Subject: GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
NE 16th Street - Jefferson Avenue NE
Stormwater Green Connections
Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Smith,
This letter presents the results of geotechnical engineering studies for the NE 16th Street -
Jefferson Avenue NE Stormwater Green Connections project in Renton, Washington. This
report includes the results of our field explorations, laboratory testing, evaluation of infiltration
feasibility and infiltration rates. The approximate location of the project site is shown on the
Vicinity Map, Figure 1, and on the Site Exploration Plans, Figure 2A through 2C.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is our understanding that the City of Renton proposes to improve pedestrian mobility, improve
stormwater quality and reduce the quantity of stormwater runoff to enhance the neighborhood.
Improvements will include bioretention facilities and pervious sidewalks on segments of NE
16th Street and Jefferson Avenue NE. A new curb, gutter, and pervious concrete sidewalk will
replace the existing pedestrian path and improve pedestrian safety. A stormwater conveyance
system will collect and convey street roadway runoff flow from the underdrain system for the
bioretention facilities. Design of these improvements will require evaluation of the subsurface
soil conditions and geotechnical recommendations.
GEOTECHNICAL SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS
As part of the initial phase of this project, HWA GeoSciences Inc. (HWA) conducted nine
geotechnical borings to evaluate subsurface conditions for the purpose of assessing infiltration
potential. The locations of the boreholes are shown on the Site Exploration Plans, Figures 2A
through 2C. The borings, designated BH-1 through BH-9, were each drilled to a depth of 11.5
feet below ground surface (bgs) with the exception of boring BH-2 which was drilled to 2 feet
bgs due to refusal on concrete. The borings were drilled by Geologic Drill Partners, of Bellevue,
December 4, 2019
HWA Project No. 2018-167-21
2018-167-21 Letter Report 2 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
Washington, on May 14, 2019 using a limited-access, Bobcat MT52 mounted tracked drill rig
equipped with hollow stem augers.
In each of the borings, Standard Penetration Test (SPT) sampling was performed using a 2-inch
outside diameter split-spoon sampler driven by a 140-pound hammer raised using a rope and
cathead. During the SPT, samples were obtained by driving the sampler 18 inches into the soil
with the hammer free-falling 30 inches. The numbers of blows required for each 6 inches of
penetration were recorded. The Standard Penetration Resistance (“N-value”) of the soil is
calculated as the number of blows required for the final 12 inches of penetration. This
resistance, or N-value, provides an indication of relative density of granular soils and the relative
consistency of cohesive soils; both indicators of soil strength.
Following evaluation of the subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, KPG selected
three locations for small-scale Pilot Infiltration Testing (PIT). The PITs were completed in July
2019. The PITs were excavated by Harding and Sons, of Duvall, Washington, using a Case CX
80 Tracked Excavator. The PITs were performed at depths between 3 to 3.5 feet. The day
following the PIT, the excavations were extended to depths of about 9 feet in order to evaluate
receptor soils prior to backfilling. The locations of the PITs are shown on the Site Exploration
Plans, Figures 2A through 2C.
An HWA geotechnical engineer logged each exploration and recorded all pertinent information.
Soil samples obtained from the explorations were classified in the field and representative
portions were placed in plastic bags. These soil samples were then taken to our Bothell,
Washington, laboratory for further examination and testing. Pertinent information including soil
sample depths, stratigraphy, soil engineering characteristics, and ground water occurrence was
recorded.
The stratigraphic contacts shown on the individual exploration logs represent the approximate
boundaries between soil types; actual transitions may be more gradual. The soil and ground
water conditions depicted are only for the specific date and locations reported and, therefore, are
not necessarily representative of other locations and times. A legend of the terms and symbols
used on the exploration logs is presented in Figure A-1. Summary logs of the borehole
explorations are presented in Figures A-2 through A-10. Summary PIT logs are presented in
Figures A-11 through A-13.
LABORATORY TESTING
Representative soil samples obtained from the subsurface explorations were taken to the HWA
laboratory for further examination and testing. Laboratory tests, as described below, were
conducted on selected soil samples to characterize relevant engineering properties of the sampled
soils. The tests included visual classifications, natural moisture contents, and grain size
distributions. The tests were conducted in general accordance with appropriate American
Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, as described below. The test results are

also presented in Appendix B, and/or displayed on the exploration logs in Appendix A, as
appropriate.
Moisture Content of Soil: The moisture content of selected soil samples (percent by dry mass)
was determined in accordance with ASTM D 2216. The results are shown on the logs in
Appendix A.
Particle Size Analysis of Soils: Selected samples were tested to determine the particle size
distribution of material in accordance with ASTM D422 (wet sieve or wet/hydrometer method).
The results are summarized on the attached Grain Size Distribution Reports, Figures B-1 through
B-7, which also provide information regarding the classification of the samples and the moisture
content at the time of testing.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is located in Renton, Washington, east of I-405 as shown on the Vicinity Map (Figure
1). The improvements proposed along NE 16th Street and Jefferson Avenue NE extend from the
intersection of Harrington Avenue NE and NE 16th Street to NE 12th Street and Jefferson Avenue
NE. Both roadways consist of one travel lane in each direction. Surrounding land use is
predominately residential housing with an elementary school north of the intersection of NE 16th
Street and Jefferson Avenue NE.
The alignment slopes uphill from the intersection of Harrington Avenue NE and NE 16th Street
to the high point, just east of the intersection of NE 16th Street and Jefferson Avenue NE.
Elevation then descends along Jefferson Avenue NE to the low point of the alignment at the
intersection of NE 12th Street and Jefferson Avenue NE. Elevation along the alignment varies
from 355 to 383 feet.
GENERAL GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The site is in the central portion of the Puget Sound Lowland, an elongated topographic and
structural depression bordered by the Cascade Mountains on the east and the Olympic Mountains
on the west. The Lowland is characterized by low-rolling relief with some deeply cut ravines.
In general, the ground surface elevation is within 500 feet of sea level. The Puget Lowland was
filled to significant depths by glacial and non-glacial sediments during the Pleistocene Epoch,
although bedrock does outcrop in scattered locations throughout the area. Generally, the rock is
deeply buried by Pleistocene and recent sediments.
Geologists have generally agreed that the Puget Sound area was subjected to four or more major
glaciations during the Pleistocene Epoch. Ice for these glacial events originated in the Coastal
Mountains and the Vancouver Range of British Columbia. The maximum southward advance of
ice was about halfway between Olympia and Centralia. The Pleistocene stratigraphic record in
the central portion of the Puget Lowland is a complex sequence of glacially-derived and
interglacial sediments. Erosion of certain deposits, as well as local deposition of sediments,
further complicate the geologic setting.

2018-167-21 Letter Report 4 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
According to the Preliminary Geologic Map of Seattle and Vicinity, Washington (Waldron et.
al., 1961), the project vicinity is primarily underlain by glacial till deposits. Glacial till soils
were deposited along the sole of the glacial ice. They consist of an unsorted mixture of clay, silt,
sand and gravel, which is very dense, having been consolidated by the weight of greater than
2,000 feet of ice.
SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS
The soils encountered in our explorations consist of near surface fill soils over recessional
outwash and glacial till deposits. Further descriptions of soils encountered in our explorations
are presented below in order of deposition, beginning with the most recently deposited. The
exploration logs in Appendix A provide more detailed description of subsurface conditions
observed at specific locations and depths.
Fill: A layer of fill was encountered in borings BH-2, BH-5, BH-6, BH-8 and BH-9 and test pit
PIT-3 from ground surface to approximately 1.5 to 6 feet bgs. Minor quantities of organics were
observed in the fill. The fill consisted of very loose to medium dense, silty sand with gravel.
The fill was likely placed during past grading and construction in the area.
Recessional Outwash: Recessional outwash deposits were encountered in test pits PIT-1, PIT-2
and PIT-3 and borings BH-1, BH-3, BH-4 and BH-9. The recessional outwash generally
consisted of loose to dense, clean to silty, sand with varying amounts of gravel. Test pit PIT-3
and borings BH-1, BH-3 and BH-9 were terminated in this deposit. Clean sand lenses were
observed within this deposit. This unit was deposited in the meltwaters of the receding glacier
and therefore is not as dense as glacially overridden deposits. These soils are likely the most
feasible for stormwater infiltration.
Glacial Till Deposits/Weathered Glacial Till Deposits: Test pits PIT-1 and PIT-2 and borings
BH-4, BH-5, BH-6, BH-7 and BH-8 encountered glacial till, typically consisting of medium
dense to very dense, silty sand with varying amounts of gravel. Clean sand lenses were observed
within this deposit. Interlayered silty sand and clean sand layers were observed in BH-5 within
the glacial till deposit. Till was encountered below fill or recessional outwash. Test pits PIT-1
and PIT-2 and borings BH-4, BH-5, BH-6, BH-7 and BH-8 were terminated in glacial till.
Locally, the upper portions of the till are weathered, somewhat less dense and finer grained.
Glacial till is locally referred to as "hardpan", because of its induration and an appearance similar
to concrete. Till is relatively impermeable, except where sandy zones are encountered. Where
sand overlies the till, water is often perched on top of the till. Glacial till is also known to
contain scattered cobbles and boulders.
GROUND WATER CONDITIONS
During the explorations in July 2019, no ground water seepage was observed in the test pits
(PIT-1 through PIT-3) at the time of excavation. The test pits were excavated in the dry season.
December 4, 2019
HWA Project No. 2018-167-21
2018-167-21 Letter Report 5 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
No ground water seepage was observed in any of the borings at the time of drilling (May 14,
2019). However, within the weathered till and recessional outwash deposits in borings BH-7,
BH-8 and BH-9, oxidation (rust) staining was observed within the soils at depths below 5 feet
below ground surface. This suggests that perched water may develop seasonally above the very
dense glacial till deposits. We expect that the water is highest during the wet winter months and
lowest during the dry summer months.
INFILTRATION TESTING
HWA conducted three, small-scale Pilot Infiltration Tests (PITs) between July 23 and 26, 2019
in general accordance with the 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual (SWDM),
Reference Section 6-A. The excavations for the PITs were made by Harding and Sons, of
Duvall, Washington, under subcontract to HWA. Each test location consisted of an approximate
19 to 23 square foot excavation to a native soil receptor depth, at approximately 3 to 3.5 feet
below existing grade. The PIT excavation depth (D) and dimension of width by length (W x L)
are as follows, PIT-1: 42 inches (D) by 42 x 78 inches (W x L), PIT-2: 43 inches (D) by 37 x 75
inches (W x L), PIT-3: 36 inches (D) by 38 x 80 inches (W x L). Infiltration testing was
conducted by maintaining a stable water level in the excavations. Specific procedures and
observations for the PITs are as follows:
PIT-1: Water was introduced into the excavation with a garden hose and into a perforated
diffuser pipe. Water rose to approximately 1.1 feet above the excavation bottom and remained at
that level during the 6-hour presoaking period with the addition of approximately 3 gallons per
minute (gpm) of water being introduced. Presoaking was followed by a 1-hour constant head
test, with water level readings and instantaneous flow rates taken every 15 minutes. After one
hour, the water was shut off and the falling head test was started at 3:15 PM on July 25, 2019,
with stage at 1.1 feet. A datalogging level and pressure transducer recorded the fall in stage every
15 seconds and physical readings were also taken during the test. The water level reached the
bottom of the excavation approximately 62 minutes after flow was terminated. Short-term
hydraulic conductivity, determined using the rates from the falling head test, was approximately
10.7 inches per hour (in/hr).
PIT-2: Water was introduced into the excavation with a garden hose and into a perforated
diffuser pipe. Water rose to approximately 1.1 feet above the excavation bottom and remained at
that level during the 6-hour presoaking period with the addition of approximately 0.2 gpm of
water being introduced. Presoaking was followed by a 1-hour constant head test, with water
level readings and instantaneous flow rates taken every 15 minutes. After one hour, the water
was shut off and the falling head test was started at 3:00 PM on July 24, 2019, with stage at
1.1 feet. A datalogging level and pressure transducer recorded the fall in stage every 15 seconds.
After 6.7 hours the water level was still at 0.5 feet in the excavation. Short-term hydraulic
conductivity, determined using the rates from the falling head test, was approximately 1 in/hr.
December 4, 2019
HWA Project No. 2018-167-21
2018-167-21 Letter Report 6 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
PIT-3: Water was introduced into the excavation with a garden hose and into a perforated
diffuser pipe. Water rose to approximately 1.1 feet above the excavation bottom and remained at
that level during the 6-hour presoaking period with the addition of approximately 3.5 gpm of
water being introduced. Presoaking was followed by a 1-hour constant head test, with water
level readings and instantaneous flow rates taken every 15 minutes. After one hour, the water
was shut off and the falling head test was started at 4:00 PM on July 23, 2019, with stage at
1.1 feet. A datalogging level and pressure transducer recorded the fall in stage every 15 seconds
and physical readings were also taken during the test. The water level reached the bottom of the
excavation approximately 45 minutes after flow was terminated. Short-term hydraulic
conductivity, determined using the rates from the falling head test, was approximately 11.5 in/hr.
After infiltration testing was completed, each PIT was over-excavated, and logged as test pits
PIT-1 through PIT-3, to depths between 8.8 and 9 feet bgs. The purpose of test pitting through
the PIT excavations was to determine adequate vertical separation from ground water/restrictive
layers and to retrieve soil samples of the proposed receptor soils for laboratory testing. Ground
water seepage or mounding of water was not observed in any test pit excavation.
The water level data in feet per date and time for PIT-1 through PIT-3 is presented in Figures 3A
through 3C. The falling head test data plotted in feet versus test time in min is presented in
Figures 4A through 4B. Summary logs of the test pit explorations are presented in Appendix A,
A-11 through -13. More information regarding the PIT procedure and results are presented later
in this report.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
Below any fill soils, the native subgrade soils consist of recessional outwash sands and glacial till
(predominately silty sand with varying amounts of gravel). The results of our investigations and
laboratory testing indicate that the some of the soils encountered along the project alignments
have potential for stormwater infiltration facilities. Pilot Infiltration Tests (PITs) were
completed in proposed infiltration locations to determine the design infiltration rates.
Our analyses suggest that the beginning and end of the project alignment is suitable for use of
onsite infiltration with design infiltration rates between 3.7 and 4.0. However, due to the
presence of glacial till near the surface between Stations 17+00 and 24+00 on NE 16th Street and
between Stations 70+00 and 81+00 on Jefferson Avenue NE, infiltration is limited to 0.3 in/hr.
For permeable sidewalks proposed near glacial till, we recommend a reservoir of clean gravel be
provided below the sidewalk to collect water and that an underdrain system be installed to
convey excess stormwater to an appropriate outlet or stormwater system.

HWA Project No. 2018-167-21
2018-167-21 Letter Report 7 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND INFILTRATION RECOMMENDATIONS
We understand infiltration of stormwater is desired using bioretention and pervious concrete
sidewalks. The depth to the bottom of the facility for bioretention is proposed to be 3 to 3.5 feet
bgs. The results of our infiltration feasibility analyses, based on widely spaced subsurface
explorations and three Small-Scale Pilot Infiltration Tests (PIT), are described below.
Measured Infiltration Rate
Small-Scale Pilot Infiltration Testing (PIT) was performed in general accordance with the 2014
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW), published by the
Washington State Department of Ecology (Department of Ecology, 2014) and the City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual (Renton, 2017). The infiltration tests were performed at three
locations, designated PIT-1 through PIT-3.
Based on the test results, the measured infiltration rate from the falling head test are shown
below in Table 1. The City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual (Renton, 2017)
recommends correction factors be applied to the measured infiltration rate to obtain the design
infiltration rate:
For pervious pavement and bioretention facilities, the city recommends an Ftesting value of 0.5 be
applied based on the number of tests (three) and length of area. Fgeometry is assumed to be 1 since
ground water or impervious layers were not observed. Fplugging accounts for reductions in
infiltration rates over the long term due to plugging of soils and a value of 0.7 is given for sandy
loams. The design infiltration rates are shown below in Table 1 using the correction factors.
Table 1. PIT Infiltration Rates
Measured Infiltration Rate (in/hr) Design Infiltration Rate (in/hr)
PIT-1 10.7 3.7
PIT-2 1.0 0.3
PIT-3 11.5 4.0
Infiltration Summary
Our analyses suggest that the beginning and end of the project alignment is suitable for use of
onsite infiltration. However, areas where glacial till is present near surface infiltration will be
limited due to subsurface soil conditions. Specific recommendations are provided below.
• Between Stations 0+00 and 17+00 on NE 16th Street we recommend a design rate of
3.7 in/hr, calculated from PIT-1, be used for bioretention and permeable sidewalk design.
December 4, 2019
HWA Project No. 2018-167-21
2018-167-21 Letter Report 8 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
• Due to the presence of glacial till near the surface between Stations 17+00 and 24+00 on
NE 16th Street and between Stations 70+00 and 81+00 on Jefferson Avenue NE
infiltration is limited to 0.3 in/hr.
o We recommend that a reservoir of clean granular soils (washed gravel) be placed
below the sidewalk in these areas. The reservoir should be sufficiently thick to
collect stormwater and convey it to a drainage system.
• Between Stations 81+00 and 83+96 on Jefferson Avenue NE we recommend a design
rate of 4.0 in/hr, calculated from PIT-3, be used for bioretention and permeable sidewalk
design.
• Given that ground water seepage was not observed in the field explorations, the minimum
3-foot vertical separation requirement between the ground water and bottom of the
infiltration facility is present in areas where infiltration is feasible.
Construction Considerations for Infiltration Facilities
Prior to the installation of infiltration facilities, the subgrade should be cut to the proposed
receptor soil. A flat subgrade is preferred for the bottom of the infiltration facilities. The existing
subgrade under areas used for infiltration should NOT be compacted or subjected to excessive
construction equipment traffic prior to coarse aggregate bed placement. Where erosion of
subgrade has caused accumulation of fine materials and/or surface ponding, this material shall be
removed with light equipment and the underlying soils scarified to a minimum depth of 8 inches.
Our recommended design infiltration rate assumes that soils will be monitored during trench
excavation to ensure low permeability layers or lenses are removed. Subsurface conditions
should be monitored and verified during construction by a qualified soil inspector.
Construction of the proposed infiltration facilities will require excavations within recessional
outwash soils that may contain cobbles and or boulders. Therefore, perspective contractors
should be prepared to encounter and remove cobbles and bounders during excavations for the
proposed trenches.
Temporary Excavations
It is our understanding that the proposed storm water facility is to extend approximately 3 to 3.5
feet below existing grade. Sloped excavations and/or standard trench box shoring may be used as
means of temporary shoring, if required.
The maintenance of safe working conditions, including temporary excavation stability, is the
responsibility of the contractor. In accordance with Part N of Washington Administrative Code
(WAC) 296-155, latest revisions, all temporary cuts in excess of 4 feet in height must be either sloped or shored prior to entry by personnel. The existing granular soils on site are generally classified as Type C soils, per WAC 296-155. Where shoring is not used, temporary cuts in Type C soils should be sloped no steeper than 1½H:1V (horizontal: vertical). Flatter side slopes could
be required for excavations below the water table or where ground water seepage is present.
December 4, 2019
HWA Project No. 2018-167-21
2018-167-21 Letter Report 9 HWA GeoSciences Inc.
The contractor should monitor the stability of the temporary excavations and adjust the
construction schedule and slope inclination accordingly. The contractor should be responsible for control of ground and surface water and should employ sloping, slope protection, ditching, sumps, dewatering, and other measures, as necessary, to prevent sloughing of soils and heave of the bottom of the excavation.
CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS
We have prepared this report for KPG and the City of Renton for use in design of a portion of
this project. This report should be provided in its entirety to prospective contractors for bidding
and estimating purposes; however, the conclusions and interpretations presented herein should
not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions. Experience shows that soil and
ground water conditions can vary significantly over small distances. Inconsistent conditions may
occur between explorations that may not be detected by a geotechnical study. If, during future
site operations, subsurface conditions are encountered which vary appreciably from those
described herein, HWA should be notified to review the recommendations made in this report,
and revise, if necessary. If there is a substantial lapse of time between submission of this report
and the start of construction, or if conditions change due to construction operations, it is
recommended that this report be reviewed to determine the applicability of the conclusions and
recommendations considering the changed conditions and time lapse.
This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner, or the
owners’ representative, to ensure that the information and recommendations are brought to the
attention of the appropriate design team personnel and incorporated into the project plans and
specifications, and the necessary steps are taken to see that the contractor and subcontractors
carry out such recommendations in the field.
Within the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, HWA attempted to execute these services
in accordance with generally accepted professional principles and practices in the fields of
geotechnical engineering and engineering geology at the time the report was prepared. No
warranty, express or implied, is made. The scope of our work did not include environmental
assessments or evaluations regarding the presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic
substances in the soil, surface water, or ground water at this site.
This firm does not practice or consult in the field of safety engineering. We do not direct the
contractor’s operations and cannot be responsible for the safety of personnel other than our own
on the site. As such, the safety of others is the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor
should notify the owner if any of the recommended actions presented herein are considered
unsafe.
