Dear Ms. Patterson:
INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our geotechnical engineering investigation for your Meadowdale
Estates residential development in the Meadowdale area of Edmonds, Washington. The site is located at
6880 -172n, Street SW, as shown on the Vicinity Map in Figure 1.
ty la t, has been substantially
Site development, including grading, road construction, and utili p cemen
completed. We understand that you have purchased all of the building lots, with the exception of Lot 2,
for the purposes of constructing single-family residences. The City of Edmonds has required a
geotechnical report for the lots with slopes greater than 15 percent, and you have requested that we
sed
evaluate the subsurface conditions of your lots and provide foundation recommendations for the propo
residences. For our use in preparing this report, we have been provided with a copy of a site plan by CHS
Engineering, dated September 2003, that shows lot, road, and utility layout. We have also been provided
with a Slope Stability Evaluation, prepared by GeoEngineers and dated June 18, 2002, that addresses the
detention facility. Additionally, we have been provided with field reports prepared by Sky Valley Testing
that document compaction testing performed during the main earthwork phase of the project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The L-shaped project site has maximum dimensions of approximately 640 feet north to south and 440 feet
east to west. The development consists of a total of 12 lots. We understand that you intend to construct

SITE CONDITIONS
Surface Conditions
At the time of our exploration, the access road (69' Place W) was paved. Site grading was also complete
and grass was growing on all of the lots. The storm water detention vault and utilities bad all been
completed, but no residences had been constructed yet. A layout ofthe site is shown on the SitePlan in
Figure 2.
Generally, the ground surface slopes downward towards the west at approximately 3 Horizontal to 1
Vertical (311: IV). An existing residence borders the southwestern comer of the site and 172n1 Street SW
borders the site to the south. The rest of the site is surrounded by a wooded area with brush and evergreen
trees up to approximately 2 fi�et in diameter.

Geology
Most of the Puget Sound Region was affected by past intrusion of continental glaciation. The last period
of glaciation, the Vasbon Stade of the Fraser Glaciation, ended approximately 11,000 years ago. Many of
the geomorphic features seen today are a result of scouring and overriding by glacial ice. During the
Vashon Stade, much of the Puget Sound region was overridden by over 3,000 feet of ice. Soil layers
z
overridden by the ice sheet were compacted to a much greater extent than those that were not. Part of a
typical glacial sequence includes recessional ourwash sand underlain by glacial till.
The site is mapped as being underlain by glacial till (Preliminary Surficial Geologic May) of the Edmonds

Our site explorations encountered glacial till, recessional outwash, and fill. Glacial till, commonly
referred to as "hardpan," is an unsorted mixture of sand, silt, and gravel that is deposited at the bottom of
a continental glacier. As a result ofhaving been consolidated under the weight of the glacier, glacial till
exhibits both high strength and low permeability. Alluvial sand and gravel deposited by glacial melt
water during glacial recession is known as recessional outwasb. In contrast to glacial till, recessional
outwash has not been glacially consolidated.
Explorations
Subsurface conditions were explored at the site on December 28, 2004, by excavating a total of five test
pits. ne test pits were excavated to depths ranging between 0.5 and 11,0 feet below the ground surface.
The explorations were located in the field by a representative from this firm who also examined the soils
and geologic conditions encountered, and maintained logs of the test pits. The approximate locations of
the test pits are shown on the Site Plan in Figure 2. The soils were visually classified in general
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System, a copy of which is presented as Figure 3. ne
logs of the test pits are presented in Figures 4 and 5.
Subsurface Conditions
A brief description of the conditions encountered in our explorations is included below. For a more
detailed description of the soils encountered, review the test pit logs in Figures 4 and 5.

Our explorations encountered glacial till, recessional outwash, and fill. Test Pits 3, 4 and 5 were
excavated in cut areas and all encountered very dense till within one foot of the surface. Test Pits I and 2
encountered approximately 4.0 and 5.0 feet of fill, respectively. Beneath the fill, Test Pit I encountered
recessional outwash. Test Pit 2 encountered a layer of topsoil underlying the fill. The topsoil layer was
underlain by weathered glacial till becoming glacial till. It should be noted that loose soils in the areas of
Test Pits i and 2 extend at least 4.0 and 6.0 feet below the ground surface, respectively.
Hydrologic Conditions
Shallow ground water seepage was encountered in Test Pit 2 at a depth of approximately 1.0 foot. We
consider this water to be perched, and associated with surface runoff. The on -site till, in particular, is
considered poorly draining. During the wetter times of the year, we expect perched water conditions will
occur as pockets of water on top of the till layer. Perched water does not represent a regional ground
water "table " within the upper soil horizons. Volumes of perched ground water vary depending upon the
time ofyear and the upslope recharge conditions.
Erosion Hazard
The erosion hazard criteria used for determination of affected areas includes soil type, slope gradient,
vegetation cover, and ground water conditions. The erosion sensitivity is related to vegetative cover and
the specific surface soil types (group classification), which are related to the underlying geologic soil
units. The Soil Survey of Snohomish County Area Washington by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS)
was reviewed to determine the erosion hazard of the on -site soils. The site surface soils were classified
using the SCS classification system as Unit 5 (Alderwood — Urban Land Complex). The corresponding
geologic unit for these soils is till, which is generally in agreement with the soils encountered in our site
explorations. The erosion hazard for the soil is listed as being slight for slopes less than 8 percent. The
moderately -sloping portions of the site may encounter higher levels of erosion, but not to such a degree
that the site would be classified an erosion hazard. Best management practices 03MPs) and applicable
codes should be 161lowed during site grading to limit potential for erosion, We do not expect this site will
require unusual or extreme erosion management methods. There are no water bodies adjacent to the site.

Seismic Hazard
The site is classified based on its overall soil profile using Table 1615.1.1 of the 2003 International
Building Code (113C). Site conditions best fit the IBC definition for Site Class C ("Very dense soil and
soft rock"). The IBC provides parameters and coefficients to be used in seismic design based upon this
site class z
Additional seismic considerations include liquefaction potential and amplification of ground motions by
soft soil deposits. The liquefaction potential is highest for loose sand with a high ground water table. The
underlying dense till is considered to have a very low potential for liquefaction and amplification of
ground motion.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
It is our opinion that the site is compatible with the planned development. The underlying medium dense
to very dense glacial till deposits are capable of supporting the planned structures and pavements. We
recommend that the foundations for the structures extend through any topsoil, fill, loose, or disturbed
soils, and bear on the underlying medium dense to very dense, native glacial till, or on structural fill
extending to these soils. Based on our explorations, we anticipate these soils will generally be
encountered at typical footing depths in the cut areas of the site. Fill encountered in Test Pits I and 2 was
loose. As a result, areas of fill may need to be over -excavated and properly compacted. Alternatively,
foundations could be constructed to extend through the loose soils.
The soils likely to be exposed during construction are highly moisture sensitive and will disturb easily
when wet or during wet conditions. We recommend that construction take place during the drier summer
months, if possible. If construction takes place during the wet season, additional expenses and delays
should be expected due to the wet conditions.
Site Preparations and Grading
The first step of site preparation should be to strip the vegetation, topsoil, or loose soils to expose medium
dense to very dense native soils in pavement and building areas. This material should be removed from
the site, or stockpiled for later use as landscaping fill. The resulting subgrade should be compacted to a

firm, non -yielding condition. Areas observed to pump or weave should be repaired prior to placing hard
surfaces.
The on -site glacial till likely to be exposed during construction is considered highly moisture sensitive,
and the surface will disturb easily when wet. We expect these soils would be difficult, if not impossible,
to compact to structural'fill specifications in wet weather. We recommend that earthwork be conducted
during the drier months. Additional expenses of wet weather or winter construction would include extra
excavation and use of imported fill or rock spalls.
Structural Fill
General: All fill placed beneath buildings, pavements or other settlement sensitive features should be
placed as structural fill. Structural fill, by definition, is placed in accordance with prescribed methods and
Field -
standards, and is monitored by an experienced geotechnical professional or soils technician.
monitoring procedures would include the performance of a representative number of in -place density tests
to document the attainment of the desired degree of relative compaction.
Materials: Imported structural fill should consist of a good quality, free -draining granular soil, free of
organics and other deleterious material, and be well graded to a maximum size of about 3 inches.
Imported, all-weatber structural fill should contain no more than 5 percent fines (soil finer than a Standard
U.S, No. 200 sieve), based on that fraction passing the U.S. 3/4-inch sieve.
The use of on -site soil as structural fill will be dependent on moisture content control. Some drying of the
native soils may be necessary in order to achieve compaction. During warm, sunny days this could be
accomplished by spreading the material in thin lifts and compacting. Some aeration and/or addition of
moisture may also be necessary. We expect that compaction of the native soils to structural fill
specifications would be difficult, if not impossible, during wet weather.
ral fill may proceed. Fill
Fill Placement: Following subgrade preparation, placement of the structu
should be placed in 8- to 10-inch-thick uniform lifts, and each lift should be spread evenly and be
thoroughly compacted prior to placement of subsequent lifts. All structural fill underlying building areas,
and within a depth of 2 feet below pavement and sidewalk subgrade, should be compacted to at least 95
percent of its maximum dry density. Maximum dry density, in this report, refers to that density as

mpacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density. The

moisture content of the soil to be compacted should be within about 2 percent of optimum so that a
readily compactable condition exists. It may be necessary to overexcavate and remove wet surficial soils
in cases where drying to a compactable condition is not feasible. All compaction should be accomplished z
bv eauiDment of a type and size sufficient to attain the desired degree of compaction.
Temporary and Permanent Slopes
Temporary cut slope stability is a function of many factors, such as the type and consistency of soils,
depth of the cut, surcharge loads adjacent to the excavation, length of time a cut remains open, and the
presence of surface or ground water. It is exceedingly difficult under these variable conditions to estimate
a stable temporary cut slope geometry. Therefore, it should be the responsibility of the contractor to
maintain safe slope configurations, since the contractor is continuously at the job site, able to observe the
nature and condition of the cut slopes, and able to monitor the subsurface materials and ground water
conditions encountered.
We anticipate cuts for the daylight basements of your proposed residences. For plarming purposes, we
recommend that temporary cuts in the near -surface weathered soils be no greater than IH: IV. Cuts in the
fill should be no greater than 1.5H:IV. Cuts in the dense to very dense till may stand at a 0.75H:IV
inclination or possibly steeper. If ground water seepage is encountered, we would expect that flatter
inclinations would be necessary.
We recommend that cut slopes be protected from erosion. Measures taken may include covering cut
slopes with plastic sheeting and diverting surface runoff away from the top of cut slopes. We do not
recornmend vertical slopes for cuts deeper than 4 feet, ifworker access is necessary. We recommend that
cut slope heights and inclinations conform to local and WISHA/OSHA standards.
Final slope inclinations for structural fill and the cuts in the native soils should be no steeper than 2HAV.
Lightly compacted fills or common fills should be no steeper than 3H:IV, Common fills are defined as
fill material with some organics that are "trackrolled" into place. They would not meet the compaction
specification of structural fill. Final slopes should be vegetated and covered with straw or jute netting.
The vegetation should be maintained until it is established.

The lateral earth pressure acting on retaining walls is dependent on the nature and density of the soil
behind the wall, the amount of lateral wall movement that can occur as backfill is placed, and the
inclination of the backfill. Walls that are free to yield at least one -thousandth of the height of the wall are
in an "active" condition. Walls restrained from movement by stiffness or bracing are in an "at -rest"
z
condition. Active earth pressure and at -rest earth pressure can be calculated based on equivalent fluid
R1
density. Equivalent fluid densities for active and at -rest earth pressure of 35 pounds per cubic foot (pcf)
and 5;ipcf, respectively, may be used for design for a level backslope. i6i'ment fluid densities for

for design for a 20 degree backslope. These values assume that the on -site soils are used for backfill,

foundation loads, traffic or other surface loads. Surcharge effects should be considered where

appropriate.
The above lateral pressures may be resisted by friction at the base of the wall and passive resistance
against the foundation. A coefficient of friction of 0.45 may be used to determine the base friction when
supported on the above recommended foundation subgrade preparation alternatives. An equivalent fluid
density of 225 pcf should be used for passive resistance. The friction value does not incorporate a safety
factor. A safety factor of 2 is applied to the passive pressure to limit movement.
All wall backfill should be well compacted. Care should be taken to prevent the buildup ofexcess lateral

backfill in 8-inch loose lifts and compacting with small, band -operated compactors.
Slabs -On -Grade
Slab-on-gradc areas should be prepared as recommended in the Site Preparation and Grading
subsection. Slabs should be supported on medium dense to very dense native soils, or on structural fill
extending to these soils. Where moisture control is a concern, we recommend that slabs be underlain by 6
inches of free -draining coarse sand or pea gravel for use as a capillary break. A suitable vapor barrier,
such as heavy plastic sheeting, should be placed over the capillary break.

Drainage
We recommend that runoff from impervious surfaces, such as roofs, driveway and access roadways, be
collected and routed to an appropriute storm water discharge system. Final site grades should allow for
drainage away from any buildings. We suggest that the finished ground surface be sloped at a gradient of
3 percent minimum for a distance of at least 10 feet away from the buildings. Surface water should be
collected by permanent catch basins and drain lines, and be discharged into a storm drain system.
We recommend that footing drains be used around all of the structures where moisture control is
important. The underlying till will pond water that accumulates in the crawl space. It is good practice to
use footing drains installed at least I foot below the planned finished floor slab or crawl space elevation to
provide drainage for the crawl space. At a minimum, the crawl space should be sloped to drain to an
-on-grade cars where moisture
outlet tied to the drainage system. if drains are omitted around slab fl
control is important, the slab should be a minimum of I foot above surrounding grades.
Where used, footing drains should consist of 4-inch-diameter, perforated PVC pipe that is surrounded by
free -draining material, such as pea gravel. Footing drains should discharge into tightlines leading to an
appropriate collection and discharge point. Crawl spaces should be sloped to drain, and a positive
connection should be made into the foundation drainage system. For slabs -on -grade, a drainage path
should be provided from the capillary break material to the footing drain system. Roof drains should not
be connected to wall or footing drains.
'MONITORING
We should be retained to provide monitoring and consultation services during construction to confirm that
the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, and to provide
recommendations for design changes, should the conditions revealed during the work differ from those
-N anticipated.
