GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
MAGIC TOYOTA
21300 AND 21400 HIGHWAY 99
EDMONDS, WASHINGTON
IINTRODUCTION AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This report presents the results of our design geotechnical engineering services for the new building and
site improvements at Magic Toyota located at 21300 and 21400 Highway 99 in Edmonds, Washington.
The property is located on the south side of 212'h Street Southwest and the along the west side of
Highway 99. A vicinity map of the site location is provided as Figure 1.
The site 'includes two parcels; the northern parcel is currently developed with the existing dealership and
adjacent gravel parking lot, and the southern parcel is a former contractor's site containing a small
one-story office building, garage, carport, and yard area. GeoEngineers completed a Phase I ESA for the
southern parcel as surnmarized in our report dated January 17, 2006.
We understand that the new building will be constructed on the upper, northern lot area, and a parking lot
will be located on the southern portion. We anticipate building and floor loads will be typical of facilities
of this type with floor loads in the range of 150 to 200 pounds per square foot and column loads in the
range of 50 to 100 kips.
The purpose of our geotechnical engineering services is to provide recommendations for site preparation
and earthwork, pavement design, foundation design, and construction considerations. Our services
included drilling four hollow -stem auger borings, coordination with Magic Toyota and subcontractors,
completing laboratory testing on samples obtained from the borings, engineering analyses and preparation
of a design geotechnical engineering report.
G EOLOGY
The Puget Sound basin is a region of Quaternary (last 3 million years) sediments that range in thickness
between 800 and 2,400 feet. The basin area has been repeatedly overridden by Pleistocene (between
11,000 and 3 million years ago) continental glacial ice depositing till, glacial sand and gravel. As the
glacial ice retreated to the north, glaciofluvial sediment was deposited in the outwash channels. The most
recent glacial cycle of sediment deposits is referred to as the Vashon Drift, occurring between 13,500 and
15,000 years ago.
We reviewed a U.S. Geologic (USGS) map for the project area, "Preliminary Surficial Geological Map of
the Edmonds East and Edmonds West Quadrangles, Snohomish and King Counties, Washington" by
Mackey Smith (1975). Surficial geologic deposits in the site vicinity are mapped as recessional outwash,
glacial till, and advance outwash. Recessional outwash typically consists of sand and gravel with varying
amounts of silt that was deposited by meltwater from the stagnating and receding glacier. These soils are
typically medium dense. Glacial till is a heterogeneous mixture of sand, gravel, cobbles and occasional
boulders in a silt and clay matrix that was.deposited beneath a glacier. Advance outwash typically
consists of well -stratified sand with variable amounts of gravel and cobbles. The advance outwash is
usually exposed where the overlying glacial till cap has been eroded away, typically in ravines and bluff
margins. Both the glacial till and advance outwash have been overridden by thousands of feet of ice, and
are typically dense to very dense. The Whidbey Formation underlies the advance outwash and typically
consists of dense sands and gravels overlying or interbedded with stiff to hard silts.
File No. 11805-001-02 Page I GWENGINEER�.�/_
July 14, 2006
A zone of weathered till typically overlies the dense glacial till to depths of 3 to 6 feet. This weathered
zone is somewhat drained, whereas the unweathered till is a barrier to vertical drainage. Water
percolating into the weathered till will usually pond and migrate laterally between the weathered and
unweathered layers.
With the exception of the surficial fill, subsurface soils encountered in our borings are similar to
descriptions in the geologic map. Detailed descriptions are provided in the following section.
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE CONDITIONS
The site extends approximately 600 feet in the north -south direction and varies from approximately 180 to
375 feet in the east -west direction. Existing structures on the site include the existing dealership located
in the north -central area, and an existing house, shop, and sheds in the south construction yard area.
Asphalt pavement surrounds the north, west, and east sides of the dealership. A gravel surface parking lot
was constructed south of the dealership by placing up to 10 to 12 feet of fill north of the existing
construction yard. The fill slope is inclined at approximately 30 to 50 percent and is surfaced with
landscape bark. Vegetation within the south construction yard consists primarily of short grass.
Existing ground surface elevations range from approximately Elevation 354 to 356 feet in the lower
construction yard, to Elevation 388 feet at the north border of the site near 212'h Street SW. Existing site
features are shown in the Site Plan, Figure 2.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Soil Conditions
Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions were evaluated by drilling four borings at the approximate
locations shown in Figure 2. Descriptions of the field exploration and laboratory testing procedures and
exploration logs are presented in Appendix A.
Boring B- I was located in the asphalt pavement on the northwest side of the existing dealership building.
The pavement section encountered in boring B-1 consists of 2 inches of asphalt concrete overlying
2 inches of crushed rock base course. Very dense silty sand with gravel (glacial till) underlies the
pavement section. Borings B-2 and B-3 were located in the gravel surface parking area south of the
dealership. These borings encountered 2 to 3 inches of crushed rock surfacing overlying medium dense
silty sand with gravel fill. The fill extends to a depth of approximately 7 to 12 feet and is underlain by
glacial till. Hard silt of the Whidbey Formation was encountered beneath the till in both borings at an
elevation of approximately 346 feet (20 to 24 feet below existing ground surface). Boring B4 was
located in the south construction yard and encountered 10 feet of loose to medium dense fill overlying the
hard silt (also encountered at approximately Elevation 346 feet). We understand that the fill was placed
in this area following excavation of a former underground storage tank.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was encountered during drilling at a depth of 17 feet (approximate Elevation 349.5 to 353)
in the two borings completed within the gravel surface parking lot (borings B-2 and B-3). Groundwater
was not encountered in boring B-1, and was encountered at a depth of 5 feet in boring B-4 (approximately
File No. 11805-001-02 Page 2 GMENGINEER�.�r
Ady 14, 2006
I
Elevation 351 feet). We anticipate that the groundwater is perched on the very dense glacial deposits and
will fluctuate as a function of precipitation and other factors.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY OF KEY GEOTECHNICAL ISSUES
We conclude that the site is suitable for construction of the proposed building provided the
reconu-nendations presented herein are followed. Subsurface soils generally consist of loose to medium
dense fill overlying medium dense to very dense glacial deposits. Fill was not encountered on the
northwest side of the dealership where very dense glacial till is present beneath the pavement section.
Groundwater was encountered below an elevation of 353 feet in our borings.
The following is a summary of the key geotechnical issues related to site development. Design level
recommendations for each of these items, as well as other important geotechnical recommendations for
the proposed project, are contained in subsequent sections of this report. The entire Conclusions and
Recommendations section should be reviewed to obtain pertinent geotechnical recommendations.
0 We recommend Site Class D in accordance with lBC 2003 be utilized for seismic design. Based
on the depth to groundwater encountered in our borings and the consistency of the underlying
glacial deposits, there is low risk of liquef�ction at the site.
Shallow foundations are suitable for support of the new building. Building footings may be
supported on dense native soils or on a minimum 2-foot thickness of structural fill compacted as
recommended in this report. Footings supported as recommended above can be designed for an
allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 psf (pounds per square foot) for dead plus long-term live
loads.
0 We recommend slabs -on -grade be supported on a 4-inch-thick granular subbase overlying either
the dense native soils or a minimum 18-inch thickness of compacted structural fill. The subbase
should consist of clean 3/4-inch minus crushed rock to perform as a capillary break.
0 Lateral loads may be resisted by friction on the base of footings and the floor slab and passive
resistance on the sides of the footings. Detailed recommendations for lateral resistance are
provided in a following section.
0 We understand that a parking area will be constructed in the south lot area (former construction
yard area). Several feet of new fill will be required to raise grade in this area. We recommend
that the sod and topsoil layer be stripped and removed prior to placing new fill.
0 Several areas of demolition and removal of subsurface facilities will be required at the site.
Following stripping and demolition, the existing subgrade should be compacted to 95 percent of
the MDD (maximum dry density). All new fill placed within the building footprint should be
compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the MDD in accordance with ASTMD-1557. New
fill placed beneath pavement areas should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the NMD
within the upper 2 feet, and to a minimum of 90 percent below 2 feet.
0 We recommend a granular subbase underlie new pavement sections. The subbase should consist
of a minimum of 8 inches of sand and gravel containing less than 5 percent passing the U.S. No.
200 sieve. We recommend a minimum pavement section of 3 inches of asphalt concrete
overlying 4 inches of crushed surfacing base course in heavy traffic areas. The thickness of the
asphalt concrete may be reduced to 2 inches in light service or automobile parking areas.

.1
Seismicity
The site is located within the Puget Sound region, which is seismically active. Seismicity in this region is
attributed primarily to the interaction between the Pacific, Juan de Fuca and North American plates. The
Juan de Fuca plate is subducting beneath the North American plate. It is thought that the resulting
deformation and breakup of the Juan de Fuca platemight account for the deep focus earthquakes in the
region. Hundreds of earthquakes have been recorded in the Puget Sound area. In recent history, four of
these earthquakes were large events: (1) in 1946, a Richter magnitude 7.2 earthquake occurred in the
Vancouver Island, British Columbia area; (2) in 1949, a Richter magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred in the
Olympia area; (3) in 1965, a Richter magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurred between Seattle and Tacoma;
and (4) recently in 2001, a Richter magnitude 6.8 occurred near Olympia.
Research is presently underway regarding historical large magnitude subduction-related earthquake
activity along the Washington and Oregon coasts. Geologists are reporting evidence that suggests several
large magnitude earthquakes (Richter magnitude 8 to 9) have occurred in the last 1,500 years, the most
recent of which occurred about 300 years ago. No earthquakes of this magnitude have been documented
during the recorded history of the Pacific Northwest. Local design practice in Puget Sound and local
building codes are beginning to consider the possible effect of a very large subduction. earthquake in the
design of structures.
Seismic Zone
We understand that the project will be designed utilizing 2003 IBC. We recommend the project site be
classified as Site Class D as defined in the IBC. The parameters for the 2003 IBC are summarized in the
following table:
Spectral Response Accelerations *,
Note: 1) Soil Profile Type Description: Stiff Soil Proflle
Liquefaction Potential
Liquefaction refers to a condition where vibration or shaking of the ground, usually from earthquake
forces, results in the development of excess pore pressures in saturated soils and subsequent loss of
strength. This can result in vertical oscillations and/or lateral spreading of the affected soils with
accompanying surface subsidence and/or heaving. In general, soils, which are susceptible to liquefaction,
include loose to medium dense clean to silty sands which are saturated (i.e., below the water table).
Based on the groundwater table and soil consistency encountered in our borings, the risk of liquefaction at
the site is low.

Other Considerations
We strongly recommend that all connections to the building be flexible to allow differential movements
to occur between the building and the adjacent ground during and after an earthquake. In particular, it is
important that gas, sewer and water lines be fitted with flexible connections at the building. We also
recommend that automatic shut-off values, triggered by seismic accelerations, be installed in gas and
water lines leading to the building.
SHALLow FOUNDATIONS
Shallow footings may be founded on dense native soils or on a minimum 2-foot thickness of structural fill
compacted as recommended in the Earthwork section of this report. Footings supported as recommended
above can be designed using an allowable soil bearing value of 3,000 psf.
All column and continuous footings should have minimum widths of 3 feet and 1-1/2 feet, respectively.
The footings should be founded at least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent grade for frost protection.
We estimate that the settlement of continuous strip and isolated column footings will be on the order of
1/4 to 1/2 inch, depending on the loading conditions. Differential settlements should not exceed about
1/2 inch in about 40 to 50 feet. These settlements should occur rapidly after applying load to the footings
due to the granular nature of the bearing soils. We estimate differential settlement between comparably
loaded footings founded on similar soil will be on the order of one-half the total settlement. Additional
differential settlement may occur between footings supporting different loads or between footings
underlain by different subgrade soils.
The allowable bearing values presented above apply to the total of dead and long-term live loads
exclusive of the weight of the footing and any overlying backfill. An increase in these values of one-third
may be used when considering wind or seismic loading.
FLOOR SLAB SUPPORT
All slab subgrade areas should be stripped and proofrolled or otherwise evaluated as recommended in
Site Preparation before placing any fill. We recommend slabs -on -grade be supported on a 4-inch-thick
granular subbase overlying either the dense native soils or compacted structural fill. The subbase should
consist of clean 3/4-inch minus crushed rock to perform as a capillary break. If fill placement and slab
construction will proceed during extended periods of dry weather, the import fill placed below the upper
4 inches of slab subgrade can contain an increased percentage of fines, provided the fill can be compacted
as recommended in the Earthwork section of this report. If moisture sensitive floor coverings will be
used, we also recomr nend a vapor barrier with bonded seams.
LATERAL RESISTANCE
The soil resistance available to resist lateral loads is a function of the frictional resistance which can
develop on the base of footings and slabs, and the passive resistance which can develop on the face of
below -grade elements of the structure as these elements tend to move into the soil. For footings and floor
slabs founded on structural fill placed and compacted in accordance with our recommendations, the
allowable frictional resistance can be computed using a coefficient of friction of 0.35 applied to vertical
dead -load forces. The allowable passive resistance on the face of footings, grade beams or other
embedded foundation elements can be computed using an equivalent fluid density of 300 pcf
(triangular distribution) if all soil extending out from the face of the foundation element for a distance at
least equal to two and one-half times the depth of the element consists of structural fill compacted to at

least 95 percent of maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557). This value should be reduced to 250 pcf if the
face of foundation elements are located within the existing loose fill soils. The above coefficient of
friction and passive equivalent fluid density values include a factor of safety of about 1.5.
RETAINING WALLS
Conventional cast -in -place concrete retaining walls may be required to construct the receiving dock
portion of the building, or in areas of grade transitions. Guidelines for rockery wall construction are
provided in Appendix C.
Lateral earth pressures for permanent retaining walls depend on the type of backfill material, ground
water levels, compactive effort on backfill and amount of wall yielding. Additional lateral earth pressure
due to seismic loading should also be included in the design.
For walls that are free to yield at the top at least one one -thousandth of the height of the wall, soil
pressures will be less than if movement is limited by such factors as wall stiffness or bracing. Assuming
that the walls are backfilled and drainage is provided as outlined in the following paragraphs, we
recommend that yielding walls supporting horizontal backfill be designed using an equivalent fluid
density of 35 pcf (triangular distribution), while non -yielding walls supporting horizontal backfill be
designed using an equivalent fluid density of 55 pcf (triangular distribution). We recommend a uniform
seismic pressure of 8H be used in design of permanent walls.
The earth pressure values presented above assume that hydrostatic pressure does not build up against the
wall. For conventional retaining walls, we recommend that a minimum 24-inch-thick layer of rock or
sand and gravel with less than 5 percent fines be placed behind the wall. This layer of rock or sand and
gravel should extend from the base of the wall to within I foot of the finished ground surface; the upper
I foot should consist of relatively impen-neable on -site native soil or pavement. Smooth -walled
perforated drainpipe having a minimum diameter of 6 inches should be embedded within the zone of
free -draining material at the base of the wall along its entire length. This drainpipe should discharge to a
tightline collection system.
We recommend fill against the wall be compacted to between 90 and 92 percent of maximum dry density
determined in accordance with ASTM D-1557. Hand operated compactors should be used within a 5-foot
zone behind the walls. Over -compaction near the. wall should be avoided to reduce lateral pressures
against the back of the wall.
PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Pavement subgrade areas should be stripped and proofrolled, or otherwise evaluated, as recommended in
the Site Preparation section of the report. Assuming that proper site preparation is accomplished and a
-relatively firm subgrade can be achieved, we recommend a minimum 8-inch-thick subbase layer be
provided beneath the base course of the pavement section to enhance site drainage. The subbase should
consist of free -draining sand and gravel with less than five percent fines (that portion passing the U.S. NO.
200 sieve). The subbase may not be necessary in the southern fill area depending on the gradation of the
import material. We recommend the necessity for the pavement subbase be confirmed by the
geotechnical engineer during construction.

Crushed rock base course should meet WSDOT specification 9-03.9(3). We recommend the subbase consist of
free -draining sand and gravel with less than five percent fines. The above pavement recommendations assume
placement of structural fill as previously recommended and an R value of 45 (CBR of approximately 15).
EARTHWORK
Site Preparation
We understand that approximately 8 to 10 feet of fill may be placed in the southern site area to raise
grades to form the new south parking lot. Site development in this area will require removal of the
existing shop and house, buried utilities and other potential subsurface facilities. Site preparation should
also include stripping the sod and topsoil present in the south yard area and placing the stripped material
in landscaping areas or removing it from the site. Based on our exploration and site observations, we
expect that the depth of stripping will generally be less than 2 to 4 inches, and little to no stripping will be
required in the central yard area where vehicle travel has occurred.
The existing surficial soils consist primarily of silty sand and contain high fines (silt) content such that
repeated construction traffic will result in considerable disturbance during wet weather construction. If
wet weather construction occurs, it may be necessary to provide a layer of quarry spalls, crushed rock or
pit run sand and gravel if the on -site soils become wet and begin to pump.
We recommend that the exposed subgrade be proofrolled with heavy rubber -tired construction equipment
if work is done during extended dry weather. Any soft, loose or otherwise unsuitable areas identified
during proofrolling should be recompacted, if practical, or removed and replaced with structural fill as
described subsequently. We recommend that proofrolling of the subgrade be observed by a representative
from our firm to assess the adequacy of the subgrade conditions and to identify areas needing remedial
work.
If site preparation is performed during wet weather, stripping should be done using lightweight
construction equipment. Trafficability at the site under wet conditions is expected to be difficult and
could result in considerable disturbance to exposed subgrade areas if not done carefully.
Structural Fill
During dry weather, structural fill placed below the recommended pavement and slab subbase can contain
an increased fines content, provided, that the minimum compaction cr iteria can be achieved. The
maximum particle size for general site grading should be limited to about six inches. The pavement
subbase and the upper four inches of building pad fill (capillary break material) should consist of a
well -graded, free -draining sand and gravel free of organic matter and debris. The sand and gravel fill
should contain less than five percent fines by weight relative to the fiaction passing the 3/4-inch sieve.
File No. 11805-001-02 Page 7 GEoENG1NEERUrP
July 14, 2006
I
I
I
The maximum particle size should be limited to 1 V2 inches. We should be provided samples of the
proposed capillary break material for evaluation prior to approving it as acceptable material.
Structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts which are 10 inches or less in loose thickness. Within
the building footprint areas and within two feet of the finished subgrade surface for pavement areas, each
lift should be uniformly compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined in
accordance with the ASTM D-1557 test method. For fill more than two feet below the finished pavement
subgrade surface, the compaction criteria can be reduced to 90 percent of the maximum dry density
(ASTM D-1557). The moisture content of the fill material may need to be adjusted to achieve the
specified compaction.
Structural fill placed on the existing slope should be 'keyed' into the slope by excavating a series of
horizontal benches. The benches are typically cut into the slope gradient a minimum of 3 feet wide and
structural fill is placed in horizontal lifts. We recommend that a representative from our staff be present
at the site to observe and evaluate fill placement and compaction operations, and to complete a
representative number of in -place density tests to determine if compaction criteria are being achieved.
Permanent Slopes
We recommend permanent slope inclinations no steeper than 2H: 1 V (horizontal to vertical) in medium
dense to dense existing soils or in structural fill placed in accordance with our recommendations.
Structural fill should meet the cr-iten*a described in the previous section, "Structural Fill." Fill should be
carefully compacted on the slope face as described in the previous section.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
The site soils have a moderate to high susceptibility to erosion when disturbed. Temporary erosion
control measures should be used during construction depending on the water, location, soil type, and other
factors. Surface water should be prevented from flowing across disturbed areas and not directed toward
the slopes during construction. Temporary erosion protection (e.g., straw, plastic, or rolled erosion
control products [RECPs]) may be necessary to reduce sediment transport until vegetation is established
or permanent surfacing applied. Appropriate best management practices (BMPs) should be incorporated
into the temporary erosion and sediment control plan by the civil engineer. We are available to provide
input if desirable.
DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
We recommend that pavement surfaces be sloped so that surface drainage flows away from the building.
We recommend that all roof drainage be collected in tight lines for diversion into the storm drain system.
Because of the potential for a perched groundwater condition to develop above the native glacial deposits,
we recommend a perimeter footing drain be constructed around the new building. Grading in all areas
should be accomplished to avoid concentration of runoff onto fill, cut slopes, natural slopes steeper than
10 percent or other erosion -sensitive areas.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Subsurface soil and groundwater conditions were evaluated by drilling four borings. The borings were
completed to depths of 15.5 to 41.5 feet below the existing ground surface (bgs). The approximate
locations of the explorations are shown in Figure 2.
The borings were continuously monitored by a geotechnical engineer from our firm who examined and
classified the soils encountered, obtained representative soil samples, observed groundwater conditions,
and prepared a detailed log of each exploration. Soils were visually classified in general accordance with
ASTM D 2488-90, which is described in Figure A-1. An explanation of our boring log symbols is also
shown in Figure A-1.
The samples were obtained using an SPT -sampler driven into the soil with a 140-pound harnmer
free -falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler the last 12 inches or other
indicated distances are recorded on the boring log. The logs of the borings are presented in Figures A-2
and A-5. The exploration logs are based on our interpretation of the field and laboratory data and indicate
the various types of soils encountered. They also indicate the depths at which these soils or their
characteristics change; although the change might actually be gradual.
LABORATORY TESTING
All soil samples were brought to our laboratory for further examination. Selected samples were tested to
determine their moisture content, percent fines, and Atterberg limits characteristics. The results of the
moisture content and percent fines tests are presented on the logs. The Atterberg limits test results are
included as Figure A-6.

REPORT LIMITATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR USE'
This appendix provides information to help you manage your risks with respect to the use of this report.
GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES ARE PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES, PERSONS AND
PROJECTS
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Magic Toyota, Carletti Architects and their
authorized agents. This report is not intended for use by others, and the information contained herein is
not applicable to other sites.
GeoEngineers structures our services to meet the specific needs of our clients. For example, a
geotechnical or geologic study conducted for a civil engineer or architect may not fulfill the needs of a
construction contractor or even another civil engineer or architect that are involved in the same project.
Because each geotechnical or. geologic study is unique, each geotechnical engineering or geologic report
is unique, prepared solely for the specific client and project site. Our report is prepared for the exclusive
use of our Client. No other party may rely on the product of our services unless we agree in advance to
such reliance in writing. This is to provide our firm with reasonable protection against open-ended
liability claims by third parties with whom there would otherwise be no contractual limits to their actions.
Within the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, our services have been executed in accordance with
our Agreement with the Client and generally accepted geotechnical practices in this area at the time this
report was prepared. This report should not be applied for any purpose or project except the one
originally contemplated.
A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING OR GEOLOGIC REPORT Is BASED ON A UNIQUE SET OF
PROJECT-SPECIFIc FACTORS
This report has been prepared for the proposed building addition to the existing Magic Toyota dealership
located at 21300 Highway 99 in Edmonds, Washington. GeoEngineers considered a number of unique,
project -specific factors when establishing the scope of services for this project and report. Unless
GeoEngineers specifically indicates otherwise, do not rely on this report if it was:
• not prepared for you,
• not prepared for your project,
• not prepared for the specific site explored, or
• completed before important project changes were made.
For example, changes that can affect the applicability of this report include those that affect:
• the function of the proposed structure;
• elevation, configuration, location, orientation or weight of the proposed structure;
• composition of the design team; or
• project ownership.

File No. 11805-001-02 Page B-1 GWENGINEERir.)
July 14, 2006
If important changes are made after the date of this report, GeoEngineers should be given the opportunity
to review our interpretations and recommendations and provide written modifications or confirmation, as
appropriate.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE
This geotechnical or geologic report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was
performed. The findings and conclusions of this report may be affected by the passage of time, by
manmade events such as construction on or adjacent to the site, or by natural events such as floods,
earthquakes, slope instability or groundwater fluctuations. Always contact GeoEngineers before applying
a report to determine if it remains applicable.
MOST GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOLOGIC FINDINGS ARE PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS
Our interpretations of subsurface conditions are based on field observations from widely spaced sampling
locations at the site. Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where
subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. GeoEngineers reviewed field and laboratory data
and then applied our professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout
the site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ, sometimes significantly, from those indicated in this
report. Our report, conclusions and interpretations should not be construed as a warranty of the
subsurface conditions.
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT FINAL
Do not over -rely on the preliminary construction recommendations included in this report. These
recommendations are not final, because they were developed principally from GeoEngineers' professional
judgment and opinion. GeoEngineers' recommendations can be finalized only by observing actual
subsurface conditions revealed during construction. GeoEngineers cannot assume responsibility or
liability for this report's recommendations if we do not perform construction observation.
Sufficient monitoring, testing and consultation by GeoEngineers should be provided during construction
to confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to
provide recommendations for design changes should the conditions revealed during the work differ from
those anticipated, and to evaluate whether or not earthwork activities are completed in accordance with
our recommendations. Retaining GeoEngineers for construction observation for this projectis the most
effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated conditions.
A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING OR GEOLOGIC REPORT COULD BE SUBJECT To
MISINTERPRETATION
Misinterpretation of this report by other design team members can result in costly problems. You could
lower that risk by having GeoEngineers confer with appropriate members of the design team after
submitting the report. Also retain GeoEngineers to review pertinent elements of the design team's plans
and specifications. Contractors can also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering or geologic report.
Reduce that risk by having GeoEngineers participate in pre -bid and preconstruction. conferences, and by
providing construction observation.
Do NOT REDRAw THE EXPLORATION LOGS
Geotechnical engineers and geologists prepare final boring and testing logs based upon their
interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a
File No, 11805-001 -01 Page B-2 GWENGINEER��r
July 14, 2006
. i
I
geotechnical engineering or geologic report should never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other
design drawings. Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize that
separating logs from the report can elevate risk.
GIVE CONTRACTORS A COMPLETE REPORT AND GUIDANCE
Some owners and design professionals believe they can make contractors liable for unanticipated
subsurface conditions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems,
give contractors the complete geotechnical engineering or geologic report, but preface it with a clearly
written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the report was not prepared for purposes
of bid development and that the report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with GeoEngineers
and/or to conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they need or prefer. A
pre-b'd conference can also be valuable. Be sure contractors have sufficient time to perform additional
study. Only then might an owner be in a position to give contractors the best information available, while
requiring them to at least share the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions.
Further, a contingency for unanticipated conditions should be included in your project budget and
schedule.
CONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SITE SAFETY ON THEIR OWN CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS
Our geotechnical recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's procedures, methods,
schedule or management of the work site. The contractor is solely responsible for job site safety and for
managing construction operations to minimize risks to on -site personnel and to adjacent properties.
READ THESE PROVISIONS CLOSELY
Some clients, design professionals and contractors may not recognize that the geoscience practices
(geotechnical engineering or geology) are far less exact than other engineering and natural science
disciplines. This lack of understanding can create unrealistic expectations that could lead to
disappointments, claims and disputes. GeoEngineers includes these explanatory "limitations" provisions
in our reports to help reduce such risks. Please confer with GeoEngineers if you are unclear how these
"Report Limitations and Guidelines for Use" apply to your project or site.
GEOTECHNICAL, GEOLOGIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS SHOULD NOT BE INTERCHANGED
The equipment, techniques and personnel used to perforin an environmental study differ significantly
from those used to perform a geotechnical or geologic study and vice versa. For that reason, a
geotechnical engineering or geologic report does not usually relate any environmental findings,
conclusions or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or
regulated contaminants. Similarly, environmental reports are not used to address geotechnical or geologic
concerns regarding a specific project.
BIOLOGICAL POLLUTANTS
GeoEngineers' Scope of Work specifically excludes the investigation, detection, prevention, or
assessment of the presence of biological pollutants in or around any structure. Accordingly, this report
includes no interpretations, recommendations, findings, or conclusions for the purpose of detecting,
preventing, assessing, or abating biological pollutants. The term "biological pollutants" includes, but is
not limited to, molds, fungi, spores, bacteria, and viruses, and/or any of their byproducts.

APPENDIX C
GENERAL ROCKERIES
Rockery walls may be used in both cut and fill areas. In cut areas where dense native soils are exposed,
rockery walls may be up to 10 feet high if the ground surface behind the wall is level, or up to 6 feet high
for a 1.5H: IV backslope. In fill areas, we recommend limiting the wall height to 4 feet when retaining fill
having a level backslope, or 4 feet for a 2H: IV backslope. A height of more than 4 feet of fill can be
achieved using reinforced materials within the fill. Reinforced fills should be designed on a case by case
basis by the geotechnical engineer.
We recommend that rockery walls be founded on dense native soils or on structural fill placed to the
recommended standard. In our opinion, when adequate foundation support and suitable materials are
present such as those outlined above, rockery walls will provide a cost-effective earth retention system.
Specific construction guidelines for rockery walls are presented in the following paragraphs.
CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES
The primary purpose of a rockery is to protect the slope face from erosion and raveling while providing
limited soil retention. The base of the rockery should be embedded at least one-half the thickness of the
lowest course of rocks or 18 inches below the adjacent ground surface, whichever is greater. The rockery
should be supported on firm, undisturbed medium dense or denser native soils or on compacted structural
fill. The final rockery face should be constructed with a batter of between IH:5V and IH:6V.
The rockery rocks should be tabular and rectangular. Rocks should be hard, sound, durable and free of
weathered portions, seams, cracks and other defects. Based on the height of the cut and the slope behind
the rockery, we recommend that the rockeries be constructed using rock weights from about 750 to
5,000 pounds (3- to 5-man rocks as defined by Associated Rockery Contractors). The rock density
should not be less than 160 pcf. The lower 2 to 4 feet of the rockery should be constructed using 4- to
5 man-size rocks.
Rock selection and placement should be accomplished to reduce the number and size of voids. In the
exposed face of the wall, no openings greater than 6 inches in dimension in any direction should be
permitted. Rock courses should be gradational in size from bottom to top with the largest rocks of
uniform size being placed for the lowest two courses. The contact between rocks should slope downward
to the back side of the rockery. Each course of rocks should be seated tightly and evenly on the course
beneath. After seating each course of rock, voids between the rocks should be chinked on the back with
quarry spalls to eliminate passage of backfill material. Backfill immediately behind the rockery should
I consist of quarry spalls. The spalls should consist of well -graded 3/4- to 4-inch crushed rock and should
be durable, uncontaminated by soil or other debris, and not readily susceptible to weathering.
I
The quarry spall fill should be at least 18 inches wide from the rockery and the face of the cut. The spalls
should be placed and compacted in lifts to a level approximately 2 inches below the top of each course of
rocks as they are placed, until the uppermost course is placed. Backfill material falling onto the bearing
surface of one rock course must be removed before setting the next course. Rock placement should be
such that each rock above the base course will be supported on two rocks in the next lower row.
File No. 11805-001-02 Page C-1 GMENGINEER��r
July 14, 2006
A perforated drainpipe should be embedded in the backfill at the base of the rockery. This drain should
discharge to the storm drain system or daylight at a location that will not impact the adjacent road or other
moisture -sensitive areas.
A qualified contractor experienced in rockery construction should install rockeries. The construction
should be monitored by a geotechnical engineer.

SUBJECT: Magic Toyota - Garage Bearing Pressure and Seismic Design
This mernorandurn summarizes our discussions and recommendations for additional soil bearing pressure and
seismic design for design of the Magic Toyota facility located at 21300 ffighway 99 in Edmonds,
Washington. GeoEngineers provided a design report for the project dated July 14, 2006.
Allowable Soil Bearing Pressure
We understand that you are considering using higher bearing pressures for the garage to be constructed in the
south site area. If higher soil bearing values are' desirable, it is possible to overexca:vate an additional
thickness of the existing loose fill soils, where present, and replace them with compacted crushed rock. An
allowable soil bearing value of 5,000 psf can be utilized provided a minimum 4-foot depth of crushed rock is
placed and compacted beneath the footing. This bearing pressure can also be utilized where footings are
founded on dense native soils, or on compacted crushed rock overlying these soils. The allowable bearing
value applies to the total of dead and long-term live loads exclusive of the weight of the footing and any
overlying backfill. An increase of one-third may be used when considering wind or seismic loading.
All column and continuous footings should have minimum widths of 3 feet and 1-1/2 feet, respectively. The
footings should be founded at least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent grade for frost protection. We
estimate that the settlement of isolated column footings will be on the order of Y. to I inch, depending on the
loading conditions.
We recommend a representative from our firm observe footing excavations to confirm soil conditions are as
anticipated. It will be possible to reduce the recommended 4-foot thickness of crushed rock if dense native
soils are present- After the footing excavation is completed and the subgrade has been observed by a.
geotechnical engineer, the base should be compacted to the extent practical using a high-energy vibratory
compactor. Crushed rock backfill should be placed in the excavation in horizontal lifts which are 6 to 8
inches in loose thickness. Each lift should be uniformly compacted prior to placing subsequent lifts.
We recommend that the crushed rock backfill be submitted to GeoEngineers for approval prior to using. Any
'p
of the materials locally available that meet the Washington State Department of TrarAS ortation Standard
Specifications for crushed surfacing would be suitable where placed above water. A clean, well -graded
material may be appropriate in lower areas of the cxcavation if groundwater is present. It is critical that the
structural fill underneath footings be prepared properly to limit differential settlements. We recommend that
all footing excavations and fill placement be observed by a representative from our firm to verify that the
procedures conform with the intent of our recominendations; and the plans and specifications.

Magic Toyota - Detention Vault Recommendations
This memorandum summarizes our discussions and recommendations for design of the proposed underground
detention vault at the Magic Toyota facility located at 21300 Highway 99 in Edmonds, Washington.
GeoEngineers provided a design report for the project dated July 14, 2006.
We understand that the project may include an underground detention vault to be located under the parking
garage at the south end of the site. The vault measures approximately 45 feet long, by 20 feet wide and 7.5
feet deep. We understand that the vault will have about one foot of cover and the floor of the vault will be at
about Elevation 346.9 feet. The area where the vault is located may have perched groundwater 5 to 6 feet
above the bottom of the vault.
Previous subsurface explorations at the site include borings drilled about 15 to 41.5 feet below the existing
ground surface. Although borings were not drilled in the vault area, boring B-4 was drilled in the southern
area of the property. Perched groundwater was observed in boring B-4 about 5 feet below the ground surface,
which corresponds to about Elevation 351 feet.
Allowable Soil Bearing Pressure
In our opinion, the vault footings may be designed using an allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 psf
provided that the vault is founded on medium dense to very dense glacial soils or on at least 2 feet of properly
compacted structural fill overlying medium dense glacial soils. Some overexcavation. may be required below
the vault, especially if loose or soft fill soils exist. We recommend that a representative from our firm
evaluate the subgrade condition for the vault to determine whether adequate bearing soils are exposed or
whether zones of unsuitable soils exist, which should be removed and replaced for adequate support. In
addition, fill placement and compaction under the vault should be observed and tested where necessary. The
contractor should be prepared to control groundwater in the excavation.
Lateral Earth Pressures
We understand that the vault will be designed with permanent wall drainage to prevent the build-up of
hydrostatic pressures on the vault walls. We also understand that the wall drainage pipe will be located no
higher than one foot above the floor of the vault.
Vault retaining walls with permanent drainage that are not structurally restrained should be designed to resist
lateral soil pressures equal to an equivalent fluid density of 35 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). If the tops of the
walls will be structurally restrained, an equivalent fluid density of 55 pcf will be appropriate. Walls are
assumed to be restrained if top movement during backfilling is less than H11000, where H is the wall height.
The above soil pressures assume that drainage is provided behind the walls. For the drained condition, we
recommend that backfill within 2 feet of the walls consist of free -draining sand and gravel containing less
than 5 percent fines. We also recommend installing a 4-inch-diameter perforated drainpipe within the free-

draining material at the base of the walls. The drainpipes should discharge into the storm water collection
system. Each drainpipe should incorporate a cleanout at the upper end of the pipe run.
If drainage is not provided behind the walls (undrained conditions), we recommend that the vault walls be
designed for full hydrostatic pressures based on an equivalent fluid density of 85 pcf (triangular distribution).
In addition, the vault floor should be designed to resist hydrostatic uplift pressures. A unit weight of 130 pef
should be used for the compacted weight of the cover soil when computing uplift resistance.
The vault should be designed with additional surcharge pressures resulting from adjacent foundation loads or
traffic loads, if needed.
Vault Backfill
We recommend that the vault excavation be backfilled using suitable on -site soils, placed and compacted as
structural fill. Wet and/or silty soils removed from the vault excavation should'not be used as structural fill
against the vault walls unless they are properly moisture conditioned. The excavated soils, located above the
observed groundwater seepage may be suitable for placement as structural fill. The on -site soils should be
free of organics, debris, and other deleterious materials. Fill placed more than 2 feet below the garage
subgrade should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density (MDD) per ASTM D 1557.
Structural fill placed within 2 feet of the garage subgrade should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the
MDD.
We trust this memorandum meets your immediate needs. Please call if you have any questions or comments.

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The proposed project site is located in a portion of the Northwest quarter of Section 29,
Township 27 North, Range 4 East, Willamette Meridian, City of Edmonds, Snohomish County,
Washington. More specifically, the site is located near the intersection of Aurora Avenue North
and 212th Street.
The project consists of a single -story car dealership building, as well as a two-story parking
garage facility. The site will be approximately 90 percent impervious as well as having a
stormwater conveyance system, water quality vault, detention vault, and an off -site conveyance
system on the south side of the site.
ONSITE AREAS
TESC (to trap) = 1.59 acres
Total Site Area = 1.59 acres
The temporary erosion control plans and final grading plans will be designed in accordance with
City of Edmonds standards. One sediment trap is being designed for this project. The trap is
sized in accordance with the 1992 DOE standards. The following pages contain calculations for
the sediment trap.
The existing soils include Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam, which is considered a Type C
classification. The temporary conditions during construction will be a graded condition and a
higher curve number was selected according to soil type.

This project meets minimum Best Management Practices for erosion control, based on the
1992 Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin developed by the Department
of Ecology by providing a temporary rock construction entrance, temporary V-ditches with rock
check dams, silt fences around the perimeter of the site, and sediment traps These minimum Best
Management Practices meet established criteria for providing erosion control methodology for a
project site within the City of Edmonds.
The curve numbers provided by StormShed are higher and, therefore, provide a more conservative estimate of
on -site conditions than do closely related "Dirt Roads and Parking Lots" and "Fair Condition Open Spaces" shown
on DOE Table 111- 1.3 in the Pond Sizing Exhibit.
12888.002.doc
The computer model utilized to size the temporary sediment trap was the StormShed program
developed by Ingenious Systems, Inc., which utilizes the Santa Barbara Urban Hydrograph with a
Type IA rainfall distribution. The temporary erosion control phase of this development should
create a condition where no runoff leaves the developed portions of the site except where it is
discharged from the sediment ponds. The entire site shall have no untreated runoff nor allow
sediment -laden water to leave the site at any point.
Groundwater, if encountered in the utility trenches, will be allowed to be pumped into the
sediment trap. Baker tanks will not be used to collect groundwater. A high seasonal groundwater
table is known to exist in this area. Exfiltration of groundwater into shallow excavations may
occur during the wet seasonal months. Infiltration of runoff during the dry seasonal conditions
will occur in the same shallow excavations. The actual quantities are anticipated to be small to
negligible when compared to the surface water runoff inflow and discharge quantities.
No impact on the treatment and removal of sediments is anticipated given the high groundwater
tables.
Runoff values prepared by the Soil Conservation Service, i.e., CN numbers, include provisions
for shallow soils and high groundwater conditions. Final water quality runoff volume inflows
will not be affected by the known groundwater conditions.
It is anticipated that the introduction of fine silt clay particles into the sedimentation and erosion
control ponds produce clogging of the pond bottom soil layers. This resulting clogging will,
during the dryer seasonal conditions, inhibit the infiltration of runoff waters into the surrounding
subsoils and will ultimately provide some protection to the groundwater from runoff pollutants.
Construction sequencing provides for the logical installation of sedimentation, erosion control,
and other features that may lend to site stabilization and dewatering of the subsoils during the
early stages of site development. The proposal includes the utilization of the final stormwater
quality treatment areas for sediment trap construction when possible. This minimizes excavation
activities, allows for the stabilization of surfaces, and control of the erosion and sedimentation
process by construction sequences. Site grading proposed will allow for the construction of final
storm drainage facilities. This grading will include positive slopes for drainage to the interim
treatment facilities, removal of stockpiles, and contouring for roadway base materials after utility
installations.
