Proposed Residence M,
7320 Southwest 182nd Street
Edmonds, Washington
5i --I
Dear Mr. Johnson:
We have completed a general review of the geotechnical aspects of the plans for the residence to
be constructed at 7320 Southwest 182nd Street in Edmonds. We reviewed Sheets 1 through 10 of
plans prepared by Leonard Sherstad and dated September 26, 2003, We also received a facsimile
copy of an undated (sent on November 13, 2003) site plan and cross section prepared by Doug
Johnson. We received Page 1 of 4 of the plan review comments from the City of Edmonds, dated
November 7, 2003. We completed a geotechnical engineering study (GES) of this site on October
29,2003.
1. In regards to Comment 1.1 of the City of Edmonds corrections -
Our explorations at the site indicate that very dense glacial till soils underlie 4 to 5 feet of looser
weathered soils. Given the current inclinations of the site slopes, any potential slope instability
at the site would be anticipated to be restricted to the looser near -surface soils without affecting
the dense to very dense till soils. The proposed residence shall be founded on the very dense,
native glacial till soils that, in our opinion, are not subject to slope instability at the site
inclinations even when subject to a design earthquake. As discussed in the Seismic
Considerations section of our GES (Page 4), the dense native soils are not subject to a loss of
shear strength (liquefaction) because of their density. The comments in the Generai section
(Page 3) of the GES regarding the potential for the site soils to become overly wet is related to
general earthwork operations and the reuse of the site soils as structural fill.
2. In regards to Comment 1.3 of the City of Edmonds corrections —
Following review of the documents, we have the following comments:
Considering a 12-foot setback from the northern property line and when allowing for
approximately 2 feet of working room behind the proposed basement wall, a cut of up to 17
feet would be possible if soil conditions are as expected. The conditions for making the
steep cuts in the dense till soils are described in our GES. It appears that the finished floor
elevations indicated on the supplied cross section are slightly higher than those depicted on
the site plan. We understand that the elevations on the cross-section are the true proposed
floor elevations. Based on these supplied excavation depths, it appears that the proposed
temporary cut inclinations supplied in our report are satisfied. No extraneous excavation

into the slope shall be taken, or temporary shoring piling will be required. Our personnel
should be onsite during the excavation to confirm soil conditions at depth.
On the eastern portion of the structure (the area to the east of the garage), it appears that a
rockery or retaining wall will be necessary to the north of the northern wall of the house to
control the grades. A rockery could be used in this area, but since dense native soils will
not likely be encountered behind the rockery in this location, its exposed height should be Z
limited to 4 feet, and the lower two rows of rock units should be of three- to four -man size. 0
The base of the rockery should be excavated to bear on the dense native till soils.
0
Additional recommendations for rockery construction are included in our GES (Page 8). This M
rockery will be located within the influence area of the basement foundation wall and will
therefore enact a surcharge on the basement wall. The recommended surcharge would be
a 70 psf uniform lateral pressure.
M
0
The foundation drains shall be constructed as shown in our GES, and the wall backfill
recommendations provided in our GES should be followed. In addition, a foundation drain
should be installed behind the step-down wall between the garage level and the upper
basement level.
As discussed in our GES, no fill should be placed on the site slopes unless it is benched
and keyed into the dense native soils and is compacted in accordance with our GES.
In our judgement, considering the above clarifications, the plans conform to the
recommendations in our geotechnical engineering report. If the recommendations and
conditions of the geotechnical engineering report are satisfied during construction and use of
the project, the proposed project will not increase the potential for soil movement.

The two test pits on the site revealed very dense, native, gravelly. silty sands underlying 4 to
5 feet of loose to medium -dense, weathered silty sands. The very dense sands
encountered In the test plts are commonly referred to as glacial till.
Although our explorations did not encounter cobbles or boulders, they are often found in
glacial till soils.

The test pits conducted for this study encountered very dense glacial till soils underlying
approximately 4 to 5 feet of loose to medium -dense weathered soils, Due to the slope of the site,
we would recommend excavating all of the proposed footings on the southern edge of the site to
beer directly on the very dense till soils. Remaining footings should 1:Ie excavated to bear on the
very dense soils. but may be restored to the proposed footing grade with structural fill if necessary,

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Proposed Residence
72XX Southwest 182nd Street
Edmonds, Washington
This report presents the findings and recommendations of our geotechnical engineering study for
the site of the proposed residence to be located at 72XX Southwest 182nd Street in Edmonds,'
Development of the property is In the planning stage, and detailed plans were not made available
to us. The site plan provided to us showed site topography and the proposed house footprint. The
plan Indicates that the new house will be located approximately 12 feet from the nQrthem property
line, 25 feet from the eastern and southern property lines, and 45 fibet from the western property
line. l'inished floor elevations were also indicated on the plan as 375 feet (main floor); 384 rWWJ
(basement): and 360 feet (garage). Based onjhpe plans and discussion with you, we understand
that the current plan calls for cuts of up to
,2T'Met below the existing grade near the northeastern
corner of the proposed residence. Cuts of this depth at the proposed location of the house would
require excavation sharing, but we also understand that you will be adjusting the location and
f1mishao flaae alavatiam af the realelaAas as that you eam avoid shorlmg im this area.

SURFACE
The Vicinity Map, Plate 1, illustrates the general location of the she. The subject site Is located on
the northeastern comer of the Intersectlon of 73rd Avenue West and Southwest *162nd Street.
Open ditches line the property along the right-cf-way5 to the south and west. The property to the
north Is developed with a two-story residence located approximately 12 feet from the common
property line. This adjacent house ricws not hiave a basement on It southern end, and the ap2ce
between the house and the property'llne is used as storage. The adjacent property to the east is
developed with a house that'lls remote from the subject site.
The -site slopes up moderately from the street to the north, and site grades vary from 25 to near 40
percent. A locally steeper area (less than 10 feet tall) exists along portions of the northern property
line where the neighbor appears to have placed fill soils in the past. The property is vegetated with
scattered deciduous trees and moderately donee undergrowth. No inclicsti=5 of elope inatabiliti
on the subject site were observed during our visit,
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface conditions were explored by excavating two test Pits at the approximate locations
shown on the Site Exploration Plan, Plate 2. Our exploration program was based on the proposed
construction, anticipated subsurface conditions and those encountered durIng explorabon, and the
scope of work outlined in our proposal.
The test pits were excavated on October 6, 2003 with a tracked ba ' ckhoe. 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 Loge are attached to this report as Plate 3.

The proposed cuts to install the house basement are a concern as they approach the northern
property line. Maximum temporary out slope Inclinations are included in the Excavations and
Slope5 section of this report. If these slope cuts cannot be maintained on the subject property,
excavation shoring would be required, Based on the plans provided, it appears that to avoid
d
shoring, the basement would need to be pulled out away from the northern edge of the house and
a relatively shallow crawl space constructed along this no ' qhern edge of the structure: the layout of

installation of dTains, and waterproofing. Aggressively extending the excavation outside the

Any fill placed on this sloping porlions of the lot should be benched -4ind keyed into the drones notive
soils; placed In horizontal lifts, and properly compacted as detailed in the General Earthwor* and
Strucilural Fill section of this report,
A significant geotechnical consideration for development of this site is the potential for the site soils
to become overly moist to wet through rain or groundwater. Based an our observations, the
moisture contents of the on -site soils at the time of excavation were generally below the optimum
moisture content necessary for the required structural fill compaction, However, the test pits were
excavated at the and of a long period of dry weather, and we would expect the moisture Content of
the soils to be much higher during or following the wetter seasons of the year and following
significant rainfall events. The onsite, 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 or below their optimum moisture content. The reuse of these soils as structural fill
on the site will only be successful when their moisture contents can be controlled through the
additon of water or drying of the soils through aeration, Aeraticn of the soils would only be
possible during hot, dry weather, Moisture conditioning of each loose lift of soil will be required to
bdng it to a compactable moisture content before the lift is compacted. The earthwork contractor
must be prepared to rework areas that do not achieve prop6r compaction due to high moisture
content, Imported granular fill will be needed wherever it is not possible to dry the on -site soils
sufficiently before compaction.
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 1he
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 rnust consider the potential
vapor sources and likely occupant uses, and provide sufficient ventilation, either passive or
mechimical, to prevent Fi hidirl iip nf F-yrPsgim- mfpdr-tr vapnr within the planned sfn inti irp

The erosion control measures needed during the site development will depend heavily on the
weather conditions that are encountered. Site clearing will expose a large area of bare soil, and
the erosion potential on the site would be considered moderate to high due to the slope of the
ground and the silt content of the native soils, Therefore, we recommend that erosion control
measures be Implemented during the development of the site. We anticipate that a silt fence will
be needed around the downslope sides of any cleared areas. Rocked construction access roads
Ghould bo oxtondod into tho cito to roducc tho cimount of mud carried off the property by trucks and
equipment. Wherever possible, these roads should follow the alignment of planned pavements. z
Cut slopes and soil stockpiles should be covered with plastic during wet weather. Following rough 0
grading, it may be necessary to mulch or hydroseed bare areas thht will not be immediately
covered with landscaping or an impervious surface. I M
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 %cope 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 reoQmmend 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 0ONSIDERATIONS
The site Is located within $eismic Zone 3, as illustrated on Figure No. 16-2 of the 1997 Uniform
Building Code (USC). In accordance with Table 1&i of the 1997 UBC, the site soil profile within
100 feet of the ground surface is best represented by Soil Profile Type So (Very Dense Soil). The
design criteria presented in this report consider the effects of a one-in-100-years seismic event.
The site soils are not susceptible to seismic liquefaction because of their dense nature and the
absence of near�-surface groundwater,
CONVENTIONAL FOUNDATIONS
The proposed structure can be supported an conventional coniinuous and spread footings bearing
on undisturbed, dense native glacial till soil. As discussed in the General section, the footing$
along tho southern edge of the etructure ehould be exc;9vated to bear diro,01y Qn the dense native
soils, but the remaining footings may be overexcavated to the dense native soils and restored to

Earthwork and Striucturai Fill for recommendations regarding the placement and compaction of
structural fill beneath structures, We recommend that continuous and individual spread footings
have minimum widths of 16 and 24 inches, respectively. Footings should also be bottomed at least
18 inches below the lowest adjacent finish ground surface. The l000l 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 M ' ey 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 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf) is appropriate for footings
constructed as described In this report and supported on competent native soil. A one-third
increase in this design bearing pressure may be used when considering short-term wind or seismic
I `
loads For the above desian 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 three.
quarters of an inch, with differenUal settlements on the order of one-half inch In a distance of 50
feet along a continuou5 footing with a uniform load.
Lateral loads due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by friction be*teen 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 ral3fively
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:
L;oettcient or i-riction U.4b
Passive Earth Pressure 350 pcf
Whom: (1) pef Is pounds per cubic foot, and (11) passivo earth
pressure is womputed using the equivalentfluid density.
If the ground in front of a foundation is loose or sloping, the passive earth pressure given above will
not be appropriate. We recommend maintaining a safety factor of at least 1.5 for the foundation's
resistance to lateral loading, when using the above ultimate values.
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:

The values given above are to be used to design permanent foundation and retaining walls only.
The V21USS for friction and passive resistance are ultimate values and do not Include a Safety
factor, We recommend 2 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 flar a distance
of 1.5 times the wall height from comers or bends in the walls. This is Intended to reduce the
elmount 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 backi'lil in order to provide the appropriate
design earth pressures.

well -compacted in lifts no thicker than 12 Inches. The compaction of backfill near the wells 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 and Waferproorin
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 minimum 12-inch width of free -draining soil (such as imported
builder's sand or pit -run sand and gravel) and 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 flaces, and the
walls should be backfilled entirely with freeI--draining soil.

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 IS 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 EarthworAr 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. Over time,
the performance of subsurface drainage systems can degrade, subsurface groundwater
flow patterns oan change, and utilities can break or develop leaks, ' Therefore, waterproofing
should be provided where future seeMe through the walls is not acceptable. This typically
Includes limiting cold -joints and wall penetrations, and using bentonite panels or
membranes on the outside of the walls. Waterproofing systems should be installed by an

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 ahy 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 \A/hen waterproofing is applied to the
outside of foundation and retaining walls,

SL.ABS-ON-GRADE
The building floors may be constructed as stabs -on -grade atop medium -dense native soil, or on
structural fill placed above competent native scils. The subgrade soil must be in a firm, non -
yielding condItIon at the tIFTit: Ur bIdU UU11tilluu1jull ul uIIjwI* * IOU Fill fjl4e,*ment. Any .5oft area3
encountered should be excavated and replaced with select, Imported structural fill.
All slabs -on -grade should be underlain by a capillary break or drainage layer ccnsistlng of a
minimum 4-inch thickness of coarse, free -draining structural fill with a gradation similar to that
discussed In Permanent Foundation and Retaining Wails. As noted by the Amedcan Concrete
Institute (ACI) in the Guides For Concrete Floor and Slab Structures, proper moisture protection is
desirable irnim-.diately, below any on -grade alab that will bc Covered by tile, wood, carpot,
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 1- 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 ovedep 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 41.5) 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 cudng of the concrete slab. Sand was not recommended by ACI for this purpose.
However, the use of rnwlvii�jl vvt�r the Vapor retarder Is controversial as noted In current A01
literature because of the potential that the proteclion/blotte'r material can become wet between the
time of Its placement and the installation of the slab. If the matedal is wet Prior to slab placement,
which is ahAlays possible in the Puget bound area, it cou!a cause vapor transmission to occur up
through the slab In the future. essentially destroying the purpose of the vapor barderfretarder.
Therefore, if there is a potential that the protectiontblotter material will become wet be -fore the slab
is installed, ACII now recommends that no protectionfblofter material be used. However, ACI then
recommends that, because there is a potential for slab cure due to the loss ot 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 F--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 ihe protection/blotter material. Our opinion is that with impervious surfaces that all
means should be undertaken to reduce water vapor transmission.
ROCKERIES

The primary function of a rocKery Is to cover the exposed, v=;,ivwLwd sufraC* ;alld there0y retaixi
the erosion process. We recommend limiting rockerles 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 6 feet, or that are placed in front crf loose soil or In areas of compacted fill will require
additional engineering.
The construction of rockedes is, to 2 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 rockery 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 rockery's face) of 113 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 ol maintenance and repair neeaeci -over lime. t-rovisions for maintenance, such
as access to the rookery, should be considered In the design, In general, we recommend that
rockarles have a minimum dimension of one-third the height of the slope out above them. Tiered
rockerie5 are not recommended, unless there Is sufficient space to construct Lipper tiers that do not
exert lateral pressure on the lower fiers. 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.

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 VertiC211Y 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 dense soils at the subject site would generally be
classified as Type A. Therefore, temporary cut slopes greater than 4 feet in height cannot be
excavated at an Inclination steeper than 0.75:1 (Hodzontal:Vartical), extending continuously
between the top and the bottom of a cut.
It is our professional opinion that the very dense glacial fill soil on this site could be safely
excavated to a temporary slope angle . of 0.5:1 (H:V). However, this is steeper than the
recommend ations presented in WAC-296. If this steeper inclination is used for temporary cut
slopes, a competent person must make a daily inspecton prior to the start of each work day to look
for evidence of possible instability or hazardous conditions related to worker safety near the out
slopes. A "competent person" is defined by WAC 296 as someone that can Identify existing or
predictable hazards related ' to safety and exercise the authority to take corrective action to
eliminate the hazard, if necessary. The upper soils above the dense till should still be inclined at a
maximum of 0.751 (H:V), and the out slopes should be covered with weighted plastic sheeting as
soon as completed. Additional considerations for the slope cuts at the site are includiad in the
General section of this report.

utility contractors should be made especially aware of this potential danger,
All permanent cuts Into neLlve soil should be inclined no steeper than 2:1 (H:V). Fill slopes should
also not be constructed with an inclination greater than 2:1 (H:V). Placement of structural fill on the
site slopes is discussed in the Generel section of this report.. To reduce the potential for shallow
sloughing, fill must be compacted to the face of these slopes. This can be accomplished by
overbuilding the compacted fill and then trimming It back to Its final Inclination. Adequate
compaction of the slope face is important for long-term Stability and is necessary to prevent
excessive settlement of patios, slabs, foundations, or other improvements that may be placed near
the edge of the slope.
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 surficlal layer of soil. Topsoil Is often placed on
regraded slopes to promote growth of vegetation. Proper preparation of the regraded surface, and
use of appropriate topsail is necessary to prevent the topsoil from sliding off the slope. This is
most likely to occur following extended wet weather If a silty topsoil Is used. On steeper slopes, it
may be necessary to "track walk" the slope or cut small grooves across the slope prior to placing
the topsoil.

DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Foundation drains 6hould be used where (1) crawl spaces or basements will be below a structure,
(2) a slab is below the outside grade, or (3) the outside gr-ade does not slope downward from a
building, Drains should also be placed at the base of all 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 z

crawl space will slope or be lower than the surrounding ground surface, (2) an excavation
encounters significant seepage, or (3) an excavation for a building will be close to the expected
high groundwater elevation*. We can provide recommendations for interior drains, should they
become necessary, during excavation and foundation construction.
As a minimum, a vapor retarder, as defined in the Slabs-On-Orade section, should be provided in
any crawl space area to limit the transmission of water vapor from the underlying Bolls. Also, an
outlet drain is recommended for ail 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 810POs. 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 the residence
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. Water
from roof, storm, water, and foundation drains should not be discharged onto slope$; it should be
tightlined to a suitable outfall located away from any sloPes.
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND STRUCTURAL FILL
All building and pavement areas should be stripped of surface vegetation, topsoil, organic soil, and
other deleterious material. 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 16 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 loedt;. All shuuLuieil rill �huulj be plazed in horizontal lift-5 with a rMoisture e8mient at, or
near, the optimum mcisture content. The optimum moisture content is that moisture content that
results In the greatest compacted dry density. The moisture content of fill is very importanj and
must be closely controlled during the filling and compacton process.

The allowable thickness of the fill lift will depend on the matedal 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 q, 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:

Use of On -Site Soil
If grading advities 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 VVIII 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 *oil 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 moisture content of the on -site
soil was generally above the estimated optimum moisture content at the time of our
explorations, The on -site silty sands underlying the topsoil * could be used as structural fill, if
grading operations are conducted during hot, dry weather. when drying the wetter soil by
aeration is possible. During excessively dry weather, however, it may be necessary to add
vv.1t6r to achieve the optirmurm rmolature contont.
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.

LIMITATIONS
The analyses, 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 mite z
commonly encountered on construction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking soil
0
samples in test pits. Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such
unexpected conditions frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly
m
zonstrueted p*rojeet. It i5 recormrmerided that the owner conaider providing a eontlngen�,Y fund- 1.6
accommodate such potential extra costs and risks. This Is a standard recommendation for all
projects.
The recommendations presented in this report are directed toward the protection of only the
proposed residence from damage due to slope movement. Predicting the future behavior of steep
slopes and the potential effects of development on their stability is an inexact and imperfect
science that is currently based mostly on the past behavior of slopes with similar characteristics.
Landslides and soil movement can occur on steep slopes before, during, or after the development
of property. At additional cost, we can provide ieuornmeridationts for reducing the risk of future
movement on the steep slopes, which could Involve regrading the slopes or Installing subsurface
drains or costly retaining structures. However, the owner must ultimately accept the possibility that
some slope movement could occur, resulting in possible lbss ot &ourid or dama& W tWfacilfties
around the proposed residence.
This report. has been prepared for the exclusive use of Doug Johnson Construction, and its
repro$ entatIVOS, for specific application to this project and site. Our recommendatons and
conclusions are based on observed site materials. Our conclusions and recommendabons are
professional opinions derived in accordance with current standards of practice within the scope of
mir neirvine.5 nnd %Mthin hudgf-,t and timn 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 spedfically described in our report for consideration in design.
ADDMONAL SERMES
In addition to reviewing the final plans, 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 tile 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.
