Subject: GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
Edmonds View Property., Phase I
Meadowdale Beach Road
Edmonds, Washington
Gentlemen:
This report presents the results of our subsurface investigation con-
ducted at the Edmonds View Property, a planned residential development.
The site is located near 172nd Street and Meadowdale Beach Road in
Edmonds, Washington. The site encompasses approximately 12.5 acres. It
is our understanding that project plans are to subdivide the property
into residential lots, and construct roadways and associated utilities.
Present plans call for the site to be developed in two phases. Phase I
would consist of development of the southern approximate 5 acres and
Phase II the northern 7.5 acres. At the present time, preliminary lay-
outs for both Phase I and II areas have been provided. This layout
dated January 25, 1981 consists of 12 building areas in the Phase 1 area
and 16 building areas in the Ph ase II area. In general, the building
areas are clustered on the higher elevations. It is understood that the
remainder of the area will be left in a natural state. Access into the
Phase I area is presently planned via 172nd Street, while the access to
the Phase II area would be via Meadowdale Beach Road.

It is our understanding that the proposed structures will be wood -frame
and be both one and two stories in height. In general, the foundations
reportedly will consist of poles based in drilled holes on the downhill
side and some conventional wall footings for the uphill areas.
The purpose of this study was to obtain subsurface information and
develop geotechnical design and construction recommendations. The scope.
of services for this investigation was outlined in our letter of confir-
mation dated January 20, 1981. Verbal authorization was given by Mr.
Robert McClendon on January 13, 1981. The primary effort during this
investigation has been directed toward the Phase ' I area; however, a
limited overview of the entire development has been completed. Our
scope of services in the Phase I area consisted,& the following:
1. excavation of approximately�18 hand -excavated test pits,
2. continuous logging of subsurface conditions,
3. obtaining. samples of representative soils encountered in
the test pits,
visual classification of the soils encountered,
5.. engineering evaluation of field exploration results,
6. preparation of a geotechnical report.
A preliminary geotechnical evaluation of the site has been completed by
-our f i rm. The results of this evaluation were summarized in a letter
report dated December 29, 1980. For completeness, this report includes
the basic information and findings developed in this previous report.
Site Conditions
The Phase I area is irregular in plan, approximately 700 feet in width
in an east -west direction and approximately 700 to 900 feet in a north -
south direction. The property is characterized by moderate to moderate-
ly steep slopes. The steeper slopes are approximately 2H:IV (horizontal
to vertical). The maximum amount of relief across the site is approxi-
mately 180 feet. A maximum elievation of 380 feet occurs in the southern
oortion of the Phase I area and the minimum elevation of approximately
200 feet occurs in the extreme northwest corner of the Phase II area.

With the exception of an old logging road near the central portion of
the site, there are no roads into the site. The higher portions of the
site are covered by a moderately thick growth of second -growth evergreen
trees while the lower portions of the site are dominated by -deciduous
trees and low brush.
Geoloqv
The subject area is located on an upland surface in the Puget Lowland.
The Puget Lowland was invaded by continental glaciers during at least
four separate periods during the Pleistocene Epoch. During these
glacial and accompanying non -glacial periods, a thick sequence of soils
was deposited. It is estimated that these sQ--71p#s reach thicknesses on
the order of a thousand feet.
The oresent surface characteristics and. near -surface soils are the re-
sult of the last period of continental glaciation which occurred between
15,000 and 13,500 years ago. It is assumed that these sediments are
underlain by older glacially -related soils. .
Field Exploration
The subsurface conditions in the area of proposed development in the
Phase I area were explored by means of excavating 18 test pits on Janu-
ary 16 and 18, 1981. The test pits were excavated by hand, as the
moderately dense growth of trees and irregular terrain prohibited the
use of power -operated equipment. The depth of the test pits rarged 'in
depth from a few feet to 6.5 feet. The locations of the test pits were
concentrated in the building and roadway areas at approximate locations
shown on Drawing I. The test pits were excavated by a engineering geo-
logist from our office who maintained a continuous log of the subsurface
conditions encountered. Representative bag samples were secured for
visual examination and classification. Summary field logs are presented
at the end of this report. All soils have been cl.assified according to
the Unified Soil Classification System.

Subsurface Conditions
The near -surface soils which underlie the site were deposited during the
last period of qlaciation, the Vashon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation.
These soils (from oldest to youngest) are referred to as the Whidbey
Fomation, the Esperance Sand, and the Vashon Drift. The Vashon Drift
is composed of three separate units: advance stratified drift, glacial
till, and recessional stratified drift. It appears that the only drift
unit present at the site is the glacial till. Glacial till consists of
a homogeneous mixture of.silt, sand and gravel and was deposited direct-
ly beneath the glacial ice.
The subsurface conditions encountered at the te�slk pit locations consist
of a thin dark brown organic layer of forest duff which ranges up to a
few inches in thickness. This surface layer is underlain by a layer of
silty sand or sand which represents either a residual soil layer and/or
slopewash. This layer ranges in thickness between approximately one to
four feet and ranges between loose to medium dense. Underlying these
soils is either a medium to very dense silty sand or medium dense to
dense. sand. The denser silty sand unit represents glacial till and,
based on our explorations, is restricted to the upper elevations of the
site. The glacial till forms a thin cap over the underlying sand and is
estimated to be on the order of ten feet in thickness. The underlying
sand represents the Esperance Sand unit. The sand unit generally under-
lies the steeper sloping portio-ns of the site.
The sand is underlain by the oldest unit, the Whidbey Formation, which
is exposed in the lower slopes, along the extreme north property line of
the Phase I area below approximate elevation 280 feet. The Whidbey For-
mation consists of silt and clay with some interbeds of fine sand.
With the exception of the near -surface soils, all of
1 the soils which
underlie the site have been overconsolidated by glacial ice. Weatherinq
of the near -surface soils has resulted in loosening of these soils.

The soils encountered in the test pits ranged from slightly moist to dry
and no aroundwater was encountered. The static groundwater table at the
site is anticipated to be in older granular soils which underlie the
Whidbey Fomation. However, there is a perched qroundwater table which
exists within the Esperance Sand. Because of the clean nature of the
sand, surface water infiltrates rapidly, percolating downward to the
boundary -of the Whidbey Formation. The Whidbey Formation is sufficient-
ly fined -grained so as to greatly reduce the downward percolation of the
water. The result is a general downslope movement of the water above
the sand -clay contact. Springs or areas of seepage generally occur
where this contact intersects a slope. 'The approximate locations of the
geologic boundaries are shown on Drawing 1.
No areas of instability were noted during our investigations of the
si te. On the steeper slopes there was evidence of a aeneral down -
slope creep of the near -surface soils as evidenced by the bowing of tree
trunks. Creep of these looser surface soils is -a nomal occurrence on
steeper slopes.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following conclusions and recommendations apply specifically to thp.
Phase I area. Somewhat different subsurface conditions are anticipated
in the Phase Il area and should be examined in detail.
On the basis of the information obtained durinq this investigation and
our preliminary qeotechnical evaluation, it is our opinion that the
proposed development is feasible from a geotechAcal standpoint. The
stpepness of some of the terrain will restrict development without
extensive grading.
The major portion of the proposed structures will be founded on sloping
around and excavations into the hillside are anticipated. Footinqs and
lower floor slabs should be supported on. competent, undisturbed moder-
ately dense to dense native soils where exposed in the excavations. In
areas where the lower floor will be above the existing ground surface,
0

it will be necessary to install footings well below the around surface
on a relatively steep slope. A pole -type footing would be suitable at
these locations. At locations where the ground is not steeply sloping,
it should be possible to place compacted structural fill which would be
suitable for support of spread footings and slabs-on-arade.
Our following recomm.endations are general. We have reviewed the planned.
lower floor elevations for the proposed structures relative to the
existing ground surface as shown on the topographic drawing. In our
opinion, our recommentions are adequately complete to cover foundation
design and construction of the proposed structures; however, if design
changes are made such as changing structure locations or floor eleva-
tions, it would be prudent to review our recorapWdations and their ap-
plications.
For each structure, it will be necessary to determine the required exca-
vation and fillin,3, and the foundation system.
Site Preparation
All areas within the limits of excavations or where fill is to be placed
should be stripped to remove -vegetation and debris. The vegetation and
debris should be removed from the site or placed in non -building areas.
No material should be placed on the hillside downslope from the proposed
houses. It is important that the slopes not be disturbed by the con-
struction. Surface water must be controlled so that it is not allowed
to become channelized and spill down the slope.
The preliminary plans indicate that the maximum depth of excavation will
be approximately 17 feet. Based on our explorations, the soils in the
excavations will generally be silty sands with some gravel. The upper
two to four feet of soil is loose to medium dense and grades to dense to
very dense below. We recommend that the contractor be made responsible
for the stability of temporary excavations. He is continually at the
site and can evaluate the stability of the soils as they are exposed.

Structural fill to support floor slabs or footings should not be placed
on the moderately to steeply sloping ground. Fills may be constructed
on flatter slopes provided the areas to receive the fill area benched to
provide a level surface to support the fill. A bench should be at least
six feet wide and the difference in elevation between adjacent benchs
should be two feet or less. All structural fill should be placed in
layers approximately eight inches in thickness, conditioned to a mois--
ture content suitable for compaction, and compacted to at least 95
percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density as determined by the
ASRI D1557 compaction test. Fill slopes should be inclined at 2.5H:lV
(horizontal to vertical) or less.
Soil for structural fill should be free from Q anic matter and debris
01
and should have a granular texture free from clay lumps. There are
on -site soils that are suitable and we recommend that soils containing a
minimum of silt or clay be utilized as they will be easier to compact
and less sensitive to moisture content.
Foundation Support
The proposed structures may be supported on conventional shallow spread
footings or a combination of spread footings and pole -type foundations.
We recommend that the foundation system be designed so that all hori-
zontal forces, such a's those due *to earthquakes, are resisted by the
shallow spread footing portion of the foundation system.
Shallow footings founded on undisturbed medium dense to dense soils may
be designed for an allowable net bearing pressure of 3,000 psf (pounds
per square foot) Suitable bearing soils were observed at shallow
depths across the site in our explorations, generally two to four feet
below the existing ground surface. Wal I footings should have a minimum
width of 16 inches and individual column footings should be a minimum of
18 inches wide. All footings should be founded at least 18 inches below
the lowest adjacent grade.

A value of 300 pounds per square foot may be used for the allowable
lateral soil bearing pressure (S1). The diameter of the pole (bl)
may be increased to the effective diameter of the hole provided the
annulus is backfilled with low -shrink concrete.
Shallow footings can resist horizontal forces through the horizontal
passive pressure of backfill adjacent to the footing and by friction
across the base of the foundation. Horizontal passive pressure may be
calculated using an equivalent fluid weight (triangular distribution) of,
250 pcf (pounds per cubic foot). This assumes the backfill is drained
and compacted to at least 95 percent of the AST14 D1557 maximum dry
density. Resistance to sliding may be calculated using a base friction
factor of 0.45. The. above values do not include a safety factor. A
minimum safety factor of 1.5 should be used to design for resistance to
sliding and overturning.
Basement Walls
All subsurface walls should be backfilled with a free -draining granular
soil and foundation subdrains installed behind the walls to minimize the
potential for hydrostatic pressure to develop. The walls must be sup-
ported on dense undisturbed soil.

our recommended criteria for footings founded in areas of sloping ground
are that the outside edge of the footing on the downhill side should be
at least eight feet back from the face of the slope measured in a hori-
zontal direction.
Footings founded on structural fill may be designed for an allowable net
bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. Minimum size and depth of embedment are
the same as recommended above. The outside edge of the footings founded
on fill should be at least five feet back from the face of the fill
measured in a horizontal direction.
Pole -type footinqs may be utilized on sloping ground where it is not
feasible to construct shallow footings. A pol ?,*footing would be con-
structed by 'dri 11 i ng a hol e wi th a power auger � i nserti ng the pol e and
then backfilling the annulus area. We recommend the annulus. area be
backfilled with low -shrink Portland cement concrete. Our recommended
minimum depth of pole embedment below the ground surface is six feet.
The base of the poles should have a minimum diameter of eight inches.
our recommended allowable bearing capacity for a pole embedded six feet
is 18,000 psf. For a pole embedded eight feet, the allowable bearing
capacity may be increased to 24,000 psf. The effective area of the
foundation is equal to that of the base of the pole. The effective area
of the foundation could be increased to the area at the bottom of the
hole if a concrete footing was poured in the bottom of the hole to sup-
port the pole. Such a concrete footing should be at least 12 inches
thick.
The foundation systems for the proposed structures will generally con-
sist of a combination of shallow footings and pole -type footings. We
recommend that the horizontal loads be resisted by the shallow footings.
However, if pole -type footings are required to resist horizontal loads,
it may be necessary to deepen the footings to greater than the minimum
six-foot embedment depth. The following formula may be used to deter -
nine embedment depth to resist horizontal loads:

The on -site sandy soils described as the Esperance Sand unit would gen-
erally be suitable for backfill behind walls. The silty glacial till
soils present in the southern portions of the site should not be used
for backfill behind walls.
Backfill behind walls should be placed in layers not exceeding eight
inches loose thickness and compacted with relatively light vibratory
equipment to at least 90 percent of its maximum ASMT D1557 dry density.
An 18-inch thick layer of impermeable soil should be placed on the
ground surface and compacted to prevent surface water from seeping down-
ward into the granular backfill. The ground surface should be sloped to
drain away from the wall.
Four -inch diameter perforated footing drains must be placed behind base-
ment walls. The invert of footing drains should be at least 12 inches
below finished interior floor grades and sloped to drain at a grade of
at least 0.5 percent. Convenient cleanouts should also be provided.
All 'Perforated footing drains should be protected by a filter of drain-
age sand and gravel. There should be at least four inches of this mate-
rial below the drains, six inches along the sides, and 12 inches above
the drains. In addition, the filter material should extend upward,
adjacent to the wall so that it is a minimum of 12 inches thick measured
perpendicular to the wall. Our recommended gradation for filter mate-
ri-al i s:

We recommend that subsurface or retaining walls up to approximately 12
feet high be designed for horizontal pressures equivalent to that of a
fluid weighing 40 pcf (triangular distribution).
Surface Water
The exterior ground surface should be sloped to drain away from the
building and surface should either be paved or covered with at least 18
inches of imperviouls soil to inhibit surface water from infiltrating
into the subdrain5.
It is our understanding that it is desirable to dispose of roof drainage
in dry wells. We anticipate that this scheme .9111 work satisfactorily
based on certain requirements. These requirements are as follows: 1)
the dry wells be located in the Esperance Sand unit, 2) the wells should
.not. be located on the very steep slopes, and 3) they should not be
located in the proximity of the basement wall perforated drains. The
use of dry wells will be somewhat restricted in the Phase II area, these
are anticipated to generally be those areas underlain by the Whidbey
Formation.
We understand th at the storm drain system, relative to the roadways,
will be designed to flow into a retention system. We recommend that the
retention system have a controlled orifice and be tight lined away from
the slopes.
Summary
This report has been prepared to aid in the evaluation and development
of this site for its intended use. The discussion of site development
is conceptual in nature and must be refined to take into account final
roadway grades, slope locations, and construction sequencing. It is
recommended that we continue our involvement with the design engineers
to assure that final site development plans and specifications are con-
sistent with the findings of our investigation.

We recommend that site preparation, foundation excavations, fill place-
ment and drainage installations be observed by personnel aualified by
training and experience to see that the work is perfomed in accordance
with these recommendations, the plans and specifications, and good engi-
neering practice.
The findings and conclusions of this report were prepared in accordance.
with generally accepted professional engineering principles and prac-
tice. We make no other warranty, either express or implied. Please do
