1.0 INTRODUCTION
Envirotech Engineering (Envirotech) has completed this geological assessment for a residential
property located along E Haller Ave., identified as parcel number 32232 50 80029 in Mason
County, Washington (Project). As presented herein, this assessment 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 soils descriptions in the
Subsurface Investigation Section; and, assessments for landslides, erosion, seismic hazards, and
other considerations in the Conclusions Section.
An initial geological/ geotechnical evaluation of the Project was conducted by Envirotech with
the property owner on April 10, 2012. It was determined that natural slopes between 15% and
40% were present within 300 feet of the Project. Due to these slope grades, a geological
assessment is required pursuant to landslide hazard areas of the Mason County Resource
Ordinance(MCRO).
During the evaluation and site visit by Envirotech, surface and subsurface conditions were
assessed in order to determine if further geotechnical studies are required. After completion of the
field work and applicable Project research, Envirotech prepared this geological assessment.
1.1 Project Information
Information pertaining to the Project was provided by the property owner, and observations from
a field visit by Envirotech. The property is accessed from E Haller Ave., a paved roadway in
Union,Washington. The property consists of an existing driveway, with a single family dwelling
and on-site septic features on the neighboring parcel (32232-50-80001). The proposed
development is expected to consist of a new garage. Approximate site development with relation
to existing site features are illustrated in the Site Map in Appendix A.
1.2 Purpose of Investigation and Scope of Work
The purpose of this geological assessment was to evaluate the Project in order to confirm that the
proposed development is outside of any landslide hazard area and its associated buffers and
setbacks as determined in the MCRO. The investigation included characterizing the general
Project surface and subsurface conditions,and evaluating the suitability of the soils to support the
planned site development. In order to fulfill the purpose of investigation, the geological/
geotechnical program completed for the proposed improvements of the Project include:
• Review project information provided by the Project owner's representative;
• Conduct a site visit to document the site conditions that may influence the construction
and performance of the proposed improvements;
• Define general subsurface conditions of the site by observing soils within test pit
excavations, review well logs from existing wells near the Project, and evaluate
geological maps depicting the site geology for the vicinity of the Project;
• Perform soils testing, such as visual classifications,to determine selected index properties
of the soils;
• Complete an engineering assessment supported by planned site alterations and the surface
and subsurface conditions that were identified by the field investigation, soil testing, and
applicable Project research; and,

2.0 SURFACE CONDITIONS
Information pertaining to the existing surface conditions for the Project was gathered on April 10,
2012 by Michael Staten,geotechnical engineer with Envirotech. During the site visit, site features
were documented that may influence construction or reveal potential geological hazards. This
Surface Conditions Section provides information on general observations, vegetation,
topography,drainage and slope/erosion conditions for the Project and surrounding areas.
2.1 General Observations
The Project is currently developed land as previously mentioned, and surrounded by semi-rural
residential development. Vegetation on and near the property consists primarily of 2nd growth firs,
cedars, pines, 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 Project is situated within and near moderate terrain. 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 Map in Appendix A for an illustration
of the general slope indicators with respect to the planned development.
Descending slopes exceeding 15%are located to the northeast of the development. This slope is
approximately 24%with a vertical relief of approximately 50 feet.
2.2.1 Upslope Geomorphology and Upland Water Bodies
Ascending slopes exceeding 15%are located near the planned development. This slope is
approximately 19%to 24%with a vertical relief of approximately 20 feet. The property
is on a moderate sloping hillside of glacial origin. Additional geomorphology that is
pertinent to both upslope and downslope areas are provided in the Subsurface
Investigation Section of this report.
There are no apparent water bodies or wetlands located upslope from the planned
development that would significantly influence the Project.
2.3 Surface Drainage
The majority of the stormwater runoff originating upslope from the anticipated development is
expected to be minimal to moderate. Significant scour, erosion and sediment transport was not
apparent near the development. There is a seasonal stream convergence to the east of the project
that appears to contain surface runoff from affecting the development.
2.4 Slope and Erosion Observations
The existing moderate slopes near the Project do not 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 or naturally 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.
The above mentioned indicators, or other signs of significant mass wasting on the property or
within the general vicinity of the Project, 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 gathered during research and a
site reconnaissance. The site visit was accomplished on April 10, 2012 by Michael Staten,
geotechnical engineer with Envirotech. Specific information on field methods, sampling, field
testing, subsurface conditions, and results from soil testing are presented in this section of the
report. Appendix B has pertinent information on subsurface conditions for the Project, including
test pit log(s) representative of the site soils, and water well report(s)originating from the subject
property and/or nearby properties.
3.1 Field Methods,Sampling and Field Testing
Information on subsurface conditions for the Project was accomplished by observing soils within
test pit excavations of up to approximately 4 feet below the natural ground surface. Information
on subsurface conditions also included reviewing geological maps within the Project vicinity, and
water well reports originating from nearby properties. No soil samples were collected for this
Project.
Envirotech measured the relative density of the in-situ soils by gauging the resistance of hand
tools. Field testing results generally indicated medium dense soils in the upper 24 inches, and
very dense soils from 24 inches below the ground surface to the depth of terminus.
3.2 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.

(USCS). Using the USCS in conjunction with estimated relative densities and other anticipated
engineering properties of the soil, susceptibility for potential landslides, erosion and seismic
hazards may be assessed.
The Project is composed of native soils beneath an organic/ soil mixture of about 2 to 8 inches.
Competent bearing soils were encountered at 12 inches below the ground surface. For
engineering purposes,these native soils consist of distinguishable layers,as presented below.
Soils within the upper 4 feet of natural ground were observed to be moist,brown silty gravel with
sand(GM).
Soils below the upper 4 feet layer are believed to be very dense gravelly soils(hardpan)to depths
of at least 20 feet. This is based on nearby well reports, site geology, and/ or knowledge of the
general area.
The relative densities of the soil are provided above in Section 3.1. Expanded and specific
subsurface descriptions, other than what is provided in this section, are provided in the soil logs
located in Appendix B of this report.
According to the "Soil Survey of Mason County," by the United States Department of
Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS), the upland site soils are described as Alderwood
gravelly sandy loam (Ad), with 5%- 15%slopes, and Alderwood gravelly sandy loam(Ac)with
15%-30%slopes. See the SCS soil profiles in Appendix B of this report.
3.3.1 Groundwater
From the water well report(s)and knowledge of the general area,permanent groundwater
is over 100 feet directly below the property at the building pad location. Seepage or
perched groundwater at shallow depths was not observed on-site, nor indicated on the
well reports.

4.0 ENGINEERING CONCLUSIONS
The following sections present engineering assessments and conclusions concerning the Project.
These conclusions have been made available based on the planned construction activities as
outlined in the Introduction Section of this report; general observations of drainage and
topography as summarized in the Surface Conditions Section; and, soil conditions that were
identified by the field investigation and soils testing as outlined in the Subsurface Investigation
Section. Conclusions for the Project that is provided herein, includes pertinent information for
landslide, erosion and seismic hazards.
4.1 Landslide Hazards
For the planned development, as provided in the Introduction Section, surface and subsurface
conditions as presented in this report, it is Envirotech's opinion that the proposed development is
not subjected to or cause adverse impacts to a landslide hazard area or its associated buffer or
setback as defined in the MCRO.
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. 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, excessive and/or repeated surficial slope
movements, if not repaired, may represent a threat to the structural integrity of the slope.
Maintenance of the slope should be completed if the situation does arise in order to prevent the
possibility of further surficial or deep seated slope movements that may be damaging to life or
property.
According to the Coastal Zone Atlas of Mason County, Washington, the Project is within and
near terrain labeled `Stable' and `Intermediate' regarding potential landslide activity. Stable
slopes are generally not prone to landslides due to small grades and accommodating geology.
Historically, intermediate terrains have no known landslides. A site specific analyses and
conclusions concerning the slopes are presented herein. A Stability Map from the Coastal Zone
Atlas for the general area of this Project may be found below.

Project
Map from Washington State Department of Ecology Website
According to the Resource Map from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources
(DNR), the Project is not within terrain labeled `highly unstable' or `highly erodible' relating to
soils. In addition, DNR did not indicate previous landslide activity near the Project. This
delineation is primarily dependent upon slopes and convergence. Secondly, lithology and
precipitation are modeled within this delineation. In summary, this designation is based on
mapping without field observations or knowledge of the specific site geology or soils. A resource
map from DNR is provided below:

4.1.1 Landslides and Slope Stability Analysis
Past landslide activity near the proposed development was not revealed during the Project
research. In addition, detrimental landslide activity or potential high landslide indicators
were not observed during the site visit as outlined in the Surface Conditions Section of
this report. Therefore, a slope stability analysis was not deemed necessary for this
Project. Considering the planned construction as summarized in the Introduction Section
of this report; surface and subsurface conditions for the Project; and, the slope stability
assessment provided herein, it is our opinion that the proposed site alterations will not
encourage a landslide hazard.
4.1.2 Surface and Subsurface Drainage
This project does not appear to experience significant subsurface drainage or surface
runoff. It is our opinion that groundwater or surface drainage is not a limiting factor for
this Project.
4.2 Erosion Hazards
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 near 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 Sift Loam on slopes 15% or greater (Cd), Harstine Gravelly
Sandy Loam on slopes 15%or greater(Hb), and Kitsap Silt Loam on slopes 15%or greater(Kc).
Development will occur away from Ac soils within areas where slopes are less than 15%. Due to
this and the absence of other erosion hazards, development should not require a separate
engineered erosion control plan.
Temporary and/ or permanent erosion control measures are required for any site when land
disturbance is involved. 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 conditions and planned disturbance of this Project include wind-borne silts during dry
weather, and sediment transport during prolonged wet weather. Sediment transport of disturbed
soils could be from stormwater runoff or tracking off-site with construction equipment. Although
an engineered erosion control plan is not warranted for this project, Best Management Practices
(BMP's) should be employed during and after construction. Ordinary BMP's includes silt
fencing,protection of drainage outlets and vegetating denuded areas.
Erosion control information and specifications may be found in the applicable "Stormwater
Management Manual for Western Washington,"prepared by the Washington State Department of
Ecology Water Quality Program.
4.3 Seismic Hazards
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
Envirotech Engineering Lincoln Geological Assessment

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.
There are no known faults beneath this Project. The nearest Class `A' or 'B' fault to this property
is the Hood Canal fault zone.This fault is a Class `B` and is located less than 5 miles to the north
west of the Project, and the Tacoma Fault Zone which is located approximately 10 miles to the
east. This information is supported by the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database for the
United States.
The potential for liquefaction and other earthquake induced hazards are believed to be low for
this Project. This is based on subsurface conditions such as soil characteristics and the lack of a
permanent and substantial shallow water table. Subgrade characteristics that particularly
contribute to problems caused by seismic events include submerged and confined, poorly-graded
granular soils. Although gravel- and silt-sized soil particles could be problematic, fine and
medium grained sands are typically subjected to these types of seismic hazards.
4.4 Other Considerations
Conclusions in this report are based on the type and location of the anticipated development, and
existing surface and subsurface conditions. Site development that significantly deviates from the
anticipated improvements presented in this report may require geotechnical design
recommendations.

5.0 CLOSURE
Based on the project information 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. Therefore, it is recommended that a
qualified engineer observes and documents the construction, or Envirotech is promptly notified if
project and subsurface conditions found on-site are not as presented in this report so that we can
re-evaluate our recommendations.
This report presents a geological/geotechnical assessment, and is intended only for the owner,or
owners' representative. Furthermore, this report is only valid for the project information and
location described herein.
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,
earthquake hazards,and general soil mechanics.
