Project: Retaining Wall
Project Address: 8115 Lake Ballanger Way
During review of the resubmitted documentation for the above noted project, it was found that the
following information, clarifications or changes are needed. Please provide written responses as to
where the changes can be found on the plans, and submit revised plans/documents to a Permit
Coordinator.
1.The retaining wall will require special inspection by the geotech of record for excavation,
construction, compaction, materials, erosion control, and drainage. Complete the attached City
of Edmonds Special Inspection Agreement.
2.The geotech of report (1.0 Introduction) requires the geotech of record to review changes to the
design of the retaining wall.
3.The free draining material for the backfill is designed as 1 thick from the back face of the
retaining wall, while the geotech report recommends 2 thick (5.6.3). Reconcile.
4.For temporary cut slopes, the geotech report (5.4) recommends following WAC 296-115.
Please explain how Charter Boats are involved with this project. Or, is it a typo for WAC 296-
155, Safety Standards for Construction Work?
