"Geotechnical Report Revision Letter, 291 East Crest Lane, Grapeview,
Washington 98546, Parcel 121182400010, N47° 18.589' W122° 51.478',"
prepared for Conrad Topacio by Geotechnical Testing Laboratory, dated
August 29,2007.
The letter described above answers most of the issues outlined in our August 16, 2007 memo. One
remaining issue is the graphical representation of factors of safety in the upper right corners of the two
slope stability diagrams. While there is a clear statement by the consultant that "the quasi-static slip
surface is shown for each of the models," it is unclear whether the bottom arc shown on each analysis
cross-section represents the minimum value allowed by regulation, or some other value. This should be
clearly stated or displayed in future reports.
Given the distance and resultant inclination from the toe of the slope to the proposed building location,
coupled with the strength value of glacial soils at the site presented by the consultant, the building site
appears to be stable. For this reason,we recommend the building permit be issued.
If you have any questions, please call. I can most easily be reached on my cell phone at 360-280-6180.

Mr. Topacio:
As per the request of the third party reviewer, we are providing additional comments to satisfy the requirements
of the Mason County Resource Ordinance for Geologically Hazardous Areas. Our original site plan was
removed and replaced with a site plan that we had not reviewed. The figure below is from the Mason County
website for the subject site. Note how the site plan was removed without regard to the end effect. To compare
our original site plan to the new site plan,we re-inspected the site on October 1,2007.

Item 1 requests additional soil information as per "MCRO 17.01.100E4." The ordinance referenced is for the
content of a Geological Assessment and not a Geotechnical Report. We request that the reviewer stop
referencing the incorrect sections of the Mason County Code. Additional soil information follows.

Item 2 requests that a site plan be provided that includes a scale bar and proposed setbacks. The latest site plan
follows this letter. We anticipate the site plan will arrive at the reviewer without further interference.
Item 3 requests a cross-section of the site. See attached.
Item 4 requests additional slope stability information to meet the newer Mason County Code. The following
figures illustrate the static and dynamic slope models.
The quasi-static slip surface is shown for the each of the models. Mason County Code requires a factor of
safety of 1.5 for static and 1.1 for dynamic at the proposed building location.

The purpose of our services is to evaluate the surface and subsurface conditions at the site as a basis for providing
geotechnical recommendations and design criteria for the project and to satisfy the requirements of the Mason
County Critical Areas Ordinance. Geotechnical Testing Laboratory is therefore providing geologic and
hydrogeologic services for the project. Specifically, our scope of services for this project will include the
following:
1 1. Review the available geologic,hydrogeologic,and geotechnical data for the site area.
1 2. Conduct a geologic reconnaissance of the site area and surrounding vicinity.
3. Investigate shallow subsurface conditions at the site by observing the exposed soil and reviewing
published well logs.
4. Evaluate the landslide and erosion hazards at the site per the Mason County Critical Areas Ordinance
regulations.
5. Provide geotechnical recommendations for site grading including site preparation, subgrade preparation,
1 fill placement criteria(including hillside grading), temporary and permanent cut and fill slopes, drainage
and erosion control measures.

SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE CONDITIONS
The proposed building site is located in an area of moderate residential development in the Puget Sound glacial
upland overlooking the Pickering Passage. The site has a southern exposure. We conducted a reconnaissance of
the site area on January 11,2006. Site elevations range from approximately zero to 66 feet.
• The building area of the site has vegetation common to the Northwest. The vegetation includes fir, alder, and
j lal, Scot's broom, bracken fern, sword fern, blackberry,
madrone trees as well as Oregon grape, huckleberry, sa
• and grasses.
At the time of the site visit,we observed evidence of active surface erosion along the existing driveway and along
a the pathway to the beach. Signs 6f erosion were also observed near the existing septic tanks on the eastern portion
of the site. No evidence of deep-seated slope instability was observed. Sloughing and sliding were observed
1 along the coastal bluff where undercutting occurs due to tidal and storm events.
1 Surface water flow was observed along the beach access trail. Seepage was observed from the face of the cut
adjacent to the beach access trail. The general topography of the site area indicates that drainage flows toward the
south. A small area slopes to the southeast from the proposed building location.

SITE GEOLOGY
The site is generally situated within the Puget Sound glacial upland. The existing topography, as well as the
surficial and shallow subsurface soils in the area, are the result of the most recent Vashon stade (stage) of the
Fraser glaciation that occurred between about 91000 and 12,000 years ago, and weathering and erosion that has
occurred since. A description of the surficial soils is included in the"Site Soils"section of this report. In general,
the soils are composed of Vashon glacial till material.
The Geologic Map of Washington — Southwest Quadrant (1987) has mapped the site geology as deposits of
continental glaciers(Qgt). The report reads:
Till— Unsorted, unstratified, highly compacted mixture of clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders
deposited directly by glacial ice; locally contains outwash sand and gravel both within and
overlying till. Consists of part of the Vashon Drift.
The Geologic Map of Southeastern Mason County, Washington, USGS Water-Supply Bulletin 29 by Noble and
Molenaar(1970)describes the site as till. The till(Qvt)is described as:
Cobbles and coarse gravel in matrix of fine sand, silt, and clay. Generally
compact,
ns fete
mixture. Extensively underlies drift plains in thicknesses of a few f to o
re poorly pervious, but has sand and gravel streaks that may yield small quantities of perched
groundwater. Serves as confining aquiclude to artesian groundwater at some localities near sea
level.

SITE SOILS
} The Soil Survey of Mason County, USDA Soil Conservation Service (1960) has mapped the site soils as an
! Indianola sandy loam, 5 to 15 percent slopes(le),at the site. The report reads:
! ]0011 Blomberg Street SW,Olympia,WA 98512 7
! Phone#: (360)754-4612 Fax#: (360)754-4848
GE®TECHNICAL TESTMG LABORATORY
In the Indianola series are excessively drained, droughty, brown soils of the uplands. They have
developed on hummocky and rolling ridges from glacial drift that consisted of loose, porous
sand. The sand came mainly from acid igneous rocks. The annual rainfall ranges from 50 to 70
inches, and the native vegetation is mainly Douglas-fir.
Indianola soils occur in the eastern half of the county in association with the Alderwood and the
] Everett soils. They are unlike the Everett soils in that they are not gravelly. They differ from the
Alderwood soils in not being gravelly and in having a sand, rather than a cemented, substratum.
Indianola soils are more nearly like the Lystair soils in the -western part of the county. They
differ from those soils mainly in having brown and yellowish-brown colors and less basic
igneous material in the parent drift. The Lystair soils are brown and reddish yellow, and they
occur in an area of higher rainfall.
Indianola sandy loam, 5 to 15 percent slopes (Ie) - Stronger relief distinguishes this soil from
Indianola sandy loam, 0 to 5 percent slopes. Use and management are similar to those of
Indianola loan sand, 5 to 15 percent slopes. Crop yields are somewhat higher because the
surface soil has a slightly finer texture. The supply of available moisture is slightly greater, but it
is still low. This soil is in capability subclass Ns and in site classes 3 and 4 for Douglas-fir.

SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
Subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by observing the
exposed building site soil and reviewing available well logs.
Depth to static groundwater is presumed deep and is beyond the

observed onsite at the time of our investigation.
Weathering, erosion, and the resultant sloughing and shallow
landsliding are natural processes that can affect steep slope areas-
Instability of this nature is typically confined to the upper weathered
or disturbed zone,which has been disturbed and has a lower strength.
Raveling, sloughing, and sliding were observed along the coastal
bluff.
Significant weathering typically occurs in the upper 2 to 3 feet and is
lthe result of oxidation, root penetration, wet/dry cycles, and
freeze/thaw cycles. Erosion in steep slope areas such as this can be
reduced by encouraging vegetation and discouraging runoff from the Y`
lsteep slopes. Erosion control recommendations for the sloping areas
are provided in the"Erosion Control"section of this report.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
Based on the results of our site reconnaissance, subsurface observations, and our experience in,the area, it is our
opinion that-the site is suitable for the proposed project. The slope is stable relative to deep-seated instability and
will not be affected by the proposed structure. The proposed structure will not undermine adjacent slopes. Proper
drainage control measures will reduce or eliminate the potential for erosion in this area and improve slope
stability. The hazards of the landslide area can be =. a
overcome in such a manner as to prevent harm to f
property and public health and safety, and the project
will cause no significant environmental impact for the
life of the project.
In general, the Indianola soils observed at the site may
be suitable for use as structural fill material. Saturated : -
soil conditions are not associated with these soils during
or following extended periods of rainfall. However, to
reduce grading time and construction costs, we ;
recommend that earthwork be undertaken during �=
p
favorable weather conditions. r
Conventional construction equipment may be utilized
for work at the site. Conventional spread footings may
be utilized at the site for support of the structure. We do
recommend that roof and footing drains be installed for the
structure with conventional spread footings. A vapor
barrier is recommended for all slab-on-grades.
Pertinent conclusions and geotechnical recommendations f k
regarding the design and construction of the proposed
single-family residence are presented below.

CLASSIFICATION LANDSLIDE — EROSION HAZARD AREA
The Mason County Critical Areas Ordinance 17.01.100 fines a( )de landslide hazard area as one containing slopes
equal to or greater than 40 percent with more than a 10-foot vertical relief. The southern slope is in excess of 100
percent and the vertical relief is in excess of 10 feet. Based on this,this site does meet the technical criteria of a
landslide hazard.
1 The Mason County Critical Areas Ordinance(17.01.104)defines an erosion hazard area as:
f Areas in Mason County underlain by soils which are subject to severe erosion when
disturbed. Such soils include, but are not limited to, those for which potential for erosion
1 is identified in the Soil Survey of Mason County, USDA Soil Conservation Service, 1960,
J or any subsequent revisions or additions to this source. These soils include, but are not
limited to, any occurrence of River Wash ("Ra') or Coastal Beaches ("Cg') and the

Based on our field observations, explorations and our experience with the soil types encountered on the property,
we conclude that although portions of the slopes on the lot exceed 100 percent, they are generally stable relative
to deep-seated failure in their present configuration.
I Excavation and backfilling will occur based on appropriate engineering and earthwork recommendations found in
I the following"Earthwork"section. Grading in the building portion of the site should be conducted in accordance
1 with geotechnical recommendations provided herein.

These processes can be managed and the risk reduced through proper construction of the residence. Erosion
control recommendations in the slope and buffer areas are provided in the "Building Setback" and "Erosion
Control"sections of this report.
1 BUILDING SETBACK
A building setback from landslide hazard areas is required unless evaluated and reduced by an engineering
geologist or a licensed professional engineer. Based on our geotechnical evaluation of the site and our experience
in the area, a building setback will be needed for this lot. The building setback may be measured from the bottom
of the footing to the face of the steep slope in accordance with the International Building Code (1805.3.1). The
1 following figure represents a shear angle for the
g gravelly sandy loam. Shear angle and cohesion are variables used
to model the site.

Setback
Slope stability was modeled using the GEO-SLOPE/W program(version 5.20)in both static and extreme dynamic
conditions (ca = 0.3). Factors of safety were determined using Bishop's, Janbu, and the Morgenstern-Price
methods. The site was modeled using a monolithic layer of glacial till. The glacial till was determined to have a
unit weight of 131 pcf, cohesion of 300 psf, and a shear angle (�) of 42°. Under static conditions, the slopes
remained stable to deep-seated and shallow failure. Under dynamic loading,the 3,328 computations demonstrated
that the slope is susceptible to surficial raveling and not large deep-seated failure. The following figure illustrates
the moment factors of safety for slope "A" under the existing conditions. The figure is the solution of greatest
concern and exhibits the need for a building setback of 35 feet from the crest of the southern slope. All
foundation elements shall be constructed on native material or engineered fill material. The current proposed
building location meets the previous requirements.

As previously discussed, weathering, erosion and the resultant surficial sloughing and shallow landsliding are
natural processes that affect slope areas. Surficial raveling and sloughing was observed onsite along the southern
coastal bluff. To manage and reduce the potential for these natural processes,we recommend the following:
➢ No drainage of concentrated surface water or significant sheet flow onto the sloped areas.
➢ No filling within the setback zone unless retained by retaining walls or constructed as an engineered fill.
SEISMIC—LIQUEFACTION HAZARD
According to the Seismic Zone Map of the United States contained in the 2003 International Building Code(IBC),
the project site is located where the maximum spectral response acceleration is 45 percent of gravity(g).
The Liquefaction Susceptibility Map of Mason County, Washington by Palmer, Magsino, Poelstra, Bilderback,
Folger,and Niggemann(September 2004)maps the site area as having a very low liquefaction potential.
The Site Class Map of Mason County, Washington by Palmer, Magsino, Bilderback, Poelstra, Folger, and
Niggemann(September 2004)maps the site area as site class C. Site class C is a very stiff soil or soft rock.
- Based on the subsurface conditions observed at the site, we interpret the site conditions to correspond to a seismic
Soil Profile Type D, for Stiff Soil, as defined by Table 1615.1.1 (IBC). This is based on probing with a %-inch
diameter steel probe rod. The shallow soil conditions were assumed to be representative for the site conditions
beyond the depths explored.
Based on our review of the subsurface conditions, we conclude that the site soils are only mildly susceptible to
liquefaction. The near-surface soils are generally in a dense condition and the static water table is located well
below the surface. Shaking of the already dense soil is not apt to produce a denser configuration and subsequently
excess pore water pressures are not likely to be produced.

EROSION CONTROL
It is our opinion that the potential erosion hazard of the site is not a limiting factor for the proposed development.
Removal of natural vegetation should be minimized and limited to the active construction areas. Yard
landscaping around the home is permissible, but understory growth on the slopes should be encouraged as much
as possible as a deterrent to erosion. Hazard trees located on steep slopes may be removed only if the stumps
remain to deter erosion.
Temporary and permanent erosion control measures should be implemented and maintained during construction
and/or as soon as practical thereafter to limit the additional influx of water to exposed areas and protect potential
receiving waters.
Erosion control measures should include, but not be limited to, silt fences, berms, and swales with ground
cover/protection in exposed areas. A typical silt fence detail is included on Figure 2. Any re-contouring of the
site will create a need for erosion control measures as listed above.

EARTHWORK
SITE PREPARATION
All areas to be excavated should be cleared of deleterious matter including any existing structures, debris, duff,
and vegetation. Based on our observations, we estimate that stripping on the order of 8 to 16 inches will be
necessary to remove the root zone and surficial soils containing organics. Areas with deeper, unsuitable organics
should be expected in the vicinity of depressions or heavy vegetation. Stripping depths of up to 2 feet may occur
in these areas. These materials may be stockpiled and later used for erosion control and landscaping. Materials
that cannot be used for landscaping or erosion control should be removed from the project site.
Where placement of fill material is required, the exposed subgrade areas should be proof-rolled to a firm and
unyielding surface prior to placement of any fill. We recommend that trees be removed with the roots, unless
located on a slope. Excavations for tree stump removal in any building area should be backfilled with structural
fill,compacted to the density requirements described in the"Structural Fill"section of this report.
If structural fill is needed, we recommend that a member of our staff evaluate the exposed subgrade conditions
after removal of vegetation and topsoil stripping is completed.

GE®TECHWAL TESTING LABORATORY
Any soft, loose or otherwise unsuitable areas delineated during foundation preparation or probing should be
compacted, if practical, or over-excavated and replaced with structural fill, based on the recommendations of our
report.
STRUCTURAL FILL
All fill material should be placed as structural fill. The structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts of
appropriate thickness to allow adequate and uniform compaction of each lift. Fill should be compacted to at least
90 percent of MDD (maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM D-1557)to within 2 feet of
subgrade and 95 percent MDD in the upper 2 feet.
The appropriate lift thickness will depend on the fill characteristics and compaction equipment used. We
recommend that the appropriate lift thickness be evaluated by our field representative during construction.
The suitability of material for use as structural fill will depend on the gradation and moisture content of the soil.
As the amount of fines (material passing No. 200 sieve) increases, soil becomes increasingly sensitive to small
changes in moisture content and adequate compaction becomes more difficult to achieve. During wet weather,we
recommend the use of well-graded sand and gravel with less than 7 percent(by weight)passing the No. 200 sieve
based on that fraction passing the'/.-inch sieve.
If prolonged dry weather prevails during the earthwork and foundation installation phase of construction, a
somewhat higher(up to 10 percent)fines content will be acceptable.
Material placed for structural fill should be free of debris, organic matter,trash, and cobbles greater than 6 inches
in diameter. The moisture content of the fill material should be adjusted as necessary for proper compaction.
SUITABILITY OF ONSITE SOILS AS FILL
Onsite soils may be considered for use as structural fill. In general, the native soils (sand, loam, and gravel)
encountered on the site must have less than 10 percent fines (material passing the US No. 200 Sieve) to be
suitable for use as structural fill.

CUT AND FILL SLOPES
All job site safety issues and precautions are the responsibility of the contractor providing services and/or work.
The following cut/fill slope guidelines are provided for planning purposes.
Temporary cut slopes will likely be necessary during grading operations. As a general guide, temporary slopes of
1.5 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter may be used for temporary cuts in the upper 3 to 4 feet of the glacially
consolidated soils that are weathered to a loose/medium-dense condition. Temporary slopes of 1 to 1 or flatter
may be used in the unweathered dense to very dense sands and gravel.
These guidelines assume that all surface loads are kept at a minimum distance of at least one-half the depth of the
cut away from the top of the slope and that significant seepage is not present on the slope face. Flatter cut slopes
will be necessary where significant raveling or seepage occurs.
Surface drainage should be directed away from all slope faces. All slopes should be seeded as soon as practical to
facilitate the development of a protective vegetative cover or otherwise protected.
FOUNDATION SUPPORT
Where foundation elements are located near slopes between 5 and 30 percent, the footings should be located a
minimum of.2 times the footing width from the slope face(horizontally),and founded in medium dense or denser
native soils or properly prepared structural fill.
We recommend a minimum width for isolated and continuous wall footings to meet IBC 2003. Footings founded
as described above can be designed using an allowable soil bearing capacity of 2,000 psf(pounds per square foot)
for combined dead and long-term live loads in areas of medium dense to dense soils.
The weight of the footing and any overlying backfill may be neglected. The allowable bearing value may be
increased by one-third for transient loads such as those induced by seismic events or wind loads.
J
Lateral loads may be resisted by friction on the bases of footings and floor slabs and as passive pressure on the
sides of footings. We recommend that an allowable coefficient of friction of 0.40 be used to calculate friction
between the concrete and the underlying soil. Active pressure may be determined using an allowable equivalent 1
fluid density of 100 pcf(pounds per cubic foot).
We estimate that settlements of footings designed and constructed as recommended will be less than 1 inch, for
the anticipated load conditions, with differential settlements between comparably loaded footings of%2 inch or
less.
t
Most of the settlements should occur essentially as loads are being applied. However, disturbance of the
foundation subgrade during construction could result in larger settlements than predicted.
FLOOR SLAB SUPPORT
Slabs-on-grade should be supported on medium dense or dense native soils or on structural fill prepared as
described in the"Structural Fill"section of this report. We recommend that floor slabs be directly underlain by a
minimum 6-inch thickness of coarse sand and/or gravel containing less than 5 percent fines (by weight). The
drainage material should be placed and compacted to an unyielding condition.

A synthetic vapor barrier may be used for the control of moisture migration through the slab, particularly where
adhesives are used to anchor carpet or the to the slab. A thin layer of sand may be placed over the vapor bar:ie:-
and immediately below the slab to protect the liner during steel and/or concrete placement. The lack of a vapor
barrier could result in wet spots on the slab,particularly in storage areas.
RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls may be utilized on the sloping portion of the site to retain fill material. The lateral pressures
acting on the subgrade and retaining walls will depend upon the nature and density of the soil behind the wall. It
is also dependent upon the presence or absence of hydrostatic pressure. If the adjacent exterior wall space is
backfilled with clean granular, well-drained soil (washed rock), the design active pressure may be determined
using an active pressure coefficient equal to 0.25 (Ka = 0.25). This design value assumes a level backslope and
drained conditions as described below.
Retaining walls located on or near the toe of a slope that extends up behind the wall should be designed for a
lateral pressure, which includes the surcharge effects of the steep slope in proximity to the wall. Although not
expected at this site,the following data is provided for planning purposes.
For an irregular or composite slope, the equivalent slope angle may be determined by extending a line
from the toe of the wall at an angle of I to 1 (Horizontal to Vertical)to a point where the line intersects the Zround
surface. The surcharge effects may be modeled by increasing the equivalent fluid pressure for flat ground by the
percentage given in the following table:
SLOPE INCLINATION: EQUIVALENT FLUID PRESSURE
Slope Angle Percent Increase Equivalent Fluid Pressure
Horizontal 0% 35 pcf
3H:1 V 25% 44 pcf
2H:1V 50% 53 pcf
1H:1V 75% 61 pcf
If the walls are greater than 4 feet in height, exclusive of the footing, additional design considerations should be
applied.
Positive drainage, which controls the development of hydrostatic pressure,can be accomplished by placing a zone
of coarse sand and gravel behind the walls. The granular drainage material should contain less than 5 percent
fines. The drainage zone should extend horizontally at least 18 inches from the back of the wall. The drainage
zone should also extend from the base of the wall to within I foot of the top of the wall. The drainage zone
should be compacted to approximately 90 percent of the MDD. Over-compaction should be avoided as this can
lead to excessive lateral pressures.
A perforated PVC pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 inches should be placed in the drainage zone along the base
of the wall to direct accumulated water to an appropriate discharge location.
We recommend that a non-woven geotextile filter fabric be placed between the drainage material and the
remaining wall backfill to reduce silt migration into the drainage zone. The infiltration of silt into the drainage
zone,with time, can reduce the permeability of the granular material.
1001 l Blomberg Street SW, Olympia,WA 98512 1
Phone#: (360)7544612 Fax#:(360)754-4848
The filter fabric should be placed in such a way that it fully separates the drainage material and the backfill, and
should be extended over the top of the drainage zone.
Lateral loads may be resisted by friction on the bases of footings and as passive pressure on the sides of footings
and the buried portions of the wall. We recommend that an allowable coefficient of friction of 0.40 be used to
Icalculate friction between the concrete and the underlying soil.
RETAINING WALL ALTERNATIVES
Typically, block wall systems are more cost effective for long-term walls than the other options. Specific design
criteria for these options can be provided at your request by the block manufacturers.
i
SITE DRAINAGE
All ground surfaces, pavements and sidewalks should be sloped away from the residence and associated
structures. Surface water runoff should be controlled by a system of curbs, berms, drainage swales, and/or catch
basins and tight-lined to the appropriate drainage facilities or to the base of the southern slope. We recommend
that conventional roof drains be installed. Footing drains shall be installed for the single-family residence. The
roof drain should not be connected to the footing drain. For footing drains, the drain invert should be below the
bottom of the footing.
We recommend that the collected stormwater runoff be directed to the appropriate drainage facilities by tight-line
or to the base of the southern slope. Drainage control measures are included on Figure 3. Onsite irrigation to
lawn areas should be closely monitored. We do not expect any adverse affects on the recharge condition of the
groundwater system.
