Subject: Inspection of slope at the Residence Located at 1036 Bell Street, Edmonds,
Washington
Dear Ms. Bradford:
At your request a representative from Pacific Testing Laboratories was at the above mentioned
site to inspect the slope at the back of the residence ,with regards to stability.
The lot is located on the south side of Bell Street with a relatively -level front yard. However,
the home appears to be benched into a slope as the backyard slopes to the south at a grade of
approximately 40%.
Beginning at the south foundation wall of the home there is a small bench that extends
approximately 8 feet. At this point there is a small 2 to 3 foot rockery, then the remaining
southern portion of the lot slopes at 40% to the adjacent property before the topography levels
out some 200 feet away to the south.
The slope is heavily vegetated with blackberry bushes and small vine maple. There is an 18 inch
fir tree on the adjacent lot to the east that has a slight curve to the trunk, however it appears the
movement has taken place some time ago. No excess seepage was noted on the slope, that would
indicate any instability.
Soils in the area are sands with cobbles and a trace of silt. The type of soil found on the site
would appear to be a well drained therefore, reducing the risk of overloading the slope with
excess moisture.

It was noted that the downspouts at each southern corner of the house need repair. At this time
they are draining on the ground at the corner of the foundation. These shall be repaired, and
preferably tightlined to the base of the slope, as to not cause any instability to the area. The
downspout at the southwest corner should also be directed away from the fill slope on the
adjacent property.
Based upon the visual inspection of the slope and soil classification from a shallow test pit on
the slope, we feel that there is no apparent indications of instability on the southern facing slope
at the subject lot. The home has been there for nearly 30 years and no signs of movement are
present at this time.

INTRODUCTION
Earth Science
We understand that the existing wood deck abutting the back (south side) of your house,
located at the above address in Edmonds, Washington, has shown signs of decay .and
needs to be replaced and reconstructed. We also understand that the new deck will be at
the same location and maintain the same configuration and size of the one to be replaced.
Because the subject residence site is mapped in steep slope area or buffer zone, City of
Edmonds is concerned about potential impact from construction of the new deck on
stability of the slope and adjacent properties. At your request, we have completed a
geotechnical evaluation in this regard. Presented in this .report are our findings and
conclusion.

REFERENCE REPORT
A previous geotechnical investigation had been performed by Pacific Test Laboratories
on the subject residence site, with their findings and conclusion presented in their
04/27/1993 report titled "Inspection of Slope at the Residence Located at 1036 Bell
Street, Edmonds, 'Washington," (referred hereinafter as the PTL report) a copy of which
was provided to us for our use in this evaluation.
SITE CONDITIONS
Sur[ace Condition
The general location of the subject residence is shown on Plate 1— Vicinity Map, attached
hereto. It is situated on the upper slope of a moderate to steep, southwesterly -declining
hillside which is the north valley wall of the nearby Shell Creek. 1"he residence is
bounded by Bell Stmt to the north, adjoined by single-family residences to the east and
west, and backs to the south into a moderate to steep, wooded slope which extends to the
neighboring properties. The terrain within the residence site initially slopes down very
gently southerly to the front of the house, then moderately to steeply to the back of the
house. A narrow, level bench area extends from the back of the house to about 10 to 12
feet past it, with the downhill edge of this bench lined by a rockery wall about 2 feet tall.
The ground then slopes down gently southerly from the rockery to a fence before
dropping steeply onto the neighboring properties_ The backyard behind the house is
covered with lawn grass and the slope beyond is dotted with medium dense, mature,
evergreen trees with occasional deciduous trees mixed in between and covered by
underbrush. Iliese trees are straight with no discernable downhill lean or bent in the

trunks. This indicates that the slope has been stable for at least the past several tens of
years.
Geologic Setting and Soil Condition
The Geologic Map of the Edmonds East and Part of the Edmonds West Quadrangles,
Washing by James P. Min.ard, published by U. S. Geological Survey in 1983, was
referenced for the geologic and soil conditions at the residence site. According to this
publication, the surficial soil unit at and in the vicinity of the subject lot is mapped as an
Advance Qutwash (Qva) soil unit.
The advance outwash soil unit is composed of stratified sand and gravel with very minor
amount of silt and clay, deposited by the meltwater of advancing glacial ice of the last
glacier. The "sands with cobbles and a trace of silt" encountered in a shallow test pit
excavated on the subject residence site as described in the PTL report appears to confirm
this soil unit. Due to their generally granular composition; the advance outwash deposits
are of moderately high permeability and drains .fairly well. The advance outwash deposits
had been glacially overridden and are generally dense to very dense in their natural,
undisturbed state, except the top 2 to 3 feet of soils exposed on steep slopes which are
normally weathered to a loose to medium -dense state. The advance outwash deposits can
stand in natural slopes or steep cuts for extended period when undisturbed. Where
exposed on slopes with poor vegetation cover and subjected to storm runoff or
groundwater seepage, the advance outwash deposits can be gradually eroded and may
slough and redeposit to a flatter inclination. 7rhe underlying fresh advance outwash

deposits in their native, undisturbed state are quite stable and can provide good
foundation support with little settlement expected for light to moderately heavy structures.
Groundwater Condition
The advance outwash soil unit mantling the subject residence site and the steep slope
below it is composed of fine to medium sand with various amount of gravel and
occasional cobble. This soil unit is of high permeability and would allow stormwater to
seep through easily. Stormwat+er infiltrating into the surficial advance outwash soil unit
would be perched on practically impervious fine sandy to clayey silt deposits of a
Transitional Beds soil unit underlying the advance outwash soil unit. According to the
above -referenced geologic snap, the transitional beds soil unit should be tens of feet
below the ground surface within the subject residence site.
WOODDECK
The existing wood deck (see Photo 1 attached hereto) off the back. of the house, about 6
feet by 32 feet in plan dimensions, is at the main floor level, elevated at some 15 feet
above the ground. The north side of this deck is attached to the back of the house and its
South side supported on three timber posts. This deck has a open floor without an
impervious membrane cover. The deck has shown signs of decay and will be demolished
and reconstructed. The new deck, to be constructed with treated wood, will be at the
same location and of the same configuration and dimension as the old deck, except that
two more timber posts will be added (to make a total of 5 posts) under its south side. Just

GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
Landslide Hazard
According to the above -referenced geologic Wrap, the residence site and the steep slope
below it is underlain at shallow depth by dense advance outwash soil of high shear
strength. Therefore, deep-seated landslides are unlikely to occur on the residence site or
the slope below it.
Erosion Hazard
The slope below the residence site is most likely draped by a layer of topsoil and loose to
medium -dense weathered soil up to about 2 to 3 feet thick. This surticial layer of weak
soils is of low resistance against erosion and there is a remote chance that it may be
gradually eroded if stripped of vegetation cover. Progressive erosion may result in
shallow skin -type mudflows during prolonged heavy rainstorms. This hazard can be
minimized by maintaining the vegetation on the slope and prohibiting discharge of
concentrated stormwater onto the slope.
erosion may also occur from groundwater seepage out of the slope at the contact of the
advance outwash soil unit and the underlying transitional beds soil unit_ The soil within
and above this seepage zone can be eroded and when erosion gets to the point the soil
mass within and above the seepage zone can no longer sustain its weight slough or slide
may occur. The above -referenced geologic map shows that the contact of the two soil

August 24, 2411
Mrs. Ann Bradford

Page 6
units is at quite a distance from the subject residence site and the slope below it.
Therefore, the seepage erosion hazard should also be minimal within the subject
residence site or the slope below it.
Seismic Hazard
The Puget Sound region is in an active seismic zone. The residence site and the slope
below it are underlain at shallow depth by dense advance outwash deposits of high shear
strength. Therefore, the potential for seismic hazards, such as landslides, liquefaction,
lateral soil spreading, to occur on the site and the slope below it provided that necessary
erosion mitigation measures are fully implemented and observed.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above, the slope below the subject residence site should be stable if the
proposed new deck does not cause significant disturbance, impose heavy load or
discharge concentrated stormwater onto the slope. The proposed new deck will be
constructed to replace an existing deck which is already there. The new deck, which is a
very light structure, will maintain the same location and dimensions of the existing deck.
Except the addition of two timber posts along its south side, the loading of the new deck
will be same as that of the old. Like the existing deck, the new deck will have an open
floor with no impervious membrane cover. Therefore, there will be no concentrated
stormwater to be discharged from the new deck onto the slope below. The foundation
support to the new deck will require excavation of five small footing pits which would
cause little or no disturbance to the slope. It is, therefore, our conclusion that

construction of the proposed new deck will not incrcasc stormwater discharge or
transportation of sediment onto adjacent properties., will not decrease stability of the slope
or adjacent properties, and will not adversely impact other critical areas.
