1.0 INTRODUCTION
Envirotech Engineering, PLLC. (Envirotech) has completed this geological assessment for a
residential property located at 260 NE Lake Ridge Drive, identified as parcel number 22304-76-
90130 in Mason County, Washington. As presented herein, this assessment includes information
pertaining to the Project in this Introduction Section; observations of the property and
surrounding terrain in the Surface Conditions Section; field methods and soils descriptions in the
Subsurface Investigation Section; and, assessments for landslides, erosion, seismic hazards, and
other considerations in the Conclusions Section.
An initial geological/ geotechnical evaluation of the project was conducted by Envirotech on
March 26, 2019.It was determined that natural slopes between 15% and 40%were present within
300 feet of the project. Due to these slope grades, a geological assessment is required pursuant to
landslide hazard areas of the Mason County Resource Ordinance(MCRO).
During the evaluation and site visit by Envirotech, surface and subsurface conditions were
assessed in order to determine if further geotechnical studies are required. After completion of the
field work and applicable Project research,Envirotech prepared this geological assessment.
1.1 Project Information
Information pertaining to the project was provided by the proponent of the property, and
observations from a field visit by Envirotech.The proposed development is expected to consist of
a new single family residence, on-site septic system, and other ancillary features typical of this
type of development. Approximate site development with relation to existing site features are
illustrated in the Site Plan in Appendix A of this report.
1.2 Purpose of Investigation and Scope of Work
The purpose of this geological assessment was to evaluate the project in order to confirm that the
proposed development is outside of any landslide hazard area and its associated buffers and
setbacks as determined in the MCRO. The investigation included characterizing the general
project surface and subsurface conditions, and evaluating the suitability of the soils to support the
planned site development. In order to fulfill the purpose of investigation, the geological/
geotechnical program completed for the proposed improvements of the Project include:
• Review project information provided by the proponent of the project;
• Conduct a site visit to document the site conditions that may influence the construction
and performance of the proposed improvements;
• Define general subsurface conditions of the site by observing soils within test pit
excavations, review well logs from existing wells near the Project, and evaluate
geological and hazard maps depicting the site geology for the vicinity of the project;
• Perform soils testing, such as visual classifications,to determine selected index properties
of the soils;
• Complete an engineering assessment supported by planned site alterations and the surface
and subsurface conditions that were identified by the field investigation, soil testing, and
applicable project research;and,
• Establish engineering conclusions based on findings and anticipated development.

2.0 SURFACE CONDITIONS
Information pertaining to the existing surface conditions for the project was gathered on March
26, 2019 by a representative with Envirotech. During the site visit, site features were documented
that may influence construction or reveal potential geological hazards. This Surface Conditions
Section provides information on general observations, vegetation, topography, drainage and
slope/erosion conditions for the project and surrounding areas.
2.1 General Observations
The property is currently vacant land with an existing driveway, and an existing septic tank and
drainfield. It is surrounded by residential development. NE Lake Ridge Drive extends along the
west side of the property, and Erickson Lake is located immediately to the east. Vegetation on
and near the property consists primarily of firs, huckleberry, 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 for an illustration of the general slope indicators with respect to the planned
development.
Descending slopes exceeding 40% are located on and beyond the property, with a vertical relief
of less than 10 feet. Average slope grades are approximately 31% with a vertical relief of
approximately 65 feet.
2.2.1 Upslope Geomorphology
Ascending grades are generally not located near the planned development.The upland area of the
property is situated on a hillside and crest. Landforms are primarily of glacial origin with
centuries of weathering overburden. Additional geomorphology that is pertinent to both upslope
and downslope areas are provided in the Subsurface Investigation Section of this report.
2.3 Surface Drainage
The majority of the stormwater runoff originating upslope from the anticipated development is
expected to be minimal to moderate. Significant scour, erosion and sediment transport was not
apparent near the project.
2.3.1 Upland 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 existing moderate slopes 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 or naturally 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.
The above mentioned indicators, or other signs of significant mass wasting on the property or
within the general vicinity of the Project were not observed or discovered during research.
Indications of past landslides, current unstable slopes, deep-seated slope problems, or surficial
slope failures were not observed during the site visit.

3.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
Information on subsurface conditions pertaining to the project was gathered during research and a
site reconnaissance. The site visit was accomplished on March 26, 2019 by a representative with
Envirotech. Specific information on field methods, sampling, field testing, subsurface conditions,
and results from soil testing are presented in this section of the report. Appendix B has pertinent
information on subsurface conditions for the Project,including test pit log(s)representative of the
site soils,and water well report(s)originating from the subject property and/or nearby properties.
3.1 Field Methods,Sampling and Field Testing
Information on subsurface conditions for the Project was accomplished by probing anticipated
foundation areas with hand tools, and observing soils within test pit excavations and/ or earth
cuts. Information on subsurface conditions also included reviewing geological maps within the
Project vicinity, and water well reports originating from nearby properties. No soil samples were
collected for this Project. Envirotech measured the relative density of the in-situ soils by gauging
the resistance of hand tools.
3.2 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 described utilizing the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS). Using the USCS in conjunction with estimated relative densities and other anticipated
engineering properties of the soil, susceptibility for potential landslides, erosion and seismic
hazards may be assessed.
The project is primarily composed of undisturbed, native soils, without indications of substantial
fill. Competent bearing soils were encountered at 12 inches below the existing native ground
surface in locations where the ground was probed. For engineering purposes, these native soils
consist of distinguishable layers, as presented below.
Soils within the upper 2 feet of natural ground were observed to be primarily moist, brown silty
sand with gravel (SM). Soils below the upper SM layer were observed to be an SM hardpan. The
hardpan is believed to extend to depths of at least 50 feet. This is based on nearby well reports,
site geology, and/ or knowledge of the general area. 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 (SCS), the site soils are described as Alderwood gravelly
sandy loam, Ab,with 8% - 15% slopes, and Alderwood gravelly sandy loam,A., with 15% -30%

4.0 ENGINEERING CONCLUSIONS
The following sections present engineering assessments and conclusions concerning the project.
These conclusions have been made available based on the planned construction activities as
outlined in the Introduction Section of this report; general observations of drainage and
topography as summarized in the Surface Conditions Section; and, soil conditions that were
identified by the field investigation and soils testing as outlined in the Subsurface Investigation
Section. Conclusions for the Project that is provided herein, includes pertinent information for
landslide,erosion and seismic hazards.
4.1 Landslide Hazards
For the planned development, as provided in the Introduction Section of this report, it is
Envirotech's opinion that the proposed development is not subjected to or cause adverse impacts
to a landslide hazard area or its associated buffer or setback as defined in the MCRO. This
conclusion is based on the contents provided in this report.
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. These factors of safeties are based on engineering standards such as defining engineering
properties of the soil,topography,water conditions,seismic acceleration and surcharges.
Surface sloughing or other types of surficial slope movements usually do not affect the deep-
seated structural capability of the slope. However, excessive and/or repeated surficial slope
movements, if not repaired, may represent a threat to the structural integrity of the slope.
Maintenance of the slope should be completed if the situation does arise in order to prevent the
possibility of further surficial or deep seated slope movements that may be damaging to life or
property.
According to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) "LHZ— Final A-1 Map —Landslide
Inventory—Mason Watershed, by Sarikhan, et. al., May 2007," previous landslide activity is not
recorded near the project. Per the Resource Map from DNR, the Project is not within terrain
labeled `highly unstable' or `highly erodible' relating to soils. DNR labeled portions of this
project as medium to high slope instability with relation to slopes. This delineation is primarily
dependent upon slopes and convergence. Secondly, lithology and precipitation are modeled
within this delineation. In summary, this designation is based on mapping without field
observations or knowledge of the specific site geology or soils. A resource map from DNR is
provided below:

4.1.1 Landslides and Slope Stability Analysis
Past landslide activity or high slope instability indicators near the proposed development was not
revealed during the project research. In addition, detrimental landslide activity or potential high
landslide indicators were not observed during the site visit as outlined in the Surface and
Subsurface Conditions Sections of this report. Due to these factors, and existing/ proposed
conditions, a slope stability analysis was not deemed necessary for this project. Considering the
planned construction as summarized in the Introduction Section of this report;the aforementioned
surface and subsurface conditions for the project; the slope stability assessment provided herein;
and the Engineering Conclusions provided later in this report, it is our opinion that the project is
not within a landslide hazard area, and that the proposed site alterations will not encourage a
landslide hazard.
4.1.2 Surface and Subsurface Drainage
This project does not appear to experience significant subsurface drainage or surface runoff. It is
our opinion that groundwater or surface drainage is not a limiting factor for this Project.
4.2 Erosion Hazards
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 b the MCRO. Erosion hazard areas are those with USDA SCS designations of
Y g
River Wash (Ra), Coastal Beaches (Cg), Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam on slopes 15% or
greater (Ac and Ad), Cloquallum Silt Loam on slopes 15% or greater (Cd), Harstine Gravelly
Sandy Loam on slopes 15% or greater(Hb), and Kitsap Silt Loam on slopes 15% or greater(Kc).
Temporary and/ or permanent erosion control measures may be required for any site when land
disturbance is involved. 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 conditions and planned disturbance of this Project include wind-borne silts during dry
weather, and sediment transport during prolonged wet weather. Sediment transport of disturbed
soils could be from stormwater runoff or tracking off-site with construction equipment. Although
an engineered erosion control plan is not warranted for this project, Best Management Practices
(BMP's) should be employed during and after construction. Ordinary BMP's includes silt
fencing,protection of drainage outlets and vegetating denuded areas.
Erosion control information and specifications may be found in the applicable "Stormwater
Management Manual for Western Washington,"prepared by the Washington State Department of
Ecology Water Quality Program.
4.3 Seismic Hazards
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.
There are no known faults beneath this project.The nearest Class `A' or'B' fault to this property
is the Hood Canal Fault Zone. This fault is a Class `A,` and is located approximately 5 miles to
the west of the Project. This information is supported by the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold
Database for the United States.
The potential for liquefaction and other earthquake induced hazards are believed to be low for
this project. This is based on subsurface conditions such as soil characteristics and the lack of a
permanent and substantial shallow water table. Subgrade characteristics that particularly
contribute to problems caused by seismic events include submerged and confined, poorly-graded
granular soils. Although gravel- and silt-sized soil particles could be problematic, fine and
medium grained sands are typically subjected to these types of seismic hazards.
4.4 Other Considerations
Conclusions in this report are based on the type and location of the anticipated development, and
existing on-site and off-site conditions. Site development that significantly deviates from the
anticipated improvements presented in this report, or nearby development that influences this
Project may require geotechnical design recommendations.

5.0 CLOSURE
Based on the project information 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. Therefore, it is recommended that
Envirotech is promptly notified if project and subsurface conditions found on-site are not as
presented in this report so that we can re-evaluate our recommendations.
