2.0 SURFACE CONDITIONS
Information pertaining to the existing surface conditions for the Project was gathered on January
6, 2015 by a representative with Envirotech. During the site visit, the type of geotechnical
investigation was assessed, site features were documented that may influence construction, and
site features were examined that may be influenced by construction. This Surface Conditions
Section provides information on general observations, vegetation, topography, drainage and
observed slope/ erosion conditions for the Project and surrounding areas that may impact the
Project.
2.1 General Observations
The property is accessed from Sherwood Creek Road, an existing paved roadway. The Project is
currently undeveloped land as previously mentioned. The access road extends near the north
property line, and Sherwood Creek Road 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, cedars, alders, and other trees and shrubbery common to this area of the
Pacific Northwest. An aerial photo of the Project and immediate vicinity is provided on the
following page.
2.2 Topography
The topographic information provided in this section was extrapolated from a public lidar source,
and incorporated observations and field measurements. Where necessary, slope verification
included measuring slope lengths and inclinations with a cloth tape and inclinometer.See the Site
Plan in Appendix A in this report for an illustration of general topography with respect to the
planned development.
Critical descending slopes,with grades exceeding 40%,approximately 35 feet to the south of the
planned development.The maximum critical slope is approximately 78%with a vertical relief of
approximately 20 feet.
Ascending grades are generally located to the southeast of the planned development.These slopes
are relatively minor within 300 feet of the Project,with no apparent slope grades of at least 15%.
2.2.1 Upslope Geomorphology
The upland area of the property and beyond is generally situated on a crest of glacial
origin.
23 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.
23.1 Upslope Water Bodies
There are no apparent water bodies or wetlands located upslope from the planned

development that would significantly influence the Project.
2.4 Slope and Erosion Observations
The slope grades near the Project signal a potential landslide or erosion hazard area. Some
indicators that may suggest past slope movements include:
• Outwash of sediments near the bottom of the slope,
• Fissures,tension cracks,hummocky ground or stepped land masses on the face or top of
the slope,and parallel to the slope,
• Fine,saturated subsurface soils,
• Old landslide debris,
• Significant bowing or leaning trees,or,
+ Slope sloughing or calving.
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 surFcial slope failures
were not observed during the site visit.

3.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
Information on subsurface conditions pertaining to the Project was primarily gathered on January
6, 2015 by a representative with Envirotech. 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 3 feet below the existing ground surface, and observing cut
slopes/ shoreline banks of up to 12 feet within the vicinity of the property. 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 36 inches, and very
dense soils from 36 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.

3.3 Specific Subsurface Conditions
The following subsurface conditions are estimated descriptions of the Project subgrade utilizing
information from the depth of penetration at all testing, sampling, observed and investigated
locations. Soils for this project were primarily described utilizing the Unified Soil Classification
System(USCS)and the Soil Conservation Service(SCS)descriptions.
The Project is currently composed of native soils without indications of borrowed fill.Within test
pit locations, soils within the upper 3 feet of natural ground were observed to be moist, brown
silty sand with gravel(SM). Soils below the upper 3 feet layer to a depth of at least 10 feet below
the ground surface were observed to be mostly grey, low moisture, silty sand with gravel (SM),
locally known as hardpan. The hardpan may extend to depths greater than 50 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 Sandy
Loam,k, with 15%-30% slopes, and Everett Gravelly Sandy Loam, 0%to 5% Slopes Ed.The
soil designations are depicted in the aerial photograph below, and descriptions are provided in
Appendix B of this report.
Soil Survey From USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
3.3.1 Groundwater
From the water well reports)and knowledge of the general area,permanent groundwater
is at least 50 feet directly below the property at the building pad location. Surface seepage
or perched groundwater at shallow depths was not observed on-site,nor indicated on the
well reports. However, some groundwater is expected to flow directly above the hardpan
on occasion.

4.0 ENGINEERING ANALYSES AND CONCLUSIONS
The following sections present engineering analyses and conclusions with relation to the existing
conditions and proposed improvements of the Project. 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 defming 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' regarding potential landslide activity. Stable slopes are generally not
prone to landslides due to small grades and accommodating geology. 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:

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. th summary, this designation is based on
mapping without field observations or knowledge of the specific site geology or soils. A

4.1.1 Slope Stability Analysis
Based on site geology, a non-circular slope stability analysis should be performed.
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 0.15,
and applying the applicable values to STABLE software. Various radii's and center
points of the circle were automatically selected, and produced factor of safeties in a
graphical and tabular format. Worst case scenario values were used in the slope stability
analysis in regards to topography, surcharges, water content, internal friction and
cohesion of the site soils. STABLE software has been repeatedly checked with manual
calculations, and consistently proved to be a very conservative program. The following
soil properties were used in the analysis, and are based on observed conditions, known
geology,and/or published parameters:
Upper 5 feet soil depth
Soil unit weight: 135 pcf
Angle of internal friction: 32 degrees
Cohesion: 0 psf
Soils below 5 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 2.2 and 1.8, respectively. See the slope stability
information in Appendix C for a depiction of input parameters and example of outputs.
4.2 Erosion
Based on the USCS description of the Project soils, the surface soils are considered moderately
erodible. According to the Resource Map from the Washington State DNR, as provided above,
the Project is not within terrain labeled `highly erodible.' This Project is within an erosion hazard
area as defined by the MCRO. Erosion hazard areas are those with USDA SCS designations of
River Wash (Ra), Coastal Beaches (Cg), Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam on slopes 15% or
greater (Ac and Ad), Cloquallum Silt Loam on slopes 15% or greater (Cd), Harstine Gravelly
Sandy Loam on slopes 15%or greater(11b),and Kitsap Silt Loam on slopes 15%or greater(Kc).

It is our opinion that minor erosion control recommendations provided in this report is sufficient
for the development of this Project, and additional engineered erosion control plans are not
required. Temporary and 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 consist of
specific erosion controls to be implemented. Additional erosion control information and
specifications may be found in the latest addition of the "Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington," prepared by the Washington State Department of Ecology Water Quality
Program.
4.3 Seismic Considerations and Liquefaction
There are no known faults beneath this Project. The nearest Class `A' or Class `B' fault to this
property is the Tacoma Fault Zone,in which is approximately 4 miles to the south of this Project.
This information is based on the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database for the United States.
Potential landslides due to seismic hazards have been considered, and are addressed in the Slope
Stability Analysis Section provided earlier in this report.
Soils immediately below the expected foundation depth for this Project are generally Type D,
corresponding to the International Building Code (IBC) soil profiles. According to the IBC, the
regional seismic zone is 3 for this Project. The estimated peak ground acceleration ranges from
0.50g to 0.60g.This estimation is based on the United States Geological Survey(USGS)National
Seismic Hazard Project in which there is an estimated 2% probability of exceedance within the
next 50 years.
431 Liquefaction
The potential for liquefaction is believed to be low for this Project. This is based, in part,
on the subsurface conditions such as soil characteristics and the lack of a permanent
shallow water table. Subgrade characteristics that particularly contribute to problems
caused from liquefaction include submerged, confined, poorly-graded granular soils (i.e.
gravel,sand,silt).Although gravel-and silt-sized soil particles could be problematic,fine
and medium grained sands are typically subjected to these types of seismic hazards. No
significant saturated sand stratifications are anticipated to be within the upper 50 feet of
the subsoil for this Project.
4.4 Landslide,Erosion and Seismic Hazards Conclusions
DNR did not indicate historic landslide activity near the Project. Mapped slope conditions, as
delineated by the Departments of Ecology and/ or Natural Resources, were considered in our
slope stability assessment. Based on the proximity and severity of mapped delineations with
respect to the proposed development, results of the aforesaid slope stability analysis, observed

surface conditions, and other pertinent information, it is our opinion that the proposed
development may occur in accordance with the recommendations in this geotechnical report.
4.5 Lateral Earth Pressures
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.

5.0 ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
The following sections present engineering recommendations for the proposed improvements of
the Project. These recommendations have been made available based on the planned
improvements as outlined in the Introduction Section of this report; general observations
including drainage and topography as recapitulated in the Surface Conditions Section; soil/
geologic conditions that were identified from the geotechnical investigation that is summarized in
the Subsurface Investigation Section; and, Project research, analyses and conclusions as
determined in the Engineering Analysis and Conclusions Section. Recommendations for the
Project that is provided herein,includes pertinent information for building foundations,earthwork
construction, building and/or footing setbacks, drainage, vegetation considerations, and erosion
control.
5.1 Building Foundation Recommendations
Recommendations provided in this section account for the site development of a typical 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.
For a bearing capacity requirement of no more than 1500 psf, a minimum continuous
footing width of 12 inches(15 inches for 2 stories) shall be placed at a minimum of 24
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
foundation recommendations may be completed upon a site inspection by a geotechnical
engineer after the foundation excavation is completed.

Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington
Ph. 360-275-9374 February 5,2016
5.1.2 Settlement
Total and differential settlement that a stricture will undergo depends primarily on the
subsurface conditions, type of structure, amount and duration of pressure exerted by the
structure, reduction of pore water pressure, and in some instances, the infiltration of free
moisture. Based on the expected native soil conditions, anticipated development, and
construction abides by the recommendations in this report, the assumed foundation
system may undergo a maximum of 1.0 inch total settlement,and a maximum differential
settlement of 0.75 inch.
5.1.3 Concrete Slabs-on-Grade
Interior slabs, if utilized, should be supported on a minimum of 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.
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.

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

6" 100
3" 60— 100
No.4 20—60
No.200 0-8
Table 1
Partical Size Distribution of Engineered Fill
Compaction shall be achieved in compacted lifts not to exceed 6 inches for both native
soils and engineered fill,respectively.Each lift should be uniformly compacted to at least
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.
5.2.3 Retaining Wall Backfill
As previously mentioned, significant retaining structures are not anticipated for this
Project. 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
Due to the types of subsurface soils, additional provisions may be required during
prolonged wet weather. Every precaution should be made in order to prevent free
moisture from saturating the soils within excavations. If the bottom of excavations used
for footing placement changes from a moist and dense/hard characteristic as presented in
this report to muck or soft, saturated conditions, then these soils become unsuitable for
foundation bearing material. If this situation occurs, a geotechnical engineer should be
notified, and these soils should be completely removed and replaced with compacted
engineered fill or suitable native material as presented in this section.
53 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 25 feet footing
setback from the face of the nearby descending slopes exceeding 400/6. See the figure below and
the Site Plan in Appendix A for an illustration of the setbacks.

�-- 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
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.

Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington
Ph. 360-275-9374 February 5,2016
If stonmwater 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 stonmwater 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 located outside of the construction
setbacks provided in this report,conforming to the Mason County Small Parcel Stormwater Plan.
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 15 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, sift fencing, intercepting swales, berms, straw bales, plastic cover or other
standard controls. Although other controls may be used,.if adequate, sift fencing is presented in
this report as the first choice for temporary erosion control.Any erosion control should be located
down-slope and beyond the limits of construction and clearing of vegetation where surface water
is expected to flow. If the loss of sediments appears to be greater than expected, or erosion
control measures are not functioning as needed, additional measures must be implemented
immediately. See Appendix D for sketches and general notes regarding selected erosion control
measures. The Site 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

Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington
Ph. 360-275-9374 February 5,2016
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
There is no septic drainfield associated with this site. The proposed structure will connect to a
standard sewer system located in the paved driveway to the north of the property.
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.

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