I. PROJECT AND SITE CONDITIONS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. 's (AESI's) subsurface
exploration, geologic hazard, and preliminary geotechnical engineering study for the property
(King County Parcel No. 3223059033) located in Renton, Washington (Figure I). The
approximate locations of the explorations accomplished for this study are presented on the
"Site and Exploration Plan," Figure 2. If any changes in the nature, design, or locations of the
site development improvements are planned, the conclusions and recommendations in this
report should be reviewed and modified, or verified.
The recommendations in this report are preliminary because grading plans and construction
details were not finalized at the time of this report. Once development plans are substantially
complete, the conclusions and recommendations in this report should be reviewed and
modified, or verified, as appropriate.
1.1 Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this study was to provide subsurface data and design recommendations for
preliminary design and development of the subject project. This study included a review of
available geologic literature, excavation of exploration pits, and performing geologic studies to
assess the type, thickness, distribution, and physical properties of the subsurface sediments and
shallow ground water conditions. Geologic studies were completed to identify geologic
hazards associated with the site. Where warranted, geologic hazard mitigations are
recommended. Geotechnical engineering studies were also conducted to recommend the type
of suitable foundations, allowable foundation soil bearing pressure, anticipated foundation
settlements, retaining wall lateral pressures, floor support recommendations, drainage
considerations, and erosion mitigation recommendations. This report summarizes our current
fieldwork and offers development recommendations based on our present understanding of the
project.
1. 2 Authorization
Written authorization to proceed with this study was granted by MJF Holdings, Inc. Our study
was accomplished in general accordance with our proposal dated January 20, 2010. This
report has been prepared for the exclusive use of MJF Holdings, Inc. and its agents for specific
application to this project. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget, our services
have been performed in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering and

2.0 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION
2 .1 Site Description
The subject site consists of a rectangular-shaped parcel of approximately 3.24 acres at 18417
116'" Avenue SE in Renton, Washington (Figure 1). The site is bordered by existing single-
family residences on the south and west sides, by 116"' Avenue SE on the east side, and by a
gravel road to the north. An existing home, garage, and carport structures currently occupy
the central portion of the property. The remainder of the site is cleared for pasture with
scattered trees. The topography of the site includes level to gently sloping terrain, with a
moderately sloping swale feature that trends roughly east-west across the northern portion of
the property. A wetland, delineated by others, is located along the bottom of this swale
feature.
2.2 Project Description
Our understanding of the project is based on a layout of the plat, prepared by Centurion ·
Development Services, received via e-mail on January 19, 2010. We understand that
development of the subject property will include a 25-lot, residential subdivision with
associated road and underground utility improvements. An underground storm water detention
vault will be located in the northwest corner of the property. The proposed detention vault is
anticipated to require cuts of approximately 12 feet below existing site grades in this area.
Grading for the site is anticipated to be limited since current topographic relief is
approximately 16 feet. Although not shown on the plans, low rockeries may be used for grade
separation in some areas.
3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
Our field study included excavating a series of exploration pits to gain subsurface information
about the site. The various types of sediments, as well as the depths where characteristics of
the sediments changed, are indicated on the exploration logs presented in the Appendix. The
depths indicated on the logs where conditions changed may represent gradational variations
between sediment types. Our explorations were approximately located in the field by
measuring from known site features shown on a topographic site plan provided by the client.

Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Project and Site Conditions
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based, in part, on the
conditions encountered in the exploration pits completed for this study. The number,
locations, and depths of the explorations were completed within site and budgetary constraints.
Because of the nature of exploratory work below ground, interpolation of subsurface
conditions between the field explorations is necessary. Differing subsurface conditions may be
present outside of the area of the field explorations due to the random nature of deposition and
the alteration of topography by past grading and/or filling. The nature and extent of any
variations between the field explorations may not become fully evident until construction. If
variations are observed at that time, it may be necessary to re-evaluate specific
recommendations in this report and make appropriate changes.
3 .1 Exploration Pits
Exploration pits were excavated with a rubber-tired backhoe. The pits permitted direct, visual
observation of subsurface conditions. Materials encountered in the exploration pits were
studied and classified in the field by an engineering geologist from our firm. Disturbed soil
samples were collected from the pits, placed in moisture-tight containers, and transported to
our laboratory for further visual classification and testing. Testing was generally limited to
visual-manual classification of the collected samples in general accordance with American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard practices. After logging the exposed soils,
all of the exploration pits were backfilled with the excavated soil and lightly tamped with the
excavator bucket.
4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions at the project site were inferred from the exploration pits accomplished
for this study, visual reconnaissance of the site, and review of topography provided on the
topographic site plan. As shown on the exploration logs, the exploration pits generally
encountered consolidated, granular, glacial sediments overlain by a few feet of weathered soils
of similar textural composition. The following section presents more detailed subsurface
information organized from the youngest to the oldest sediment types.
4 .1 Stratigraphy
Fill
Fill soils (soils not naturally placed) were encountered at the location of exploration pit EP-1,
and generally consisted of loose silty sand with gravel, organic material, and plastic debris.
The fill encountered at exploration pit EP-1 was roughly 3 feet in depth and appeared to have

Project and Site Conditions
been placed to create a level area across a portion of the east-west trending swale feature. Fill
is also expected in unexplored areas of the site, such as the area surrounding and under the
existing structure foundations, in existing utility trenches, and in landscape areas and
driveways. Due to their variable density and organic debris content, the existing fill soils are
not suitable for foundation support.
Topsoil
A surficial organic topsoil layer was encountered below the fill at exploration pit EP-1, and
below the ground surface and exploration pits EP-2 through EP-6. The thickness of the topsoil
layer ranged from approximately 6 inches to 1 foot. The organic topsoil is not suitable for
foundation support or for use in a structural fill.
Colluvium
Medium dense silty fine to medium sand was encountered below the topsoil at exploration pit
EB-1. This material also contained trace amounts of organic material and a brecciated texture,
suggesting that this deposit was derived from past earth movement, likely from minor
sloughing at the base of the partially filled east-west trending swale feature. The degree of
weathering displayed in the topmost 2 feet of the colluvium, combined with the medium dense
nature of this soil unit at depth, suggests that this deposit has been in place for some time,
possibly since the time of the last glacial retreat from the region approximately 13,500 years
ago.
Vashon Lodgement Till
Sediments encountered below the topsoil at the locations of exploration pits EP-2 through EP-6
generally consisted of loose to medium dense, silty sand with gravel. These sediments were
observed to generally become dense to very dense below depths of approximately 3 to 5 feet.
We interpret these sediments to be representative of Vashon lodgement till. The Vashon
lodgement till was deposited directly from basal, debris-laden glacial ice during the Vashon
Stade of the Fraser Glaciation approximately 12,500 to 15,000 years ago. The reduced density
observed within 3 to 5 feet of the ground surface is interpreted to be due to weathering. The
high relative density of the unweathered till is due to its consolidation by the massive weight of
the glacial ice from which it was deposited. At the locations of exploration pits EP-2 through
EP-6, the till extended beyond the maximum depths explored.

4.2 Geologic Mapping
Subsu,face Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and
Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Proiect and Site Conditions
Review of the regional geologic map titled Geologic Map of King County, compiled by
D.B. Booth, K.A. Troost, and A.P. Wisher (2006) indicates that the area of the subject site is
underlain by Vashon lodgement till (Qvt). Our interpretation of the sediments encountered at
the subject site is in general agreement with the regional geologic map.
4.3 Hydrology
Ground water seepage was encountered in exploration pits EP-1, EP-2, and EP-5, with
significant seepage noted at EP-1. The seepage was generally limited to a thin zone directly
atop the unweathered till surface, and is interpreted to be representative of interflow. Interflow
occurs when surface water percolates down through the surficial weathered sediments and
becomes perched atop underlying, lower-permeability sediments. It should be noted that the
occurrence and level of ground water seepage at the site may vary in response to such factors
as changes in season, precipitation, and site use. The seepage observed at exploration pit EP-1
may be associated with the delineated wetland at the bottom of the east-west trending swale
feature. Ground water seepage is also common in the vicinity of wetlands or local depressions
that are outside the representative areas of our exploration pits. Exploration for this study was
conducted during the month of February when ground water levels are typically at or near their
seasonal high.

Geologic Hazards and Mitigations
II. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS AND MITIGATIONS
The following discussion of potential geologic hazards is based on the geologic, topographic,
and shallow ground water conditions, as observed and discussed herein.
5.0 SEISMIC HAZARDS AND MITIGATION
Earthquakes occur in the Puget Lowland with great regularity. The vast majority of these
events are small and are usually not felt by people. However, large earthquakes do occur, as
evidenced by the 1949, 7.2-magnitude event; the 2001, 6.8-magnitude event; and the 1965,
6.5-magnitude event. The 1949 earthquake appears to have been the largest in this region
during recorded history and was centered in the Olympia area. Evaluation of earthquake
return rates indicates that an earthquake of the magnitude between 5.5 and 6.0 is likely within
a given 20-year period.
Generally, there are four types of potential geologic hazards associated with large seismic
events: 1) surficial ground rupture, 2) seismically induced landslides, 3) liquefaction, and
4) ground motion. The potential for each of these hazards to adversely impact the proposed
project is discussed below.
5 .1 Surficial Ground Rupture
The nearest known fault trace to the project site is the Seattle Fault Zone located approximately
6 miles to the north. Recent studies by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) (e.g.,
Johnson et al., 1994, Origin and Evolution of the Seattle Fault and Seattle Basin, Washington,
Geology, v. 22, p.71-74; and Johnson et al., 1999, Active Tectonics of the Seattle Fault and
Central Puget Sound Washington -Implications for Eanhquake Hazards, Geological Society of
America Bulletin, July 1999, v. 111, n. 7, p. 1042-1053) have provided evidence of surficial
ground rupture along a northern splay of the Seattle Fault. The recognition of this fault is
relatively new, and data pertaining to it are limited, with the studies still ongoing. According
to the USGS studies, the latest movement of this fault was about 1,100 years ago when about
20 feet of surficial displacement took place. This displacement can presently be seen in the
form of raised, wave-cut beach terraces along Alki Point in West Seattle and Restoration Point
at the south end of Bainbridge Island. The recurrence interval of movement along this fault
system is still unknown, although it is hypothesized to be in excess of several thousand years.
Due to the suspected long recurrence interval, the potential for surficial ground rupture is
considered to be low during the expected life of the structures.

5 .2 Seismically Induced Landslides
Subswface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and
Preliminary Geotechnica/ Engineering Repon
Geologic Hazards and Mitigations
The lodgement till is a high-shear strength, relatively low-permeability material and is not
prone to landsliding given the topographic conditions at the site. In addition, no evidence of
historical landslide activity was observed, such as landslide scarps, hummocky topography,
tension cracks, or unusually distorted or leaning tree trunks. Given the subsurface and
topographic conditions within and adjacent to the proposed development area, and the apparent
lack of historical landslide activity, it is our opinion that the risk of damage to the proposed
project by landsliding under either static or seismic conditions is low. This opinion is
dependent upon site grading and construction practices being completed in accordance with the
geotechnical recommendations presented in this report.
5. 3 Liquefaction
The encountered stratigraphy has a low potential for liquefaction due _to its dense state and lack
of adverse ground water conditions. No mitigation of liquefaction hazards is warranted.
5 .4 Ground Motion
It is our opinion that any earthquake damage to the proposed structures, when founded on
suitable bearing strata in accordance with the recommendations contained herein, would likely
be caused by the intensity and acceleration associated with the event and not any of the above-
discussed impacts. Structural design should follow the 2006 International Building Code IBC.
Information presented by the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program indicates a spectral
acceleration for the project area for short periods (0.2 seconds) of Ss = 1.357 and for a
I-second period of S, = 0 .463. Based on the results of subsurface exploration and on an
estimation of soil properties at depth utilizing available geologic data, Site Class "C", in
conformance with Table 1613.5.2 of the IBC, may be used.
6.0 EROSION HAZARDS AND MITIGATION
As of October 1, 2008, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Construction
Storm Water General Permit (also known as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System [NPDES] permit) requires weekly Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control
(TESC) inspections and turbidity monitoring of site runoff for all sites 1 or more acres in size
that discharge storm water to surface waters of the state. The TESC inspections and turbidity
monitoring of runoff must be completed by a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead
(CESCL) for the duration of the construction. The weekly TESC reports do not need to be
sent to Ecology, but should be logged into the project Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan

Subswface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and
Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Geologic Hazards and Mitigations
(SWPPP). Ecology requires a monthly summary report of the turbidity monitoring results
signed by the NPDES permit holder. If the monitored turbidity equals or exceeds
25 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) (Ecology benchmark standard), the project best
management practices (BMPs) should be modified to decrease the turbidity of storm water
leaving the site. Changes and upgrades to the BMPs should be documented in the weekly
TESC reports and continued until the weekly turbidity reading is 25 NTU or lower. If the
monitored turbidity exceeds 250 NTU, the results must be reported to Ecology via phone
within 24 hours and corrective actions should be implemented as soon as possible. Daily
turbidity monitoring is continued until the corrective actions lower the turbidity to below
25 NTU, or until the discharge stops. This description of the sampling benchmarks and
reporting requirements is a brief summary of the Construction Storm Water General Permit
conditions. The general permit is available on the internet1.
In order to meet the current Ecology requirements, a properly developed, constructed, and
maintained erosion control plan consistent with local standards and best management erosion
control practices will be required for this project. AESI is available to assist the project civil
engineer in developing site-specific erosion control plans. Adjustments and additional
measures to the TESC plan are often required to optimize its effectiveness. Ultimately, the
success of the TESC plan depends on a proactive approach to project planning and contractor
implementation and maintenance.
Maintaining cover measures atop disturbed ground provides the greatest reduction to the
potential generation of turbid runoff and sediment transport. During the local wet season
(October I" through March 31"), exposed soil should not remain uncovered for more than
2 days unless it is actively being worked. Ground-cover measures can include erosion control
matting, plastic sheeting, straw mulch, crushed rock or recycled concrete, or mature
hydroseed.
Surface drainage control measures are also essential for collecting and controlling the site
runoff. Flow paths across slopes should be kept to Jess than 50 feet in order to reduce the
erosion and sediment transport potential of concentrated flow. Ditch/ swale spacing should be
shortened with increasing slope gradient. Ditches and swales that exceed a gradient of 7 to 10
percent, depending on their flow length, should have check dams installed to reduce the flow
velocity of the runoff. Flow paths that are constructed at gradients between 10 to 15 percent
should be placed in a riprap-lined swale. Flow paths constructed on slope gradients steeper
than 15 percent should be placed in a pipe slope drain. AESI is available to assist the project
civil engineer in developing a suitable erosion control plan with proper flow control.

Subswface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and
Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Geologic Hazards and Mitigations
Once very fine sediment is suspended in water, the settling times of the smallest particles are
on the order of weeks and months. Therefore, the typical retention times of sediment traps or
ponds will not reduce the turbidity of highly turbid site runoff to the benchmark turbidity of 25
NTU. Reduction of turbidity from a construction site is almost entirely a function of cover
measures and drainage control that have been implemented prior to rain events. Temporary
sediment traps and ponds are necessary to control the release rate of the runoff and to provide
a catchment for sand-sized and larger soil particles, but are ineffective at reducing the turbidity
of the runoff.
Silt fencing should be utilized as buffer protection and not as a flow-control measure. Silt
fencing should be placed parallel with topographic contours to prevent sediment-laden runoff
from leaving a work area or entering a sensitive area. Silt fences should not be placed to cross
contour lines without having separate flow control in front of the silt fence. A swale/berm
combination should be constructed to provide flow control.
6.1 Erosion Hazard Mitigations
To mitigate the erosion hazards and potential for off-site sediment transport, we recommend
the following:
1. Construction activity should be scheduled or phased as much as possible to reduce the
amount of earthwork activity that is performed during the winter months.
2. The winter performance of a site is dependent on a well-conceived plan for control of
site erosion and storm water runoff. The site TESC plan should include ground-cover
measures, access roads, and staging areas. The selected contractor must implement and
maintain the required measures to reduce the amount of exposed ground. A site
maintenance plan should be in place in the event storm water turbidity measurements
are greater than the Ecology standards.
3. TESC measures for a given area to be graded or otherwise worked should be installed
soon after ground clearing or tree removal. The recommended sequence of
construction within a given area after clearing would be to install sediment traps and/ or
ponds and establish perimeter flow control prior to starting mass grading.
4. During the wetter months of the year, or when large storm events are predicted during
the summer months, each work area should be stabilized so that if showers occur, the
work area can receive the rainfall without excessive erosion or sediment transport. The
required measures for an area to be "buttoned-up" will depend on the time of year and
the duration the area will be left un-worked. During the winter months, areas that are

Subsuiface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and
Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Repon
Geologic Hazards and Mitigations
to be left un-worked for more than 2 days should be mulched or covered with plastic.
During the summer months, stabilization will usually consist of seal-rolling the
subgrade. Such measures will aid in the contractor's ability to get back into a work
area after a storm event. The stabilization process also includes establishing temporary
storm water conveyance channels through work areas to route runoff to the approved
treatment facilities.
5. All disturbed areas should be revegetated as soon as possible. If it is outside of the
growing season, the disturbed areas should be covered with mulch, as recommended in
the erosion control plan. Straw mulch provides a cover measure and can be made
wind-resistant with the application of a tackifier after it is placed.
6. Surface runoff and discharge should be controlled during and following development.
Uncontrolled discharge may promote erosion and sediment transport. Under no
circumstances should concentrated discharges be allowed to flow over the top of
steep slopes.
7. Soils that are to be reused around the site should be stored in such a manner as to
reduce erosion from the stockpile. Protective measures may include, but are not
limited to, covering with plastic sheeting, the use of low stockpiles in flat areas, or the
use of silt fences around pile perimeters. During the period between October 1" and
March 31", these measures are required.
8. On-site erosion control inspections and turbidity monitoring (if required) should be
performed in accordance with Ecology requirements. Weekly and monthly reporting to
Ecology should be performed on a regularly scheduled basis. A discussion of
temporary erosion control and site runoff monitoring should be part of the weekly
construction team meetings. Temporary and permanent erosion control and drainage
measures should be adjusted and maintained, as necessary, for the duration of project
construction.
It is our opinion that with the proper implementation of the TESC plans and by field-adjusting
appropriate mitigation elements (BMPs) throughout construction, as recommended by the
erosion control inspector, the potential adverse impacts from erosion hazards on the project
may be mitigated.

Preliminary Design Recommendations
III. PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
7.0 INTRODUCTION
Our exploration indicates that, from a geotechnical standpoint, the parcel is suitable for the
proposed development provided the recommendations contained herein are properly followed.
The foundation bearing stratum is relatively shallow, and conventional spread footing
foundations may be utilized for the residences. Consequently, foundations bearing on either
the medium dense to very dense, natural sediments, or on structural fill placed over these
sediments, are capable of providing suitable building support.
8.0 SITE PREPARATION
8.1 Clearing and Stripping
Site preparation of the planned building and pavement areas should include removal of all
trees, brush, debris, and any other deleterious materials. These unsuitable materials should be
properly disposed of off-site. Additionally, any areas of organic topsoil should be removed
and the remaining roots grubbed. Topsoil thicknesses in our exploration pits ranged from
6 inches to 12 inches, but may vary outside this range, particularly in the vicinity of wetlands
or any previously disturbed graded areas. Topsoil should be expected to swell by
approximately 25 percent relative to in-place volumes.
Areas where loose surficial soils exist due to grubbing operations or previously filled/disturbed
areas (e.g., EP-1) should be considered as fill to the depth of disturbance and treated as
subsequently recommended for structural fill placement. Any buried utilities should be
removed or relocated if they are under development areas. The resulting depressions should
be backfilled with structural fill, as discussed under the "Structural Fill" section of this report.
After stripping of the organic topsoil layer and removal of roots, we recommend that the soil
exposed in the proposed roadway areas be recompacted to a firm and unyielding condition.
The recompacted area should then be proof-rolled with a fully loaded, tandem-axle dump
truck. Any soft or yielding areas identified during proof-rolling should be overexcavated and
backfilled with structural fill.
8.2 Temporary Cut Slopes
In our opinion, stable construction slopes should be the responsibility of the contractor and
should be determined during construction based on the local conditions encountered at that
time. For planning purposes, we anticipate that temporary, unsupported cut slopes in the loose

JPUtb -KEIOOOJOA2 -Projects\2010003DIKE\WP Page 11

Preliminary Design Recommendations
to medium dense, weathered till or colluvial sediments can be made at a maximum slope of
I.SH: 1 V (Horizontal:Vertical). Temporary cut slopes within the dense to very dense,
unweathered lodgement till up to a IH:IV inclination may be planned. As is typical with
earthwork operations, some sloughing and raveling may occur, and cut slopes may have to be
adjusted in the field. Flatter, temporary cut slopes should be anticipated in areas of ground
water seepage. In addition, WISHA/OSHA regulations should be followed at all times.
8.3 Site Disturbance
The shallow-depth site soils contain a high percentage of fine-grained material, which makes
them moisture-sensitive and subject to disturbance when wet. The contractor must use care
during site preparation and excavation operations so that the underlying soils are not softened.
If disturbance occurs, the softened soils should be removed and the area brought to grade with
structural fill. If crushed rock is considered for the access and staging areas, it should be
underlain by stabilization fabric (such as Mirafi 500X or approved equivalent) to reduce the
potential of fine-grained materials pumping up through the rock and turning the area to mud.
The fabric will also aid in supporting construction equipment, thus reducing the amount of
crushed rock required. We recommend that at least 10 inches of rock be placed over the
fabric; however, due to the variable nature of the near-surface soils and differences in wheel
loads, this thickness may have to be adjusted by the contractor in the field.
9.0 STRUCTURAL FILL
We anticipate that structural fill will be necessary to establish desired grades in some areas and
to re-establish grade after unsuitable soils are removed. All references to structural fill in this
report refer to subgrade preparation, fill type, and placement and compaction of materials, as
discussed in this section. If a percentage of compaction is specified under another section of
this report, the value given in that section should be used.
9.1 Subgrade Compaction
After overexcavation/stripping have been performed to the satisfaction of the geotechnical
engineer/engineering geologist, the upper 12 inches of exposed ground should be compacted to
a firm and unyielding condition. If the subgrade contains too much moisture, suitable
compaction may be difficult or impossible to obtain and should probably not be attempted. In
lieu of compaction of the subgrade surface, the area to receive fill should be blanketed with
washed rock or quarry spalls to act as a capillary break between the new fill and the wet
subgrade. Where the exposed ground remains soft and further overexcavation is impractical,
placement of an engineering stabilization fabric may be necessary to prevent contamination of
the free-draining layer by silt migration from below. The filled area in the vicinity of EP-1

will likely require a rock fill zone and geotextile filter fabric to provide drainage and
separation of the fill from the wet subgrade soils.
After compaction of the exposed ground is tested and approved, or a free-draining rock course
is laid, structural fill may be placed to attain desired grades.
9 .2 Structural Fill Compaction
Structural fill is defined as non-organic soil, acceptable to the geotechnical engineer, placed in
maximum 8-inch loose lifts, with each lift being compacted to at least 95 percent of the
modified Proctor maximum dry density using ASTM:D 1557 as the standard. Roadway and
utility trench backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with applicable municipal
codes and standards. The top of the compacted fill should extend horizontally a minimum
distance of 3 feet beyond the perimeter footings or pavement edges before sloping down at an
angle no steeper than 2H: 1 V. Fill slopes should either be overbuilt and trimmed back to final
grade or surface-compacted to the specified density.
9. 3 Moisture-Sensitive Fill
Soils in which the amount of fine-grained material (smaller than the No. 200 sieve) is greater
than approximately 5 percent (measured on the minus No. 4 sieve size) should be considered
moisture-sensitive. Use of moisture-sensitive soil in structural fills should be limited to
favorable dry weather conditions and near-optimum subgrade moisture. The on-site lodgement
till sediments are suitable for use as structural fill, but contain significant amounts of silt and
are considered highly moisture-sensitive. In addition, construction equipment traversing the
site when the soils are wet can cause considerable disturbance. If fill is placed during wet
weather or if proper compaction cannot be obtained, a select import material consisting of a
clean, free-draining gravel and/or sand should be used. Free-draining fill consists of non-
organic soil with the amount of fine-grained material limited to 5 percent by weight when
measured on the minus No. 4 sieve fraction.
9 .4 Structural Fill Testing
The contractor should note that any proposed fill soils must be evaluated by AESI prior to their
use in fills. This would require that we have a sample of the material at least 3 business days
in advance to perform a Proctor test and determine its field compaction standard.
A representative from our firm should inspect the stripped subgrade and be present during
placement of structural fill to observe the work and perform a representative number of in-
place density tests. In this way, the adequacy of the earthwork may be evaluated as filling
progresses and any problem areas may be corrected at that time. It is important to understand
that taking random compaction tests on a part-time basis will not assure uniformity or

acceptable performance of a fill. As such, we are available to aid the owner in developing a
suitable monitoring and testing frequency.
10.0 FOUNDATIONS
IO. I Allowable Soil Bearing Pressure
Spread footings may be used for building support when founded either directly on the medium
dense to very dense, natural glacial sediments, or on structural fill placed over these materials,
as described under the "Site Preparation" and "Structural Fill" sections of this report. For
footings founded either directly upon the medium dense to very dense natural sediments, or on
structural fill as described above, we recommend that an allowable bearing pressure of
2,500 pounds per square foot (pst) be used for design purposes, including both dead and live
loads. An allowable bearing pressure of 4,000 psf is possible for deeper structures, such as the
proposed detention vault, where all foundation elements are founded on undisturbed dense to
very dense till. An increase of one-third may be used for short-term wind or seismic loading.
10.2 Footing Depths
Perimeter footings for the proposed buildings should be buried a minimum of 18 inches into
the surrounding soil for frost protection. No minimum burial depth is required for interior
footings; however, all footings must penetrate to the prescribed strata, and no footings should
be founded in or above loose, organic, or existing fill soils. Sediments suitable for foundation
support were encountered in most of our explorations at depths of approximately 2 to 5 feet.
10.3 Footings Adjacent to Cuts
The area bounded by lines extending downward at lH: 1 V from any footing must not intersect
another footing or intersect a filled area that has not been compacted to at least 95 percent of
ASTM: D 1557. In addition, a I.SH: 1 V line extending down from any footing must not
daylight because sloughing or raveling may eventually undermine the footing. Thus footings
should not be placed near the edges of steps or cuts in the bearing soils.
10.4 Footing Settlement
Anticipated settlement of footings founded as described above should be on the order of 1 inch
or less. However, disturbed soil not removed from footing excavations prior to footing
placement could result in increased settlements.

10.5 Footing Subgrade Bearing Verification
Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and
Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Repon
Preliminary Design Recommendations
All footing areas should be observed by AESI prior to placing concrete to verify that the
exposed soils can support the design foundation bearing capacity and that construction
conforms with the recommendations in this report. Foundation bearing verification may also
be required by the governing municipality.
10.6 Foundation Drainage
Perimeter footing drains should be provided, as discussed under the "Drainage
Considerations" section of this report. If gravity drainage is not possible, the portion of the
structure below the drain level must be designed for combined soil and hydrostatic/buoyant
forces.
11.0 LATERAL WALL PRESSURES
All backfill behind walls or around foundations should be placed following our
recommendations for structural fill and as described in this section of the report. Horizontally
backfilled walls, which are free to yield laterally at least 0.1 percent of their height, may be
designed using an equivalent fluid equal to 35 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). Fully restrained,
horizontally backfilled, rigid walls that cannot yield should be designed for an equivalent fluid
of 50 pcf. Walls that retain sloping backfill at a maximum angle of 2H: 1 V should be designed
for 55 pcf for yielding conditions and 75 pcf for restrained conditions. If parking areas are
adjacent to walls, a surcharge equivalent to 2 feet of soil should be added to the wall height in
determining lateral design forces. Undrained walls/structures must be designed for combined
soil and hydrostatic pressures (85 pcf for yielding walls, 100 pcf for unyielding walls with
horizontal backfill) and for buoyant/uplift forces.
In accordance with the 2006 IBC, retaining wall design should include seismic design
parameters. Based on the site soils and assumed wall backfill materials, we recommend a
seismic surcharge pressure in addition to the equivalent fluid pressures presented above. A
rectangular pressure distribution of 4H and 8H psf (where H is the height of the wall in feet)
should be included in design for "active" and "at-rest" loading conditions, respectively. The
resultant of the rectangular seismic surcharge should be applied at the midpoint of the walls.
11. l Wall Backfill
The lateral pressures presented above are based on the conditions of a uniform backfill
consisting of either the on-site glacial sediments, or imported sand and gravel compacted to
92 percent of ASTM:D 1557. A higher degree of compaction is not recommended, as this will
increase the pressure acting on the walls. A lower compaction may result in unacceptable

Preliminary Design Recommendations
settlement behind the walls. Thus, the compaction level is critical and must be tested by our
firm during placement. The recommended compaction of 92 percent of ASTM:D 1557 applies
to any structural fill placed behind the wall within a distance equal to the wall height and up to
the elevation of the top of the wall. Structural fill used to construct slopes behind retaining
walls should be compacted to at least 95 percent of ASTM:D 1557 if the fill is placed above
the elevation of the top of the wall. Surcharges from adjacent footings, heavy construction
equipment, or sloping ground must be added to the above-recommended lateral pressures.
Footing drains should be provided for all retaining walls, as discussed under the "Drainage
Considerations" section of this report.
11. 2 Wall Drainage
It is imperative that proper drainage be provided so that hydrostatic pressures do not develop
against the walls. This would involve installation of a minimum, I-foot-wide blanket drain for
the full wall height (excluding the uppermost 1 foot of backfill) using imported washed gravel
against the walls. The wall drain material must be hydraulically connected to the footing drain
pipe. Wall foundation drains are discussed in Section 14.0 of this report.
11. 3 Passive Resistance and Friction Factor
Lateral loads can be resisted by friction between the foundation and the natural, medium dense
to very dense sediments or supporting structural fill soils, or by passive earth pressure acting
on the buried portions of the foundations. The foundations must be backfilled with compacted
structural fill to achieve the passive resistance provided below. We recommend the following
allowable design parameters.
• Passive equivalent fluid = 250 pcf
• Coefficient of friction = 0. 30
12.0 ROCKERIES
Rockeries may be used to prevent erosion of slopes; however, they are not engineered
structures and should not be used in place of retaining walls. Buildings and roads should be
set back from rockeries so that a lH: 1 V line extending up from the rear base of the rockery
does not intersect the footing or pavement. Rockery construction quality depends largely on
the skill of the builder. Although rockeries are commonly used, they should be considered a
long-term maintenance item. Care must be exercised in selecting a rock source since some of
the material presently being supplied is soft and disintegrates in a relatively short period of
time. Samples of rock can be tested by AESI prior to their use in rockeries.

Welman Plat
Renton, Washington
Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and
Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Repon
Preliminary Design Recommendations
It is our understanding that rockery walls will be placed to provide erosion control for
excavations and will also be used as a facing for geogrid-reinforced fill slopes. The following
notes present rockery design and construction considerations. A typical rockery detail for cut
slopes (Figure 3) and for geogrid-reinforced slopes (Figure 4) are included in this report. In
addition, the contractor should confirm that his configuration conforms to current Municipal
specifications.
A) The base of the rockery should be started by excavating a trench to a minimum
depth of 12 inches below subgrade into firm, undisturbed ground. If loose, soft,
or disturbed materials exist at the base rock location, they should be removed
and replaced with free-draining sand and gravel or crushed rock. This backfill
material should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of ASTM:D 1557.
The gradation of the sand and gravel should be such that not more than 5
percent by weight should be finer than the No. 200 sieve, based on the minus
No. 4 sieve.
B) The base rock should have a minimum width (perpendicular to the line of the
rockery) of 40 percent of the height of the rockery. All rocks should also meet
the following weight requirements:
Height of Rockery
Above 5 feet
5 feet or less
Minimum Weight of Rock
200/4,000 pounds, graded, top/bottom rocks
200/700 pounds, graded, top/bottom rocks
C) The rock material should all be as nearly rectangular as possible. No stone
should be used which does not extend through the wall. The rock material
should be hard, sound, durable, and free from weathered portions, seams,
cracks, or other defects. The rock density should be a minimum of 160 pcf.
D) Rock selection and placement should be such that there will be minimum voids
and, in the exposed face of the wall, no open voids over 8 inches across in any
direction. The rocks should be placed in a manner such that the longitudinal
axis of the rock will be at right angles or perpendicular to the rockery face.
Each rock should be placed so as to lock into two rocks in the lower tier. After
setting each rock course, all voids between the rocks should be chinked on the
back with quarry rock to eliminate any void sufficient to pass a 2-inch-square
probe. The rockery should be limited to 8 feet in height.

Preliminary Design Recommendations
E)
F)
A drain consisting of rigid, perforated, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe enclosed
in a 12-inch-wide pea gravel trench should be placed behind the lower course of
rock to remove water and prevent the buildup of hydrostatic pressure behind the
wall. The remainder of the wall backfill should consist of quarry spalls with a
maximum size of 4 inches and a minimum size of 2 inches. This material
should be placed to a 12-inch-minimum thickness between the entire wall and
the cut material. The backfill material should be placed in lifts to an elevation
approximately 6 inches below the top of each course of rocks as they are placed
until the uppermost course is placed. Any backfill material falling onto the
bearing surface of a rock course should be removed before the setting of the
next course.
Any asphalt paving should be sloped to drain away from the rockery. In
addition, the areas above rockeries should be planted with grass as soon as
possible after rockery construction to reduce erosion.
13.0 FLOOR SUPPORT
Slab-on-grade floors may be constructed either directly on the medium dense to very dense
natural sediments, or on structural fill placed over these materials. Areas of the slab subgrade
that are disturbed (loosened) during construction should be recompacted to an unyielding
condition prior to placing the pea gravel, as described below.
If moisture intrusion through slab-on-grade floors is to be limited, the floors should be
constructed atop a capillary break consisting of a minimum thickness of 4 inches of washed pea
gravel. The pea gravel should be overlain by a 10-mil (minimum thickness) plastic
vapor retarder.
14.0 DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
The unweathered till sediments encountered in our explorations at depths of approximately 3 to
5 feet below ground surface are relatively impermeable, and water will tend to perch atop this
stratum. Additionally, traffic across the till sediments when they are very moist or wet will
result in disturbance of the otherwise firm stratum. Therefore, prior to site work and
construction, the contractor should be prepared to provide drainage and subgrade protection,
as necessary.

14.1 Wall/Foundation Drains
Subsuiface Exploration, Geologic Hazard, and
Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Repol1
Preliminary Design Recommendations
All retaining and perimeter footing walls should be provided with a drain at the footing
elevation. The drains should consist of rigid, perforated, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe
surrounded by washed pea gravel. The level of the perforations in the pipe should be set
approximately 2 inches below the bottom of the footing, and the drains should be constructed
with sufficient gradient to allow gravity discharge away from the structures. All retaining
walls should be lined with a minimum, 12-inch-thick, washed gravel blanket provided to
within 1 foot of finish grade, and which ties into the footing drain. Roof and surface runoff
should not discharge into the footing drain system, but should be handled by a separate, rigid,
tightline drain.
Exterior grades adjacent to walls should be sloped downward away from the structures to
achieve surface drainage. Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage
away from the buildings at all times. Water must not be allowed to pond or to collect adjacent
to foundations or within the immediate building areas. It is recommended that a gradient of at
least 3 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet from the building perimeters be provided,
except in paved locations. In paved locations, a minimum gradient of 1 percent should be
provided unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface water adjacent to
the structures. Additionally, pavement sub grades should be crowned to provide drainage
toward catch basins and pavement edges. Crawl space areas should be provided with drains at
low points to prevent water from accumulating.
15.0 PROJECT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
The recommendations in this report are preliminary because grading plans and construction
details were not finalized at the time of t!J.is report. We are available to provide additional
geotechnical consultation as the project design develops and possibly changes from that upon
which this report is based. If significant changes in grading are made, we recommend that
AESI perform a geotechnical review of the plans prior to final design completion. In this way,
our earthwork and foundation recommendations may be properly interpreted and implemented
in the design.
We are also available to provide geotechnical engineering and monitoring services during
construction. The integrity of the foundations depends on proper site preparation and
construction procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may have to be made in the field
in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent. Construction monitoring
services are not part of this current scope of work. If these services are desired, please let us
know, and we will prepare a proposal.

Technical Information Report -Welman Plat
SECTION 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW
The proposed project is the subdivision of approximately 3.24 acres into 25 single-
family detached residences. The Welman Plat is located at 18417 1161h Ave SE, in
Renton. Tax parcel number 3223059033 which is sited within the NE Y., SE Y., Section
32, T 23, R 5 E. Please see Figure 1: Vicinity Map.
Existing Site Conditions:
The site is currently developed with a single family residence that contains a garage and
carport. The site vegetation can be generally characterized as a grass with scattered
trees. The majority of the site slopes toward a swale located in the northwest portion of
the parcel which is classified as a Class 4 wetland. This wetland drains toward an
existing subdivision located west of the site, see Figure 2: Existing Conditions Map.
The existing onsite soils are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam per the Natural
Resources Conservation Service -Web Soil Survey. Please see Figure 3: SCS Soils
Map. Table 3.2.2.B of the KCSWDM classifies the soils as Till, a copy of the table is
included in Appendix A for reference.
Developed Site Conditions:
The project consists of the subdivision of the property into 25 single-family detached
residences. Access to the residences will be provided a public road extending off of SE
134th St. Frontage improvements will consist of improvements to 115th Ave SE and
construction of a portion of SE 1841h St west of 115th Ave SE, see Figure 4: Developed
Conditions Map.
Stormwater runoff from the project will be collected and routed to a detention vault that
will be located in the northwest corner of the site. The detention vault will outfall into the
existing Class 4 wetland, which is the sites natural discharge location. Water quality will
be provided via dead storage in the proposed detention vault.

A Level -1 Offsite Analysis was prepared for the site by Site Development Associates,
LLC dated June 13, 2007. This analysis was reviewed and approved with the
preliminary engineering and is included in Appendix B for reference.
J3ME 8
Technical Information Report -Welman Plat
SECTION 4: FLOW CONTROL & WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
A hydrologic analysis of the site was completed in order to determine the required
detention and water quality treatment volume necessary. The site was analyzed for the
pre-developed and developed conditions using the King County Continuous Runoff
Time Series (KCRTS) hydrograph model using the KCRTS software developed and
provided by the King County Surface Water Management Division.
Part A -Existing Site Hydrology
The site is currently developed with a single family residence that contains a garage and
carport. The site vegetation can be generally characterized as grass with scattered
trees. The southerly portion of the site is fairly flat with slopes less than 5%, while the
northwest portion of the site slopes to an existing swale at approximately 20%. This
swale is classified as a Class 4 wetland which drains westerly toward an existing
subdivision located west of the site; see Figure 2: Existing Conditions Map. As
described in the downstream analysis, the southerly portion of the site sheet flows
toward the west where it eventually joins runoff from swale/wetland portion of the site.
Therefore, the site is a single threshold discharge area. A Stormwater Adjustment was
approved by King County during preliminary review, which allows all stormwater to be
directed to the existing swale/wetland. A copy of the approved Adjustment has been
included in Appendix B for reference.
A small amount of offsite road shoulder area along 1161h Ave SE near SE 1841h St. will
be included in the existing conditions due to the construction of the frontage
improvements (Offsite Area A). The southerly portion of the 1161h Ave SE frontage
improvements will be collected and conveyed to the roadside ditch on the east side of
the street (Offsite Area B). This area is less than 5,000 sf and therefore does not
require detention, as approved with the Preliminary Design by King County. Additionally
a small amount of upstream tributary area will flow onto the site from the north (Offsite
Area C). This will be collected and passed through the detention vault.
The detention system is designed to meet the 2005 King County Stormwater
Requirements for Conservation Flow Control. Therefore, the existing conditions are
required to be modeled as forest. As a conservative assumption, the wetland area
within future Lots 1 and 2 was also considered to be forest rather than wetland. The
area within C.A.T. G (0.25 ac) was excluded from the calculations as it will be
downstream of the development and stormwater system, and can be considered
unchanged in the developed conditions.

The project consists of the subdivision of the site into 25 single-family detached
residences. Access to the residences will be provided a public road extending off of SE
184th St. Frontage improvements will consist of improvements to 115th Ave SE and
construction of a portion of SE 184th St west of 1161h Ave SE, see Figure 4: Developed
Conditions Map.
Stormwater runoff from the site will be collected and routed to a detention vault that will
be located in the northwest corner of the site. The detention vault will outfall into the
existing Class 4 wetland, which is the sites natural discharge location. Critical Areas
Track G will remain unchanged and therefore not included in the analysis.
Approximately 0.1 ac of backyard grass area from Lots 6-8 will be bypassed in the
developed condition. This bypass area is accounted for by using the Point of
Compliance Analysis method in KCRTS modeling. Water quality will be provided via
dead storage in the proposed detention vault.

The project site is located in the Black River Basin which is within the Green River
Watershed. The design will meet the Conservation Flow Control Standard set forth in
the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) Section 1.2.3.1.B.
This standard mandates maintaining the durations of high flows at their predevelopment
levels for all flows greater than one-half of the 2-year peak flow, up to the 50-year peak
J3ME 11
Technical Information Report -Welman Plat
flow and matching the 2 and 10-year predeveloped peak flows. The predevelopment
conditions are to be modeled usirig the historic site conditions (forested) in order to
provide a hydrologic regime that more closely resembles the conditions to which local
aquatic species have adapted.
The area-specific water quality treatment was determined to be Basic Water Quality per
the Water Quality Applications Map in the 2005 KCSWDM. This standard is generally
applied to areas outside of the drainage basin of sensitive lakes or sphagnum bog
wetlands. Water quality treatment facilities are designed to treat flows up to and
including the water quality design flow and provide minimum 80 percent Total
Suspended Solids removal.
Part D -Flow Control System
The detention/water quality vault system was designed for the project site and provides
6 feet of active storage depth. The vault outfall will be via a 12-inch pipe to a level
spreader that will disperse flows into the onsite wetland.

The volume required to adequately detail runoff generated by the project site is 35L6AO
cubic feet. The proposed vault will provide 6 feet of active storage depth and will be
104 feet long and 60 feet wide, which will provide ~s (volume utilized by internal
walls subtracted). This will provide a 3% factor of safety. See Appendix A for
complete KCRTS vault sizing output.
Part E -Water Quality System
Water quality for the proposed development will be provided by a wet vault sized per
King County standards. Wet vaults maintain a permanent pool of water and treat
stormwater during the relatively long residence time within the vault.

= 3.0 (3,804) = 11 412 ft3
Where:
V, = Runoff Volume from Mean Annual Storm ( cf)
A, = Area of Impervious Surface (sf)
A,9 = Area of Till Grass + Pasture ( sf)
V 0 = Required Wetpool Volume (cf)
f = Volume Factor (3.0 for basic ponds)
R = Rainfall from Mean Annual Storm (ft)
(from KCSWDM Figure 6.4.1.A)
Through the analysis, the required volume of the wetpool was determined to be 11,412
cubic feet. This volume will be provided under the live storage volume within the
proposed detention/water quality vault.

Technical Information Report -Welman Plat
SECTION 5: CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The onsite conveyance system contains 14 catchments with 3.23 acres of total tributary
area. Please see Figure 5: Conveyance Basins Map.
The analysis was completed using the Storm Sewers 2005 computer analysis model,
which calculates flows in accordance with the Rational Method. The runoff coefficient for
each catchment was calculated using a weighted average, assuming 0.9 for impervious
and 0.25 for grass, which results in an overall C value of 0.69. AC value of 0.7 was used
as a conservative assumption in the model. This accounts for all areas within the project,
including roadway, yards, footing drains, driveways and roof downspouts.
The conveyance modeling demonstrates that the proposed system is capable of
conveying the 100-year runoff from the site without overtopping any of the catch basins.
This exceeds the required performance of conveying the 25-year event without
overtopping. Please see the Storm Sewers output in Appendix A, which demonstrates
the freeboard available at each structure.
Riser Design
The detention vault will use a 12-inch riser to control flows. Using Figure 5.3.4.H of the
2005 KCSWDM, the riser flow rate can be determined during an overflow condition. The
figure shows that a 12-inch riser with 0.5 feet of head can flow approximately 1. 75 cfs,
which is greater then the modeled flowrate of 1.24 cfs. The KCSWDM Figure is included
in Appendix A.
Outfall Design
All flows exiting the detention vault will be dispersed into the onsite wetland using two
level spreaders and an energy dissipater. The level spreaders will be constructed in
accordance with Figure 4.2.2.N of the KCSWDM and be limited to 0.5 cfs by using orifice
plates. Any flows beyond 1.0 cfs will overtop the energy dissipater as weir flow. During a
100-year event less than 0.3 cfs will flow over the dissipater rim with an approximate
height of 0.12 feet. Complete design calculations are included in Appendix A.

SECTION 8: ESC ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
To develop the project site, several Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be
implemented. Other temporary erosion and sediment control may occur during the
duration of the project depending on weather conditions, clearing operations, and
excavation and fill placement. The on-site soils are mapped as Alderwood series.
Alderwood material have slow permeability, runoff potential is slow to medium, and a
moderate to severe erosion hazard. Specific TESC measures to be implemented include
the following:
• Filter fabric fencing
• Temporary Catch Basin Filters will be installed inside the catch basins downstream of
the site.
• Rock construction entrance may be constructed at the entrance to the project area.
Given that the existing driveway is covered with hard packed gravel, a note has been
added to the construction plan that allows this BMP to be waived pending the approval
of the City Inspector.
• The proposed detention vault will be utilized as a temporary sediment control facility.
A temporary flow control riser utilizing a float system will be installed. Please see the
TESC plans for additional details and sizing calculations.
• Rock lined interceptor swales will be provided to direct flows to the TESC pond while
slowing flow velocity to below erosive levels.
• Seeding with an appropriated City approved seed mix will be performed on all areas of
the project site not covered with impervious surfaces.
• A construction sequence is provided to help direct the contractor as to the appropriate
construction steps that will help minimize erosion.
A KCRTS runoff analysis was completed to size the proposed sediment pond. The model
output is included in Appendix A.

Notes:
1. Where outwash soils are saturated or underlain at shallow depth (<5 feet) by glacial till, they should
be treated as till soils.
2. These are bedrock soils, but calibration of HSPF by King County DNRP shows bedrock soils to
have similar hydrologic response to till soils.
3. These are alluvial soils, some of which are underlain by glacial till or have a seasonally high water
table. In the absence of detailed study, these soils should be treated as till soils.
4. Buckley soils are formed on the low-permeability Osceola mudflow. Hydrologic response is
assumed to be similar to that of till soils.

WELMAN SUBDIVISION
Level One Downstream Analysis
Project Description
The purpose of this report is to present-a Level one downstream analysis of Welman Subdivision in accordance with
King County requirements.
The proposed project will subdivide the site into 25 single-family housing lots. In addition to the roadways, the proposed
project will include all utilities and other improvements necessary to accommodate the new lots. Detention will be
provided for in a vault on site. Water quality will be done with a wet vault under the proposed detention vault.
This report addresses the storm drainage issues associated with the subdivision of the property, and construction of the
new homes and access roads. The design standards addressed for this report are contained in King County Code and
the King County Surface Water Design Manual.
Review of the 8 Core Requirements and 5 Special Requirements of the 1998 King County
Surface Water Design Manual
SDA has reviewed the Core and Special Requirements in Chapter 1 of the King County Surface Water Design Manual,
and addresses each of the requirements as follows:
Core Requirement No. 1 -Discharge at Natural Location
Currently the site discharges to the northwest and southwest comers of the site. Discharge to the northwest is through a
small swale, which drains into the Emerald Glen subdivision, adjacent and to the west. This swale has been identified as
a Class 4 Wetland. Discharge from the southwest corner of the site travels via overland flow to the southwest corner of
the site. From here stormwater travels via overland flow through an adjacent residential Joi in the Walhaven Plat, before
entering the conveyance system located within SE 186"' Street. From here runoff travels west down SE 186"' Street to
114th Avenue SE, where ii turns north and joins with the runoff that exits the site along the northwest corner. Runoff is
then routed through a slormwater detention facility built for the Emerald Glen subdivision. This is a multiple natural
discharge and a single threshold discharge area.
Runoff from the developed site will be collected and conveyed via a light line system to a detention vault located in the
northwest corner of the site. The runoff will exit this vault and be conveyed to the northwest property line and discharged
into the existing Class 4 Wefland. The proposed project will discharge stormwater from the entire site to the northwest
corner of the properly. A drainage adjustment will be requested for this change.
Core Requirement No. 2 -Offsite Analysis
Task 1: Define and Map Study Area
This project is located west of 1161h Avenue SE, in unincorporated King County, Washington. The property address is
18417 116th Avenue SE, Renton. The project consists of one tax parcel; 3223059033. The property is approximately
3.24 acres. The property will be divided into 25 residential lots. All of these lots will gain access from a newly
constructed public road that runs through the subdivision, one access on 116h Ave SE.
The properties to the north, west, and south are zoned R-8. The property adjacent and to the west, known as Emerald
Glen, was platted in 1996, and is fully built out. The properties to the south, along SE 186th Street, have been developed
into single-family residential lots. To the north, there are some larger, undeveloped parcels, which are also zoned R-8.
The properties to the east of 1161h Ave SE are zoned R-6, and are partially developed, with several homes on large
parcels.
The analysis of the basin boundary indicates that the project is in the Black River Drainage Basin. See Figure 1 for a
vicinity map of the project and Figure 2 in (both in Appendix A) for an existing site survey of the project. Figure 3 in
WELMAN SUBDIVISION
Level One Downstream Analysis 1
Appendix A shows the proposed site plan for the development. There is an existing houses and associated outbuildings
located on several parcels. All of the existing structures are lo be demolished during plat construction.
Task 2: Review all Available Information on the Study Area
Critical Drainage Area Map
• Black River Drainage Basin
• Duwamish -Green River Watershed
• Duwamish-Green WRIA (9)
Flood plain/floodway (FEMA) Maps
• There are no mapped floodplains in the immediate area per the available FEMA map. The site is located in
Zone X per the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) map number 53033C0991 F. See Figure 5 in Appendix A for
a copy of the FIRM map.
Sensitive Areas
• Wetlands -Recent site investigations conducted indicate that there is a wetland located on the site. A wetland
report, completed in April 2005 by Habitat Technologies, was provided to us by the property owner. The wetland
report indicates that a small Category 4 Wetland is present on the site. Altmanri Oliver Associates (AOA) was
retained to conduct a field visit, and to review the wetland report and address the wetland classification and
provide guidance related to wetland buffers and potential impact and mitigation alternatives. It appears that the
wetland could be filled, with mitigation measures on site (creation of additional wetlands), and that the buffer
width could be reduced lo 25' with buffer enhancements. From our site visit, there does not appear to be any
streams, steep slopes, or wildlife habitat on the site
. • Streams and 100 Year Flood Plains -There are no streams or flood plains mapped on site.
• Erosion Hazard Areas -There are no mapped erosion hazard areas ori site.
• Landslide Hazard Areas -There are no landslide hazard areas mapped in this area.
• Seismic Hazard Areas -This site is not within in a mapped seismic hazard area.
• Coal Mine Hazard Areas -None mapped in this area.

Level One Downstream Analysis
Task 3: Field Inspect the Study Area
A representative of Site Development Associates, LLC (SDA) made a site visit to the property on December 15, 2005.
The weather conditions were dry, 35 degrees and cloudy. The field investigation covered approximately Y. mile
downstream of the site.
Task 4: Describe the Drainage System, and its Existing and Predicted Problems
Upstream Drainage Analysis:
This site is located near the edge of the Black River Drainage Basin. There is no upstream runoff that enters the site.
On-Site Drainage Analysis:
The property is approximately 3.24 acres in size, and has approximately 400 LF of frontage on 1161h Avenue SE. The
site generally slopes to the north and west. The southern half of the site is on a relatively flat, grassy plateau and
contains an existing house, a garage, and a carport, which are located in the center of the property. The northern half of
the property is also characterized by largely grass areas, and slopes down from the southern plateau toward a small
swale, which drains into the subdivision adjacent and to the west. This swale has been identified as a Class 4 Wetland,
and is addressed in the following pages of this report. The majority of the site is grassy pasture, with scattered trees of
varying size throughout the site. Please see Figures 2 & 3 for aerial views and general topographical information. The
property appears to be frequently maintained, and the grass mowed regularly.
Downstream Drainage Analysis:
The project site and surrounding vicinity was visited on July 14, 2006. The weather conditions were warm and dry, and
no precipitation having recently occurred. No surface flow was visible during the site visit. A brief description of the
downstream drainage path is included below. See the Appendix B for an off-site Analysis Drainage System Table and
map.
The majority of the site drains towards the northwest to a swale classified as a Class 4 wetland, located near the western
boundary of the site. These wetlands drain offsite to the west (see photo #'s 1 & 2) where they drain into the enclosed
drainage system for the Emerald Glen Plat. This system flows southwesterly SE 185th Place, to 114th Ave. SE, which lies
approximately 400 feet downstream of the project site.
From this point, runoff continues southerly along 114th Ave. SE for a short distance, then turns westerly (see photo #3),
beneath an access driveway, before entering a detention facility (see photo #4) approximately 625 feet downstream of
the site .. The outfall from this pond could not be located, but from the regional topography, and from a prior drainage
investigation, it appears that the pond outfalls to. the west. A 1 O' drainage easement exists along the back of the lots
adjacent to SE 186th Street. It is likely that this easement contains a conveyance pipe, however, no pipe could be
located. It appears that flow continues westerly from the detention facility to 112'h Ave. SE.
Upon reaching 112th Ave. SE, the runoff is intercepted by the public storm drainage system, and is conveyed northerly to
a catch basin which lies just north of SE 1841
h Pl. From this catch basin, runoff is conveyed westerly to a second, larger
detention facility (see photo #'s 5 & 6), approximately 1,400 feet downstream of the project site. The outfall from this
detention pond appears to be at the southwest corner of the pond, and runoff appears to be conveyed to the west from
this outfall (see photo #7). The remainder of the downstream flowpath is beyond the Y.-mile distance required for this
analysis.
WELMAN SUBDIVISION
Level One Downstream Analysis
Drainage Complaints:
Review of the King County Drainage complaints indicates that there are two relevant drainage complaints recorded
downstream of the site within the last 10 years. These complaints are included in Appendix B of this report.·
Task 5: Addressing Mitigation of Existing and Potential Problems
The development of this project is not expected to have an adverse impact to the downstream drainage system.
Drainage for the 25 lot subdivision will meet King County requirements for detention and water quality. Portions of the
Class 4 wetland will be filled as a result of this project. Mitigation measures will be employed to ensure that the
remaining wetland will continue to operate hydraulically in the same manor as before the subdivision. A sensitive area
tract for the wetland and buffers is provided. There should be no impact to the downstream system as a direct result of
this project.
Core Requirement No. 3 -Flow Control
The proposed project is located in a Level 2 Flow Control Area. The Level 2 Flow Control requires the developed flow
rates discharge to the predeveloped flow rates ranging from 50% of the 2-year peak flow up to the full 50-year peak flow.
See Appendix C for preliminary detention calculations.
The project currently contains two separate discharge locations, however, the two discharge points converge within Y.-
mile of the site, so the project is assumed to be contained within a single basin. The project proposes the re-aligning of
an existing intersection, on the east side of 116"' Avenue SE, near the northeast comer of the site. This improvement is
being completed in order to align the intersection with the project's proposed intersection. The east side of 116"' Avenue
SE lies in a separate basin than the project, and the proposed improvements there will add less than 5,000 square feet of
new imprervious surface, so no flow control is proposed there.
Core Requirement No. 4 -Conveyance System
As part of the final engineering design for this project, it will be required to demonstrate that the storm drainage system
can convey the peak flow from 25-year storm event, and that the 100-year storm event does not create or aggravate a
"severe flooding problem".
Core Requirement No. 5 -Erosion and Sediment Control
In order to protect the downstream conditions from sediments, several erosion control Best Management Practices
(BMP's) from the King County Surface Water Design Manual will be utilized. During and after grading, and during house
construction, the site will be stabilized with appropriate BMP's consisting of silt fencing, mulching and hydroseeding. A
temporary construction entrance will be installed for construction related traffic. Filter fabric will be placed over catch
basin grates. All yard areas will be landscaped.
Additionally, limiting earthwork and utility construction activities to dry weather conditions, minimizing area and duration of
soil exposure, construction of temporary storage basins and protective dikes to control storm runoff, and stockpiling and
sheathing of strippings, will further reduce the potential for silt-laden runoff. Interim measures to be employed during
construction will include the construction of sediment basins, the installation of silt fences along the low side of the areas
to be cleared and graded, and mulching and hydroseeding of exposed soils after attainment of final grade. Stockpiles
will be covered with polyethylene sheathing. Additional erosion control measures by individual builders are
recommended during construction of houses. These should include installation of a silt fence at the roadside, placing a
bed of builder's sand between the house and the street, and covering stockpiles.

Drainage Complaint
Number 2002-0314
This drainage complaint applies to the property at 18524 114'" Ave. SE. The complaint appears to be a Type 1
(nuissance) complaint. The property owner claims that an adjacent property is discharging flow to the complaintant
property. King County listed the complaint as a private drainage dispute, and issued standard handouts to the property
owner. No further action appears to have been taken by the County.
The subject property and tributary properties are in the general vicinity of the downstream analysis, however, neither
property appear to be directly in the downstream flowpath. Flow from the Welman subdivision is collected and conveyed
around the complaintant property, and it does not appear that the Welman development will have any affect on this
drainage complaint.

Complaint 2002-0314 Irwin
Investigated by Andrew McDonald on April 25, 2002
Visited site and met with Deborah Irwin and discussed her property's rear yard drainage problem.
Ms. Irwin experiences a wet rear yard during the rainy season and complains that water is
flowing from properties to the east onto her property. In particular, she says, water is draining
from a paved area serving Lot 11 to the east. Ms. Irwin assumed the driveway, which accesses
Lot 11, was a County right-of-way and therefore we were responsible for water coming from the
east. I explained to her that it was a private driveway that serves Lot 11 and therefore was a
private drainage problem between two property owners. I told her I would look at the design of
the drainage system for her development and if there weie'.any lines in or near her rear yard I
would be back out to investigate. There are no drainags, lines in or near her rear yard per the as-
built for the development of Emerald Glen. At the time of my site visit there was no water in the
rear yard. However, there Was saturation of the rear yard. Grass growth·was moderate in its
density and half of it was yellow. Per the complainant, water "gushes" out of an area of plantings
along her rear property line. I could find no direct source outletting water. From the way the
property behind her is graded it is possible that water is sheetflowing across their lots and onto
hers .

Drainage Complaint
18504 1121h Ave SE
No formal drainage complaints are on file at King County for this property. However, during King County's field review for
the Welman Subdivision, County staff were apparently approached by the property owner regarding a drainage problem
on the property. King County has requested that the property owner be contacted and interviewed regarding their
drainage complaint.
Site Development Associates contacted Judy Bryant, the property owner, in June of 2007. She indicated that her
property was experiencing periodic Type 1 (nuissance) flooding problems. Based on the local hydrologic features, and
topographical information available in the area, it is likely that the flooding problem originates east of her property,
possibly near the discharge of an upstream detention facility. Ms. Bryant indicated that she had previously lived in the
house immediately south of her current residence, and recalls that there is a 10' drainage easement across the back of
the lots adjacent to her. This was verified on King County Assesor mapping. This easement most-likely contains a
conveyance pipe, which is intended to carry flow from west from the upstream detention facility. A pipe could not be
localed during the field-investigation, and it's possible that ii is buried, and not functioning correctly.
From my conversation with Ms. Bryant, it appears that flooding has been limited to her yard, and that flooding events are
periodic. It was unclear whether a flooding event had taken place within the past year.
The property in question lies directly in the downstream flowpath of the proposed Welman development. However, the
property is required to meet King County Level-Two flow control standards. This standard is intended to ensure that
peak flows and peak flow durations are not exceeded for all flows ranging up to the 50-yr design storm event. With this
in mind, the drainage is not likely lo be further aggravated by the proposed development. Location and maintenance of
the existing detention pipe in the adjacent lots would be the logical first step in alleviating the problem.

RE: Welman Subdivision 2005 KCSWDM Adjustment Request (File No. L07V0085)
Dear Applicant and Engineer:
The Department of Development and Environmental Services (ODES), Land Use Services
Division (LUSD), Site Engineering Review Section, has completed review of the adjustment
request for the Welman Subdivision. You are requesting approval for an adjustment from the
2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual (SWDM) Section 1.2.1, Discharge at the
Natural Location. Our review of the infonnation provides the following findings:
I. The proposed Welman subdivision is located at 18417 116th Avenue SE in Renton. The
25 lot, 3.24 acre, proposed subdivision is filed under Land Use Services Division(LUSD)
file number L06P0009.
2 .. The Welman subdivision isJocated in the Black River Drainage Basin. The site is
. subject to the Conservation flow control and Basic water quality requirements of the
2005 KCSWDM.
3. Currently the site discharges to the northwest, southwest, and south.
• Discharge from the north portion of the site travels via overland flow to the northwest
through a small swale, which drains into the Emerald Glen subdivision, adjacent and
to the west. This swale has· been identified as a Class 4 Wetland. ·
• Discharge from the southwest portion of the site travels via overland flow to the
southwest corner of the site. Runoff then travels west down SE 186th Street to 114th
Ave SE, where it turns north and joins with the runoff that exits the site along the ·
northwest comer.
• Discharge from the southeast portion of the site travels via overland flow to the south.
Runoff then travels west down SE 186th Street to I l 4th Ave SE, wl:iere it turns north
and joins with the runoff that exits the site along the northwest corner.
L07V0085
January 24, 2008
Page2
• All runoff from the site is routed through an infiltration facility built for the Emerald
Glen subdivision. The point where the three downstream flow paths combine is less
than 400 feet downstream of the site. There is no upstreanJ runoff that enters the site.
4. The proposal is to collect most runoff from the project site and direct it to a single
detention and water quality facility.located at the northwest comer of the property. The
allowed release would then be discharged to the existing Class 4 Wetland. The diversion
would eliminate flows to the southwest and south of the project.
5. No decorative ponds or shallow wells have been identified that would be affected by the
proposed diversion.
6. The Level One Downstream Analysis identified the following drainage complaints:
• A drainage complaint at 18504 ! 12th Ave SE (Parcel# 3223059287) was made on
January 2, 1997 dwing construction of the Emerald Glen Infiltration Pond
(EGIP). The EGIP was confirmed to experience an overflow event while under
construction. The EGIP final corrected plans show a plan revision to the pond.
which called for the replacement of the sand-filter media at the bottom of the
pond and drilling ofsevei-al bore-holes, and backfill of the holes with drain tock.
There have been no further drainage complaints regarding this specific facility
since the date of the plan revision ..
• Five drainage complaints dating from December 20, 1994 to January 30, 1997
describe the Ruddell Detention Pond (Facility #D90914) overflowing or backing-
up, inundating the adjacent roads and lots. King County performed a capital
improvement project on this facility, and the nearby tributary pipe system several
years ago. .
There have been no drainage complaints in this vicinity logged since January 30, 1997.
Additionally, the site was visited on Deceinber 3, 2007. On this day, the Puget Sound
area experienced a significant storm event which caused localized flooding within the
region and approached a I 00-year design storm event in most local event -'based
hydrologic models. The site was visited just a few hours after the peak intensity of this
storm had passed, and there was no standing water observed in the EGIS or in the
surrounding vicinity and the Riddell pond appeared to be at a normal operating level.
7. A consolidation of facilities for the proposed subdivision will be rnore economical in
long term maintenance.
Based on these findings, we hereby approve this adjustment to allow the diversion of runoff to
on-site facility (draining to SE 312th Street) with the following conditions:
1. The release rates for the detention facility will be based on the land naturally draining
from the site in all directions.
L07V0085
January 24, 2008
Page 3
2._. The volume fo~ the detention facility will be based -0n-a!Hlows directed to the facility at ·
full development under currerrt zoning. The allowed release rate will be reduced by any
undetained flows that would bypass the proposed subdivision.drainage facilities. The
detention volume shall be sized using the Conservation flow control standard in the 2005
KCSWDM. The design Technical Information Report shall state the factor of safety
selected and the basis of that determination. ·
3. Water quality facilities must be sized based on the entire proposed subdivision draining
to the facilities including any required frontage improvements.
4. The onsite drainage facilities must be located in a public right-of-way, recreation space
tract with easement or storm drainage tract dedicated to King County.
5. Conveyance (from the RID facility) in a closed pipe system must be in accordance with
Core Requirement #4.
6. Additional storm drainage requirements identified by SEPA or the plat hearing ·review
will apply to this project. The applicant retains all rights and privileges afforded in
Section I .4. ' · · ·
If you have any further questions regarding the SWDM variance or the design requirements,
please contact Claire Jonson at (206) 296-6641. ·
