GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION
We have developed a general characterization of the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions
based upon our review of the data and our understanding of the geologic setting and planned
construction. The following table provides our geotechnical characterization.
The geotechnical characterization forms the basis of our geotechnical calculations and evaluation
of foundation options. As noted in General Comments, the characterization is based upon widely
spaced exploration points across the site, and variations are likely.

Groundwater Conditions
The boreholes were observed while drilling and after completion for the presence and level of
groundwater. The water levels observed in the boreholes can be found on the boring logs in

Groundwater was not observed borings B-1, B-2, and B-3 while drilling, and was not observed in any
boring after extraction of augers for the short duration the borings could remain open. However, this
does not necessarily mean the borings terminated above groundwater, or the water levels
summarized above are stable groundwater levels. Due to the low permeability of the soils
encountered in the borings, a relatively long period may be necessary for a groundwater level to
develop and stabilize in a borehole. Long term observations in piezometers or observation wells
sealed from the influence of surface water are often required to define groundwater levels in materials
of this type.
Groundwater level fluctuations occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff
and other factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. Therefore, groundwater
levels during construction or at other times in the life of the structure may be higher or lower than
the levels indicated on the boring logs. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be
considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project.
GEOTECHNICAL OVERVIEW
The proposed development will result in about a 14-foot deep excavation to accommodate one
level of below grade parking and the building foundations. Although not directly observed in the
surface exploration, perched shallow groundwater is commonly present over dense, glacially
consolidated soils and therefore may be present during construction. Construction dewatering
may be required during excavation and shoring installation. Additionally, the upper 13 feet of the
subsurface consists of primarily loose to medium dense cohesionless soils with the potential for
a shallow groundwater table. Therefore, the most cost-effective shoring system is likely a
cantilever soldier pile or a soldier pile and single row of tiebacks. An easement for temporary

tiebacks will be required from the private properties located on the south and west sides of the
project and from the City of Edmonds for anchoring in the public right of way to the north and east.
The soils anticipated at the base of the excavation are sufficiently dense for shallow foundations.
Casting of foundations may be performed directly onto the existing soils, provided care is
exercised during construction to minimize disturbance. Due to the appreciable silt content in these
soils, the subgrade could become unstable if not protected from excessive foot and construction
traffic, especially after precipitation events. Construction dewatering, if needed, should maintain
a dry excavation at least two feet below the foundation subgrade. If possible, construction should
be performed during the warmer and drier time of the year. If work is performed during the wet
months, an increased risk for possible unstable subgrade, and difficult working conditions,
persists. Additional site preparation recommendations are provided in the Earthwork section. The
Shallow Foundations and Floor Slabs sections address bearing on native soils, or lean mix
concrete if overexcavation is required due to disturbance of the subgrade.
Groundwater inflow into the excavation is anticipated to be limited to shallow, perched
groundwater zones so inflows are anticipated to be low.
Existing fill was observed up to 7'/z feet below ground surface, which is shallower than the depth
of the planned excavation; therefore, it is not anticipated that excavation for building foundations
or the basement floor slab will encounter fill. Sidewalk and pavement subgrades outside the
building may be supported on existing fill materials. However, there is an inherent risk for the
owner that compressible fill or unsuitable materials within or buried by the fill will not be
discovered. This risk of unforeseen conditions cannot be eliminated without completely removing
the existing fill but can be reduced by removing the upper foot of fill followed by scarification and
recompaction of an additional foot (i.e. total of 2 feet of compacted material below the subgrades).
The General Comments section provides an understanding of the report limitations.
EARTHWORK
Earthwork will include clearing and grubbing, demolition and removal of existing building
foundations, and deep excavation to about 14 feet below existing grade, foundation preparation,
and utility trenching. The following sections provide recommendations for use in the preparation
of specifications for the work. Recommendations include critical quality criteria as necessary to
render the site in the state considered in our geotechnical engineering evaluation for foundations,
floor slabs, and pavements.

December 20, 2018 Terracon Project No. 81185173 GeoReport
Site Preparation
The subgrade should be proof -rolled with an adequately loaded vehicle or construction
equipment. The proof -rolling should be performed under the observation of the Geotechnical
Engineer. Areas excessively deflecting under the proof -roll should be delineated and
subsequently addressed by the Geotechnical Engineer. Such areas should either be removed or
recompacted in place. Excessively wet or dry material should either be removed or moisture
conditioned and recompacted.
For areas outside the proposed excavation, existing vegetation and root mats should be removed
prior to placing fill. Complete stripping of the topsoil should be performed for driveway, sidewalk,
and parking areas.
Existing Fill
As noted in Geotechnical Characterization, the surface explorations encountered existing fill.
Within the building footprint, the existing fill will be removed as part of the planned excavation.
Sidewalks and driveways that are outside the building footprint will encounter fill at the subgrade
elevation. These features can be constructed over existing fill, however, there is an inherent risk
for the owner that compressible fill or unsuitable material within or buried by the fill will not be
discovered. This risk of unforeseen conditions cannot be eliminated without completely removing
the existing fill. If the owner elects to construct sidewalks and driveways over the existing fill, at
least one -foot below the planned subgrade elevation should completely stripped followed by
proof -rolling for the entire area. Areas of soft or otherwise unsuitable material should be undercut
and replaced with either new structural fill or suitable, existing on site materials. All subgrades
should be field verified by the Geotechnical Engineer to help identify areas with unstable
subgrades. These areas should be removed and replaced with suitable fill or recompacted.
Fill Material Types
Fill required to achieve design grade should be classified as structural fill and common fill.
Structural fill is material used below, or within 10 feet of structures, pavements or constructed
slopes. Common fill is material used to achieve grade outside of these areas. Earthen materials
used for structural and common fill should meet the following material property requirements:

material such as pea gravel (provided this is allowed by the pipe manufacturer) 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.

GeoReport,
Placement and compaction of recommended materials for utility trench backfill should be in
accordance with the recommendations presented herein for Earthwork. 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 in
conjunction with thinner fill lift thicknesses may be utilized on backfill placed above utilities if
damage resulting from heavier compaction equipment is of concern.
Flexible connections for utilities that pass through building foundations are recommended to
reduce potential stress associated with differential settlement that may occur between the building
foundation and the improvements located outside of the building footprint.
Earthwork Construction Considerations
Upon completion of filling and grading, care should be taken to maintain the subgrade water
content prior to construction of floor slabs. Construction traffic over the completed subgrades
should be avoided. The base of the excavation should also be graded to prevent ponding of
surface water on the prepared subgrades or in excavations. Water collecting over, or adjacent to,
construction areas should be removed. If the subgrade freezes, desiccates, saturates, or is
disturbed, the affected material should be removed, or the materials should be scarified, moisture
conditioned, and recompacted, prior to construction.
Construction dewatering is discussed in Excavation Design.
Construction Observation and Testing
The earthwork efforts should be monitored under the observation of the Geotechnical Engineer.
Each lift of compacted fill should be tested, evaluated, and reworked as necessary until approved
by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to placement of additional lifts. Each lift of fill should be tested
for density and water content. In areas of foundation excavations, the bearing subgrade should
be evaluated by the Geotechnical Engineer. In the event that unanticipated conditions are
encountered, the Geotechnical Engineer should recommend mitigation options.
In addition to the documentation of the essential parameters necessary for construction, the
continuation of the Geotechnical Engineer into the construction phase of the project provides the
continuity to maintain the Geotechnical Engineer's evaluation of subsurface conditions, including
assessing variations and associated design changes.
Wet Weather Earthwork
The foundation soils at the base of the excavation have variable fines content based on our visual
observations and lab testing and are considered moisture sensitive. The suitability of soils used
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 8
Geotechnical Engineering Report

GeoReport
for structural fill depends primarily on their grain -size distribution and moisture content when they
are placed. As the fines content (the soil fraction passing the U.S. No. 200 Sieve) increases, soils
become more sensitive to small changes in moisture content. Soils containing more than about
5 percent fines (by weight) cannot be consistently compacted to a firm, unyielding condition when
the moisture content is more than 2 percentage points above or below optimum. Optimum
moisture content is the moisture content at which the maximum dry density for the material is
achieved in the laboratory by the ASTM D1557 test procedure.
If inclement weather or in situ soil moisture content prevents the use of on -site material as
structural fill, we recommend importing granular fill containing less than 5 percent by weight
passing the U.S. No. 200 sieve, based on the fraction passing the U.S. No. 4 sieve. Stockpiled
soils should be protected with polyethylene sheeting anchored to withstand local wind conditions
and preservation of the soil's moisture content.

Description Spread Footing Wall Footing
The maximum net allowable bearing pressure is the pressure in excess of the minimum surrounding
overburden pressure at the footing base elevation. An appropriate factor of safety has been applied. These
bearing pressures can be increased by 1/3 for transient loads unless those loads have been factored to
account for transient conditions. Assumes that exterior grades are relatively level adjacent to the structure.
Values provided are for maximum loads noted in
�. For frost protection and to reduce the effects of seasonal moisture variations in the subgrade soils. For
perimeter footing and footings beneath unheated areas. For sloping ground, maintain depth below the
lowest adjacent exterior grade within 5 horizontal feet of the structure.
4. Differential settlements are as measured over a span of 50 feet.
5. Use of passive earth pressures require the sides of the excavation for the spread footing foundation to be
nearly vertical and the concrete placed neat against these vertical faces or that the footing forms be
removed and compacted structural fill be placed against the vertical footing face.
6. Passive resistance in the upper 2 feet of the soil profile should be neglected.
7. Can be used to compute sliding resistance where foundations are placed on suitable soil/materials. Should
be neglected for foundations subject to net uplift conditions.
Foundation Construction Considerations
As noted in Earthwork, the footing excavation subgrades should be observed by the
Geotechnical Engineer. The base of all foundation excavations should be free of water and loose
soil, prior to placing concrete. Concrete should be placed soon after excavating to reduce bearing
soil disturbance. Care should be taken to prevent wetting or drying of the bearing materials during
construction. Excessively wet or dry material or any loose/disturbed material in the bottom of the
footing excavations should be removed or reconditioned before foundation concrete is placed.
If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered at the base of the planned footing excavation, or if
prepared subgrades become disturbed through construction activities, the excavation should be
extended deeper to suitable soils. The excavation can be backfilled to the planned grade through
use of lean concrete as illustrated below.

DEWATERING AND SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE
We recommend that the walls and parking garage slab are positively drained to collect and convey
ground water seepage that may be present. The drainage system should consist of a combination
of free -draining structural fill (i.e. material with less than 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve),
wall drainage, footing drains, and a sump collection system if discharge by gravity is not possible.
To estimate the steady state flow rate of the under slab and a wall drainage system, further study
of groundwater inflows via pump testing and installation of a monitoring wells may be necessary
to better estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the foundation soils. For planning purposes, the
hydraulic conductivity can be approximated as 10-4 cm per second for the foundation soils, based
on particle size analyses.
Wall Drainage
Basement walls poured flush against the shoring should be provided with drainage by placing full
face geocomposite drain against the shoring wall. The geocomposite drain should be tied into the
footing drainage system. It is important to provide a good connection between the wall drain and
the footing drainage system. The detail of the wall/footing drain connection will depend on the
type of shoring, basement wall type, and perimeter footing. Drainage behind walls cast in open
excavations can consist of geocomposite drainage as discussed above or a minimum of a 2-foot
wide zone of clean sand and gravel fill with less than 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve. If a
moisture -free wall is desired, a water proof barrier, such as plastic or bentonite panels, should be
placed over the geocomposite drain prior to pouring or shotcreting the concrete wall.
Footing Drains
A perimeter footing drain should also be provided and consist of a minimum 4-inch diameter heavy
walled perforated PVC pipe or equivalent. We recommend that the footing drains have a minimum
slope of 0.25 percent, and that the pipe invert is at least 12-inches below the finish floor slab. The
pipe should be bedded in at least 4-inches and surrounded by at least 6-inches, of drainage
material consisting of 3/4-inch washed drain rock. We recommend use of nonwoven filter fabric
(Mirafi 140N or equivalent) to wrap the entire pipe and rock assembly. Cleanouts are
recommended for the footing drain system.
Sumps
If gravity flow is not possible, the footing and wall drainage system should drain to a sump for
pumping. The steady state or long-term groundwater flow rate should be evaluated during
construction and the permanent drainage system sized for that flow. If a sump system is used, a
backup pump with emergency power is recommended in case of mechanical breakdown. We
recommend that the sump and drain pipe clean outs be vented to the atmosphere to prevent the

buildup of hydrostatic pressure below the floor slab in case of mechanical or electrical failure of
the sump pumps.
Dewatering Considerations
Construction dewatering is the responsibility of the contractor, who should maintain the
excavation and foundation subgrades in a dry condition. Seepage associated with groundwater
may be encountered in the excavation for the below grade parking. Based on the results of the
subsurface explorations, active dewatering may not be necessary as groundwater was only
encountered at about 20 feet below ground surface for B-4 though zones of perched groundwater
are typical in similar geologic media. Further study of groundwater inflows via pump testing and
installation of monitoring wells may be necessary to better estimate the hydraulic conductivity of
retained soils and potential for shallow groundwater.
SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The seismic design requirements for buildings and other structures are based on the Seismic
Design Category. Site Classification is required to determine the Seismic Design Category for a
structure. The Site Classification is based on the upper 100 feet of the site profile defined by a
weighted average value of either shear wave velocity, standard penetration resistance, or
undrained shear strength in accordance with Section 20.4 of ASCE 7-10.

properties below the exploration depth to 100 feet were estimated based on our experience and knowledge
of geologic conditions of the general area.
Site Class D applies to any profile having (1) soils having an average shear wave velocity of 600 to 1,200
feet per sec, (2) an average N value of 15 to 50, (3) an undrained shear strength of 1,000 to 2,000 psf.
These values were obtained using online seismic design maps and tools provided by the USGS
(http://earthguake.usgs.gov/hazards/designmgps/).

Surface -Fault Rupture
The hazard of damage from onsite fault rupture appears to be low based on review of the
Washington Department of Natural Resources Geologic Information Portal available online
(https://geologyportal.dnr.wa.gov/#natural hazards) accessed on December 19, 2018. The
closest mapped fault is the Southern Whidbey Island fault zone, which is an inferred fault trace,
and lies approximately a 1/4 mile to the southwest.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction is the phenomenon where saturated soils develop high pore water pressures during
seismic shaking and lose their strength characteristics. This phenomenon generally occurs in
areas of high seismicity, where groundwater is shallow and loose granular soils or relatively non -
plastic fine-grained soils are present. Based on the site geology and subsurface groundwater
conditions, the risk of liquefaction of the site soils is low for this site during a design level earthquake
due to the dense nature of the glacially consolidated soils below the foundation level.
FLOOR SLABS
Design parameters for floor slabs assume the requirements for Earthwork have been followed.
Specific attention should be given to positive drainage away from the structure and. positive drainage
of the aggregate base beneath the floor slab.
Floor Slab Design Parameters
Item Description
Floor Slab Support Minimum 6 inches of 9-03.12(4) Gravel Backfill for Drains
Compacted to at least 95% of maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557)
Estimated Modulus of 160 pounds per square inch per inch (psi/in) for point loads
Subgrade Reaction 40 pounds per square inch per inch (psi/in) for all other loading scenarios
1. Floor slabs should be structurally independent of building footings or walls to reduce the possibility of floor
slab cracking caused by differential movements between the slab and foundation.
2. Modulus of subgrade reaction is an estimated value based upon our experience with the subgrade
condition, the requirements noted in Earthwork, and the floor slab support as noted in this table.
3. WSDOT Standard Specification
The use of a vapor retarder is recommended beneath concrete slabs on grade covered with wood,
tile, carpet, or other moisture sensitive or impervious coverings, or when the slab will support
equipment sensitive to moisture. When conditions warrant the use of a vapor retarder, the slab
designer should refer to ACI 302 and/or ACI 360 for procedures and cautions regarding the use
and placement of a vapor retarder.

Saw -cut control joints should be placed in the slab to help control the location and extent of
cracking. For additional recommendations refer to the ACI Design Manual. Joints or cracks should
be sealed with a water -proof, non -extruding compressible compound specifically recommended
for heavy duty concrete pavement and wet environments.
Where floor slabs are tied to perimeter walls or turn -down slabs to meet structural or other
construction objectives, our experience indicates differential movement between the walls and
slabs will likely be observed in adjacent slab expansion joints or floor slab cracks beyond the
length of the structural dowels. The Structural Engineer should account for potential differential
settlement through use of sufficient control joints, appropriate reinforcing or other means.
Floor Slab Construction Considerations
Finished subgrade within and for at least 10 feet beyond the floor slab should be protected from
traffic, rutting, or other disturbance and maintained in a relatively moist condition until floor slabs are
constructed. If the subgrade should become damaged or desiccated prior to construction of floor
slabs, the affected material should be removed and structural fill should be added to replace the
resulting excavation. Final conditioning of the finished subgrade should be performed immediately
prior to placement of the floor slab support course.
The Geotechnical Engineer should observe the condition of the floor slab subgrades immediately
prior to placement of the floor slab support course, reinforcing steel and concrete. Attention should
be paid to high traffic areas that were rutted and disturbed earlier, and to areas where backfilled
trenches are located.
LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
Design Parameters
Structures with unbalanced backfill levels on opposite sides should be designed for earth
pressures at least equal to values indicated in the following table. Earth pressures will be
influenced by structural design of the walls, conditions of wall restraint, methods of construction
and/or compaction and the strength of the materials being restrained. Two wall restraint conditions
are shown. Active earth pressure is commonly used for design of free-standing cantilever
retaining walls and assumes wall movement. The "at -rest" condition assumes no wall movement
and is commonly used for basement walls, loading dock walls, or other walls restrained at the top.
The recommended design lateral earth pressures do not include a factor of safety and do not
provide for possible hydrostatic pressure on the walls (unless stated).

rendering a unit weight of approximately 125 pcf.
3. Uniform surcharge, where S is surcharge pressure.
4. Loading from heavy compaction equipment is not included.
5. No safety factor is included in these values.
6. Values are in addition to static earth pressures
Back -fill placed against structures should consist of granular soils or low plasticity cohesive soils.
For the granular values to be valid, the granular backfill must extend out and up from the base of
the wall at an angle of at least 45 and 60 degrees from vertical for the active and passive cases,
respectively.
The basement walls connected to multiple floors are best represented by an "at -rest" earth
pressure condition due lateral movements of the walls being restrained by the floors. During
seismic loading, a moment reduction of up to 80 percent can be applied to basement walls as a
result of the stiffer, horizontal floors carrying a higher portion of the seismic load.

EXCAVATION DESIGN
Based on the soil conditions observed at the exploration locations and the assumed basement
floor slab depth of roughly 14 feet below existing grade, we recommend a soldier pile and lagging
shoring system to temporarily support the excavation required to construct the below grade
portions of the building. Recommendations for soldier piles that are both cantilevered and
supported laterally with a single row of tiebacks are provided. Provided adequate distance is
available, temporary slope cuts can be combined with the shoring system to reduce the height.
The shoring required to support the excavation is typically used as back forms for the permanent
basement walls.
Terracon should be included in discussions with the design team regarding design of temporary
shoring systems for this project and should review the shoring design for compliance with the
recommendations for shoring provided in this report. The following design and construction
parameters are provided for preliminary planning purposes.
Soldier Piles
Soldier piles for shoring are typically set in drilled holes and backfilled with lean concrete. If
tiebacks are used, structural concrete is placed in the bottom 5 to 10 feet. Soldier pile installation
for this site may involve casing the holes and/or drilling with a mud slurry to cut-off groundwater
seepage. Passive earth pressures acting on the embedded portion of the soldier piles resist
horizontal loads on the shoring system. We recommend using an allowable equivalent fluid unit
weight of 350 Ibs per cubic ft. for passive resistance. The passive earth pressure will act over
three times the diameter of the concreted soldier pile section, or the pile spacing, whichever is
less. The active earth pressures act over the concreted pile diameter below the base of the
excavation. A minimum embedment of 10 feet is recommended.
For a shoring system with a single row of tieback anchors, we recommend the apparent earth
pressure theory for sands (i.e. Figure 24) presented in the Federal Highway Administration
Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 4: Ground Anchors and Anchors Systems (FHWA 1999).
For calculating the maximum ordinate of the diagram, P, assume an active earth pressure
coefficient of 0.31 and a total unit weight of 125 Ibs per cubic foot (pcf)
For traffic loads adjacent to the shoring walls, add a uniform surcharge load equivalent to 250
Ibs per sq. ft;
For other loads adjacent to the shoring (e.g., heavy construction loads and building
foundations), contact Terracon to estimate appropriate surcharge pressures.
Seismic earth pressures are typically not included in shoring design but should be considered
if the excavation is to remain open for longer durations.

GeoReport,
Vertical capacity of the soldier piles are provided by a combination of end bearing and side friction
below the base of the excavation. The piles can be designed for an allowable end bearing capacity
and side friction of 20 ksf and 2 ksf, respectively. These values include a factor of safety of 2.
Tieback Anchors
For tieback anchors, the anchor portion of the tieback should be located sufficiently far behind the
excavation shoring to stabilize the excavation face. This "no load" zone is the area behind the
soldier pile equal to a lateral distance from the base of the excavation equal to the exposed wall
height (H in feet) divided by four, or five feet, whichever is greater, and a line sloping up and back
at 60 degrees from horizontal.
The selection of the tieback materials and installation methods should be the responsibility of the
contractor. The actual adhesion values will depend on the materials and installation method and
should be confirmed by testing. For non -pressure grouted anchors, the allowable design
concrete/soil adhesion value of 2,000 psf is recommended for the glacially consolidated soils (i.e.
bond zone at least about 13 feet below existing ground). For pressure grouted anchors, this value
can typically be increased by up to two times. For preliminary design purposes, we recommend
an ultimate pullout capacity of 10 kips/foot for 6-inch diameter, secondary pressure grouted
anchors. A factor of safety of 2 should be applied to the ultimate pullout capacity. We recommend
all tieback anchors be proof tested to at least 130% of the design capacity prior to locking off at
the specified post -tensioned design load. Prior to installation of production anchors, two
verification tests to 200% of the design pull out capacity are recommended for each soil type in
order to confirm the design anchor capacity.
The anchor spacing should be at least four feet center to center in order to avoid group effects
and the potential for anchors conflict with each other during installation. The anchor holes should
be drilled at an angle of 15 to 45 degrees down from horizontal. A minimum anchor bond of 10
feet is recommended. The location and presence of existing features such as utilities should be
checked during the design as these may affect the location and length of tieback anchors.
Lagging
We recommend timber lagging, or some other form of protection, be installed in all areas. Due to
soil arching effects, lagging may be design based on the requirements presented in presented in
the Federal Highway Administration Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 4: Ground Anchors
and Anchors Systems (FHWA 1999). Prompt and careful installation of lagging would reduce
potential loss of ground. The requirements for lagging should be made the responsibility of the
shoring subcontractor to prevent soil failure, sloughing, and loss of ground. Proper installation of
lagging is critical to provide safe working conditions. We recommend that any voids between the
lagging and soil be backfilled promptly. However, the backfill should not allow potential hydrostatic
pressure to build-up behind the wall. Drainage behind the wall must be maintained. Voids behind

GeoReport,
the lagging should be backfilled immediately with a permeable granular soil material or lean
concrete. The excavation height prior to lagging installation should not exceed 4 feet to maintain
stability of the cut face.
Soldier Pile Shoring Installation
The contractor should be required to prevent caving and loss of ground in all soldier pile drill
holes. The shoring contractor will need to use methods to minimize caving and sloughing of the
drill holes, such as the use of augercast methods or installation of casing. If more than one foot
of water is present in the bottom of the hole, placement of concrete from the bottom of the hole
using tremie methods will be required.
When drilling tieback anchor holes, casing may be required to prevent caving and loss of ground.
The anchor grout should be pumped into the anchor zone by tremie methods in order to remove
water from the hole and to provide a continuous grouted anchor.
Monitoring of Temporary Shoring
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. We
recommend, therefore, that a systematic program of observations be conducted on adjacent
facilities and structures. 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 backfrom
the excavation space of about 1/3H and H, where H is the final excavation height. Monitoring of
the shoring system should include measurements of horizontal movements at the top of every
other soldier pile. If local wet areas are noted within the excavation, additional monitoring points
may be recommended by Terracon.
The measuring system used for shoring monitoring should have an accuracy of at least 0.01-feet.
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. The frequency of readings will depend on the results of previous readings and
the rate of construction. As a minimum, readings should be taken about once a week throughout
construction until the basement walls are completed. All readings should be reviewed by
Terracon.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

the soils observed exhibit an appreciable fines content (i.e. percent passing the #200 sieve) which
is the soil particle size that largely influences soil permeability. The fines content observed for the
soils at these depths are about 15 and 28 percent, respectively. In addition, the soils at these
depths are dense to very dense. A soil unit that would be considered favorable for stormwater
infiltration was not encountered in any of the borings.
Based on particle size analysis alone, an infiltration rate of up to to'/z inch per hour is estimated.
However, analysis by particles size does not take soil packing density and is therefore not
necessarily representative of in situ conditions. Glacially consolidated soils, such as glacial till,
are generally very dense with small amounts of porewater space available. A pilot infiltration study
is typical required for evaluating stormwater infiltration potential of glacially consolidated soils. It
is unlikely that the results of an infiltration study would conclude that the site is suitable for
stormwater infiltration. Therefore, stormwater management via infiltration is not recommended.
Onsite storage with tie-in to the City of Edmonds stormwater system should be considered.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Our analysis and opinions are based upon our understanding of the project, the geotechnical
conditions in the area, and the data obtained from our site exploration. Natural variations will occur
between exploration point locations or due to the modifying effects of construction or weather.
The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until during or after construction.
Terracon should be retained as the Geotechnical Engineer, where noted in this report, to provide
observation and testing services during pertinent construction phases. If variations appear, we
can provide further evaluation and supplemental recommendations. If variations are noted in the
absence of our observation and testing services on -site, we should be immediately notified so
that we can provide evaluation and supplemental recommendations.
Our Scope of Services does not include either specifically or by implication any environmental or
biological (e.g., mold, fungi, bacteria) assessment of the site or identification or prevention of
pollutants, hazardous materials or conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for
such contamination or pollution, other studies should be undertaken.
Our services and any correspondence or collaboration are intended for the sole benefit and
exclusive use of our client for specific application to the project discussed and are accomplished
in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices with no third -party
beneficiaries intended. Any third -party access to services or correspondence is solely for
information purposes to support the services provided by Terracon to our client. Reliance upon
the services and any work product is limited to our client, and is not intended for third parties. Any
use or reliance of the provided information by third parties is done solely at their own risk. No

Boring Layout and Elevations: Terracon personnel provided the boring layout. Coordinates
were obtained with a handheld GPS unit (estimated horizontal accuracy of about ±10 feet). If
elevations and a more precise boring layout are desired, we recommend boring locations be
surveyed.
Subsurface Exploration Procedures: We advanced the borings with a track -mounted, ATV -
mounted rotary drill rig using continuous flight hollow -stem augers. Samples were obtained in 5-
foot intervals from each boring using a split -barrel sampling procedure. In this procedure, a
standard 2-inch outer diameter split -barrel sampling spoon was driven into the ground by a
140-pound automatic hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows required to
advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of a normal 18-inch penetration is recorded as the
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) resistance value. The SPT resistance values, also referred to as
N-values, are indicated on the boring logs at the test depths.
In boring B-2, the boring was inadvertently advanced through a previously abandoned borehole as
evident by the hydrated bentonite returned in the auger cutting. Due to time restriction in the day,
Terracon elected to drill out the boring until native soils were encountered, which was approximately
18 feet. Sampling, as stated above, was performed at 20 and 25 feet.
We observed and recorded groundwater levels during drilling and sampling. All borings were
backfilled with granular bentonite after their completion and pavements were patched pre -mixed
concrete.
The sampling depths, penetration distances, and other sampling information was recorded on the
field boring logs. The samples were placed in appropriate containers and taken to our soil laboratory
for testing and classification by a Geotechnical Engineer. Our exploration team prepared field
boring logs as part of the drilling operations. These field logs included visual classifications of the
materials encountered during drilling and our interpretation of the subsurface conditions between
samples. Final boring logs were prepared from the field logs. The final boring logs represent the

Water levels indicated on the soil boring logs are
the levels measured in the borehole at the times
indicated. Groundwater level variations will occur
over time. In low permeability soils, accurate
determination of groundwater levels is not
possible with short term water level
observations.

DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION
Soil classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification System. Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50% of their
dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils
have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays if they are plastic,
and silts if they are slightly plastic or non -plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents
may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse -grained soils are
defined on the basis of their in -place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.
LOCATION AND ELEVATION NOTES
Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device. The
accuracy of such devices is variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/-indicates that no actual topographical
survey was conducted to confirm the surface elevation. Instead, the surface elevation was approximately determined from
topographic maps of the area.
