Edmonds, Washington 98020
Dear Mrs. Crabtree:
At your request, HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) has undertaken and completed a geotechnical
investigation within your existing residential lot, for your proposed single family development in
Edmonds, Washington. This investigation has been performed in support of the application
required to obtain a building permit from the City of Edmonds.
Previously, HWA GeoSciences conducted a site assessment for a grading permit for the previous
owner of the site in 2010, during which hand probing was undertaken to delineate depth of loose
surface fill soils. The surficial probing was not intended to be used for developing foundation
recommendations for either a house or walls, and additional explorations were recommended to
provide design parameters consistent with the level of geotechnical design input needed at this
time.
For this investigation, HWA performed a review of the pertinent geologic maps, conducted a site
reconnaissance to observe local topographic features, and performed 3 machine -drilled borings
to assess subsurface conditions within the footprint of the proposed residential structure.
PROJECT LOCATION
The subject property consists of an undeveloped 0.22 -acre parcel approximately 120 feet long
(west to east) and 80 feet wide (north to south), located within the SE 1/4, Section 13, Township
27 N, and Range 3 E. The municipal address is 19205 Olympic View Drive, in Edmonds,
Washington (Snohomish County Parcel No. 00434600008301). The approximate location is
shown on Figure 1, the Project Site & Vicinity Map, 21312 30th Drive Sr,
Suite 110
Bothell, WA 98021.7010

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
As currently proposed, the new, single family residence will consist of a one story to three story
structure situated 15 feet south, 15 feet north and 33 feet west of the northern, southern and
eastern property lines, respectively (Site Plan, Albert H. Cohen Design Company (AHC), 2017).
The house will be set into the hill with the eastern 21 feet of the house consisting of one story
with a footing elevation of approximately Elev. 161 feet. The remainder of the house will be
three stories with a footing elevation of Elev. 151 feet. The house will be accessed by an
approximately 14 -ft wide driveway cut into the existing slope situated within the 25 -ft setback
along the west side of the lot, as shown on Figure 2, the Site & Exploration Plan. Based on the
measurements depicted on the drawings, the structure will occupy roughly ± 2,300 square feet on
the main level.
SITE OBSERVATIONS
Currently, the site is undeveloped and grass covered. The site generally slopes downward from
east to west toward Olympic View Drive. Within the eastern third, the ground slopes upward at
grades that vary from 15 to 35 percent. The central portion of the lot is relatively level and the
western 30 feet slopes down to Olympic View Drive with grades ranging from 35 to 60 percent.
Based on the topography it appears the upper (eastern) end of the site has been built up or graded
with on-site cut materials; the center part of the site has been leveled; and the lower (western)
end of the site above Olympic View Drive has been filled.
GEOLOGY
The Puget Lowland has repeatedly been occupied by a portion of the continental glaciers that
developed during the ice ages of the Quaternary period. During at least four periods, portions of
the ice sheet advanced south from British Columbia into the lowlands of western Washington.
The southern extent of these glacial advances was near Olympia, Washington. Each major
advance included numerous local advances and retreats, and each advance and retreat resulted in
its own sequence of erosion and deposition of glacial lacustrine, outwash and drift deposits.
Between and following these glacial advances, sediments from the Olympic and Cascade
Mountains accumulated in the Puget Lowland. As the most recent glacier retreated, it uncovered
a sculpted landscape of elongated, north -south trending hills and valleys between the Cascade
and Olympic mountain ranges. This topography is composed of a complex sequence of glacial
and interglacial deposits. Post -glacial deposits within the Puget Lowland include alluvium,
lacustrine deposits, volcanic mudflow deposits, and landslide deposits.
According to the DRAFT Composite Geologic Map of the Sno-King Area by Booth, Cox, Troost
and Shimel, dated January 4, 2004, the project site is mapped as being underlain by Advance
Outwash deposits.
Advance outwash deposits consist primarily of gray, clean to slightly silty, fine to medium sand,
with varying percentages of gravel. They were deposited in pro -glacial streams as the Vashon
Crabtree Residence — Revised Report 2 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
February 22, 2017
HWA Project No. 2016-042-21
Stade ice advanced southward in Puget Sound. In general, the sediments are coarser at higher
levels of the unit, as the streams deposited larger materials closer to the ice. Because these
granular soils were overridden by the Vashon Stade ice, they are dense to very dense. They are
quite permeable; however, they are not always water -bearing. Advance outwash is generally
competent for support of structures, and excavates relatively easy with conventional excavating
equipment. Although sideslopes in this sand stand near -vertical temporarily when dry, shoring is
necessary for long-term support. Saturated advance outwash will cave profusely along trench
sidewalls. At the lower portions of the unit, where the sands tend to fine, this deposit can be
"quick" when it is wet. Beneath the advance outwash sands, fine-grained glaciolacustrine clays
and silts are common in the lower part of the section, and can be associated with slope instability
where they become saturated and weakened by infiltrating water. Hence, proper drainage of
such soils is imperative.
SOILS
According to the Soil Conservation Map for Snohomish County (MRCS, online web soil survey,
2007), the site is overlain by Alderwood — Urban Land complex. The Alderwood — Urban Land
complex soils formed on glacial till plains and contain at least 25% of Urban Land consisting of
streets, buildings, parking lots and other structures that obscure or alter the soils so that
identification is not possible. Although the site is mapped as Alderwood series, our explorations
indicate that the site is underlain by weathered advance outwash (Everett series) soils. Both of
these soil types have a moderate to severe potential for erosion; however, the site is vegetated so
the existing erosion hazard is low.
SITE EXPLORATIONS
On March 29th, 2016, a geologist from HWA conducted an exploration program to evaluate
subsurface conditions at the site. The explorations consisted of three, machine -drilled borings
extending to depths ranging from 11.5 to 21.5 feet. The borings (BH -1 through BH -3) were
drilled by CN Drilling, Inc. of Seattle, Washington, under subcontract to HWA. A portable drill
rig, equipped with hollow -stem augers, was used to drill the borings. Site soil conditions were
noted at each of the boring locations. The approximate locations of our borings are shown on
Figure 2, the Site & Exploration Plan.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling was performed in the boreholes using a 2 -inch outside
diameter split -spoon sampler, which was advanced with a 140 -pound hammer using a rope and
cathead. During the SPT, samples were obtained by driving the sampler 18 inches into the soil
with the hammer free -falling 30 inches. The number of blows required for each 6 inches of
penetration was recorded. The Standard Penetration Resistance ("N -value") of the soil was
calculated as the number of blows required for the final 12 inches of penetration. This
resistance, or N -value, provides an indication of relative density of granular soils and the relative
consistency of cohesive soils; both indicators of soil strength and foundation bearing capacity.

HWA Project No. 2016-042-21
A geologist from HWA logged each exploration and recorded all pertinent information. Soil
samples obtained from the explorations were classified in the field and representative portions
were placed in plastic bags. These soil samples were then taken to our Bothell, Washington
laboratory for further examination and testing. Pertinent information including soil sample
depths, stratigraphy, soil engineering characteristics, and ground water occurrence was recorded.
The stratigraphic contacts shown on the individual exploration logs represent the approximate
boundaries between soil types; actual transitions may be more gradual. The soil and ground
water conditions depicted are only for the specific date and locations reported, and are not
necessarily representative of other locations and times.
Boring logs were prepared and are presented on Figures 6 through 8. A legend of the terms and
symbols used on the exploration logs is presented in Figure 5.
SOIL PROFILE
Typically, the near surface soils observed in the borings consisted of loose to medium dense fill
overlying weathered and unweathered glacial soils. A generalized geologic cross-section that
was constructed to depict subsurface conditions is shown on Figure 3. The soil conditions are
described briefly as follows:
Topsoil — Topsoil consisting of soft, dark brown, sandy silt, containing abundant rootlets and
organic material, was encountered at the surface at each the borings. The topsoil layer
encountered was 2.5 feet in thickness in each of our explorations.
Undocumented Fill — Below the topsoil layer in all borings except BH -2, undocumented fill was
encountered, consisting of loose, yellow to olive brown, silty sand with gravel. This soil unit
was fully penetrated in BH -1 and BH -3 where it was 6.5 and 5 feet thick, respectively. The fill
encountered in BH -3 contained land clearing debris such as wood fragments and charcoal pieces.
We expect the fill was placed to level the yard of the lot to the east and to create a transitional
slope down to Olympic View Drive.
Weathered Advance Outwash — Weathered advance outwash, consisting of medium dense, olive
brown to gray, slightly silty to silty sand with gravel was encountered below the fill at an
approximate depth of 9 feet in BH -1; beneath topsoil at 2.5 feet in BH -2; and, beneath fill at
7.5 feet in BH -3. The thickness of this unit ranged from 2.5 to 7.5 feet thick.
Advance Outwash — At each of the locations explored, the soils encountered immediately
beneath the weathered advance outwash layer consisted of advance outwash deposits comprised
of dense to very dense, olive to gray brown, medium to fine silty sand with varying amounts of
fine to coarse gravel, and often containing beds of relatively clean, fine to medium sand. This
soil unit appeared to be at least 5 feet thick where fully penetrated in BH -1. Borings BH -2 and
BH -3 were terminated in this deposit.
Glaciolacustrine — Beneath the advance outwash sands in BH -1, hard, dark gray, laminated to
massive silt was encountered. Due to their fine-grained nature and laminated structure, these
Crabtree Residence — Revised Report 4 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
February 22, 2017
HWA Project No. 2016-042-21
soils are interpreted to have been deposited in a glacial lake setting. These soils were not fully
penetrated, but may be tens of feet thick locally (Booth, et al, 2004).
GROUND WATER
Ground water seepage was observed in all three borings at depths ranging from 5 to 8 feet below
the existing ground surface. Seepage was typically confined to the loose to medium dense,
sandy soil layers overlying dense silty sand. During periods of wet weather, it is likely that
ground water will also become perched within the dense silty sands overlying the low
permeability deposits identified in BH -1. These observations were made during drilling and
static water levels are often higher than the depth at which ground water is observed during
drilling.
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
In accordance with the criteria contained in the City of Edmonds Community Development Code
(ECDC), Title 23 -Natural Resources; Chapter 23.80 — Geologically Hazardous Areas, the
subject site contains areas that are considered potential erosion and landslide hazard areas. The
site does not contain areas that can be considered potential seismic hazards areas.
Erosion Hazard Areas
Based on the criteria contained in ECDC Section 23.80.020.A.1, local slope conditions exist
along the western and eastern margins of the site that classify as potential erosion hazard areas
due to the presence of Everett series soils on slopes of 15 percent or greater. We reviewed the
erosion hazard areas mapped by the City of Edmonds, provided on Figure 4, and concur that the
areas shown do classify as erosion hazard areas. Although erosion hazard areas exist at the site,
the ground surface is vegetated and no indication of erosion was observed. Based on these
observations we consider the risk of erosion at the site to be low. The largest threat of erosion
will be at the onset of construction. Construction of the proposed improvements will not
increase the erosion hazard provided the steps outlined in this report for work conducted during
wet weather are followed, erosion control BMPs required by the City of Edmonds are
implemented, and revegetation of the site is completed after construction.
Landslide Hazard Area
The western approximately 25 to 30 feet of the site consists of a slope with approximately 10 to
12 feet of vertical relief on 35 to 60 percent slopes. Per the ECDC Section 23.80.020.B.4 this
portion of the site classifies as a landslide hazard area. This hazard area also extends southward
onto the adjoining property as shown on Figure 4. Figure 4 also presents the potential landslide
hazard areas mapped by the City of Edmonds. This data indicates that a small portion of the
slope at the northeast corner of the property is a potential landslide hazard area. After our site
visit and review of the existing contours, we conclude that this area does not classify as a
Crabtree Residence — Revised Report 5 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
February 22, 2017
HWA Project No. 2016-042-21
landslide hazard area because the height of the slope 40 percent or greater is less than 10 feet tall
and does not meet any of the other criteria provided in ECDC Section 23.80.020.13.
During our site investigation, no indications of slope sloughing or deep seated slope instability
were observed. Although, the proposed development of the property will include modifications
to the grade within a landslide hazard area, the modifications will create a gentler slope that does
not meet the slope criteria of a landslide hazard area, thus eliminating the landslide hazard area
on the site (except for the small portion of the slope that will match the existing steep slope on
the adjoining property to the south). Provided construction follows the recommendations in this
report, these modifications will not decrease slope stability or pose an unreasonable threat to
persons or property either on or off site.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
In summary, the soil conditions within the subject site consist of medium dense to dense,
granular, glacial outwash soils, overlain by loose fill and topsoil layers observed to be at least
2.5 to 9 feet thick. The actual depth to medium dense/dense, native soils at other locations
within the development footprint will need to be verified in the field during construction. In our
opinion, the medium dense, native, silty sand (weathered advance outwash) will provide
adequate bearing for the residential foundation system. The topsoil and undocumented fill
materials are not recommended for foundation and floor slab support, and should be excavated
and replaced with structural fill.
During construction, temporary shoring and dewatering will be required to construct the
foundations and basement walls. Dewatering could consist of trench drains installed a few
weeks prior to beginning excavation and may require a staged approach to allow dewatering to
the full depth of the proposed excavations. The basement walls will retain up to 15 feet of soil
and are currently shown on the project plans to be 15 feet from the property lines on the north
and south sides of the house. Given this close proximity, shoring will be required to provide
stable excavations that do not disturb the ground outside the property lines.
Seismic Considerations
Table 1 presents recommended seismic coefficients for use with the General Procedure described
in Section 1613 of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC). The seismic ground motion
procedure contained in 2015 IBC is based upon a Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) with
a 2 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years (i.e., recurrence interval of approximately
2,475 years). The MCE corresponds to an earthquake with a 2% probability of exceedance (PE)
in 50 years (approximately 2,475 year return period). The relevant probabilistic spectral
response parameters were developed using the United States Geological Survey's website.

HWA Project No. 2016-042-21
The IBC accounts for the effects of site-specific subsurface ground conditions on the response of
structures in terms of site classes. Site classes are defined by the average density and stiffness of
the soil profile underlying the site. The Site Class can be correlated to the average standard
penetration resistance (NsPT) in the upper 100 feet of the soil profile. Based on our
characterization of the subsurface conditions, the subject site classifies as IBC Site Class D. The
design peak ground acceleration for use in computing lateral earth pressures was computed to be
0.34 g. Based on the SDs and SDI values, the site is considered as Seismic Design Category D.
Table 1. Design Seismic Coefficients for 2015 IBC Code Based Evaluation
Liquefaction Susceptibility
Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon wherein loose, saturated, granular deposits temporarily lose
strength and behave as a liquid in response to earthquake shaking. In accordance with 2015 IBC
and ASCE 7, we evaluated liquefaction susceptibility using a design peak ground acceleration of
0.52 g. We used the simplified procedure originally developed by Seed and Idriss (1971), and
updated by Idriss and Boulanger (2004) for evaluating whether a soil is expected to liquefy for a
given peak ground acceleration. Based on SPT blow counts from our explorations, the saturated
portions of the loose to medium dense fill and weathered advanced outwash observed in BH -1
from about 6 to 13 below the ground surface will likely liquefy during a design level earthquake
event. Where saturated, the fill and weathered advance outwash materials observed to a depth of
10 feet in BH -3 will also likely liquefy. The materials observed immediately below the
foundation in BH -2 are not likely to liquefy.
Although some of the materials upslope and downslope of the proposed residence could liquefy,
the potential for seismically induced liquefaction instability is not considered to be a major issue
for development of a residential structure on this site. Nevertheless, a possibility exists that
portions of the site outside the building footprint may experience some seismically -induced
settlement or could move laterally a small amount during a moderate to severe seismic event.
Foundations and Floor Slabs
The proposed structure may be supported on footings bearing directly on undisturbed, medium
dense to dense native soils or properly compacted structural fill. The recommended compaction

for development of a residential structure on this site. Nevertheless, a possibility exists that
portions of the site outside the building footprint may experience some seismically -induced
settlement or could move laterally a small amount during a moderate to severe seismic event.
Foundations and Floor Slabs
The proposed structure may be supported on footings bearing directly on undisturbed, medium
dense to dense native soils or properly compacted structural fill. The recommended compaction
Crabtree Residence — Revised Report 7 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
February 22, 2017
HWA Project No. 2016-042-21
level for structural fill placed under footings and grade -supported slabs is 95% of the maximum
dry density, as determined by Modified Proctor testing (ASTM D1557).
Wall or column footings bearing on weathered advance outwash or structural fill placed over
the medium dense to dense advance outwash could be designed for an allowable bearing
capacity of 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf). This value may be increased by 1/3 for
short-term loads such as wind and seismic effects.
Continuous footings should have a minimum width of 16 inches, and coht:nn footings should
have a minitinini width of 24 inches. Minimum footing widths may, therefore, govern
footing design. Footings should bear at least 24 inches below the lowest adjacent exterior
grade to provide for frost protection.
If footings are supported by structural fill, this fill should extend beyond the outer edges of
the footings a minimum distance equal to the fill thickness below the footing, measured at the
level of the excavation base. If adjacent individual footings are located at different
elevations, it is recommended that the horizontal distance between them be at least 1.5 times
the elevation difference between their bases. Where adjoining continuous footings are at
different elevations, the upper footing should be stepped down to the lower footing.
Floor slabs may be supported at grade on structural fill compacted to the requirements indicated
above. If grade -supported slabs are employed, they must be underlain by a capillary break layer
comprised of clean, uniform, open -graded, washed rock or pea gravel, to prevent future slab
dampness which could be detrimental to floor coverings. This capillary break layer should be at
least 6 inches thick and should be in contact with, or provided with suitable drainage outlets to
the perimeter foundation drain system. A plastic vapor barrier should be placed on top of the
capillary break layer to isolate the slab concrete from this layer, and should consist of plastic
sheathing such as Visqueen.
Assuming construction is performed as recommended herein, we estimate that the total and
differential settlements for foundations will be less than 1 -inch and % -inch, respectively.
Foundation Drainage
We recommend that perimeter footing drains consisting of 4 -inch diameter, rigid, perforated
plastic pipe be placed at foundation level on the outside of the footings, and along the up-slope
side of all retaining walls. The inverts of footing drains should be located at least 24 inches
below the top of adjacent floor slabs. The pipe should be sloped to drain to an appropriate
discharge location.
The drain pipe should be bedded and backfilled in with clean washed drain rock, such as Gravel
Backfill for Drains as specified in Section 9-03.12(4) of the 2016 Standard Specifications. The
drain rock should completely surround the drain pipe by at least 6 inches.

Design of Basement and Retaining Walls
The present design for the proposed residential structure consists of the ground floor inset into
the hillside. To accommodate the structure, cuts of about 14 feet deep are presently envisaged.
Consequently, the north, south and east basement walls will serve as retaining walls.
Lateral Earth Pressures
The lateral earth pressures were computed based on the ground surface behind the walls being
flat. Based on our evaluation that temporary excavations will be sloped, the walls of the
structure are assumed to be backfilled with freely -draining granular backfill, consisting of
properly compacted, granular on-site materials or imported structural fill. Properties for the
retained materials were assigned a moist unit weight of 135 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and an
internal friction angle (0) of 32 degrees. For design of basement walls, we assume that the walls
will be non -yielding and should be designed for at -rest pressures, with an equivalent fluid
pressure of 63 pcf. For design of retaining walls that are able to experience yielding, an active
pressure of 42 pcf should be used.
Although basement walls are relatively rigid under static conditions, in our opinion, it is
reasonable to assume that all walls will yield during a seismic event, allowing the use of the
active seismic lateral earth pressure. For the seismic case, an active -plus -seismic equivalent
fluid pressure of 56 pcf should be employed for computation of the lateral soil pressure. This
seismic earth pressure was computed using the Mononobe-Okabe (M -O) method and a
horizontal seismic coefficient of 0.17 g or one-half of the peak ground acceleration (PGA/2).
Subgrade Preparation
Subgrade preparation is important to limit differential settlement and maintain global stability of
pavements, footings, walls and embankments. A geotechnical engineer, or qualified earthwork
technician, should evaluate the subgrade soils before and after compaction to verify that organic -
rich soils are removed and adequate compaction is achieved. Following removal of organic
soils/fill soils, the subgrade surface should be thoroughly compacted with a suitably sized,
vibratory roller compactor or an excavator -mounted vibrating plate compactor (hoepac). Loose
or soft soil should be removed. A geotechnical engineer or inspector should observe and verify
that all organics have been removed and that the subgrade is adequately prepared. Structural fill
should be placed over the properly prepared subgrade, as needed.
As currently proposed, it appears that the western portion of the residential footprint is underlain
by a significant thickness (in excess of 6 feet) of loose, undocumented fill. The fill will have to
be removed and replaced with properly compacted structural fill.
Excavation and Temporary Shoring Requirements
Based on the existing survey provided on the civil plans, provided to us on February 14, 2017,
we conclude that construction of conventional foundations will require excavations of up to
Crabtree Residence — Revised Report 9 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
February 22, 2017
HWA Project No. 2016-042-21
15 feet below the existing ground surface. All excavations greater than 4 feet will require
sloping and/or shoring to protect workers and adjacent properties in accordance with Part N of
WAC (Washington Administrative Code) 296-155. The fill and outwash materials at the site
classify as Type C soil. Unsupported excavations in Type C soils must be inclined no steeper
than 1'/2H:1 V (horizontal to vertical). Flatter slopes maybe required where groundwater
seepage occurs. Excavations conducted steeper than is allowed for by the WAC should be
monitored daily by a licensed geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist.
Along the north and south sides of the property, the basement walls of the house will be
constructed approximately 15 feet from the property lines. Due to this proximity, temporary
shoring will be required along north, and south sides of the excavation so as not to disturb the
ground on the adjacent properties. Temporary shoring could consist of a block wall, such as an
Ecology block wall, constructed in small sections to minimize the amount of unsupported area at
any one time. Alternatively, shoring such as soldier piles and lagging could be used. The
proposed shoring design should be designed and stamped by an engineer and be provided for
review by the geotechnical engineer prior to beginning excavation.
Temporary excavation slopes should be protected from erosion, as necessary, by covering the cut
face with well -anchored plastic sheets. Maintenance of safe working conditions, including
temporary excavation stability, is the responsibility of the contractor. Based on the soil
conditions observed in our explorations, we anticipate that the on-site soils can be excavated
with conventional equipment such as backhoes and loaders.
Ground Water Seepage during Construction
Ground water was observed within in each of our borings at depths ranging from 5 to 8 feet
below the ground surface. Ground water seepage is expected over the depths of the proposed
excavations and will likely occur primarily within the loose to medium dense, fill and outwash
soils perched on top of the dense outwash soils. Seepage will also perch in the dense outwash
overlying the low permeability layer observed in BH -1. The ground water elevation and seepage
rates will vary with the time of year and are likely to be highest during the wet winter months.
As such, we recommend that foundation excavations be performed during the drier summer
months to reduce the quantity of ground water that must be intercepted and directed away from
the proposed excavations. Control of seepage during construction could consist of installing
trench drains a few weeks in advance of the excavations to allow time for the drains to lower the
ground water table. Depending on seepage rates and ground water depths encountered at the
time of excavation, trench drains may need to be installed in stages if caving of the trenches does
not permit excavation to the desired base of the final excavation in the first attempt. Contractors
should also be prepared to augment these site drainage systems, with supplementary methods
such as sumps and pumps.

Embankment/Structural Fill and Compaction
For the purposes of this report, material used to replace loose fill or raise site grades should be
considered structural fill. On-site granular materials, (i.e. sand, slightly silty sand, and silty sand)
free of organics or other deleterious materials, where found to be at optimum moisture content
for compaction, are considered suitable for use as structural fill.
Imported structural fill should consist of clean, free -draining, granular soils free from organic
matter or other deleterious materials. Such materials should be less than 4 inches in maximum
particle dimension, with less than 7 percent fines (portion passing the U. S. Standard No. 200
sieve), as specified for "Gravel Borrow" in Section 9-03.14(1) of the WSDOT Standard
Specifications (WSDOT, 2016). The fine-grained portion of structural fill soils should be non-
plastic.
Structural fill should be placed in loose, horizontal, lifts of not more than 8 inches in thickness
and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined using test
method ASTM D 1557 (Modified Proctor). At the time of placement, the moisture content of
structural fill should be at or near optimum. The procedure required to achieve the specified
minimum relative compaction depends on the size and type of compaction equipment, the
number of passes, thickness of the layer being compacted, and the soil moisture -density
properties.
Excavation and Embankment Construction in Landslide Hazard Area
Earthwork will be performed within the landslide hazard area at the front of the property. The
majority of the area will be regraded once the project is complete so that it no longer meets the
criteria as a landslide hazard area; therefore, the proposed modifications in this area will increase
the overall slope stability.
There is one small area at the southwest corner that has an approximately 60 percent slope that
will remain as part of the landslide hazard area that extends onto the adjacent lot. Due to the
location of the house footprint, the temporary excavation for the structure will likely extend into
this area. If the embankment slope is reconstructed with suitable structural fill and is properly
compacted and revegetated, the proposed modifications will not decrease the stability of the
slope at this property nor the adjacent property.
Wet Weather Earthwork
As the on-site soils are moisture sensitive, and will be unworkable when wet, we do not
recommend earthwork be performed in wet conditions. General recommendations relative to
earthwork that must necessarily be performed during wet weather or in wet conditions are
presented below. These recommendations should be incorporated into the contract
specifications.
