stormwater disposal for this development project. Presented in this report are our
findings of the surface conditions and our recommendations of onsite storinwater disposal
for the development.
Our proposed scope of services for the geotechnical investigation comprises specifically
the following.
1. Review geologic and soil conditions at and in the vicinity of the subject project site
based on a published geologic map.
2. Explore subsurface conditions with backhoe test pits on the site to depths where an
infiltratable soil stratum is encountered or to the maximum depth (about 10 feet)
capable by the backhoe used in test pit excavation, whichever occurs first.
3. Conduct two in-situ infiltration tests in accordance with the procedure outlined in
Appendix C — Approved Methods for Obtaining Design Infiltration Rates of the
City of Edmonds Stormwater Code.
4. Prepare a written report to present our findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
A geotechnical staff from our office was on site to direct the subsurface exploration
program, examine the soil and geologic conditions encountered, and maintain logs of the
test pits.

The general location of the project site is shown on Plate I — Vicinity Map. It is situated
on a gentle, westerly declining plain. As shown on Plate 2, the project site is an
irregularly-shaped parcel of land, elongated in the north -south direction. It lies off the
south end of a long, private, joint -use, paved driveway, and is adjoined by residential
developments to its south, east and west. Within the site, the ground generally slopes
down southward from its north end and westward from its cast side at about 20% to 25%
grade for about 6 to 8 feet of drop, then trends from there westerly very gently. .
The site is currently vacant with only a couple of storage sheds on it. It is dotted by tall
mature evergreen trees with few younger deciduous trees mixed in between. The site is
partly clear and graded, with a dirt driveway constructed of fill entering at its northwest
corner.

The geology of the Puget Sound Lowland has been modified by the advance and retreat of
several glaciers in the past and subsequent deposits and erosion. The latest glacier
advanced to the Puget Sound Lowland is referred to as the Vashon Stade of the Fraser
Glaciation, which has occurred during the later stages of the Pleistocene Epoch and
retreated from the region some 12,500 years ago.
The deposits of the Vashon till soil unit were plowed directly under glacial ice during the
most recent glacial period as the glacier advanced over an eroded, irregular surface of
older formations and sediments. This soil unit is composed of a mixture of unsorted clay,
silt, sand, gravel, and scattered cobbles and boulders. The Vashon till soil over the top
two to three feet is normally weathered to a medium -dense state, and is moderately
permeable and compressible. The underlying fresh till soil, commonly referred to as
"hard pan", is very dense and weakly cemented. The fresh till soil possesses a
compressive strength comparable to that of low-grade concrete and can remain stable on
steep natural slopes or man -make cuts for a long period. It can provide excellent
foundation support with little or no settlement. The fresh till deposits are of extremely
low permeability and would be only allow ston-nwater to seep through very slowly.
SOIL CONDITION
Subsurface conditions of the project site were explored with four test pits. These test pits
were excavated on May 13, 2014, with a rubber -tracked backhoe, to depths from 6.0 to
8.0 feet. The approximate locations of the test pits are shown on Plate 2 - Site and

Exploration Location Plan. The test pits were located with either a tape measure or by
visual reference to existing topographic features in the field and on the topographic
survey map, and their locations should be considered only as accurate to the measuring
method used.
A geotechnical staff from our office was present during subsurface exploration, examined
the soil and geologic conditions encountered, and completed logs of the test pits. Soil
samples obtained from each soil layer in the test pits were visually classified in general
accordance with United Soil Classification System, a copy of which is presented on Plate
3. Detailed descriptions of soil layers encountered during site exploration are presented
in test pit logs on Plates 4 and 5.
Loose fill of 10 inches and 2.0 feet thick were encountered by Test Pits I and 4,
respectively, located on the west side and near the southwest corner of the site. The fill is
underlain by a layer of relic topsoil about 1.5 to 1.7 feet thick. Test Pits 2 and 3
encountered about 10 inches of topsoil mantling the site. Under the topsoil and relic
topsoil to about 4.0 to 5.5 feet deep is layer or layers of weathered soil of loose to
medium -dense,, silty fine sand, with various amount of gravel and occasional cobble. The
weathered soil is underlain to the depths explored by a Vashon till deposit of light -gray,
very -dense, cemented, gravelly, silty fine sand with occasional cobble.

Groundwater was not encountered by any of the four test pits excavated on the site. The
very -dense, cemented, fresh till deposit underlying the site at shallow depth is of
extremely low permeability and would only allow storinwater to seep through very slowly.
In the wet winter season, stonnwater infiltrating into the more permeable surficial soils
would perch on the till deposit. The amount of and the depth to the near -surface perched
groundwater may fluctuate seasonally depending on precipitation, vegetation cover, site
utilization, etc. It may dry up completely during the dryer summer months and
accumulate and rise in the wet winter months.
Landslide Hazard
The site is generally gently sloped with local moderately steep slopes and is underlain at
shallow depth by a very -dense till deposit. This deposit is of very -high shear strength and
is highly resistant against slope failure. Therefore, the potential for deep-seated
landslides to occur on the site should be minimal.
Erosion Hazard
The surficial fill, topsoil, and weathered soil are of low resistance against erosion, while
the underlying very -dense till deposit is highly resistive against erosion. The weak
surficial soils over the steeper portion of the site may be eroded if they are devoid of
vegetation cover and saturated. Prolonged erosion may result in surficial mudslides in the

Page 7
steeper portion of the site. To mitigate such erosion hazard, vegetation outside of
construction limits should be preserved and maintained. Unpaved exposed finished
ground within the site resulted from construction activities should be re -seeded and re -
vegetated as soon as possible. Concentrated storrawater should not be discharged
uncontrolled onto the ground within or adjacent to the site. Stormwater over impervious
Ii
surfaces, such as roofs and paved driveway, should be captured by an underground drain
line system connected to roof downspouts or by catch basins installed in the paved
driveway. Water collected by these drain line systems should be tightlined to discharge
into a storm sewer or suitable stormwater disposal facilities, such as infiltration trenches.
The Puget Sound region is in an active seismic zone. The site is moderately steep to very
gently sloped and is underlain at shallow depth by very -dense till deposits of very -high
shear strength. Therefore, the potential for seismic hazards, such as landslides,
liquefaction, lateral soil spreading, to occur on the site should be minimal. The proposed
residences, however, should be designed for seismic forces induced by strong earthquakes.
Based on the soil conditions encountered by the test pits, it is our opinion that Seismic
Use Group I and id Site Class D should be used in the seismic design of the proposed
residences in accordance with the 2009 International Building Code (IBC),

The site is underlain at shallow depth by very -dense cemented till soil. The installation in
the gently -sloped, southwestern portion of the site should not have an adverse impact on
site stability provided the recommendations in this report are fully implemented and
observed. Based on the two in-situ infiltration tests conducted in the weathered soil
underlying the site, infiltration trenches may be used to dispose storinwater collected over
impervious surfaces of the development.

In-situ Infiltration Tests
We performed two in-situ infiltration tests on May 13, 2014, on the gently -sloped
southwest portion of the project site. The locations of the infiltration tests, IT- I and IT -2,
are shown on Plate 2. The sizes of test pits were 5 ft - 10 in by 5 ft - 7 in by 2 ft - 8 in
deep for IT- I and 5 ft - I in by 5 ft - 3 in by 2 ft - 9 in deep for TT -2. The soil at bottom
of both infiltration test pits was a deposit of light -brown to light -gray, medium -dense,
silty fine sand with trace gravel. Groundwater was not encountered by the infiltration test
pits.
The two in-situ infiltration tests were conducted in accordance with the procedure
outlined in Appendix C — Approved Methods for Obtaining Design Infiltration Rates of
the City of Edmonds Stormwater Code. The test pits were filled with water for hours
initially until the amount of water infiltrating into bottom of the pits reached a steady state

L&A Job No. 14-043
Page 9
(i.e., the volume of water infiltrating into the ground through bottom of the pits was about
the same as volume of water discharged into the pits while water in the pits was kept at a
constant level). Clear tap water was used in the tests. The infiltration rates into the test
pits was then determined by the constant head method with the volumes of water
discharged into the pits measured with a flow meter attached to the hose conveying water
from the faucet into the pits for a period of 30 minutes. The volumes of water discharged
into the test pits during the 30 -minute period were measured in U.S. gallons. The
volumes of water were then converted into cubic feet and divided by the bottom areas of
the test pits to derive the infiltration rate in inches per hour (iph) for each infiltration test.
A correction factor of 4.0 is used to come up with the design infiltration rate of the target
soil layer. The results of the infiltration tests are presented as follows:

Design Infiltration Rate
'The design infiltration rates of the weathered soil of silty fine sand with trace gravel,
determined from the in-situ infiltration test results, with a correction factor of 4.0. to be
1.22 and 1.30 iph for IT -1 and IT -2, respectively. We recommend a design infiltration
rate not to exceed 1.20 iph be used for design of the infiltration trenches to be constructed
in the southwest portion of the site, near the locations of ITA and IT -2, for onsite
storrnwater disposal.
Emu
The infiltration trenches should be installed in the vicinity of Infiltration Test IT- I and IT -
2, and should be set back at least 5 feet from property lines, 8 feet from nearby building
foundations or utility trenches, and 20 feet from the top of steep slopes of 40% grade or
more. The trenches should be about 3 feet deep and cut at least 6 inches into the
underlying weathered soil. The soil unit at bottom of infiltration trenches should be
verified by a geotechnical engineer. The stability of the trench cut banks should also be
verified by a geotechnical engineer during excavation. Cut banks more than 4 feet deep
should be no steeper than IHAV to maintain stability and to prevent sloughing into
bottom of the trenches and contaminate the target soils. For safety, trenches should be
shored by trench blocks for vertical cut banks are more 4 feet deep.
The infiltration trenches should be at least 24 inches wide. The side walls of the trenches
should be lined with a layer of non -woven filter fabric, such as MIRAFI 140NS. The

trenches are then filled with clean washed 3/4 to 1-1/2 inch gravel or crushed rock to
within about 10 inches of the finish grade. The dispersion pipes should be constructed of
4 -inch rigid PVC pipes and laid level in the gravel or crushed rock filled trenches at about
16 inches below the top of trenches. The top of the gravel or crushed rock fill should also
be covered with the filter fabric liner. The remaining trenches should then be backfilled
with compacted onsite clean soils. The gravel or crushed rock fill should be placed in
lifts no more than 10 inches thick in loose state, with each lift compacted to a non -
yielding state with a vibratory mechanical compactor. Stormwater captured over paved
driveway should be routed into a catch basin equipped with an oil -water separator before
being released into the infiltration trenches.
The subject site is underlain at shallow depth by very -dense till deposits. These basal
soils are of high shear strength and the site should be quite stable. Proper and adequate
erosion mitigation and surface and groundwater drainage control are key to maintain site
stability during and after completion of construction. Construction of the infiltration
trenches should be in compliance with the recommendations in this report.
'f1iis report has been prepared for the specific application to this project for the exclusive
use by Rotary Club of Lynnwood and its associates, representatives, consultants and
contractors. We recommend that this report, in its entirety, be included in the project

contract documents for the information of the prospective contractors for their estimating
and bidding purposes and for compliance with the recornmendations in this report during
construction. The conclusions and interpretations in this report, however, should not be
construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions. The scope of this investigation does
not include services related to construction safety precautions and our recommendations
are not intended to direct the contractor's methods, techniques, sequences or procedures,
except as specifically described in this report for design considerations. Geotechnical
construction of the subject project should be monitored and inspected by a geotechnical
engineer to assure compliance with the recommendations in this report.
Our recommendations and conclusions are based on the geologic and soil conditions
encountered in the test pits, results of our infiltration tests, and our experience and
engineering judgment. The conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions
derived in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by
other members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area.
No warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
The actual subsurface conditions of the site may vary from those encountered by the test
pits. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction
starts. If variations appear then, we should be retained to re-evaluate the
recornmendations of this report, and to verify or modify them in writing prior to
proceeding further with the construction of the proposed development.

Dear Mr. Setting:
Subject: Footing Drain Discharge
Two Single -Family Residences
8 1 xx — 206'h Street SW
Edmonds, Washington
L&A Job No. 14-043
Earth Science
We previously performed a geotechnical investigation of onsite storrnwater disposal for
the subject project, with our findings of the subsurface conditions of the site and our
geotechnical recommendations presented in our report titled "Geotechnical Investigation,
Onsite Stormwater Disposal, Two Single -Family Residences, 81xx — 206"' Street SW,
Edmonds, Washington," dated May 20, 2014. The subsurface conditions of the site were
explored by four backhoe test pits excavated trom. 6.0 to 8.0 feet deep. Very -dense,
cemented, glacial till deposit was encountered by these test pits at depths froth 4.0 to 5.6
feet below existing ground surface. The till deposit was overlain by layers of topsoil,
loose to medium -dense silty fine sand, and slightly silty fine -to -coarse sand soils.
Groundwater was not encountered by any of the four test pits excavated on the site.

Based on the subsurface condition encountered by the test pits, it is our opinion that the
amount of groundwater, if any, to be collected into looting drains of the proposed
residences will be insignificant. Therefore, it is our opinion that fbotilig drains
discharged into drywells will be adequate and acceptable to dispose water in footing
drains.
Drywells should be set back at least 5 F( --,et from property lines and 8 Leet from mtjaceritl
building Foundations. Drymells should be constructed of minimuni 3 -foot by 3 -Riot deep
round or square pits. The pit walls Should be lined with a layer oft -ton -woven filter Eabric,
such as Mirafi HONS. The pits should then bc- filled with 1-112 to 3 -Inch, (,,,]call, washed
gravel to within about 9 to 10 inches offinish grade. 'The lop of the gravel fill ShOL11d also
be covered with the same filter -fabric liner and topped with (.]call soil to the finish grade.
Footing drains should be tightlined at mininium 7.5% grade to discharge into dry -wells.
Please contact LIS if you have qLICStiOnS.
