GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Proposed Townhouse Development
23820 Edmonds Way
Edmonds, Washington
This report presents the findings and recommendations of our geotechnical engineering study for
the site of the proposed townhouses to be located in Edmonds, Washington.
We did not review complete building plans for the development, but based on the conceptual site
plan provided (Morgan Design Group — dated 2115107), we understand that the project will involve
the construction of 35 townhomes in 13 buildings on the site. No basements are anticipated and
finished floor elevations are assumed to be within a few feet of the existing site grades.
If the scope of the project changes from what we have described above, we should be provided
with revised plans in order to determine if modifications to the recommendations and conclusions of
this report are warranted.
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The Vicinity Map, Plate 1, illustrates the general 'location of the site. The irregular -shaped, 1.27-
acre property features about 250 feet of frontage along Edmonds Way to the northeast. The site is
currently developed with six duplex/triplex apartment buildings with shallow crawlspaces or slab
floors. The areas around the buildings are on -grade drives, parking, and landscaped beds. There
is approximately 4 feet of fall across the site and the subject property is generally on -grade with the
adjacent properties to the north and south.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface conditions were explored by excavating four test pits at the approximate locations
shown on the Site Exploration Plan, Plate 2. Our exploration program was based on site access,
the proposed construction, anticipated subsurface conditions and those encountered during
exploration, and the scope of work outlined in our proposal.
The test pits were excavated on October 3, 2007 with a rubber -tracked backhoe operated by your
personnel. A geotechnical engineer from our staff observed the excavation process, logged the
test pits, and obtained representative samples of the Soil encountered. "Grab" samples of selected
subsurface soil were collected from the backhoe bucket. The Test Pit Logs are attached to this
report as Plate 3.
Soff Conditions
The test pits conducted on the site encountered topsoil overlying 2.5 to 4.5 feet of loose to
medium -dense, silty sands (weathered soils or old fill) overlying less weathered, medium -
dense to dense, native sands. These sands were, in turn, underlain by very dense, silty
sands. The non -weathered, dense to very dense, glacially -consolidated mixture of sand, slit
and gravel (Glacial Till) was encountered in Test Pits 1 and 3 at 8 to 8.5 feet below grade.

Due to the groundwater encountered in Test Pit 4, the interface of the sands and silty sands
would be anticipated to be close to the bottom of this pit.
No obstructions were revealed by our explorations. However, debris, buried utilities, and old
foundation and slab elements are commonly encountered on sites that have had previous
development. Although our explorations did not encounter cobbles or boulders, they are
often found in soils that have been deposited by glaciers or fast-moving water.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater seepage was observed in Test Pit 4 at approximately 6 feet below the existing
grade. Groundwater levels vary seasonally with rainfall and other factors. During the wetter
winter months, we anticipate that groundwater could be found in more permeable soil
layers, pockets within the till, and perched between the near -surface weathered soil and the
underlying glacial till.
The stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types at the
exploration locations. The actual transition between soil types may be gradual, and subsurface
conditions can vary between exploration locations. The logs provide specific subsurface
information only at the locations tested. The relative densities and moisture descriptions indicated
on the test pits, are interpretive descriptions based on the conditions observed during excavation.
The compaction of backfill was not in the scope of our services. Loose soil will therefore be found
in the area of the test pits. If this presents a problem, the backfill will need to be removed and
replaced with structural fill during construction.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
THIS SECTION CONTAINS A SUMMARY OF OUR STUDY AND FINDINGS FOR THE PURPOSES OF A
GENERAL OVERVIEW ONLY. MORE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS ARE
CONTAINED IN THE REMAINDER OF THIS REPORT ANY PARTY RELYING ON THIS REPORT SHOULD
READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT.
The test pits conducted for this study encountered medium -dense or denser native sand at depths
ranging from 1 to 4.5 feet below the existing grade. Based on these findings, it is our opinion that
the proposed buildings can be supported by conventional spread and continuous foundations bear-
ing directly on medium -dense, native soils or on structural fill placed above medium -dense, native
soil. During wet weather, it may be prudent to cover the bearing surfaces with a 3- to 4-inch thick
protective rock mat to prevent disturbance from foot traffic during formwork. The protective mat
should consist of clean crushed rock or clean, recycled concrete. The rock mat will likely not be
necessary during dry weather.
The dense, silty sand soils that underlie the shallow, sandy soils at the site are not suitable for
infiltration of stormwater due to their low permeability. Furthermore, groundwater was encountered
in one of the test pits and relatively shallow, perched groundwater would be anticipated to occur
between the sands and the underlying denser, silty soils following general wet weather or heavy
rain events.

Storm detention/retention facilities and other utilities are often installed below, or near, structures.
The walls of storm vaults must be designed as either cantilever or restrained retaining walls, as
appropriate. Wall pressures for the expected soil conditions are presented in the Permanent
Foundation and Retaining Walls section of this report. It is important that the portion of the
structure above the permanent detained water level be backfilled with free -draining soil, as
recommended for retaining walls. Should drainage not be provided, the walls must be designed for
hydrostatic forces acting on the outside of the structure. The backfill for all underground structures
must be compacted in lifts according to the criteria in the previous section of this report. Trenches
for underground structures and utilities should not cross a line extending downwards from a new or
existing footing at an inclination of (1:1) (Horizontal: Vertical), or a line extending downwards from a
property line at an inclination of (1:1) (H:V). We should be consulted if these excavation zones will
be exceeded for installation of storm facilities or other utilities.
A geotechnical consideration for development of this site is the high silt content of some of the
native soils. The fine-grainedi silty soils are sensitive to moisture, which makes them impossible to
adequately compact when they have moisture contents even 2 to 3 percent above their optimum
moisture content. The reuse of these soils as structural fill will only be successful during dry
weather. The earthwork contractor must be prepared to rework areas that do not achieve proper
compaction due to high moisture content. Utility trench backfill in structural areas, such as
pavements, may also need to be dried before it can be adequately compacted. Improper
compaction of backfill in utility trenches and around control structures is a common reason for
pavement distress and failures. Imported granular fill will be needed wherever it Is not possible to
dry the on -site soils sufficiently before compaction.
The erosion control measures needed during the site development will depend heavily on the
weather conditions that are encountered. While site clearing will expose a large area of bare soil,
the erosion potential on the site is relatively low due to the gentle slope of the ground. We
anticipate that a silt fence will be needed around the downslope sides of any cleared areas.
Rocked construction access roads should be extended into the site to reduce the amount of soil or
mud carried off the property by trucks and equipment. Wherever possible, these roads should
follow the alignment of planned pavements, and trucks should not be allowed to drive off of,the
rock -covered areas. Existing catch basins in, and immediately downslope of, the planned work
areas should be protected with pre -manufactured silt socks. Cut slopes and soil stockpiles should
be covered with plastic during wet weather. Following rough grading, it may be necessary to mulch
or hydroseed bare areas that will not.be immediately covered with landscaping or an impervious
surface.
The drainage and/or waterproofing recommendations presented in this report are intended only to
prevent active seepage from flowing through concrete walls or slabs. Even in the absence of active
seepage into and beneath structures, water vapor can migrate through walls, slabs, and floors from
the surrounding soil, and can even be transmitted from slabs and foundation walls due to the
concrete curing process. Water vapor also results from occupant uses, such as cooking and
bathing. Excessive water vapor trapped within structures can result in a variety of undesirable
conditions, including, but not limited to, moisture problems with flooring systems, excessively moist
air within occupied areas, and the growth of molds, fungi, and other biological organisms that may
be harmful to the health of the occupants. The designer or architect must consider the potential
vapor sources and likely occupant uses, and provide sufficient ventilation, either passive or
mechanical, to prevent a build up of excessive water vapor within the planned structure.
Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be allowed to review the final development plans to veffy that the
recommendations presented in this report are adequately addressed in the design. Such a plan

review would be additional work beyond the current scope of work for this study, and it may include
revisions to our recommendations to accommodate site, development, and geotechnical
constraints that become more evident during the review process.
We recommend including this report, in its entirety, in the project contract documents. This report
should also be provided to any future property owners so they will be aware of our findings and
recommendations.
SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
In accordance with Table 1613.5.2 of the 2006 International Building Code (IBC), the site soil
profile within 100 feet of the ground surface is best represented by Soil Profile Type C (Very Dense
Soil and Soft Rock). Under the 2003 International Building Code (IBC) the Soil Class would be C.
The site soils are not susceptible to seismic liquefaction because of their dense nature.
CONVENTIONAL FOUNDATIONS
The proposed structure can be supported on conventional continuous and spread footings bearing
on undisturbed, medium -dense, native soil, or on structural fill placed above this competent, native
soil. See the section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill for recommendations
regarding the placement and compaction of structural fill beneath structures. Adequate
compacton of structural fill should be verified with frequent density testing during fill placement.
Prior to placing structural fill beneath foundations, the excavation should be observed by the
geotechnical engineer to document that adequate bearing soils have been exposed. We
recommend that continuous and individual spread footings have minimum widths of 16 and 24
inches, respectively. Exterior footings should also be bottomed at least 18 inches below the lowest
adjacent finish ground surface for protection against frost and erosion. The local building codes
should be reviewed to determine if different footing widths or embedment depths are required.
Footing subgrades must be cleaned of loose or disturbed soil prior to pouring concrete. Depending
upon site and equipment constraints, this may require removing the disturbed soil by hand.
Depending on the final site grades, overexcavation may be required below the footings to expose
competent, native soil. Unless lean concrete is used to fill an overexcavated hole, the
overexcavation must be at least as wide at the bottom as the sum of the depth of the
overexcavation and the footing width. For example, an overexcavation extending 2 feet below the
bottom of a 2-foot-wide footing must be at least 4 feet wide at the base of the excavation. If lean
concrete is used, the overexcavation need only extend 6 inches beyond the edges of the footing.
An allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf) is appropriate for footings
supported on medium -dense, native soil or structural fill placed above medium -dense, native soil.
A one-third increase in this design bearing pressure may be used when considering short-term
wind or seismic loads. For the above design criteria, it is anticipated that the total post -construction
settlement of footings founded on competent, native soil, or on structural fill up to 5 feet in
thickness, will be about one-half inch, with differential settlements on the order of one -quarter inch
in a distance of 50 feet along a continuous footing with a uniform load.
L . ateral loads due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by friction between the foundation and
the bearing soil, or by passive earth pressure acting on the vertical, embedded portions of the
foundation. For the latter condition, the foundation must be either poured directly against relatively

level, undisturbed soil or be surrounded by level structural fill. We recommend using the following
ultimate values for the foundation's resistance to lateral loading:
IJ1,111NIA111,
PARAMETER VAJ,UE
o clent of Friction 0.45
Passive Earth Pressure 350 pcf
Where: (1) pcf Is pounds per cubic foot, and (11) passive earth
pressure is computed using the equivalent fluid density.
PERMANENT FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls backfilled on only one side should be designed to resist the lateral earth pressures
imposed by the soil they retain. The following recommended parameters are for walls that restrain
level backfill:
PARAMETER
Active Earth Pressure
VALUE
35 pcf
Passive Earth Pressure
350 pcf
Coefficient of Friction
0.45
Soil Unit Weight
130 pcf
Where: (1) pof Is pounds per cubic foot, and (11) active and
passive earth pressures are computed using the equivalent fluid
pressures.
* For a restrained wall that cannot deflect at least 0.002 times its
height, a uniform lateral pressure equal to 10 psf times the height
of the wall should be added to the above active equivalent fluid
pressure.
The values given above are to be used to design permanent foundation and retaining walls only. It
is not appropriate to ' back -calculate soil strength parameters from the earth pressures and soil unit
weights presented in the table. The passive pressure given is appropriate for the depth of level
structural fill placed in front of a retaining or foundation wall only, The values for friction and
passive resistance are ultimate values and do not include a safety factor. We recommend a safety
factor of at least 1.5 for overturning and sliding, when using the above values to design the walls.
Restrained wall soil parameters should be utilized for a distance of 1.5 times the wall height from
corners or bends in the Walls. This is intended to reduce the amount of cracking that can occur
where a wall is restrained by a corner.
The design values given above do not include the effects of any hydrostatic pressures behind the
walls and assume that no surcharges, such as those caused by slopes, vehicles, or adjacent
foundations will be exerted on the walls. If these conditions exist, those pressures should be added
to the above lateral soil pressures. Where sloping backfill is desired behind the walls, we will need
to be given the wall dimensions and the slope of the backfill in order to provide the appropriate
design earth pressures.

Heavy construction equipment should not be operated behind retaining and foundation walls within
a distance equal to the height of a wall, unless the walls are designed for the additional lateral
pressures resulting from the equipment. The wall design criteria assume that the backfill will be
well -compacted in lifts no thicker than 12 inches. The compaction of backfill near the walls should
be accomplished with hand -operated equipment to prevent the walls from being overloaded by the
higher soil forces that occur during compaction.
Retaining Wall Backrill
Backfill placed behind retaining or foundation walls should be coarse, free -draining
structural fill containing no organics. This backfill should contain no more than 5 percent silt
or clay particles and have no gravel greater than 4 inches in diameter. The percentage of
particles passing the No. 4 sieve should be between 25 and 70 percent. If the native silty
sand is used as backfill, a drainage composite similar to Miradrain 6000 should be placed
against the backfilled retaining walls. The drainage composites should be hydraulically
connected to the foundation drain system. Free -draining backfill or gravel should be used
for the entire width of the backfill where seepage Is encountered. For increased protection,
drainage composites should be placed along cut slope faces, and the walls should be
backfilied entirely with free -draining soil. The later section entitled Drainage
Considerations should also be reviewed for recommendations related to subsurface
drainage behind foundation and retaining walls.
The purpose of these backfill requirements is to ensure that the design criteria for a
retaining wall are not exceeded because of a build-up of hydrostatic pressure behind the
wall. The top 12 to 18 inches of the backfill should consist of a compacted, relatively
impermeable soil or topsoil, or the surface should be paved. The ground surface must also
slope away from backfilled walls to reduce the potential for surface water to percolate into
the backfill. The section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill contains
recommendations regarding the placement and compaction of structural fill behind retaining
and foundation walls.
The above recommendations are not intended to waterproof below -grade walls, or to
prevent the formation of mold, mildew or fungi in interior spaces. Over time, the
performance of subsurface drainage systems c ' an degrade, subsurface groundwater flow
patterns can change, and utilities can break or develop leaks. Therefore, waterproofing
should be provided where future seepage through the walls is not acceptable. This typically
includes limiting cold -joints and wall penetrations, and using bentonite products, spray -on
liners, or membranes on the outside of the walls. Applying a thin coat of asphalt emulsion to
the outside face of a wall Is not considered waterproofing, and will only help to reduce
moisture generated from water vapor or capillary action from seeping through the concrete.
As with any project, adequate ventilation of basement and crawl space areas is important to
prevent a build up of water vapor that is commonly transmitted through concrete walls from
the surrounding soil, even when seepage is not present. This is appropriate even when
waterproofing' is applied to the outside of foundation and retaining walls. The choice of an
appropriate waterproofing system depends on the specific site conditions, the intended
construction and use for the project, and the expectations of the end user. We recommend
that you contact a specialty consultant if detailed recommendations or specifications related
to waterproofing design and/or minimizing the potential for infestations of mold and mildew
are desired. Waterproofing materials and systems should also be evaluated and installed

by an experienced contractor familiar with the anticipated construction and subsurface
conditions.
SLABS -ON -GRADE
The building floors can be constructed as slabs -on -grade atop competent native soils, or on
structural fill. The subgrade soil must be in a firm, non -yielding condition at the time of slab
construction or underslab fill placement. Any soft areas encountered should be excavated and
replaced with select, imported structural fill.
Even where the exposed soils appear dry, water vapor will tend to naturally migrate upward through
the soil to the new constructed space above it. All interior slabs -on -grade must be underlain by a
capillary break or drainage layer consisting of a minimum 4-inch thickness of gravel or crushed
rock that has a fines content (percent passing the No. 200 sieve) of less than 3 percent and a sand
content (percent passing the No. 4 sieve) of no more than 10 percent. As noted by the American
Concrete Institute (ACI) in the Guides for Concrete Floor and Slab Structures, proper moisture
protection is desirable immediately below any on -grade slab that will be covered by tile, wood,
carpet, impermeable floor coverings, or any moisture -sensitive equipment or products. ACI also
notes that vapor retarders, such as 6-mil plastic sheeting, are typically used. A vapor retarder is
defined as a material with a permeance of less than 0.3 US perms per square foot (psf) per hour,
as determined by ASTM E 96. It is possible that concrete admixtures may meet this specification,
although the manufacturers of the admixtures should be consulted. Where plastic sheeting is used
under slabs, joints should overlap by at least 6 inches and be sealed with adhesive tape. The
sheeting should- extend- to the -foundation walls for maximum -vapor- protection.- If no potential for
vapor passage through the slab is desired, a vapor barrier should be used. A vapor barrier, as
defined by ACI, is a product with a water transmission rate of 0.00 perms per square foot per hour
when tested in accordance with ASTM E 96. Reinforced membranes having sealed overlaps can
meet this requirement.
In the recent past, ACI (Section 4.1.5) recommended that a minimum of 4 inches of well -graded
compactable granular material, such as a 5/8 inch minus crushed rock pavement base, should be
placed over the vapor retarder or barrier for protection of the retarder or barrier and as a "blotter' to
aid in the curing of the concrete slab. Sand was not recommended by ACI for this purpose.
However, the use of material over the vapor retarder is controversial as noted in Curren ' t ACI
literature because of the potential that the protection/blotter material can become wet between the
time of its placement and the installation of the slab. If the material is wet prior to slab placement,
which is always possible in the Puget Sound area, it could cause vapor transmission to occur up
through the slab in the future, essentially destroying the purpose of the vapor barrier/retarder.
Therefore, if there is a potential that the protection/blotter material will become wet before the slab
is installed, ACI now recommends that no protection/blotter material be used. However, ACI then
recommends that, because there is a potential for slab cure due to the loss of the blotter material,
joint spacing in the slab be reduced, a low shrinkage concrete mixture be used, and "other
measures" (steel reinforcing, etc.) be used. ASTM E-1643-98 "Standard Practice for Installation of
Water Vapor Retarders Used in Contact with Earth or Granular Fill Under Concrete Slabs"
generally agrees with the recent ACI literature.
We recommend that the contractor, the project materials engineer, and the owner discuss these
issues and review recent ACI literature and ASTM E-1643 for installation guidelines and guidance
on the use of the protection/blotter material. Our opinion is that with impervious surfaces that all
means should be undertaken to reduce water vapor transmission.

We recommend proof -rolling slab areas with a heavy truck or a large piece of construction
equipment prior to slab construction. Any soft areas encountered during proof -rolling should be
excavated and replaced with select, imported structural fill.
ROCKERIES
We anticipate that rockeries may be used in the site development. A rockery is,not intended to
function as an engineered structure to resist lateral earth pressures, as a retaining wall would do.
The primary function of a rockery is to cover the exposed, excavated surface and thereby retard
the erosion process. We recommend limiting rockeries to an exposed height of 6 feet and placing
them against only dense, competent, native soil. The lower 12 inches of any rockery must be
embedded below the finish grade that will exist at the face of the rockery. Rockeries that are taller
than 8 feet, or that are placed in front of loose soil or in areas of compacted fill will require
additional engineering.
The construction of rockeries is, to a large extent, an art not entirely controllable by engineering
methods and standards. It is imperative that rockeries, if used, are constructed with care and in a
proper manner by an experienced contractor with proven ability in rockery construction. The
rockeries should be constructed with hard, sound, durable rock in accordance with accepted local
practice and City of Edmonds standards. In general, the lowest two rows of rocks should have a
minimum depth (as measured perpendicular to the rockery's face) of 1/3 of the rockery's height.
Soft rock, or rock with a significant number of fractures or inclusions, should not be used, in order
to limit the amount of maintenance and repair needed over time. Provisions for maintenance, such
as access to the rockery, should be considered in the design. In general, we recommend that
rockeries have a minimum dimension of one-third the height of the slope cut above them. Tiered
rockedes,are not recommended, unless there is sufficient space to construct upper tiers that do not
exert lateral pressure on the lower tiers. The base of a tiered rockery's upper wall should be set
back from the rear of the lower rocks an amount equal to the height of the lower tiers.
EXCA VA TIONS AND SLOPES
Excavation slopes should not exceed the limits specified in local, state, and national government
safety regulations. Temporary cuts to a depth of about 4 feet may be attempted vertically in
unsaturated soil, if there are no indications of slope instability. However, vertical cuts should not be
made, near property boundaries, or existing utilities and structures. Based upon Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) 296, Part N, the soil at the subject site would generally be classified as
Type B. Therefore, temporary cut slopes greater than 4 feet in height should not be excavated at
an inclination steeper than 1:1 (Horizontal:Vertical) extending continuously between the top and the
bottom of a cut.
The above -recommended temporary slope inclinations are based on the conditions exposed in our
explorations, and on what has been successful at other sites with similar soil conditions. It is
possible that variations in soil and groundwater conditions will require modifications to the
inclination at which temporary slopes can stand. Temporary cuts are those that w! ' 11 remain
unsupported for a relatively short duration to allow for the construction of foundations, retaining
walls, or utilities. Temporary cut slopes should be protected with plastic sheeting during wet
weather. It is also important that surface water be directed away from temporary slope cuts. The
cut slopes should also be backfilled or retained as soon as possible to reduce the potential for

instability. Please note that loose soil can cave suddenly and without warning. Excavation,
foundation, and utility contractors should be made especially aware of this potential danger. These
recommendations may need to be modified if the area near the potential cuts has been disturbed in
the past by utility installation, or if settlement -sensitive utilities are located nearby.
All permanent cuts into native soil should be inclined no steeper than 2:1 (H:V). Water should not
be allowed to flow uncontrolled over the top of any temporary or permanent slope. All permanently
exposed slopes should be seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to reduce erosion and
improve the stability of the surficial layer of soil.
DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Foundation drains should be used at the base of all foundation walls and earth -retaining walls .
These drains should be surrounded by at least 6 inches of 1-inch-minus, washed rock and then
wrapped in non -woven, geotextile filter fabric (Mirafi 140N, Supac 4NP, or similar -material). At its
highest point, a perforated pipe invert should be at least 6 inches below the bottom of a slab floor
or the level of a crawl space, and it should be sloped for drainage. All roof and surface water
drains must be kept separate from the foundation drain system. A typical drain detail is attached to
this report as Plate 5. For the -best long-term performance, perforated PVC pipe is recommended
for all subsurface drains.
As a minimum, a vapor retarder, as defined in the Slabs -On -Grade section, should be provided in
any crawl space area to limit the transmission of water vapor from the underlying soils. Also, an
outlet drain is recommended for all crawl spaces to prevent a build up of any water that may
bypass the footing drains.
No groundwater was observed during our field work. If seepage is encountered in an excavation, it
should be drained from the site by directing it through drainage ditches, perforated pipe, or French
drains, or by pumping it from sumps interconnected by shallow connector trenches at the bottom of
the excavation.
The excavation and site should be graded so that surface water Is directed off the site and away
from the tops of slopes. Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where foundations,
slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. Final site grading in areas adjacent to a building should
slope away at least 2 percent, except where the area is paved. Surface drains should be provided
where necessary to prevent ponding of water behind foundation or retaining walls.
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND STRUCTURAL FILL
All building and pavement areas should be stripped of surface vegetation, topsoil, organic soil, and
other deleterious material. it is important that existing foundations be removed before site
development. The stripped or removed materials should not be mixed with any materials to be
used as structural fill, but they could be used in non-structural areas, such as landscape beds.
Structural fill is defined as any fill, including utility backfill, placed under, or close to, a building,
behind permanent retaining or foundation walls, or in other areas where the underlying soil needs
to support loads. All structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts with a moisture content at, or
near, the optimum moisture content. The optimum moisture content is that moisture content that
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC.
Real Property Associates
October 5, 2007
JN 07328
Page 10
results in the greatest compacted'dry density. The moisture content of fill is very important and
must be closely controlled during the filling and compaction process.
The allowable thickness of the fill lift will depend on the material type selected, the compaction
equipment used, and the number of passes made to compact the lift. The loose lift thickness
should not exceed 12 inches. We recommend testing the fill as it is placed. If the fill is not
sufficiently compacted, it can be recompacted before another lift is placed. This eliminates the
need to remove the fill to achieve the required compaction. The following table presents
recommended relative compactions for structural fill:
Beneath footings, slabs 95%
or walkways
Filled slopes and behind 90%
retaining walls
95% for upper 12 inches of
Beneath pavements subgrade; 90% below that
level
Where: Minimum Relative Compaction Is the ratio, expressed In
percentages, of the compacted dry density to the maximum dry
density, as determined In accordance with ASTM Test
Designation D 1557-91 (Modified Proctor).
Use of On-SitG Soil
If grading activities take place during wet weather, or when the silty, on -site soil is wet, site
preparation costs may be higher because of delays due to rain and the potential need to
import granular fill. The on -site soil is generally silty and therefore moisture sensitive.
Grading operations will be difficult during wet weather, or when the moisture content of this
soil exceeds the optimum moisture content.
The moisture content of the silty, on -site soil must be at, or near, the optimum moisture
content, as the soil cannot be consistently compacted to the required density when the
moisture content is significantly greater than optimum. The on -site silty sands underlying
the topsoil could be used as structural fill, if grading operations are conducted during dry
weather. During excessively hot, dry weather, however, It may be necessary to add water
to achieve the optimum moisture content.
Moisture -sensitive soil may also be susceptible to excessive softening and "pumping" from
construction equipment, or even foot traffic, when the moisture content is greater than the
optimum moisture content. It may be beneficial to protect subgrades with a layer of
imported sand or crushed rock to limit disturbance from traffic.
The General section should be reviewed for considerations related to the reuse of on -site soils.
Structural fill that will be placed in wet weather should consist of a coarse, granular soil with a slit or
clay content of no more than 5 percent. The percentage of particles passing the No. 200 sieve
should be measured from that portion of soil passing the three -quarter -inch sieve.

The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site conditions as
they existed at the time of our exploration and assume that the soil and groundwater conditions
encountered in the test pits are representative of subsurface conditions on the site. If the
subsurface conditions encountered during construction are significantly different from those
observed in our explorations, we should be advised at once so that we can review these conditions
and reconsider our recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated soil conditions are
commonly encountered on construction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking soil
samples in test pits. Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such
unexpected conditions frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly
constructed project. It is recommended that the owner consider providing a contingency fund to
accommodate such potential extra costs and risks. This is a standard recommendation for all
projects.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the Real Property Associates, and its
representatives, for specific application to this project and site. Our recommendations and
conclusions are based on observed site materials. Our conclusions and recommendations are
professional opinions derived in accordance with current standards of practice within the scope of
our services and within budget and time constraints. No warranty is expressed or implied. The
scope of our services does not include services related to construction safety precautions, and our
recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures, except as specifically described in our report for consideration in design. Our services
also do not include assessing or minimizing the potential for biological hazards, such as mold,
bacteria, mildew and fungi in either the existing or proposed site development.
ADDITIONAL SERMES
Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be retained to provide geotechnical consultation, testing, and
observation services during construction. This is to confirm that subsurface conditions are
consistent with those indicated by our exploration, to evaluate whether earthwork and foundation
construction activities comply with the general intent of the recommendations presented in this
report, and to provide suggestions for design changes in the event subsurface conditions differ
from those anticipated prior to the start of construction. However, our work would not include the
supervision or direction of the actual work of the contractor and its employees or agents. Also, job
and site safety, and dimensional measurements, will be the responsibility of the contractor.
During the construction phase, we will provide geotechnical observation and testing services when
requested by you or your representatives. Please be aware that we can only document site work
we actually observe. It is still the responsibility of your contractor or on -site construction team to
verify that our recommendations are being followed, whether we are present at the site or not.
The scope of our work did not include an environmental assessment, but we can provide this
service, if requested.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Proposed Townhouse Development
23820 Edmonds Way
Edmonds, Washington
This report presents the findings and recommendations of our geotechnical engineering study for
the site of the proposed townhouses to be located in Edmonds, Washington.
We did not review complete building plans for the development, but based on the conceptual site
plan provided (Morgan Design Group — dated 2/15/07), we understand that the project will involve
the construction of 35 townhomes in 13 buildings on the site. No basements are anticipated and
finished floor elevations are assumed to be within a few feet of the existing site grades.
If the scope of the project changes from what we have described above, we should be provided
with revised plans in order to determine if modifications to the recommendations and conclusions of
this report are warranted.
SITE CONDITIO
SURFACE
The Vicinity Map, Plate 1, illustrates the general location of the site. The irregular -shaped, 1.27-
acre property features about 250 feet of frontage along Edmonds Way to the northeast. The site is
currently developed with six duplex/triplex apartment buildings with shallow crawlspaces or slab
floors. The areas around the buildings are on -grade drives, parking, and landscaped beds. There
is approximately 4 feet of fall across the site and the subject property is generally on -grade with the
adjacent properties to the north and south.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface conditions were explored by excavating four test pits at the approximate locations
shown on the Site Exploration Plan, Plate 2. Our exploration program was based on site access,
the proposed construction, anticipated subsurface conditions and those encountered during
exploration, and the scope of work outlined in our proposal.
The test pits were excavated on October 3, 2007 with a rubber -tracked backhoe operated by your
personnel. A geotechnical engineer from our staff observed the excavation process, logged the
test pits, and obtained representative samples of the soil encountered. "Grab" samples of selected
subsurface soil were collected from the backhoe bucket. The Test Pit Logs are attached to this
report as Plate 3.
SoH Conditions
The test pits conducted on the site encountered topsoil overlying 2.5 to 4.5 feet of loose to
medium -dense, silty sands (weathered soils or old fill) overlying less weathered, medium -
dense to dense, native sands. These sands were, in turn, underlain by very dense, silty
sands. The non -weathered, dense to very dense, glacially -consolidated mixture of sand, silt
and gravel (Glacial Till) was encountered in Test Pits 1 and 3 at 8 to 8.5 feet below grade.

Real Property Associates
October 5, 2007
JN 07328
Page 2
Due to the groundwater encountered in Test Pit 4, the interface of the sands and silty sands
would be anticipated to be close to the bottom of this pit.
No obstructions were revealed by our explorations. However, debris, buried utilities, and old
foundation and slab elements are commonly encountered on sites that have had previous
development. Although our explorations did not encounter cobbles or boulders, they are
often found in soils that have been deposited by glaciers or fast-moving water.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater seepage was observed in Test Pit 4 at approximately 6 feet below the existing
grade. Groundwater levels vary seasonally with rainfall and other factors. During the wetter
winter months, we anticipate that groundwater could be found in more permeable soil
layers, pockets within the till, and perched between the near -surface weathered soil and the
underlying glacial till.
The stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types at the
exploration locations. The actual transition between soil types may be gradual, and subsurface
conditions can vary between exploration locations. The logs provide specific subsurface
information only at the locations tested. The relative densities and moisture descriptions indicated
on the test pits are interpretive descriptions based on the conditions observed during excavation.
The compaction of backfill was not in the scope of our services. Loose soil will therefore be found
in the area of the test pits. If this presents a problem, the backfill will need to be removed and
replaced with structural fill during construction.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
THIS SECTION CONTAINS A SUMMARY OF OUR STUDY AND FINDINGS FOR THE PURPOSES OF A
GENERAL OVERVIEW ONLY. MORE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS ARE
CONTAINED IN THE REMAINDER OF THIS REPORT. ANY PARTY RELYING ON THIS REPORT SHOULD
READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT
The test pits conducted for this study encountered medium -dense or denser native sand at depths
ranging from 1 to 4.5 feet below the existing grade. Based on these findings, it is our opinion that
the proposed buildings can be supported by conventional spread and continuous foundations bear-
ing directly on medium -dense, native soils or on structural fill placed above medium -dense, native
soil. During wet weather, it may be prudent to cover the bearing surfaces with a 3- to 4-inch thick
protective rock mat to prevent disturbance from foot traffic during formwork. The protective mat
should consist of clean crushed rock or clean, recycled concrete. The rock mat will likely not be
necessary during dry weather.
The dense, silty sand soils that underlie the shallow, sandy soils at the site are not suitable for
infiltration of stormwater due to their low permeability. Furthermore, groundwater was encountered
in one of the test pits and relatively shallow, -perched groundwater would be anticipated to occur
between the sands and the underlying denser, silty soils following general wet weather or heavy
rain events.

Storm detention/retention facilities and other utilities are often installed below, or near, structures.
The walls of storm vaults must be designed as either cantilever or restrained retaining walls, as
appropriate. Wall pressures for the expected soil conditions are presented in the Permanent
Foundation and Retaining Walls section of this report. It is important that the portion of the
structure above the permanent detained water level be backfilled with free -draining soil, as
recommended for retaining walls. Should drainage not be provided, the walls must be designed for
hydrostatic forces acting on the outside of the structure. The backfill for all underground structures
must be compacted in lifts according to the criteria in the previous section of this report. Trenches
for underground structures and utilities should not cross a line extending downwards from a new or
existing footing at an inclination of (1:1) (Horizontal:Vertical), or a line extending downwards from a
property line at an inclination of (1:1) (H:V). We should be consulted if these excavation zones will
be exceeded for installation of storm facilities or other utilities.
A geotechnical consideration for development of this site is the high silt content of some of the
native soils. The fine-grained,. silty soils are sensitive to moisture, which makes them impossible to
adequately compact when they have moisture contents even 2 to 3 percent above their optimum
moisture content. The reuse of these soils as structural fill will only be successful during dry
weather. The earthwork contractor must be prepared to rework areas that do not achieve proper
compaction due to high moisture content. Utility trench backfill in structural areas, such as
pavements, may also need to be dried before it can be adequately compacted. Improper
compaction of backfill in utility trenches and around control structures is a common reason for
pavement distress and failures. Imported granular fill will be needed wherever it Is not possible to
dry the on -site soils sufficiently before compaction.
The erosion control measures needed during the site development will depend heavily on the
weather conditions that are encountered. While site clearing will expose a large area of bare soil,
the erosion potential on the site is relatively low due to the gentle slope of the ground. We
anticipate that a silt fence will be needed around the downslope sides of any cleared areas.
Rocked construction access roads should be extended into the site to reduce the amount of soil or
mud carried off the property by trucks and equipment. Wherever possible, these roads should
follow the alignment of planned pavements, and trucks should not be allowed to drive off of,the
rock -covered areas. Existing catch basins in, and immediately downslope of, the planned work
areas should be protected with pre -manufactured silt socks. Cut slopes and soil stockpiles should
be covered with plastic during wet weather. Following rough grading, it may be necessary to mulch
or hydroseed bare areas that will not.be immediately covered with landscaping or an impervious
surface.
The drainage and/or waterproofing recommendations presented in this report are intended only to
prevent active seepage from flowing through concrete walls or slabs., Even in the absence of active
seepage into and beneath structures, water vapor can migrate through walls, slabs, and floors from
the surrounding soil, and can even be transmitted from slabs and foundation walls due to the
concrete curing process. Water vapor also results from occupant uses, such as cooking and
bathing. Excessive water vapor trapped within structures can result in a variety of undesirable
conditions, including, but not limited to, moisture problems with flooring systems, excessively moist
air within occupied areas, and the growth of molds, fungi, and other biological organisms that may
be harmful to the health of the occupants. The designer or architect must consider the potential
vapor sources and likely occupant uses, and provide sufficient ventilation, either passive or
mechanical, to prevent a build up of excessive water vapor within the planned structure.
Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be allowed to review the final development plans to verify that the
recommendations presented in this report are adequately addressed in the design. Such a plan

review would be additional work beyond the current scope of work for this study, and it may include
revisions to our recommendations to accommodate site, development, and geotechnical
constraints that become more evident during the review process.
We recommend including this report, in its entirety, in the project contract documents. This report
should also be provided to any future property owners so they will be aware of our findings and
recommendations.
SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
In accordance with Table 1613.5.2 of the 2006 International Building Code (IBC), the site soil
profile within 100 feet of the ground surface is best represented by Soil Profile Type C (Very Dense
Soil and Soft Rock). Under the 2003 International Building Code (IBC) the Soil Class would be C.
The site soils are not susceptible to seismic liquefaction because of their dense nature.
CONVENTIONAL FOUNDATIONS
The proposed structure can be supported on conventional continuous and spread footings bearing
on undisturbed, medium -dense, native soil, or on structural fill placed above this competent, native
soil. See the section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill for recommendations
regarding the placement and compaction of structural fill beneath structures. Adequate
compaction of structural fill should be verified with frequent density testing during fill placement.
Prior to placing structural fill beneath foundations, the excavation should be observed by the
geotechnical engineer to document that adequate bearing soils have been exposed. We
recommend that continuous and individual spread footings have minimum widths of 16 and 24
inches, respectively. Exterior footings should also be bottomed at least 18 inches below the lowest
adjacent finish ground surface for protection against frost and erosion. The local building codes
should be reviewed to determine if different footing widths or embedment depths are required.
Footing subgrades must be cleaned of loose or disturbed soil prior to pouring concrete. Depending
upon site and equipment constraints, this may require removing the disturbed soil by hand.
Depending on the final site grades, overexcavation may be required below the footings to expose
competent, native soil. Unless lean concrete is used to fill an overexcavated hole, the
overexcavation must be at least as wide at the bottom as the sum of the depth of the
overexcavation and the footing width. For example, an overexcavation extending 2 feet below the
boftom of a 2-foot-wide footing must be at least 4 feet wide at the base of the excavation. If lean
concrete is used, the overexcavation need only extend 6 inches beyond the edges of the footing.
An allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf]i is appropriate for footings
supported on medium -dense, native soil or structural fill placed above medium -dense, native soil.
A one-third increase in this design bearing pressure may be used when considering short-term
wind or seismic loads. For the above design criteria, it is anticipated that the total post -construction
seftlement of footings founded on competent, native soil, or on structural fill up to 5 feet in
thickness, will be about one-half inch, with differential settlements on the order of one -quarter inch
in a distance of 50 feet along a continuous footing with a uniform load.
L . ateral loads due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by friction between the foundation and
the bearing soil, or by passive earth pressure acting on the vertical, embedded portions of the
foundation. For the latter condition, the foundation must be either poured directly against relatively

level, undisturbed soil or be surrounded by level structural fill. We recommend using the following
. ultimate values for the foundation's resistance to lateral loading:
ULTIMA11i,
PARAMETER VALUE
Coefficient of Friction 0.45
Passive Earth Pressure 350 pcf
Where: (1) pcf Is pounds per cubic foot, and (11) passive earth
pressure Is computed using the equivalent fluid density.
PERMANENT FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls backfilled on only one side should be designed to resist the lateral earth pressures
imposed by the soil they retain. The following recommended parameters are for walls that restrain
level backfill:
PARAMETER
Active Earth Pressure
VALUE
35 pcf
Passive Earth Pressure
350 pcf
Coefficient of Friction
0.45
Soil Unit Weight
130 pcf
Where: (1) pcf Is pounds per cubic foot, and (11) active and
passive earth pressures are computed using the equivalent fluid
pressures.
* For a restrained wall that cannot deflect at least 0.002 times Its
height, a uniform lateral pressure equal to 10 psf times the height
of the wall should be added to the above active equivalent fluid
pressure.
The values given above are to be used to design permanent foundation and retaining walls only. It
is not appropriate to back -calculate soil strength parameters from the earth pressures and soil unit
weights presented in the table. The passive pressure given is appropriate for the depth of level
structural fill placed in front of a retaining or foundation wall only. The values for friction and
passive resistance are ultimate values and do not include a safety factor. We recommend a safety
factor of at least 1.5 for overturning and sliding, when using the above values to design the walls.
Restrained wall soil parameters should be utilized for a distance of 1.5 times the wall height from
corners or bends in the walls. This is intended to reduce the amount of cracking that can occur
where a wall is restrained by a corner.
The design values given above do not include the effects of any hydrostatic pressures behind the
walls and assume that no surcharges, such as those caused by slopes, -vehicles, or adjacent
foundations will be exerted on the walls. If these conditions exist, those pressures should be added
to the above lateral soil pressures. Where sloping backfill is desired behind the walls, we will need
to be given the wall dimensions and the slope of the backfill in order to provide the appropriate
design earth pressures.

Heavy construction equipment should not be operated behind retaining and foundation walls within
a distance equal to the height of a wall, unless the walls are designed for the additional lateral
pressures resulting from the equipment. The wall design criteria assume that the backfill will be
well -compacted in lifts no thicker than 12 inches. The compaction of backfill near the walls should
be accomplished with hand -operated equipment to prevent the walls from being overloaded by the
higher soil forces that occur during compaction.
Retaining Wall Backrill
Backfill placed behind retaining or foundation walls should be coarse, free -draining
structural fill containing no organics. This backfill should contain no more than 5 percent silt
or clay particles and have no gravel greater than 4 inches in diameter. The percentage of
particles passing the No. 4 sieve should be between 25 and 70 percent. If the native silty
sand is used as backfill, a drainage composite similar to Miradrain 6000 should be placed
against the backfilled retaining walls. The drainage composites should be hydraulically
connected to the foundation drain system. Free -draining backfill or gravel should be used
for the entire width of the backfill where seepage is encountered. For increased protection,
drainage composites should be placed along cut slope faces, and the walls should be
backfilled entirely with free -draining soil. The later section entitled Drainage
Considerations should also be reviewed for recommendations related to subsurface
drainage behind foundation and retaining walls.
The purpose of these backfill requirements is to ensure that the design criteria for a
retaining wall are not exceeded because of a build-up of hydrostatic pressure behind the
wall. The top 12 to 18 inches of the backfill should consist of a compacted, relatively
impermeable soil or topsoil, or the surface should be paved. The ground surface must also
slope away from backfilled walls to reduce the potential for surface water to percolate into
the backfill. The section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill contains
recommendations regarding the placement and compaction of structural fill behind retaining
and foundation walls.
The above recommendations are not intended to waterproof below -grade walls, or to
prevent the formation of mold, mildew or fungi in interior spaces. Over time, the
performance of subsurface drainage systems c * an degrade, subsurface groundwater flow
patterns can change, and utilities can break or develop leaks. Therefore, waterproofing
should be provided where future seepage through the walls is not acceptable. This typically
includes limiting cold -joints and wall penetrations, and using bentonite products, spray -on
liners, or membranes on the outside of the walls. Applying a thin coat of asphalt emulsion to
the outside face of a wall is not considered waterproofing, and will only help to reduce
moisture generated from water vapor or capillary action from seeping through the concrete.
As with any project, adequate ventilation of basement and crawl space areas is important to
prevent a build up of water vapor that is commonly transmitted through concrete walls from
the surrounding soil, even when seepage is not present. This is appropriate even when
waterproofing is applied to the outside of foundation and retaining walls. The choice of an
appropriate waterproofing system depends on the specific site conditions, the intended
construction and use for the project, and the expectations of the end user. We recommend
that you contact a specialty consultant if detailed recommendations or specifications related
to waterproofing design and/or minimizing the potential for infestations of mold and mildew
are desired. Waterproofing materials and systems should also be evaluated and installed

by an experienced contractor familiar with the anticipated construction and subsurface
conditions.
SLABS -ON -GRADE
The building floors can be constructed as slabs -on -grade atop competent native soils, or on
structural fill. The subgrade soil must be in a firm, non -yielding condition at the time of slab
construction or underslab fill placement. Any soft areas encountered should be excavated and
replaced with select, imported structural fill.
Even where the exposed soils appear dry, water vapor will tend to naturally migrate upward through
the soil to the new constructed space above it. All interior slabs -on -grade must be underlain by a
capillary break or drainage layer consisting of a minimum 4-inch thickness of gravel or crushed
rock that has a fines content (percent passing the No. 200 sieve) of less than 3 percent and a sand
content (percent passing the No. 4 sieve) of no more than 10 percent. As noted by the American
Concrete Institute (ACI) in the Guides for Concrete Floor and Slab Structures, proper moisture
protection is desirable immediately below any on -grade slab that will be covered by tile, wood,
carpet, impermeable floor coverings, or any moisture -sensitive equipment or products. ACI also
notes that vapor retarders, such as 6-mil plastic sheeting, are typically used. A vapor retarder is
defined as a material with a permeance of less than 0.3 US perms per square foot (psf) per hour,
as determined by ASTM E 96. It is possible that concrete admixtures may meet this specification,
although the manufacturers of the admixtures should be consulted. Where plastic sheeting is used
under slabs, joints should overlap by at least 6 inches and be sealed with adhesive tape. The,
-sheeting should extend to the -foundation walls. for maximum -vapor- protection.- If no potential for
vapor passage through the slab is desired, a vapor barrier should be used. A vapor barrier, as
defined by ACI, is a product with a water transmission rate of 0.00 perms per square foot per hour
when tested in accordance with ASTM E 96. Reinforced membranes having sealed overlaps can
meet this requirement.
In the recent past, ACI (Section 4.1.5) recommended that a minimum of 4 inches of well -graded
compactable granular material, such as a 5/8 inch minus crushed rock pavement base, should be
placed over the vapor retarder or barrier for protection of the retarder or barrier and as a "blotter" to
aid in the curing of the concrete slab. Sand was not recommended by ACI for this purpose.
However, the use of material over the vapor retarder is controversial as noted in current ACI
literature because of the potential that the protection/blotter material can become wet between the
time of its placement and the installation of the slab. If the material is wet prior to slab placement,
which is always possible in the Puget Sound area, it could cause vapor transmission to occur up
through the slab in the future, essentially destroying the purpose of the vapor barrier/retarder.
Therefore, if there is a potential that the protection/blofter material will become wet before the slab
is installed, ACI now recommends that no protection/blotter material be used. However, ACI then
recommends that, because there is a potential for slab cure due to the loss of the blotter material,
joint spacing in the slab be reduced, a low shrinkage concrete mixture be used, and "other
measures" (steel reinforcing, etc.) be used. ASTM E-1643-98 "Standard Practice for Installation of
Water Vapor Retarders Used in Contact with Earth or Granular Fill Under Concrete Slabs"
generally agrees with the recent ACI literature.
We recommend that the contractor, the project materials engineer, and the owner discuss these
issues and review recent ACI literature and ASTM E-1643 for installation guidelines and guidance
on the use of the protection/blofter material. Our opinion is that with impervious surfaces that all
means should be undertaken to reduce water vapor transmission.

We recommend proof -rolling slab areas with a heavy truck or a large piece of construction
equipment prior to slab construction. Any soft areas encountered during proof -rolling should be
excavated and replaced with select, imported structural fill.
ROCKERIES
We anticipate that rookeries may be used in the site development. A rookery is not intended to
function as an engineered structure to resist lateral earth pressures, as a retaining wall would do.
The primary function of a rookery is to cover the exposed, excavated surface and thereby retard
the erosion process. We recommend limiting rookeries to an exposed height of 6 feet and placing
them against only dense, competent, native soil. The lower 12 inches of any rookery must be
embedded below the finish grade that will exist at the face of the rookery. Rookeries that are taller
than 8 feet, or that are placed in front of loose soil or in areas of compacted fill will require
additional engineering.
The construction of rookeries is, to a large extent, an art not entirely controllable by engineering
methods and standards. It is imperative that rookeries, if used, are constructed with care and in a
proper manner by an experienced contractor with proven ability in rookery construction. The
rookeries should be constructed with hard, sound, durable rock in accordance with accepted local
practice and City of Edmonds standards. In general, the lowest two rows of rocks should have a
minimum depth (as measured perpendicular to the rookery's face) of 1/3 of the rookery's height.
Soft rock, or rock with a significant number of fractures or inclusions, should not be used, in order
to limit the amount of maintenance and repair needed over time. Provisions for maintenance, such
as access to the rookery, should be considered In the design. In general, we recommend that
rookeries have a minimum dimension of one-third the height of the slope cut above them. Tiered
rockedes are not recommended, unless there is sufficient space to construct upper tiers that do not
exert lateral pressure on the lower tiers. The base of a tiered rookery's upper wall should be set
back from the rear of the lower rocks an amount equal to the height of the lower tiers.
EXCAVATIONS AND SLOPES
Excavation slopes should not exceed the limits specified in local, state, and national government
safety regulations. Temporary cuts to a depth of about 4 feet may be attempted vertically in
unsaturated soil, if there are no indications of slope instability. However, vertical cuts should not be
made near property boundaries, or existing utilities and structures.. Based upon Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) 296, Part N, the soil at the subject site would generally be classified as
Type B. Therefore, temporary cut slopes greater than 4 feet in height should not be excavated at
an inclination steeper than 1:1 (Horizontal:Vertical) extending continuously between the top and the
bottom of a cut.
The above-recorn mended temporary slope inclinations are based on the conditions exposed in our
explorations, and on what has been successful at other sites with similar soil conditions. It is
possible that variations in soil and groundwater conditions will require modifications to the
inclination at which temporary slopes can stand. Temporary cuts are those that will remain
unsupported for a relatively short duration to allow for the construction of foundations, retaining
walls, or utilities. Temporary cut slopes should be protected with plastic sheeting during wet
weather. It is also important that surface water be directed away from temporary slope cuts. The
cut slopes should also be backfilled or retained as soon as possible to reduce the potential for

instability. Please note that loose soil can cave suddenly and without warning. Excavation,
foundation, and utility contractors should be made especially aware of this potential danger. These
recommendations may need to be modified if the area near the potential cuts has been disturbed in
the past by utility installation, or if settlement -sensitive utilities are located nearby.
All permanent cuts into native soil should be inclined no steeper than 2:1 (H:V). Water should not
be allowed to flow uncontrolled over the top of any temporary or permanent slope. All permanently
exposed slopes should be seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to reduce erosion and
improve the stability of the surficial layer of soil.
DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Foundation drains should be used at the base of all foundation walls and earth -retaining walls .
These drains should be surrounded by at least 6 inches of 1-inch7Minus, washed rock and then
wrapped in non -woven, geotextile filter fabric (Mirafi 140N, Supac 4NP, or similar -material). At its
highest point, a perforated pipe invert should be at least 6 inches below the bottom of a slab floor
or the level of a crawl space, and it should be sloped for drainage. All roof and surface water
drains must be kept separate from the foundation drain system. A typical drain detail is attached to
this report as Plate 5. For the -best long-term performance, perforated PVC pipe is recommended
for all subsurface drains.
As a minimum, a vapor retarder, as defined in the Slabs -On -Grade section, should be provided in
any crawl space area to limit the transmission of water vapor from the underlying soils. Also, an
outlet drain is recommended for all crawl spaces to prevent a build up of any water that may
bypass the footing drains.
No groundwater was observed during our field work. If seepage is encountered in an excavation, it
should be drained from the site by directing it through drainage ditches, perforated pipe, or French
drains, or by pumping it from sumps interconnected by shallow connector trenches at the bottom of
the excavation.
The excavation and site should be graded so that surface water is directed off the site and away
from the tops of slopes. Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where foundations,
slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. Final site grading in areas adjacent to a building should
slope away at least 2 percent, except where the area is paved. Surface drains should be provided
where necessary to prevent ponding of water behind foundation or retaining walls.
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND STRUCTURAL FILL
All building and pavement areas should be stripped of surface vegetation, topsoil, organic soil, and
other deleterious material. it is important that existing foundations be removed before site
development. The stripped or removed materials should not be mixed with any materials to be
used as structural fill, but they could be used in non-structural areas, such as landscape beds.
Structural fill Is defined as any fill, including utility backfill, placed under, or close to, a building,
behind permanent retaining or foundation walls, or in other areas where the underlying soil needs
to support loads. All structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts with a moisture content at, or
near, the optimum moisture content. The optimum moisture content is that moisture content that
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC.
Real PropertY Associates JN 07328
October 5, 2007 Page 10
results in the greatest compacted dry density. The moisture content of fill is very important and
must be closely controlled during the filling and compaction process.
The allowable thickness of the fill lift will depend on the material type selected, the compaction
equipment used, and the number of passes made to compact the lift. The loose lift thickness
should not exceed 12 inches. We recommend testing the fill as it is placed. If the fill is not
sufficiently compacted, it can be recompacted before another lift is placed. This eliminates the
need to remove the fill to achieve the required compaction. The following table presents
recommended relative compactions for structural fill:
Beneath footings, slabs 1 95%
slopes and behind 1 90%
95% for upper 12 inches of
Beneath pavements subgrade; 90% below that
level
Where: Minimum Relative Compaction Is the ratio, expressed In
percentages, of the compacted dry density to the maximum dry
density, as determined In accordance with ASTM Test
Designation D 1557-91 (Modified Proctor).
Use of On -Site Soft
If grading activities take place during wet weather, or when the silty, on -site soil is wet, site
preparation costs may be higher because of delays due to rain and the potential need to
import granular fill. The on -site soil is generally silty and therefore moisture sensitive.
Grading operations will be difficult during wet weather, or when the moisture content of this
soil exceeds the optimum moisture content.
The moisture content of the silty, on -site soil must be at, or near, the optimum moisture
content, as the soil cannot be consistently compacted to the required density when the
moisture content is significantly greater than optimum. The on -site silty sands underlying
the topsoil could be used as structural fill, if grading operations are conducted during dry
weather. During excessively hot, dry weather, however, it may be necessary to add water
to achieve the optimum moisture content.
Moisture -sensitive soil may also be susceptible to excessive softening and "pumping" from
construction equipment, or even foot traffic, when the moisture content is greater than the
optimum moisture content. It may be beneficial to protect subgrades with a layer of
imported sand or crushed rock to limit disturbance from traffic. .
The General section should be reviewed for considerations related to the reuse of on -site soils.
Structural fill that will be placed in wet weather should consist of a coarse, granular soil with a silt or
clay content of no more than 5 percent. The percentage of particles passing the No. 200 sieve
should be measured from that portion of soil passing the three -quarter -inch sieve.

The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site conditions as
they existed at the time of our exploration and assume that the soil and groundwater conditions
encountered in the test pits are representative of subsurface conditions on the site. If the
subsurface conditions encountered during construction are significantly different from those
observed in our explorations, we should be advised at once so that we can review these conditions
and reconsider our recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated soil conditions are
commonly encountered on construction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking soil
samples in test pits. Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such
unexpected conditions frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly
constructed project. It is recommended that the owner consider providing a contingency fund to
accommodate such potential extra costs and risks. This is a standard recommendation for all
projects.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the Real Property Associates, and its
representatives, for specific application to this project and site. Our recommendations and
conclusions are based on observed site materials. Our conclusions and recommendations are
professional opinions derived in accordance with current standards of practice within the scope of
our services and within budget and time constraints. No warranty is expressed or implied. The
scope of our services does not include services related to construction safety precautions, and our
recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures, except as specifically described in our report for consideration in design. Our services
also do not include assessing or minimizing the potential for biological hazards, such as mold,
bacteria, mildew and fungi in either the existing or proposed site development.
ADDITIONAL SERMES
Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be retained to provide geotechnical consultation, testing, and
observafion services during construction. This is to confirm that subsurface conditions are
consistent with those indicated by our exploration, to evaluate whether earthwork and foundation
construction activities comply with the general intent of the recommendations presented in this
report, and to provide suggestions for design changes in the event subsurface conditions differ
from those anticipated prior to the start of construction. However, our work would not include the
supervision or direction of the actual work of the contractor and its employees or agents. Also, job
and site safety, and dimensional measurements, will be the responsibility of the contractor.
During the construction phase, we will provide geotechnical observation and testing services when
requested by you or your representatives. Please be aware that we can only document site work
we actually observe. It is still the responsibility of your contractor or on -site construction team to
verify that our recommendations are being followed, whether we are present at the site or not.
The scope of our work did not include an environmental assessment, but we can provide this
service, if requested.
