Appendix C-Slope Stability Appendix D—Erosion Control 1.0 INTRODUCTION Envirotech Engineering (Envirotech) has completed a geotechnical investigation for a planned single family residence located at I I I E Warren Drive, identified as parcel number 32232-55- 00026, Union, Mason County, Washington. See the vicinity map on the following page for a general depiction of the site location. The geotechnical investigation was conducted at the request of the proponent of the property, Gerald Goodwin, in support of the proposed development as detailed below. The proposed development,as provided herein,and the surrounding area that may influence the development,is identified throughout this report as the Project. An initial geotechnical evaluation of the Project was conducted by Envirotech on August 31, 2015. 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) 17.01.100. 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 foundation, settlement, earthwork construction, retaining walls, erosion control, drainage, and vegetation in the Engineering Recommendations Section. 1.1 Project Information Information pertaining to the planned development of the Project was provided by the proponent of the property during the geotechnical investigation. Other Project information was obtained by Envirotech. There is no current development on the property. The planned development consists of a 1- or 2-story single family residence, new on-site septic system, and other ancillary features typical of this type of development. Approximate building footprint and other proposed features with relation to existing site conditions are illustrated on the Site Map provided in Appendix A of this report. 11 Purpose of Investigation and Scope of Work The purpose of this geotechnical investigation is to assess geological hazards, and evaluate the Project in order to provide geotechnical recommendations that should be implemented during development.

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 The property is accessed from Warren Drive,an existing paved roadway. The Project is currently undeveloped land as previously mentioned. The access road extends near the north property line, and Hood Canal borders the property to the south. Beyond the property, rural residential development exists. Vegetation on and near the Project consists primarily of secondary growth firs and shrubbery common to this area of the Pacific Northwest. Vegetation has been mostly cleared, and approximately 2 feet of fill material is located to the east of the planned development. There was no fill material obseved at the project footprint. 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%, approximately 166 feet to the southeast of the planned development. The maximum critical slope is approximately 64% with a vertical relief of approximately 118 feet. Ascending grades are generally located to the west of the planned development. These slopes are relatively minor within 300 feet of the Project,with no apparent slope grades of at least 10%. 2.2.1 Upslope Geomorphology The upland area of the property and beyond is generally situated on a crest of glacial origin. 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.

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. These slope instability indicators or other 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.

Specific 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 extending to depths of up to 6 feet below the existing 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 24 inches, and very dense soils from 24 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.

Within test pit locations,soils within the upper 2 feet of natural ground were observed to be fill. Soils located below 2 feet of natural ground to a depth of 4 feet were observed to be moist, brown silty sand with gravel(SM). Soils below the upper 4 feet layer to a depth of terminous were observed to be mostly grey, low moisture, silty sand with gravel (SM), locally known as hardpan. The hardpan may extend to depths approximately 48 feet. This is based on nearby well reports, site geology, and/or knowledge of the general area. The relative densities of the soil within selected test pits 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,the site soils are described as Alderwood Gravelly Loam, Aa,0% - 5% slopes, and Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam, A,,, with 15% - 30% slopes. The soil designations are depicted in the aerial photograph below, and descriptions are provided in Appendix B of this report. yob X � I it � 4 ,.. <.

This section includes slope stability, erosion, seismic considerations, lateral earth pressures, 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, excessive and/or repeated surficial slope movements, if not repaired, may represent a threat to the structural integrity of the slope. If this situation does arise, the slope shall be inspected by a geotechnical 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 `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. However, this site is considered inherently hazardous due the existing geology and/ or topography, and additional analyses and recommendations concerning the slopes are presented herein. A Stability Map from the Coastal Zone Atlas for the general area of this Project is provided below: Envirotech Engineering i 11 E Warren Drive PO Box 984 page 8 Parcel 32232-55-00026 Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington Ph. 360-275-9374 September 18,2015 V 5 sxao 1.24.OW 5r Project ■r - 5 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' relating to soils. DNR labeled portions of this project as medium and high slope instability with relation to slopes. 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.

However, the Simplified Bishop Method (circular analysis), as presented herein, was utilized. Although the method of circles does not fit the site conditions, Envirotech certifies that our analysis is more conservative for these project conditions than other conforming slope stability models. For this Project and level of geotechnical investigation, our conclusions or recommendations would not be changed by this variation in analysis.Where applicable,our slope stability analysis utilizes the subsurface angle of repose. 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 0.1, 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 4 feet soil depth Soil unit weight: 130 pcf Angle of internal friction: 34 degrees Cohesion: 40 psf Soils below 4 feet in depth Soil unit weight: 140 pcf Angle of internal friction: 40 degrees Cohesion: 400 psf Based on the slope stability analysis, minimum factors of safety were determined to be less than 1.5 relative to static slope failures, and less than 1.1 with relation to seismic conditions. These factors of safety were primarily limited to the face of the slope, and do not reflect conditions where development is expected to occur. For this Project, at the location of the proposed development,minimum factor of safeties for static and dynamic conditions were estimated to be 2.5 and 1.9, 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 Envirotech Engineering 111 E Warren Drive PO Box 984 page 11 Parcel 32232-55-00026 Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington Ph. 360-275-9374 September 18,2015 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(Hb),and Kitsap Silt Loam on slopes 15%or greater(Kc). Temporary and permanent 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 contain specific erosion control options recommended for this Project. Additional erosion control measures than what is initially established may need to be employed if excessive erosion occurs during construction, or required by the prevailing agency. Complete 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. 4.3 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 Hood Canal Fault Zone, in which is approximately 3 miles to the northwest 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. 43.1 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.

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 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 of the wall moves. Significant retaining structures are not anticipated for this Project. If retaining walls are later planned for this Project, prescriptive requirements from the County should be adhered to. For retaining structures with a height exceeding County prescriptive requirements, additional design parameters must be accounted for in the retaining wall analysis, and recommendations should only be provided by a qualified engineer after the type of backfill is acquired, inclination of backfill slope is estimated, and the final wall height is determined. 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.

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 one- or 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. 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. Foundations should not bear on existing on-site fill. For a bearing capacity requirement of no more than 1500 psf, a minimum continuous footing width of 12 inches(15 inches for 2 story buildings)shall be placed at a minimum of 12 inches below the existing ground surface. For a columnar load of no more than 3 tons,a circular or square isolated foundation diameter or width shall be at least 24 inches. Foundation recommendations are made available based on adherence to the remaining recommendations that are provided in this report. Alterations to the aforementioned Envirotech Engineering 111 E Warren Drive PO Box 984 page 14 Parcel 32232-55-00026 Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington Ph. 360-275-9374 September 18,2015 foundation recommendations may be completed upon a site inspection by a geotechnical engineer after the foundation excavation is completed. 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. 5.13 Concrete Slabs-on-Grade Interior slabs, if utilized, should be supported on a minimum of 4 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. Envirotech Engineering 111 E Warren Drive PO Box 984 page 15 Parcel 32232-55-00026 Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington Ph. 360-275-9374 September 18,2015 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. &FOOTINGC❑MPACTEDNATIVE S❑ILS❑R ENGINEEREDFILL 1 1-1 UNDISTURBED SUBGRADE� 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: U.S. Standard Sieve % Finer(by weight) 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 90% 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.

However, if used, native soils may be used as retaining wall backfill for this Project. Backfill may also consist of engineered fill or borrow materials approved by a geotechnical engineer. Placement, compaction and extents of retaining wall backfill should also be specified by a geotechnical engineer or qualified professional. 5.2.4 Wet Weather Considerations Although the subsoil characteristics do not pose a great risk in regards to saturation, additional provisions may be required during prolonged wet weather. Every precaution should be made in order to prevent free moisture from saturating and ponding within excavations. If the bottom of excavations used for footing placement changes from a moist and dense characteristic as presented in this report to loose, saturated conditions, then these soils become unsuitable for foundation bearing material. If this situation occurs, a geotechnical engineer should be notified, or these soils should be completely removed and replaced with suitable compacted material as presented above. 5.3 Building and Footing Setbacks Provided that assumptions relating to construction occur and recommendations are followed as presented in this report, the factor of safety for slope stability is sufficient for a 65 feet footing setback from the face of the nearby descending slopes exceeding 40%. See the figure below and the Site Plan in Appendix A for an illustration of the setbacks. STRUCTURE TOP OF SLOPE SLOPE FACE _ I I—I I ' �— — SETBACK —� FOOTING From the illustration above, structures may be located closer to the top of slope by extending the foundation deep enough to maintain the recommended setback. In addition, the required setback may be reduced by mitigation,and subsequently would require additional geotechnical studies. 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 Envirotech Engineering I I I E Warren Drive PO Box 984 page 17 Parcel 32232-55-00026 Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington Ph. 360-275-9374 September 18,2015 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. If impervious 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 roof infiltration is dispersed using either splash blocks or a trench located at least 10 feet downslope from the proposed house, conforming to the Mason County Small Parcel Stormwater Plan. One splash block is needed per 700 sq. ft. of roof. Recommended dispersion locations are delineated on the Site Plan in Appendix A. 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 is an excellent measure to minimize surficial slope movements and erosion on slope faces and exposed surfaces. By removing trees, the root strength is decreased over time, thereby lowering the `apparent' cohesion of the soil. Transpiration is decreased, which results in additional groundwater, increased pore water pressure and less cohesion/ friction of the soil particles. Stormwater runoff also increases, and, fewer plants will create less absorption of the force from raindrops,thereby creating the potential for erosion hazards. Vegetation Buffer—Vegetation shall not be removed from the face of the critical slope or within a distance of 50 feet beyond the top of the slope. However, any tree deemed hazardous to life or property shall be removed. If tree removal is necessary, then stumps and roots shall remain in place, and the underbrush and soil shall remain undisturbed as much as possible. Any disturbed soil shall be graded and re-compacted in order to restore the terrain similar to preexisting conditions and drainage patterns. See the Site Plan in Appendix A of this report for a depiction of the vegetation buffer. 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 Envirotech Engineering 111 E Warren Drive PO Box 984 page 18 Parcel 32232-55-00026 Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington Ph. 360-275-9374 September 18,2015 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 Map in Appendix A depicts the recommended locations for erosion control facilities to be installed,if 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 following Surface and Subsurface Drainage Section may have additional recommendations with relation to permanent erosion for surface drainage features. 5.7 Septic Drainfields 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 not necessary for this project. This determination is based on the anticipated improvements of the project, engineering conclusions,and compliance with all recommendations provided in this report.

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.
