1.0 INTRODUCTION
Envirotech Engineering (Envirotech) has completed a geotechnical investigation for a planned
single family residence located at 18755 E State Route 106, identified as parcel number 12206-
50-00900, Mason County, Washington. See the vicinity map on the following page for a general
depiction of the site location.
An initial geotechnical evaluation of the project was conducted by Envirotech on August 29,
2018. It was determined that slopes in excess of 40% with a vertical relief of at least 10 feet were
present within 300 feet of the planned development. Based on this site characteristic, the
proposed development will require a geotechnical report pursuant to Landslide Hazard Areas of
Mason County Resource Ordinance (MCRO) 8.52.140. During the site visit by Envirotech,
surface and subsurface conditions were assessed. After completion of the field work and
applicable project research, Envirotech prepared this geotechnical report which, at a minimum,
conforms to the applicable MCRO.
As presented herein, this report includes information pertaining to the project in this Introduction
Section; observations of the property- and surrounding terrain in the Surface Conditions Section;
field methods and soil descriptions in the Subsurface Investigation Section; supporting
documentation with relation to slope stability, erosion, seismic considerations, and lateral earth
pressures in the Engineering Analyses and Conclusions Section; and, recommendations for

2.0 SURFACE CONDITIONS
Information pertaining to the existing surface conditions for the project was gathered on August
29, 2018 by a representative with Envirotech. During the site visit, the type of geotechnical
investigation was assessed, site features were documented that may influence construction, and
site features were examined that may be influenced by construction. This Surface Conditions
Section provides information on general observations, vegetation, topography, drainage and
observed slope/ erosion conditions for the project and surrounding areas that may impact the
project.
2.1 General Observations
Currently, the property is vacant with an existing trailer, paved driveway, septic holding tank,
retaining walls and a bulkhead. Vegetation on and near the project consists primarily of firs, and
other trees and shrubbery common to this area of the Pacific Northwest. An aerial photo of the
project and immediate vicinity is provided on the following page.
2.2 Topography
The topographic information provided in this section was extrapolated from a public lidar source,
and incorporated observations and field measurements. Where necessary, slope verification
included measuring slope lengths and inclinations with a cloth tape and inclinometer. See the Site
Plan in Appendix A in this report for an illustration of general topography with respect to the
planned development.
Critical descending slopes, with grades exceeding 40% appear to be within 300 feet of the
planned development. This is in the form of altered grade. The maximum natural slope is
approximately 27%with a vertical relief of about 30 feet.
Ascending grades are generally located to the east of the planned development. These slopes are
relatively-minor within 300 feet of the project,with no apparent slope grades of at least 30%.
2.2.1 Upslope Geomorphology
The upland area of the property and beyond is generally situated on a hillside of landslide
origin after the last ice age.
2.3 Surface Drainage
Runoff originating upslope of the development is mostly diverted away from the property by
accommodating topography. Excessive scour, erosion or other indications of past drainage
problems were not observed within the immediate vicinity of the planned development.
2.3.1 Upslope Water Bodies
There are no apparent water bodies or wetlands located upslope from the planned
development that would significantly influence the project.

2.4 Slope and Erosion Observations
The slope gradients near the project signal a potential landslide or erosion hazard area. Some
indicators that may suggest past slope movements include:
• Outwash of sediments near the bottom of the slope,
• Fissures, tension cracks. hummocky ground or stepped land masses on the face or top of
the slope, and parallel to the slope,
• Fine, saturated subsurface soils,
• Old landslide debris,
• Significant bowing or leaning trees,or,
• Slope sloughing or calving.
Although indicators were observed off site, these slope instability indicators or other significant
mass wasting on the property were not observed or discovered during research. Indications of
past landslides, current unstable slopes, deep-seated slope problems, or surficial slope failures
were not observed during the site visit.

3.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
Information on subsurface conditions pertaining to the project was primarily gathered on October
11, 2018 by a representative with Envirotech. Applicable information on field methods, sampling,
field testing, general geologic conditions, specific subsurface conditions, and results from soil
testing are presented in this section of the report. Appendix B of this report includes pertinent
information on subsurface conditions for the project, such as subsoil cross-section(s), test pit
log(s), and applicable water well report(s). Water well reports were utilized to estimate ground
water levels, and if sufficient,were used in identifying subsoil types. Applicable test pit locations
are depicted on the Site Plan provided in the appendix of this report.
3.1 Field Methods,Sampling and Field Testing
Information on subsurface conditions for the project was accomplished by examining soils within
test pits and/ or nearby banks extending to depths of up to 4 feet below the natural ground
surface. Information on subsurface conditions also included reviewing geological maps
representing the general vicinity of the project, and water well reports originating from nearby
properties.
Soil samples were not obtained from this project. Envirotech measured the relative density of the
near-surface in-situ soils by gauging the resistance of hand tools. Within testing locations, field
testing results generally indicated loose to medium dense soils in the upper 48 inches, and very
dense soils from 48 inches to the depth of terminous.
3.2 General Geologic Conditions
In general, soils at the project are composed of materials from glacial advances. The geologic
conditions as presented in the "Geologic Map of Washington," compiled by J. Eric Schuster,
2002 indicates Quaternary sediments, Qg. Quaternary sediments are generally unconsolidated
deposits, and dominantly deposited from glacial drift, including alluvium deposits. This project is
located within the Puget Lowland. Typically, "lower tertiary sedimentary rocks unconformably
overlie the Crescent Formation."as revealed in the Geologic Map. Initial sedimentary rocks were
formed from shales, sandstones and coal deposits from rivers. During the Quaternary period, the
Puget Lowland was covered by numerous ice sheets,with the most recent being the Fraser glacier
with a peak of approximately 14,000 years ago. Upon the glacial retreat, the landscape was
formed by glacial erosion glacial drift deposits.

4.0 ENGINEERING ANALYSES AND CONCLUSIONS
The following section includes slope stability, erosion, seismic considerations, and impacts to
both on-site and off-site properties.
4.1 Slope Stability
Landslides are natural geologic processes, and structures near slopes possess an inherent risk of
adverse settlement, sliding or structural damage due to these processes. Geotechnical engineering
cannot eliminate these risks for any site with sloping grades because gravity is constantly
inducing strain on the sloping soil mass. Excessive wet weather and/ or earthquakes will
exacerbate these strains. Geotechnical engineering considers excessive wet weather and `design'
earthquakes in order to provide an acceptable factor of safety for developing on or near sloping
terrain with relation to current engineering protocol. These factors of safeties are based on
engineering standards such as defining engineering properties of the soil, topography, water
conditions, seismic acceleration and surcharges. Surface sloughing or other types of surficial
slope movements usually do not affect the deep-seated structural capability of the slope.
However, repeated surficial slope movements, if not repaired, may represent a threat to the
structural integrity of the slope. If any slope movement arises,the slope should be inspected by an
engineer. Subsequently,maintenance may be required in order to prevent the possibility of further
surficial or deep seated slope movements that may be damaging to life and property.
According to the Coastal Zone Atlas of Mason County, Washington, the project is within and
near terrain labeled `Stable' and `Unstable' regarding potential landslide activity. Descriptions of
these mapping units may be found in the aforesaid Atlas. A Stability Map from the Coastal Zone
Atlas for the general area of this project is provided below:

4.1.1 Slope Stability Analysis
The Simplified Bishop Method, utilizing `STABLE' software, was used to analyze the
static stability of the site slopes. Seismic conditions were estimated utilizing worst case
scenario values from the static analysis, a quasi-static analysis coefficient of at least 0.15,
and applying the applicable values to STABLE software. Various radii's and center
points of the circle were automatically selected, and produced factor of safeties in a
graphical and tabular format. Worst case scenario values were used in the slope stability
analysis in regards to topography, surcharges, water content, internal friction and
cohesion of the site soils. STABLE software has been repeatedly checked with manual
calculations, and consistently proved to be a very conservative program. The following
soil properties were used in the analysis, and are based on observed conditions, known
geology, and/or published parameters:
Upper 5 feet soil depth
Soil unit weight: 120 pcf
Angle of internal friction: 30 degrees
Cohesion: 200 psf
For this project, at the location of the proposed development, minimum factor of safeties
for static and dynamic conditions were estimated to be 1.6 and 1.1, respectively. See the
slope stability information in Appendix C for a depiction of input parameters and
example of outputs.
4.2 Erosion
Based on the USCS description of the project soils, the surface soils are considered moderately
erodible. According to the Resource Map from the Washington State DNR, as provided above,
the project is not within terrain labeled `highly erodible.' This Project is within an erosion hazard
area as defined by the MCRO. Erosion hazard areas are those with USDA SCS designations of
River Wash (Ra), Coastal Beaches (Cg), Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam on slopes 15% or
greater (Ac and Ad), Cloquallum Silt Loam on slopes 15% or greater (Cd), Harstine Gravelly
Sandy Loam on slopes 15%or greater(14b), and Kitsap Silt Loam on slopes 15%or greater(Kc).
It is our opinion that minor erosion control recommendations provided in this report is sufficient
for the development of this project, and additional engineered erosion control plans are not
required. Temporary and pernianent erosion control measures are required for site development.
Extents of temporary erosion control will mostly depend on the timeliness of construction,
moisture content of the soil, and amount of rainfall during construction. Soil erosion typical to the
existing site conditions and planned disturbance of the project include wind-borne silts during dry
weather, and sediment transport during prolonged wet weather. Sediment transport could be from
stormwater runoff or tracking off-site with construction equipment.
The Temporary and Permanent Erosion Control Section (Section 5.6) of this report consist of
specific erosion controls to be implemented. Additional erosion control information and
specifications may be found in the latest addition of the "Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington," prepared by the Washington State Department of Ecology Water Quality
Program.

4.2.1 Shoreline Recession
Due to the close proximity of a shoreline, an evaluation of the shoreline recession rate for
this Project was completed. The future shoreline regression will be zero on the subject
property with ordinary care and maintenance of the existing bulkhead.
4.3 Seismic Considerations and Liquefaction
There are no known faults beneath this project. The nearest Class `A' or Class `B' fault to this
property is the Tacoma Fault Zone, in which is less than 2 miles to the south of this project. This
information is based on the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database for the United States.
Potential landslides due to seismic hazards have been considered, and are addressed in the Slope
Stability.Analysis Section provided earlier in this report.
Soils immediately below the expected foundation depth for this project are generally Type D,
corresponding to the International Building Code (IBC) soil profiles. According to the IBC, the
regional seismic zone is 3 for this project. The estimated peak ground acceleration ranges from
0.50g to 0.60g. This estimation is based on the United States Geological Survey(USGS)National
Seismic Hazard project in which there is an estimated 2% probability of exceedance within the
next 50 years.
4.3.1 Liquefaction
The potential for liquefaction is believed to be low for this project. This is based, in part,
on the subsurface conditions such as soil characteristics and the lack of a permanent
shallow water table. Subgrade characteristics that particularly contribute to problems
caused from liquefaction include submerged, confined, poorly-graded granular soils (i.e.
gravel, sand, silt). Although gravel-and silt-sized soil particles could be problematic, fine
and medium grained sands are typically subjected to these types of seismic hazards. No
significant saturated sand stratifications are anticipated to be within the upper 50 feet of
the subsoil for this project.
4.4 Landslide,Erosion and Seismic Hazards Conclusions
DNR did indicate historic landslide activity near the project. Mapped slope conditions, as
delineated by the Departments of Ecology and/ or Natural Resources, were considered in our
slope stability assessment. Based on the proximity and severity of mapped delineations with
respect to the proposed development, results of the aforesaid slope stability analysis, observed
surface conditions, and other pertinent information, it is our opinion that the proposed
development may occur in accordance with the recommendations in this geotechnical report.
4.5 Lateral Earth Pressures
Retaining walls may be utilized for this Project. The lateral earth pressures exerted through the
backfill of a retaining wall are dependent upon several factors including height of retained soil
behind the wall, type of soil that is retained, degree of backfill compaction, slope of backfill,
surcharges, hydrostatic pressures, earthquake pressures, and the direction and distance that the top

Ph. 360-275-9374 October 15.2018
of the wall moves. A structural or geotechnical professional should design retaining walls based
on specific conditions.
Soil parameters for the structural design of retaining walls may be estimated as 134 pounds per
cubic foot (pcf) and 130 pcf for engineered fill and native soils, respectively. The angle of
internal friction may be estimated as 36 degrees and 20 degrees for engineered fill and native
soils, respectively. These soil parameters are based on soil type and placement conforming to the
Earthwork Construction Recommendations Section in this report.
4.6 On-Site and Off-Site Impacts
From a geotechnical position, it is Envirotech's opinion that the subject property and adjacent
properties to the proposed development should not be significantly impacted if all
recommendations in this report are followed. This opinion is based on the expected site
development, existing topography, existing nearby development, land cover, and adhering to the
recommendations presented in this report. Future development or land disturbing activities on
neighboring properties or properties beyond adjacent parcels that are upslope and/or downslope
from the subject property could cause problems to the subject property. For this reason, future
development or land disturbance near the subject property should be evaluated by a geotechnical
engineer.

5.0 ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
The following sections present engineering recommendations for the proposed improvements of
the project. These recommendations have been made available based on the planned
improvements as outlined in the Introduction Section of this report; general observations
including drainage and topography as recapitulated in the Surface Conditions Section; soil/
geologic conditions that were identified from the geotechnical investigation that is summarized in
the Subsurface Investigation Section; and, project research, analyses and conclusions as
determined in the Engineering Analysis and Conclusions Section. Recommendations for the
project that is provided herein, includes pertinent information for building foundations,earthwork
construction, building and/ or footing setbacks, drainage, vegetation considerations, and erosion
control.
5.1 Building Foundation Recommendations
Recommendations provided in this section account for the site development of a typical two-
story, single family residential structure. The recommended allowable bearing capacities and
settlements as presented below, consider the probable type of construction as well as the field
investigation results by implementing practical engineering judgment within published
engineering standards. Evaluations include classifying site soils based on observed field
conditions and soil testing for this project. After deriving conservative relative densities, unit
weights and angles of internal friction of the in-situ soils, the Terzhagi ultimate bearing capacity
equation was utilized for determining foundation width and depth. Foundation parameters
provided herein account for typical structural pressures due to the planned type of development.
A structural analysis is beyond the scope of a geotechnical report, and a structural engineer may
be required to design specific foundations and other structural elements based on the soil
investigation. Stepped foundations are acceptable, if warranted for this project. Continuous,
isolated, or stepped foundations shall be horizontally level between the bottom of the foundation
and the top of the bearing strata. The frost penetration depth is not expected to extend beyond 12
inches below the ground surface for this project under normal circumstances and anticipated
design features.
5.1.1 Bearing Capacity
Existing in-situ soils for this project indicates that the structure can be established on
shallow, continuous or isolated footings. Foundations shall be established on relatively
undisturbed native soil that is competent and unyielding. Alternatively, foundations may
be constructed on selective re-compacted native soil or compacted engineered fill as
described in the Earthwork Construction Recommendations Section of this report.
For a bearing capacity requirement of no more than 1500 psf, a minimum continuous
footing width of 16 inches shall be placed at a minimum of 7 feet below the existing
ground surface atop unyielding soils. For a columnar load of no more than 3 tons, a
circular or square isolated foundation diameter or width shall be at least 30 inches.
Foundation recommendations are made available based on adherence to the remaining
recommendations that are provided in this report. Alterations to the aforementioned
foundation recommendations may be completed upon a site inspection by a geotechnical
engineer after the foundation excavation is completed.

Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County, Washington
Ph. 360-275-9374 October 15. 2018
5.1.2 Settlement
Total and differential settlement that a structure will undergo depends primarily on the
subsurface conditions, type of structure, amount and duration of pressure exerted by the
structure, reduction of pore water pressure, and in some instances, the infiltration of free
moisture. Based on the expected native soil conditions, anticipated development, and
construction abides by the recommendations in this report, the assumed foundation
system may undergo a maximum of 1.0 inch total settlement, and a maximum differential
settlement of 0.75 inch.
5.1.3 Concrete Slabs-on-Grade
Interior slabs, if utilized, should be supported on a minimum of 6 inches of compacted
coarse, granular material (Retained on U.S. Sieve #10 or greater) that is placed over
undisturbed, competent native subgrade or engineered fill per the Earthwork
Recommendations Section below.
The recommendations for interior concrete slabs-on-grade as presented herein are only
relevant for the geotechnical application of this project. Although beyond the scope of
this report, concrete slabs should also be designed for structural integrity and
environmental reliability. This includes vapor barriers or moisture control for mitigating
excessive moisture in the building.
5.2 Earthwork Construction Recommendations
Founding material for building foundations shall consist of undisturbed native soils to the
specified foundation depths. Compacted engineered fill, or selective re-compacted native soils
may be used to the extents provided in this Earthwork Construction Recommendations Section.
The following recommendations include excavations, subgrade preparation, type of fill, and
placement of fill for building foundations.
5.2.1 Excavation
Excavation is recommended to remove any excessive organic content or other deleterious
material, if present, beneath foundations and to achieve appropriate foundation depth.
Additional sub-excavation will be required for this project if the soils below the required
foundation depth are loose, saturated, not as described in this report, or otherwise
incompetent due to inappropriate land disturbing, or excessive water trapped within
foundation excavations prior to foundation construction. All soils below the bottom of the
excavation shall be competent, and relatively undisturbed or properly compacted fill. If
these soils are disturbed or deemed incompetent, re-compaction of these soils below the
anticipated footing depth is necessary. Excavations shall be completely dewatered,
compacted, and suitable before placement of additional native soil, engineered fill or
structural concrete.
5.2.2 Placement and Compaction of Native Soils and Engineered Fill
For engineered fill or disturbed native soils that will be utilized as fill material directly
beneath foundations, observation and/ or geotechnical testing is required prior to

foundation construction. The following placement and compaction requirements are
necessary.
For disturbed native soils or engineered fill beneath foundations, limits of compacted or
re-compacted fill shall extend laterally from the bottom edge of the foundation at a rate of
one horizontal foot for each foot of compacted or re-compacted fill depth beneath the
foundation. See the illustration below.

11 UNDISTURBED SUBGRAIP
Both engineered fill and native soils used as compacted fill should be free of roots and
other organics, rocks over 6 inches in size, or any other deleterious matter. Because of
moisture sensitivity, importing and compacting engineered fill may be more economical
than compacting disturbed native soils. Engineered fill shall include having the soils
retained on the No. 4 sieve crushed (angular), and should consist of the following
gradation:

6" 100
3" 60— 100
No. 4 20—60
No.200 0- 8
Table 1
Partical Size Distribution of Engineered Fill
Compaction shall be achieved in compacted lifts not to exceed 6 inches for both native
soils and engineered fill,respectively. Each lift should be uniformly compacted to at least
95% of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) and within 3% of
optimum moisture content. Each lift surface should be adequately maintained during
construction in order to achieve acceptable compaction and inter-lift bonding.
Temporary earth cuts and temporary fill slopes exceeding 4 feet in height should be
limited to a slope of 2:1 (horizontal:vertical). Utility trenches or other confined
excavations exceeding 4 feet should conform to OSHA safety regulations. Permanent cut
and fill slopes shall be limited to a slope of 2:1, unless otherwise approved by an
engineer.
5.23 Retaining Wall Backfill
Native soils may be used as retaining wall backfill for this Project if the total wall height
is 4 feet or less and the recommendations below are followed. Native soils for retaining
walls exceeding 4 feet in height must be approved by the local authority or evaluated by

an engineer. Backfill may consist of engineered fill, as presented in this report, or borrow
material approved by a geotechnical engineer. Compaction of these materials shall be
achieved in compacted lifts of about 12 inches. Each lift should be uniformly compacted
to at least 85%, and no more than 90% of the modified Proctor maximum dry density
(ASTM D 1557). If pavement or building loads are planned to be located within retaining
wall backfill, then 90% compaction is required. In addition, heavy construction
equipment should be at a distance of at least '/2 the wall height. Over-compaction and
limiting heavy construction equipment should be prevented to minimize the risk of excess
lateral earth pressure on the retaining structure. Envirotech recommends that retaining
wall backfill is compacted with light equipment such as a hand-held power tamper. If
clean, coarse gravel soils are utilized as engineered fill, and surcharges will not influence
the retaining wall, compaction may be achieved by reasonably densifying granular soils
with construction equipment.
5.2.4 Wet Weather Considerations
It is strongly suggested to complete excavations for this project during the dry months.
Due to the types of subsurface soils, additional provisions may be required during
prolonged wet weather. Every precaution should be made in order to prevent free
moisture from saturating the soils within excavations. If the bottom of excavations used
for footing placement changes from a moist and dense/hard characteristic as presented in
this report to muck or soft, saturated conditions, then these soils become unsuitable for
foundation bearing material. If this situation occurs, a geotechnical engineer should be
notified, and these soils should be completely removed and replaced with compacted
engineered fill or suitable native material as presented in this section.
5.2.5 Building Pads
Building pads consisting of built-up fill should be avoided for this project
53 Building and Footing Setbacks
Natural slopes exceeding 40% are not located near the project. However,the proposed house will
be a minimum of 35 feet from the high water elevation, and this distance is considered in our
geotechnical design in order to mitigate the home near the existing retaining walls atop
potentially clay soils.
5.4 Surface and Subsurface Drainage
Positive drainage should be provided in the final design for all planned residential buildings.
Drainage shall include sloping the ground surface, driveways and sidewalks away from the
project structures. All constructed surface and subsurface drains should be adequately maintained
during the life of the structure. If drainage problems occur during or after construction, additional
engineered water mitigation will be required immediately. This may include a combination of
swales, berms, drain pipes, infiltration facilities, or outlet protection in order to divert water away
from the structures to an appropriate protected discharge area. Leakage of water pipes, both
drainage and supply lines, shall be prevented at all times.

Belfair, Washington 98528 Mason Countv. Washington
Ph. 360-275-9374 October 15,2018
If impen�ious thresholds are exceeded per Mason County code, then engineered stormwater
management plans are required for this project. The drainage engineer must coordinate with a
geotechnical engineer for input with relation to slope stability prior to submitting drainage plans.
If stormwater management plans are not required for this project, then the following
recommendations should be followed.
Both footing perimeter drains and roof drains are required for this project. Subsurface water
intercepted in the footing perimeter drains, and stormwater collected from roof drains shall be
separately tight-lined to the recommended outlet. Roof and foundation drains may share a
tightline if an above ground drainage outlet is allowable and a backflow preventer is installed
within the pipe system in order to prevent roof water from entering the foundation area.
For this project, we recommend that an above ground outlet is located beyond the toe of the
nearby descending slope. An energy dissipater is required at the outlet. Recommended drainage
details are provided in Appendix E of this report.
5.5 Vegetation Buffer and Considerations
For this project, we believe that a detailed clearing and grading plan is not warranted unless
Mason County thresholds are exceeded, and basic vegetation management practices should be
adhered to.
Vegetation Buffer—Since the slopes are deemed locally stable, and grades are naturally less than
40%, a vegetation buffer is not required for geotechnical purposes. However, environmental
ordinances shall be followed per Mason County.
5.6 Temporary and Permanent Erosion Control
Erosion control during construction should include minimizing the removal of vegetation to the
least extent possible. Erosion control measures during construction may include stockpiling
cleared vegetation, silt fencing, intercepting swales, berms, straw bales, plastic cover or other
standard controls. Although other controls may be used, if adequate, silt fencing is presented in
this report as the first choice for temporary erosion control. Any erosion control should be located
down-slope and beyond the limits of construction and clearing of vegetation where surface water
is expected to flow. If the loss of sediments appears to be greater than expected, or erosion
control measures are not functioning as needed, additional measures must be implemented
immediately. See Appendix D for sketches and general notes regarding selected erosion control
measures. The Site Plan in Appendix A depicts the recommended locations for erosion control
facilities to be installed as necessary.
Permanent erosion control may also be necessary if substantial vegetation has not been
established within disturbed areas upon completion of the project. Temporary erosion control
should remain in place until permanent erosion control has been established. Permanent erosion
control may include promoting the growth of vegetation within the exposed areas by mulching,
seeding or an equivalent measure. Selected recommendations for permanent erosion control are
provided in Appendix D. Additional erosion control measures that should be performed include
routine maintenance and replacement, when necessary, of permanent erosion control, vegetation,
drainage structures and/or features.

The approximate location of the septic drainfield is presented on the Site Plan in Appendix A of
this report. Based on the septic drainfield location with relation to the existing and proposed
topography, the drainfields are not expected to adversely influence critical slopes. This is also
based on compliance with all recommendations in this report.
5.8 Structural Mitigation
With respect to landslide alleviation or slope improvements, structural mitigation is necessary for
this project.This includes a 7-foot deep foundation for the proposed house.

6.0 CLOSURE
Based on the project information provided by the owner, the proposed development, and site
conditions as presented in this report, it is Envirotech's opinion that additional geotechnical
studies are not required to further evaluate this project.
Due to the inherent natural variations of the soil stratification and the nature of the geotechnical
subsurface exploration, there is always a possibility that soil conditions encountered during
construction are different than those described in this report. It is not recommended that a
qualified engineer performs a site inspection during earthwork construction unless fill soils will
influence the impending foundation. However, if native, undisturbed subsurface conditions found
on-site are not as presented in this report,then a geotechnical engineer should be consulted.
This report presents geotechnical design guidelines, and is intended only for the owner, or
owners' representative, and location of project described herein. This report should not be used to
dictate construction procedures or relieve the contractor of his responsibility.
Any and all content of this geotechnical report is only valid in conjunction with the compliance of
all recommendations provided in this report. Semantics throughout this report such as `shall,'
`should' and `recommended' imply that the correlating design and/or specifications must be
adhered to in order to potentially protect life and/ or property. Semantics such as `suggested' or
`optional' refer that the associated design or specification may or may not be performed, but is
provided for optimal performance. The recommendations provided in this report are valid for the
proposed development at the issuance date of this report. Changes to the site other than the
expected development, changes to neighboring properties, changes to ordinances or regulatory
codes, or broadening of accepted geotechnical standards may affect the long-term conclusions
and recommendations of this report.
The services described in this report were prepared under the responsible charge of Michael
Staten, a professional engineer with Envirotech. Michael Staten has appropriate education and
experience in the field of geotechnical engineering in order to assess landslide hazards,
