RE: GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
SOIL MOVEMENT AT 17624 TALBOT ROAD
EDMONDS, WASHINGTON
Dear Mr. Walker:
February 14, 1997
ENGNVi:'1_._1:-1P1
This letter summarizes our observations and recommendations related to soil movement
observed on the steep, west facing bluff at 17624 Talbot Road. At the request of the City of
Edmonds, a representative of Landau Associates visited the site on February 7,1997 with City of
Edmonds' personnel and representatives of the property owner to observe site conditions and to
provide consultation to the City on the situation and potential future action.
OBSERVATIONS
The property is located along a high, west -facing bluff overlooking Puget Sound. The
property is bounded.on the west by the mainline track of the Burlington Northern -Santa Fe (NF-SF)
railroad, on the east by Talbot Road, and on the north and south by single-family residences. A
residence is located on the property within about 10 to 15 ft of the top of the bluff face. A gravel
walkway and a landscaped strip are located between the residence and the . top of the bluff face.
According to the Don Fiene of the City, an 8-inch sanitary sewer lateral connecting several homes
in the vicinity of the site parallels the top of the bluff face. At the site, the sewer line is located
between the residence and the top of the bluff face within the walkway/landscaped area.
The face of the bluff is a steep slope that extends down to the railroad right-of-way. BN-SF
has constructed a short, cantilevered soldier pile retaining wall along the toe of the slope. The
ground surface behind the waU is relatively flat for about 8 to 10 ft, then extends up to the top o . f
the slope atan average inclination estimated to be about 1H:1V (horizontal:vertical) or steeper.
Slope vegetation consisted of grasses and brush, with an isolated, topped fir located near the middle
of the slope.

Several low retaining walls are stair -stepped up the entire slope. These walls are apparently
cantilevered 'structures constructed of two to three railroad ties supported by 2-inch diameter
galvanized pipes driven vertically into the slope. Walls located in the upper portion of the slope
are in various states of failure ranging from partial to complete collapse. Those located in the lower
portion of the slope did not appear to be failing. At the top of the slope, soil within.the landscaped
area was retained by a 2-inch by 10- or 12-inch board also supported by galvanized pipe. Several
solid PVC drain pipes were observed behind the failed walls and along the upper portion of the
slope, a nd a corrugated HDPE drain pipe extending from the residence was observed to be
connected to the PVC p ipes. The function of these pipes is unclear but appears to be for channeling
water downslope.
At the time of our visit, evidence of soil movement was observed within the landscaped
area. A strip of soil near and along the top of the slope (behind the retaining board) was observed
to have settled relative to soil further back from the top of the slope. Similar, but more advanced,
erosion -related settlement.was observed adjacent to the previously mentioned HDPE drain pipe.
With the exception of the failed walls, evidence of slope failure was not observed. According to
representatives of the owner, the wall failures have been occurring gradually over the past year or
more. However, the soil movement along the top of the slope has occurred since the end of
December, 1997.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our observations and comments by the owner's representatives, it appears that
progressive failure of the downs . lope retaining structures has resulted in a loss of confinement of
soil near the top of the slope. This lack of.confinement, in combination with saturated soil
corlditions and downward movement o �
f ;nfiltra fed. water, has resulted in soil erodin- from beh;1
and beneath the fail * ed walls and the landscaped area retaining board and from along the HDPE
pipe. The observed soil movement along the top of the slope appears to be the result of the loss of
underlying supporting material due to this erosion.
* At the time of our visit, the observed soil movement did not appear to pose an immediate
threat to the residence or the sewer line. However, ongoing eastward migration of the top of the
slope should be expected as long as soil erosion along the top of the slope continues. In addition,
oversteepened areas within the slope, including those at or near the top, may fail at some point as
part of the natural process of slope equilibration.
2
The rate and magnitude of future erosion, the risk of slope failure, and possible means of
limiting erosion and slope failure, would depend on soil and groundwater conditions underlying
the site, as well as weather -related conditions. Until those conditions can be evaluated, the slo'
pe
could be protected from further erosion or infiltration of water by placing plastic sheeting or other
slope protection materials over the upper portion of the slope. In addition, water collected by the
observed pipes should be routed to beyond the base of the slope . and not allowed to discharge to
the slope. We recommend that the property owner retain a geotechnical engineering consultant to
further evaluate site soil and groundw . ater conditions and provide specific advise to the property
owner.
Long-term stabilization measures may include providing structural confinement to the
upper portion of the slope and improving surface drainage over the slope to limit saturation of
retained soil. Active measures could also include promoting the growth of deeper rooting
vegetation to protect surficial soil from erosion. The City, as well as the property owner, should be
aware that completely elin-driating erosion processes along the slope may not be practical, and that
the sewer line and the residence could ultimately be affected by those processes.
We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to the City of Edmonds. Please call if you
have any questions or if we may be of further service.

SUBJECT: Edmonds sewer line located on the Lyle
Nichols property located at 17624 Talbot Road,
running the full length on the northerly line of
the property.
This is to advise you that we have been watching and
examining our bank between our house, the sewer line and the
Burlington Northern railroad tract and we note that it has
slipped considerably and are greatly concerned.
This is to advise you that we feel the City of Edmonds should
also be concerned.
we have a video tape that was made some time ago when we had
another slide that can be used to for comparison.
My son in law, Mr. Robert zwiebel, who can be reached at 623-
3386 or 775-3861, is looking after this matter for me. I can,
however, be there in a matter of 24 hours if need be.
We would appreciate it very much to meet with your people on
the site and thoroughly evaluate and inspect this situation
for what immediate steps can be taken to prevent this
property from sliding any more, especially considering the
fact that if your sewer line slips down the bank there is
going to be one helluva problem. As I recall, we have
discussed this probability previously.
Anticipate your early replay.
you for your cooperation

intention of the Parties to address future sloughing and earth movement
problems, the OWNERS and the CITY do hereby mutually waive and
release each other and their officers, agents and employees from any
and all liability of any kind or nature relating to past earth
movement, including but not limited to the design and installation of

vegetation, if any, and the design and installation or failure to
install structures or improvements designed for earth stabilization or
any other purpose whatsoever on the lot including but not limited to

provide for the construction and installation of reasonable earth
stabilization measures. These stabilization measures are not intended
and cannot feasibly be designed to provide for permanent stabilization
of the slope but rather are intended to address limited, small scale
sloughing and earth movement. The Parties acknowledge and understand
that in the event of large scale earth subsidence or landslide, the
facilities necessary to address such problems would be unreasonably
expensive for the Parties to construct.
Therefore, the Parties agree to equally split the costs of the
design, installation and maintenance of reasonably limited earth
stabilization measures.
2.1 Construction. The facilities shall be designed and
constructed by CITY forces according to a design mutually agreed to
by both parties. The parties shall equally split the cost (materials,
labor, equipment) up to a maximum of $10,000. Should this amount be
exceeded, both parties'must mutually agree to the additional cost. The

location as possible. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a copy of a
schedule of charges for applicable City employees. The City shall
provide at owner's request time sheets supporting its costs in design
and construction.

rising therefrom, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
interpreted to indemnify or hold harmless either Party(ies) from its
sole negligence or from the intentional tortious act of either Party.
In addition, nothing therein shall be interpreted as a promise to
indemnify or hold harmless either Party from the negligent maintenance
of the CITY sanitary sewer line or the residential structures and
improvement located upon the OWNERS' property, including but not
limited to water lines, irrigation systems, swimming pools, gardening,
landscaping, and other similar facilities or the indiscriminate
destruction of vegetation. In the event that the CITY'S sanitary
sewer line and facilities or the OWNERS' residential structure and
attendant facilities should fail, causing a landslide or other damage,
loss or injury due to the negligent maintenance of a facility or other
negligent act or intential tort of eithe.r, liability shall be assigned
as the same shall be determined in accordance with Washington law.

Peter, we are most anxious to get this job completed.
According to Bobby Mills, he stated that you would use
five or six yards trucks instead of the 10 yard trucks. This I
assume has not changed. Also,,that he would put plywood down
where the trucks drove over,the edge of the driveway.
I would like to have your people if possible use your lift

have it ready to lift out.

Dear Mr. Mills:
Per your letter of 8/21/90 concerning property owned by Lyle Nichols,
Burlington Northern agreed to build Mr. Nichols a retaining wall
approximately 150 - 160' long in an area where we would not normally
build a retaining wall. There was no sign of deterioration or
movement of the toe in the area, but at the top right corner,
adjacent to Mr. Nichol's property where you had previously put up
your hand retaining wall, there were signs of animal holes, etc. We
agreed to place as much fill as the City of Edmonds dumped at that
time and you indicated that it was 555 yards. It is our understand-
ing that any problems that might arise in the future will be Mr.
Nichol's responsibility. I believe that Burlington Northern has
fulfilled all verbabl agreements made with the City of Edmonds and
Mr. Nichols.
Concerning the 200 yards of fill to be provided by Burlington
Northern, please forgive me for the misunderstanding that we would
provide this material. Even if we could, there would be no way that
we could place it with the 555 yards you provided. We placed the
maximum amount of material that we could do from track side.
I enjoyed working with you, Bobby, and in the future, if Burlington
Northern has to contact the City of Edmonds, trust we will get to
work together again.

AGREEMENT REGARDING INSTALLATION
OF EARTH STABILIZATION MEASURES
WHEREAS, the hereafter described OWNERS own residential real
estate within the City of Edmonds upon which a sanitary sewer easement
line owned.and constructed by the City of Edmonds exists within a
public utility easement;
WHEREAS, the subject tract contains a steep slope which has been
subject to sloughing and other forms of earth movement and subsidence
in the past,
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds sanitary sewer line is located
within this area of sloughing;
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to jointly provide for earth
stabilization measures which will, at a reasonable cost, provide for
some measure of earth stabilization, both Parties realizing and
stipulating that due to the inherent character of the soils and the
slope, some sloughing or earth movement is an unavoidable consequence
of the geologic nature of the slope and its soils;
WHEREAS, such sloughing and earth movement has occurred through
no fault of either Party and the Parties wish to confirm their
intention to mutually provide for earth stabilization measures by
waiving any and all claims with respect to the existing condition and
move forward to provide for a joint, reasonable resolution of minor
earth sloughing problems; NOW THEREFORE,
LYLE C. AND GLADYS A. NICHOLS (hereinafter OWNERS) and the
CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, a municipal corporation (hereinafter
CITY) enter into this agreement on the date below written:
1. MUTUAL WAIVER AND RELEASE.
In order that this agreement establish and represent the
-I-
intention of the Parties to address future sloughing and earth movement'
problems, the OWNERS and the CITY do hereby mutually waive and
release each other and their officers, agents and employees from any
and all liability of any kind or nature relating to past earth
movement, including but not limited to the design and instal.lation of
the existing sanitary sewer facilities, the design and installation of
the existing residence and its location upon the lot, removal of native
vegetation, if any, and the design and installation or failure to
install structures or improvements designed for earth stabilization or
any other purpose whatsoever on the lot including but not limited to
irrigation and drainage lines. In order to further this waiver, each
Party hereby promises to indemnify and hold harmless the other.and its
officers, agents and employees from any claim or loss of any kind or
nature arising from or out of the claims of either Party(ies) against
the other for any and all loss or damage whatsoever arising from or out
of the location, design or construction of the sanitary sewer
facilities, earth stabilization measures or the failure to install
same, any residential structure or other attendant facility upon the -
lot including failure to design or install any structure which arose or
occurred prior to the date of this release.
The aforementioned promises to hold harmless and indemnify and to
release shall not be interpreted and shall not extend to the
failure of either Party(ies) to properly maintain any existing facility
or, except as provided below in paragraph 3, extend to the design,
construction or maintenance of any new facility upon the structure.
2. CONSTRUCTION OF EARTH STABILIZATION MEASURES.
The CITY and the OWNERS agree that they shall mutually
-2-
provide for the construction and installation of reasonable earth
stabilization measures. These stabilization measures are not intended
and cannot feasibly be designed to provide for permanent stabilization
of the slope but rather are intended to address limited, small scale
sloughing and earth movement. The Parties acknowledge and understand
that in the event of large scale earth subsidence or landslide, the
facilities necessary to address such problems would be unreasonably
expensive for the Parties to construct.
Therefore, the Parties agree to equally split the costs of the
design, installation and maintenance of reasonably limited earth
stabilization measures.
2.1 Construction. The facilities shall be designed and
constructed by CITY forces according to a design mutually agreed to
by both parties. The parties shall equally split the cost (materials,
labor, equipment) up to a maximum of $10,000. Should this amount be
exceeded, both parties must mutually agree to the additional cost. The
existing westerly fence shall be reinstalled as close to the present
location as possible. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a copy of a

Dear Mr. Haug:
When I talked to you on 5/29/90,regarding the referenced
property located at 17624 Talbot Road, Edmonds, Wa. You
stated that you would have your man who is in charge of this
section of track contact us, after he has had an opportunity
to inspect the location. I wish to report that this has been
almost two weeks ago and we still have not heard from him,
or, has there been any messages left on our telephones.
I advised you at our previous meeting some 12 months ago
that the city of Edmonds and we are going ahead jointly
and will try to shore up the bank.with treated 3" planks
and 311 steel pipes that will be driven in the ground some 41
to'61. This has now been completed.
When I talked to you on 5/29/90, 1 suggested that afterall
Burlington Northern is benifitting also from the pre-
cautionary steps that the City of Edmonds and us have
taken td stop this slipping of the bank, and would it be
asking too'much for Burlington Northern to put in a couple
of DEADMAN BRACES to brace up our shoring? I have attempted
to roughly sketch what we are suggesting. BN has the equip-
ment to, place a couple of -braces in place we would think
very handely. The city and us feel that here is a good
example where a little effort and help from Burlington
Northern will save us a great deal of trouble, later on
down the road.
We ea * rnestly solicit Burlington Northern"s cooperation U)
on this problem.
Anticipating you reply. M

AGREEMENT REGARDING INSTALLATION
OF EARTH STABILIZATION MEASURES
WHEREAS, the hereafter described OWNERS -own residential real
estate within the City of Edmonds upon which a sanitary sewer easement
line owned -and constructed by the City of Edmonds exists within a
public utility easement;
WHEREAS, the subject tract contains a steep slope which has been
subject to sloughing and other forms of earth movement and subsidence
in the past,
WHEREAS, the City of Edmonds sanitary sewer line is located
within this area of sloughing;
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to jointly provide for earth
stabilization measures which will, at a reasonable cost, provide for
some measure of earth stabilization, both Parties realizing and
stipulating that due to the inherent character of the soils and the
slope, some sloughing or earth movement is an unavoidable consequence
of the geologic nature of the slope and its soils;
WHEREAS, such sloughing and earth movement has occurred through
no fault of either Party and the Parties wish to confirm their
intention to mutually provide for earth stabilization measures by
waiving any and all claims with respect to the existing condition and
move forward to provide for a joint, reasonable resolution of minor
earth sloughing problems; NOW THEREFORE,
LYLE C. AND GLADYS A. NICHOLS (hereinafter OWNERS) and the
CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, a municipal corporation (hereinafter
CITY) enter into this agreement on the date below written:
1. MUTUAL WAIVER AND RELEASE.
In order that this agreement establish and represent the I
-I-
intention of the Parties to address future sloughing and earth movement
problems, the OWNERS and the CITY do hereby mutually waive and
release each other and their officers, agents and employees from any
and all liability of any kind or nature relating to past earth
movement, including but not limited to the design and installation of
the existing sanitary sewer facilities, the design and installation of
the existing residence and its location upon the lot, removal of native
,vegetation, if any, and the design and installation or failure to
install structures or improvements designed for earth stabilization or
any other purpose whatsoever on the lot including but not limited to
irrigation and drainage lines. In order to further this waiver, each
Party hereby promises to indemnify and hold harmless the other and its
officers, agents and employees from any claim or loss of any kind or
nature arising from or out of the claims of either Party(ies) against
the other for any and all loss or damage whatsoever arising from or out
of the location, design or construction of the sanitary sewer
facilities, earth stabilization measures or the failure to install
same, any residential structure or other attendant facility upon the
lot including failure to design or install any structure which arose or
occurred prior to the date of this release.
The aforementioned promises to hold harmless and indemnify and to
release shall not be interpreted and shall not extend to the
failure of either Party(ies) to properly maintain any existing facility
or, except as provided below in paragraph 3, extend to the design,
construction or maintenance of any new facility upon the structure.
2. CONSTRUCTION OF EARTH STABILIZATION MEASURES.
The CITY and the OWNERS agree that they shall mutually
-2-
provide for the construction and installation of reasonable earth
stabilization measures. These stabilization measures are not intended
and cannot feasibly be designed to provide for permanent stabilization
of the slope but rather are intended to address limited, small scale
sloughing and earth movement. The Parties acknowledge and understand
that in the event of large scale earth subsidence or landslide, the
facilities necessary to address such problems would be unreasonably
expensive for the Parties to construct.
Therefore, the Parties agree to equally split the costs of the
design, installation and maintenance of reasonably limited'earth
stabilization measures.
2.1 Construction. The facilities shall be designed and
constructed by CITY forces according to a -design mutually agreed to
by both parties. The parties shall equally split the cost (materials,
labor, equipment) up to a maximum of $10,000. Should this amount be
exceeded, both parties must mutually agree to the additional cost. The
existing westerly fence shall be reinstalled as close to the present
location as possible. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a copy of a
schedule of charges for applicable City employees. The City shall
provide at owner's request time sheets supporting its costs in design
and construction.
3. INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS.
The CITY promises to indemnify and hold harmless the
OWNERS and the OWNERS promise to indemnify and hold harmless the
CITY, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims
whatsoever relating to the design, installation and maintenance of the
earth stabilization facilities and any loss of any kind or nature
-3-
rising therefrom, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
interpreted to indemnify or hold harmless either Party(ies) from its
sole negligence or from the intentional tortious act of either Party.
In addition, nothing therein shall be interpreted as a promise to
indemnify or hold harmless either Party from the negligent maintenance
of the CITY sanitary sewer line or the residential structures and
improvement located upon the OWNERS' property, including but not
limited to water lines, irrigation systems, swimming pools, gardening,
landscaping, and other similar facilities or the indiscriminate
destruction of vegetation. In the event that the CITY'S sanitary
sewer line and facilities or the OWNERS' residential structure and
attendant facilities should fail, causing a landslide or other damage,
loss or injury due to the negligent maintenance of a facility or other
negligent act or intential tort of either, liability shall be assigned
as the same shall be determined in accordance with Washington law.
4. EASEMENT.
The OWNERS hereby grant to the CITY a temporary
construction easement for the purposes of entering onto the subject
site, legally described in the attached Exhibit B in order to construct
and maintain earth stabilization facilities as determined in accordance
with paragraph 2, along with such reasonable right of entry, the right
to pile, stack and store dirt and other materials and any other act
necessary to construct and reasonably maintain the earth stabilization,
facilities. The temporary construction easement for earth
stabilization measures is described on the attached Exhibit C. The
temporary easement is granted solely to the CITY for the earth
stabilization measures. The temporary construction easement expires
upon completion of the work.

HISTORY AND SUMMARY STATEMENT:
More than ten years ago the City installed a sanitary sewer line along
the western boundary of the property owned by Mr. Lyle Nichols at the

evenly share the costs with the City. More importantly, he agreesto
waive any legal actions in regard to past City actions related to its
sewer line.
The Community Services Committee reviewed this issue in August and
recommends the adoption of the —staff recommendations.
The funds would be from the Combined Utility Fund.

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR JOINT USE OF SANITARY SEWERAGE FACILITIES
BETWEEN CITY OF EDMONDS AND CITY OF LYNNWOOD
Community Services Director Peter Hahn noted that this subject was first brought to the Council's
,0_",��attention in 1987 and again in early 1988. He said the Council supported the swap concept, and
the Lynnwood Pub lic Works Director also agreed with the concept. He said, however, the matter
should be formalized in a binding legal agreement.
Mr. Hahn said a formal agreement outlines the swap concept clearly and ties it to the present
agreement. He said there are not costs associated with the agreement, and it is a reciprocal
swap of capacity.
Mr. Hahn said Staff recommends that the Council approve the agreement.

The City Engineer and I visited your area to look at the bank
conditions you requested. You requested the City to place some type olf
retaining wall along this area, similar to the section we did last
year. After, looking at the bank, I feel our sewer line is in no danger -
at this time.
7he vegetation is growing welt, which is ),�he important f8ctor. r h i
will"help keep the bank slippage to a miniimum, if not stop it. You may

After your phone call to me I thought it wouldn't hurt to clarify what
we mean by "improvements." After all, you and Bobby Mills talked about
a number' of possible items.
What I am committing the City to doing is the retaining around the area
which has sloughed. This means installation of pipes and timbers which
will be used to terrace the slope. I am not at this time approving any
fence straightening, for reas.ons which are covered in my June 2 letter
to you.
As far as the timing of the work, I requested that it be done before
you leave on June 18, but this is not possible. By now Archie
Brena, Sewer and Water Supervisor, should have called you to explain
that a major water line project needs to be done immediately (it's
related to a major paving project which will be constructed shortly).
I trust that you and,he will schedule a time which is mutually
acceptable.
If I don't tal.k to you this week I hope you have a pleasant vacation.

This letter is in response to your letter of May 21, 1986, as well as
to your previous letters to the City.
The bank retention measures which Mr. Mills reviewed with you are
intended to address a localized sloughing problem. They are not in any
manner or form to be construed as acknowledging the validity of your
statements as to the nature of a larger problem nor your 'contentions as
to the responsibi-lity for causing that problem. The sewer line was
constructed over 15 years ago by hand to a,depth of approximately 3
feet and the City has not seen any evidence that the construction or
the pipe itself contributed to the sliding, nor to support your
allegation that this action was responsible for the conditions that
were called to our attention in late 1985. You.have referred in
several letters to the opinion of your engineers, but we have not seen
any analysis which would, place the responsibility for your "problem"
entirely or primarily on the City. Sloughing and s.11p*page are not.
unusual conditions for houses that are constructed near steep banks :or
bluffs. If you have evidence that the original city project treated a
problem during construction or had a delayed effect on the bank, we
would like to see it.
We are concerned about the City -sewer. I believe you are concerned
about impacts of slippage on your -house. Without a sound engineering
analysi-s staff and I cannot agree with your contention that the City
should construct and pay for a major, expensive retaining facility for
its pipe, when in fact this facility would support your property and
not just the sewer pipe. In our conversations you have opposed a cost
allocation formula based on the relative values of the assets protected
by a major retaining structure. I respect your opinion, and I
understand your motivation, but Department staff and I cannot, in good
conscience commit significant public funds to a pr . oJect.which at this
point appears to have predominant private benefits.

Dear Mr. Hahn:
Today I met with Mr. Bobby Mills, and went over the drawiAg
showing the "Bank Rentetion" for 17624 Talbot Road and want
to state that while this does not begin to accomplish the
more permanent shoring up that I had in mind, it is at
least a start.
I also expected to see you address that part of the bank
di-rectly in frontof the patio and the rebetting of the
fence posts and the strightening of the fence. When I
went over these two items with -Mr. Mills today, he advised
that he was only instructed to work on the area in front
of the bedroom. We and our Engineers feel the entire bank
has slipped, the fence bears this out.
We sincerely feel what you are proposing is at best a
temporary approach to the problem, and we are more than
willing to go along with your recommendation. What's more,
we sincerely hope it works out. However, we do not feel
that we will release the City Of Edmonds of their responsi-
bility in this matter, at least until we see how your
suggestions work out.

during the week of April 15th. To date, nothing has happened.
I also want to go on record in stating that the entire bank
along the front of our property shows slippage, and we do not
feel that we can wait any longer. Something has got to be done
immediately to stop the erosion the length of the entire property.
I also mentioned previously that.we do not want to get into liti-
gation over this matter, but we do feel it is the city of Edmonds'
responsibility to maintain this easement property, and particularly
since our home has been placed in jeopardy. My patio is now show-
ing small cracks. I will take it to court if necessary.
I mentioned to you previously that we had discussed this with our
engineers and also with Alpine Rockeries (this was after our engi-
neers met with your people on the site)', and they maintain the onlP1
permanent solution to the problem and the most cost effective, is
rock. Incidentally, Alpine does have a relationship with Burling-
ton Northern whereby they can bring material in by rail, and at a M.
fairly reasonable cost.
Before any work commences, we do want to be shown the improvements
the city has in mind, but -we do want to get started as quickly as
possible because time is of the essence. Enclosed is a copy of
our letter dated 9/10/85.

. Dear Mr. Adams:
Some years ago. when the City of Edmonds installed the sewer in
front of my home, located at 17624 Talbot Road, we complained
bitterly because in one spot it is only a -bout' 12 feet from the
actual -building. We felt this was not go;od.''engine4;ring and there
was no way that it would-n't disturb the bank and eventually
cause erosion.
Mr. Reid* at that time advised me that if the City of Edmonds put
the sewer in, it would certainly be their problem should this ever
happen. Over the years, we have been very careful not to disturb
any growth on the bank, and our yard has been handled on the
basis of preventive maintenance.
In discussing this matter with our own engineers, it was their
feeling that the matter now needs serious attention and that it
would be in the best interest of the City of Edmonds, as well as
our own, for us to get together and see what remedial action can
be taken.
I can b ' e reached at the above address. and/or telephone number
most of the time and would welcome hearing from you.

MEMO TO: PETER HAHN DEC. 24, 1985
FROM: JERRY HAUTH
SUBJECT: SOIL STABILITY IN TALBOT PARK
Attached to this memo are copies of a letter from Lyle C.
Nichols and a proposal from GeoEngineers for your reference.
In the letter from Mr. Nichols, he points out that the
embankment over the City's sewer in Talbot Park is slipping. I
met with Mr. Nichols at his residence on Sept. 27, 1985. The
reasons for his concerns were immediately apparent.
The Nichols have a chain link fence along their west property
line that adjoins the Burlington Northern right of way. Because
of the slippage, their fence has deflected considerably. The
sewers for the Talbot Park area were installed along the top of -
the embankment about 1970. Since then, there has been on -going
weathering and consolidation of the bank and the embankment
material. '
In the Nichols' yard the movement is easily detected by the
alignment of the fence. In the surrounding area we have not yet
seen any highly visible features that would indicate land
movement. However, it would not be unusual for there to be other
land movement in the area.
On the same day I notified Public Works of the situation. They
40 ran the television down the sewer line to see if there were any
visible breaks or distortions in -the line. The line appears to be
intact at the present time.
I suggested that a Public Works crew walk the sewer line to see
if there were any other areas with visible indications of
slipping. They did not feel qualified to evaluate the area and
suggested that I reconnoiter the area. On Oct. 14, 1985 Bobby
Mills and I walked the railroad tracks and tried to spot areas of
sliding. We saw a few areas that may have slipped or settled, but
for various reasons we could not define how serious the situation
was.
Jon Koloski visited the Nichols' residence with me on Sept. 30,
1985. He suggested some remedial measures to address the problems
at the Nichols'house. He also suggested that it would not be
unusual to see that type of movement anywhere along the face of
the bluff. Subsequent to the aforementioned inspection with
B.Mills and additional discussions with myself, Jon Koloski
submitted the attached proposal.
Because the City has a sewer line in an area of some known
earth movement, I would recomMend that the City AtLorney be given

Proposal
Geotechnical Consultation
Sanitary Sewer Alignment
Talbot Road Area
Edmonds, Washington
File No. 138-08
GeoEngine
Incorporated
Consulting Geotechnical
Engineers and Geologists
In response to your request, we are pleased to submit this proposal for
geotechnical consultation concerning two segments of existing sanitary sewer
line in the Talbot Road area of' Edmonds, Washington. The two sewer line
segments have a combined length of about 2500 feet and are located between
approximately the 17300 Block and 17600 Block along Talbot Road. The area has
been inspected in part in the field by the undersigned with Mr. Jerry Hauth of
the, City of Edmonds. Mr,. Hauth provided drawings which show the location of
the subject sewer lines.
The subject sewer Jines are located immediately adjacent to the top of a
bluff overlooking the Puget Sound. The bluff is of variable height along the
pipe alignment. Burlington Northern Railroad tracks are located at the toe of
the bluff adjacent to the shoreline of Puget Sound.
The bluff face adjacent to the sewer alignment has experienced ongoing
weathering and minor sloughing since long before the sewer lines were con-
structed. We understand that the City of Edmonds is concerned that bluff
weathering process may have encroached upon the sewer line alignment in places
and may encroach more in the future. These encroachments are manifested in
minor existing problems such as localized damage to landscaping or the displace-
ment of fences. If not corrected it is possible these problems could grow
until the sewer line or adjacent properties are affected in a more significant
fashion.

The purpose of our consultation will be to aid the City of Edmonds in
classifying existing and potential problems and in the development of potential
solutions. In our opinion, the consultation should be conducted in two
phases. The first phase would involve detailed geotechnical surveillance to
identify existing and potential problems, classification of those identified
problems to establish a level of criticality i and discussion, of those identified
problems with City . of Edmonds officials to aid in prioritizing remedial
action. The second phase would include development of specific design recom-
mendations for solution to selected specific problems. Our scope of services
for the two phases is summarized below.
PHASE I:
1. Review design plans and pipeline surveillance data p*rovided by the
City of Edmonds.
2. Perform detailed route reconnaissance including observation of the
bluff adjacent to the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks as well as
the pipeline alignment and adjacent private properties.
3. Perform hand explorations as necessary to evaluate subsurface
conditions along the pipeline route. The explorations will be
conducted at the locations of specific existing or potential -hazards
identified during the route reconnaissance.
4. Perform preliminary engineering analyses as necessary to establish
the level of criticality and the priority for remedial action.
5. Prepare a for-mal report which includes a discription of the problem
classifications, a map showing the location of identified. existing
and potential hazards, and the supporting field, and analytical data.
6. Two to three meetings with City of Edmonds officials including one
meeting in the field to describe our observations and recommendations,
and one or two additional meetings to prioritize the development of
remedial procedures.
PHASE II:
1. Perform additional explorations as determined necessary to better
perform specific si-te evaluations. The exploration program would be
discussed with the City,of Edmonds officials and would be undertaken
in accordance with a budget and schedule approved by those officials.
Possible laboratory testing would be required at this time.
2. Develop recommendations for specific remedial actions including
consideration of drainage, earthwork, support structureso or other
options.
E
City of Edmonds
December 6, 1985
Page Three
3. Aid City of Edmonds officials in evaluating the relative cost
effectiveness of option solutions.
4. Prepare drawings illustrating design concepts or provide sufficient
informati ' on to permit these drawings to be generated by City of
Edmonds staff. Where additional engineering or technical services
are required which are outside of our expertise (i.e., structural
retaining wall design) these services would be described to City of
Edmonds officials and. would be undertaken only with City of Edmonds
approval.
Our consultation will be performed by qualified geotechnical engineers
and engineering geologists and under the direct. supervision of the undersigned.
We will work from maps and design drawings of the project area to be supplied
,.by the City of Edmonds. We will also obtain recent aerial photography of the -
site by purchasing existing photographs from aerial photography contractors.
if the City of -Edmonds can provide these photographs, of course that -would be
-helpful and a cost savings. We do not expect to contract for a specific
flight to obtain the required photographs.. The location of specific features
identified in our reconnaissance and other investigation will:be based on the
maps provided and standard " tape measure" techniques. We, do not anticipate
specific engineering survey. work as a part of our consultation. We will
require:.permission to enter private property, and we expect the City to aid us
in that process or to obtain said permission for our work.
We expect the field portion of Phase I of our consultation will require
two to three weeks of intermittent effort depending on the number and complexity
of explorations required. This schedule includes one week to observe and
record existing and potential hazards and approximately two additional weeks
to discuss a subsurface exploration program'with the, City and conduct the
explorations as required. The engineering analysis and development of our
classification scheme and priority discussion will require two to three
additional weeks to complete. We will be prepared to discuss our observations
and preliminary verbal recommendations with City, of Edmonds officials within
six weeks after we are notified to proceed. We will maintain frequent contact.
with City of Edmonds officials throughout the conduct of our Phase I study
to assure coordination and expedient information transfer.
We expect that Phase II of our consultation will require four to six
additional weeks to complete if this work does not overlap Phase I. We
anticipate frequent communication with City of Edmonds officials during this
phase similar to that of Phase I for the purpose of coordination and informa-
tion transfer.
We propose to conduct the consultation described herein on a time -and -
expenses basis in accordance with the rates described in our Standard Schedule
of Charges, a copy of which is attached and is a part of this proposal. For
the scope of services outlined above, we estimate that our total fee will be
0

City of Edmonds

$10,200 for Phase 1. The cost df the Phase II services will depend somewhat
on the number and types of problems encountered in Phase I. A breakdown of
our estimated manhours and charges for each of the tasks described above in
Phase I is provided on Attachment A to this proposal. The actual cost" will
depend on the number and nature of the problems encountered.
We recognize that potential- liabilities exist at this time relative to
the subject sewer lines and adjacent properties. Therefore, we propose that
the City of Edmonds agree to protect, indemnify ' and save Ge-o-Engineers,' Inc.

Dear Mr. Adams:
RECCIVED

LWOW

N
Some years ago when the City -,.,-,of Edmonds instailled the sewer in
front of my home, located at il-7624 TATbo;t�,'Rq
44 we complained
"'i i on�,y� about 1'2' feet from the
bitterly because in one spot ilPfs `1
actual building. We felt this was not good engineering and there
was no way that it wouldn't disturb the bank and eventually
cause erosion.
Mr. Reid at that time advised me that if the City of Edmonds put
the sewer in, it would certainly be their problem should this ever
happen. Over the years, we have been very careful not to disturb
any growth on the bank, and our yard has been handled on the
basis of preventive maintenance.
In discussing this matter with our own engineers, it was their
feeling that the matter now needs serious attention and that it
would be in the best interest of the City of Edmonds, as well as
our own, for us to get together and see what remedial action can
be taken.
I can be reached at the above address and/or telephone number
most of the time and would welcome hearing from you.
Anticipating your reply,
Sincerely,

Mr. Lief Larson
City Engineer
Edmonds, Washington
Dear Mr. Larson:
April 7, 1969
Some time ago when I started to build my home located at 17624 Talbot Road,
Edmonds, I contacted your office and asked that I be given information on
the location of the new sewer line and said, if possible, I would like to
put in my main dry sewer hook-up line; so that I wouldn't have to tear up
my yard and driveways at a later date. I even went to the trouble of hav-
ing Reid & Middleton engineer in the dry sewer line for the lot in the rear
of ' mine at the time they put in my septic tank and dry sewer hook-up line.
This cost me an extra $400 for the -engineering cost and extra sewer line.
As you know, Lief, they now have this main line of the sewer coming right
across my patio, 13 feet from my family room and about 8 feet from my
living room and practically running under the corner of my bedroom. This
is not where I was told it would be when I applied for my approval from
your office and Reid & Middleton.
You will also recall that you and some of the people from Reid & Middleton
came down and looked over this suggested route, and the people from Reid
& Middleton suggested they lay the line on top of my rockery. Now, they
told me that if a cast iron pipe was put in, there would be no problem
whatsoever. As a matter of fact, we have had an experience where we had
a cast iron sewer line running by a window, and the smell was so bad, we
finally had to move. The excuse for this was that, while a cast iron pipe
does not leak, the gases still escape through very tiny air holes.
Also, it was said the matter would be restudied, and you would report back
to me.
Since we have not heard from your office, I want to go on record as being
very., very, very much opposed to running the sewer where they now show it
and suggest that you locate it down along the railroad tracks where they
originally suggested it be placed--insofar.as related to my property. I
understand that you are running some of the line along the tracks, anyway.
Further, a number of the Talbot Park residents in this general area are
not in favor of the line going along the top of the bank.

2. Do not channel ground water, surface water, footing drains or downspouts into the tank or drainfield.
3. Do not excavate, fill, place a structure, driveway or. patio in, on, or ove'r the drainfield.
4. Limit toilet fixture disposal to sanitary wastes and toilet tissue.
5. Detergents and bleaches used in normal household quantities will not harm the action of tile septic tank and
