Dear Mr. Gray:
May 9, 2014
JN 14062
via email sc3gray@yahoo.com
This letter presents our geotechnical observations and conclusions regarding the landslide and
erosion hazards on the property in relation to the modular walls that were constructed on the east
side of the lot in 2009. In order to prepare this letter, we have visited the site on two separate
occasions. This has allowed us to observe the existing conditions in the areas of both the eastern
modular walls and the critical areas.
A short rockery existed through the central portion of the eastern property line prior to the 2009
construction of the modular walls. It is obvious that this rockery is older than the modular walls,
and was likely constructed at least as long ago as the residence itself. This rockery appears to
retain some fill. To the south of the rockery, two short modular walls were built in 2009 to create
more level space alongside the driveway. These walls have an exposed height of approximately 3
feet each, and they are set back 3 to 4 feet from each other. We understand that the modular
walls were constructed in front of an old short rockery that was pre-existing at this location.
At the time of our first visit in February 2014, there were pavers located behind the old rockery in
the central portion of the eastern property line. This allowed the potential for vehicles to be parked
close to, and create a surcharge on, the rockery. At the time of our May 7, 2014 visit, we observed
that the pavers had been removed, and the area within at least 8 feet of the backside of the rockery
had been covered with landscape bark. Also, a short fence had been erected along the driveway.
These measures will prevent the area behind the old rockery from being used as parking. There is
a hedge alongside the driveway through the area of the modular walls, preventing vehicles from
driving off the driveway -to park on the area behind the modular walls. Based on our observations,
neither the pre-existing rockery nor the modular block walls can be subjected to surcharges from
vehicles getting close to them.
The eastern portion of the property that is occupied by the residence, yard, driveway, and eastern
walls slopes gently toward the northeast. On the western portion of the lot there is a tall, very steep
bluff extending down to the BNSF railroad tracks that were installed alongside the Puget Sound.
This bluff continues to the north and south for quite a distance. Due to the Inclination of the bluff it
would definitely meet the City of Edmond's criteria for both a landslide and erosion hazard area.
This bluff is prone to periodic landslides that are most often naturally occurring "skin" slides that

affect the near -surface few feet of soil that loosens over time due to weathering. These slides
typically occur during periods of heavy rainfall, and result in mudflows that can, at times, reach the
BNSF tracks. The risk of this type of slope movement exists for all of the nearby lots.
The eastern modular walls are located on the opposite side of the residence from the steep bluff.
They are over 100 feet from the crest of the bluff. Work associated with the walls did not disturb
the bluff itself, or the area within at least 100 feet of the bluff. Considering the extensive distance
from the bluff, and the very limited fill that was placed behind the modular walls, they in no way
decreased the stability of the bluff. Additionally, because the bluff and the area behind it were not
disturbed by the construction of the walls, they have not increased the potential for soil erosion on
the bluff. In our professional opinion, the minimum 100-foot buffer maintained between the modular
walls and the steep bluff was sufficient to prevent adverse impacts to the critical area on the site or
the surrounding lots.
The walls have not increased the amount of surface water or sediment being discharged to
surrounding lots. In fact, the placement of vegetation and gravel on the ground behind the modular
walls has decreased the potential for erosion and sediment transport for any surface runoff that
would naturally travel toward the northeast with the slope of the ground.
Please contact us if you have any questions, or if we can be of further service.
