GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
MAR-VEL MARBLE REDEVELOPMENT
202 MAIN STREET
EDMONDS, WASHINGTON
Project No. 1798.01
November 21, 2017
INTRODUCTION
This report documents the surface and subsurface conditions encountered at the site and our
geotechnical engineering recommendations for the proposed Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
project located at 202 Main Street in Edmonds, Washington. The project description, site
conditions, and our geotechnical conclusions and design recommendations are presented in the
text of this report. Supporting data including detailed exploration logs, field exploration
procedures, results of laboratory testing, and other supporting information are presented as
appendices.
Our geotechnical engineering scope of services for the project included a site reconnaissance,
subsurface evaluation, laboratory testing, geotechnical analysis, and preparation of this report.
The subsurface evaluation completed for this study included two exploratory borings (B-1/MW-1
and B-2/MW-2) located near the northwest corner and south-central side of the site. Borings B-1
and B-2 extended to respective depths of approximately 35 feet below the existing ground surface.
ZGA competed additional borings (B-3/MW-3 through B-9/MW-9) and test pit explorations (TP-1A
through TP-4) as part of a Phase II environmental evaluation of the site. These additional
explorations have been incorporated into this report.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 202 Main Street in Edmonds, Washington. The site is bordered to
the north by Main Street, to the west by 2nd Avenue South, to the east by an existing alley with
commercial buildings further east, and to the south by an existing alley with a gravel parking lot
further south. The approximate site location is shown on the enclosed Vicinity Map and Legend,
Figure 1.
The site supported three conjoined commercial buildings at the time the geotechnical filed
investigation (borings B-1/MW-1 and B-2/MW-2) were completed. In general, the three conjoined
buildings were constructed along the property lines (zero lot line setback) with the exception of a
triangular open -space near the northwest corner of the site and a loading area on the north side
of the southern alley. The buildings were one-story with slab -on -grade concrete floors and were
reportedly supported on shallow foundations. Prior to ZGA's environmental evaluation of the site,
the existing buildings were substantially demolished. Exterior grades around the site slope gently
west with a total relief of about 8 feet across the site. The site is generally devoid of vegetation.
An existing closed -in -place Underground Storage Tank (UST) is reportedly located below the
sidewalk between 2nd Avenue South and the existing site buildings.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
Project No. 1798.01
November 21, 2017
We understand the project includes demolition of the existing buildings and construction of a new
two-story, mixed -use building with one level of underground parking. We understand that the new
development will have roughly the same footprint as the existing structures (about a 1-foot lot -line
setback with a few portions of the building set back about 3 to 4 feet). We understand that the
new building will utilize shallow foundations with a slab -on -grade parking level concrete floor.
Preliminary plans indicate that the below grade parking level and access ramp will be located
below the central and western portion of the building with parking level finished floor elevations
ranging from about 32.7 to 31 feet. These parking level finished floor elevations are about 5 to 11
feet below existing exterior grades and we anticipate that excavations for foundation elements
may extend about 1'/2 to 2 feet deeper for anticipated construction excavation depths of 7 to 13
feet. The eastern 25 feet of the building does not include parking and includes a below grade
utility room with a finished floor elevation of 37 feet and a 5-foot diameter stormwater detention
pipe with an invert elevation of about 30 feet. The utility room finished floor elevations are about
5 to 7 feet below existing exterior grades and we anticipate that excavations for foundation
elements may extend about 1'/2 to 2 feet below the finished floor elevation for anticipated
construction excavation depths of 7 to 9 feet, with deeper excavations for the detention pipe. We
understand that removal of the offsite closed -in -place underground storage tank is not included
in the current development plan, but may be added at a later date depending on City of Edmonds
requirements. The proposed development and parking level layout are shown on the enclosed
Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The site and nearby vicinity have a documented history of environmental conditions.
Environmental documents provided for our review indicate the following.
■ One 1,000-gallon heating oil underground storage tank (UST) was removed from the site.
• One below grade hydraulic hoist was removed from the site.
• One 1,000-gallon gasoline UST was removed from the off -site gravel parking lot located
south of the site.
• One 3,000-gallon gasoline off -site UST was closed -in -place below the sidewalk adjacent
to the west side of the site.
• Approximately 50 tons of petroleum contaminated soil (PCS) was removed from the site,
thermally treated, and disposed of offsite.
• Approximately 13 tons of PCS was removed from the off -site closed -in -place UST located
below the sidewalk adjacent to the west side of the site, thermally treated, and disposed
of offsite.
• Approximately 131 tons of PCS was removed from the off -site gravel parking lot located
south of the site, thermally treated, and disposed of offsite.
Petroleum contaminated soils were reportedly present on site at the time of previous
remedial actions above MTCA Method A cleanup levels (Chapter 173-340 WAC).

■ According to the documents, soils exceeding the cleanup standards were not able to be
excavated at the time of remedial action and remain in place.
• Groundwater was not evaluated from an environmental perspective before, during, or
following remedial action.
We understand that geotechnical recommendations are needed at this time to move forward with
project design and are provided in this report. ZGA has been authorized by the owner to complete
a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and a Focused Subsurface Investigation. These
environmental services are underway and will be submitted under separate cover. This
geotechnical report includes subsurface boring and test pit logs completed as part of our Focused
Subsurface Investigation.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Published Geologic Mapping
We assessed the geologic setting of the site and surrounding vicinity by reviewing the Geologic
Map of the Edmonds East and Part of the Edmonds West Quadrangles, Washington, U.S.
Geological Survey Map MF-1541, 1983. The geologic map indicates that the site is underlain by
Quaternary Whidbey Formation (Qw) deposits. The Whidbey Formation is generally described
as bedded, compact, medium -to -course grained sand with variable silt and gravel content and
intermittent peat deposits in the upper portion of the unit.
Soil Conditions
The subsurface evaluation completed for this project included two borings (B-1/MW-1 and B-
2/MW-2) completed near the south-central side of the site and northwest corner of the site,
respectively. Both borings extended to a depth of about 35 feet below grade. ZGA completed
additional borings and test pit explorations as part of a Phase II environmental evaluation of the site,
which have been incorporated into this report. Phase II borings B-3/MW-3 through B-9/MW-9
extended to depths ranging from about 21 to 28'/z feet below grade. Test pits TP-1 A through TP-4
extended to depths ranging from about 3'/z to 18 feet below grade. Approximate exploration
locations are shown on the enclosed Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 1.
Soils were visually classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.
Detailed, descriptive logs of the subsurface explorations and the procedures utilized in the
subsurface exploration program are presented in Appendix A. Stratification boundaries on the
boring logs represent the approximate depth of changes in soil types, although the transition
between materials may have been gradual. The soil types observed in our borings were relatively
consistent, but may vary at other locations given limitations to site access for exploration purposes
at the time this report was prepared. The nature and extent of variations may not become evident
until construction. If variations become apparent during construction, it may be necessary to
reevaluate the recommendations of this report.

Generalized descriptions of subsurface soil conditions observed at the exploration locations are
presented below. A generalized cross section through the site presenting our interpretation of the
subsurface conditions is presented in the enclosed Generalized Cross Section A - A, Figure 3.
Please refer to the boring logs in Appendix A for a more detailed description of the conditions
encountered at the exploration locations.
In general, the explorations encountered concrete pavement/sidewalk over fill soils. Below the fill,
native deposits interpreted as weathered glacial till, over glacial till, over glacial advance outwash
deposits were encountered. The following table presented a summary stratigraphy of the soils
encountered in the exploration followed by a summary description of each soil unit.

1. Ground surface elevations for borings B-1/MW-1 through B-9/1\4W-9 are based on groundwater monitoring
well top of monument elevations provided by Pacific Coast Surveys, Inc. Ground surface elevations for test
its TP-IA through TP-4 were interpolated from to oy hic contour lines presented on Fi re 2.
Existing Concrete Pavement: Borings B-1/MW-1 and B-2/MW-2 were completed through holes
cored in existing concrete pavement. The concrete pavement ranged from about 5 to 6 inches thick.
Crushed rock was not present below the concrete at the exploration locations.
Existing Fill: In general, existing fill soils encountered in the explorations consisted of loose to
medium dense, silty sand with some gravel. Former UST cavity backfill was encountered in a portion
of test pits TP-2A and TP-213 and consisted of pea gravel.

Weathered Glacial Till Deposit : Soils interpreted as weathered glacial till generally consisted of
medium dense to dense silty sand with variable gravel content. Borings B-1/MW-1 and B-9/MW-9
encountered sandy interbeds within the weathered glacial till at depths of about 4 to 10 feet below
grade.
Glacial Till Deposits: Soils interpreted as unweathered glacial till were encountered in all of the
explorations and were somewhat variable with respect to fines (silt and clay size material) content.
In general, the unweathered glacial till consisted of dense to very dense silty sand with some gravel
to sand with silt and gravel. This variation in fines content within the unweathered glacial till deposits
is depicted in Generalized Cross Section A — A', Figure 3.
Glacial Advance autwash Deposits: Soils interpreted as glacial advance outwash generally
consisted dense to very dense sand with trace to some silt and gravel. Moderate heave was
encountered within the glacial advance outwash deposits in some of the borings.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was observed in all nine borings and in two of the test pits at the time of exploration.
The observed groundwater conditions are interpreted to represent near surface perched
groundwater and a deeper groundwater surface.
Perched Groundwater: Slight perched groundwater seepage was encountered in boring B-1/MW-
1 at a depth of about 3 feet and in test pits TP-1A and TP1B at a depth of about 4 feet below
grade. In boring B-1/MW-1, the groundwater was perched within existing fill soils above lower
permeability weathered glacial till deposits. In test pits TP-1A and TP1B, the groundwater was
perched in a sand seam in glacial till deposits.
Groundwater: Groundwater seepage was encountered in all nine borings at the time of drilling
and in subsequent groundwater monitoring well readings, which are presented in the following
section. Groundwater depth readings ranged from about 13 to 18 feet below existing grade, or
from about elevation 26'/2 feet to 23'/2 feet at the time this report was prepared.
In general, groundwater seepage encountered in the borings was rapid once the borings
encountered the glacial advance outwash sand deposits at depths of about 24 to 30 feet below
grade. At some of the explorations heave was encountered within the glacial advance outwash
deposit. Groundwater seepage rates above the glacial advance outwash within the glacial till
deposits ranges from very slight to moderate and appear to correspond to the variable fines
content (percentage of silt and clay) of the glacial till encountered on site, with slower seepage
rates encountered in till soils with higher fines content.
Groundwater Monitoring Well Readings: Groundwater monitoring wells were installed in all 9
borings to evaluate fluctuations in groundwater conditions. Monitoring well construction details

1. Ground surface elevations for borings B-1/MW-1 through B-9/MW-9 are based on groundwater monitoring
well top of monument elevations provided by Pacific Coast Surveys, Inc.
Groundwater levels, flow rates and soil moisture conditions should be expected to vary throughout
the year. Fluctuations of the groundwater levels will likely occur due to seasonal variations in the
amount of rainfall, runoff and other factors not evident at the time the explorations were performed.
Therefore, groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the life of the structure may
be higher than indicated on the logs. Groundwater level fluctuations and perched water should
be considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.
Field Screening for VOCs
Soil samples recovered from the explorations were screened in the field shortly after collection
with a hand held Photoionization Detector (PID) to evaluate the presence or absence of Volatile

[aeCpruTpssional Consul~ants November 21, 2017
Organic Compounds (VOCs). PID readings are presented on the exploration logs in Appendix A
in parts per million (ppm).
Geotechnical Laboratory Testing
Geotechnical laboratory testing was completed on select soil samples obtained from the borings.
Laboratory testing included moisture content and grain size analysis tests. Due to the suspect
presence of petroleum contaminants in the upper portion of boring B-2, our geotechnical tests
were primarily completed on samples collected in boring B-1. The results of the moisture content
tests are shown on the boring logs. Results for the grain size analyses are provided in Appendix
B.
In borings B-1, the moisture content of the surficial fill encountered to a depth of about 3'/2 feet
was about 13 percent. The moisture content of the underlying weathered and unweathered glacial
till deposits encountered between 3'/2 and 25 feet ranged from about 8 to 12 percent.
Three grain size analysis tests were completed on samples collected from boring B-1 and
considered representative of the weathered and unweathered glacial till deposits and the
underlying glacial outwash deposits. The weathered and unweathered glacial till samples
collected at depths of 7'/z and 15 feet had fines contents (silt and clay size particles) of about 40
and 46 percent, respectively. The underlying glacial outwash sample collected at a depth of 30
feet had a fines content of about 5 percent.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General Considerations
Based on our subsurface exploration program and geotechnical evaluation, we conclude that the
proposed project is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint, contingent on proper design and
construction practices and implementation of the recommendations presented in this report.
Based on our analyses, conventional spread footings and slab -on -grade concrete floors can be
used for the new building.
Geotechnical engineering recommendations for temporary cuts, temporary shoring, foundations,
floor slabs, and other earthwork related phases of the project are outlined below. The
recommendations contained in this report are based upon the results of field and laboratory
testing (which are presented in Appendices A and B), engineering analyses, and our current
understanding of the proposed project. ASTM and Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) specification codes cited herein respectively refer to the current manual
published by the American Society for Testing & Materials and the current edition of the Standard
Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction, (M41-10).

Seismic Considerations
Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
Project No. 1798.01
November 21, 2017
The development was evaluated relative to seismic hazards resulting from ground shaking
associated with the Risk -Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) Ground Motion
Response Acceleration and the Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean (MCEc) Peak
Ground Acceleration in accordance with the 2012/2015 International Building Code (IBC). The
results of our seismic hazard analyses and recommended seismic design parameters are
presented in the following sections.
Ground Surface Rupture: We evaluated the potential for seismic ground surface rupture at the
site by reviewing the USGS Quaternary Fault Web Mapping Application. The mapping application
indicates that there are no mapped Quaternary faults within 5 miles of the site. It is our opinion
that the risk of ground surface rupture at the site is low.
Landslidin : Based on the relatively level topography of the site and surrounding vicinity, the risk
of earthquake -induced landsliding is low.
Soil Liquefaction and Lateral Spread _ Liquefaction is a phenomenon wherein saturated
cohesionless soils build up excess pore water pressures during earthquake loading. Liquefaction
typically occurs in loose soils, but may occur in denser soils if the ground shaking is sufficiently
strong. The explorations primarily encountered glacially consolidated glacial till over glacial
outwash deposits. Based on the dense to very dense nature of these soils below the groundwater
table, it is our opinion that the potential for liquefaction at the site is low.
Lateral spreading is a phenomenon in which soil deposits which underlie a site can experience
significant lateral displacements associated with the reduction in soil strength caused by soil
liquefaction. This phenomenon tends to occur most commonly at sites where the soil deposits
can flow toward a "free -face", such as a water body. Due to the lack of liquefiable soils at the site
and the lack of a nearby "free -face" condition, it is our opinion that the risk of lateral spreading at
the site is low.

1. In general accordance with the 201212015 International Building Code, Section 1613.3.2 and ASCE 7-10,
Chapter 20. IBC Site Class is based on the average characteristics of the upper 100 feet of the subsurface
profile.
2. The borings completed for this study extended to a maximum depth of 35 feet below grade. ZGA therefore
determined the Site Class assuming that dense to hard glacially over -consolidated soils extend to 100 feet as
suggested by published geologic males for the project area.
Site Preparation
Existing Structure Removal: At the time this report was prepared, the three site buildings had
been substantially demolished. However, portions of the foundations or other below grade
structures may be present at currently undisclosed locations. We recommend that all existing
foundation elements or other structures be demolished and removed from the proposed building
area.
Existing Utility Removal: We recommend that all underground utilities within the building pad be
completely removed. Utility pipes outside the building envelope that are not used for the new
development are expected to be located within the City of Edmonds right-of-way given the close
proximity of the building envelope to property lines. Utility abandonment in the right-of-way should
be completed in accordance with City of Edmonds requirements.
Erosion Control Measures: Stripped surfaces and soil stockpiles are typically a source of runoff
sediments. We recommend that silt fences, berms, straw waddles, and/or swales be installed
around the downslope side of stripped areas and stockpiles in order to capture runoff water and
sediment. If earthwork occurs during wet weather, we recommend that soil stockpiles be
protected with anchored plastic sheeting.
Temporary Drainage: Stripping, excavation, grading, and subgrade preparation should be
performed in a manner and sequence that will provide drainage at all times and provide proper
control of erosion. The near -surface site soils have a moderate to high fines (silt and clay) content
and are therefore highly susceptible to disturbance and erosion when wet. The site should be
graded to prevent water from ponding in construction areas and/or flowing into and/or over
excavations. Exposed grades should be crowned, sloped, and smooth -drum rolled at the end of
each day to facilitate drainage if inclement weather is forecasted. Accumulated water must be
removed from subgrades and work areas immediately and prior to performing further work in the
area. Equipment access may be limited and the amount of soil rendered unfit for use as structural
fill may be greatly increased if drainage efforts are not accomplished in a timely manner.

slow due to the fines content of the surficial soils. Instead, aeration or removal and replacement
would be more expeditious.
Runoff from the existing paved areas around the site should not be allowed to flow into excavation
areas. We recommend that asphalt berms or sandbags be used to divert runoff around the
excavation areas to a suitable discharge location.
Clearing and Stripping: We anticipate that clearing and stripping will be limited to the removal of
a few existing ornamental plantings on the north side of the building, as well as any underlying
organic -rich topsoil. We anticipate that stripping depths will vary from about 6 to 12 inches in
planter areas.
Subgrade Preparation: Once site preparation is complete, all areas that do not require over -
excavation and are at design subgrade elevation or areas that will receive new structural fill should
be compacted to a firm and unyielding condition. Some moisture conditioning of site soils may
be required to achieve a moisture content appropriate for compaction. This is generally within ±2
percent of the soils optimum moisture content.
In our opinion, earthwork should be completed during drier periods of the year when soil moisture
content can be controlled by aeration and drying. If earthwork or construction activities take place
during extended periods of wet weather, or if the in -situ moisture conditions are elevated above
the optimum moisture content, the soils could become unstable or not be compactable. In the
event the exposed subgrade becomes unstable, yielding, or unable to be compacted due to high
moisture conditions, we recommend that the materials be removed to a sufficient depth in order
to develop stable subgrade soils that can be compacted to the minimum recommended levels.
The severity of construction problems will be dependent, in part, on the precautions that are taken
by the contractor to protect the subgrade soils.
Once compacted, subgrades should be evaluated by a geotechnical engineer through visual
observation, density testing, and proof rolling if the building excavation is accessible with heavy
rubber -tired construction equipment given site access to assess the subgrade adequacy and to
detect soft and/or yielding soils. In the event that compaction fails to meet the specified criteria,
the upper 12 inches of subgrade should be scarified and moisture conditioned as necessary to
obtain at least 95 percent of the maximum laboratory density (per ASTM D1557). Those soils
which are soft, yielding, or unable to be compacted to the specified criteria should be over -
excavated and replaced with suitable material as recommended in the Structural Fill section of
this report. Alternatively, over -optimum soils could be treated with cement as a method to stabilize
and strengthen soft, wet soils.
To protect stable subgrades, either inside or outside the building excavation, we recommend
using crushed rock or crushed recycled concrete. The thickness of the protective layer should be
determined at the time of construction and be based on the moisture condition of the soil and the
amount of anticipated construction traffic.

Freezing Conditions: If earthwork takes place during freezing conditions, all exposed subgrades
should be allowed to thaw and then be compacted prior to placing subsequent lifts of structural
fill. Alternatively, the frozen material could be stripped from the subgrade to expose unfrozen soil
prior to placing subsequent lifts of fill or foundation components. The frozen soil should not be
reused as structural fill until it is allowed to thaw and adjusted to the proper moisture content,
which may not be possible during winter months.
Structural Fill Materials and Placement
Structural fill includes any material placed below foundations and pavement sections, within utility
trenches, and behind retaining walls. Prior to the placement of structural fill, all surfaces to receive
fill should be prepared as previously recommended in the Site Preparation section of this report.
Laborato Testin : Representative samples of on -site and imported soils to be used as structural
fill should be submitted for laboratory testing at least 4 days in advance of its intended use in
order to complete the necessary Proctor tests.
Re -Use of Site Soils as Structural Fill: It is our opinion that the site glacial till soils typically
consisting of silty sand with variable gravel content are suitable for reuse as general structural fill
from a compositional standpoint provided it is placed and compacted in accordance with the
recommendations presented in this report. The reuse of site soils as structural fill during wet
weather will be much more difficult. We recommend that site soils used as structural fill have less
than 4 percent organics by weight and have no woody debris greater than '/2 inch in diameter.
We recommend that all pieces of organic material greater than'/ inch in diameter be picked out
of the fill before it is compacted. Any organic -rich soil and high plasticity clay derived from
earthwork activities should be utilized in landscape areas or wasted from the site.
Imported Structural Fill: Imported structural fill may be required due to weather or other reasons.
The appropriate type of imported structural fill will depend on weather conditions. During
extended periods of dry weather, we recommend imported fill meet the requirements of Common
Borrow as specified in Section 9-03.14(3) of the 2016 Washington State Department of
Transportation, Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction (WSDOT
Standard Specifications). During wet weather, higher -quality structural fill might be required, as
Common Borrow may contain sufficient fines to be moisture sensitive. During wet weather we
recommend that imported structural fill meet the requirements of Gravel Borrow as specified in
Section 9-03.14(1) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications.
Retaining WO Backfili: With the exception of permanent foundation walls constructed directly in
front of soldier pile retaining walls, any site retaining walls should include a drainage fill zone
extending at least two feet back from the back face of wall for the entire wall height. The drainage
fill should meet the requirements of Gravel Backfill for Walls as specified in Section 9-03.12(2) of
the WSDOT Standard Specifications.

Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
Project No. 1798.01
November 21, 2017
Pavement Subgrades: Any structural fill used within the upper 2 feet below pavement sections
should have a minimum California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of 15 when compacted to a minimum of
95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density. A CBR value of 15 is representative of
the existing soils encountered when compacted as recommended in this report.
Moisture Content: The suitability of soil for use as structural fill will depend on the time of year,
the moisture content of the soil, and the fines content (that portion passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve)
of the soil. As the amount of fines increases, the soil becomes increasingly sensitive to small
changes in moisture content. Soils containing more than about 5 percent fines (such as most of
the on -site soils) cannot be consistently compacted to the appropriate levels when the moisture
content is more than approximately 2 percent above or below the optimum moisture content (per
ASTM D1557). Optimum moisture content is that moisture content which results in the greatest
compacted dry density with a specified compactive effort.
Fill Placement: Structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding 10 inches in loose
thickness. Each lift of fill should be compacted using compaction equipment suitable for the soil
type and lift thickness. Each lift of fill should be compacted to the minimum levels recommended
below based on the maximum laboratory dry density as determined by the ASTM D1557 Modified
Proctor Compaction Test. Moisture content of fill at the time of placement should be within plus
or minus 2 percent of optimum moisture content for compaction as determined by the ASTM
D1557 test method.
Compaction Criteria: Our recommendations for soil compaction are summarized in the following
table. Structural fill for roadways and utility trenches in municipal rights -of -way should be placed
and compacted in accordance with City of Edmonds codes and standards. We recommend that
a geotechnical engineer be present during grading so that an adequate number of density tests
may be conducted as structural fill placement occurs. In this way, the adequacy of the earthwork
may be evaluated as it proceeds.

Utility Trenching and Backfilling
Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
Project No. 1798.01
November 21, 2017
We recommend that utility trenching conform to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations,
such as OSHA and WISHA, for open excavations. Trench excavation safety guidelines are
presented in WAC Chapter 296-155 and WISHA RCW Chapter 49.17.
Dewatering: Some excavations for utilities and underground structures may encounter zones of
perched groundwater or the water table. At the time of our evaluation, slight perched groundwater
seepage was encountered in boring B-1/MW-1 at a depth of about 3 feet and in test pits TP-1A
and TP1 B at a depth of about 4 feet below grade. Groundwater seepage was encountered below
the perched zones in all nine borings at the time of drilling and in subsequent groundwater
monitoring well readings. Groundwater depth readings ranged from about 13 to 18 feet below
existing grade, or from about elevation 26'/z feet to 23'/z feet at the time this report was prepared.
Groundwater seepage rates were generally slight to moderate on those portions of the glacial till
located below the water table, and rapid within the underlying glacial advance outwash deposits.
The amount of seepage that may be encountered in site excavations will likely be a function of
the time of year, the size of the excavation, the excavation depth, and how long the excavation
remains open. The type and extent of dewatering measures needed, if any, will be a function of
the groundwater conditions at the time of construction. Temporary systems could include pumped
sumps, wellpoints or pumped wells.
If seepage is encountered, flattening excavation sidewalls may be necessary to reduce the risk
of caving. Otherwise, some caving of utility trench sidewalls should be anticipated where
groundwater seepage is encountered. If dewatering becomes necessary, the appropriate type of
dewatering system and means of disposing the water should be determined by the contractor
based on the conditions encountered.
Utility Subgrade Preparation: We recommend that all utility subgrades be firm and unyielding and
free of all soils that are loose, disturbed, or pumping. Such soils should be removed and replaced,
if necessary. All structural fill used to replace over -excavated soils should be compacted as
recommended in the Structural Fill section of this report. If utility foundation soils are soft, we
recommend that they be over -excavated 12 inches and replaced with crushed rock.
Structures such as manholes and catch basins which extend into soft soils should be underlain
by at least 12 inches of crushed gravel fill compacted to at least 90 percent of the modified Proctor
maximum dry density. This granular material could consist of crushed rock, quarry spalls, or
coarse crushed concrete. Alternatively, quarry spalls or pea gravel could be used until above the
water level. It may be necessary to place a geotextile fabric over the native subgrade soils if they
are too soft, to provide a separation between the bedding and subgrade soils.
Bedding: We recommend that a minimum of 4 inches of bedding material be placed above and
below all utilities or in general accordance with the utility manufacturer's recommendations and
local ordinances. We recommend that pipe bedding consist of Gravel Backfill for Pipe Zone
Page 13
Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
,SrZippo Project No. 1798.01
enprofmtonalconglltzlnt4 November21, 2017
Bedding as specified in Section 9-03.12(3) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications. All trenches
should be wide enough to allow for compaction around the haunches of the pipe, or material such
as pea gravel should be used below the spring line of the pipes to eliminate the need for
mechanical compaction in this portion of the trenches. If water is encountered in the excavations,
it should be removed prior to fill placement.
Trench Backfill: Materials, placement and compaction of utility trench backfill should be in
accordance with the recommendations presented in the Structural Fill section of this report. In
our opinion, the initial lift thickness should not exceed one foot unless recommended by the
manufacturer to protect utilities from damage by compacting equipment. Light, hand operated
compaction equipment may be utilized directly above utilities if damage resulting from heavier
compaction equipment is of concern.
Temporary and Permanent Slopes
We anticipate that temporary open cuts may be utilized in conjunction with shoring during the
construction of foundation elements for the proposed structure. Temporary excavation slope
stability is a function of many factors, including:
■ The presence and abundance of groundwater;
• The type and density of the various soil strata;
• The depth of cut;
• Surcharge loadings adjacent to the excavation; and
• The length of time the excavation remains open.
As the cut is deepened, or as the length of time an excavation is open increases, the likelihood of
sidewall sloughing or failure increases; therefore, maintenance of safe slopes and worker safety
should remain the responsibility of the contractor, who is present at the site, able to observe
changes in the soil conditions, and monitor the performance of the excavation.
It is exceedingly difficult under the variable circumstances to pre -establish a safe and
"maintenance -free" temporary cut slope angle. Therefore, it should be the responsibility of the
contractor to maintain safe temporary slope configurations since the contractor is continuously at
the job site, able to observe the nature and condition of the cut slopes, and able to monitor the
subsurface materials and groundwater conditions encountered. Unsupported vertical slopes or
cuts deeper than 4 feet are not recommended if worker access is necessary. The cuts should be
adequately sloped, shored, or supported to prevent injury to personnel from local sloughing and
spalling. Temporary slope angles should conform to applicable Federal, State, and Local
regulations based on the subsurface conditions observed at the time of construction.
Based on the conditions observed in the borings and test pits, the weathered glacial till soils
encountered in the upper 4 to 10 feet of the explorations appear to be representative of Type B
soils, as described in Chapter 296-155, Part N, Excavation Trenching and Shoring, of the
Page 14
Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
� S rG eo Project No. 1798.01
recur 6asionai �ansui x=.nts November 21, 2017
Washington Administrative Code (WAC). According to the Code, excavations less than 20 feet
deep in Type B soils may be cut at a maximum temporary slope angle of 45 degrees (1H:1V).
The underlying unweathered glacial till soils encountered in the explorations appear to be
representative of Type A soils, as described in Chapter 296-155, Part N, Excavation Trenching
and Shoring, of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). According to the Code, excavations
less than 20 feet deep in Type A soils may be cut at a maximum temporary slope angle of 53
degrees (3/4H:1V). Therefore, for preliminary planning purposes we recommend maximum
temporary slope angles of 45 degrees (1H:1V) and 53 degrees (3/4H:1V) for weathered and
unweathered glacial till soils, respectively. According to Chapter 296-155 of the WAC, the
contractor should make a determination of excavation side slopes based on classification of soils
and site conditions encountered at the time of excavation. Temporary cuts may need to be
constructed at flatter angles based upon the soil moisture and groundwater conditions at the time
of construction and the location of soil stockpiles construction equipment, or other surcharge
loads. Adjustments to the slope angles should be determined by the contractor at that time.
We recommend that all permanent cut or fill slopes constructed in native soils be designed at a
2'/2H:1 V (Horizontal:Vertical) inclination or flatter. All permanent cut and fill slopes should be
adequately protected from erosion both temporarily and permanently.
Temporary Soldier Pile Shoring
We understand that the new development will have roughly the same footprint as the existing
structures (about a 1-foot lot -line setback with a few portions of the building set back about 3 to 4
feet). Preliminary plans indicate that the below grade parking level will have finished floor
elevations ranging from about 32.7 to 31 feet. These parking level finished floor elevations are
about 5 to 11 feet below existing exterior grades and we anticipate that excavations for foundation
elements may extend about 1'h to 2 feet deeper for anticipated construction excavation depths of
7 to 13 feet. The eastern 25 feet of the building includes a below grade utility room with a finished
floor elevation of 37 feet and a 5-foot diameter stormwater detention pipe with an invert elevation
of about 30 feet. The utility room finished floor elevations is about 5 to 7 feet below existing exterior
grades and we anticipate that excavations for foundation elements may extend about 1'/z to 2 feet
deeper for anticipated construction excavation depths of 7 to 9 feet with deeper excavations for
the stormwater detention pipe.
Based on the preliminary plans, we anticipate that temporary shoring will be needed along the
perimeter of the site. Temporary construction easements for excavations and or shoring within
the City of Edmonds right-of-way may also be needed depending on the layout and design of the
shoring system.
Temporary Soldier Pile Sh )ring Considerations: Soldier pile walls consist of vertical steel beams
installed in drilled shafts that extend below the bottom of the cut. The shafts are typically backfilled
below the bottom of the cut with structural or lean -mix concrete and controlled density fill (CDF)
above the bottom of the cut. Once the cementitious material has hardened, the excavation
Page 15
%% • r Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
LI pp����0 Project No. 1798.01
reo�r. fessiai„ t Comtilmnts November 21, 2017
proceeds and lagging (typically dimensional lumber for temporary applications) is installed
between the flanges of the vertical elements to support the cut as the excavation extends down.
Soldier pile and lagging walls that are not exposed to significant surcharge loads can typically
cantilever to a maximum exposed height of about 15 feet. Beyond these heights, or if surcharge
loads are sufficient, tie back anchors are typically required to provide additional lateral support.
The length of tie backs is typically on the order of 25 to 50 feet, depending on the required anchor
capacities. Provided the maximum exposed height of temporary shoring on this project is about
15 feet or less, we expect cantilever -type soldier pile shoring will be feasible for this project.
Rapid groundwater seepage rates were observed within the glacial advance outwash deposits
encountered about 24 to 30 feet below existing grade, and heave was noted within this unit in
some of the borings. To reduce the potential for soldier pile wall shaft instability during
construction, we recommend that the design soldier pile shaft excavation depth be maintained at
least 3 feet above the glacial advance outwash deposits, if feasible. During our evaluation for this
project, ZGA representatives monitored the excavation of two soldier pile drilled shafts completed
on the property to the east of the subject site and interviewed the foreman for the shoring
contractor, Pile Contractors, Inc. At that site, significant water intrusion into the shaft excavations
typically occurred at depths of about 20 to 22 feet. The contractor indicated that they could
maintain borehole stability using a synthetic drilling fluid additive without the need for temporary
casing, and placed shaft concrete using tremie methods. We recommend that the contractor for
this project be prepared to case shafts or use other means to stabilize shaft excavation, as
needed. We further recommend that the shoring contractor's bid include a line item for borehole
stabilization and that the project schedule include provisions for stabilization measures, if needed.
Please refer to the Utility Trench and Backfilling section of this report for a discussion regarding
construction dewatering.
The shoring design criteria presented in this report should be used by the shoring designer to
design an appropriate shoring system. The shoring design should be reviewed by Zipper Geo
Associates for conformance with design criteria presented herein. It is generally not the purpose
of this report to provide specific criteria for construction methods, materials or procedures for
shoring. It should be the responsibility of the shoring designer and contractor to verify the
subsurface conditions prior to bidding and determine select appropriate materials and methods
for design and construction.
Soldier Pile Shoring and Lagging Desicln Parameters: The design of shoring is generally
accomplished using empirical relationships and apparent earth pressure distributions. These
earth pressure distributions or envelopes do not represent the precise distribution of earth
pressures but rather constitute hypothetical pressures from which tieback loads can be calculated
which would not likely be exceeded in the excavation. Additionally, pressures must be selected
to limit deflections, both vertical and horizontal, of nearby settlement sensitive structures,
roadways and utilities. The design of soldier pile and lagging shoring should include lateral
pressures exerted by the adjacent soil, surcharge loads from the adjacent building, and other
surcharges such as traffic, construction materials, crane pad loads, or temporary soil stockpiles
Page 16
�i�per�eo Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment

sac W feSannal Consultants November 21, 2017
adjacent to the excavation. 'Lateral load resistance can be mobilized passive pressures on
members that extend below the bottom of the excavation. Increased lateral load resistance could
be mobilized through the use of tiebacks that extend beyond the pressure envelopes, if needed.
Design of soldier pile shoring should be based on either "active" or "at -rest" lateral earth
pressures, depending on the degree of deformation that the shoring wall can tolerate. Lateral
wall movement for soldier pile shoring designed using active earth pressures typically range from
about 0.2 percent to 0.5 percent of the wall height. The lateral movement is typically accompanied
by vertical settlement of about 0.15 percent to 0.5 percent of the wall height with the maximum
occurring immediately behind the wall face and trending to zero at a distance of roughly two times
the wall height. If existing utilities or buildings within the zone of influence are considered to be
insensitive to this degree of settlement, then it would be appropriate to design utilizing active earth
pressures. An assumed "at -rest" earth pressure condition theoretically assumes no movement of
the soil behind the shoring, however, some settlement should realistically be anticipated due to
construction practices and/or the fact that it is not possible to construct a perfectly stiff shoring
system.
The attached Temporary Soldier Pile Shoring Design Parameters, Figure 4 provides our
recommendations for cantilever soldier pile shoring design. Additionally, construction loads such
a stockpiled soils and crane outrigger loads must be applied. Figure 5 provides pressure diagrams
for lateral earth pressures resulting from vertical surcharges behind shoring walls. For traffic
surcharges on the shoring walls we recommend using an equivalent soil surcharge of 2 feet (250
psf) be added to the walls extending down to an elevation based on a 1H:1V influence line from
the drive surface to the shoring.
Construction of soldier pile shoring walls should be in accordance with Section 6-16 of the
WSDOT Standard Specifications. When caving soil conditions are encountered in soldier pile
excavations, we recommend the contractor case or otherwise stabilize the excavation in general
accordance with WSDOT Standard Specification Section 6-16.3(3), Shaft Excavation. We
anticipate that the saturated glacial advance outwash deposits encountered at depths of about 24
to 30 feet below grade in our explorations will be highly susceptible to caving. We also recommend
that shaft backfilling be completed in general accordance with WSDOT Standard Specification
Section 6-16.3(5), Backfilling Shaft, particularly with respect to when water is present in the
excavations. We recommend the contractor be prepared to clean out the bottom of all shafts using
a clean -out bucket so that slough is limited to 2 inches or less.
Shoring Monitoring Plan: Any time an excavation is made below the level of existing buildings,
utilities or other structures, there is risk of damage even if a well -designed shoring system has
been planned. If there are settlement -sensitive structures or facilities located within a horizontal
distance of two times the wall height, we recommend a shoring monitoring program be
implemented.
Page 17
Mar-Vel Marble Redevelopment
� � rG- eo Project No. 1798.01
uecpr�)`essiona! Carstdt=Ints November 21, 2017
In order to establish the condition of existing facilities prior to construction, we recommend that
the owner and/or representatives make a complete inspection and evaluation of pavements,
structures, and utilities around the proposed excavation. This inspection should be directed
towards detecting any existing signs of damage, particularly those caused by settlement or lateral
movement. The observations should be documented by pictures, notes, survey drawings, or
other means of verification. The contractors also should establish for their own records the
existing conditions prior to construction.
The monitoring program should include measurements of the horizontal and vertical movements
of the adjacent structures and the shoring system itself. At least two reference lines should be
established adjacent to the excavation at horizontal distances back from the excavation space of
about 1/4H and 3/4H, where H is the final excavation height. Reference points for horizontal
movement should also be placed at the tops of the soldier piles.
The measuring system used for shoring monitoring should have an accuracy of at least 0.01-foot.
All reference points on the existing structures should be installed and readings taken prior to
commencing the excavation. All reference points should be read prior to and during critical stages
of construction when the piles are not braced by the structure. The frequency of readings will
depend on the results of previous readings and the rate of construction. As a minimum, readings
should be taken at least once a week throughout construction until the permanent basement walls
are completed up to the ground level of the building. All readings should be reviewed by the
geotechnical and structural engineers.
Shallow Foundations
Based on our analyses, conventional spread footings will provide adequate support for the
proposed building provided that the foundation subgrades are properly prepared. Foundation
support for the building may be obtained from either the native glacial till deposits or from new
structural fill placed in accordance with the recommendations provided in this report. The upper
one foot of foundation subgrades should be moisture conditioned, as necessary, and compacted
to a firm and non -yielding condition and to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum
dry density per ASTM D 1557.
Borings B-1/MW-1, B-2/MW-2. B-8/MW-8, and test pits TP-2A and B encountered up to about 5'/z
feet of existing fill. We do not recommend supporting foundations on existing fill soils. If
unsatisfactory fills are encountered within the proposed building area, such fills should be
removed and the excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to backfill placement and/or construction.
For all footings, we recommend that any over -excavation of unsuitable fill soils extend outside the
limits of the footings a distance equal to the depth of over -excavation, with the exception of
footings constructed against shoring walls in which case the over excavation along the face of the
shoring wall may be vertical. Foundation design recommendations are presented in the following
sections.

Gec{sr e'ss�nn, i'_r,:.<„+:ants November 21, 2017
Allowable Bearing Pressure: Continuous and isolated column footings bearing on subgrades
prepared as recommended above may be designed for a maximum allowable, net, bearing
pressure of 3,000 psf if supported on compacted structural fill or native medium dense silty sand
deposits, and 4,500 psf if supported on dense to very dense, undisturbed, silty sand deposits. A
one-third increase of the bearing pressure may be used for short -tern dynamic loads such as wind
and seismic forces.
Shallow Foundation Depth and Width: For frost protection, the bottom of all exterior footings
should bear at least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent outside grade, whereas the bottoms of
interior footings should bear at least 12 inches below the surrounding slab surface level. We
recommend that all continuous wall and isolated column footings be at least 12 and 24 inches
wide, respectively.
Lateral Resistance: We recommend using allowable base friction and passive earth values of
0.35 and 325 pcf equivalent fluid pressure, respectively. We recommend that passive resistance
be neglected in the upper 18 inches of embedment.
Estimated Settlement: Assuming the foundation subgrade soils are prepared in accordance with
recommendations presented herein, we estimate that total and differential settlements will be less
than one inch and '/z inch, respectively, over a distance of 40 feet.
Permanent Retaining Walls
We expect the project to include some backfilled cast -in -place concrete retaining walls. For
recommended bearing capacities and lateral resistance parameters, refer to the Shallow
Foundations section above. Additional recommendations for these structures are provided below.
Lateral Earth Pressures: The lateral soil pressures acting on backfilled retaining walls will depend
on the nature and density of the soil behind the wall, and the ability of the wall to yield in response
to the earth loads. Yielding walls (i.e. walls that are free to translate or rotate) that are able to
displace laterally at least 0.001 H, where H is the height of the wall, may be designed for active
earth pressures. Non -yielding walls (i.e. walls that are not free to translate or rotate) should be
designed for at -rest earth pressures. Non -yielding walls include walls that are braced to another
wall or structure, and wall corners.
Assuming that walls are backfilled and drained as described in the following paragraphs, we
recommend that yielding walls supporting horizontal backfill be designed using an equivalent fluid
density of 34 pcf (active earth pressure). Non -yielding walls should be designed using an
equivalent fluid density of 55 pcf (at -rest earth pressure).
Design of permanent retaining walls should consider additional earth pressure resulting from the
design seismic event. For the seismic case, walls should be designed for an additional uniform,
total seismic earth pressure distribution of 11 H.

The above -recommended lateral earth pressures do not include the effects of sloping backfill
surfaces, surcharges such as traffic loads, other surface loading, or hydrostatic pressures. Traffic
surcharge loads on the basement walls can be evaluated considering an equivalent soil surcharge
of 2 feet (250 psf) added to the walls extending down to an elevation based on a 1 HA V influence
line from the drive surface to the wall, similar to the methodology recommended for the shoring
walls. If other surcharge conditions exist, we should be consulted to provide revised earth
pressure recommendations.
Slab -on -Grade Floors
Based on preliminary plans, it appears that the utility room located in the eastern portion of the
building will include a conventional concrete slab -on -grade floor, while the below grade parking
area in the central and western portions of the building will include concrete pavements intended
to support passenger vehicle traffic. Recommendations for building slab -on -grade concrete floors
and parking garage concrete pavements are presented below.
Subgrade Conditions and Pre aration: The native glacial till soils appear to be suitable for support
of the slabs provided they can be compacted to the minimum recommended levels. Where
unsuitable soil is present, such as loose soils or undocumented fill, we recommend that the
material be over -excavated and replaced with common borrow or select borrow, depending on
the prevailing weather conditions. Subgrades should be prepared in accordance with the
recommendations presented in the Subgrade Preparation section of this report.
Slab Base: To provide a uniform slab bearing surface, we recommend the on -grade slabs in non -
parking areas be underlain by a 4-inch thick layer of compacted crushed rock meet the
requirements of Crushed Surfacing Top Course as specified in Section 9-03.9(3) of the WSDOT
Standard Specifications. Within the parking garage, we recommend that the top course thickness
be increased to 6 inches.
Vapor Retarder: From a geotechnical standpoint, a vapor barrier is not considered to be
necessary for the proposed building. Where potential slab moisture is a concern or where
moisture sensitive floor coverings are planned, we recommend that a 10- to 15-mil moisture
barrier be installed beneath all interior slabs. We recommend using a puncture -resistant product
such as Stego Wrap or an approved equivalent that is classified as a Class A vapor retarder in
accordance with ASTM E1745. Puncturing the vapor barrier should be avoided; construction
traffic should not be allowed to drive over any vapor barrier material. The slab designer should
and contractor should refer to ACI 302 for procedures and cautions regarding the use and
placement of a vapor retarder. We recommend that installation of the vapor barrier be completed
in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
ZGA is completing Phase II environmental services to evaluate the approximate extent and
concentration of contaminants that may be present on site. If soil or groundwater containing

volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are encountered below planned excavation depths a more
extensive vapor retarder system than recommended above may be warranted and recommended
in our Phase II report to reduce the potential for vapor intrusion into the building.
Sub_ rade Modulus: For design of on -grade concrete slabs supported on dense to very dense
native soils, we recommend a vertical modulus of subgrade reaction of 250 pounds per cubic inch
(pci) be used. For slabs supported on compacted structural fill or medium dense native soil, we
recommend using a vertical modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 pounds per cubic inch.
Parking Garage Concrete Pavement: The following parking level concrete pavement design
recommendations are based on an assumed modulus of rupture of 600 psi and a minimum
compressive strength of 4,000 psi for the concrete. For light duty pavement, we recommend a
minimum of 5 inches of concrete over 6 inches of crushed aggregate base. Based on the soils
encountered, we recommend that concrete pavements be lightly reinforced to control cracking
and have relatively closely spaced control joints on the order of 10 to 12 feet. We recommend
that minimum reinforcement consist of 6x6-W2.OxW2.0 welded wire fabric, or equivalent.
Drainage Considerations
Surface Drainage: Final site grades should be sloped to carry surface water away from buildings
and other drainage -sensitive areas. Additionally, site grades should be designed such that
concentrated runoff on softscape surfaces is avoided.
Sub -slab Drainage: Due to the low permeability of the glacial till soils beneath the garage slab,
and observed groundwater conditions, we recommend that sub -slab drains be installed below the
parking level concrete slab -on -grade floor. We recommend using 4-inch diameter perforated PVC
pipes embedded at least 2 feet below the bottom of the slab that are spaced on 15- to 20-foot
centers. We recommend that the trenches be backfilled with aggregate meeting the gradation
requirements of WSDOT Standard specification 9-03.12(4), Gravel Backfill for Drains and that the
trenches be lined with a non -woven filter fabric such as Mirafi 140N or equivalent prior to placing
the drainpipe and drainage aggregate. We recommend the pipes have a minimum slope of 6
inches in 50 feet.
The pipes should be laid out such that they do not interfere with the bearing soils of adjacent
foundations. Bearing soils within an envelope defined by extending horizontally one foot from all
sides of a foundations and then down at a 1 H:1V slope should not be disturbed.
Subsurface Perimeter Drainage: We recommend a permanent subsurface drainage system be
installed around the perimeter of the structure. We anticipate two types of systems may be
required; a system for backfilled retaining walls and a system for walls cast against temporary
shoring walls. Our recommendations for each are provided below.
Backfilled Walls: Drains for backfilled walls should consist of an aggregate drainage zone
(as recommended in the Structural Fill section) and a drain pipe. The footing drains should
consist of a minimum 4-inch diameter, Schedule 40, rigid, perforated PVC pipe placed at

the base of the heel of the footing with the perforations facing down. The pipe should be
surrounded by a minimum of 6 inches of clean free -draining granular material conforming
to WSDOT Standard Specification 9-03.12(4), Gravel Backfill for Drains. A non -woven
filter fabric such as Mirafi 140N, or equivalent, should envelope the free -draining granular
material. At appropriate intervals such that water backup does not occur, the drainpipe
should be connected to a tightline system leading to a suitable discharge. Cleanouts
should be provided for future maintenance. The tightline system must be separate from
the roof drain system.
Walls Cast Against Shoring Walls: Prefabricated drainage matting (such as Miradrain
or J-Drain 400) should be placed on the outside face of shoring (lagging) full width and
height of the wall between soldier pile flanges. Near the bottom of the wall, and at the
center between soldier piles, a prefabricated connector (such as Drain Grate) should be
connected to the drainage matting. The connector should be fitted with a 3-inch minimum
diameter weep hole pipe that will extend through the face of the permanent foundation
wall. The weep hole pipe should be connected to a tightline system leading to a suitable
discharge.
CLOSURE
The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based, in part, on the explorations
completed for this study. The number, location, and depth of the explorations were completed
within the constraints of budget and site access so as to yield the information to formulate our
recommendations. Project plans were in the preliminary stage at the time this report was
prepared. We therefore recommend we be provided an opportunity to review the final plans and
specifications when they become available in order to assess that the recommendations and
design considerations presented in this report have been properly interpreted and implemented
into the project design.
The performance of earthwork, structural fill, shoring, foundations, and pavements depend greatly
on proper site preparation and construction procedures. We recommend that Zipper Geo
Associates, LLC be retained to provide geotechnical engineering services during the earthwork -
related construction phases of the project. If variations in subsurface conditions are observed at
that time, a qualified geotechnical engineer could provide additional geotechnical
recommendations to the contractor and design team in a timely manner as the project
construction progresses.

FIELD EXPLORATION PROCEDURES AND LOGS
FIELD EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
Our field exploration included nine borings and four test pits completed between April and
September 2017. The approximate exploration locations are presented on the enclosed Site and
Exploration Plan, Figure 2. Boring locations and ground surface elevations were provided to ZGA
by Pacific Coast Surveys, Inc. Test pit exploration locations were determined in the field by
measuring distances from existing site features with a fiberglass tape relative to a Topographic
and Boundary Survey prepared by Geo Dimensions dated April 11, 2016. Ground surface
elevations at the test pit locations were interpolated from topographic lines presented on the
Topographic and Boundary Survey. The vertical datum is reported as NAVD 88. As such, the
exploration locations and elevations should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by
the measurement methods. The following sections describe our procedures associated with the
explorations. Descriptive logs of the explorations are enclosed in this appendix.
Soil Boring Procedures
Borings were advanced using hollow -stem auger drilling methods by an independent drilling
companies working under subcontract to our firm. Borings B-1/MW-1 and B-1/MW-2 were
advanced using a limited -access, track -mounted drill rig operated by Geologic Drill, Inc. Borings
B-2/MW-2 through B-9/MW-9 were advanced using a truck -mounted drill rig operated by
Environmental Drilling, Inc. A geologist from our firm continuously observed the borings, logged
the subsurface conditions encountered, and obtained representative soil samples. All samples
were stored in moisture -tight containers and transported to our laboratory for further visual
classification and testing.
Throughout the drilling operation, soil samples were obtained at 2.5- to 5-foot intervals by means
of the Standard Penetration Test (ASTM: D-1586). This testing and sampling procedure consists
of driving a standard 2-inch outside diameter steel split spoon sampler 18 inches into the soil with
a 140-pound hammer free falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler
through each 6-inch interval is recorded, and the total number of blows struck during the final 12
inches is recorded as the Standard Penetration Resistance, or "blow count" (N value). If a total
of 50 blows are struck within any 6-inch interval, the driving is stopped and the blow count is
recorded as 50 blows for the actual penetration distance. The resulting Standard Penetration
Resistance values indicate the relative density of granular soils and the relative consistency of
cohesive soils.
The enclosed boring logs describe the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in
each boring, based primarily upon our field classifications and supported by our subsequent
laboratory examination and testing. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational, our
logs indicate the average contact depth. Where a soil type changed between sample intervals,
we inferred the contact depth. Our logs also graphically indicate the blow count, sample type,
sample number, and approximate depth of each soil sample obtained from the boring, as well as
any laboratory tests performed on these soil samples. If groundwater was encountered in a
borehole, the approximate groundwater depth, and date of observation, is depicted on the log.
Groundwater monitoring wells were installed in both explorations completed for this project.
Monitoring well construction details are presented on the boring logs. Post exploration
groundwater levels measured in the monitoring wells are reported on the boring logs and in the
report text.
The boring logs presented in this appendix are based upon the drilling action, observation of the
samples secured, laboratory test results, and field logs. The various types of soils are indicated
as well as the depth where the soils or characteristics of the soils changed. It should be noted
that these changes may have been gradual, and if the changes occurred between sample
intervals, they were inferred.
Test Pit Procedures
An independent contractor working under subcontract to the Owner excavated the test pits using
a tracked -mounted excavator. A geologist from our firm continuously observed the test pit
excavations, logged the subsurface conditions, and obtained representative soil samples. The
samples were stored in moisture tight containers and transported to our laboratory for further
visual classification and testing. After we logged each test pit, the operator backfilled each test
pit with excavated soils tamped into place. Some settlement of the backfill should be expected
over time.
The enclosed test pit logs indicate the vertical sequence of soils and materials encountered in
each test pit, based primarily on our field classifications and supported by our subsequent
laboratory testing. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational or undulating, our logs
indicate the average contact depth. We estimated the relative density and consistency of in situ
soils by means of the excavation characteristics and by the sidewall stability. Our logs also
indicate the approximate depths of any sidewall caving or groundwater seepage observed in the
test pits, as well as all sample numbers and sampling locations.

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING PROCEDURES AND RESULTS
LABORATORY TESTING PROCEDURES
A series of laboratory tests were performed during the course of this study to evaluate the index
and geotechnical engineering properties of the subsurface soils. Descriptions of the types of tests
performed are given below.
Visual Classification
Samples recovered from the exploration locations were visually classified in the field during the
exploration program. Representative portions of the samples were carefully packaged in moisture
tight containers and transported to our laboratory where the field classifications were verified or
modified as required. Visual classification was generally done in accordance with ASTM D-2488.
Visual soil classification includes evaluation of color, relative moisture content, soil type based
upon grain size, and accessory soil types included in the sample. Soil classifications are
presented on the exploration logs in Appendix A.
Photoionization Detector
Recovered soil samples were also screened in the field shortly after collection with a hand held
Photoionization Detector (PID) to evaluate the presence or absence of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs). PID readings are presented on the exploration logs in Appendix A in parts
per million (ppm).
Moisture Content Determinations
Moisture content determinations were performed on representative samples obtained from the
explorations in order to aid in identification and correlation of soil types. The determinations were
made in general accordance with the test procedures described in ASTM D-2216. Moisture
contents are presented on the exploration logs in Appendix A.
Grain Size Analysis
A grain size analysis indicates the range in diameter of soil particles included in a particular
sample. Grain size analyses were performed on representative samples in general accordance
with ASTM: D-422. The results of the grain size determinations for the samples were used in
classification of the soils, and are presented in this appendix.
