Mr. Wright:
As per your request, we have conducted a soils exploration, foundation evaluation, and slope stability analysis for
the above-mentioned parcel. The results of this investigation,together with our recommendations, are to be found
in the following report. We have provided three copies for your review and distribution.
Subsurface samples were submitted for laboratory testing from the project site (H-1). The data have been
carefully analyzed to determine soils bearing capacities and footing embedment depths. The results of the
exploration and analysis indicate that conventional spread and continuous wall footings appear to be the most
suitable type of foundation for the support of the proposed structure. Some variability was encountered in
comparing the soil profiles of the site. Net allowable soil pressures, embedment depth, and total expected
settlements have been presented for the site later in the report.
We are also a full service laboratory that can meet all your building, testing (compaction, asphalt, concrete), and
inspection needs. We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you and we look forward to working with you
in the future. If you have any questions concerning the above items, the procedures used, or if we can be of any
further assistance please call us at the phone number listed below.

INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the results of our geotechnical consulting services for the proposed residential building for
Mr. Gary Wright. .The site is approximately 2.0 mile east of Union, Washington and is accessed off East Olympic
Vista Drive from State Route 106. The GPS location of the site is shown relative to the surrounding area on the
Vicini Ma Fi ure 1 at the end of this re ort .

Our understanding of the project is based on our discussions with the client and Mason County. We understand
that the parcel is to be developed with a single residence unit. In general, grading will consist only of the
excavation of the foundation, footings, and utilities. The septic drainfield is proposed and the.location has been
depicted in the site plan attached with this report. The approximate layout of the site is shown on the Site Plan,
Figure 2.
The purpose of our services is to evaluate the surface and subsurface conditions at the site as a basis for providing
geotechnical recommendations and design criteria for the project and to satisfy the requirements of the Mason
County Critical Areas Ordinance. Geotechnical Testing Laboratory, Inc. is therefore providing geologic and
hydrogeologic services for the project. Specifically,our scope of services for this project includes the following:
1. A review of the available geologic, hydrogeological and geotechnical data for the site area.
2. A geologic reconnaissance of the site area and surrounding vicinity.
3. Drilling and sampling.
4. Comparison of site to published geologic maps, previous field investigations, and open file
reports. Inspection of aerial photographs to determine the geomorphology of the site.
5. Laboratory grain size and shear angle analysis for the soil samples collected from the site.
6. Evaluation of the landslide, erosion, and seismic hazards at the site per the Mason County
Critical Areas Ordinance regulations(December 27,2006).
7. Building setbacks determined from dynamic slope stability modeling.
8. Geotechnical recommendations for site grading including site preparation, subgrade preparation,
fill placement criteria (including hillside grading), temporary and permanent cut and fill slopes,
drainage and typical erosion control measures(Figure 3).
The steepest slope measured onsite was approximately 20 percent throughout the parcel. The steepest offsite slope
measured within 300 feet of the parcel is approximately 90%. This steep slope is located beyond the western end
of the parcel.

A reconnaissance was held on April 12, 2008, by Curtis D. Cushman and Travis Harshman. The purpose of a site
reconnaissance is to physically observe the property and adjacent properties to identify any recognized geologic
conditions. Photographs and visual observations were documented. Site-specific features were mapped. The site
was drilled on April 16,2008.
The site is predominantly undeveloped and heavily covered with vegetation. The few areas cleared serve as an
access into the property. The locations of the proposed building and the septic drainfield system are located on the
site plan attached with his report. The site has a predominant western exposure. Site elevations range from
approximately 230 to 290 feet. The general topography of the site area indicates that drainage flows toward the
west to northwest. Off the property to the west is an incised depression feature which serves as a channel for
surface runoff during rainfall events. The site plan is included as Figure 2.
No evidence of erosion was detected during our site visit.No surface water flow was observed onsite. No ponding
of water was observed throughout the site. Slumping and sloughing were not observed throughout the site. No
evidence of deep-seated slope instability was observed onsite. No seeps or springs were observed onsite. The
area of potential landslide is heavily vegetated with native trees and shrubs.

The closest water body to the subject site is Hood Canal located approximately 0.46 miles north. No upland water
bodies or wetland features were observed during the site reconnaissance or through the inspection of aerial
photographs.
The maximum slope onsite is approximately 20 percent. However, immediately west to the parcel, the slopes
reach 90%downhill.All slope angles were measured using an inclinometer.
There are no mappable landslides in this area.
There are no upland water bodies affecting the property.

subsurface profile, and which incorporates the details of proposed grade changes.
A cross-section is attached to this report as Figure 4. No further grading is anticipated after the publication of this
report, is therefore not known at this time,and thus cannot be detailed on the cross-section.
GEOLOGICALLY HAZARDOUS AREAS
LANDSLIDE HAZARD CLASSIFICATION
The Mason County Critical Areas Ordinance(17.01.100A1)defines a landslide hazard area as:
The following shall be classified as Landslide Hazard Areas:

Gaon mic A L T iNes so ToRy
a. Areas with any indications of earth movement such as debris slides, earthflows, slumps and rockfalls (see
figure F.100).
b.Areas with artificial oversteepened or unengineered slopes, i.e. cuts or fills.
c.Areas with slopes containing soft or potentially liquefiable soils.
d. Areas oversteepened or otherwise unstable as a result of stream incision, stream bank erosion, and
undercutting by wave action.
e. Slopes greater than 15% (8.5 degrees) and having the following:
i. Hillsides intersecting geologic contacts with a relatively permeable sediment overlying a relatively
impermeable sediment or bedrock(e.g. sand overlying clay); and
ii. Springs or groundwater seepage.
f. Any area with a slope of forty percent or steeper and with a vertical relief of ten or more feet except areas
composed of consolidated rock. A slope is delineated by establishing its toe and top and measured by
averaging the inclination over at least ten feet of vertical relief.
The subject site meets the qualification of a landslide hazard area due to the nearby slope (to the west) that is
greater than 90 percent and more than 10 feet in vertical height(17.01.100A 1 f).
SEISMIC HAZARD CLASSIFICATION
The Mason County Critical Areas Ordinance(17.01.102A)defines a seismic hazard area as:
1. Areas susceptible to ground failure including the following:
a. Areas with mapped geologic faults until proven inactive;
b. Deep road fills and areas of poorly compacted artificial fill;
c. Areas with artificially steepened slopes (i.e. old gravel pits);
d. Postglacial stream, lake or beach sediments;
e. River deltas;
f. Areas designated as potential Landslide Hazard Areas;
g. Bluff areas; and
h. Areas underlain by potentially liquefiable soils
2. The following criteria may be used as a guide by the County to indicate areas that have a higher likelihood of
meeting the classification criteria above:
a. Areas identified on the Coastal Zone Atlas of Washington, Volume 9, Mason County as Af, Qal, Qa2, Qvc,
Qls, Qos and Qp.
b. Areas identified on the Mason County Soil Survey Map as having slopes greater than 15 percent.
c. Faults identified on "Map Showing Known or Suspected Faults With Quaternary Displacement in the
Pacific Northwest", A.M. Rogers, T.J. Walsh, W.J. Kockelman and G.R. Priest, US Geologic Survey, 1996;
or described in "Active Faulting Investigations on the Canyon River Fault, Southern Olympic Range,
Washington", T.J. Walsh and KG. Neal, U.S. Geologic Survey, 1997.
d. Areas underlain by potentially liquefiable soils as shown "Liquefaction Susceptibility Map of Mason
County, Washington"by Stephen P. Palmer, Sammantha L. Magsino, James L. Poelstra, Eric L. Bilderback,
Derek S. Folger, and Rebecca A. Niggemann, September 2004
This site qualifies as a seismic hazard area because the site is categorized as, "l.f. Areas designated as potential
Landslide Hazard Areas."

The purpose of the Erosion Hazard Section (17.01.104A) is to identify areas that present potential dangers to
public health and safety, and to prevent the acceleration of natural geological hazards, and to neutralize the risk to
the property owner from development activities.
Areas in Mason County underlain by soils which are subject to severe erosion when
disturbed. Such soils include, but are not limited to, those for which potential for erosion
is identified in the Soil Survey of Mason County, USDA Soil Conservation Service, 1960,
or any subsequent revisions or additions to this source. These soils include, but are not
limited to, any occurrence of River Wash ("Ra') or Coastal Beaches ("Cg') and the
following when they occur on slopes 15%or steeper:
a. Alderwood gravelly sandy loam ("Ac"and"Ad')
b. Cloquallum silt loam ("Cd')
c. Harstine gravelly sandy loam ("Hb')
d. Kitsap silt loam ("Kc')
The soils at the site are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Ad) 30 to 45%. This site meets the technical
criteria of an erosion hazard area.
SITE GEOLOGY
The site is generally situated within the Puget Sound glacial upland. Multiple glacial advances deposited the
onsite material. The near surface material was deposited during the most recent Vashon stade(stage)of the Fraser
glaciation that occurred between about 9,000 and 11,000 years ago. Weathering and erosion has occurred since.
The Geologic Map of Washington — Northwest Quadrant (2002) has mapped the site geology as glacial till
deposits(Qgt)of continental glacial origin. The report reads:
Till — Unsorted unstratified, highly compacted mixture of clay, silt, sand and gravel, boulders
deposited by glacial ice, may contain interbedded stratified sand, silt and gravel. Includes part of
the Vashon drift undivided.
The Geologic Map of the Shelton 1:100,000 Quadrangle, Washington, by Logan(2003) describes the site geology
as late Wisconsinan(Pleistocene)glacial deposits. The till(Qgt)is described as:
Qgt Till, late Wisconsinan (Pleistocene)—Unsorted, unstratified, highly compacted mixture of
clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders deposited by glacial ice of the Puget lobe;gray; may contain
interbedded stratified sand, silt, and gravel; sand-size fraction is very angular and contains
abundant polycrystalline quartz, which distinguishes this unit from alpine till; cobbles and
boulders are commonly striated and(or)faceted; although unweathered almost everywhere, may
contain cobbles or small boulders of deeply weathered granitic rock..
SITE SOILS
The Soil Survey of Mason County, USDA Soil Conservation Service (1960) has mapped the site soils as an
Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 30 to 45 percent slopes(Ad),at the site. The report reads:
408-01 18 10
10011 Blomberg Street SW,Olympia, WA 98512
Phone#: (360)754-4612 Fax#: (360) 754-4848
GEOTECHNICAL TESTING LABORATORY
The Alderwood soils typically formed from gravelly glacial till. They are described as having
good natural drainage. Typically, there is no occurrence of a high water table. Internal
drainage is described as medium. An erosion hazard may exist if the vegetation is removed.
This generalized mapping does not apply to the variable slopes encountered. We assume some variations of
Alderwood are present on-and near-site. This soil will be removed in the immediate area of construction.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
Subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by drilling and reviewing available well logs. A 30 foot deep drill
hole was drilled close to the proposed building site with drilling discontinued after hitting refusal. No seeps,
seepage, or springs were observed throughout the site. Groundwater was not encountered at the proposed building
location and is beyond the scope of this report(at least 100 feet below ground surface). See the provided well logs
in the Appendix. Drinking water will be provided by a community well located offsite. Therefore, no well exist
onsite and no well is proposed.
Soil logs were field logged (visually) using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The soil logs were
recorded by Neil Lorenzo on April 16, 2008. Soil colors were visually determined using the Munsell Soil Color
Charts, revised 1992. Due to the onsite cohesionless soils, the Soil Penetrometer (H-4200) by Humboldt
Manufacturing Company and the E-285 Pocket Vane Shear Tester by Geotest Instrument Corporation were not
employed.
Samples were collected by means of the split soon sampler shovel. The samples were sealed in Ziploc bags,
labeled, and transported to our soils laboratory. Soil gradations were determined by laboratory test method ASTM
D-2487 that utilizes the Unified Soil Classification System. The soils laboratory has the following certifications,
accreditations, or qualifications:
AASHTO American Association of State highway and Transportation Officials
AMRL AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory
A2LA American Association for Laboratory Accreditation
ICC International Code Council
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
In general, stiff to dense Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (sandy silty gravel) was observed onsite on surface.
Densely compacted silty sand with gravel was encountered while drilling. Specific soils information is contained
in the following"Soil Logs" section of the report.

Groundwater was not observed or encountered in test pits or along slope faces. Groundwater seepage or springs
were not observed along site slopes.
The following logs are taken from the drill hole located at north western corner of the proposed building site.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUITABILITY OF ONSITE SOILS AS FILL
Onsite soils may be considered for use as structural fill if industry standards are satisfied. Fill material
requirements are found on page 9-31 of the WSDOT Standard Specifications 2006. In general, the native soils
(sand, silt, and gravel) encountered on the site must have less than 10 percent fines (material passing the US No.
200 sieve) to be suitable for use as structural fill. Laboratory analysis of the onsite material indicates that the
onsite material sampled may be used as structural fill. However, the wide variety of material onsite warrants
further testing to be done before using the material as structural fill. See the laboratory results in the Appendix.

BEARING CAPACITY ANALYSIS
Based on our laboratory testing conducted on the sample of material collected from subject site, we have
calculated the theoretical ultimate bearing capacity. The following Terzaghi formula calculates the ultimate
bearing capacity. Using the Figure 6.3, page 173 by Prakash, the bearing capacity factors are determined from the
shear angle. Using a factor of safety of three (3), the theoretical maximum bearing capacity is equal to 10024 psf
using a shear angle of 37°. See the following spreadsheet calculation. The IBC (Table 1804.2) lists the allowable
foundation pressure as 2,000 psf for silty sand with gravel.
Terzaghi Equation is given by the following formula:
Qd = B (cNc + yDfNq + %2 yBN,,)
c Nc Y Df Nq 0.5 Y B Ny

SLOPE STABILITY AND ANALYSIS
In general, the undisturbed native materials of the site consist of a mixture of variable amounts of sand and gravel
with minor silt. These materials are in a dense and cemented condition except where they have been disturbed by
weathering activity.
No evidence of significant erosion was observed onsite at the time of our investigation. Instability of this nature is
typically confined to the upper weathered zone, which may be disturbed and has a lower strength. Raveling and
sloughing were not observed along the northwestern slope.
As previously discussed, weathering, erosion, and the resultant surficial sloughing and landsliding are natural
processes that affect slope areas. Significant weathering typically occurs in the upper 2 to 3 feet and is the result
of oxidation, root penetration,wet/dry cycles and freeze/thaw cycles. Over excavation may be necessary to ensure
the removal of deleterious material. These processes can be managed and the risk reduced through proper
construction of the residence. Erosion control recommendations in the slope and buffer areas are provided in the
"Building Setback"and"Erosion Control"sections of this report.
Excavation and back filling will occur
based on appropriate engineering and
earthwork recommendations found in
the following "Earthwork" section. ��

in the area. There is no specific danger associated with this fault to the property. No other known faults are
mapped in the vicinity of the subject site.
17.01.100E5(6) -- A description and results of slope stability analyses performed for both
static and seismic loading conditions. Analysis should examine worst case failures. The
analysis should include the Simplified Bishop's Method of Circles. The minimum static
safety factor is 1.5, the minimum seismic safety factor is 1.1. and the quasi-static analysis
coefficients should be a value of 0.15.
Slope stability was modeled using the GeoStudio 2004 program (version 6.20) in both static and dynamic
conditions (ca = 0.15). Factors of safety were determined using Bishop's, Janbu, and the Morgenstern-Price
methods. The site was modeled using a monolithic layer of cemented gravelly sand with minor silt (see Figure 4
Cross-section). The following values were utilized in the slope model: unit weight of 128 pcf, cohesion of 225
psf, and a shear angle of 37'(see Appendix for shear test results). Since groundwater seepage was not observed,
the site was modeled using "dry" or unsaturated conditions. The footings will be founded on undisturbed and
unyielding native material; hence,the surficial material was not used in the slope model.
The hillside is susceptible to specific deep-seated failure. The static Factor of Safety (FoS) is equal to 1.5 for
section "A." Under dynamic loading,the 3328 computations demonstrated that the slope is likewise susceptible to
failure and is modeled with a FoS of 1.1. We have thusly modeled the "worst-case" scenario; that is, our slope-
stability models show the maximum failure coinciding with the Mason County Requirements of a minimum ov
1.50 and 1.10 for factors of safety.
The following figures exhibits the solutions of extreme concern under acceptable factor of safety as designated by
Mason County. Under this failure scenario, the static factor of safety and dynamic factor of safety for the slope is
1.50 and 1.10 respectively.
The results indicate a safety setback and along with vegetation buffer zone is required for this site. See the site
plan, Figure 2.

17.01.100E5(7) -- Appropriate restrictions on placement of drainage features, septic drain
fields and compacted fills and footings, including recommended buffers and setbacks from
the landslide hazard areas.
The slope models above exhibit under the present grade; a setback from the active land slide hazard area is needed
for the proposed construction. There are few drainage problems foreseen,considering the size and location of the
lot. The active landslide hazard area is heavily vegetated. The area of landslide hazard has been specified on the
site plan. The residence is setback 49 feet to exclude the building from any potential slide damage. Due to the
existing vegetation, the type of construction proposed, and the soil erosion classification of this site, a 30 foot
vegetation buffer measured from the top of the Landslide Hazard Area is sufficient and recommended. Any larger
could impinge directly on the proposed building site. Refer to the site plan attached .The vegetation buffer area
should be left undisturbed as much as possible.
17.01.100E5(11) -- Specifications of final development conditions, such as vegetative
management, drainage, erosion control, and buffer widths.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BUILDING SETBACK
The building setback may be measured from the
footing of the structure to the top of the steep slope
in accordance with the International Building
Code(1805.3.1), see figure to right.
As previously discussed, weathering, erosion and
the resultant surficial sloughing and shallow
landsliding are natural processes that affect slope ��—
areas. Slumping and sloughing were not observed
along the various slopes. To manage and reduce
the potential for these natural processes, we
recommend the following.
" No drainage of concentrated surface water or significant sheet flow onto the sloped areas.
No filling on the setback zone.
Maintain a 30 foot vegetation buffer from the active land slide hazard area.
LIQUEFACTION HAZARD
The surrounding undisturbed slopes are well vegetated. The absence of springs and seeps along the slope faces
and the lack of groundwater encountered during drilling signify that groundwater is at least 60 feet below the
ground surface which is also noted in the available well log close to the parcel.
Shaking of the already dense glacial till is not apt to produce a denser configuration and subsequently excess pore
water pressures are not likely to be produced. Lacking shallow groundwater, the mixed material (gravels, sands,
and silts) is well graded and cemented and is not a likely candidate for liquefaction concerns. Grain-size analyses
are found in the Appendix. Based on our review of the subsurface conditions, we conclude that the site soils are
not susceptible to liquefaction.

The Liquefaction Susceptibility Map of Mason County, Washington by Palmer, Magsino, Poelstra, Bilderback,
Folger, and Niggemann(September 2004)maps the site area as having a very low liquefaction potential.
The Site Class Map of Mason County, Washington by Palmer, Magsino, Bilderback, Poelstra, Folger, and
Niggemann(September 2004)maps the site area as site class C. Site class C is a very stiff soil or soft rock.
SEISMIC HAZARD
According to the Seismic Zone Map of the United States contained in the 2006 International Building Code(IBC),
the project site is located where the maximum spectral response acceleration is 45 percent of gravity(g).
Based on the subsurface conditions observed at the site, we interpret the site conditions to correspond to a seismic
Soil Profile Type C, for very stiff soil, as defined by Table 1613.5.2 (IBC). This is based on probing with a ''/c-
inch diameter steel probe rod and drilling results. The shallow soil conditions were assumed to be representative
for the site conditions beyond the depths explored.
17.01.100E5(9) Recommendations for the preparation of a detailed temporary erosion
control plan which identifies the specific mitigating measures to be implemented during
construction to protect the slope from erosion, landslides and harmful construction
methods.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EROSION CONTROL
No active surface erosion was observed on or surrounding the subject site. Evidence of ponding was not observed
onsite. It is our opinion that the potential erosion hazard of the site is not a limiting factor for the proposed
development. Further removal of natural vegetation should be minimized. Yard landscaping around the home is
permissible,but native understory growth on the slopes should be encouraged as much as possible as a deterrent to
erosion.
Temporary and permanent erosion control measures should be implemented and maintained during construction
and/or as soon as practical thereafter to limit the additional influx of water to exposed areas and protect potential
receiving waters.
Erosion control measures should include, but not be limited to, silt fences, berms, and swales with ground
cover/protection in exposed areas. Typical erosion control notes and a silt fence detail are included on Figure 2
Site Plan. Any re-contouring of the site will create a need for erosion control measures as recommended above.
17.01.100E5(8) -- Recommendations for the preparation of a detailed clearing and grading
plan which specifically identifies vegetation to be removed, a schedule for vegetation
removal and replanting, and the method of vegetation removal.
The vegetation is removed at the building site, and the landslide hazard area has abundant native vegetation
including trees and local shrubs.

details of other proposed mitigation.
No mitigation is required.
EARTHWORK
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SITE PREPARATION
Based on our observations,we estimate that little additional stripping will be needed.
Surficial material that cannot be used for landscaping or erosion control should be removed from the project site.
No foundation elements shall be constructed on"untested"fill material.
If structural fill is needed,we recommend that a member of our staff evaluate the exposed subgrade conditions.
Any soft, loose or otherwise unsuitable areas delineated during foundation preparation or probing should be
compacted, if practical, or over-excavated and replaced with structural fill, based on the recommendations of our
report.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STRUCTURAL FILL
All fill material should be placed as structural fill. The structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts of
appropriate thickness to allow adequate and uniform compaction of each lift. Fill should be compacted to at least
90 percent of MDD (maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM D-1557) to within 2 feet of
subgrade and 95 percent MDD in the upper 2 feet.
The appropriate lift thickness will depend on the fill characteristics and compaction equipment used. We
recommend that the appropriate lift thickness be evaluated by our field representative during construction.
The suitability of material for use as structural fill will depend on the gradation and moisture content of the soil.
As the amount of fines (material passing No. 200 sieve) increases, soil becomes increasingly.sensitive to small
changes in moisture content and adequate compaction becomes more difficult to achieve. During wet weather, we
recommend the use of well-graded sand and gravel with less than 9 percent (by weight) passing the No. 200 sieve
based on that fraction passing the 3/4-inch sieve.
If prolonged dry weather prevails during the earthwork and foundation installation phase of construction, a
somewhat higher(up to 10 percent)fines content will be acceptable.
Material placed for structural fill should be free of debris, organic matter, trash, and cobbles greater than 6 inches
in diameter. The moisture content of the fill material should be adjusted as necessary for proper compaction.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CUT AND FILL SLOPES
All job site safety issues and precautions are the responsibility of the contractor providing services and/or work.
The following cut/fill slope guidelines are provided for planning purposes.
Temporary cut slopes may be necessary during grading operations. As a general guide,temporary slopes of 1.5 to
1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter may be used for temporary cuts in the upper 3 to 4 feet of the glacially
consolidated soils that are weathered to a loose/medium-dense condition. Temporary slopes of 1 to 1 or flatter
may be used in the unweathered dense to very dense sands and gravel.
These guidelines assume that all surface loads are kept at a minimum distance of at least one half the depth of the
cut away from the top of the slope and that significant seepage is not present on the slope face (due to recent rain
events). Flatter cut slopes will be necessary where significant raveling or seepage occurs.
Surface drainage should be directed away from all slope faces. Straw, hay, or jute matting shall be used to cover
the exposed soils until permanent vegetation is established. All disturbed areas should be revegetated as soon as
practical to facilitate the development of a protective vegetative cover or otherwise protected.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOUNDATION SUPPORT
We recommend standard procedures for foundations for a residential home is followed. Where foundation
elements are located near slopes between 5 and 30 percent, the footings should be located a minimum of 2 times
the footing width from the slope face (horizontally), and founded in medium dense or denser native soils or
properly prepared structural fill.
We recommend a minimum width for isolated and continuous wall footings to meet IBC 2006. Footings founded
as described above can be designed using an allowable soil bearing capacity of 2,000 psf(pounds per square foot)
for combined dead and long-term live loads in areas of medium dense to dense soils.
The weight of the footing and any overlying backfill may be neglected. The allowable bearing value may be
increased by one-third for transient loads such as those induced by seismic events or wind loads.
Lateral loads may be resisted by friction on the bases of footings and floor slabs and as passive pressure on the
sides of footings. We recommend that an allowable coefficient of friction of 0.40 be used to calculate friction
between the concrete and the underlying soil. Active pressure may be determined using an allowable equivalent
fluid density of 150 pcf(pounds per cubic foot).
We estimate that settlements of footings designed and constructed as recommended will be less than 1 inch, for
the anticipated load conditions, with differential settlements between comparably loaded footings of '/z inch or
less. Most of the settlements should occur essentially as loads are being applied. However, disturbance of the
foundation subgrade during construction could result in larger settlements than predicted.

Phone#: (360)754-4612 Fax#: (360) 754-4848
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FLOOR SLAB SUPPORT
Slabs-on-grade should be supported on medium dense or dense native soils or on structural fill prepared as
described in the "Structural Fill" section of this report. We recommend that floor slabs be directly underlain by a
synthetic vapor barrier. Below the synthetic vapor barrier, we recommend a minimum 4-inch thickness of coarse
sand and/or gravel containing less than 5 percent fines (by weight). The drainage material should be placed and
compacted to an unyielding condition.
A synthetic vapor barrier must be used for the control of moisture migration through the slab, particularly where
adhesives are used to anchor carpet or tile to the slab. A thin layer of sand may be placed over the vapor barrier
and immediately below the slab to protect the liner during steel and/or concrete placement. The lack of a vapor
barrier could result in wet spots on the slab,particularly in storage areas.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RETAINING WALLS
At this point,no retaining walls are proposed for this development. The following is for completeness.
Retaining walls may be utilized on the sloping portion of the site to retain fill material. The lateral pressures
acting on the subgrade and retaining walls will depend upon the nature and density of the soil behind the wall. It
is also dependent upon the presence or absence of hydrostatic pressure. If the adjacent exterior wall space is
backfilled with clean granular, well-drained soil (washed rock), the design active pressure may be determined
using an active pressure coefficient equal to 0.25 (Ka = 0.25). This design value assumes a level backslope and
drained conditions as described below.
Any retaining walls located on site should be designed for a lateral pressure, which includes the surcharge effects
of the steep slope in proximity to the wall. Although not expected at this site,the following data are provided for
planning purposes.
For an irregular or composite slope, the equivalent slope angle may be determined by extending a line upward
from the toe of the wall at an angle of 1 to 1 (Horizontal to Vertical)to a point where the line intersects the ground
surface. The surcharge effects may be modeled by increasing the equivalent fluid pressure for flat ground by the
percentage given in the following table:
SLOPE INCLINATION:EQUIVALENT FLUID PRESSURE
Slope Angle Percent Increase Equivalent Fluid Pressure
Horizontal 0% 35 pcf
3H: IV 25% 44 pcf
2H: IV 50% 53 pcf
1 H: IV 75% 61 pcf
If the walls are greater than 4 feet in height, exclusive of the footing, additional design considerations should be
applied. Walls greater than 4 feet in height must be designed by a Professional Engineer.
Positive drainage, which controls the development of hydrostatic pressure, can be accomplished by placing a zone
of coarse sand and gravel behind the walls. The granular drainage material should contain less than 5 percent

fines. The drainage zone should extend horizontally at least 18 inches from the back of the wall. The drainage
zone should also extend from the base of the wall to within 1 foot of the top of the wall. The drainage zone should
be compacted to approximately 90 percent of the MDD. Over compaction should be avoided as this can lead to
excessive lateral pressures.
A perforated PVC pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 inches should be placed in the drainage zone along the base
of the wall to direct accumulated water to an appropriate discharge location.
We recommend that a non-woven geotextile filter fabric be placed between the drainage material and the
remaining wall backfill to reduce silt migration into the drainage zone. The infiltration of silt into the drainage
zone can,with time, reduce the permeability of the granular material.
The filter fabric should be placed in such a way that it fully separates the drainage material and the backfill, and
should be extended over the top of the drainage zone. Lateral loads may be resisted by friction on the bases of
footings and as passive pressure on the sides of footings and the buried portions of the wall. We recommend that
an allowable coefficient of friction of 0.40 be used to calculate friction between the concrete and the underlying
soil. Passive,pressure may be determined by using a passive pressure coefficient equal to 4 (Kp=4).
Mason County has provided a prescribed retaining wall design that may be used for non-bulkhead retaining walls
less than 4 feet in height.

Prescriptive Concrete Retaining Wall
DESIGN STANDARD3 Do NOT APPLY To SHORELINE EF4osioN COKYROL BULKHEADS
Height:Maximum Eight Feet
Upland concrete retaining walls installed in accordance with the prescriptive design shown on the
rerveme side need not be designed by an engineer unless the Mason County Building Dept.determines
special conditions exist. Any retaining wall exceeding eight feet in height or varying from the prescriptive
design requires an engineered design.
Location of Retaining Wall
Reialning walls must only be placed against stable slopes, consisting of firm,undisturbed soil. Drainage
must be provided as shown with a 4'perforated drain pipe or 2'weep holes spaced not less than 12 feet
on center. No surcharge load, such as a building or drivcnvay, may be placed on the retaining wall or
within a distance equal to the vertical height of the retaining wall unless an engineered design is
prtapared for the additional load.
Ground Surface Above Retaining Wall
The ground surface above the retaining wall shall be less than or equal to 1:1 (i.e. 1-foot vertical to 1-foot
horizontal).
Retaining Waif Placement
The top of the footing for the retaining wall must be set a minimum of 12 inches below grade. The
footing and wall dimensions shall not be less than outlined in the retaining wall chart. The footing shall
be placed on firm,undisturbed earth.
Drainage
A minimum of 12 inches of washed granular drainage material shall be placed between the undisturbed
soil and the retaining wall. The drainage materials must be composed of gravel with 1-inch particle
sizes. Two-inch weep holes shall be located approximately 6-inches above grade, below the granular
drainage material, spaced not less than 12-feet on center. At the base of the wal I; a perforated drain
pipe,with at least a four-inch diameter,shall be installed within the drainage materials. The drain pipe
must drain to a point of discharge,approved by Mason County.
Inspections
Prior to the placement of concrete.the builder must schedule an inspection of the fonrnrrork and
reinforcement placement for the retaining wall footing. During the first inspection,the inspector will verify
the soil condition.footing dimensions,footing reinforcement,and footing placement as well as the
provisions for drainage. At the next inspection,the inspector shall verify the wall dimensions and
reinforcement prior to the wall pour. A final inspection must be performed once all work is complete.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RETAINING WALL ALTERNATIVES
Typically, block wall systems are more cost effective for long-term walls than the other options. Specific design
criteria for these options can be provided at your request by the block manufacturers.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SITE DRAINAGE
All ground surfaces, pavements and sidewalks should be sloped away from the residence and associated
structures. Surface water runoff should be controlled by a system of curbs, berms, drainage swales, and/or catch
basins and tight-lined into the appropriate drainage facilities. We recommend that conventional roof drains be
installed. Footing drains shall be installed for the proposed structure. The roof drain should not be connected to
the footing drain. For footing drains,the drain invert should be below the bottom of the footing. Typical drainage
control measures are included on Figure 3. Onsite irrigation to lawn areas shall be closely monitored.
17.01.100ES(10) An analysis of both on-site and off-site impacts of the proposed
development.
SEPTIC IMPACT
The proposed septic drainfield is located southeast of the building site. Chapter 246-272A-0210 of the Washington
Administrative Code requires a minimal horizontal separation between septic drainfields and various facilities,
including footing drains. The proposed drainfield will be located over 50 feet from the landslide hazard area. The
proposed drainfield will be located over 20 feet from the proposed building location. We conclude the slope
stability of the site will not be adversely impacted by the proposed septic drainfield and the proposed septic
drainfield will not be adversely impacted by the landslide hazard area. We also conclude the proposed septic
drainfield will not adversely impact the proposed structure.
No off site, impacts are expected if the contractor follows the recommendations of this report, Mason County
regulations, and approved standards and practices of the industry.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
Based on the results of our site reconnaissance, subsurface observations, and our experience in the area, it is our
opinion that the site is suitable for the proposed project. The proposed building location is stable relative to deep-
seated instability and will not be affected by the proposed structure. The proposed structure will not undermine
adjacent slopes. Proper drainage control measures will reduce or eliminate the potential for erosion in this area
and improve slope stability.
The hazards of the landslide area can be overcome in such a manner as to prevent harm to property and public
health and safety, and the project will cause no significant environmental impact for the life of the project.
Conventional construction equipment may be utilized for work at the site. A continuous wall footing may be used
for this site. Conventional spread footings may be considered for a more permanent foundation.
REPORT LIMITATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR USE
We have prepared this report for the exclusive use of Mr. Gary Wright and his authorized agents for the proposed
single-family residence in Mason County, Washington. Site inspections, research, and mapping have culminated
in this report. This report is intended to meet the requirements of the Mason County Critical'Areas Ordinance.
This report does not specify setbacks for: line-of-sight setbacks, FWHCA setbacks, eagle tree setbacks, wetland
setbacks, or property line setbacks. Within the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, our services have been
executed in accordance with generally accepted practices in the field of geotechnical engineering in this area at the
time this report was prepared. No warranty or other conditions, expressed or implied, should be understood.
CONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SITE SAFETY ON THEIR OWN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Our geotechnical recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's procedures, methods, schedule or
management of the work site. The contractor is solely responsible for job site safety and for managing
construction operations to minimize risks to onsite personnel and to adjacent properties.
READ THESE PROVISIONS CLOSELY
Some clients, design professionals, and contractors may not recognize that the geoscience practices (geotechnical
engineering or geology) are far less exact than other engineering and natural science disciplines. This lack of
understanding can create unrealistic expectations that could lead to disappointments, claims and disputes.
Geotechnical Testing Laboratory includes these explanatory "limitations" provisions in our reports to help reduce
such risks. Please confer with Geotechnical Testing Laboratory if you are unclear how these "Report Limitations
and Guidelines for Use"apply to your project or site.
GEOTECHNICAL,GEOLOGIC,AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS SHOULD NOT BE INTERCHANGED
The equipment, techniques and personnel used to perform an environmental study differ significantly from those
used to perform a geotechnical or geologic study and vice versa. For that reason, geotechnical engineering or
geologic reporting does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions or recommendations; e.g.,
about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants. Similarly,
environmental reports are not used to address geotechnical or geologic concerns regarding a specific project.
