Dear Mrs. Larsen,
This letter is to inform you that our office has reviewed the geotechnical report from Nelson
Geotechnical Associates, Inc. No. 999017 dated September 29, 2017, and understands its
recommendations.
The report indicates that the lot is in an area subject to landslide risk. It is impossible to guarantee
future slope stability, regardless of how well it is investigated or engineered, and risks are always
associated with construction in a known hazard area. Among these risks is the possibility of the loss or
damage to your property and life, as well as the property and life of neighbors, public and private, due
to soil failure.
Because of the unpredictable nature and wet condition of soils, owners must assume the responsibility
for risks of building and living in this known hazardous area.
The reports, recommendations, opinions, designs, and specifications associated with this project are
professional opinions only and are not to be construed as a warranty, expressed or implied, against loss
or damage.
DECLARATION STATEMENT
To the best of our knowledge and understanding, the building plans submitted with the permit
application substantially incorporate the above -mentioned reports' recommendations.
We have reviewed the geotechnical reports, understand its recommendations, have explained to the
owner the risk of loss due to slides on the site, and have incorporated into the design the
recommendations of the report and established measures to reduce the potential risk of injury or
damage that might be caused by any earth movement predicted in the report.
Thank you,
CG Engineering
