• Geotechnical Engineering
• Construction Monitoring
• Environmental Sciences
In accordance with your request, Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this revised
letter summarizing our geotechnical consulting services performed for the subject project. A
representative of ESNW visited the site on May 29, 2015 to conduct explorations at accessible
locations of the parcel.
. . ,
The current site layout proposes to subdivide the subject property into a total of four residential
lots. A new access road will be constructed to provide entry and egress for the new lots. This
letter covers the Snohomish County Tax Parcel No. (TPN) 006107-001-006-00. The
approximate location of the subject parcel is illustrated on Plate 1.
We understand the feasibility of infiltration for new impervious surfaces is being investigated.
The process of determining appropriate flow control is provided in Chapter 3 of the referenced
2005 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SMMWW).

Subsurface Conditions
ES -3960
Page 2
Subsurface conditions were evaluated by observing, logging, and sampling four test pits,
excavated at accessible locations of the site, using a trackhoe and operator retained by ESNW
on June 15, 2015. Representative soil samples were collected for USDA textural classification.
The approximate test locations are depicted in the shaded region on Plate 2.
In general, the site is underlain by topsoil and weathered native soils consisting primarily of
loose to medium dense silty sand (Unified Soil Classification System: SM) extending to
maximum depths of approximately six feet. Underlying the weathered soil zone, relatively clean
sand and gravel (USCS: SP, SP -SM, and GW) were encountered extending to the maximum
exploration depth of 10 feet below existing grades.
Local geologic mapping identifies Vashon till (Qvt) as the primary geologic unit underlying the
subject site. Vashon advance outwash (Qva) is mapped to underlie areas encompassing the
subject site. Based on our field observations, site soils encountered during construction will be
consistent primarily with Vashon advance outwash rather than Vashon till. In general, Vashon
advance outwash is comprised primarily of clean pebbly sand; significant gravel content is
common within the upper portions of the geologic unit.
Groundwater
Groundwater was not observed at the test pit locations at the time of our exploration (June 15,
2015). Groundwater seepage rates and elevations fluctuate depending on many factors,
including precipitation duration and intensity, the time of year, and soil conditions. In general,
groundwater flow rates are higher during the wetter, winter months.
Infiltration Evaluation
Our infiltration evaluation consisted of classifying representative soils by textural class in
accordance with the USDA Textural Triangle, as outlined in the referenced SMMWW.
Using USDA textural classification guidelines, the site soils consist primarily of extremely
gravelly coarse sand and isolated layers of gravelly loamy coarse sand, with fines contents
ranging from about 1 to 5 percent. It should be noted the soil tested at test pit location TP -2, at
a depth of about six feet, contained approximately 9 percent fines and maintained the identical
USDA soil classification of "gravelly coarse sand". In general, site soils should be considered
free draining, as in-situ fines contents are less than 5 percent. A confining layer was not
encountered at the test pit locations.
Either drywells or infiltration trenches are suitable for this project. In any event, a minimum
vertical separation of three feet between the bottom of the facility and the seasonal high
groundwater table must be maintained. ESNW should be consulted to review final infiltration
designs so as to confirm adequate separation distance has been incorporated into the plans
and to provide additional recommendations where necessary. Section 3.1.1 of the referenced
SMMWW provides design guidelines for downspout infiltration.

Design Considerations
ES -3960
Page 3
Infiltration trenches should be designed using a minimum trench length of 20 feet per 1,000
square feet of impervious surface served. Figures 3.2 and 3.3 of the referenced SMMWW
provide construction guidelines for infiltration trenches. Drywells may be used where coarse
sand is present. For this site, drywells may be designed using a minimum gravel volume of 60
cubic feet per 1,000 square feet of impervious surface served. Figure 3.4 of the referenced
SMMWW provides construction guidelines for drywells. As indicated on Table 3.7 of the
referenced SMMWW, a long-term infiltration rate of 2.0 inches per hour may be assumed for
preliminary design of infiltration facilities extending into the native coarse sands.
We reviewed Chapter 23.80 of the Edmonds Municipal Code (EMC) to determine the presence
of geologically hazardous areas on site. The majority of the lots contain gentle slope gradients
of approximately 10 percent or less. On both lots, slope gradients increase in the western
areas. As indicated on the referenced topographic survey, slope gradients in the western
approximately one-quarter of the lot range up to about 40 percent and are a maximum of about
ten feet in height. These areas appear to be natural relic drainage features.
EMC Section 23.80.020 provides classification for erosion and landslide hazard areas. The
western approximately one-quarter of the site would be considered a moderate erosion hazard
area as defined in the EMC. The steeper slopes on this site are largely isolated and are ten
feet or fewer in total heights. Based on the referenced topographic survey, it appears that the
slope gradients generally decrease off site to the west. In this respect, the slopes on the
subject site do not meet the criteria for landslide hazard area designation. Additionally, the site
soil and groundwater conditions are generally consistent with a low seismic hazard due
primarily to the relative soil density, soil gradation, and absence of a uniformly established
groundwater table.
In our opinion, standard Best Management Practices (BMPs) and setbacks may be applied to
the site layouts for the subject parcel. With respect to downspout infiltration, in our opinion,
given the isolated nature of the steeper sloped areas and the depth of sand and gravel across
the site, construction of infiltration trenches for the westernmost lot is feasible and will not
increase the potential for instability on the site or adjacent properties.
Foundations
Based on the conditions encountered at the test pit locations, construction of the new
residential structures and associated improvements at the subject site is feasible from a
geotechnical standpoint. Where loose or unsuitable soil conditions are encountered at
foundation subgrade elevations, compaction of the soils to the specifications of structural fill, or
overexcavation and replacement with structural fill may be necessary. Overexcavations may be
required at some locations depending on the conditions encountered during construction;
however, the ultimate extent of overexcavation activities should be determined by ESNW during
construction.

The following parameters may be used for foundation design:
• Allowable soil bearing capacity 2,500 psf
• Passive earth pressure
• Coefficient of friction
300 pcf
0.40
ES -3960
Page 4
The passive resistance value provided above assumes the foundations will be backfilled with
structural fill. A factor -of -safety of 1.5 has been applied to the passive resistance and friction
values provided in this section. For short-term wind and seismic loading, a one-third increase in
the allowable soil bearing capacity may be assumed. With structural loading as expected, total
settlement in the range of one inch, as well as differential settlement of approximately one-half
inch, is anticipated. The majority of the settlements should occur during construction, as dead
loads are applied.
Structural Fill
Structural fill is defined as compacted soil in foundation, slab -on -grade, and roadway areas.
Fills placed to construct permanent slopes and throughout retaining wall and utility trench
backfill areas are also considered structural fill. Soils placed in structural areas should be
placed in maximum 12 -inch loose lifts and be compacted to a relative compaction of 95 percent,
based on the laboratory maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor Method
(ASTM D1557). Fill should be placed on a level surface, particularly in the western portions of
the site where slope gradients are marginally higher. We recommend placing fill on a benched
surface in areas where slope gradients are in excess of about 20 percent. ESNW should be
consulted during early grading activities to identify areas where benched fills are appropriate
and to provide additional recommendations as necessary.
Temporary Excavations and Permanent Slopes
The Federal Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Washington
Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) provide soil classification in terms of temporary slope
inclinations. Soils encountered at the test pit locations are classified as Type B by OSHA and
WISHA. Temporary slopes over four feet in height in Type B soils should be sloped no steeper
than 1 H:1 V (Horizontal:Vertical). ESNW should observe temporary and permanent slopes to
confirm the inclinations are appropriate for the exposed soils and to provide additional grading
recommendations as necessary. If temporary slopes cannot be constructed in accordance with
OSHA and WISHA guidelines, temporary shoring may be necessary. Permanent slopes should
maintain a gradient of 2H:1V, or flatter, and should be planted with an appropriate species of
vegetation to enhance stability and to minimize erosion.

Slab -on -Grade Floors
ES -3960
Page 5
The slab -on -grade floors should be supported on a suitable capillary break material underlain
by undisturbed, competent native soil or a compacted structural fill subgrade. Structural fill in
slab -on -grade areas should be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 95 percent
throughout the upper one foot of subgrade. Unstable or yielding areas of the subgrade should
be recompacted, or overexcavated and replaced with suitable structural fill, prior to construction
of the slab.
Slab -on -grade areas should be provided with a minimum four -inch capillary break. Capillary
break soils should consist of a granular, free -draining sand and gravel soil that contains less
than 5 percent fines (percent passing the Number 200 sieve, based on the minus three -quarter -
inch fraction). In general, to help facilitate grading of the slab subgrade, the maximum
aggregate size of the capillary break material should generally be one -and -one-quarter inch. In
areas where slab moisture is undesirable, installation of a vapor barrier placed below the slab
should be considered. If a vapor barrier will be utilized, it should consist of a material
specifically designed for that use and should be installed in accordance with the specifications
of the manufacturer.
If retaining walls will be used on this project, they should be designed to resist earth pressures
and any applicable surcharge loads. For design, the following parameters may be assumed for
retaining wall design:
Active earth pressure (yielding condition)
At -rest earth pressure (restrained condition)
Traffic surcharge (passenger vehicles)
• Passive earth pressure
9 Coefficient of friction
0 Seismic surcharge
35 pcf (equivalent fluid)
55 pcf
70 psf (rectangular distribution)
300 pcf (equivalent fluid)
0.40
6H (where H = retained height)
Additional surcharge loading from foundations, sloped backfill, or other loading should be
included in the retaining wall design. Drainage should be provided behind retaining walls such
that hydrostatic pressures do not develop. If drainage is not provided, hydrostatic pressures
should be included in the wall design. ESNW should review the retaining wall designs to verify
that appropriate earth pressure values have been incorporated and to provide additional
recommendations as necessary.

Retaining walls should be backfilled with free -draining material that extends along the height of
the walls and a distance of at least 18 inches behind the wall. The upper one foot of wall
backfill can consist of a less permeable soil, if desired. A perforated drain pipe should be
placed along the base of retaining walls and tightlined to an approved discharge location.
The 2012 International Building Code specifies several soil profiles that are used as a basis for
seismic design of structures. Based on the soil conditions observed at the test sites, Site Class
D should be used for design. In our opinion, the site has a low susceptibility to liquefaction
based on the absence of a uniformly established groundwater table and the relative density of
the site soils observed at the test pit locations.
Drainage
Temporary measures to control surface water runoff during construction would likely involve
interceptor trenches and sumps. Based on the soil and groundwater conditions observed at the
test sites, active dewatering of utility excavations will likely not be necessary. In our opinion,
footing drains can be omitted if relatively clean sands and/or gravels are encountered at the
building subgrade elevations. ESNW should observe these areas to determine if footing drains
will be necessary. If footing drains are recommended, they should be installed along the
building perimeters. Exterior grades should be sloped away from buildings at a gradient of at
least 2 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet.
We trust this letter meets your current needs. Should you have questions, or if additional
information is required, please call.
