Dear Mr. Keck:
The Earth Subsidence Landslide Hazard provisions of the Edmonds Community Development Code Chapter 19.10 limits land development to the drier season of the year between October 1st
and May 1st. All groundwork, including grading and drainage installation must be completed by September 30th and the site be winterized. If work of this nature is not complete and
will overlap into the month of October or beyond, the City requires a letter stamped and signed from your geotechnical engineer of record confirming that the site is stable and work
may continue past the ordinance deadline of September 30th. If such an extension is requested it must include a detailed schedule of work that establishes a completion date. If the
City does not receive such notice from your Geotechnical Engineer of record it is understood that groundwork, as defined by ordinance, shall be stayed until May 1st, 2023.
Regardless of whether work commences or is stayed until May 1st, 2023, the geotechnical engineer of record does need to make winterization recommendations in a field report and provide
a copy to the City for approval. Winterization measures typically include protection of exposed slopes with visqueen or hydro seeding, installation and maintenance of temporary erosion
control measures and other site stabilization work.
Weekly monitoring reports from the geotechnical engineer are still required to be submitted to the City inspector upon request.
It is possible to start groundwork prior to May 1st, 2023 provided an evaluation by the geotechnical engineer confirms the site conditions are stable and work may start without creating
erosion or stability problems. These would, of course, need to be submitted for approval prior to re-commencing work. If you have, any questions please feel free to contact our office
Sincerely,
Thank you,
Christina Barson CPT
