INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the results of our Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation on Talbot Park Estates
located 'in Edmonds, Washington. The site is located at 7707 — 17 1 " Street SW in Edmonds as shown on
the Vicinity Map in Figure 1. A single-family residence is currently located on the site. The developer
plans to construct an access road near the western property line and divide the site into seven residential
lots. We understand that the existing residence will remain and will occupy one of the lots.
We have been retained to explore the subsurface conditions within the site, observe and map the slope
surficial conditions, and provide geotechnical engineering recorturiendations for foundations and
this study, we have been provided with a site plan

prepared by Lovell-Sauerland Associates, Inc. titled, "Preliminary Plat for Talbot Park Estates," dated
October 22 2002. The site plan shows the planned lot layout and access road alignment, and has
topographic, information. We have also been provided with a copy of a preliniinary geotechnical
ur er
evaluation report for the site, dated September 12, 2001, prepared by Liu & Associates, Inc. In yo lett

SrrE CONDMONS
Surface Conditions
The site is a semi -rectangular -shaped parcel covering approximately 2.1 acres. The site is bordered by
171" Street SW to the south and a residential lot to the west. A ravine borders the site on the eastern and
e time of our field reconnaissance
northern sides. A stream was flowing at the bottom of the ravine at th
on December 18, 2002 and February 3, 2003. The site features are shown on the Site Plan in Figure 2.
A residence with some outbuildings is situated in the southern portion ofthe site. This area is vegetated
with a grass lawn and young to mature deciduous and evergreen trees. The northern portion of the site is
undeveloped, and is vegetated with blackberry bushes, brush, and young to mature deciduous and
evergreen trees.
The main portion of the site slopes gently down toward the south. The ravine on the eastern side of the
site slopes moderately to steeply down toward the cast. The steep ravine slope is covered with ferns,
blackberry bushes, and young to mature deciduous and evergreen trees. Old growth stumps were
observed on the slopes.
We measured Cross -Sections A -A!, B-131, and C-C' using a 100-foot tape measure and a hand-held
clinometer. The cross -sections are presented as Figures 3, 4, and 5. The portion of the steep slope at
Cross -Section A -A', which has an approximate east -west orientation, has a total relief of approximately
30 feet. This portion of the ravine slopes toward the cast with inclinations as steep as 27 degrees. The
portion of the steep slope at Cross -Section B-B', which has an approximate southwest -northeast
orientation, has a total relief of approximately 60 feet. This portion of the ravine slopes down toward the
northeast with inclinations as steep as 40 degrees. The portion of the steep slope at Cross -Section C-C',
which has an approximate east -west orientation, has a total relief of approximately 25 feet, and slopes
down toward the east with inclinations as steep as 3 8 degrees.

Subsurface Conditions
Geology
Most of the Puget Sound region was affected by past intitision of continental glaciation. Thelastperiod
of glaciation, the Vashon Stade, ended approximately 10,000 to 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, the Puget Sound region was overridden by over 3,000 feet of ice. Soil layers overridden by the ice
sheet were compacted to a much greater extent than those that were not
The geologic units for this area are shown on the Geoloidc May of the Edmonds East and Part of the
in (U
Edmonds West Ouadrangles, Washin , by James P. M ard S Geological Survey, 1983). The site is
mapped as till, which is described as an unsorted mixture of silt, sand, and gravel. Drift is a similar unit
to till but has some sorting. Advance outwash and transitional bed materials are mapped a short distance
from the site. Advance outwash is described as sand with varying amounts of gravel. Transitional bed

material consists of bedded clay, silt, and fine sand. Our explorations

northeast section ofthe site, near the bottom of the ravine.
Explorations
The subsurface conditions within the site were explored on December 18, 2002 by excavating two hand
auger explorations, and on February 3, 2003 by excavating nine test pits with a backhoe. The hand auger
explorations extended to 'depths of 2.8 to 3.4 feet below the ground surface, and the test pits were
excavated to depths of 4.0 to 7.0 feet below the ground surface. The approximate locations of the
explorations are shown on the Site Plan in Figure 2. A representative ofNelson Geotechnical Associates,
Inc., (NGA) was present during the explorations, examined the soils and geologic conditions encountered,

encountered 0.6 to 1.5 feet of surficial topsoil material. Underlying the topsoil, we encountered silty fine
to medium sand with gravel to fine to medium sand with silt and gravel. These soils extended to the
bottom of the hand auger explorations, 2.8 to 3A feet below the ground surface.
Test Pit 6, located near the north end of the planned access road, encountered 1.5 feet of loose surficial fill
material composed of silty fine sand with roots and pieces of concrete. Our other eight test pit
explorations encountered a surficial layer of topsoil 1.0 to 2.8 feet thick Test Pits 3 and 4, located in the
northern portion ofthe site, encountered material generally consisting of sand with silt below the surficial
topsoil and extending to the bottom of the explorations. We interpret this material as outwash. The
remaining seven test pit explorations encountered silty sand with gravel beneath the topsoil and fill. This
material extended to the depth explored in these test pits, and was interpreted as glacial dri& Fine to
medium sand seams were observed within this material in Test Pits 5, 6, and 7.
We observed silt and clay material in several shallow hand excavations in the northeastern portion of the
site, on the slopes near the bottom of the ravine. We interpreted this silt and clay material as part of the
Transitional bed unit.
Hydrologic Conditions
Ground water seepage was not observed in any of our subsurface explorations or on the steep slope,
however, a perched gTound water condition could possibly develop above the low -permeability soils
found underlying the site.
Perched water occurs when surface water infiltrates through less dense, more permeable soils and
accumulates on top of the underlying, less permeable silts or flow into the joints found in the silt. The
more permeable soils, in this case, consist of topsoil and fill. The less permeable soils consist of the
underlying silty sand and silt. Perched water does not represent a regional ground water table within the
upper soil horizons. Perched water tends to vary spatially and is dependent upon the amount of rainfall.
We would expect the amount of ground water to decrease during drier times of the year and increase
during wetter periods. Also, ground water seepage could outcrop on the face of the steep slope during the
wetter periods of the year.

We estimate that there is a change in elevation of up to 60 feet across the steep slopes along the eastern
side of the site. The native soils that form the core of the slope are inferred to consist of competent
glacially -compacted soils. We observed small scarps on the slope that appeared to be the result of
shallow failures. A neighbor informed us that a failure occurred last year on a steep slope on the eastern
side of the creek We observed the scarp resulting from that failure, and some of the failed material near
the bottom of the slope. This failure is interpreted to have been a shallow surface failure, and may have
been the result of saturated slope conditions.

We did not observe seepage on the steep slopes. We did observe several bowed mature deciduous and
evergreen trees on the steep slopes. This is likely the result of soil creep. Based on the competent soils
that are believed to form the core of the slope, the absence of indications of past deep-seated slope
movement, and the absence of water seepage on the slope, we consider the slope to be stable with respect
to deep-seated movements. However, we did observe indications that the slope has experienced shallow
failures and gradual slope movement. We would expect that such events to continue in the future.
There is a significant potential for shallow sloughing events to occur within the steeper portions ofthe site
due to the steep inclination of the slopes. The potential for sloughing may be reduced by routing surface
water away from the top of slope, maintaining vegetation on the slope, and repairing any areas disturbed
during construction. Periodic monitoring of the site steep slopes is also recommended. With the
recommended setback these sloughing events should not adversely impact the planned structures.
Slope Stability
We analyzed global stability of the steep slope using a computer program titled XSTABL, version 5.2.
XSTABL is a two-dimensional, lirmt-equilibriurn, slope stability program. XSTABL generates random
potential failure surfaces and determines their corresponding factors of safety with respect to failure. The
factor ofsafety is defined as the ratio of the internal soil strength divided by the gravity driving forces that
cause failure. By generating a large number of random surfaces, the factor of safety can be obtained as
the lowest number calculated.
The geometry ofCross-Section B-B' was used for the slope stability analysis. ne factor of'safety against
slope failures affecting the ground surface 35 feet beyond the top ofthe steep slope was found to be above
1.5. The parameters and results for this analysis are shown in Figure 6. This analysis along with our field
observations is the basis for establishing the recommended building setbacks.
The shallow explorations within the upper portion of the cross-section B-B' encountered glacially
consolidated sandy soil. We observed transitional bed material consisting of silt and clay in the lower
section of the northern portion of the steep slope at cross-section B-B'. We did not perform laboratory
shear testing of the onsite materials. We established design strengths based on visual evaluation and
classification ofthe soils and our experience with similar conditions.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
It is our opinion that the planned development is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. It is also our
opinion that the soils that underlie the site and form the core of the site slopes should be stable with
respect to deep-seated earth movements, due to their inherent strength and slope geometry. These soils
Tb
should provide adequate support to standard shallow foundations. ere is a potential for shallow
sloughing and erosion events to occur on the steeper portions of the slope. We have provided
recommendations to reduce the potential of such events and a slope setback distances to reduce the risk of
adverse impacts to the residences should such events occur. This is further discussed in the Steep Slope
Setback subsection of this report.
The residences could be supported on conventional spread footings, provided that the foundation
excavations are advanced through any surficial fill, topsoil, or loose material and extended into medium
dense or better native oil.. overexcavated material should be replaced with rock spalls or structural fill.
The downhill footing lines, however, should be cast on native material.
Surface water nmoff and water from roof downspouts and yard areas should be collected and directed into
appropriate drainage systems to reduce the amount of water flowing onto the steep slopes. It will be
important to maintain the vegetation on the slope to reduce the erosion potential. The occurrence of
sloughing on the slope can be reduced by routing storm run-off into appropriate water lines away from the
slope or piping storm water to the base of the slope. Under no circumstances should water be allowed to
flow over or concentrate on the site slopes, both during construction and after construction has been
completed.
The soils likely to be exposed during construction are considered moisture -sensitive and will disturb and
erode easily when wet. 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
expecteddue to the wet conditions. Additional expenses could include the need to export on -site soil, the
import of clean, granular soil for fill, and the need to place a blanket ofrock spalls or crushed rock in the
construction traffic areas and exposed subgrades prior to placing structural fill or structural elements. We
do not recommend the use of on -site soils as structural fill in wet weather. After grading, the exposed

subgrade should be protected from construction traffic and surface runoff
Erosion Control Measures
The erosion hazard for the on -site soils site is considered moderate to high, depending on how The site is
graded and water is allowed to concentrate. Best Management Practices (BNWs) should be used to
control erosion. Areas disturbed during construction should be protected from erosion. Measures taken
may include diverting surface water away from the stripped areas and from flowing over the slope. Silt
wi ver
fences and/or straw bales should be erected to prevent muddy water from leaving the site or flo ng o
the top of the slope. Disturbed areas should be planted with vegetation at the end of construction. The
vegetation should be maintained until established. The erosion potential of areas not stripped of
vegetation should be low.
Steep Slope Setback
Uncertainties related to building along steep slopes are typically addressed by the use of building
ture an
setbacks. The purpose of a setback is to establish a buffer zone between a strue d the slope Margin,
so that ample room is allowed for normal slope surface regression or a minor slope failure. This setback
also protects the slope from the impacts of the development From a geological standpoint, a reasonable
setback is based on the slope's physical characteristics; e.g., slope height, surface angle, material
composition, hydrology, etc. Other factors such as historical slope activity, rate of regression and
earthwork activity along the toe of slope, are important considerations as well.
Based on our slope evaluation and observations, we recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance
of 25 feet between the top of the steep slope and the planned residences on Lots 2, 3, and 4. The slope in
the northern portion of the site is higher and has a steeper inclination. In addition, we observed silt and
clay material in the lower portion of the slope in a area. Silt and clay usually have lower strengths than
sand and gravel. For these reasons, and also based on our numerical slope stability analysis, we
recommend a minimum horizontal setback distance of 35 feet between the top of the steep slope and the
planned residences on Lots 5, 6, and 7.
The 35-foot setback for Lots 5, 6, and 7 could be reduced to 25 feet if the downhill foundation lines for
these residences are suitably deepened. For these lots, we recommend that the downhill foundation lines

should be retained to evaluate the residence foundation subgrade and setback distances prior to placing
foundation forms,
The existing residence on this site is located within 15 feet from the top of the steep slope. We do not
lmow the depth of this residence's foundations, and have not evaluated the suitability of the residence
setback from the steep slope.
Slope and Setback Protection
Protection of the setback and steep slope areas should be performed as required by the City of Edmonds.
Specifically, we recommend that the setback areas not be used for placement or storage of fill materials,
and excavation. Also, water should
including temporary excavation spoils from building area preparation
not be allowed to pond in the setback area or flow onto the face of the slope. It should be understood that
the closer site soil disturbance and development are to the slope, the more risk there is of decreasing slope
stability. Care should be taken to minimize disturbance to the slope and setback surficial soils and
vegetative cover both during and after construction.
Of great importance to the long-term stability of the slope is the control of surface and near -surface water,
and erosion protection. We recommend that all drains, including roof and yard drains, be dire a away
fi,om the top of slope and routed into a permanent discharge system. Surface drainage over the slope
should not be perruritted.
Site Preparation and Grading
The first step of site preparation should be to strip any topsoil and loose soils to expose medium dense or
better native soils in foundation, slab, and pavement areas. The stripped material should be removed from

readily-compactable condition exists. It may be necessary to overexcavate and remove wet soils in eases
where drying to a compactable condition is not feasible. All compaction should be accomplished by
equipment of a type and size sufficient to attain the desired degree of compaction.
Foundations
Conventional shallow spread foundations should be placed on undisturbed medium dense or better native
soils or be supported on structural fill or rock spalls extending to those soils, with the exception of the
downhill footing lines which should be cast on the native material. Where less -dense soils are
encountered at footing bearing elevations, the subgrade should be overexcavated to expose suitable
bearing soil. The overexcavation may be filled with structural fill or concrete, or the footing May be
extended to the bearing native soils. If footings are supported on structural fill, the fill zone should extend
outside the edges of the footing a distance equal to one-half of the depth of overexcavation below the
finished subgrade.
Both perimeter and interior footings should extend at least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent finished
ground surface for frost protection and bearing capacity considerations. Nfininium foundation widths of
16 and 24 inches should be used for continuous and isolated spread footings, respectively, for tw0-stmY
structures and 18 and 24 inches for continuous and isolated footings, respectively, for thre-stOry
structures. Standing water should not be allowed to accumulate in footing trenches. All loose or
disturbed soil should be removed from the foundation excavation prior to placing concrete.
For foundations constructed as outlined above, we recommend an allowable design bearing pressure ofno
more thart 2,000 pounds per square foot (psi) be used for designing footings founded on the native
medium dense soils or structural fill extending to the silt. The foundation bearing soil should be
evaluated by NGA at the time of construction. We should be consulted if higher bearing pressures we
needed. Current Uniform Building Code (UBQ guidelines should be used when considering increased
allowable bearing pressure for short-term transitory wind or seismic loads. Potential foundation
settlement using the recommendcd allowable bearing pressure is estimated to be less than I inch total and
1/2 inch differential between adjacent footings or across a distance of about 30 feet, based on our
experience with sintilar residential projects.

Lateral loads may be resisted by friction on the base of the footing and passive resistance against the
subsurface portions ofthe foundation. A coefficient of friction of 0.35 may be used to calculate the base
friction and should be applied to the vertical dead load only. Passive resistance may be calculated as a
triangular, equivalent fluid pressure distribution. An equivalent fluid density of 200 pounds per cubic foot
(pcf) should be used for passive resistance design for a level ground surface adjacent to the footing. This
level surface should extend horizontally a distance equal to at least three times the depth of the footing.
These recommended values incorporate safety factors of 1.5 and 2.0 applied to the estimated ultimate
values for frictional and passive resistance, respectively. To achieve this value ofpassive resistance, the
foundations should be poured "neat" against the native medium dense soils or compacted fill should be
used as backfill against the footing. We recommend that the upper foot of soil be neglected when
calculating the passive resistance.
Slabs -on -Grade
Slabs -on -grade should be supported on subgrade soils prepared as described in the Site Preparation and
Grading subsection of this report. We recommend that all floor slabs be underlain by at least 6 inches Of
free -draining sand or gravel for use as a capillary break- We recommend that the capillary break be
under the slab. A suitable
hydraulically connected to the footing drain system to allow free drainage from
vapor barrier, such as heavy plastic sheeting (6-mil minimum), should be placed over the capillary break
material. An additional 2-inch-thick sand blanket may be used to cover the vapor barrier. This sand
blanket is to protect the vapor barrier membrane and to aid in curing the concrete.
Site Drainage

appropriate storm water collection system. Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where
footings, slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. Final site grades should allow for drainage away from

Re: Geotechnical Investigation
Proposed Residence — Lot 3
17007 771h Place West
Edmonds, Washington
RMP Project No. 05-352-01
Dear Mr. Kvernmo,
This report presents the results of our site exploration and geotechnical evaluation for a
proposed single family residence in the Charlotte Garden development in Edmonds.
The property is situated on the east side of 771h Place West and just north of an existing
residence. It is understood that the two story structure will extend from the front ten
foot building setback line to near the top of a steep slope located on the east side of the
property.
The purpose of this investigation was to establish the nature of the subsurface soil
conditions that will provide support to the structure, and to provide recommendations
for the design and construction of the residence. Preliminary plans for the house show a
finish floor elevation Of 103 feet, and site grades that range from 107 to io2 feet. USGS
mapping for this area of Edmonds was used as a reference for this investigation.
Site Conditions
Previous clearing and grading have been performed on this site in connection with the
overall seven lot development. The access street has been paved and utilities have been
installed to serve the residential lots. Observations of the ground conditions indicate
that fill has been placed on this and adjacent lots to create the existing grades that slope
generally toward the northeast.
A steep slope descends down toward the easterly side of this lot approximately 20 feet to
an existing drainage channel. The slope is heavily covered with vines and native shrubs,
and there are some mature trees located on this slope that has a gradient of about
11/2 HaV. Observations of this slope showed no evidence of gross failures or instability
that would affect the proposed construction.
According to Minard (USGS — 1983) this area of Edmonds is underlain by glacial till

(Qvt) and advanced outwash deposits (Qva). Two exploratory trenches were dug in the
area of the proposed residence to confirm the presence of fill soils and to classify the
underlying native soils. Both test pits encountered soft fill soils to a depth of two feet
that contained organics. Below the fill were topsoil and medium dense silty sands that
were categorized as weathered till. Groundwater seepage was not encountered in either
exploratory test pit. Summary logs of these test pits are shown on Appendix A.
Geotechnical Recommendation
on the basis of our site inspection and subsurface exploration, the proposed residence
may be supported on the medium dense to dense native silty sands using conventional
bearing wall footings. An allowable soil bearing value of 2000 psf may be used in the
design of these footings that should have a minimum depth of 18 inches below final
exterior grade., This value may be increased by 1/3 to account for temporary seismic or
wind loadings. A passive earth pressure Of 200 pcf may be used to resist lateral forces.
Because the house is to be constructed within five feet of the top of slope on the easterly
side of the lot, it is recommended that the east foundation wall be supported on driven
two inch diameter pipe piles. These piles should be Schedule So galvanized pipe that
are driven to refusal into the native till soils. Refusal is defined as less than one inch of
penetration over a period of one minute of driving with ago# pneumatic hammer. Each
pile may be loaded UP to 4 kips.
Some excavation will be required to establish the building pad for the residence
foundations. Excavated soils should not be used for structural fill under the residence,
but may be placed in landscape areas or hauled offsite. Normal erosion control
procedures should be in place for construction of this residence in the coming winter
months.
Site drainage improvements will include the installation of footing subdrains, area
drains and roof down drains. Discharge of these drains should be into the existing
storm water system installed as part of the street improvements.
Summm
Construction monitoring and consultation services should also be provided to verify that
subsurface conditions are similar to those described in this report. Should conditions be
revealed during construction that vary from the anticipated subsurface profile, we will
evaluate those conditions and provide alternative recommendations where appropriate.
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on 1) our
interpretation and evaluation of soil conditions on this site, 2) confirmation of the actual

subsurface conditions encountered during construction, and 3) the assumption that
sufficient observation and testing will be performed during the appropriate phases of
the work.
Our findings and recommendations in this report were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted principles of geotechnical engineering as practiced in the Puget
Sound area at the time our work was performed. We make no warranty, either express
or implied.

This report presents the results of our site inspections and field observations made
th din
Place West in E onds
during construction of the single family residence at 17007 77
Following our final plan review and onsite pre -construction meeting, we performed
periodic site inspections that included the following:
Erosion Control — this site is on a gentle hillside development that is protected by
heavy native shrubs and mature trees on the descending slope area to the east; a
silt fence was placed along the east side of the building pad area to control storm
water runoff and to prevent siltation on the adjacent slope; no erosion or siltation
problems occurred during site excavation and foundation construction on this
site; final landscape planting will provide permanent erosion control for this site.
Observe and Monitor Excavation — the building pad was excavated to the final
subgrade elevation and there were no temporary cut slopes required for this site;
maximum depth of excavation was on the order of three feet on the south side of
the building pad;
Foundation Installation —the foundations consisted of continuous bealing wall
footings for the house and garage; exposed soils in the footing trenches consisted
of medium dense to dense silty sands and stiff silts; the entire building pad was in
native soils; the recommended bearing value of 2000 psf was confirmed by site
inspection;
Subdrains— Perimeter subdrains were installed around the house and garage
foundations, and they were embedded in drain rock and covered aeofilter
