Edmonds, Washington
Dear Mr. Samora,
Geotechnical Engineers, Geologists
& Environmental Spccialists

Planning - Mike
Clugston, 2/15/22
G-5443
At your request, GEO Group Northwest, Inc., conducted a geotechnical engineering
investigation of the above -subject property for the proposed right-of-way regrade in Edmonds,
Washington. The scope of our services included review of the area geologic map;
characterization of the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions encountered; preparation of
hand auger soil logs (attached) and preparation of this geotechnical report.
SITE CONDITIONS
Site Description
The project site is located in Edmonds, Washington, as illustrated in Plate I — Site Location
Map. The site is rectangularly shaped and consists of 13,754 square feet (0.32 acres). The
property generally slopes up to the southeast, and has an elevation high of approximately 344
feet above mean sea level above a retaining wall in the southeast corner, and has an elevation
low of 318 feet at the northwest corner. The existing single-family residence and detached
garage rest in the south half of the parcel. The northern half of the property is landscaped with
grass, shrubbery, trees, and vegetation. It contains various tiered retaining walls which range

between approximately 1 to 5 feet in vertical height. Two retaining walls are within the City of
Edmonds right-of-way which borders the property to the north. The site is accessed by 172nd
Street SW to the north, and is bounded by residential developed properties to the west, south, and
east.
Description of Proposed Project
We understand that the City of Edmonds has requested the demolition of the existing retaining
walls within the City right-of-way adjacent to the north property line of the above -subject
residence. The lower wall ranges from approximately 2 to 4 feet in vertical height, while the
upper wall ranges from approximately 0.5 to 2.5 feet in vertical height.
We propose that the existing retaining walls located within the right-of-way be removed, and the
right-of-way regraded to a 2H:1V (Horizontal: Vertical) inclination. We also propose that a 2-to-
3-foot-tall retaining wall be constructed with the wall toe approximately 2 to 6 inches south of
the north property line of the project residence.
GEOLOGIC OVERVIEW
Based on a review of the geologic map for the area, as seen on Plate 2 — Geologic Map, the
project site overlies Vashon Advance Outwash (Qva) deposits from the Fraser Glaciation time
period. Advance outwash deposits were compacted by the overriding Puget glacial lobe after
deposition and are typically dense to very dense. Advance outwash deposits typically are
composed of sand with lesser amounts gravel and trace amounts of silt.
SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
On May 5th, 2021, Garrett Dean, Staff Engineering Geologist from our firm, visited the site to
perform a visual reconnaissance of the property and investigate the subsurface soil conditions at
the site. Three exploratory hand auger borings, HA-1 and HA-2, were drilled using a hand -
operated auger. The boring locations are illustrated on Plate 3 — Site Plan, and Plate 4 —
Demolition Plan and Plate 5 — Grading Plan.
BLD2022-0116
Soils encountered consisted of a thin layer of topsoil to a depth of approximately 3-10 inches,

underlain by weathered outwash consisting of medium dense to dense sand containing some 1an3120229

subrounded gravel and trace silt. Grayish brown, dense to very dense outwash of the same
composition was encountered at depths between 0.9 and 1.7 feet below the ground surface (bgs)
in the borings. These soils are acceptable for wall support. We interpret the encountered soil
profiles as undisturbed, native, and near the approximate original grade. For a more detailed
description of the soils encountered, please refer to the hand auger boring logs in Appendix A.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Geologic Hazard Area — Steep Slope
It is our understanding that the City of Edmonds has designated the northwestern region of the
property and right-of-way area a steep slope geologic hazard area. During our site
reconnaissance, we observed the slope to be vegetated without signs of slope instability. In our
opinion, the slope area is stable at this time. We do not anticipate slope instability to arise from
the proposed development processes contingent that the recommendations provided in this
report, which are conformant to the criteria contained within ECDC Chapter 23.80.070, are
followed.
Proposed Existing Wall Removal & Regrade
We proposed to remove the existing retaining walls within the City right-of-way. Once
removed, the right-of-way area should be regraded at a slope inclination of 21-1:1 V
(Horizontal:Vertical) beginning at the south edge of the 172nd Ave S and continuing upslope to
the south to the site's north property line. The retaining walls within the property line should
remain. Locally increased inclinations near the exposed utilities near the northwest property
corner can be made to accommodate access to the utilities, if needed. We estimate
approximately 28.5 (+/-) cubic yards of cut material and approximately 6.7 (+/-) cubic yards of
fill material. The approximate total of for the proposed regrade is 21.8 (+/-) cubic yards of
material. Native site soils should be used as fill for the proposed regrade and be compacted to
the specification found in this report below. No existing trees in the proposed regrade area are to
be removed. For permanent erosion control, the slope should be vegetated with grass or other
native vegetation.

Proposed New Retaining Wall
The proposed 0.5- to 3-foot-tall retaining wall composed of 6" tall by 12" long blocks should be
founded on the encountered medium dense to very dense native sandy site soils, and can be
backfilled with a clean, free -draining material such as 1-1/4-inch clean, crushed rock. Since the
site soils were observed to contain a high fraction of sand, the site soil may be used as wall
backfill contingent that the geotechnical engineer be retained on site to determine the
acceptability of soils before placement. The site soils should be placed in lifts of approximately
10 inches and compacted with a jumping jack during placement. An aerial illustration of the
proposed wall can be seen on Plate 4 — Demolition Plan and Plate 5 — Grading Plan, and wall
details are illustrated on Plates 6 & 7, Cross Sections A — A' and B — B', respectively.
Drainage
The wall requires no additional drainage considerations such that the wall is founded on and
backfilled with the observed sandy site soils or clean, crushed rock. In our opinion, footing
drains, such as a 4-inch minimum diameter, rigid perforated drain pipe, are not required behind
the new retaining wall since the native soils in the wall proximity were observed to contain a
high fraction of sand and are interpreted as free -draining material.
Grading and Earthwork
Erosion Control
Temporary erosion and sedimentation controls (TESCs), such as silt fences, should be installed
down -gradient of the areas to be disturbed to prevent sediment -laden runoff from being
discharged off site. Surface runoff should not be allowed to flow over the top of slopes into
excavations. During wet weather, exposed soils should be covered with plastic sheeting or straw
mulch. Stockpiled soils should be covered with plastic tarps. For permanent erosion control
disturbed soils should be landscaped and mulched upon completion of the site work.
A construction entrance consisting of 2-4-inch crushed rock should be installed to prevent
tracking onto the street or the existing driveway may be used. The construction entrance area
should be cleared and grubbed prior to rock placement and we recommend underlaying the rc,ck
with a woven geotextile such as Mirafi 500X, or equivalent, to provide separation beta MA2-0116
rock and subgrade soil.

Excavations and Slopes
Temporary excavation slopes should not be greater than the limits specified in local, state and
federal government safety regulations. We recommend that temporary cuts greater than 4 feet in
height be sloped at inclinations up to 1H:1V (Horizontal: Vertical) in loose to medium dense
soils. Temporary excavations in the very dense advance outwash soils can be sloped near
vertical under the observation of the geotechnical engineer. Permanent cut and fill slopes should
be inclined no steeper than 2H:IV. Fill slopes should consist of granular material compacted to
a minimum of 90 percent of the material's maximum dry density.
Based on the subsurface findings, groundwater seepage is not anticipated. If water seepage or
other adverse conditions are encountered, excavation should be halted, and the geotechnical
engineer should be contacted to review the site conditions.
LIMITATIONS
The findings and recommendations stated herein are based on field observations, our experience
on similar projects and our professional judgment. The recommendations presented herein are
our 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 and within the project schedule and budget constraints. No warranty is
expressed or implied. In the event that site conditions are found to differ from those described in
this report, we should be notified so that the relevant recommendations in this report can be
reevaluated and modified if appropriate.
