QG Project No.: QG22-218
Dear Client:
At your request, Quality Geo NW,PLLC (QG) has completed a preliminary geotechnical review
of the above referenced property's existing site conditions, including site visual reconnaissance,
subsurface evaluation, and review of existing geologic literature for the site. The project site
consists of a newly excavated bench within a regional slope that is planned for the installation of
an aproximate 5-foot retaining wall feature (designed by others). It is our understanding that the
client is seeking drainage recommendations due to the accumulation water along the surface of the
bench.
QG understands the client requested a geotechnical consultation to provide any necessary
recommendation regarding drainage considerations.The following report presents the findings and
conclusions of our review, addresses feasibility of proposed site development, and provides
additional geotechnical recommendations for planning and design intended to reduce the inherent
risks associated with site development within a potentially geologically hazardous area.
A site region and vicinity map are provided in Appendix A,and a site map is presented in Appendix
B.Typical slope conditions are shown schematically on the attached site slope profile in Appendix
C, and Exploration Logs are provided in Appendix D.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The Washington Geologic Information Portal (WGIP) maintained by the Department of Natural
Resources Division of Geology and Earth Resources provides 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping of
the region. The subject site is mapped as Pleistocene continental glacial till (Qgt), described as:
"Unstratified to moderately stratified, compact, unsorted mixture of clay, silt, sand, and gravel
deposited directly by glacial ice; gray to tan; nearly everywhere in sharp contact with underlying
units; does not drain well as permeability and porosity are low; sand and finer grains in matrix are
very angular;pebble-to boulder-size clasts are commonly striated and faceted,having angular and
(or)rounded edges;boulders are generally disseminated and relatively rare;may contain interbeds
of sand and gravel. The surface of this unit is characterized by streamlined drumlins, striations,
and flutes that are generally hundreds to thousands of feet long. Angular to subrounded glacial
erratic boulders,consisting mostly of plutonic or metamorphic rock,are common but disseminated
on the surface of this unit.Unit may be capped by a few feet of unsorted and stained ablation sand
and gravel or by unit Qgos. Vashon till locally crosscuts older sediments, forming angular
unconformities.Drag folding and horizontal shearing may occur at the base of the till or internally
between layers of till, especially in thick deposits. Unit Qgt ranges in thickness from 0 to at least
50 ft.,,
According to the regional-scale interactive map, no deep-seated landslides are known to exist
within the site. Available LiDAR imagery of the site did not reveal any obvious or prominent
landslide features within the site or immediate vicinity.
The United States Department of Agriculture portal(USDA)provides a soil mapping of the region.
The soils in the vicinity are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Ab) and are formed as
hills and ridges from glacial drift and/or glacial outwash over dense glaciomarine deposits. The
soils are described as gravelly sandy loam from 0 to 7 inches and very gravelly sandy loam from
7 to 59+inches.Depth to restrictive feature is 20 to 39 inches to densic material. Capacity of most
limiting layer to transmit water (ksat), is listed very low to moderately low (0.00 to 0.06 in/hr).
Depth to water table is about 18 to 37 inches.
SITE INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY
On 12/6/2022, a QG Geologist visited the site to perform visual reconnaissance of the surface and
topographic features of the subject property and its proximal slope. While on site, we conducted
site surface explorations for a geologic hazard assessment and site feasibility characterization.
Approximate relevant property dimensions and slope topography were documented and mapped
at representative intervals as access allowed. Soil conditions were evaluated through local
exposures along the slope face. Salient slope features and existing vegetation were documented to

assess general site stability as well as observe for signs of local instability of an erosional or
subsurface nature currently or in the past.
FIELD WORK
Site exploration activities were performed on 12/6/2022.Exploration locations were marked in the
field by an QG Project Geologist with respect to the provided map and cleared for public
conductible utilities. Our exploration location was selected by an QG Project Geologist prior to
field work to provide safest access to relevant soil conditions. The geologist directed the
advancement of 1 hand auger borehole (HA). The borehole was advanced within the boundaries
of the slope failure, to a depth of approximately 0.5 feet below present grade (BPG) in general
accordance with the specified contract depth and equipment capabilities.
During explorations QG logged each soil horizon we encountered, and field classified them in
accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System(USCS).Representative soil samples were
collected from each unit, identified according to boring location and depth, and placed in plastic
bags to protect against moisture loss for future reference.
QG advanced 1 Wildcat Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests at a representative location
within the vicinity of the proposed wall location. The penetrometer test was terminated upon
reaching the equipment's maximum practical extent. During penetrometer advancement, blow
counts were recorded in 10-centimeter increments as a thirty-five-pound weight was dropped 15
inches.Blow counts were then converted to resistance(kg/cm2),standard penetration blow counts
(N-values),and corresponding soil consistency,with complete results shown on the attached logs.
Region&vicinity maps are included in Appendix A. Site map is shown in Appendix B. Complete
exploration logs are provided in Appendix D of this report.
SURFACE OBSERVATION
QG performed general site reconnaissance to observe and document any indications of localized
drainage issues or surface degradation. The area in question is part of a gentle regional sloped
shoreline adjacent to the Puget Sound that has multiple developed residential parcels. The slope
face has been heavily modified on the parcel, and at the time of QG's arrival a 3-foot-depth
excavation had been made east-west between an existing home and the lower shoreline slope. The
client intends to construct a 5-foot wall along the length of the cut. The excavations are part of in-
progress development adjacent to the home, and native soils at the surface are disturbed and bare
at the project site. The remaining slope is a combination of impervious surfaces along a driveway
and vegetated soils with small shrubs, grasses, and trees. Soils along the excavation are saturated

and had standing water at the time of QG's observations. The elevation of the trench is similar to
the elevation of the Puget Sound during high tide.
No indications of impending or historic deep-seated movement were observed along the slopes.
Topography was generally consistent, lacking features such as: significantly oversteepened native
slopes, apparent scarps, channelized runout zones, or hummocky zones. No obvious evidence of
rotational or translational failures was observed.No significant failure features were observed on
adjacent slope areas visible from the subject property during the visit. No massive downslope
accumulation, or tension cracks were observed. No significant areas of scouring from natural
stormwater channelization were observed.
Where soils were exposed,they appeared to resemble a well-graded gravel with silt and sand and
resemble sediments related to the mapped glacial deposits.
SURFACE/SUBSURFACE STORMWA TER OBSERVATION
The immediate subsurface was found to have perched stormwater over many portions of the trench,
leaving the cut and lower bench saturated with pooling water at and below the surface in most
locations.No evidence of a footing drain could be seen.
QG performed hand tool explorations on site, which revealed surface soils at 3.5-foot depth to be
brown well-graded gravel with silt and sand soils over most of the site's permeable surfaces. The
brown soils appear to correlate with the mapped glacial outwash unit in the region. DCP logs
indicate that at 4 feet below present grade (4 feet below excavated grade) there is a stiff to hard
layer, likely to be an impermeable glacial till underlying the less cohesive outwash soils.
Stormwater was found to perch within the brown soils at depths just below the excavated subgrade.
Our exploration hole filled up with water immediately to within 6 inches of the surface taken
within the excavated area.
DISCUSSION&RECOMMENDATIONS
The findings of QG's limited reconnaissance at the subject site do not indicate that any excessively
prohibitive conditions exist for the current level of slope development (from a geotechnical
standpoint). In consideration of the available information,and our direct observations,at this time
QG does not consider the site to be within an active landslide hazard area. Erosional hazards
related to soil creep and loose soils may be mitigated per the following development and site-
specific recommendations.
The most effective solution to saturated soils would be to install proper drainage behind the new
wall that will be crucial to maintaining a dry and stable surface. We offer the following basic

Lamb Wall Foundation &Drainage Quality Geo NW, PLLC

construction recommendations to be considered by the property owner and their retained engineer
or contractor.
QG recommends excavating and clearing any loose or saturated soils from areas of proposed
wall foundations, down to firm bearing conditions and benching the final bottom of subgrade
elevation flat.This may also require pumping water out of the excavations to prevent softening
subgrade soils. Excavations should be performed with a smooth blade bucket to limit
disturbance of subgrade soils. Vibratory compaction methods are suitable for densification of
the native soils.
After excavations have been completed to the planned subgrade elevations,but before placing
fill or structural elements, the exposed subgrade should be evaluated under the periodic
guidance of a QG representative. Any areas that are identified as being soft or yielding during
subgrade evaluation should be brought to the attention of the geotechnical engineer. Where
over excavation is performed below a structure,the over excavation area should extend beyond
the outside of the footing a distance equal to the depth of the over excavation below the footing.
The over excavated areas should be backfilled with properly compacted structural fill.
• Base Pad:
New walls shall bear directly on a structural base lift as follows:
A minimum 6-inch-thick leveling structural fill pad composed of permeable railroad ballast
per WSDOT Specification 9-03.9(2), or an approved alternative. The material shall be
compacted with a small vibratory plate or hoe pack on top to allow for maximum compaction
of the grains,while avoiding liquefication of the underlying soils.This mat shall be separated
from underlying and surrounding native soils by a layer of rugged nonwoven permeable
geofabric, with 24-inch overlaps at joints, to allow for water to escape and prevent the
accumulation of fine-grained soils within the void space. Fabric shall be wrapped overtop of
the mat following compaction.
The total fill section shall extend beneath the entire footprint of the proposed wall and a
minimum 6 inches past the front and side edges of the wall base block. There shall be a
perforated drainpipe running through the back of the base (within the ballast) and graded to
gravity drain to an outfall pipe, to allow any accumulated water to be released in an existing
approved drainage feature. The outfall point must be lower in elevation than the lowest point
of possible water accumulation in the base, so as to allow any captured water within the base
lift to completely drain away from the wall footprint preventing standing water from

accumulating. If the point of outfall cannot be established below the drainage features, then a
sump pump may be required.
• Excavations:
The duration of time that excavations behind walls remain open should be limited to only as
necessary to prepare the base pad and placement of the wall features, backfilling with drain
rock and approved fill immediately. Temporary worker protections such as trench boxes or
temporary shoring may be required for entering excavations deeper than 4 feet, and all OSHA
safety regulations should be observed. Extended open cut periods or work proceeding in wet
weather may require surface coverings,lesser cut angles,and/or temporary bracing be applied.
Shoring may be required to prevent the undermining of nearby existing structures, if
excavations are within 5 feet of them,and should be considered by the designer or earthworker
as needed.
• Wall Drainage:
At minimum, a 12-inch-wide wall drain corridor shall be installed behind the wall, extending
uninterrupted from the base, all the way to the last wall course and laterally across the entire
retained face. Drain material shall conform to WSDOT Spec 9-03.12(4) Gravel Backfill for
Drains, or 9-03.12(5) Gravel Backfill for Drywells. Drain rock shall be vibratory plate
compacted to settle grains out to their most dense state. Drainrock shall be wrapped on all
sides with nonwoven fabric.Perf pipes shall be installed along the length of the base to wick
water out of the wall drain, and gravity flow to an outfall away from the walls. Surface soils
behind the top of the wall shall be capped with native soils to minimize penetration of sheeting
surface stormwater into the drains.
• Wall Embedment
The initial base rockery shall be embedded (keyed in) a minimum of 6 inches deep. Key
backfill soils in front of the wall may consist of reused existing site soils.A flat bench shall be
established to extend from in front of the base of the wall,outward a minimum of 4 horizontal
feet,before descending no greater than 2H:IV.
Drainage Controls:
QG recommends proper drainage controls for stormwater runoff during and after site development
to protect the site. The ground surface adjacent to structures should be sloped to drain away at a
5%minimum to prevent ponding of water adjacent to them.
QG recommends all roof, wall, footing, and other gathered stormwater water sources (new or
existing) be tightlined (piped) away to an existing catch basin, approved dispersion area,

stormwater system, established channel, or down the slope to be released beyond the base using
appropriate energy-dissipating features at the outfall to minimize point erosion. Roof and footing
drains should be tightlined separately or should be gathered in an appropriately sized catch basin
structure and redistributed collectively. If storm drains are incorporated for impervious flatworks
(driveways, patios, etc.), collected waters should also be discharged according to these
recommendations. All drainage tightlines should be composed of appropriately sturdy material
(such as rigid PVC), sized adequately according to anticipated flow, and anchored sufficiently.
QG recommends slope tightlines be inspected by the owner periodically to look for signs of
damage or displacement requiring repair.
With county/city approval, an outfall to the Puget Sound may be considered for reasonable
quantities of stormwater.
Erosion Controls:
Erosion is one of the most common driving forces leading to slope instability. In addition to the
above commentary, if applicable the following general recommendations should be implemented
in general to reduce long-term erosion potential of the slope below the project site and maintain
slope stability:
• Stability of exposed slope faces are to be improved by planting and maintaining deep rooting
vegetation coverage. Installing beneficial ground plantings is encouraged. Alternatives to
vegetation may include erosion control measures such as a staked geotextile fabric and 6 to fl-
inch rockery (quarry spall or rip rap) cover. This may be considered suitable for slopes at or
greater than 3H:1V, but no steeper than 1H:1V. It may be preferable to incorporate rolled
erosion control products(RECPs)on an as needed basis during replanting activities to increase
the likelihood of successful vegetation or replace areas not receptive to vegetation.
• Adding vegetation will encourage rooting stabilization and in turn increase the erosional and
hydrologic resistance of the slope. The slope inclination calls for careful plant selection,
planning,and execution,to best achieve establishment and long-term surface stability.
• Minimize the volume and velocity of water that travels toward and down the slope face (via
proper choice of site development features including stormwater controls discussed above).
• Avoid accelerating slope erosion and mass wasting due to human activity such as:
✓ Adding side-cast such as dumping landscape debris or fallen trees on or above the slopes.
✓ Using heavy construction equipment on or near steep slopes.
✓ Excavating near adjacent steep slopes toe or on slope face.
✓ Placing excavated soil near the steep slope crest.

• Roof downspouts and footing drains are currently routed into closed separate pipes which
outfall into appropriate drainages. Outlets for these pipes should be protected from erosion
through the use of rip-rap (quarry spalls) or some other energy dissipating device. Similarly,
concentrated drainages should be captured in closed pipe systems and routed down slope to
appropriate outfalls.
• Clearing of existing vegetation outside the proposed building area on and adjacent to the
existing slopes should be avoided except as approved by a qualified professional.This provides
additional stability to the loose topsoil and minimizes the effects of down-slope water
movement.This is excepting removal of problem,dead,or dying,trees if posing a direct hazard
to site installations or adjacent roadways.
