INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the results of our geotechnical study of the parcel herein described. The parcel is
a narrow near-rectangle long to the east-west with the eastern base somewhat wider than the western.
The parcel is currently undeveloped. The west parcel line is just off Larson Lake Road, and the eastern
line is near State Route 300.
In general, the property descends to the east with its steepest slope beginning approximately 200 feet
from the western property line. The property is covered with fairly heavy second-growth trees and
common underbrush. The elevation ranges from 135 feet at its western end to approximately 35 feet at
State Route 300.
Our understanding of the project is based on materials sent by the client. The client plans to develop the
property with a residence. Access to the parcel is on a short access road off NE Larson Lake Road near
Belfair, Washington. NE Larson Lake Road is accessed directly from State Route 300.
This geotechnical report and the checklist for Mason County involves the following:
1. A review of the available geologic, hydrogeological and geotechnical data for the site
area.
2. A detailed geologic reconnaissance of the site area and surrounding vicinity.
3. Investigation and identification of shallow subsurface conditions at the site by
characterizing the exposed soil, septic test pits, sampling, and reviewing published well
logs.
4. Comparison of the site to published geologic maps, previous field investigations, and
open file reports. Inspection of aerial photographs to determine the geomorphology of
the site.
5. Evaluation of the landslide,erosion, and seismic hazards at the site per the Mason County
Critical Areas Ordinance regulations(as of January 1,2007).
6. Slope modelling.
The slope on the eastern part of the parcel exceeds of 40% and is greater in height than 10 feet. This is
considered a Landslide Hazard Areas (LHA) Therefore, Mason County requires that a geotechnical
report be prepared in accordance with the Mason County Resource Ordinance Sections 17.01.100
through 17.01.104.
1) SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE CONDITIONS
The proposed location for the residential development is on the westernmost part of the lot on a low
slope. This slope increases in pitch as it descends to the east.
The property overall is basically covered with second-growth maturing trees, deciduous and conifers.
There is undergrowth with a few open patches.

ALL AUMCAN G OTECH ICAL
Curtis D Cushman, L.E.G. and Blaise Jelinek E.I.T. of AAG conducted a site reconnaissance on July 14,
2020. Mr. Jelinek did a site revisit on August 13, 2020 to review the property. The purpose of a site visit
is to physically observe the property and adjacent properties in order to identify any recognized geologic
conditions. Visual observations were documented.
The parcel is currently undeveloped. The trees are generally straight and vertical showing little or no
signs of slope movement.
A) SITE GEOLOGY
The entire parcel is mapped as Qgic-Vashon Stade glacial ice-contact deposits on the Washington
Geologic Information Portal which is taken from the Bel.fair 7.5-minute Quadrangle, Mason County,
Washington;by Polenz, Michael, et al.; 2009; DNR Open File Report 2009-07.
Geologic Unit Label:Qgic
Publisher:WGS
Publication Number:OFR 2009-7
Quadrangle Name:Belfair
Symbology:Pleistocene continental glacial drift
Geologic Unit Age: Pleistocene
Geologic Unit Name: Vashon Stade glacial ice-contact deposits
Unit Description: Sand, gravel, lodgment till, and flow till; minor silt and clay beds; tan to gray;
variably sorted: loose to compact; massive to well stratified; locally includes over-steepened beds
that typically reflect sub-ice flow, but their dip may, along with small-scale shears, also have
developed as collapse features or due to glaciotectonic and tectonic deformation; formed in the
presence of meltwater alongside ice, generally toward the end of the glaciation, and is thus
commonly accompanied by stagnant-ice features, such as kettles and less-orderly hummocky
topography, eskers (also separately mapped as subunit Qge), and subglacial or subaerial outwash
channels.
The deposits seen on site are likely SP Poorly graded gravelly sand using the ASTM classification.
The nearest water well is at 390 NE Larson Lake showing a gravelly and sandy material profile in the
column.
The nearest identified displacement feature is the Sunset Beach scarp—Tacoma fault on the south side of
Lynch Cove, which extends several miles southwest-northeast and is approximately 1114 miles to the
southeast of the parcel at its closest point. This is apparently a feature of the Tacoma Fault system which
is prominent in the.Allyn, Washington area. Seismic acceleration is important in modelling the slope
stability as the Puget Sound area is in an active tectonic zone and although this scarp/fault trench does not
pose an immediate hazard to the proposed building project, low levels of seismic activity are not
uncommon and there is always the possibility of a major shock.
The part of the parcel that will be developed is mapped on the Coastal Zona Atlas as Stable.

B) SOIL TYPES
The soils in the areas of the proposed development are described by the USDA Web Soil Survey as:
Ee—Everett gravelly loamy sand, 5 to 15 percent slopes

ALL AMKRAN CAOTILCHNICAL
• Landform position (three-dimensional): Riser
• Down-slope shape: Linear
• Across-slope shape: Linear
• Parent material: Sandy glacial outwash
Typical profile
• Oi - 0 to 1 inches: slightly decomposed plant material
• A - 1 to 6 inches: loamy sand
• Sw1 - 6 to 17 inches: loamy sand
• Bw2 - 17 to 27 inches: sand
• BC - 27 to 37 inches: sand
• C - 37 to 60 inches: sand
Properties and qualities
• Slope: 5 to 15 percent
• Depth to restrictive feature: More than 80 inches
• Drainage class: Somewhat excessively drained
• Capacity of the most limiting layer to transmit water(Ksat): High to very high (5.95 to 99.90
in/hr)
• Depth to water table: More than 80 inches
• Frequency of flooding: None
• Frequency of ponding: None
• Available water capacity: Low (about 3.9 inches)
The soil difference between these two is roughly in the gravel and loam content of the soils. Both are
well drained with a deep water table (-109 feet as per a nearby drill log). The Everett soil appears to be
the most common where seen on site. Soil is generally removed to the underlying glacial deposits.
C) GROUND WATER CONDITIONS
There was no ponding, springs, seeps or other water seen.
There was no evidence of active surface erosion. There was no natural drainage channels on the parcel.
D) UPSLOPE GEOMORPHOLOGY
The slope flattens to the north and west,then rises to a 190-foot elevation ridge over 900 feet to the north.
This does not constitute a geotechnical hazard to the parcel.
E) UPSLOPE WATERBODIES AND WETLANDS
There are no upland water bodies or wetlands
F) LANDSLIDE ACTIVITY
The 7.5-minute quadrangle shows numerus landslides in the mapped quadrangle,but there are none on or
near the client property and there are none along the slope above Highway 300.

ALL AMERICAN GROTItHNICAL
LiDAR from the Mason County GIS shows no evidence of any landslides on or in the area around the
site. There was no evidence of current on-site landslide activity.
2) SITE PLAN
Please see Figure 2 in the appendix.
3) EXPLORATORY HOLES OR PROBES
The site was surface examined along the access road, in exposures on the property,and as sampled as
located on Figure 2.
4) PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
This will be a single family residence.
5) CROSS SECTION
Four cross-sections are in the appendix are in the Appendix. They are along line A-A' and 13-13`.
6) SLOPE STABILTY ANALYSIS
The Slope Stability Analysis is as follows following the Mason County Resource Ordinance of 2009:
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 Bishops Method of Circles The minimum static safety factor is
IS, the minimum seismic [dynamic] safety factor is 1.1 and the quasi static analysis
coefficients should be a value of 0.15.
Slope stability was modeled using the GALENA 6.1 program in both static and dynamic conditions (ca=
0.301). "Static" condition refers to an "as is" state of a given slope. "Dynamic" puts seismic
acceleration into the model for earthquake conditions. The factor for ground acceleration (ca) was
determined from the Peak Ground Acceleration from the USGS Seismic Design Maps, included in the
Appendix.
The surface soil was field classified in the range of a SP, a very gravelly poorly graded sand. These units
are consistent with the description of the Qgic Vashon Stade glacial ice-contact deposits. The site was
modeled as monolithic unit. Groundwater was not included in the model. Parameters used for the
subsurface material are presented in the table on the following page.

Factors of safety were determined using the Bishop (semi-circular) method. A ground water table was
not included in the model,as there was no evidence of any.
Under static conditions, the slopes did not show susceptibility to deep-seated failure that would cause
damage to the existing development. See Appendix for model output and cross-sections. Under dynamic
loading (Ca=0.301), the computations demonstrated that the development is safe and not susceptible to a
deep-seated movement. The following are the Factors of Safety (FoS) attained for the sections with
respect to their current topographical representation.
General information for the slope profiles and the initial positions for analysis is presented in the
following table.

These calculated Factors of Safety (FoS) meet or exceed code standards. Thus, based on our slope
models representing critical slopes at the subject site, it is apparent that the modelled sites are not
susceptible to damage by deep-seated movements or instability
The values input were selected to be as conservative as possible so the FoS are likely higher. The
graphic output of these data is presented in the appendix,pages 21-24.
SEISMIC LIQUEFACTION HAZARD
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 Low liquefaction
potential.
AAG20-068 8947 Buttonwood Lane NE,Olympia,WA 98516 10
Phone#:(360)491-5155 Cell#: (360)481-6677
The Site Class Map of Mason County, Washington by Palmer, Magsino, Bilderback, Poelstra, Folger, and
Niggemann (September 2004) maps the area as site Class C to D. Site class C is a very stiff soil or soft
rock and class D is stiff soil.
GEOSEISMIC SETTING
According to the Seismic Zone Map of the United States (Figure 1613.3.1(1)) contained in the 2015
International Building Code (IBC), the project site is located where the maximum spectral response
acceleration is greater than 60 percent of gravity(g).
We recommend following seismic factors for design purposes.
• Site Class: D (stiff soil/soft rock)
• Spectral response acceleration, short period(SMs): 1.452g (Fa= 1.05)
• Spectral response acceleration, 1-second period(Smi): 0.874g(F„= 1.55)
• Peak Ground Acceleration 0.602
LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
Lateral loads may be resisted by friction on the bases of footings and floor slabs and as passive pressure
on the sides of footings. An allowable coefficient of friction of 0.40 may be used to calculate friction
between the concrete and the underlying native soil. We recommend the following be used to determine
the lateral earth pressures considering the onsite SP:
• � (soil friction angle) 35degrees
• Ko (at rest earth pressure coefficient) 1.428
• Ka(active earth pressure coefficient) 0.271
• Kp(passive earth pressure coefficient) 3.69
• y(soil unit weight) 120 pcf
7) RESTRICTIONS
A) PLACEMENT OF DRAINAGE FEATURES
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 in the appendix. The soil will accept
downspout and other drainage located at least 5 feet from the edge of the footing of the residence.
(Figure 3 shows recommendations for a tightline system that is not applicable to this parcel.) Drainage
should be such that there is no flow onto the steep slopes to the east.

ALL AN GILOTIECHNWAL
B) PLACEMENT OF SEPTIC DRAIN FIELDS
The drain field is located as mapped on Figure 2. The drainfields will be outside the LHA but encroach
the 50-ft vegetation buffer. Domestic water is from an off-site common source.
C) PLACEMENT OF COMPACTED FILLS AND FOOTINGS
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SITE PREPARATION
The area is forested and the trees shall be cleared as needed for construction. All areas to be excavated
should then be cleared of deleterious matter including any debris, duff, and vegetation. All deleterious
material will be removed and sub-soils reached for the footings for the construction of slab and/or
footings.
Any material that is excavated may be stockpiled and later used for erosion control and/or landscaping.
Surficial material unsuitable for these tasks should be removed from the project site. No foundation
elements shall be constructed on"untested"fill material.
If demonstrated to be acceptable, the sand/gravel sedimentary material on site may be suitable for re-use
as structural fill.
Where placement of fill material is required, the exposed subgrade areas should be compacted to a firm
and unyielding surface prior to placement of any fill. Over-excavation in any building area should be
backfilled with structural fill, compacted to the density requirements described in the "Structural Fill"
section of this report.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STRUCTURAL FILL
All fill material should be placed as structural fill. In general, the structural fill should be placed in
horizontal lifts of 8 inches to allow adequate and uniform compaction of each lift. Fill should be
compacted to at least 95 percent of MDD (maximum dry density as determined in accordance with
ASTM D-1557)to grade.
The final appropriate lift thickness will depend on the fill characteristics and compaction equipment used.
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.
Onsite soils may be considered for use as structural fill only if industry standards are satisfied. Fill
material requirements are found on page 9-26 to 9-30 of the WSDOT Standard Specifications 2010. In
general, a native soil (sand, silt, and gravel) encountered on a site must have less than 10 percent fines
(material passing the US No. 200 sieve)to be suitable for use as structural fill.
Footing design will be by the Engineer of Record.

ALL AMERICAN GTCNICAL
D) BUFFERS
The construction area will be outside the 50 foot vegetation buffer. The slopes are such that erosion
should not be a limiting factor. The LHA,which is on the downslope to the east shall not be disturbed.
E) SETBACKS
The site is outside of the acceptable hazards as defined by the slope stability model and the resultant
Factors of Safety. The geotechnical setback is seen on Figure 2.
8) CLEARING AND GRADING PLAN
Timber clearing will be needed. No grading is anticipated except to develop the foundations of the
residence. "No Disturb" zones will not be required. No formal plan should be needed as long as safe
procedures are employed with the clearing in keeping with Mason County regulations.
All job site safety issues and precautions are the responsibility of the contractor providing services and/or
work.
9) EROSION CONTROL PLAN
It is our opinion that the potential erosion hazard of the site is not a limiting factor for the proposed
development. Simple erosion control methods will reduce or eliminate any potential erosion risk. Trees
and understory growth on the LHA slope itself will not be disturbed. Revegetation as needed should
occur immediately following construction. No hazard trees appear to be present near the LHA.
The possibility of down-slope contamination is highly unlikely if proper control methods are employed.
A silt fence may be installed as shown on Figures 2 and 3 and other control methods, such as swales and
baled straw are practical. No re-contouring of the site will occur.
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 slopes should be seeded as soon
as practical to facilitate the development of a protective vegetative cover,or otherwise protected. Surface
water should not flow toward or over any steep slopes. Drainage pipes should not daylight on any steep
slopes.
A revegetation plan should not be required. When residential plantings or any plantings on the periphery
of the residential area and the slopes are planned, native species should be considered as the primary
vegetation in areas away from lawn and ornamental plantings. Shallow rooted species, such as grass,
should be planted closer than 10 feet from underground drainages.
Densely rooted evergreen shrubs are preferable than tree species on slopes greater than 15% gradient.
Tall trees may become unstable in wet soils under high wind conditions. In general,the steep sides of the
ravine should be left in a natural condition unless erosion or sloughing eventually pose a hazard to the
residence.

10) ON AND OFFSITE IMPACTS
There should be no notable on- or offsite impacts if the project is completed according to the
recommendations of this report and in accordance with all regulations and to the high standards and
practices of the building contractor.
No geotechnical impact is anticipated in the construction of the residence at either location.
11) FINAL DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS
All final conditions will follow the design by the Engineer of Record and compliance with all regulatory
agencies. If this and the above recommendations are followed, final development conditions will be
achieved.
12) STRUCTURAL MITIGATION
There is no structural remediation to be done.
13) SITE PLAN
Please see Figure 2.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of the site reconnaissance, subsurface observations, and our experience in the area, it
is our opinion that the proposed site is suitable for the proposed development. As located, the proposed
structure would not undermine adjacent slopes.
Disturbance of vegetation within the parcel may be managed to avoid possible erosion.
PROVISIONS
GENERAL
We have prepared this report for the exclusive use of RJ Peabody, Inc and their authorized agents for the
proposed improvements 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
Resource 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.

ALL AN GROTILCHNICAL
Clients and property owners must understand that, while a slope may be found to have an acceptable
Factor of Safety related to deep-seated mass wasting, surficial failure and landslides can and do occur on
steep slopes. The property owners should monitor the stability of their property following construction.
Moreover, acceptable Factors of Safety do not guarantee there cannot be failures. It is the responsibility
of the property owners to understand that there are always risks in building on or near steeply sloped
areas.
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. All American Geotechnical includes these explanatory
"limitations"provisions in our reports to help reduce such risks.
