proposed for the lower west portion of the site, along the new access ro adway th at will

The use of rockeries may be necessary to transition grades in landscaping areas and to
provide permanent erosion control. along cuts. -Reinforced rockeries may also be utilized
along the back of the building lots located at, the top of the slope areas. Preliminary
design information indicates that the alignment of the reinforced fill rockery may be
located on the existing slopes.

The lower west portion of the development area is located at the toe of the existing
slope that approximately bisects the property in a north -south direction. The
immediate toe area of the site is relatively flat, and is located along an existing utility
easement corridor that connects to Main Street on the north and Pioneer Way on the
south. On the extreme west side of the property, west of the utility easement, there is
an area of ascending steep slopes. Development is not planned in this area.

Steep Slope Evaluation
At the time, our field exploration was performed (March 2002), the steep slope areas of
the site were observed for signs of instability or severe erosion. Based on our
observations, the steep
slope areas appear stable. There were no indications of shallow
Z
or deep seated slide activity. The slope ar eas are generally heavily vegetated with mature
01
Douglas Fir, and there were no indications of severe erosion due to surface water runoff.

Groundvvater
Groundwater seepage was not observed at the time of our exploration. (March 2002).
The presence of light to moderate groundvvater seepage, however, should be expected in

deep excavations. Based on the conditions observed at the time of our field exploration,
we do not anticipate groundmter seepage will adversely impact the earthwork.

Groundwater seepage levels and the rate of seepage are not static; fluctuations in the

Due to the dense condition of the glacial till soils and the stable condition of the steep
slope area, a minimum steep slope buffer of ten (10) feet from the top and toe of the
steep slope areas can be considered for the proposed single-family residences. As
previously discussed, the site survey prepared by Group Four, Inc. indicates that the

steep slope areas within the planned development area are limited to the north end of the

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soils lose all shear strength for short periods of
time during an earthquake. The effects of liquefaction may be large total and/or
differential settlement for structures with foundations founded in the liquefying soils..
Groundshaking of sufficient duration results in the loss of grain -to -grain contact and rapid
increase in pore water pressure, causing the soil to behave as a fluid for short periods of
time.

To have potential for liquefaction, a soil must be cohesionless with a grain size
distribution of a specified range (generally sands and silt); it must be loose to medium -
dense; it must be below the groundmter table; and it must be subject to sufficient
magnitude and duration of groundshaking.

APPENDIX A
FIEL EXPLORATION
E-10075.
Our field exploration was performed on March 28, 2002. Subsurface conditions at the
site were explored by observi ng a total of eleven test pit excavations. 'The test pits were
Zr
excavated . by a subcontractor of Phoenix. Development, Inc. The approximate test pit
0
locations were determined from existing landmarks presented on available plans.*. The
locations of the test should be
pits considered accurate only to the degree implied by the
method used. These approximate test pit locations are shown on the Test Pit Location
