4. 2007 Landau Summary Report
Terra ' Associaies, Inc.. discussed, this in our- report dated March 31, .2008. On Pages' .3 and 4, we state:
The site ,is within. ihe.1Vorth Edmonds Earth Subsidence' and. Landslide Hazard Area, as defined by, -,Edmonds -
Community Development 'Code Chapter. - 19.10. Our ,`previous , study, outlines the :hazards associated :with.
development .on the property: The ' hazards outlined in ;,the referenced . 2007Landau Associates study. are
consistent with "the hazards.outlined in"ourprevious study. In the Preparation.of this•report; we havereviewed.
the'referenced'2007 LandauReport. Based, on our, experience :on-site and our observations'in-the neighborhood,
we have. identified the site, as being within Zone: B .as shown on. Figure 1 of the 2007 Landau report: ;The slope
immediately'easi and uphill from the building. site lies within Zone'C'and D: ;The risk'of•.earth m'o'vement in.the.
2007 Landau Report for Zone B consists of
•: Encroaching. landslide debris originating upslope
• Reactivaiion.pf, landslide debris causing ground failure and movement:
• Landsi'des in ground that has not previously failed
Based, on our observations on,the plat since 1988,, we concur that.the•first'two risks, of ground movement are
possible. The entire site, consists. of earth thathas moved at some. fime ,in the ' past so the .third "risk is" not
applicable on this site. We, analyzed the probability, of.land•sliding and'movement for our report for the plat of . .
Lorian Woods. "We identified the hazards of earth movement in,the area upslope from the building lot as being -5
percent in a 25=year.per od. We identified the •risk of movement within the building lot as being 12 percent in a
25 -year period.' ;
Development of the lot involves 'an element.of risk that, homeowner accept., Stewardship .of the
vegetation and .drainage facilities on. the site will be "an important ,element of the project over the. life of the
house.

-'Mr. Brian Isaacson
June 5, 2009
- -Encroaching Landside Debris Originating Upslope `
We have made periodic visits to 'the plat for geotechnical purposes over the past '20 years.: ,Only one "signijicant .
episode of. movement has been documentedto have occurred on. or adjacent, .to. the- site'in that period: :This
movement is the slope failure that occurred iri'the winter of .200512006along the upper edge.. df the.slope above_
-the Plat of Lorian. Wood's.,.; This failure occurred immediately adjacent to.a house built,in about 2000. The slope..,
failure resulted in the ,retreat"of the top of the slope by `approximately f ve to' ten feet. 4Ve understand: that the'
previous 1.occupant-of the house has moved, the house is vacant, and that the property, has-not,:been fully evaluated
by a geotechnical , engineer.. :The actual cause of. the slope failure. has. not' been :determined.' `The 2005/2006, .
failure .resembled a. toppling 'or calving of the upper l0 to 1.5 feet of. the. slope. All of the soil was either cdught
behinda cedar log that is. wedged behind a .pair of stumps orit mounded upon the upper' portion of the slope.,
immediately -northeast of the building lot:':The:soils from-•thisfailure that encroached.onto.the.building lot,and
proposed
budding. env elope:were eroded by running water and redeposited as.sedirrient lower on the site.- Based...
on our observations on-site, we estimate the volume of failed material ds' being about 40 to SO cubic.'ards.
In the fall of 2007, the .older' trees on the, slope above the lot were" removed.'' A report was prepared ;by Urban"
Foresters, that, cataloged., the, diseased trees on_ the slope.. We' expressed our concurrence. wiih':the. ,tree
management and replanting- report prepared by. Urban Foresters dated March. 4i, 2006. A signifccarit. risk' that.. .
: occurs.. during;.landslides' is` -the action of the trees. ' The,.trees on. the: site that were found. to'.be diseased or
damaged have. been removed. 'The restoration,of the. trees will result in -trees that provide. a canopy, but Have
smaller trunks to reduce the.; Potential for damage from trees that may become involved in.earth movements.
The top of the slope ;east and above the site may "be regarded :as a "bluff top: Based. on :the observations. _
documented in this :report,' we estimate, that the retreat. of the top, of the bluff may be on.the ,order.of 10feet:per.
50=year•period. ,Unless the uphill neighbor provides mitigation for the recent bluff top.retreat, :further.retreat of
the bluff will occur. This'mode of slope failure can be mitigated with a catchment.wall above:ihe;proposed,house
io.`stop `the .landslide debris from impacting the house. Regular re'movalYgf calved and -eroded soils: will be'
required on the slope above the house overthe life of ihe,structure. We would expect that,the risk of,this'threat
would educed in the future by. improvements on the_.uphill property.
Provided- the 'recornme'ndations contained: in this. report: are, incorporated. into � site -'development plans, it.. is our
opinion'that the: development will not -increase the; risk of-instab"ility or the rate.of bluff,top retreat above the site.
5. Unmitigated Risks .
On Page 5 of our report dated Mach 31, 2008, we state:`
Reactivation of Landslide- Debris Causing,Ground Failure anal Movement
In .'regards to the risk of movement, of previously failed materials, the second `mode of failure, in. the bullet list

WILDING DEPARTiPi N- i
Cr N of ED MOWS
-CITY Z, r1�
Dear Sir:
The City recently sent a review package to our client that -requested a letter with specific
language as a release of liability to the City of Edmonds. The design team for this project
is:
Western Engineer, Inc;. Barry R. Constant, P.E.; Project Manager, Civil Engineer, .
Terra Associates;: Chuck Lie,'Geotechnical Engineer
Reed and Associates, Inc.; Wendel Reed, Structural Engineer
Landscape Architect; Jennifer Lee, Licensed Professional
As the lead design Professional Engineer providing services to our client; Mr. & Mrs.'
Brian Isaacson, my team and I have reviewed the geotechnical report and understand it's
recommendations and have incorporated these design recommendations into the site civil
design of this.project.
The design parameters that my team and I' have designed for the civil drawings are using
industry standard design measures to reduce the potential risk of injury or damage from
any earth movement predicted in the report. Although the recommendations in the
geotechnical report' will have been followed during the construction on this site, this
engineer does not guarantee the long-term maintenance of these items. These
maintenanceitems are under the control of the client and not under direct supervision by
myself. Maintenance will be required as long •as there are no installed permanent
solutions to the' landslide hazard area. And further: in my judgment, the plans and
specifications prepared by the structural engineer conform .to the recommendations in the
geotechnical report.
LAND USE CONSULTANTS • CIVIL ENGINEERS 9 LAND SURVEYORS • ENGINEERING CORPORATION
That the risk of damage to the proposed development, or to adjacent properties, from soil
instability will be minimized subject to the conditions set forth in the report and that the
-proposed development will not increase the potential for soil movement. Minimized shall
mean that the applicant has utilized best available science and commonly accepted
engineering and architectural practice to minimize, to the extent possible, the risks
associated with development of the property.
The risk of onsite soil movement in the building site area probability within the next 25 -
years is appfoximately 12 percent. This is based on long-term study -by our team
geotechnical engineer (Mr. Chuck Lie) who personally has studied this landslide hazard
area.for 20 -years. By studying the various geotechnical reports issued for the site over
the last 20 -years and using common and standard engineering practices for the erosion
and sedimentation control, as well as the long term drainage solutions engineered and
incorporated into the site will minimize land movement activities. Please see letter from
the landscape architect for additional information
The upper catchment wall, as designed by Reed and Associates, Inc. with assistance from
Chuck Lie has been designed to stop low velocity landslide activated soils from
contacting the house structure. An onsite deep boring was advanced in the area of the
proposed wall. This wall has three feet of exposed wall above a very deep soldier pile
support structure. The site is designed to allow a small, lightweight, powered or
unpowered wheeled container to remove any soil spoils from the upper wall area and
transport them down slope safely. This type of maintenance is not guaranteed by this
letter. Please see letter from the landscape architect for additional information
The Landscape Architect will provide deep-rooted planting that remove water from the
loose upper soils on site. The landscaping will also provide small trees to provide the
same function. Please see letter from the landscape architect for additional information
The Landau Geotechnical report, dated 2007, identified certain areas as landslide hazards
for this site and certain recommendations to reduce and minimize these hazards. Western
Engineers in conjunction with Terra Associates have reviewed, designed and.approved
the site engineering for the house structure location and elevations, retaining walls and
catchment wall above the retaining walls. We have reviewed all structural and retaining
I all footing drains and provided an extensive underground drainage conveyance system
capable of removing and directing any runoff away from the house structure and
retaining walls, down slope directly into the City drainage system on the roadway below
the new house. Reducing and removing storm water runoff from the soils onsite is the
number one risk reduction factor associated with earth movement.
No one has control over the potential for shallow or deep-seated earthquake induced land
movement, but we have reduced the ability of the land to move on pressurized (water
pressure) underground soils, which could enhance additional land movement. The
attached soil boring water levels and -the attached information regarding the piezometer
r.
reading all, indicate thatthe existing ground water levels has been reduced over time.
Please call me nor any of the design team if you have questions regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
Western Engineers; Inc. p

3. Supplemental Letter, Geotechnical Summary, Project No. T-840-10,
prepared by Terra Associates, Inc., dated June S, 2009
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Isaacson:
As requested, Terra Associates, Inc. (Terra) has provided geotechnical engineering services during construction of
the subject project. We have provided consultation services during the planning, design, and permitting phases of
this project. The referenced report and tetters contain our recommendations and discussion of the project.
The purpose of our work was to verify that the geotechnical elements of the project design have been completed
in accordance with recommendations outlined in our geotechnical report for the project. Our work was provided
with periodic site visits coordinated with your contractor, Mr. Jim Arnold. We have previously submitted our
field observations in memos that were sent to you, the contractor, and the City of Edmonds.

The city required the following elements in our observations services:
1. Soils (IBC 1704.7)
The special inspections were conducted to verify compliance with the geotechnical recommendations in
our referenced report and letters for the project that satisfy the requirements of IBC 1802 and the City of
Edmonds requirements.
2. Soil Bearing Verification
Terra made periodic site visits during construction. Representatives of Terra Associates verified adequate
bearing for the foundations within the house footprint and for the upper catcluuent wall prior to
placement of concrete. Adequate bearing was observed in the footing excavations for an allowable
bearing pressure of 1,500 pounds per square foot.
3. Structural Fill Placement and Compaction/Placement
Tena observed the placement of structural fill within the footprint of the house, along the eastern margin
of the house for the foundation of the catchment wall, and behind the catchment wall. The lower -level
basement wall was backfilled with site material compacted in place. Compaction testing and observations
during fill placement indicated that adequate compaction was achieved.
The upper basement wall along the east margin of the house was backfilled with crushed rock chips that
were compacted in place with a vibratory sled compactor. The upper catchment wall was backfilled with
clean sand and compacted in place with a vibratory. sled compactor. These upper two walls were
backfilled using a conveyer belt boom truck to place material above the house footprint. The backfill for
the two upper walls consisted of free draining soils.
4. Foundation and Site Draius/Footing Drains
We observed that perforated footing drains and a separate tightiine for roof downspout drains were
placed. We also observed that the basement walls were provided with a drainage board manufactured by
Delta. Based on our observationsi the subsurface drains and downspout tightlines were placed in
accordance with our recommendations and the project plans.
We observed that the upper seepage zones were controlled during constnrction to reduce impacts on the
area cleared for constnrction from the accumulated seepage. The pennanent site drainage features
include a swale along the top of the catchment wall with two yard drains to collect surface runoff, the
upper drainage network, yard drains in the patio area behind the house, and tightlines for the downspouts.
All elements of the drainage system will need to be maintained over time. This includes keeping gutters
clear of debris.

5, General Site Nionitoring During Wet Weather Construction
We made periodic site visits during periods of time that site excavation or backfill operations were under
way. We observed that site activities did not create any site stability or erosion issues. We observed that
visqueen was used to prevent erosion from precipitation. During our site visit, we did not observe any
off-site transport of sediments.
6. Temporary Erosion Control
We made periodic site visits during periods of time that site excavation or backfill operations were under
way. We observed that site activities did not create any erosion issues. Following our site visit on
January 23, 2012 following a snow melt and rain event, erosion control observations were taken over by
Mr. Jim Arnold. No significant earthwork activities took place in the balance of the wet season.
7. final Erosion Control
Final erosion control will be complete with the final re -vegetation plans. We have observed that the areas
cleared in the past work on-site prior to 2011 have beers successfully re -vegetated. We have observed that
the area disturbed for construction in 2011/2012 have had plants placed to reestablish erosion control.
These plants will need to be maintained through the summer drought using hand irrigation. We do not
recommend the installation of a dedicated irrigation system. We understand that you will place a
permeable weed harrier fabric over the exposed soils to reduce the potential for erosion while the new
ground cover is being established.
8. Site Retaining Wall/Rockery Construction
No rockeries were constructed as part of this permit. We observed that the site retaining walls were
placed as planned. Due to a conflict between the architectural plans and the structural plans, the
contractor deleted the footing for the catchment wall that wrapped around the south east margin of the
house. The structural engineer approved the variance from the plans in his rnerno dated May 31, 2012.
9. Excavations/Grading/Site Preparation
We made periodic site visits during each step of the project excavation and grading. The soils exposed in
the excavation were consistent with the soils anticipated Born our explorations and experience on the site.
We observed the grading and site preparation was consistent with our recommendations for the project
and the approved plans.
10. Final Letter
This letter provides our fatal summary of the construction observations. All discussion in our prior
reports remains applicable to this project.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on our observations during construction, it is our opinion that the geotechnical aspects of the project have
been completed in accordance with the recommendations contained in our referenced geotechnical report, the
construction drawings, and specifications as approved by the City of Edmonds. The only variation was the south
end of the catchment wall as discussed Section 8 of this letter. We have attached the field memos that continent
our site observations.
All discussions and recommendations in our referenced letters and report remain applicable to this site.
We trust the information presented is sufficient for your current needs. If you have any questions or require
additional information, please call.

Gaiter met with the above on site at 9 am. The mass excavation for the house is >
proceeding. The sub grade is being left one to two feet above final grade. .
Excavated soils are being removed from tc'ne site. The Soils consist primarily of
silts with some pockets of silty sands. 7'hete is some wood debrj,5 within the
native soils. Cuts of up to G feet have.been made, no seepage was present.
Temporary cuts appear to tie stable up to four feet in height for the vertical
segment. Vie discussed the need t0 make cuts that will be MSAA compliant. At the
southeast corner of the hou$e it may be needed to use Ecology.blocks to support the
temporary cuc. E blocks should be no higher than two high. The blocks can he
dedicated to the backfill.
The seepage collections system on the hill above the house is controlling most of
the seepage. Some light surface flows persist above the house. It is OK to re-
establisin the surface swale on the dozer trail immediately above the house. The
surface runoff from the s:•rale needs to be directed away from the house into
suitable discharge areas.
The.TESC fencing along the log::er edge of the site is intact. A quarry spall
entrance has been established. No off site flow of water was observed. TF -SC
appears suitable for the existing conditions.
The foundation forming is planned to start on ',lednesday Aug 27'''. The soils appear
to be suitable for keyway construction. The foundation crew will need to exercise
care to preserve the keyway during steel placement. Pork should proceed in a
timely basis.

Writer nut with Brett on site at about noon. The mass excavation for the house is proceeding. 1 had postponed a routine
weekly meeting with Jim Arnold at 10 am for this date and we rescheduled it for the 28" at 10 AM.
Brett called at about I I and reported that he had encountered seepage in the stair area excavation. I visited the
site to observe the seepage. I recommended that the seepage be controlled with a sump and a pump to see if it is
just a pocket of water. I also reviewed the exposed cut at the east side of the garage. It appears that there is
sufficient room to cut it back to at least a 1:1, a sin;le high eblock wall can be placed at the toe of the cut to
reduce the horizontal extent of the open cut. The eblocks can be left in place in the backfill if they do not
interfere with keyways or other construction elements.
Brett and I discussed the use of native soils for backfill. The sandy site soils would be suitable for use as wall
backfill as long as the walls have been provided with drainage panels such as mira drains.
TESC measures appear to be suitable. No off site sediment or water flow observed.

Writer met with Brett and Jim on site to review project progress and discuss seepage at 10 am on site Jim proposed the use
of a lateral trench to drain water from, the excavation in lieu of the sump, 1 recounmended the use of the sump to see if it was
a pocket of %eater that once removed would not re occur durin" the construction period. If a trench is used, I recommended
that the trench be backfilled with crushed rock such as the stockpile of pea gravel sized crushed rock that Brett had imported
and stockpiled at the driveway area. No pipe would be needed in the trench. The trench should be as deep as possible to
capture water from keyways. The same crushed rock could be placed at the base of ke)r%vays. no pipes should be placed in the
kcyways. This crushed rock could also be used to provide a working surface on the bearing surfaces of footings if needed.
The stability of the sidewalls of the key%vat's are the important clement. Observation of the seepage conditions Nvill need to
continue to evaluate options for keyway construction in the lower areas of the lower floor where seepage has been observed.
Spoils from the excavation continue to be exported. A stockpile of soils is present for use in backfill.
TESL measures appear to be suitable. No off site sediment or water flow observed.

area that will be used for storage. Suitable bearing conditions were observed. Jim will have rebar stubbed out to the grade
beams that support the deck area. The deck foundations are covered by a stockpile of soils at this time. The walls at the east
side of the garage are having steel placed.
Backfill for the east walls of the garage and storage area should be placed as soon as allowed by the structural
engineer. The backfill will need to be placed in lifts and compacted as described in our report to provide support
for the eastern perimeter tootings.
A sample of the stockpile south of the house was obtained for a sieve analysis to evaluate compatibility of the
soils with the proposed Delta drainage board.
The footing memo for toda} is attached. The footing is scheduled to be placed ort Friday Sept 9.
TESL measures appear to be suitable. No off site sediment or water now observed. The weather conditions will
change later this month. The stockpiles ma), need cover and the silt fence will need maintenance.

been placed and the perforated footing drain had been placed along the uphill side of the perimeter wall footing, A separate
tight line was placed along the north outside perimeter of the foundation for the downspout tight lines. Brett reported that the
pipes would be marked to prevent the hookup of downspouts and surface drains to the perforated pipe. Brett also reported
that during washed rock placement, that the pipe would be checked for grade and alignment. The washed rock should
overlap the drainage board by at least G inches.
Drain placement appears to be suitable. All pipe is rigid pipe as recommended in the ceotech report. OK to place rock and
fabric and backfill. Terra will return to do compaction tests on backfill during placement. The onsite stockpile of soil from
the mass excavation mecis'the specifications for the Dcha Board backfill. We understand that a jumping jack will be used.
Following completion of backfill, the upper key way will be excavated and foundation forming will begin for eastern wall
of house. Backfill and compaction is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
TESC measures appear to be suitable. No off site sediment or water flow observed.

As requested a Terra Associates, Inc. representative was onsite to observe earthwork activities from
10:45am to 1 1:15am. While onsite the following was observed:
• The contractor was placing fill along the east side of the basement wall. The contractor had
placed approx. 3' of fill prior to arrival. The fill. was observed to over optimum moisture content
and is pumping under foot. Density tests obtained on the backfill showed compaction of less
than the required 95%.
• Chuck Lie of Terra Associates was informed of the till conditions and is working with (lie

Terra representative arrived on site as requested to perform in-place density tests on recently placed
foundation backfill. While on site we observed the following:
Approximately 3' of on-site sand with silt had been placed and compacted along the east side
of the eastern footing wall. We previously documented fill in this area to be over optimum
moisture conditions. The previous fill had been removed, amended with Portland cement, and
then subsequently placed and compacted. The new fill appeared dense and unyielding (1/2"
hand probe penetrations of less than '/2" under the full weight of observer. Density tests
performed on the fill were at or above 95% of lab maximum dry density according to ASTM
—D-698.
A four—inch perforated PVC pipe bedded in clean one -inch rock and wrapped in filter fabric
was in place at the base of the footing wall along the north and east sides of the building.
Wall drain panels were in place along the outside of the north and east footing walls.
12-18" of fill near the SE corner of the building probed loose and will require further
compaction.
We will be available for further observation and testing at the request of the contractor.

Terra representative arrived on site as requested to observe the recently constructed footing drain on
the east side of the eastern retaining wall. While on site we observed the following:
• A four inch perforated pvc drain pipe was in place on the east side of the eastern retaining
wall approximately at the top of the footing base. The pipe had been wrapped in filter fabric.
A minor amount of mud and water had accumulated underneath the pipe. Jini indicated that
washed rock would be placed tinder the pipe prior to covering it.
• A representative of Terra Inc. will return to the site in the afternoon to observe that the pipe is
bedded in washed rock and verify that the crushed rock backfill is being compacted in lifts as
it is being placed.

excavated and has been both sloped back and provided with temporary shoring consisting of wood panels. The
excavation is being pumped with a sunup pump. The wood panels do not provide safe working space for crew but
will help maintain the shape of the keyway. The sn'uctural engineer advised Brian and .Tim that extra concrete can
be placed in the keyway area to fill caved areas. Provided no further caving occurs, the nottihern half can be filled
as is once the steel gets placed. The southern half of the key had not been excavated yet. Brian reported that the
concrete crew would be on site at 9 am to set steel and pour concrete.

Writer was on site at 845 to observe excavation progress. The northern half of the keyway has been excavated
and has been both sloped back and provided with temporary shoring consisting of wood panels. The excavation is
being pumped with a sump pump. The southern key was being excavated and was starting to cave, I advised the
excavator to speak with .lith before proceed to far with the keyway with no concrete crew on site. i spoke with
Jim as t left the site he reported that the concrete was scheduled for about I pm..
Writer returned at 1200. Arn and Brian were on site. The concrete crew was arriving as i was on site. The
southern half of the key way was being excavated while i was on site. Some light caving occurred and was
removed while I was present. The soils exposed between the key way and the compacted crushed rock backfill
for the house appear suitable for tite support of the patio/footing as planned. Jim asked dif lie could do two pours
on the patio slab thickness, the possible cold join in the patio would need to be discussed with the structural
engineer.
Brian and 1 walked up the slope. There is a tree that has fallen on the slope from tree cutting. I advised Brian to
remove the tree and keep the slope accessible and visible for observations throughout the time he lives in his
house. We discussed the need for the surface swale along the back of the catclunent wall. This is on the plans
and will need to be maintained over time. The catchment wall heights as placated appear to be OK. There will be
a need to do sorne trimming of the slope immediately above the catchment wall to establish grade and the surface
Swale. Jim will shoot the area prior to forming the wall.
Working safety is important. Final temporary slopes will need to be trimmed to provide a safe work area for the
wall crew.
OK to place concrete in the keyway. Jim is planning on pulling the temporary wood shoring as the concrete is
being placed. If heavy caving occurs prior to placement of concrete, caved soils are to be removed from the
keyway area and keyway backfill area. Concrete is scheduled for today.

Jim Arnold and concrete crew
Writer was on site at 845 to observe excavation progress. The northern half of the keyway has been excavated
and has been both sloped back and provided with temporary shoring consisting of wood panels. The excavation is
being pumped with a sump pump. The southern key was being excavated and was starting to cave, I advised the
excavator to speak with .lith before proceed to far with the keyway with no concrete crew on site. i spoke with
Jim as t left the site he reported that the concrete was scheduled for about I pm..
Writer returned at 1200. Arn and Brian were on site. The concrete crew was arriving as i was on site. The
southern half of the key way was being excavated while i was on site. Some light caving occurred and was
removed while I was present. The soils exposed between the key way and the compacted crushed rock backfill
for the house appear suitable for tite support of the patio/footing as planned. Jim asked dif lie could do two pours
on the patio slab thickness, the possible cold join in the patio would need to be discussed with the structural
engineer.
Brian and 1 walked up the slope. There is a tree that has fallen on the slope from tree cutting. I advised Brian to
remove the tree and keep the slope accessible and visible for observations throughout the time he lives in his
house. We discussed the need for the surface swale along the back of the catclunent wall. This is on the plans

Terra representative was on site at 9 ant AM to,observe project progress.
1. Provide upper tenninations for the drainage board that is exposed on the uphill side of the catchment wall
and along the north foundation wall of the house. This call be done by cutting the drainage board close to or
slightly below grade and placing a piece of flashing over the top of the drainage board. The flashing can be nailed
to the concrete and glued with construction glue to the outside of the drainage board. This is to keep rocks and
dirt from getting behind the drainage material.
2. Verify that there is 3 vertical feet of clear wall on the uphill side of the catchment wall. The drainage
from the seepage above the wall should be directed into the yard drains through surface swales. It is ok for the
drainage to infiltrate for the time being but for the long term it needs to go to the yard drains.
3. 1 would like to verify that the downspouts are connected to the tight line.. This can be done by lowering a
sewer camera down the do%%iispouts to verify that the pipe is not perforated. It would be a good idea to camera all
of the pipes now as well.
4. 1 need to talk %vith Brian about final landscaping. One of our tasks is the final erosion control review, that
usually occurs after the landscaping is put in.
5. 1 will need the mento from Wendell that modifies the foundation plan for the catchment wall.

of the pipes now as well.
4. 1 need to talk %vith Brian about final landscaping. One of our tasks is the final erosion control review, that
usually occurs after the landscaping is put in.
5. 1 will need the mento from Wendell that modifies the foundation plan for the catchment wall.

Terra representative was on-site to observe TV of roof drain lines and erosion control measures.
While on-site we observed the following:
• We observed the inside of each roof drain downspout with a TV/camera. All of the
downspouts were tied.into tight line pipe directed to the storm drain system. The tight line
pipe was partially crushed on near the entrance on the west side of the house. The plumber
located the crushed section and indicated it was approximately two feet below current grade.
Jun Arnold indicated the pipe would be fixed in the next day or two.
We walked the site with Mr. Issacson to observe final erosion control measures still needing
to be addressed. Permanent ground cover needs to be put in place on the north. south, and
west sides of the residence. These areas were staked for ornamental landscaping at the time of
our visit. Mr. Issacson indicated that the landscaping was scheduled to take place tofnorrow
and topsoil and/or mulch was to be placed over any remaining exposed native soils. We
recommended sloping topsoil away from the residence and any hardscaped areas (eg.
sidewalks). We recommended rerouting water flowing from the tight line pvc pipe on the
slope east of the house. The pipe can either be tight lined to the existing storm structure off
the NE corner of the house upon approval of the city, or shortened to flow into the existing
swale routing water to the south end of the site.
• Growth on the slope covering the.majority of the east side of the property. is well established.
The two lower tub basins were partially to mostly full of sediment. The sediment was
removed from the basins during our visit, The basins should be maintained on a weekly basis.
The upper tub basins were free of sediment.

Writer met with Gordon and Jim on site to review site progress. At the time of the niceting, the key -way for the wall at the
cast side of the garage was being excavated. Heavy seepage was present. The soils exposed in the excavation will provide
adequate bearing for the proposed footings. The keyways need to be protected. The upper keyway north of the garage has no
caving of the side walls or seepage. The dewatering sump placed earlier is dry. The water in the garage arca keyway is a
pocket of water associated with a'buried stump immediately south of the south end of the keyway. The stump remains green
and is not decomposed. The stump is not exposed at footing grade.
A clean sand has been imported from Cadman for use as cap break material. The cap break material must be protected during
forming to maintain its drainage characteristics. The sieve provided by Cadman is anached to this mento.
Forming is planned to start on Friday.
A stockpile of soils is present for use in backfill. 'file materials may be used for backfill provided drainage is provided with
drainage panels against the walls. Terra to review the use of the material within the building footprint.
TESC measures appear to be suitable. No of'f site sediment or water flow observed.

Regarding: Isaacson Residence
16007 73rd Place West
To Whom It May Concern:
On Tuesday, August 2, 2011, I staked the foundation forms for the proposed residence at
the address indicated above. The foundation forms, as staked, meet the dimensions
from the property lines as indicated on the approved site plan. Additionally, on Tuesday,
February 14, 2012, we measured the elevation of the highest roof ridge and determined it
to be 171.14.
