EDMONDS, WASHINGTON
Dear Mr. Anderson:
This report presents the results of Landau Associates geotechnical design services for the
proposed Port of Edmonds marine support buildings to be located in Edmonds, Washington.
The project site was investigated by drilling three borings within the footprint of each of the
proposed buildings to depths of about 211/2 to 41 'Aft below existing site grade.
Based on the site explorations, foundation support of the proposed buildings may be
provided by deep foundations, consisting of either treated timber piles, augercast piles,
prestressed concrete piles, or steel pipe piles. Geotechnical recommendations have been
developed for design of deep foundations, floor slab support, and asphalt pavement.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. If you have any
questions, please contact Ed Heavey or me. LANDAU ASSOCIATES, INC.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of Landau Associates field investigations and provides
geotechnical engineering design recommendations for the proposed Port of Edmonds marine
support buildings in Edmonds, Washington. The project location is shown on the Vicinity Map,
Figure 1. The Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 2, shows the project area and location of the
borings.
The purpose of these geotechnical services was to obtain subsurface information and to
develop geotechnical recommendations for design of the proposed buildings.
1.1 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Landau Associates was contracted by the Port of Edmonds to provide geotechnical
services to support the project. Our services were provided in accordance with the scope
outlined in our proposal dated August 21,1995, and the supplemental proposal dated September
21,1995. ,
Our scope of services included the following specific tasks:
A field exploration program to characterize the subsurface conditions.
Explorations included drilling six boring-s to depths of about 211/2 to 411/2 ft
below existing site grade. Three percolation tests were completed to determine
the percolation rate for design of the storm water disposal system.
Preliminary geotechnical engineering analyses to develop conceptual
geotechnical engineering recommendations for evaluation of alternative
foundation systems. The evaluation was summarized in a technical
memorandum dated October 6, 1995.
Geotechnical engineering analyses and recommendations for the preferred
foundation alternative. Recommendations were developed for:
- Site preparation, including clearing and grubbing, excavation and fills, fill
placement and compaction criteria, and installation of onsite utilities
- Pile foundations, including estimated pile tip elevations, maximum
allowable axial downward capacity and uplift capacity for driven timber,
prestressed concrete, steel pipe piles, and cast -in -place augercast piles;

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We understand that the project consists of constructing two office buildings on the east
side of Admiral Way in Edmonds, Washington. Each building will have two stories above grade
and be about 120 ft by about 60 ft in plan dimensions. The first floor elevation is planned at
about 1 ft above existing site grade. Parking will be provided on the north and south sides of
the complex with a semicircular drive between the buildings. Foundation loads provided by the
structural engineer are in the range of 25 to 60 tons per column.
3.0 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The project site is situated along the eastern side of Admiral Way in Edmonds,
Washington across from the Edmonds Marina. The site is bounded on the northern side by
Dayton Street, on the eastern side by the Burlington Northern Railroad (BNRR) right-of-way, and
on the southern side by a boat storage yard.
3.1 SURFACE CONDITIONS
The topography of the site is relatively flat with ground surface elevations ranging from
about 14 ft mean low low water (MLLW) in the southeast comer of the site to.about 17 ft along
the west edge of the site. The site is currently being used as a boat maintenance yard. Two
12/07/95 J:\173\005\DESIGN.RPT 2
LANDAU ASSOCIATES. INC.
small storage sheds and miscellaneous equipment are located in the southern portion of the site.
The entire site is covered with 11/4-inch minus crushed surfacing.
3.2 SUBSURFACE CONDMONS
Subsurface conditions at the site of the proposed Port of Edmonds marine support
buildings were explored on August 30, 1995 by completing six borings, B-1 through B-6, drilled
within the footprint of the buildings. The borings were drilled by Cascade Drilling, Inc. of
Woodinville, Washington, to depths of between 211/2 and 411/2 ft below the existing ground
surface. The approximate locations of the borings are shown on Figure 2. Borings were located
in the field by taping from existing site features. Ground surface elevations were estimated from
the survey base map prepared by Reid Nfiddleton, dated September 1995. Details of the field
exploration program are summarized in Appendix A of this report, and summary logs of the
conditions encountered in the borings are presented on Figures A-2 through A-7 in Appendix
A. A key to the terms and symbols used on the summary logs is included as Figure A-1.
3.2.1 SOIL
Subsurface conditions observed in the borings consisted of a sequence of fifl, beach
deposits, and pre-Vashon age glacial outwash deposits. An approximately 1-ft thick layer of
crushed surfacing (11/4-inch minus crushed rock) covered the site. Fill was encountered in the
borings below the crushed surfacing and generally consisted of brown, medium dense, gravelly,.
fine to coarse sand. The fill was observed to extend to a depth of between about 51/2 ft to 8 ft
below existing site grade. Beach deposits, consisting of gray, medium dense, fine to medium
sand with occasional gravel and wood fragments were encountered beneath the. fill in the
borings and extended to depths of about 13 ft below existing site grade. Pre-Vashon glacial
outwash deposits were encountered beneath the beach deposits.and extended to the bottom of
the borings. The glacial outwash deposits generally consisted of very dense, gray, gravelly, fine
to coarse sand; fine to coarse sand with gravel; and fine to medium sand.
3.2.2 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater levels were measured on September I and 6, 1995 in the piezometers
installed in borings; B-2 and B-5 during high and low tides to check for tidal influence on
groundwater levels at the site. Gro--mdwater levels measured on September 1,, 1995 were
12/07/95 JA173\005\DF-STGN.RPT 3
ILANDAU ASSOCIATES. INC.
I
obtained within a few hours after the occurrence of high tide (12:03 p.m.), and groundwater
levels measured on September 6, 1995 were obtained at about the time low tide occurred
(8:15 a.m.). Groundwater levels were also measured on October 3,1995. Measured groundwater
levels are summarized in Table 1. Groundwater levels appear to be independent of tide
fluctuations.
In addition, groundwater data from groundwater monitoring wells MW-2, MW-3, and
MW-5, installed at Harbor Square east of the project site and across the BNRR tracks, were
reviewe d for this project. Groundwater levels measured at Harbor Square varied from about
5 to 51/2ft above the groundwater levels measured at the project site. Long-term groundwater
monitoring at Harbor Square indicated that the groundwater table fluctuates about I to 2 ft
between summer and winter, with the maximum high groundwater level occurring in the winter.
We would expect that groundwater fluctuations at the project site would be similar.
3.3 PERCOLATION TESTING
. Percolation tests, P-1 through P-3, were performed on October 6, 1995 at three locations
along the eastern edge of the existing boat repair yard. The approximate locations of the
percolation tests are shown on Figure 2 and were determined in the field by taping from existing
site features. Details of the field testing methods are summarized in Appendix A and the results
of the percolation test are presented in Table A-1. Summary logs of the s oil conditions observed
in the test holes excavated for the percolation tests are presented as Figure A-8 in Appendix A.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The fill and beach deposits underlying the site are potentially liquefiable during a strong
motion earthquake. The near -surface fill could also be of variable density which could result in
differential settlement. Landau Associates evaluated various foundation support alternatives,
including pile foundation support, shallow footings below a basement level, shallow foundations
after overexcavation and replacement of the loose soil, and ground improvement by
vibroflotation. These alternatives were summarized in a technical memorandum prepared by
Landau Associates dated October 6, 1995. The alternatives were further analyzed by the
1 12/07/95 JA173\005\13ESIGNAPT 4
ILANDAU ASSOCIATES. INC.
I
architect and structural engineer with the pile foundation alternative recommended by the
design team and selected by the Port.
Foundation support of the proposed buildings may be provided by driven or drilled piles
bearing in the very dense glacial outwash soil underlying the site. Recommendations are
presented in the following sections for site grad ing, foundation support, floor slab support,
lateral earth pressures, seismic design considerations, drainage considerations, and pavement
construction.
4.1 SITE GRADING
Site grading is anticipated to consist of demolishing or moving existing small structures
at the site, placement of fill materials to establish planned subgrade elevations, installation of
onsite utilities, and subgrade preparation for pavement and slab -on -grade floors.
The first step of site preparation will consist of demolishing or moving the. existing
structures located at the south end of the site and removal of existing utilities. All incidental
excavations to remove existing foundation elements and site utilities should be backfilled in
accordance with the recommendations contained in this section.
The existing crushed surfacing will be suitable to support fill provided it is properly
prepared. Prior to fill placement, the exposed surface should be proof rolled and compacted to
a depth of at least 12 inches to achieve at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density as
determined by the ASTM D 1557 test procedure.
Fill material will be required to establish the planned subgrade elevations for pavements
and floor slabs, which are expected to be about 1 ft above existing site grade. Since construction
is planned for the winter months, an all-weather imported fill will be needed. Imported fill
should consist of clean, well -graded sand and gravel material free of trash, wood waste and
organics, or other deleterious material. The maximum particle size should not exceed 3 inches
and the material should contain less than 5 percent fines (material passing a U.S. No. 200 sieve)
based on the 3/4-inch minus fraction. Fill should be placed in relatively uniform horizontal lifts
not exceeding 8 to 10 inches thick, loose measure. Each lift should be compacted to at least 95
percent of the maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557).
It is expected that the excavated material for site utilities should consist of relatively clean
sand and gravel. This material would be suitable for trench backfill provided it can be placed
and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density. If the onsite soil cannot be
12/07/95 JA173\005\DES1GN.RPT 5
11
LANDAU ASSOCIATES. INC.
utilized for trench backfill, then imported fill, meeting the requirements above, should be used
for trench backfill. Trench backfill should be placed in relatively uniform horizontal lifts not
exceeding 8 to 10 inches thick, loose measure. Each lift should be compacted to at least 95
percent of the maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557).
Trenches deeper than 4 ft should be appropriately sloped back or provided with adequate
shoring, such as a trench box. Soil expected within the trench zone would be classified as Type
B [Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 296-155-664). If groundwater seepage is present,
the soil would be classified as Type C (WAC 296-155-664). Surcharge loads on excavation
support systems from construction equipment, stockpiled materials, and vehicle traffic should
be included in the design of the shoring system.
If cohesionless soil is allowed to dry, surface sloughing may occur. If groundwater is
flowing or seeping into the excavation, an unstable condition and relatively rapid erosion of the
sideslopes of the trench may develop. In addition, precipitation can cause erosion of the
sideslopes of the trench.
Actual trench configurations should be the responsibility of the contractor. All applicable
local, state, and federal safety codes should be followed. All open cuts should be monitored by
the contractor during excavation to detect any evidence of instability. - If instability is detected,
the contractor should flatten the sideslope or install temporary shoring.
4.2 LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL
The medium dense, granular fill and beach deposits below the water table have the
potential for liquefaction and strength loss during a major seismic event. The characteristics of
a liquefaction -prone soil include: uniform grain size, low relative density, low plasticity,
inorganic composition, and saturated condition. The saturated fill and beach deposits underlying
the site have many of the characteristics of a liquefaction -prone soil. During a seismic event,
ground shaking causes the buildup of excess porewater pressure and a decrease in the shear
strength of the soil. With sufficient intensity and duration of ground shaking, the porewater
pressure can become equal to or greater than the overburden pressure and the soil looses
strength or liquefies.
The liquefaction potential of the site soil was analyzed using the method of Seed (Seed,
et al. 1983). Based on published data regarding seismic risk (Algermissen, et al. 1982), a peak
horizontal ground acceleration of 30 percent of gravity (0.30 g) and a magnitude 7.5 earthquake
12/07/95 JA173\005\DES1GN.RPT 6
LANDAU ASSOCIATES, INC.
was assumed for this analysis. The computed factor of safety against liquefaction varied from
over 1.5 to as low as 0.7 depending on location and depth. A factor of safety of 1.0 or less
implies that liquefaction would occur during the design seismic event. The analyses also
indicated that the liquefaction potential was non -uniform across the site. Liquefaction will tend
to be confined to localized areas.
If liquefaction of the saturated fill and beach deposits that underlie the site were to occur,
ground settlement would likely occur as a result of post -liquefaction consolidation of the
saturated fill and beach deposits. Based on the empirical methods to estimate liquefaction -
induced ground settlements, we would expect ground surface settlements of about 1 to
11h inches. This settlement is expected to be nonuniform with potential differential settlement
equalling the total settlement. At lower intensities of ground shaking, liquefaction of the
saturated fill and beach deposits may not occur, but seismically induced ground shaking can
result in surface settlement caused by particle rearrangement and consolidation of the granular
soil underlying the site.
4.3 FOUNDATIONS
Because of the liquefaction potential at the site, conventional spread -footing foundations
could experience loss of support and adverse settlements during a seismic event. Liquefaction
is expected to be confined to localized areas, resulting in a potential for. significant differential
settlements between individual foundation members. To mitigate the potential of damage to the
structure as a result of seismically induced ground settlements, we recommend the buildings be
supported by pile foundations penetrating into the dense to very dense, glacial outwash deposits
that underlie the site. The borings completed at the site indicated that suitable foundation. soils
underlie the site at a depth of about 13 to 15 ft below existing site grades.
4.3.1 PILE CAPACITIES
Pile foundations could consist of driven treated timber with a minimum tip diameter of
at least 8 inches, 12-inch square prestressed concrete, 10-inch, 12-inch, or 16-inch diameter steel
pipe piles, or 16-inch diameter cast -in -place augercast piles. Assuming a minimum pile
penetration of between 7 to 10 ft into the bearing stratum, pile lengths will be about 20 to 23 ft
below existing site grade. The recommended maximum allowable single pile capacities are
summarized in Table 3. The maximum allowable downward and upward capacities include a
1 12/07/95 JA173\005\13ESIGNAPT 7
ILANDAU ASSOCIATES, INC.
factor of safety of 3.0 applied to the assumed frictional strength of the soil. Individual piles
within a pile group should have a center -to -center spacing of at least 3 pile diameters.
Pile foundations constructed as recommended in this report are expected to settle less
than 1/2inch. Differential settlements between individual pile groups should be less than 1/4 inch.
The majority of the settlement will occur during construction as the piles are loaded.
4.3.2 RESISTANCE To LATERAL LOADS
Lateral loads will be resisted by passive earth pressure acting against piles, grade beams,
and pile caps. For design purposes, the passive resistance acting against piles, the sides of the
grade beams, and pile caps may be computed based on an equivalent fluid density of 200
pounds per cubic ft (pco. This value assumes drained conditions and no buildup of hydrostatic
pressure. Below the water table (depth of about 5 ft), an equivalent fluid density of 100 pcf
should be used for passive soil resistance against piles. The passive resistance can be assumed
to act over 2 pile diameters or 1 pile spacing, whichever is less. Passive resistance will act over
the width of the grade beams and pile caps.
The allowable passive resistance values are based on the assumption of a horizontal
surface of at least two times the depth of embedment in the direction of movement. The upper
12 inches of passive resistance should be neglected if the soil is not covered by floor slabs or
pavement. If future plans call for the removal of the soil providing resistance, then passive
resistance should not be considered. The allowable passive pressure has been reduced by
50 percent of the ultimate value to limit deformations to less than 1 percent of the embedded
portion of the foundation. Recommendations for passive resistance against dynamic loads are
presented in Section 4.6 of this report.
4.3.3 PILE FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Though not encountered in the borings completed at the site, cobbles and boulders may
be present within the fill, beach deposits, or glacial outwash deposits; logs may be present within
the beach deposits; and debris (such as wood and/or concrete) may be present within the fill.
Any of these materials could be an obstruction to pile installation. If an obstruction is
encountered near the surface, it may be possible to locally excavate to remove the obstruction
prior to continuing with pile installation. For deeper obstructions, the pile may need to be
abandoned and relocated, or possibly incorporated into the structure at a reduced capacity.

Timber piles should meet the requirements of ASTM D 25 and should be treated to resist
decay. To prevent damage during driving, we recommend that the tips and butts of the timber
piles be double -banded with steel straps to prevent brooming of the pile.
Once the contractor has submitted the type of driving equipment to be used, Landau
Associates should perform a wave equation analysis of pile driving (WEAP) to determine the
required driving resistance (blows per ft) to achieve the design pile capacities, and to check that
tensional and compressive stresses in the pile during driving are within tolerance.
Pile driving is a dynamic process, and it is not uncommon for pile tip depths, as
determined by driving resistance, to differ from the depths estimated by static methods of
analysis. If the actual pile tip depth, as determined by driving resistance, were to exceed the
estimated tip depth, then longer piles would be needed in the field. Since timber and concrete.
piles cannot be easily spliced, it may be prudent to have the contract documents provide for
installation of at least four test piles (two at each building location) to evaluate driving
performance and to determine the required production pile length. Test piles are typically 10 ft
or more longer than the pile length based on the estimated tip depth. Test piles are installed
prior to production piles and may be incorporated into the final structure if they meet the
required driving resistance.
Augercast piles are installed by drilling to the required tip depth with a continuous flight
auger mounted on leads. As the auger is withdrawn, grout is pumped under pressure out
through the tip of the auger. During withdrawal of the auger, a head of about 10 ft of grout is
typically maintained to prevent necking of the column of grout. After the auger is withdrawn,
a rebar cage is inserted into the column of grout. Grout pressures and equipment loads during
pile installation can disturb recently installed piles. It is recommended that no trucks or heavy
equipment or new augercast pile construction be allowed within 8 ft of an augercast pile that
is less than 12 hours old.
Since the completed augercast pile is below ground and cannot be directly observed,
judgement and experience must be used to aid in determining the acceptability of a completed
augercast pile. This includes the observer's experience and the experience of the augercast pile
contractor. The observer and contractor should work together to use past experience under
normal operating procedures, as well as procedures established by the contractor for the current
job, including such factors as installation sequence, auger withdrawal rate, grouting pressure,
and quantity of grout used per pile. Variations from the established pattern, such as low grout
pressure, excessive settlement of grout in the completed pile, etc., make the pile susceptible to
12/07/95 J:\173\005\DESIGN.RPT 9

rejection. In order to provide an evaluation of the augercast pile installations, we recommend
that the contractor be required to provide a pressure gage in the grout line between the pump
and the auger, and some means of determining the quantity of grout used per pile (such as a
stoke counter on the grout pump).
We recommended that the installation of driven or drilled piles be observed by a
geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist familiar with the pile foundation design. The
geotechnical representative would evaluate the contractor's construction procedure, collect and
interpret the installation data, monitor variations in subsurface conditions, and confirm the
required penetration depths.
4.4 FLOOR SLAB SUPPORT
The floor slab could be'constructed as a conventional concrete slab -on -grade, provided
the subgrade is prepared as recommended in Section 4.1 of the this report. However, a
conventional slab -on -grade could be subject to seismically induced settlement. Support of the
floor slab may also be provided by piles, or if seismically induced settlement of the floor slab
is not tolerable.
Regardless of the type of floor slab support, the floor slab should be underlain by at least
6 inches of compacted, clean, free -draining sand and gravel with less than 5 percent passing the
U.S. No. 200 sieve. The purpose of this layer is to provide uniform support for a slab -on -grade
floor and a capillary break for either a slab -on -grade floor or a structural slab. Provisions should
be made to allow this layer to drain freely to the foundation drainage system, which is described
in Section 4.7 of this report.
4.5 LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
Lateral earth pressures which develop against below -grade structures, such as retaining
walls, utility vaults, and maintenance holes, will depend on the method of backfill placement,
degree of compaction, backfill slope, type of backfill materials, drainage provisions, and the
degree to which the wall can yield laterally during or after placement of backfill. When the wall
is restrained against lateral movement or tilting, the soil pressure exerted is the at -rest soil
pressure. Wall restraint may develop if a rigid structural network is constructed prior to
backfilling or if the wall is inherently stiff or is restrained from rotation. However, if the wall
12/07/95 JA173\005\DM1GN.RPT 10
I
LANDAU ASSOCIATES, INC.
is allowed to rotate or yield so the top of the wall moves an amount equal to 0.002 times its
height, the soil pressure exerted will be active soil pressure.
We recommend that yielding walls with level backfill under drained conditions be
designed for an equivalent fluid density of 35 pcf for active soil conditions. Non -yielding walls
under drained conditions should be designed for an equivalent fluid density of 55 pcf for at -rest
conditions. Design of any subsurface walls should include appropriate lateral pressures caused
by any adjacent surcharge loads. For uniform surcharge pressures, a uniformly distributed
lateral pressure of 0.30 and 0.40 times the surcharge pressure should be added for yielding and
nonyielding walls, respectively. For undrained conditions, an equivalent fluid density of 80 pcf
for the active case and 95 pcf for the at -rest case should be used to compute lateral earth
pressures.
The backfill placed behind below -grade walls should be free -draining sand and gravel
with a maximum particle size not exceeding 3 inches and less than 5 percent passing the U.S.
No. 200 sieve, based on a wet sieve analysis of that portion passing the U.S. No. 3/4 inch sieve.
4.6 SEISMIC DESIGN CRITERIA
The following values may be used in the 1994 Uniform Building Code (UBC) analysis of
earthquake loads: seismic zone factor, z = 0.30; site coefficient, S2 = 1.2; ground motion response
spectra given in UBC Figure 16-3 for Soil Type 2.
Dynamic lateral pressures as a result of a 1-in-100 year seismic event (40 percent
probability of occurrence in a 50-year period) should be. included in the design of below grade
walls. A peak horizontal ground acceleration of 20 percent of gravity (0.20 g) was assumed in
computing the dynamic earth pressures. A uniform lateral pressure of 4H psf (H is the vertical
height of the wall in ft) should be added to the static lateral earth pressures.
Dynamic lateral loads will be resisted by dynamic passive earth pressure. An ultimate
dynamic passive resistance of 385 pcf should be used in place of the static passive pressure given
in Section 4.5 and applied as an equivalent fluid density on the below -grade portion of the wall
or foundation. The dynamic passive pressure assumes horizontal surface of at least twice the
depth of embedment in the direction of movement and no groundwater. Below the groundwater
table (depth of 5 ft), an ultimate passive resistance of 200 pcf should be used. No factor of safety
is included in the above dynamic passive earth pressures.
1 12/07/95 JA173\005\DESIGNAPT
I I
F�
LANDAU ASSOCIATES. INC.
In order to mobilize the ultimate passive resistance, lateral displacements on the order
of 5 to 10 percent of the embedment depth must occur. Because such deformations are usually
not acceptable for most structures, it is common practice to reduce the ultimate value depending
on the amount of tolerable deformation. Table 4 summarizes wall displacements, in terms of
embedded wall height, required for mobilization of passive resistance.
4.7 DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
We recommend that an exterior, footing drain system be constructed around the
perimeter of the building foundations and behind any subsurface retaining walls. The drainage
system should consist of a 4-inch diameter, smooth -walled, PVC perforated pipe placed in an
envelope of 5/8-inch nominal drain gravel. The drain gravel should be completely surrounded
by a non -woven geotextile material such as Nhrafi 140N, Supac 4NP, or equivalent. The footing
drain should discharge to the site storm drainage system. Screened weep holes, 2 to 3 inches
in diameter, should be provided through the exterior foundation stem walls to allow drainage
of the underslab drainage layer. The screened weep holes should be higher than the exterior
footing drain.
The surface of the fill around the building should be properly graded to direct
stormwater runoff away from the building. Roof drainage should not be introduced into the
perimeter footing drain, but should be discharged directly to the stormwater system or other
appropriate outlet by means of a tightline. Surface water should not be allowed to pond and
infiltrate into the ground surface near buildings or paved areas.
4.8 STORMWATER INFILTRATION SYSTEM
The percolation test rates presented in Appendix A are the actual field -measured values.
It is appropriate to select an infiltration rate for design that considers the range of test results
and soil types, and that also incorporates an appropriate factor of safety. The test results from
test P-3 appear to be influenced by a gravel layer at the test depth. The more prevalent soil type
appears to be fine to medium sand that was present in percolation test holes P-I and P-2 and
above the gravel layer in P-3. For selection of a design infiltration rate, we recommend
discounting the results from test P-3. The average of tests P-1 and P-2 with a factor of safety of
2.0 applied (consistent with conventional design practice) yields a design infiltration rate of 2.0
inches/hour.
1 12/07/95 JA 173 \005 \DESIGN. RPT 12
ILANDAU ASSOCIATES. INC.
Perched groundwater was encountered in the test holes at depths between 40 inches and
50 inches. We recommend that a depth to groundwater of 3.5 ft below the existing ground
surface be assumed for design of the stormwater infiltration system.
4.9 PAVEMENT
We understand that site paved areas will generally be used for pedestrian traffic and for
car and light truck parking and drive areas. With preparation of the pavement subgrade as
specified in Section 4.1 of this report, the recommended flexible pavement sections are
summarized in Table 5.
Base material should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density
(ASTM D 1557) and meet the requirements for Crushed Surfacing in Section 9-03.9(3) of the 1994
Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, by the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the American Public Works Association (APWA).
'Asphalt treated base (ATB) material should conform to the requirements of Section 4-06 of the
1994 WSDOT/APWA standard specifications. Asphaltic concrete should consist of Class B
aggregate material and conform to the requirements in Section 5-04 of the 1994 WSDOT/APWA,
standard specifications.
5.0 DOCUMENT REVIEW AND CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
We recommend that Landau Associates be retained to review those portions of the plans
and specifications that pertain to earthwork and foundation construction to determine if they are
consistent with the recommendations presented in this report. We recommend that monitoring,
testing, and consultation be provided during constructi on to confirm that the conditions
encountered are consistent with those indicated by our explorations; to provide expedient
recommendations should conditions be revealed during construction that differ from those
anticipated; and to evaluate whether geotechnical-related activities comply with project plans

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATIONS
I BORINGS
Subsurface conditions at the site were explored on August 30,1995 by drilling six borings
witl-dn the footprint of the proposed buildings to obtain representative soil samples for visual
logging and laboratory testing. The borings were completed to depths of about 211/2 to 411/2 ft
below the existing ground surface by Cascade Drilling, Inc. of Woodinville, Washington with a
truck -mounted CME 75 drill rig advancing a 4 1/4-inch inside diameter (ID), hollow -stem auger.
The approximate location of the borings are shown on Figure 2. The exploration locations were
determined in the field by taping from existing site features, and ground surface elevations at
the boring locations were estimated from the survey base map prepared by Reid Middleton,
dated September 1995.
Field logging of subsurface soils and drilling conditions was carried out by a geotechnical
engineer from Landau Associates, who continuously observed the explorations.and coordinated
the field work. Representative soil samples from the borings were obtained at 2-1/2 ft and 5-ft
intervals to the bottom of the boring. Samples were obtained with a 1 3/8-inch ID, split -spoon
sampler driven 18 inches (or a portion there of) with a 140-pound, dowz-thole hammer on a
wireline with a manual release, dropped from a height of 30 inches. The number of blows for
each 6 inches of penetration (or portion thereof) was recorded on the field logs. The. number of
hammer blows to drive the 1 3/8-inch ID split -spoon sampler the last 12 inches (or portion
thereof) of the 18-inch drive is termed the standard penetration test resistance (SPT) and is
shown on the summary logs in this appendix. This resistance, or blow count, provides a
qualitative measure of the relative density of cohesionless soils and the consistency of a cohesive
soil.
Upon completion of drilling, borings B-1, B-3, B4, and B-6 were backfilled to near the
surface with bentor�te chips and then capped with soil. A standpipe piezometer was installed
in borings B-2 and B-5 for subsequent groundwater level measurements. Details of the
piezometers are shown on the summary logs in this appendix.
All soil encountered was described using the Soil Classification System presented on
Figure A-1, in general accordance with ASTM D 2488 Standard Recomniended Practice for
Description of Soil (Visual -Manual Procedures). Collected soil samples were placed in polyethylene
12/07/95 J:\173\005\DESIGN.AI'A A-1
ILANDAU ASSOCIATES. INC.
bags, sealed, labeled, and transmitted to our laboratory for evaluation and appropriate testing.
The subsurface conditions are described in boring logs on Figures A-2 through A-7. Information
presented in the summary logs depicts subsurface conditions only at the specified location and
at the date designated on the log. Soil and water conditions at other locations may differ and
changes also may result with the passage of time.
FIELD PERCOLATION TESTING
Percolation tests, P-1 through P-3, were performed on October 6, 1995 at three locations
along the eastern edge of the existing boat repair yard. Percolation. tests were completed in
accordance with the procedure outlined in Table 3-8 in EPA Design Manual, Onsite Waste Water
Treatment and Disposal (1980). The percolation tests were completed by a geologist from Landau
Associates. The approximate locations (shown on Figure 2) were determined in the field by
taping from existing site features.
Three test holes, P-1, P-2, and P-3, were excavated to depths of 53, 50 and 43 inches,
respectively, and the soil conditions logged. The test holes were terminated when groundwater
seepage was encountered. Summary logs of the soil conditions observed in the test holes are
presented on Figure A-8.
The test holes were about 9 inches in diameter and the bottom of each hole was lined
with 2 inches of clean gravel. At least 12 inches of water was added to the holes and the water
level was maintained for the required 4-hour soak period in test holes P-1 and P-2 prior to
completing the percolation test. The water level in test hole P-3 could not be maintained because
of rapid infiltration. Water was continually added to test hole P-3 for a period of about 1 hour
prior to completing the percolation test.
After the required soaking period, slough that had accumulated in the test holes was
removed and water was added to 6 inches above the top of the gravel. The drop in water level
was measured and recorded after a 30-minute period in P-1 and P-2. Because of the rapid
infiltration at tes t hole P-3, the water level was measured and recorded after a period of 10
minutes. Immediately after measuring the water level, the water level in the test holes was
adjusted to 6 inches above the gravel and allowed to percolate for a 30-minute period in P-1 and
P-2, and a 10-minute period in P-3. This cycle was repeated until the percolation rate stabilized.
The percolation rate was considered to be stable when the difference in the measured water level
drop per time period was less than 1/16 inch from the previous cycle. The percolation rate was
12/07/95 J:\173\005\DESIGN.APA A-2

calculated based on the final reading. The results of the percolation tests are summarized in
Table A-1. At the end of the testing, the holes were filled and the ground. surface restored to
the original level.

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were conducted in our laboratory on representative samples for the
purposes of classification and determination of their physical properties. The work was
performed in general accordance with the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM)
standard test procedures. The samples were checked against the field log classifications, wl-dch
were updated where appropriate in general accordance with ASTM D 2487, Standard Test Method
for Classftation of Soils for Engineering Purposes.
NATURAL MOISTURE CONTENT
Natural moisture content determinations were performed on selected soil samples in
borings, B-1 through B-6, in general accordance with ASTM D 2216. The results are shown at
the respective samples depths in the column labeled "Moisture Content" on the boring logs in
Appendix A.
GRAIN SIZE ANALYSES
Sieve analyses were performed on selected samples in accordance with ASTM D 422 to
determine the grain size distribution of soil retained on the U.S. No. 200 sieve (particle sizes
larger than 75 pm). The results of the grain size analyses are included in this appendix on
Figures B-1 through B-3.
