples, obtained by SPT sampler, Exploration Work Plan 2 HWA GeoSciences Inc. December 7, 2018 HWA Project No. 201.7-147-21 will be sealed in plastic bags. These soil samples will be returned to our Bothell, Washington, laboratory for further examination and index testing. HWA assumes that approximately 2 cubic feet of soil, associated with the SPT samples, will be transported back to HWA laboratory from boring BH-4, within the PSE property. This small amount of soil will be disposed of by HWA upon completion of laboratory testing. HWA does not plan to conduct environmental testing on the samples collected. For borings BH-1 through 13H-3 and BH-5, within the Boeing property, soil cuttings will be placed in steel drums and transported off site for disposal by the drilling subcontractors. For boring BH-4 on PSE property, soil cuttings will be placed in steel drums provided by PSE and left on site for disposal by PSE. HWA expects that the soils cuttings from proposed boning BH-4 will fill no more than three 55-gallon drums. However, we request that a minimum of four 55- gallon drums be provided. The groundwater monitoring wells to be installed within the Boeing and PSE properties will remain in place throughout the design phase of the proposed project. Both wells will be decommissioned during construction of the proposed project by the contractor. If visual or other indications of contaminated soils are observed during drilling, these observations will be conveyed to PSE staff for boring BHA If evidence of contaminated soils is observed at the time of drilling borings BH-1 through BH-3 and BH-5, within Boeing property, the city will be notified, and the soil cuttings will be stored in drums at an agreed upon location until a proper disposal site can be identified. A geotechnical engineer or a geologist from HWA will log each exploration and record all pertinent information including sample depths, stratigraphy, soil engineering characteristics, and groundwater occurrence at the time of drilling. It is important to note that the ground water encountered at the time of drilling could be substantially different from the actual groundwater elevations. HOURS ANI7 DURATION of WORK We anticipate that drilling the five borings can be completed within two to three working days given the limited daylight in the winter. Each 20-30-foot boring is expected to take 2 hours of work, including set up and set down of the drilling equipment. Each 60-foot boring is expected to take 3-5 hours of work, including setup and set down of the drilling equipment and the development and installation of the groundwater monitoring well. HWA proposes to conduct all the exploration work between the hours of 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM except for BH-5 which will be drilled within the gore area of 757 Drive during the hours of 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. HWA has Exploration Work Plan 3 HWA GeoSciences Inc. December 7, 2018 HWA Project No. 2017-147-21 scheduled the work for borings BH-I through BH-3 to take place on Thursday, December 20tI, HWA will schedule the work for borings BH4 and BH-5 upon reception of the permit. SURFACE RESTORATION Upon completion of BH-1 and BH-2 the boreholes will be abandoned using a bentonite grout slurry in accordance with DOE requirements and any cuttings at the surface will be removed. The surface will be releveled and raked smooth using the native soils/gravel and vegetation preserved prior to exploration. After EH-3 reaches target depth, the borehole will be abandoned using a bentonite grout slurry in accordance with DOE requirements and any cuttings at the surface will be removed. The boreholes will be filled with bentonite grout to the base of pavement section. Any unconsolidated soil directly below the pavement section will be compacted using a hand operated slide compactor. Six inches of crushed gravel will be placed and compacted in the borehole to the base of the existing pavement. Rapid setting concrete, dyed to match existing pavement will be used to patch the affected surface. After BH-4 and BH-5 reach their target depth, groundwater monitoring wells will be developed and installed per DOE requirements. The surface restoration will include a flush mounted road grade well monument. SLUG TEST HWA proposes to conduct a groundwater slug test at the locations of the two monitoring wells, BH-4 and BH-5. The slug test will consist of quickly adding fresh water to the groundwater monitoring well, and monitoring the changes to hydraulic head continually, to determine the near -well hydraulic transmissivity. The slug test conducted at BH-5, within the gore area of the Boeing access road, will be performed during the day -time hours of 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This slug test will only require closing a small area off within the gore area with cones, no flaggers will be required. TRAFFIC PLANS: The completion of the proposed explorations BH-I, BH-2 and BH-4 will not require lane closure or traffic control. Cones will be placed around the drill rig at drilling sites to keep pedestrians a safe distance away from the work zone. Exploration Work Plan 4 HWA GeoSciences Inc. December 7, 2018 HWA Project No. 2017-147-21 The completion of the proposed explorations BH-3 and BH-5 will require a temporary lane closure and traffic control. HWA proposes to utilize WSDOT standard traffic control plan TC1 to drill proposed borings BH-3 and BH-5, as shown in Figure TC1.

( PARK AVENUE NORTH RENTON, WASHINGTON 2017-147-21 Bergman, Zach From: Hebe Bernardo <HBernardo@Rentonwa.gov> Sent: Monday, December 10, 201812:29 PM To: Bergman, Zach Subject: Park Ave N Extension - Geotechnical Exploration Work Plan - Revised Attachments: Exploration Work Plan Revision 1 12-7-18 DJH.PDF Hi Zack. Thank you forthe call this morning I've attached a revised copy of HWA's Geotechnical Exploration Work Plan foryour review. Ourgoal is to be on -site conducting the work on December 21, 2018. Pursuant to recent changes in the project scope, the new exploration plan features some notable differences with our on -site discussion with PSE representatives on 11/8, including the following: • Due to the City's new requirement to install a 24" casing for a future sanitary sewer line, the soil boring on PSE property has been relocated slightly to the west from where we had indicated, but still along the BNSF railroad right-of-way line. • In orderto tie the future sanitary sewer line into the City's existing sanitary sewer network, the proposed pipe casing will be located at a significantly deeper depth than any improvements we were previously proposing in the area. As a result, the new soil boring will also need to be deeper, drilled to a depth of 60' instead of 30'. • A deeper boring will require heavier equipment. HWA is proposing to use a track -mounted Dietrich D50 drilling machine instead of a Mini -Track Auger Drill. This is a much larger piece of equipment than we initially described to PSE, with a fully independent onboard operator and a large drilling tower. The soil boring will be drilled "tower down" in order to stay clear of the overhead power lines present at the site. • Since the boring is twice as deep, the quantity of soil HWA will need to transfer off -site for testing is effectively twice as large. The previous work plan indicated that approximately 1 cubic foot of soil would be removed from the site; the new plan increases this to two cubic feet. Similarly, HWA now requests that PSE provide a total of four (4) 55-gallon drums to collect spoils instead of two. • When the proposed pipe casing is installed, the contractor will need to excavate jacking and receiving pits on the upstream and downstream ends of the pipe, respectively. Both pits will need to be dewatered in orderto perform the jacking operation; consequently, the contractor will need information about the seasonal groundwater fluctuations in orderto estimate the dewatering rates. To this end, HWA proposed to Install a 2"- diameter groundwater monitoring well in the shaft, along with a flush -mounted well monument at the surface. PSE will need to make their heavy equipment operators aware of the well monument's location and keep it visible during working hours to safeguard it from being damaged during the course of normal facility operations. After drilling is completed and monitoring well is installed, HWA will put a ground water monitoring transducer inside the well that can record the ground water data and store it for about 6 months. HWA would only need to go to the site to download the data once or twice duringthe course of the 1-year monitoring period, and access to the site at the end of the 1-year monitoring period to remove the transducers from the wells. Each site visit to the well location will take less than 1 hour. Additionally, we will need to have 1 day (3 to 5 hours) of access to each monitoring well to run the slug test after drilling and well installation is completed. We can work with PSE to notifythem far in advance of our site visits and we'd work with them around their schedule to conduct the few site visits required to conduct the ground water monitoring and slug testing. In our last conversation on 11/8, you mentioned that it would take a couple of days to issue the permit. Is this still the case given the changes detailed above? What information/documentation is needed from our consultant/sub consultant to process the agreement? Please let me know if you have any questions.
