Dear Ms. Nichols:
As requested, Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this geotechnical evaluation report
for the proposed single-family residence project. As part of our scope of services, we completed
a subsurface exploration, laboratory and engineering analyses, and prepared this written report
with our findings and recommendations for the proposed project. Based on our evaluation, the
proposed project is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint.
Project Description
The subject site is located at 20323 — 81 st Avenue West in Edmonds, Washington, as illustrated
on the attached Vicinity Map (Plate 1). The site consists of one tax parcel (Snohomish County
parcel number 00431200001501) covering 0.51 acres. The property is currently developed with
a single-family residence and associated improvements. Based on ESNW's understanding of
the proposed development, the boundary lines will be adjusted to create a new residential lot
behind the existing residence with access along the northern property line. The subject site
generally descends towards the west with total elevation change on the order of five feet or less.
The subject site is bordered by single-family residences on the east and south, 81 St Avenue West
to the west, and 203rd Street Southwest to the north.

We anticipate grading activities will include cuts and fills of about two to four feet to establish the
planned building alignments. We understand infiltration and low impact development methods
are being evaluated for stormwater management. Site improvements will also include
underground utility installations.
At the time this report was prepared, specific building load values were not available. However,
we anticipate the proposed residential structures will consist of relatively lightly loaded wood
framing supported on conventional foundations. Based on our experience with similar
developments, we estimate wall loads on the order of one to two kips per linear foot and slab -on -
grade loading of 150 pounds per square foot (psf).
If the above design assumptions are incorrect or change, ESNW should be contacted to review
the recommendations in this report. ESNW should review the final design to verify the
geotechnical recommendations provided in this report have been incorporated into the plans.
Subsurface Conditions
As part of this geotechnical evaluation, an ESNW representative observed, logged, and sampled
two test pits on December 3, 2020, excavated at accessible locations within the proposed
development area, using a mini-trackhoe and operator provided by the client. The approximate
locations of the test pits are depicted on the Test Pit Location Plan (Plate 2). Please refer to the
test pit logs provided as an attachment to this report for a more detailed description of subsurface
conditions. Representative soil samples collected at the test pit locations were analyzed in
general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and United States
Department of Agriculture methods and procedures.
Topsoil and Fill
Native topsoil was observed extending to a depth of approximately six inches below existing
ground surface (bgs). The topsoil was characterized by dark brown color and fine organic
material. Fill was encountered at test pit location TP-1 extending to a depth of two and one-half
feet bgs. The fill was characterized primarily as silty sand (USCS: SM) and was encountered in
a moist condition at the time of exploration. Fill may be present to some degree around existing
improvements and, where encountered, should be evaluated by ESNW during construction.
Native Soil
Underlying the topsoil and limited fill, native soil conditions at the test pit locations was observed
to consist primarily of silty sand with gravel (USCS: SM). Overall soil relative density increased
with depth, extending to the maximum exploration depth of about eight feet bgs. The native soil
was generally observed in a weakly to moderately cemented condition at about two to four feet
bgs.

Geologic Setting
ES-7573
Page 3
The referenced geologic map resource identifies Vashon till (Qvt) across the site and surrounding
areas. As reported on the geologic map resource, Vashon till typically consists of a nonsorted
mixture of clay, silt, sand, pebbles, cobbles, and boulders. The till was deposited directly by ice
advanced over previously deposited sediment and rocks. In addition, the referenced WSS
resource identifies Alderwood-urban land complex (Map Unit Symbol: 5) as the primary soil units
underlying the subject site. The Alderwood series was formed in glacial till plains. Based on our
field observations, native soils on the subject site are generally consistent with the geologic
setting outlined in this section.
Groundwater
Groundwater seepage was not observed at the test pit locations during the fieldwork (December
2020). However, seepage should be expected in deeper excavations at this site, particularly
during the winter, spring, and early summer months. Groundwater seepage rates and elevations
fluctuate depending on many factors, including precipitation duration and intensity, the time of
year, and soil conditions.
Geologically Hazardous Areas Assessment
As part of this geotechnical evaluation, the referenced chapter of the ECC was reviewed. Based
on our investigation and review, there are no geologically hazardous areas present on or adjacent
to the site.
Foundations
The proposed structure can be supported on conventional spread and continuous footings
bearing on undisturbed, competent native soil, compacted native soil, or new structural fill.
Competent native soils, suitable for support of the foundation, should be encountered beginning
at depths of approximately two to three feet bgs. Where loose or unsuitable soil conditions are
encountered at foundation subgrade elevations during site preparation activities, compaction of
the soils to the specifications of structural fill, or overexcavation and replacement with granular
structural fill will be necessary. Structural fill should consist of suitable granular soils compacted
to 95 percent of Modified Proctor (ASTM D1557). Compaction of the soil to the levels necessary
for use as structural fill will be difficult during wet weather conditions. Organic material exposed
at foundation subgrade elevations must be removed and grades restored with structural fill.
Provided the structures will be supported as described above, the following parameters can be
used for design of the new foundations:
• Allowable soil bearing capacity 2,500 psf
• Passive earth pressure 300 pcf (equivalent fluid)
• Coefficient of friction 0.40
Earth Solutions NW. LLC
Select Homes, Inc. ES-7573
February 5, 2021 Page 4
The passive earth pressure and coefficient of friction values include a safety factor of 1.5. A one-
third increase in the allowable soil bearing capacity can be assumed for short-term wind and
seismic loading conditions.
With structural loading as expected, total settlement in the range of one inch is anticipated, with
differential settlement of about one-half inch. The majority of the settlements should occur during
construction, as dead loads are applied.
Seismic Considerations
The 2015 and 2018 International Building Code recognizes the American Society of Civil
Engineers (ASCE) for seismic site class definitions. In accordance with Table 20.3-1 of ASCE,
Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Site Class D, should be used for
design.
In our opinion, the site susceptibility to liquefaction is negligible. The native soil relative density
and the absence of an established, shallow groundwater table are the primary bases for this
opinion.
Drainage
Temporary measures to control surface water runoff during construction would likely involve
passive elements such as interceptor trenches and sumps. ESNW should be consulted during
preliminary grading activities to evaluate seepage areas and provide recommendations to reduce
the potential for seepage -related instability.
Finish grades should be designed to direct surface water away from structures and slopes.
Grades adjacent to buildings should be sloped away at a gradient of either at least 2 percent for
a horizontal distance of up to 10 feet or the maximum allowed by adjacent structures. In our
opinion, foundation drains should be installed along building perimeter footings. A typical footing
drain detail is attached to this letter (Plate 3).

Infiltration Evaluation
ES-7573
Page 5
As indicated in the Subsurface Conditions section, native soils encountered during our fieldwork
were characterized primarily as silty sand glacial till. Based on the results of USDA textural
analyses, the native sand soils at depth were classified primarily as loamy sand with fines
contents of about 13 to 20 percent.
In -situ testing was completed in accordance with the Small-scale Pilot Infiltration Test (PIT)
procedure, as outlined in Volume III, Chapter 3, Page 526 of the 2014 SMMWW. The testing
was completed at a depth of approximately five feet at TP-1. The in -situ rate obtained during
testing was 0.50 inches per hour. Based on subsurface conditions observed before, during, and
after the PIT, it is our opinion that the low measured infiltration rate represents horizontal
movement of the water rather than vertical infiltration. Infiltration into native soils would move
laterally along the relatively impermeable unweathered till soils and would potentially impact
structural areas and utilities.
Ultimately, the native soil is not ideal for infiltration and it is our opinion other means of stormwater
management should be considered preferential to infiltration. ESNW should review the proposed
grading and drainage plans to confirm the recommendations in this report are followed, and to
provide additional recommendations as necessary.
On -site Stormwater Management
Pursuant to City of Edmonds stormwater management requirements, implementation of on -site
stormwater BMPs are required for proposed developments in accordance with specified
thresholds, standards, and lists. The intent of BMP implementation is to infiltrate, disperse, and
retain stormwater runoff on site to the extent feasible. The table below summarizes our
evaluation of low impact development methods, as outlined in the referenced stormwater manual,
from a geotechnical standpoint. It is instructed in the referenced stormwater manual that BMPs
are to be considered in the order listed (from top to bottom) for each surface type, and the first
BMP that is determined to be viable should be used. For completeness, however, we have
evaluated each listed BMP for the proposed surface types.
