SECTION I
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Project is the subdivision of two existing parcels zoned R4 (8.8 ac. total) into 31
single-family residential lots, per the City of Renton's (City) subdivision process. The
Tax Parcel Numbers are 1423059122 and 1423059023. The Project location (Site)
fronts on the east side of 156th Avenue SE (156th). The Project will meet the drainage
requirements of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (Manual), as
adopted by the City.
PREDEVELOPED SITE CONDITIONS
Total existing Site area is approximately 383,129 s.f. (8.795 ac). Total proposed Project
area is 390,841 s.f. (8.972 ac), which includes 7,712 s.f. (0.177 ac) for the right-of-way
frontage improvements on 156th Avenue SE. The Parcels are currently developed with
one single-family residence, out buildings and a gravel driveway. The remainder of the
Site is pasture, scotch broom, and scattered trees.
The 8.807 acre parcel is situated on a slope that discharges runoff into one Threshold
Discharge Area (TDA). However, the Site appears to have two Natural Discharge
Areas (NDA). See the Level One Downstream Analysis for more information.
For the purpose of hydrologic calculations, the entire Site is modeled as till forest.
DEVELOPED SITE CONDITIONS
The applicant is seeking approval to create 31 lots with lot sizes ranging from
approximately 8,050 s.f. to 12,566 s.f. All existing improvements will be demolished or
removed during plat construction. The 31 single-family residences combined with their
driveways will create approximately 124,000 s.f. (2.847 ac) of impervious area. The
proposed 53 -foot right of way will be improved with 26 feet of pavement, vertical curb,
gutter, 8 -foot planter strip and 5 -foot sidewalk. The half street frontage improvements
on 156th will consist of 22 feet of pavement (6' new), vertical curb, gutter, 8 -foot planter
strip and a 5 -foot sidewalk. The improvements from right -of ways will add approximately
63,825 s.f. (1.465 ac) of impervious surface. The Project will result in a total of 4.788 ac
of new impervious surfaces. The remainder of the developed Site (4.154 ac) will consist
of landscaping and lawns.
The Project is required to provide Basic Water Quality treatment and Level 2 Flow
Control, per the 2009 KCSWDM (Manual). All surface water runoff from impervious
surfaces will be collected and conveyed to a storm detention/water quality pond located
in Tract "A".
NATURAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
The Site topography slopes from the northeast corner of the Site to the southwest. The
vegetation consists of pasture, scotch broom, and scattered trees. Site runoff travels
southwesterly and sheet flows off the Site to the conveyance system in 156th
A review of the SCS soils map for the area (see Figure 4, Soils) indicates Alderwood
gravelly sandy loam with 6 to 15 percent slopes (AgC). Per the Manual, this soil type is
classified as "Till" material. The SCS Soil series descriptions follow Figure 4.

Technical Information Report City of Renton
In evaluating the upstream area, we reviewed King County iMAP aerial topography and
imagery and conducted field reconnaissance to evaluate conditions and potential
problems. The upstream area for the Site is approximately 3.35 acres, entering the Site
in from the northern and eastern property lines. The upstream area appears to be
forested and generating negligible runoff. The potential need for a bypass system will
be assessed at final engineering.

SECTION li
CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
The Project must comply with the following Core and Special Requirements:
• C.R. #1 — Discharge at the Natural Location: Runoff will discharge at the natural
location.
• C.R. #2 — Offsite Analysis: Analysis is included in Section III. The Analysis describes
the Site's runoff patterns in detail.
• C.R. #3 — The Project is located in the Level 2 Flow Control area. A detention pond
will provide flow control as required. The Project is required to match durations for
50% of the two-year peak flow up to the full 50 -year peak flow. Also match
developed peak discharge rates to predeveloped peak discharge rates for the 2 -year
and 10 -year and 100 -year return periods (KCSWDM, Sec. 1.2.)
Furthermore, the Project must meet the Flow Control BMP requirements as specified
in Section 1.2.3.3 of the Manual. The project may utilize splash blocks for basic
dispersion, pervious pavement, or other BMP's found in Appendix C of the Manual
for a portion of the impervious area on each lot.
• C.R. #4 -- Conveyance System: New pipe systems and ditches/channels are
required to be designed with sufficient capacity to convey and contain (at minimum)
the 25 -year peak flow, assuming developed conditions for onsite tributary areas and
existing conditions for any offsite tributary areas. Pipe system structures and
ditches/channels may overtop for runoff events that exceed the 25 -year design
capacity, provided the overflow from a 100 -year runoff event does not create or
aggravate a "severe floodingrp oblem" or "severe_ erosion -problem" as defined in
C.R. #2. Any overflow occurring onsite for runoff events up to and including the 100 -
year event must discharge at the natural location for the project Site. In residential
subdivisions, such overflow must be contained within an onsite drainage easement,
tract, covenant or public right-of-way. The proposed conveyance system was
analyzed using the KCBW program, and is capable of con,7ing the 100 -year- 1L
pea_
storm without overtopping any structures or channels: -This analysis will --be----
performed
-b -_performed at time of construction plan preparation.
• C.R. #5 — Erosion and Sediment Gon rro-F7 ie protect prov+�es-lie nine minimum
ESC measures.
• C.R. #6 — Maintenance and Operations: Maintenance of the proposed storm
drainage facilities will be the responsibility of the City. An Operation and
Maintenance Manual will be included in Section X at the time of construction plan
preparation.
• C.R. #7 — Financial Guarantees: Prior to commencing construction, the Applicant
must post a drainage facilities restoration and Site stabilization financial guarantee.
For any constructed or modified drainage facilities to be maintained and operated by
the City, the Applicant must: 1) Post a drainage defect and maintenance financial
guarantee for a period of two years, and 2) Maintain the drainage facilities during the
©2014 D. R. STRONG Consulting Engineers Inc. The Enclave at Bridle Ridge Preliminary Plat Page 10

two-year period following posting of the drainage defect and maintenance financial
guarantee.
• C.R. #8 — The Project is located in the Basic Water Quality Treatment area. The
combined detentionlwetpond facility will accommodate this requirement.
• S.R. #`! — Other Adopted Area -Specific Requirements: Not applicable for this
Project.
• S.R. #2 — Floodplain/Floodway Delineation.- Not applicable for this Project.
• S.R. #3 — Flood Protection Facilities: Not applicable for this Project.

TASK 3 FIELD INSPECTION
UPSTREAM TRIBUTARY AREA
In evaluating the upstream area, we reviewed King County iMAP aerial topography and
imagery and conducted field reconnaissance and have concluded that upstream
tributary area for the Site is negligible. The areas north and east of the Site produce
southwesterly flowing runoff that may enter the Site. This runoff flows over densely
vegetated areas and is considered negligible.
GENERAL ONSITE AND OFFSITE DRAINAGE DESCRIPTION
The 8.81 acre parcel is encompassed within one Threshold Discharge Area (TDA) with
two natural discharge areas (NDA 1, NDA 2). Runoff is conveyed as sheet flow
southwest across the property through dense vegetation and pasture and is directed
towards the southwest corner of the Site. From there a concrete pipe inlet conveys
water west to a catch basin at the southwest corner of the Site on the east side of 156th
Avenue SE. Runoff continues south in the conveyance system then flow is directed
west as pipe flow at the intersection of 156th Avenue SE and SE 144th Street. Runoff
continues west across 154th Place SE and outlets to Stewart Creek, a Class 3 stream.
This creek outlets to the Cedar River which eventually outlets to Lake Washington
approximately 5.5 miles northwest of the Site.
The Site's second natural discharge point (NDP) is approximately 237' east of NDP 1.
Runoff exits the Site as sheet flow and converges with NDA 1 at Point B.
Runoff from the developed Site will be collected and conveyed by a typical catch basin/
pipe network to a detention pond in the southwest corner of the Site. The pond will
discharge to the conveyance system in 156th Avenue SE.

TASK 4 DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND PROBLEM
DESCRIPTIONS
DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The downstream analysis is further illustrated and detailed in the Downstream Map and
Downstream Table located in Appendix A. The downstream area is located within the
Cedar River basin; more specifically the Lower Cedar River sub basin. The downstream
area was evaluated by reviewing available resources, and by conducting a field
reconnaissance on January 16, 2014 under overcast/foggy conditions.
Located within the TDA are two Natural Discharge Areas (NDA), NDA 1 and NDA 2.
NDA 1 exits the Site approximately 230' east of the southwestern property corner.
Runoff continues as sheet flow for approximately 230' over native vegetation and
pasture until it enters a 12 -inch concrete pipe inlet where it continues as pipe flow into a
catch basin in 156th Avenue SE.
NDA 2 exits the Site approximately 150' west of the southeastern property corner.
Runoff sheet flows west along the southern property line over native vegetation and
pasture and converges with NDA 1 at the 12 -inch concrete pipe at the southwest corner
of the Site.
Downstream Path NDA 9
Point "Al" is the natural discharge point of NDA 1. Runoff is conveyed west across the
southern property line as sheet flow and directed towards a concrete pipe inlet at the
southwest corner of the Site (±D).
From Point "Al" to Point "131", runoff heads west as sheet flow to a 12 -inch diameter
concrete pipe (±0'-223').
Point "131 ", concrete pipe inlet at the southwest corner of the Site (±223').
From Point "131" to Point "Cl", runoff heads west as concentrated flow to a 12 -inch
diameter concrete pipe (±223'-230').
Point "Cl", runoff enters a Type 1 catch basin located on the east side of 156th Avenue
SE (±230').
From Point "Cl" to Point °D1", runoff heads south as pipe flow via an 18 -inch diameter
plastic pipe. Trickle flow observed (±230'-475').
Point "Dl", runoff enters a Type 1 catch basin on the east side of 156th Avenue SE
(±475').
From Point "D1" to Point "E1", runoff heads west as pipe flow via an 18 -inch plastic
pipe. Trickle flow was observed (±475'-507').
Point "E1", runoff enters a Type 1 catch basin located on the west side of 156th Avenue
SE (±507').
From Point "E1" to Point "F1", runoff heads south as pipe flow via an 18 -inch diameter
plastic pipe. Trickle flow was observed (±507'-691').
02014 D. R. STRONG Consulting Engineers Inc. Page 17
Level one Downstream Analysis The Enclave at Bridle Ridge City of Renton
Point "171", runoff enters a Type 1 catch basin located on the west side of 156th Avenue
SE (±691').
Runoff continues south as pipe flow via an 18 -inch diameter plastic pipe for
approximately 192' where it enters either a buried catch basin or tees into another
drainage pipe heading west at the intersection of 156th Avenue SE and SE 144th Street.
Field investigation found no catch basin at this intersection, but according to City of
Renton's GIS maps, stormwater runoff is directed west at this intersection. Runoff
proceeds west as pipe flow for approximately 665' where it reaches the east side of
154th Place SE. It continues as pipe flow for approximately 55' across 154th Place SE.
Then it heads southwest as pipe flow for approximately 157' where it outlets to Stewart
Creek. Runoff continues approximately 2,470' south down this stream until it outlets to
Cedar River, which eventually outlets to Lake Washington approximately 5.5 miles
northwest of the Site.
Downstream Patin NDA 2
Point °A2", is the natural discharge point of NDA 2 (±0').
From Point "A2" to Point "131", runoff heads west as sheet flow and converges with NDA
1 at Point °B1" (±0'-471').

TASK 5 MITIGATION OF EXISTING OR POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
A review of the King County Water and Land Resources Division — Drainage Services
Section Documented Drainage Complaints within one mile of the downstream flow
paths revealed six complaints within the last ten years. Drainage investigation reports
attached in Appendix B (see table on page 20).
Project runoff from the TDA will be collected and released per the Manual's
requirements to accommodate Level 2, Conservation Flow Control and Basic Water
Quality requirements. During construction, standard sediment and erosion control
methods will be utilized. This will include the use of a stabilized construction entrance,
perimeter silt fencing, and other necessary measures to minimize soil erosion during
construction.
The project should not create any problems as specified in Section 1.2.2.1 of the
Manual and therefore is not required to provide Drainage Problem Impact Mitigation
subject to the requirements of Section 1.2.2.2.

DATE OF INVESTIGATION;
11-10-2011
INVESTIGATED BY: Virgil Pacampara
I went to the site on 11/10/2011 at 1:00 PM and investigated an illegal dumping. The complaint was about dumping of two large
television sets at the end of the roadway, right in front of a road block sign that says "No Dumping".
saw the two television sets at the edge of a turn -around arealculdesac of 149'" Ave. SE. I spoke to Mr. Billy Emerson, the property
owner of house # 1506 149`t' Ave. SE. about the alleged illegal dumping. He told me that the dumping appeared to have happened
during late night, and noticed it the following day. That he installed the "No Dumping Sign' to eliminate the illegal dumping an the site,
but it appears that people still dumped stuff on the site. It appeared that the spot of the dumping is located within the road right of way of

I went to the other site as indicated an the complaint reportsle-mail. The second site is the location of a regional facility (DR0535). The
site is along the paved walking trail that is parallel and north side of 1-169 (between 149th Ave. SE and 150'' Lane SE.). I did not see any
illegal dumping on the site particularly along the north end of cross culvert (concrete box culvert) and on the Swale.
spoke to Sandra of KC Roads emergency number (206.296.8100) on afternoon of 11118;2011 , and reported the result of the
investigation. Sandra told me that the KC -Roads will take care of the complaints and will remove the televisions on the site.
This is the first site
where the two

INVESTIGATED BY: Ted Chrisite
I arrived at the site of 15013 SE Janes Road 7:30 am to investigate a flooding ce prnt reported by Mr. Stuart Soules of the same address. I spoke with
him via telephone. He stated that his property was high enough to onl flood d thdriv_ewwaa + but his neighbor's yard 15005 was flooded u to Floor lev 1
the house. He stated that he and his neighbor share a culvert which does not allow o -r down slope drainage as it was installed in a reverse manner with
the flow going up slope. He request my speaking with the occupant of 15059 SE Jones Rd_ as he said she knew the history of the immediate area going
back 50 years. I subsequently met with the occupant of this address, who identified herself as Liu Swenson. Ms. Swenson reitte rated the statement of Mr.
Soules, stating, when the new Elliot Bridge and Stewart Creek work was done, the constructors failed to put the levee back that the Army Corps had put in
years ago along the north shore of the river. During this most recent stone event the river had rose up and flowed around a cotton tree (as identified)
around her house and neighboring properties. Ms. Swenson stated that she is awaiting a FEMA buy out for her property and that neighboring properties
have been bought and demolished. She stated that she is waiting for a better offer.
According to WP records the area is in a Flood Way. The most recent Flooding events indicated the water running consistent with this Flood Way
indication of IMAP. This information is in this file.

TO: File
FROM: Keith Dougherty
RE: 2008-0700 Brent Cawiey
BACKGROUND'
FACILITY: DR0535 -- Madsen Creek Overflow Channel
Site Visit Photographs
December 8, 2008
The facility is located in Renton north of SE Renton Maple Valley Road between 1491'
Ave SE and 154th Place SE. There was no letter of formal acceptance of the facility, but
it appears it was required from a lawsuit judgment in 1974.
The facility file states that Brent Cawley would like a hydraulic evaluation performed to
determine if realigning the outlet culverts to be almost parallel to the flow of the Cedar
River would increase the capacity of the bypass channel and prevent it from overtopping
on to his property. His property is located just east of the overflow channel along the
Cedar River (parcel 2323059123)
Mr. Cawley has complained of trouble in the past with the facility. He stated that during
the big storm of 2006, he had a significant amount of water flowing through his yard
towards the Elliot Bridge Levy. He had also stated that he had dropped a leaf at the end
of the pipes that convey water from the overflow channel to the Cedar River. According
the Mr. Cawley, the leaf flowed backwards up the pipe rather than downstream in the
river. He also dropped a leaf at the inlet of the pipe and said it did not move. Mr.
Cawley has some engineering background and suggested to Rick Lowthian that the
behavior of the leaf may possibly be due to a Venturi effect created by the river and the
angle of the pipes inletting to the Cedar River. He would like an analysis done to
determine if changing the angle of the pipes outlet to the river would reduce the head
within the channel. His belief is that there is a drop in pressure at the outlet of the pipes
and that because of this drop, water is being pushed up the pipe, or it is not allowing
water to flow freely out of the pipes into the Cedar River. He thinks that changing the
direction of the pipes (angling them more downstream, parallel to the river versus nearly
perpendicular) may allow the water to flow freely from the pipes to the river and may
even provide a suction action that would draw water out of the pipes. He believes the
change would increase the capacity of the overflow channel and potentially prevent water
from overflowing on to his property from the overflow channel.
INVESTIGATION:
2008-0700 Brent Cawley Site Visit Photographs
Keith Dougherty December 5, 2008
Initially I was asked to review the Venturi effect to determine how it applies to the
overflow channel entering the Cedar River. The Venturi effect is used to determine. the
change in pressure as an incompressible liquid flows through a constriction (usually in a
pipe). Most often the Venturi effect appears to be applied to pressurized pipes with bend
angles constricting the flow within system. The similarity could be made to the inlet
pipes of the overflow channel acting as a constriction to the flow of the Cedar River.
While the pipes of the inlet channel may act as a constriction to the flow of the river, it
would seem reasonable that the effects of the pipes would be minor considering the size
of the river versus the size of the pipes and how far the pipes extend into the river.
Currently, I do not have access to any models to simulate the Venturi effect. As such, my
investigation utilizes the stormwater models and information available to me.
A quick document search on the properties near the channel showed no easements or
tracts that define the drainage channel. It was observed on the Quarter Section map
however that nearly the entire channel lies within the 100 -yr flood plain. Mr. Cawley's
property is also within the Cedar River flood -way. The areas adjacent to the Cedar River
at this location are protected from flooding by the Elliot Bridge Levy.
Investigation of the DR facility file found that this channel has a lengthy past. It was
originally constructed in the mid seventies as a result of a lawsuit in 1974 regarding
increased runoff from the Fairfield development. At that time it appears that easements
were obtained from at least 2 property owners by King County to maintain the channel.
There have been several complaints/lawsuits following the original ruling as it appears
this channel has had many instances of flooding. More issues arose when WSDOT
widened highway 169. At that time, they replaced the three 36 -inch culverts across Hwy
169 with a single 8 -foot by 6 -foot box culvert. Based on simple calculations, it would
appear that the box culvert has more capacity than the three 36 -inch pipes. The
additional capacity would indicate the potential for increased flows to a channel that
already has a history of problems. I did not find any documents of a redesign of the
channel at the time of the culvert replacement.
Brian Sleight and I visited the site on December 5, 2008. Mr. Cawley met us at on site
and showed us the pipes of concern. He stated that he had seen the pipes running within
6 -inches of full. He also explained that during the large 2006 storm that a significant
amount of water was running through his yard. He stated that King County
maintenance/roads came out and added some fill to the berm on the east side of the.
channel to reduce some of the water flowing through his property. He also believes that
the west side of the channel is higher than the east side and would like them to be equal
2008-0700 Brent Cawley Site Visit Photographs
Keith Dougherty December 5, 2008
(if not higher on the east side to prevent flows onto his property). Brian Sleight and X
surveyed numerous points on the site. For more infonnation about the survey, please see
the attached exhibit and summary table.
0 The analysis of the data involves several tasks. The primary task is the hydraulic analysis
0n the pipes and the different pipe discharge angles. Additional tasks include:
• Determining if the east bank is lower than the west bank.
0 • Comparing the elevations of Mr. Cawley's property to the elevations of the
channel and riverbank.
0 • Determining the Cedar River influence versus the Madsen Creek influence on
flooding conditions.
The hydraulic analysis was performed using the King County Backwater Program
(KCBW) which models storm flows through channels and pipes. Background data was
taken from several sources including the Madsen Creek Flood Plain Study performed for
the Renton Assembly of God development and the WSDUT expansion of Highway 169.
Additional numbers had to be determined or assumed before the hydraulic modeling
could be performed. These numbers included: the tailwater elevation (96.Oft) which was
based on descriptions/observations made by Mr. Cawley. The slope of the channel
(between 0.23-0.44°/x), the slope of the pipes (approximately 1.0%) based on survey data,
the Cedar River flow volume (-4800cfs) from Cedar River report and velocity of the
flows entering the pipes from upstream (7.89ft/sec) based on the cross-section if the
channel, the flows into the channel from upstream (261 cfs) from the Madsen Creek Flood
Plain Study. Additionally, a range of flows was used to understand where flooding may
occur at different levels. For the analysis, a range of 50-450cfs was used as a range of the
channel running full with no tailwater elevation (-50efs) and the two 6ft pipes flowing at
near capacity (-450cfs). Lastly, several angles were used to simulate the changes in
alignment as Mr. Cawley requested. Four bend angles of 0, 30, 60 and 90 degrees were
compared to determine how a change in pipe alignment would affect the water level
within the pipes/channel. Note also that all elevations are relative elevations from the
survey data, not actual elevations based upon a NAVD datum.
RESULTS:
The modeling of the conveyance in KCBW shows that there is not a significant change in
water levels by changing the discharge angle of the pipes. Assuming a conservative
scenario where 261cfs is coming into the two 6ft pipes, there would be approximately
130+cfs per pipe. The difference in elevation from 0 degrees to 90 degrees is only about
0.2ft (---2.5inches). A more severe case where all 261cfs was modeled flowing through a
2008-0700 Brent Cawley Site Visit Photographs
Keith Dougherty December 5, 2008
single 6ft pipe shows a change in head of less than 0.69ft (-8inches). As mentioned
before, the range of flows up to 450cfs was modeled which is much higher than expected.
That data shows that a single 6ft pipe with 450cfs of flow would be in overflow
conditions, but it would still only change the water level approximately 1.5ft. These
results indicated that there would not be a significant gain to the water level if the pipes
were realigned.
A comparison of the survey points from the west bank and east bank shows varying
results. For roughly the southern 400ft of the channel, the west bank is lower than the
east bank. For approximately the northern 400ft of the channel, the west bank is higher
than the east bank. This is the area more closely located near the Cawley residence.
Other than a low spot in the channel's bank near Mr. Cawley's driveway, both banks
along the northern 400ft generally have less than I -foot difference in elevation.
The elevations of the overflow channel's east bank and the elevation of points near the
Cawley home, driveway and well -house then compared. The elevations of the cast bank
are generally higher than the elevations of the Cawley property indicating that water will
flow towards their property if it overflows the east bank. The low point of the east bank
(97.62ft) is lower than the house foundation (98.25ft) and the well house base (97.77ft)
but it was higher than the driveway spot shot (97.54). The approximate low point on the
Elliot Bridge Levy at Mr. Cawley's property was also found to be at 97.49ft. This is
slightly lower (-1.5inches) than the low point along the east bank. Aside from
comparing the low points of the east bank and the levy, the other elevation shots taken
along the levy are generally lower than the elevations along the east bank of the channel.
This would indicate that water is more likely to come from the levy overflowing before
the east bank of the overflow channel. This is consistent with conversations with Mr.
Cawley in January of 2009. I called Mr. Cawley on January 21, 2009 to find out if he
had any flooding issues due to the storms over the week of 115-1/9. Mr. Cawley
indicated during the phone call that he had significant flooding (within 4 -inches of this
floor) but most of it was coming from the river's berm at the north side of his property,
not the overflow channel. He also indicated that if there was water coming from the
Fairmont development, that the channel would not have been able to handle the flows.
However, other than the low spot elevation, the levy elevation is lower than and very near
the elevation (within one inch) of the house foundation. It should also be noted that the
elevation of the Cawley foundation is between 1-2ft above the tailwater of the river when
it is running at the high levels reported by Mr. Cawley.
Lastly a comparison was performed to determine the influence of the Madsen Creek
overflow versus the Cedar River impact on the water level in the channel. Again, data for
2008-0700 Brent Cawley
Keith Dougherty

December 5, 2008
the culverts as well as the channel were analyzed in the KCBW program. The low
elevation taken at the bottom of the channel (while dry) was at 92.34ft. During the
storms in January, Mr. Cawley indicated that water was overflowing from the Elliot
Bridge Levy at the north of his property, which has a low elevation of 97.49ft. That
means the tailwater elevation in the channel at that time would also be at least 97.49ft
indicating that the river's influence on the water level may vary as much as 5.15ft or
more. Using the 97.49ft as a tailwater elevation is a conservative scenario to model the
channel/culverts to determine the influence of the 26lefs coming from the Madsen
overflow. That modeling shows that the water level in the overflow channel would only
rise to 98.33ft which is a difference of 0.84ft. The results indicate that the Cedar River's
tailwater elevation has a more significant impact on the water level than the flow entering
the overflow channel and the capacity of the channel or the culverts.
DISCUSSION'
Several factors were considered when analyzing the flooding issues at Mr. Cawley's
property. The main task was to perform a hydraulic analysis to determine if changing the
pipes angles inletting to the Cedar River would improve their performance and decrease
flooding from the overflow channel onto Mr. Cawley's property. Other factors
considered were the overflow channel's east and west bank elevations relative to each
other, the elevation of Mr. Cawley's property relative to the channel and the river
elevations, and the effect of the river versus the inflow to the channel on flooding
conditions.
The results of the hydraulic analysis on changing the pipe angles indicates that only a
slight improvement (0.2ft or 2.5inches) may result by altering the pipe alignments as they
inlet to the Cedar River.
The elevations of the east and west banks vary based on location. Over the southern half
of the channel, the west bank is lower than the east bank. But the northern portion of the
channel, closer to Mr. Cawley's home and driveway, does show that the eastern bank is
lower thank the western bank. At the low point in the east bank, it is almost 2ft lower
than the west bank.
The relative elevation of Mr. Cawley's property to the overflow channel and the Elliot
Bridge Levy does indicate that his property will receive water that overflows either the
east bank of the channel or the levy. The elevation of the Cedar River when it is running.
at a high level indicates that flooding in the areas around the river would not be unusual
during times of high flows in the river. Additionally, the Cawley property lies within the
2008-0700 Brent Cawley Site Visit Photographs
Keith Dougherty December 5, 2008
100 -yr flood plain and the Cedar River flood -way, which is an indication that flooding
during large storm events is not uncommon and may be an ongoing issue.
Lastly, the impact of the Cedar River's water level seems to be a more significant
influence on water overtopping the east bank of the channel rather than the upstream
flows from the Madsen Creek overflow. That would lead to the conclusion that the
flooding is less likely a capacity issue and more likely a result of a high tailwater
condition from the river.
In short, it appears that the issues are more likely related to the water level in the Cedar
River and the elevations of the overflow channel and Elliot Bridge Levy and less
dependant on the angle of the pipes inletting to the river. Reviewing the data shows that
at an elevation of 98.5ft, flows that exceed the expected maximum 261cfs from the
Madsen Creek overflow can be conveyed without flooding through the channel. The
approximate amount of material needed to bring the low areas of the east bank up to
98.5ft is about 22 cubic -yards of fill. This would likely cost less than $1,000 based on
the NDAP Construction spreadsheet. This would seem to be a more suitable and cost
effective solution versus changing the pipe alignment and performing work along the
Cedar River.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend raising the low areas along the overflow channel's east bank to the relative
elevation of 98.5ft according to our survey data. This would be a more effective solution
because the results show that flooding is more likely a result of the Cedar River water
level and the elevations of the banks rather than an issue caused by the angle of the inlet
pipes. It is also a more cost effective solution and could be implemented more quickly
and with less impact to the Cedar River.

As of Sept 6th 2008 a freshly fallen tree has blocked the river just 2 feet down stream of the Madsen
creek bypass drainage culverts. This end of the tree is already catching/ stopping debris coming
down the river, and will eventually dam up and cause further back up of the Madsen creek by-pass
during the rainy season. The Madsen creek by-pass already does not have enough flow capacity to
handle the volume of water required during the rainy season. The current inadequate design has
already repeatedly flooded my property causing damage. Any further impedance will only increase
flood damage on my property that runs adjacent to Madsen creek by-pass. Please have somebody
remove the tree in question.

Technical Information Report City of Renton
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (PART C)
The Project is required to adhere to Level 2 Flow Control criteria. The Level 2
performance criteria requires that the developed condition's durations must match the
predeveloped durations ranging from 50% of the two-year peak flow up to the full 50 -
year peak flow and also match developed peak discharge rates to predeveloped peak
discharge rates for the 2 -year and 10 -year return periods (KCSVVDM, Sec. 1.2).
The Basic Water Quality Treatment goal is to remove 80% of TSS for flows or volumes
up to and including the WQ design flow or volume.
Conveyance criteria for the Project require that all new pipes be designed to convey and
contain (at minimum) the 25 -year peak flow. The conveyance system design will be
analyzed at time of final engineering.
FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM (PART D)
The Site will utilize a detention pond meeting the Level 2 Flow Control Criteria. The
King County Runoff Time Series (KCRTS) software was used to size the detention
facility. The detention pond design information is included in this section.
FLOW CONTROL BMP SELECTION
Subdivision projects are required to mitigate for impervious surface equal to a minimum
of 10% of each lot area by use of Flow Control Best Management Practices (BMP's).
The project must analyze the feasibility of infiltration and dispersion of roof runoff. The
project may utilize splash blocks meeting the requirements for basic dispersion. The
project may also utilize pervious pavement or other BMP's as found in Appendix C of
the Manual. Evaluation and inclusion of a BMP will be accomplished at final
engineering.

ESC PLAN ANALYSIS AND DESIGN (PART A)
The Erosion and Sedimentation Control Design meets the nine minimum requirements:
1. Clearing Limits — Areas to remain undisturbed shall be delineated with a high -
visibility plastic fence prior to any Site clearing or grading.
2. Cover Measures — Disturbed Site areas shall be covered with mulch and
seeded, as appropriate, for temporary or permanent measures.
3. Perimeter protection — Perimeter protection shall consist of a silt fence down
slope of any disturbed areas or stockpiles.
4. Traffic Area Stabilization -- A stabilized construction entrance will be located at
the point of ingress/egress.
5. Sediment Retention — Surface water collected from disturbed areas of the Site
shall be routed through a sediment vault or sediment traps prior to release
from the Site. The sediment vault or traps will be installed prior to grading of
any contributing area.
6. Surface Water Control —Interceptor berms or swales shall be installed to control
and intercept all surface water from disturbed areas. Surface water controls
shall be installed concurrently with and/or immediately following rough
grading.
7. Dewatering Control — Will be provided as needed.
8. Dust Control -- Dust control shall be provided by spraying exposed soils with
water until wet. This is required when exposed soils are dry to the point that
wind transport is possible which would impact roadways, drainage ways,
surface waters, or neighboring residences.
9. Flow Control — Runoff collected in the sediment vault will discharge to the
permanent detention pond outfall system.

Technical Information Report City of Renton
SWPPS PLAN DESIGN (PART B)
Construction activities that could contribute pollutants to surface and storm water
include the following, with applicable BMP's listed for each item:
1. Storage and use of chemicals: Utilize source control, and soil erosion and
sedimentation control practices, such as using only recommended amounts of
chemical materials applied in the proper manner; neutralizing concrete wash
water, and disposing of excess concrete material only in areas prepared for
concrete placement, or return to batch plant; disposing of wash-up waters from
water-based paints in sanitary sewer; disposing of wastes from oil-based paints,
solvents, thinners, and mineral spirits only through a licensed waste
management firm, or treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facility.
2. Material delivery and storage: Locate temporary storage areas away from
vehicular traffic, near the construction entrance, and away from storm drains.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied for all materials stored,
and chemicals kept in their original labeled containers. Maintenance, fueling,
and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles shall be conducted using spill
prevention and control measures. Contaminated surfaces shall be cleaned
immediately following any spill incident. Provide cover, containment, and
protection from vandalism for all chemicals, liquid products, petroleum products,
and other potentially hazardous materials.
3. Building demolition: Protect stormwater drainage system from sediment -laden
runoff and loose particles. To the extent possible, use dikes, berms, or other
methods to protect overland discharge paths from runoff. Street gutter,
sidewalks, driveways, and other paved surfaces in the immediate area of
demolition must be swept daily to collect and properly dispose of loose debris
and garbage. Spray the minimum amount of water to help control windblown fine
particles such as concrete, dust, and paint chips. Avoid excessive spraying so
that runoff from the Site does not occur, yet dust control is achieved. Oils must
never be used for dust control.
4. Sawcutting: Slurry and cuttings shall be vacuumed during the activity to prevent
migration offsite and must not remain on permanent concrete or asphalt paving
overnight. Collected slurry and cuttings shall be disposed of in a manner that
does not violate ground water or surface water quality standards.
The complete CSWPPP will be submitted at the time of final engineering.

r- Geotechnical Engineering Report --,
Geotechnical Services Are Performed for
Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects
Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the specific needs of
their clients. A geotechnical engineering study conducted for a civil engi-
neer may not fulfill the needs of a construction contractor or even another
civil engineer. Because each geotechnicai engineering study is unique, each
geotechnical engineering report is unique, prepared solelytor the client. No
one except you should rely on your geotechnical engineering report without
first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one
— not even you —should apply the report for any purpose or project
except the one originally contemplated.
Read the Full Report
Serious problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical
engineering report did not read it all. Do not rely on an executive summary
Do not read selected elements only.
A Geotechnical Engineering Report Is Based on
A Unique Set of Project -Specific Factors
Geotechnical engineers consider a number of unique, project -specific fac-
tors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors include: the
client's goals, objectives, and risk management preferences; the general
nature of the structure involved, its size, and configuration; the location of
the structure on the site; and other planned or existing site improvements,
such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless the
geotechnical engineer who conducted the study specifically indicates oth-
erwise, do not rely on a geotechnical engineering report that was:
• not prepared for you,
• not prepared for your project,
• not prepared for the specific site explored, or
• completed before important project changes were made.
Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing geotechnical
engineering report include those that affect:
• the function of the proposed structure, as when it's changed from a
parking garage to an office building, or from a light industrial plant
to a refrigerated warehouse,
• elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the
proposed structure,
• composition of the design team, or
• project ownership.
As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project
changes --even minor ones—and request an assessment of their impact.
Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems
that occur because their reports do not consider developments of which
they were not informed.
Subsurface Conditions Can Change
A geotechnical engineering report is based on conditions that existed at
the time the study was performed. Do not rely on a geotechnical engineer-
ing reportwhose adequacy may have been affected by: the passage of
time; by man-made events, such as construction on or adjacent to the site;
or by natural events, such as floods, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctua-
tions. Always contact the geotechnical engineer before applying the report
to determine if it is still reliable. A minor amount of additional testing or
analysis could prevent major problems.
Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional
Opinions
Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where
subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken. Geotechnical engi-
neers review field and laboratory data and then apply their professional
judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the
site. Actual subsurface conditions may differ—sometimes significantly—
from those indicated in your report. Retaining the geotechnical engineer
who developed your report to provide construction observation is the
most effective method of managing the risks associated with unanticipated
conditions.
A Report's Recommendations Are Not Final
Do not overrely on the construction recommendations included in your
report. Those recommendations are notfinal, because geotechnical engi-
neers develop them principally from judgment and opinion. Geotechnical
engineers can finalize their recommendations only by observing actual
subsurface conditions revealed during construction. The geotechnical
engineer who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or
liability for the report's recommendations if that engineer does not perform
construction observation.
A Geotechnical Engineering Report Is Subject to
Misinterpretation
Other design team members' misinterpretation of geotechnical engineering
reports has resulted in costly problems. Lower that risk by having your geo-
technical engineer confer with appropriate members of the design team after
submitting the report. Also retain your geotechnical engineer to review perti-
nent elements of the design team's plans and specifications. Contractors can
also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering report. Reduce that risk by
having your geotechnical engineer participate in prebid and preconstruction
conferences, and by providing construction observation.
Do Not Redraw the Engineer's Logs
Geotechnical engineers prepare final boring and testing logs based upon
their interpretation of field logs and laboratory data. To prevent errors or
omissions, the logs included in a geotechnical engineering report should
never be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings.
Only photographic or electronic reproduction is acceptable, but recognize
that separating logs from the report can elevate risk.
Give Contractors a Complete Report and
Guidance
Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can make
contractors liable for unanticipated subsurface conditions by limiting what
they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent costly problems, give con-
tractors the complete geotechnical engineering report, butpreface it with a
clearly written letter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the
report was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the
report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with the geotechnical
engineer who prepared the report (a modest fee may be required) and/or to
conduct additional study to obtain the specific types of information they
need or prefer. A prebid conference can also be valuable. Be sure contrac-
tors have sufficient time to perform additional study. Only then might you
be in a position to give contractors the best information available to you,
while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities
stemming from unanticipated conditions.
Read Responsibility Provisions Closely
Some clients, design professionals, and contractors do not recognize that
geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disci-
plines. This lack of understanding has created unrealistic expectations that
have led to disappointments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce the risk
of such outcomes, geotechnical engineers commonly include a variety of
explanatory provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled "limitations"
many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers' responsi-
bilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities
and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical
engineer should respond fully and frankly.
Geoenvlronmental Concerns Are Not Covered
The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform a geoenviron-
mental study differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical
study. For that reason, a geotechnical engineering report does not usually
relate any geoenviron mental findings, conclusions, or recommendations-,
e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or
regulated contaminants, Unanticipated environmental problems have led
to numerous project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own geoen-
vironmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk man-
agement guidance. Do not rely on an environmental report prepared for
someone else.
Obtain Professional Assistance To Deal with Mold
Diverse strategies can be applied during building design, construction,
operation, and maintenance to prevent significant amounts of mold from
growing on indoor surfaces. To be effective, all such strategies should be
devised for the express purpose of mold prevention, integrated into a com-
prehensive plan, and executed with diligent oversight by a professional
mold prevention consultant. Because just a small amount of water or
moisture can lead to the development of severe mold infestations, a num-
ber of mold prevention strategies focus on keeping building surfaces dry.
While groundwater, water infiltration, and similar issues may have been
addressed as part of the geotechnical engineering study whose findings
are conveyed in -this report, the geotechnical engineer in charge of this
project is not a mold prevention consultant-, none of the services per-
formed in connection with the geotechnical engineer's study
were designed or conducted for the purpose of mold preven-
tion. Proper implementation of the recommendations conveyed
in this report will not of itself he sufficient to prevent mold from
growing in or on the structure involved.

Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) is pleased to present this report titled "Geotechnical
Engineering Study, The Enclave at Bridle Ridge, Residential Development, 14038 - 156th
Avenue Southeast, Renton, Washington". In general, the site is underlain by a weathered soil
zone grading to very dense sandy glacial till deposits. In our opinion, the proposed residential
buildings can be supported on conventional continuous and spread footing foundations bearing
on competent native soils, re -compacted native soils, or structural fill. Competent soils suitable
for support of foundations should be encountered at depths of between two to four feet below
existing grades at most locations. Where loose or unsuitable soil conditions are exposed at
foundation subgrade elevations, compaction of the soils to the specifications of structural fill, or
overexcavation and replacement with a suitable structural fill material will be necessary.
Groundwater seepage was observed at three of the test pit locations. The groundwater
seepage can be characterized as a perched condition and was observed at an average of
approximately three feet in depth. Seepage should be expected during grading activities,
particularly during winter, spring and early summer months.
Recommendations for foundation design, site preparation, drainage, and other pertinent
recommendations are provided in this study. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to
you on this project. If you have questions regarding the content of this geotechnical
engineering study, please call.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
THE ENCLAVE AT BRIDLE RIDGE
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
14038 - 156th AVENUE SOUTHEAST
RENTON, WASHINGTON
ES -3220
INTRODUCTION
General
This geotechnical engineering study was prepared for the proposed residential development to
be constructed south of the intersection between 156th Avenue Southeast and Southeast 5th
Place in Renton, Washington. The site is located on the east side of 156th Avenue Southeast;
and is comprised of a large residential parcel currently developed with single-family residential
structure and outbuildings. A large portion of the site is occupied by now un -used pastures,
and livestock paddocks. The purpose of this study was to explore subsurface conditions across
the site and develop geotechnical recommendations for the proposed development. Our scope
of services for completing this geotechnical engineering study included the following:
• Excavation, logging and sampling of six test pits on the site;
• Laboratory testing of soil samples obtained from the test pits;
• Engineering analyses, and;
• Preparation of this report.
The following documents/maps were reviewed as part of our report preparation:
Proposed Site Plan for 156th Avenue Assemblage, Sheet SP1, dated January 7, 2014,
provided by D.R. Strong Consulting Engineers;
• Geologic Map of Washington, Northwest Quadrant, Dragovich, Logan, et al, 2002, and,
• Washington State USDA Soil Conservation Survey (SCS).
Project Description
We understand the site will be developed with 31 residential lots, access roads, a drainage tract
located within the southern portion of the site, and associated improvements. The remainder of
the site will be developed with general landscaping and paved driveways. Given the
topographic change across the site, grading activities will likely involve cuts and fills on the
order of ten feet or less to establish the final design grades.
American Classic Homes ES -3220
February 5, 2014 Page 2
Building construction is anticipated to consist of relatively lightly loaded wood framing and slab -
ort -grade floors. Perimeter foundation loading is expected to range from approximately one to
two kips per foot. Slab -on -grade loading is expected to be on the order of 150 psf.
If the above design assumptions are incorrect or change, ESNW should be contacted to review
the recommendations in this report. ESNW should review the final design to confirm that the
geotechnical recommendations included in this report have been incorporated into the project
plans.
SITE CONDITIONS
Surface
The site is located on the east side of 156th Avenue Southeast south of the intersection with
Southeast 5th Place in Renton, Washington. The approximate location of the property is
illustrated on Plate 1 (Vicinity Map) included in this study. The site is irregular in shape and
consists of a single residential parcel. The site is currently developed with single-family
residence and out buildings. The majority, however, of each parcel is occupied by green space.
The existing site topography descends from the north towards the south; with elevation change
on the order of 20 feet. Vegetation on the subject site consisted primarily of field grass, cedar
and fir trees, and blackberries during our fieldwork (January 2014).
Subsurface
ESNW representatives observed, logged and sampled six test pits excavated with a trackhoe
and operator provided by the client across the accessible portions of the site. The approximate
locations of the test pits are depicted on the Test Pit Location Plan (Plate 2). Please refer to the
test pit logs provided in Appendix A for a more detailed description of the subsurface conditions.
Fill
Fill was not encountered at any of the test pit locations. There is the potential for limited
amounts of fill surrounding the existing residential structure; and along road alignments and
existing utility trenches. If fill is encountered it may be suitable for support of foundations;
however a representative of ESNW should be retained during the construction phases of the
site development to evaluate the suitability of any on-site soils for use as structural fill or
bearing of foundations.
Topsoil
Topsoil was encountered at all test pit locations ranging in thickness of six to ten inches below
existing grade. Topsoil is not suitable for use as structural fill nor should it be mixed with
material to be used as structural fill. Topsoil or otherwise unsuitable material can be used in
landscaping areas if desired.

Native Soil
ES -3220
Page 3
Underlying the topsoil, native soils consisting primarily of loose to medium dense weathered
glacial deposits transitioning to very dense unweathered glacial till were encountered extending
to the maximum exploration depth of eight feet below existing grades. The glacial till soil
consisted of silty sand with gravel (Unified Soil Classification, SM); and soil relative density
generally increased in depth, from loose in the weathered zone to very dense within the
unweathered glacial till. The weathered glacial till was generally observed extending to an
average depth of three feet; where it transitioned to an unweathered dense condition.
Geologic Setting
The referenced geologic map resource identifies glacial till (Qgt) deposits across the site and
surrounding areas. The referenced SCS soil survey identifies Alderwood series soils across the
entirety of the site. Alderwood soils formed in glacial till and typically present a slight to
moderate erosion hazard and slow to medium runoff; and are comprised of gravelly ashy sandy
loam transitioning to very gravelly sandy loam at depth_ ESNW did not observe the presence of
volcanic ash in any of the test locations; but the presence of gravelly loam and sandy loam was
observed at all of the test pit locations.
The soil conditions observed at the test pit locations are generally consistent with glacial till
deposits.
Groundwater
Perched groundwater was observed at several of the test pits during the fieldwork (January
2014). The groundwater was observed at an average depth of three feet. Based on our
experience, groundwater seepage on till sites will typically be perched at variable depths within
the substrata of glacial till soil near the contact between weathered and unweathered material;
therefore, seepage should be expected in all grading activities at this site, particularly during the
winter, spring and early summer months. Our fieldwork occurred during an atypically dry winter
period; as such we anticipate groundwater volumes to normally exhibit higher volumes than
what was observed during the fieldwork. The seepage was present at the base of the
weathered native soil and where soil conditions became dense. Groundwater seepage rates
and elevations fluctuate depending on many factors, including precipitation duration and
intensity, the time of year, and soil conditions. In general, groundwater flow rates are higher
during the wetter, winter months.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
ES -3220
Page 4
In our opinion, construction of the proposed residential development is feasible from a
geotechnical standpoint. The proposed residential buildings can be supported on conventional
continuous and spread footing foundations bearing on competent native soils, re -compacted
native soils, or structural fill. Slab -on -grade floors should be supported on dense native soil or
structural fill. Competent soils suitable for support of foundations should be encountered at
depths of between two to four feet below existing grades. Where loose or unsuitable soil
conditions are exposed at foundation subgrade elevations, compaction of the soils to the
specifications of structural fill, or overexcavation and replacement with a suitable structural fill
material will be necessary. Recommendations for foundation design, site preparation,
drainage, and other pertinent geotechnical recommendations are provided in the following
sections of this study.
This study has been prepared for the exclusive use of American Classic Homes and their
representatives. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. This study has been prepared in
a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the
profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area.
Site Preparation and Earthwork
Site preparation activities will involve removal of existing structures, site clearing and stripping,
and implementation of temporary erosion control measures. The primary geotechnical
considerations associated with site preparation activities include building pad subgrade
preparation, stormwater pond construction, underground utility installations, and preparation of
pavement subgrade areas.
Temporary construction entrances and drive lanes, consisting of at least 12 inches of quarry
spalls can be considered in order to minimize off-site soil tracking and to provide a stable
access entrance surface. Erosion control measures should consist of silt fencing placed along
the down gradient side of the site. Soil stockpiles should be covered or otherwise protected to
reduce soil erosion. Temporary sedimentation ponds or other approaches for controlling
surface water runoff should be in place prior to beginning earthwork activities.
Topsoil and organic -rich soil was encountered generally within the upper six to ten inches at the
test pit locations_ Topsoil and organic -rich soil is not suitable for foundation support, nor is it
suitable for use as structural fill. Topsoil or organic -rich soil can be used in non-structural areas
if desired. Over -stripping of the site, however, should be avoided. A representative of ESNW
should observe the initial stripping operations, to provide recommendations for stripping depths
based on the soil conditions exposed during stripping.
Earth Solutions NW. LLC
American Classic Homes ES -3220
February 5, 2014 Page b
Subgrade conditions expected to be exposed throughout the proposed building and pavement
areas will likely be comprised of silty sand deposits. After the completion of site stripping and
rough grading activities ESNW recommends a proofroll utilizing a fully loaded solo dump truck
in order to determine the suitability of the exposed native soils for support of foundations and
roadways. ESNW should be retained during this phase of earthwork to observe the proofroll
and other earthwork activities. The soils exposed throughout subgrade areas should be
compacted to structural fill specifications prior to constructing the foundation, slab, and
pavement elements. The subgrade throughout pavement areas should be compacted as
necessary and exhibit a firm and unyielding condition when subjected to the proofrolling with a
loaded solo dump truck.
Structural fill soils placed throughout foundation, slab, and pavement areas should be placed
over a firm base. Loose or otherwise unsuitable areas of native soil exposed at subgrade
elevations should be compacted to structural fill requirements or overexcavated and replaced
with a suitable structural fill material. Where structural fill soils are used to construct foundation
subgrade areas, the soil should be compacted to the requirements of structural fill described in
the following section. Foundation subgrade areas should be protected from disturbance,
construction traffic, and excessive moisture. Where instability develops below structural fill
areas, use of a woven geotextile below the structural fill areas may be required. A
representative of ESNW should observe structural fill placement in foundation, slab, and
pavement areas,
Wet Season Grading
Perched groundwater was present at a number of the test pits near the contact between the
weathered soil and underlying unweathered glacial till soil. This condition coupled with the
moderate to high moisture sensitivity of the soil will make grading during periods of rain
moderately difficult. Mass grading should take place during the late summer months when
conditions are more favorable. if grading takes place during the wetter winter or spring months,
a contingency in the project budget should be included to allow for export of native soil and
import of structural fill as described below.
In-situ Soils
The soils encountered throughout the majority of the test sites have a moderate sensitivity to
moisture and were generally in a moist to wet condition at the time of the exploration (January
2014). In this respect, the in-situ soils may not be suitable for use as structural fill if the soil
moisture content is more than 2 to 3 percent above the optimum level at the time of
construction. In general, soils encountered during the site excavations that are excessively
over the optimum moisture content will require moisture conditioning prior to placement and
compaction. Conversely, soils that are below the optimum moisture content will require
moisture conditioning through the addition of water prior to use as structural fill. If the in-situ
soils are determined to not be suitable for use as structural fill, then use of a suitable imported
soil may be necessary.

Imported Soils
ES -3220
Page 6
Imported soil intended for use as structural fill should consist of a well graded granular soil with
a moisture content that is at or near the optimum level. During wet weather conditions,
imported soil intended for use as structural fill should consist of a well graded granular soil with
a fines content of 5 percent or less defined as the percent passing the #200 sieve, based on the
minus three-quarter inch fraction.
Structural Fill
Structural fill is defined as compacted soil placed in foundation, slab -on -grade, and roadway
areas. Fills placed to construct permanent slopes and throughout retaining wall and utility
trench backfill areas are also considered structural fill. Soils placed in structural areas should
be placed in loose lifts of 12 inches or less and compacted to a relative compaction of 90
percent, based on the laboratory maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor
Method (ASTM D-1557). Soil placed in utility trenches, pavement areas and in the upper 12
inches of slab -on -grade areas should be compacted to a relative compaction of at least 95
percent. Additionally, more stringent compaction specifications may be required for utility
trench backfill zones, depending on the responsible utility district or jurisdiction.
Foundations
Based on the results of our study, the proposed residential structures can be supported on
conventional spread and continuous footings bearing on competent native soils, re -compacted
native soils, or structural fill. Based on the soil conditions encountered at the test pit locations,
competent native soils suitable for support of foundations should be encountered at depths of
between two to four feet below existing grades. Where loose or unsuitable soil conditions are
exposed at foundation subgrade elevations, compaction of the soils to the specifications of
structural fill, or overexcavation and replacement with structural fill, may be necessary.
Provided foundations will be supported as described above, the following parameters can be
used for design of new foundations:
a Allowable soil bearing capacity 2,500 psf
• Passive earth pressure 300 pcf (equivalent fluid)
• Coefficient of friction 0.40
A one-third increase in the allowable soil bearing capacity can be assumed for short-term wind
and seismic loading conditions. The above passive pressure and friction values include a
factor -of -safety of 1.5. With structural loading as expected, total settlement in the range of one
inch and differential settlement of about one-half inch is anticipated. The majority of the
settlements should occur during construction, as dead loads are applied.

Seismic Desiqn Considerations
ES -3220
Page 7
The 2012 IBC recognizes the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for seismic site class
definitions. In accordance with Table 20.1-1 of the ASCE Minimum Design Loads for Buildings
and Other Structures manual, Site Class C should be used for design.
The referenced liquefaction susceptibility map indicates the site and surrounding areas maintain
very low liquefaction susceptibility. Liquefaction is a phenomenon where saturated or loose
soils suddenly lose internal strength in response to increased pore water pressures resulting
from an earthquake or other intense ground shaking.
In our opinion, site susceptibility to liquefaction can be characterized as low. The relative
density of the native soils, as well as the absence of a uniformly established groundwater table,
were the primary bases for this characterization.
Slab -On -Grade Floors
Slab -on -grade floors for residential buildings constructed at this site should be supported on a
firm and unyielding subgrade. Where feasible, the existing native soils exposed at the slab -on -
grade subgrade level can be compacted in place to the specifications of structural fill. Unstable
or yielding areas of the subgrade should be recompacted or overexcavated and replaced with
suitable structural fill prior to construction of the slab. A capillary break consisting of a minimum
of four inches of free draining crushed rock or gravel should be placed below the slab. The free
draining material should have a fines content of 5 percent or less (percent passing the #200
sieve, based on the minus three-quarter inch fraction). In areas where slab moisture is
undesirable, installation of a vapor barrier below the slab should be considered. If a vapor
barrier is to be utilized it should be a material specifically designed for use as a vapor barrier
and should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications,
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls must be designed to resist earth pressures and applicable surcharge loads.
The following parameters can be used for retaining wall design:
• Active earth pressure (yielding condition)
• At -rest earth pressure (restrained condition)
• Traffic surcharge for passenger vehicles
(where applicable)
• Passive resistance
• Coefficient of friction
• Seismic surcharge (active condition)
35 pcf (equivalent fluid)
55 pcf
70 psf (rectangular distribution)
300 pcf (equivalent fluid)
0.40
6H*
• Seismic surcharge (restrained condition) 14H*
" where H equals retained height
Earth Solutions NW. LLC
American Classic Homes ES -3220
February 5, 2014 Page 8
Additional surcharge loading from adjacent foundations, sloped backfill, or other loads should
be included in the retaining wall design. Drainage should be provided behind retaining walls
such that hydrostatic pressures do not develop. if drainage is not provided, hydrostatic
pressures should be included in the wall design.
Retaining walls should be backfilled with free draining material that extends along the height of
the wall, and a distance of at least 18 inches behind the wall. The upper one foot of the wall
backfill can consist of a less permeable soil, if desired. A perforated drain pipe should be
placed along the base of the wall, and connected to an approved discharge location. A typical
retaining wall drainage detail is provided on Plate 3.
Drainage
Perched groundwater was observed during the fieldwork (January 2014). As such,
groundwater should be anticipated in site excavations. Temporary measures to control surface
water runoff and groundwater during construction would likely involve interceptor trenches and
sumps. ESNW should be consulted during preliminary grading to identify areas of seepage and
to provide recommendations to reduce the potential for instability related to seepage effects.
Final surface grades should slope away from structures at a gradient of at least 2 percent for a
distance of ten feet.
In our opinion, foundation drains should be installed along building perimeter footings. A typical
foundation drain detail is provided as Plate 4.
Excavations and Slopes
The Federal Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Washington
Industrial Safety and Health Act (W1SHA) provide soil classification in terms of temporary slope
inclinations. Based on the soil conditions encountered at the test pit locations, the weathered
native soils encountered in the upper approximately three to four feet of the test pit locations,
and where groundwater seepage is exposed, are classified as Type C by OSHANVISHA.
Temporary slopes over four feet in height in Type C soils must be sloped no steeper than
1.5H,1V (Horizontal:Vertical). Dense to very dense native soils encountered below about three
to four feet where no groundwater seepage is exposed would be classified as Type A by
OSHANVISHA. Temporary slopes over four feet in height in Type A soils must be sloped no
steeper than 0.75H:1V. The presence of perched groundwater may cause caving of the
temporary slopes due to hydrostatic pressure. ESNW should observe site excavations to
confirm the soil type and allowable slope inclination. If the recommended temporary slope
inclination cannot be achieved, temporary shoring may be necessary to support excavations.
Permanent slopes should maintain a gradient of 2HAV, or flatter, and should be planted with
vegetation to enhance stability and to minimize erosion. A representative of ESNW should
observe temporary and permanent slopes to confirm the slope inclinations, and to provide
additional excavation and slope recommendations, as necessary.

Utility Support and Trench Backfill
ES -3220
Page 9
In our opinion, the soils anticipated to be exposed in utility excavations should generally be
suitable for support of utilities. Organic or highly compressible soils encountered in the trench
excavations should not be used for supporting utilities_ The native soils are moisture sensitive
and will therefore be difficult to use as structural trench backfill if the moisture content of the soil
is high. Moisture conditioning of the soils will likely be necessary prior to use as structural
backfill. Utifity trench backfill should be placed and compacted to the specifications of structural
fill provided in this report, or to the applicable City of Renton specifications. Seepage should be
anticipated within utility trench excavations. Caving of the trench sidewails due to hydrostatic
pressure should be anticipated by the contractor.
Pavement Sections
The performance of site pavements is largely related to the condition of the underlying
subgrade. To provide adequate pavement performance, the subgrade should be in a firm and
unyielding condition when subjected to proofrolling with a loaded dump truck. Structural fill in
pavement areas should be compacted as recommended in the "Site Preparation and
Earthwork" section of this report. It is possible that soft, wet, or otherwise unsuitable subgrade
areas may still exist after base grading activities. Areas of unsuitable or yielding subgrade
conditions will require remedial measures such as overexcavation, cement treatment,
placement of a geotextile and thicker crushed rock or structural fill sections prior to pavement.
For lightly loaded pavement areas subjected primarily to passenger vehicles, the following
preliminary pavement sections can be considered:
+ Two inches of hot -mix asphalt (HMA) placed over four inches of crushed rock base
(CRB), or;
• Two inches of HMA placed over three inches of asphalt treated base (ATB).
For relatively high volume, heavily loaded pavements subjected to moderate to high, loaded
truck traffic, the following preliminary pavement sections can be considered:
• Three inches of hot -mix asphalt (HMA) placed over six inches of crushed rock base
(CRB), or;
• Three inches of HMA placed over four and one half inches of asphalt treated base
(ATB)_
The HMA, ATB and CRB materials should conform to WSDOT specifications. All soil base
material should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density. Final
pavement design recommendations can be provided once final traffic loading has been
determined.
Earth Solutions NVV. LLC
American Classic Homes ES -3220
February 5, 2014 Page 10
Given the presence of shallow perched groundwater, in our opinion, additional drainage
measures should be considered for pavement subgrade areas. Such drainage measures could
include the installation of drainlines along the sides of crowned roadways and along the
centerline for roadways with inverted crowns. If areas of seepage are exposed in roadway
excavations, drains should be installed in these areas to allow removal of the water. Specific
recommendations and details for roadway drainage can be provided upon request.
LIMITATIONS
The recommendations and conclusions provided in this geotechnical engineering study are
professional opinions consistent with the level of care and skill that is typical of other members
in the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. A warranty is not
expressed or implied. Variations in the soil and groundwater conditions observed at the test
locations may exist, and may not become evident until construction. ESNW should reevaluate
the conclusions in this geotechnical engineering study if variations are encountered.
Additional Services
ESNW should have an opportunity to review the final design with respect to the geotechnical
recommendations provided in this report. ESNW should also be retained to provide testing and
consultation services during construction_
