I. PROJECT AND SITE CONDITIONS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our subsurface exploration, geologic hazards, and
preliminary geotechnical engineering studies for the proposed improvements to Lindbergh
High School. The site location is shown on Figure 1, "Vicinity Map." The approximate
locations of the exploration borings completed for this study are shown on the "Site and
Exploration Plan," Figure 2. Logs of the subsurface explorations completed for this study are
included in the Appendix. _
1.1 Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this study was to provide geotechnical engineering design recommendations to
be utilized in the preliminary design of the project. This study included a review of selected
available geologic literature, advancing 12 hollow-stem auger soil borings, and performing
geologic studies to assess the type, thickness, distribution, and physical properties of the
subsurface sediments and shallow ground water. Geotechnical engineering studies were
completed to establish recommendations for the type of suitable foundations and floors,
allowable foundation soil bearing pressure, anticipated foundation and floor settlement,
pavement recommendations, and drainage considerations. This report summarizes our
fieldwork and offers preliminary recommendations based on our present understanding of the
project. We recommend that we be allowed to review the recommendations presented in this
report and revise them, if needed, when a project design matures.
1.2 Authorization
Written authorization to proceed with this study was granted by Mr. Rick Stracke of the
Renton School District No. 403 (District). Our study was accomplished in general accordance
with our scope of work letter dated November 18, 2009. This report has been prepared for the
exclusive use of the District, Greene Gasaway Architects, PLLC, and their 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
engineering geology practices in effect in this area at the time our report was prepared. No
other warranty, express or implied, is made.

Renton, Washington Project and Site Conditions
2.0 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION
This report is based on our understanding of the currently-proposed site improvements at
Lindbergh High School. It is our understanding that these improvements include construction
of a weight room addition to the gym, construction of a fire loop road, additional parking
areas, road widening, and repaving the upper parking lot. The areas currently proposed for
these improvements are covered with grass or existing paved surfaces. At the time this report
was written, no grading plan or detailed structural designs had been completed. For the
purpose of preparing this report, we have assumed the new structure and paved surfaces will
be constructed close to existing grades, and that the new structure will be a one- to two-story
building, with relatively light foundation loads.
The project site is that of the existing Lindbergh High School. The existing school includes
several buildings with paved parking areas and driveways. Grass athletic fields (baseball/
softball) are located to the west of the main structures, and a synthetic football field is located
to the southeast. The site has been graded to its current configuration by past earthwork
on-site. Overall site topography is that of a broad valley with a northwest-southeast trending •
bottom, which slopes downward from the northwest to the southeast. Site grades are generally
relatively flat to moderately sloping within the areas proposed for construction, with a few
limited steeply-sloping areas, which are likely the result of past grading (e.g., along the "home
run" fence of the baseball field). The existing slopes are not expected to be subject to
regulation as critical areas.
3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
Our subsurface exploration completed for this project included advancing 12 hollow-stem
auger soil borings. Other borings have been completed by Associated Earth Sciences, Inc.
(AESI) throughout the school property during previous studies conducted at the subject site.
One boring from these past studies, exploration boring EB-7 (completed in January of 2003),
has been included with the recent boring logs in the attached Appendix because it is located
along the approximate alignment of the proposed fire lane. In this report, for the purposes of
clarity, we have renamed this boring "EB-7A." The conclusions and recommendations
presented in this report are based on the explorations completed for this study. The locations
and depths of the explorations were completed within site and budget constraints.
3.1 Exploration Borings
The exploration borings were completed by advancing hollow-stem auger tools with a track-
mounted drill rig. During the drilling process, samples were obtained at generally 2.5- to
5-foot-depth intervals. The exploration borings were continuously observed and logged by a

representative from our firm. The exploration logs presented in the Appendix are based on the
field logs, drilling action, and inspection of the samples secured.
Disturbed, but representative samples were obtained by using the Standard Penetration Test
(SPT) procedure in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM):D 1586. This test and sampling method consists of driving a standard 2-inch,
outside-diameter, split-barrel sampler a distance of 18 inches into the soil with a 140-pound
hammer free-falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows for each 6-inch interval is
recorded, and the number of blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches is known
as the Standard Penetration Resistance ("N") or blow count. If a total of 50 is recorded within
one 6-inch interval, the blow count is recorded as the number of blows for the corresponding
number of inches of penetration. The resistance, or N-value, provides a measure of the
relative density of granular soils or the relative consistency of cohesive soils; these values are
plotted on the attached exploration boring logs. The samples obtained from the split-barrel
sampler were classified in the field and representative portions placed in watertight containers.
The samples were then transported to our laboratory for further visual classification.
4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions at the project site were inferred from the field explorations accomplished
for this study, visual reconnaissance of the site, and review of selected applicable geologic
literature. Because of the nature of exploratory work below ground, interpolation of
subsurface conditions between field explorations is necessary. It should be noted that differing
subsurface conditions may sometimes be present 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.
4.1 Stratigraphy
Fill
Existing fill was encountered in exploration borings EB-1 through EB-4, EB-6, and EB-9
through EB-12, as well as in exploration boring EB-7A, to depths ranging of up to
approximately 13 feet below the existing ground surface. The encountered fill exhibited a
wide range of soil densities, and appeared to consist of materials derived on-site and moved or
disturbed during earlier site work. The fill generally contained trace amounts of organics,
although abundant organic material, which appeared to be derived from pre-existing topsoil,
was observed in EB-4. Exploration boring EB-2, located near to the top of a grassy slope
adjacent to the baseball field, encountered approximately 8 feet of fill, possibly placed during
the grading for the field, above the elevation of the nearby driveway. Due to the variability in

Renton, Washington Project and Site Conditions
density, the existing fill will require removal from building areas and remedial improvement
below planned paving.
Ice Contact Deposits
Below the existing fill, exploration borings EB-1 through EB-4, and EB-12 encountered
variable silty sand with gravel, interbedded in places with fine sand zones or silt seams.
Density typically varied from medium dense to dense, increasing to very dense within zones
containing increased amounts of gravel. These native sediments are interpreted to represent
Vashon ice contact sediments. Ice contact sediments were initially deposited above or within a
glacial ice mass, and were subsequently redeposited when the ice melted. Ice contact
sediments can be stratified and alluvially re-worked, and stratification was noted in our
exploration borings on this site. Ice contact deposits are typically not consolidated to the same
degree as lodgement till sediments, though some degree of compaction by glacial activity can
occur. The ice contact sediments observed in our exploration borings for this project are silty
and are considered highly moisture-sensitive. With proper preparation, these sediments will
provide adequate support for the new building addition or paved surfacing. Excavated ice
contact sediments are expected to be above optimum moisture content for compaction
purposes, and will need to be dried during favorable dry site and weather conditions to allow
their reuse in structural fill applications. At the locations of exploration borings EB-1 through
EB-4, the ice contact deposits extended beyond the maximum depths explored of approximately
15.5 to 21.5 feet.
Vashon Lodgement Till
Sediments encountered at exploration borings EB-5 through EB-11, below the ice contact
sediments at the location of exploration boring EB-12, and in exploration boring EB-7A,
consisted chiefly of dense to very dense, silty sand with gravel. 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 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 EB-5 through EB-12, and EB-7A, the till extended beyond the maximum
depths explored of approximately 10.3 to 16.5 feet.
4.2 Geologic Mapping
We reviewed a published geologic map of the area (Geologic Map of King County,
Washington, by Derek B. Booth, Kathy A. Troost, and Aaron P. Wisher, 2006). The
referenced map indicates that the site vicinity is characterized primarily by lodgement till at the
ground surface. The shallow native sediments observed in our explorations for this project are

not entirely consistent with this mapping, although lodgement till was encountered. It is not
unusual to find localized areas that vary from published regional scale geologic mapping, and
that is the case with this site. Ice contact sediments occur regularly in the project area above
lodgement till. We recommend that design activities for this project be based on subsurface
materials observed in our on-site explorations.
4.3 Hydrology
Two of the exploration borings encountered ground water seepage, typically originating from
granular horizons within the ice contact sediments. We expect ground water seepage across
much of the site to be limited to interflow. Interflow occurs when surface water percolates
down through the surficial weathered or higher-permeability sediments and becomes perched
atop underlying, lower-permeability sediments. Based on site topography, we expect that this
interflow will tend to flow from the relatively higher northeast and southwest portions of the
site and collect below the central northwest-southeast trending valley bottom. 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.

IL GEOLOGIC HAZARDS AND MITIGATIONS
The following discussion of potential geologic hazards is based on the geologic, slope, and
ground and surface water conditions, as observed and discussed herein. The discussion will be
limited to seismic and erosion issues.
5.0 SEISMIC HAZARDS AND MITIGATIONS
Earthquakes occur regularly in the Puget Lowland. The 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 subject site is located approximately 5 miles to the south of the Seattle Fault Zone. 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 Johnsonet al., 1999, Active Tectonics of the Seattle Fault and Central Puget Sound
Washington - Implications for Earthquake 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, and no mitigation efforts beyond complying with
the current (2006) International Building Code (IBC) are recommended.

5.2 Seismically Induced Landslides
The lodgement till is a high shear strength, relatively low-permeability material and is not
overly sensitive 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
Liquefaction is a process through which unconsolidated soil loses strength as a result of
vibrations, such as those which occur during a seismic event. During normal conditions, the
weight of the soil is supported by both grain-to-grain contacts and by the fluid pressure within
the pore spaces of the soil below the water table. Extreme vibratory shaking can disrupt the
grain-to-grain contact, increase the pore pressure, and result in a temporary decrease in soil
shear strength. The soil is said to be liquefied when nearly all of the weight of the soil is
supported by pore pressure alone. Liquefaction can result in deformation of the sediment and
settlement of overlying structures. Areas most susceptible to liquefaction include those areas
- underlain by non-cohesive silt and sand with low relative densities, accompanied by a shallow
water table.
The subsurface conditions encountered at the site pose little risk of liquefaction due to
relatively high density and lack of shallow ground water. No detailed liquefaction analysis was
completed as part of this study, and none is warranted, in our opinion.
5.4 Ground Motion
It is our opinion that any earthquake damage to the proposed structure, when founded on a
suitable bearing stratum in accordance with the recommendations contained herein, will be
caused by the intensity and acceleration associated with the event and not any of the above-
discussed impacts. Structural design of the proposed building should follow the 2006 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 = 1.364 and for a
1-second period of Si = 0.465. 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 MITIGATIONS
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. We provide in the following sections
recommendations to address these inspection and reporting requirements. The following
sections also include recommendations related to general erosion control and mitigation.
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 (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 lowers 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 internee.
In order to meet the current Ecology requirements, a properly developed, constructed, and
maintained erosion control plan consistent with City of Renton 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. Based on past
experience, it will be necessary to make adjustments and provide additional measures to the
TESC plan in order to optimize its effectiveness. Ultimately, the success of the TESC plan
depends on a proactive approach to project planning and contractor implementation and
maintenance.
The most effective erosion control measure is the maintenance of adequate ground cover.
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 ls` through March 315I), 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 less than 50 feet in order to reduce the
erosion and sediment transport potential of concentrated flow. Ditch/swale spacing will need
to be shortened with increasing slope gradient. Ditches and swales that exceed a gradient of
about 7 to 10 percent, depending on their flow length, should have properly constructed check
clams installed to reduce the flow velocity of the runoff and reduce the erosion potential within
the ditch. Flow paths that are required to be constructed on gradients between 10 to 15 percent
should be placed in a riprap-lined swale with the riprap properly sized for the anticipated flow
conditions. 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.
With respect to water quality, having ground cover prior to rain events is one of the most
important and effective means to maintain water quality. 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 very 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 is meant to 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 rather than let the
runoff build up behind the silt fence and utilize the silt fence as the flow-control measure.
Runoff flowing in front of a silt fence will cause additional erosion and usually will cause a
failure of the silt fence. Improperly installed silt fencing has the potential to cause a much
larger erosion hazard than if the silt fence was not installed at all. The use of silt fencing
should be limited to protect sensitive areas, and swales should be used to provide flow control.
6.1 Erosion Hazard Mitigation
To mitigate the erosion hazards and potential for off-site sediment transport, we would
recommend the following:
February 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC.
JPL/id-KE090426A3-Projecu1200904261KEIWP Page 9
Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazards, and
Lindbergh High School Improvements Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Renton, Washington Geolo:is Hazards and Miti:ations
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. It is easier to keep the soil on the ground than to
remove it from storm water. The owner and the design team should include adequate
ground-cover measures, access roads, and staging areas in the project bid to give the
selected contractor a workable site. The selected contractor needs to be prepared to
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 timber harvesting. The recommended sequence of
construction within a given area after clearing/timber harvesting 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
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 cost-effective 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 1S1 and
March 31s`, 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.

III. PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
7.0 INTRODUCTION
Portions of the subject site are underlain by a layer of surficial existing fill that is variable in
density, composition, and thickness. Existing fill is not suitable for support of new
foundations, and warrants remedial preparation where it occurs below paving and similar
lightly loaded structures. Structural fill or native ice contact or lodgement till deposits are
suitable for support of shallow foundations with proper preparation. Based on the soil
conditions encountered in exploration boring EB-5, we anticipate that overexcavation will not
be necessary for the foundations for the proposed weight room addition to the gym. This
should be verified during construction.
8.0 SITE PREPARATION
Existing buried utilities, vegetation, topsoil, and any other deleterious materials should be
removed where they are located below planned construction areas. All disturbed soils resulting
from demolition activities should be removed to expose underlying, undisturbed, native
sediments and replaced with structural fill, as needed. All excavations below final grade made
for demolition activities should be backfilled, as needed, with structural fill. Erosion and
surface water control should be established around the clearing limits to satisfy local
requirements.
Once demolition has been completed, existing fill should be addressed. The observed fill
depth in our borings was up to approximately 13 feet below existing grade. We recommend
that existing fill be removed from below areas of planned foundations to expose underlying
undisturbed native sediments, followed by restoration of the planned foundation grade with
structural fill. Removal of existing fill should extend laterally beyond the building footprint by
a distance equal to the depth of overexcavation. For example, if existing fill is removed to a
depth of 2 feet below a planned footing area, the excavation should also extend laterally 2 feet
beyond the building footprint in that area. Care should be taken not to disturb support soils of
existing foundations. Support soils should be considered those soils within a prism projected
downward and outward from existing footings at inclinations of 1H:1V (Horizontal:Vertical).
Where existing fill is removed and replaced with structural fill, conventional shallow
foundations may be used for building support. The required depth of removal should be
determined in the field based on actual conditions encountered during excavation.

Lindbergh High School Improvements Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Renton, Washington Preliminary Desi:n Recommendations
8.1 Site Drainage and Surface Water Control
The site should be graded to prevent water from ponding in construction areas and/or flowing
into excavations. Exposed grades should be crowned, sloped, and smooth-drum rolled at the
end of each day to facilitate drainage. Accumulated water must be removed from subgrades
and work areas immediately prior to performing further work in the area. Equipment access
may be limited, and the amount of soil rendered unfit for use as structural fill may be greatly
increased if drainage efforts are not accomplished in a timely sequence. If an effective
drainage system is not utilized, project delays and increased costs could be incurred due to the
greater quantities of wet and unsuitable fill, or poor access and unstable conditions.
Our exploration borings encountered evidence of seasonal ground water seepage from granular
intervals within the ice contact deposits. We also anticipate that perched ground water could
be encountered in excavations completed during construction. We do not anticipate the need
for extensive dewatering in advance of excavations. The contractor should be prepared to
intercept any ground water seepage entering the excavations and route it to a suitable discharge
location.
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 area. We recommend 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.
8.2 Subgrade Protection
To the extent that it is possible, existing pavement should be used for construction staging
areas. If building construction will proceed during the winter, we recommend the use of a
working surface of sand and gravel, crushed rock, or quarry spalls to protect exposed soils,
particularly in areas supporting concentrated equipment traffic. In winter construction staging
areas and areas that will be subjected to repeated heavy loads, such as those that occur during
construction of masonry walls, a minimum thickness of 12 inches of quarry spalls or 18 inches
of pit run sand and gravel is recommended. If subgrade conditions are soft and silty, a
geotextile separation fabric, such as Mirafi 500x or approved equivalent, should be used
between the subgrade and the new fill. For building pads where floor slabs and foundation
construction will be completed in the winter, a similar working surface should be used,
composed of at least 6 inches of pit run sand and gravel or crushed rock. Construction of
working surfaces from advancing fill pads could be used to avoid directly exposing the
subgrade soils to vehicular traffic.

Renton, Washin:ton _ Prelimina Desi;n Recommendations
Foundation subgrades may require protection from foot and equipment traffic and ponding of _
runoff during wet weather conditions. Typically, compacted crushed rock or a lean-mix
concrete mat placed over a properly prepared subgrade provides adequate subgrade protection.
Foundation concrete should be placed and excavations backfilled as soon as possible to protect _
the bearing surface.
8.3 Proof-Rolling and Subgrade Compaction
Following the recommended demolition, site stripping, and planned excavation, the stripped
subgrade within the building areas should be proof-rolled with heavy, rubber-tired construction
equipment, such as a fully loaded, tandem-axle dump truck. Proof-rolling should be
performed prior to structural fill placement or foundation excavation. The proof-roll should be
monitored by the geotechnical engineer so that any soft or yielding subgrade soils can be
identified. Any soft/loose, yielding soils should be removed to a stable subgrade. The
subgrade should then be scarified, adjusted in moisture content, and recompacted to the
required density. Proof-rolling should only be attempted if soil moisture contents are at or
near optimum moisture content. Proof-rolling of wet subgrades could result in further
degradation. Low areas and excavations may then be raised to the planned finished grade with
compacted structural fill. Subgrade preparation and selection, placement, and compaction of
structural fill should be performed under engineering-controlled conditions in accordance with
the project specifications.
8.4 Overexcavation/Stabilization
Construction during extended wet weather periods could create the need to overexcavate
exposed soils if they become disturbed and cannot be recompacted due to elevated moisture
content and./or weather conditions. Even during dry weather periods, soft/wet soils, which
may need to be overexcavated, may be encountered in some portions of the site. If
overexcavation is necessary, it should be confirmed through continuous observation and testing
by AESI. Soils that have become unstable may require remedial measures in the form of one
or more of the following:
1. Drying and recompaction. Selective drying may be accomplished by scarifying or
windrowing surficial material during extended periods of dry and warm weather.
2. Removal of affected soils to expose a suitable bearing subgrade and replacement with
compacted structural fill.
3. Mechanical stabilization with a coarse crushed aggregate compacted into the subgrade,
possibly in conjunction with a geotextile.
4. Soil/cement admixture stabilization.

Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazards, and
Lindbergh High School Improvements Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Renton, Washington Prelimina Desi:n Recommendations
8.5 Wet Weather Conditions
If construction proceeds during an extended wet weather construction period and the moisture-
sensitive site soils become wet, they will become unstable. Therefore, the bids for site grading
operations should be based upon the time of year that construction will proceed. It is expected
that in wet conditions additional soils may need to be removed and/or other stabilization methods
used, such as a coarse crushed rock working mat to develop a stable condition if silty subgrade
soils are disturbed in the presence of excess moisture. The severity of construction disturbance
will be dependent, in part, on the precautions that are taken by the contractor to protect the
moisture- and disturbance-sensitive site soils. If overexcavation is necessary, it should be
confirmed through continuous observation and testing by a representative of our firm.
8.6 Temporary and Permanent Cut Slopes
In our opinion, stable construction slopes should be the responsibility of the contractor and
should be determined during construction. For estimating purposes, however, we anticipate
that temporary, unsupported cut slopes in the existing fill can be made at a maximum slope of
1.5H:1V or flatter. Temporary slopes in ice contact or lodgement till deposits may be planned
at 1II:1V. As is typical with earthwork operations, some sloughing and raveling may occur,
and cut slopes may have to be adjusted in the field. If ground water seepage is encountered in
cut slopes, or if surface water is not routed away from temporary cut slope faces, flatter slopes
will be required. In addition, WISHA/OSHA regulations should be followed at all times.
Permanent cut and structural fill slopes that are not intended to be exposed to surface water
should be designed at inclinations of 2H:1 V or flatter. All permanent cut or fill slopes should
be compacted to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density, as
determined by ASTM:D 1557, and the slopes should be protected from erosion by sheet plastic
until vegetation cover can be established during favorable weather.
8.7 Frozen Subgrades
If earthwork takes place during freezing conditions, all exposed subgrades should be allowed to
thaw and then be recompacted prior to placing subsequent lifts of structural fill or foundation
components. Alternatively, the frozen material could be stripped from the subgrade to reveal
unfrozen soil prior to placing subsequent lifts of fill or foundation components. The frozen
soil should not be reused as structural fill until allowed to thaw and adjusted to the proper
moisture content, which may not be possible during winter months.

9.0 STRUCTURAL FILL
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.
After stripping, planned excavation, and any required overexcavation have been performed to
the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer, the upper 12 inches of exposed ground in areas to
receive fill should be recompacted to 90 percent of the modified Proctor maximum density
using ASTM:D 1557 as the standard. If the subgrade contains silty soilsand too much
moisture, adequate recompaction may be difficult or impossible to obtain and should probably
not be attempted. In lieu of recompaction, 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.
After recompaction 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. 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 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum density
using ASTM:D 1557 as the standard. In the case of roadway and utility trench filling, the
backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with current City of Renton codes and
standards. The top of the compacted fill should extend horizontally outward a minimum
distance of 3 feet beyond the locations of the roadway edges before sloping down at an angle
of 2H:1V.
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 72 hours in advance to
perform a Proctor test and determine its field compaction standard. 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. The native and existing fill soils present on-site contained variable amounts of silt
and are considered 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 with at least 25 percent retained on the No. 4 sieve.

Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazards, and
Lindbergh High School Improvements Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Renton, Washington Preliminary Design Recommendations
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 District in developing a
suitable monitoring and testing program.
10.0 FOUNDATIONS
Spread footings may be used for building support when founded directly on undisturbed ice
contact or lodgement till deposits or on structural fill placed above suitable native deposits, as
previously discussed. We recommend that an allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per
square foot (psf) be used for design purposes, including both dead and live loads. An increase
of one-third may be used for short-term wind or seismic loading. Higher foundation soil
bearing pressures are possible for foundations supported entirely on undisturbed or lodgement
till deposits; however, we do not expect that higher bearing pressures will be needed. If
higher foundation soil bearing pressures are needed, we should be allowed to offer situation-
specific recommendations.
Perimeter footings should be buried at least 18 inches into the surrounding soil for frost
protection. However, all footings must penetrate to the prescribed bearing stratum, and no
footing should be founded in or above organic or loose soils. Based on the soil conditions
encountered in exploration boring EB-5, we anticipate that overexcavation will not be
necessary for the foundations for the proposed weight room addition to the gym. This should
be verified during construction. All footings should have a minimum width of 18 inches.
It should be noted that the area bound by lines extending downward at 1H:1V 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 1.5H:IV 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 edge of steps or cuts in the bearing soils.
Anticipated settlement of footings founded as described above should be on the order of 3/4 inch
or less. However, disturbed soil not removed from footing excavations prior to footing
placement could result in increased settlements. All footing areas should be inspected by AESI
prior to placing concrete to verify that the design bearing capacity of the soils has been attained
and that construction conforms to the recommendations contained in this report. Such
inspections may be required by the governing municipality. Perimeter footing drains should be
provided, as discussed under the "Drainage Considerations" section of this report.

Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazards, and
Lindbergh High School Improvements Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Renton, Washin:ton Prelimina Desi:n Recommendations
Care should be exercised when constructing new foundations adjacent to existing building
foundations. If possible, the new foundations should be founded at the same elevation as the
existing. If new footings are founded above existing footings, they will impart new loads that
may lead to settlement of the existing footings. If adjacent foundations are to be founded at
different elevations, the structural engineer should review the effect of the new loads on
foundations and stem walls. If new foundations will be placed below existing footing
elevations, the existing elements may need to be underpinned.
If any part of the excavations will intersect a 45-degree line extended down from the base of
the existing building foundation, then that portion of the excavation should be completed and
backfilled in short segments on the order of 5 to 10 feet in length. Care should be taken so as
not to undermine the existing foundation elements.
Consideration should be given to deferring the installation of a settlement-sensitive finish, as
long as practical, especially at the transition from the new weight room to the existing
building. To further reduce the potential for differential movement, a closure pour strip
between the new and existing floors could be deferred until the new dead loads are in place.
10.1 Drainage Considerations
Foundations should be provided with foundation drains placed at the base of footing elevation.
Drains should consist of rigid, perforated, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe surrounded by
washed pea gravel. The drains should be constructed with sufficient gradient to allow gravity
discharge away from the proposed buildings. Roof and surface runoff should not discharge
into the footing drain system, but should be handled by a separate, rigid, tightline drain. In
planning, exterior grades adjacent to walls should be sloped downward away from the
proposed structures to achieve surface drainage.
4.
11.0 FLOOR SUPPORT
Floor slabs can be supported on suitable native sediments, or on structural fill placed above
suitable native sediments. Floor slabs should be cast atop a minimum of 4 inches of clean,
washed, crushed rock or pea gravel to act as a capillary break. Areas of subgrade that are
disturbed (loosened) during construction should be compacted to a non-yielding condition prior
to placement of capillary break material. Floor slabs should also be protected from dampness
by an impervious moisture barrier at least 10 mils thick. The moisture barrier should be
placed between the capillary break material and the concrete slab.

Lindbergh High School Improvements Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report
Renton, Washington Preliminary Design Recommendations
12.0 FOUNDATION WALLS
All backfill behind foundation walls or around foundation units should be placed as per 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 with sloping backfill up to a maximum gradient of 2H:1V should be designed
using an equivalent fluid of 55 pcf for yielding conditions or 75 pcf for fully 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.
As required by the 2006 IBC, retaining wall design should include a seismic surcharge
pressure in addition to the equivalent fluid pressures presented above. Considering the site
soils and the recommended wall backfill materials, we recommend a seismic surcharge
pressure of 5H and 1011 psf, where H is the wall height in feet for the "active" and "at-rest"
loading conditions, respectively. The seismic surcharge should be modeled as a rectangular
distribution with the resultant applied at the mid-point of the walls.
The lateral pressures presented above are based on the conditions of a uniform backfill
consisting of excavated on-site soils, or imported structural fill compacted to 90 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 settlement of the slab-on-grade
or other structures supported above the walls. Thus, the compaction level is critical and must
be tested by our firm during placement. Surcharges from adjacent footings or heavy
construction equipment must be added to the above values. Perimeter footing drains should be
provided for all retaining walls, as discussed under the "Drainage Considerations" section of
this report.
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, 1-foot-wide blanket drain to
within 1 foot of finish grade for the full wall height using imported, washed gravel against
the walls. A prefabricated drainage mat is not a suitable substitute for the gravel blanket drain
unless all backfill against the wall is free-draining.
12.1 Passive Resistance and Friction Factors
Lateral loads can be resisted by friction between the foundation and the natural glacial soils or
supporting structural fill soils, and by passive earth pressure acting on the buried portions of
the foundations. The foundations must be backfilled with structural fill and compacted to at

least 95 percent of the maximum dry density to achieve the passive resistance provided below.
We recommend the following allowable design parameters:
• Passive equivalent fluid = 250 pcf
• Coefficient of friction = 0.30
13.0 PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Pavement areas should be prepared in accordance with the "Site Preparation" section of this
report. If the stripped native soil or existing fill pavement subgrade can be compacted to
95 percent of ASTM:D 1557 and is firm and unyielding, no additional overexcavation is
required. Soft or yielding areas should be overexcavated to provide a suitable subgrade and
backfilled with structural fill.
The pavement sections included in this report section are for driveway and parking areas on-
site, and are not applicable to right-of-way improvements. At this time, we are not aware of
any planned right-of-way improvements; however, if any new paving of public streets is
required, we should be allowed to offer situation-specific recommendations.
The exposed ground should be recompacted to 95 percent of ASTM:D 1557. If required,
structural fill may then be placed to achieve desired subbase grades. Upon completion of the
recompaction and structural fill, a pavement section consisting of 21 inches of asphaltic
concrete pavement (ACP) underlain by 4 inches of 11/4-inch crushed surfacing base course is
the recommended minimum in areas of planned passenger car driving and parking. In heavy
traffic areas, such as bus or fire lanes, a minimum pavement section consisting of 3 inches of
ACP underlain by 2 inches of 5/8-inch crushed surfacing top course and 4 inches of 11/4-inch
crushed surfacing base course is recommended. The crushed rock courses must be compacted
to 95 percent of the maximum density, as determined by ASTM:D 1557. All paving materials
should meet gradation criteria contained in the current Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Specifications. If an alternate paving system (e.g.,
Grasscrete) is to be considered for the fire loop road, AESI should be contacted to provide
situation-specific recommendations.
Depending on construction staging and desired performance, the crushed base course material
may be substituted with asphalt treated base (ATB) beneath the final asphalt surfacing. The
substitution of ATB should be as follows: 4 inches of crushed rock can be substituted with
3 inches of ATB, and 6 inches of crushed rock may be substituted with 4 inches of ATB. ATB
should be placed over a native or structural fill subgrade compacted to a minimum of
95 percent relative density, and a 11/2- to 2-inch thickness of crushed rock to act as a working
surface. If ATB is used for construction access and staging areas, some rutting and

disturbance of the ATB surface should be expected. The general contractor should remove
affected areas and replace them with properly compacted ATB prior to final surfacing.
13.1 Porous Asphalt or Permeable Pavement
We understand that porous pavement is currently under consideration. Recommendations
provided for use in planning and design of porous pavement focus on providing a uniform base
for support of the porous pavement, developing as much storm water storage volume as
possible, and allowing maximum infiltration within the soils beneath the pavement. It our
expectation that the site soils will only provide limited infiltration and that some or all of the
infiltrated storm water will require collection at the downgradient edge of the pavement section
for disposal via conventional storm water methods.
Several of our exploration borings encountered fill that ranged up to 13 feet in depth, while
other borings encountered shallow dense to very dense glacial till. The density of the existing
fill and glacial soils within 18 inches of the existing grass surface is considered to vary widely,
from loose to very dense. In order to provide a uniform base for support of the porous
pavement and to allow maximum infiltration within the soils beneath the pavement, our
recommendations include scarification of the upper 12 inches of soil across the exposed
pavement subgrade.
Following subgrade preparation, we recommend a passenger car pavement section consisting
of a 3-inch compacted porous asphalt paving above a 3-inch thickness of "choker course"
consisting of 5/8-inch crushed surfacing top course. Below the choker course, a 12- to 18-inch-
thick storage layer consisting of 2-inch railroad ballast should be placed above the soil
subgrade. The storage layer should be sized for an appropriate amount of storm water storage
assuming a porosity of 0.30. Since a limited amount of the water will infiltrate the pavement
subgrade during large storm events, a drainage system should be established on the
downgradient side(s) of the permeable pavement. The drainage system should include
perforated pipes connected to the site storm drain system. In areas where buses, garbage
trucks, delivery trucks, or other heavy vehicles will be driven or parked, we recommend a
paving section consisting of 6 inches of porous asphalt, 3 inches of choker course, and
18 inches of storage layer.
Porous asphalt requires regular cleaning to avoid becoming clogged with silt and contaminants
and to maintain the porous properties. We recommend the District establish a cleaning
schedule as part of the long-term site maintenance.

14.0 PROJECT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
Our report is preliminary since project plans were not finalized at the time this report was
written. We recommend that AESI perform a geotechnical review of the plans prior to final
design completion. In this way, we can confirm that our earthwork and foundation
recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented in the design.
We are also available to provide geotechnical engineering and monitoring services during
construction. The integrity of the foundation system 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 cost proposal.
We have enjoyed working with you on this study and are confident that these recommendations
will aid in the successful completion of your project. If you should have any questions or
require further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

Executive Summary
This wetland delineation was based on the Onsite Determination Method described in the Washington
State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual(1997), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual (1987).
Based on the information derived through site reconnaissance and readily available documents, four
wetland areas were identified on southern portion the site, and one constructed ditch was identified in
the northwest portion of the site. The four onsite wetlands were historically part of a ravine swale that
was modified when the original school was constructed. Although modified, the wetlands meet the
biological criteria for wetlands. According to the Renton Municipal Code, Section 4-3-050.M, the wetlands
are Category 3 systems requiring 25-foot buffers. The hydrogeomorphic classifications of the onsite
wetlands are Slope for Wetlands A, C, and D, and Depressional for Wetland B. The Cowardin
classification of the four onsite wetlands is Palustrine scrub-shrub/emergent, seasonally flooded.
Molasses Creek, a Type A stream, is located offsite greater than 300 feet to the southeast. Type A
streams require a code-required buffer of 100 feet. A ditch is located along the north boundary of the
site near the northwest corner. The ditch near the northwest corner of the site was clearly constructed in
the 1970s per the contours shown on the Renton High School No. 3 Site Plan, prepared by Fred Bassetti
and Company/Architects. The ditch should not be considered a jurisdictional wetland or stream because
it was constructed when the original school was constructed to convey runoff to a culvert along
128th Avenue SE. The site is located in the Cedar-Sammamish Basin of Water Resource Inventory Area
(WRIA) 8.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
AHBL, Inc. has completed wetland delineation on the Lindbergh High School parcel located at
16426 128th Avenue SE, Renton, Washington (Appendix A, Exhibit WE-1). This report has been
prepared to define the wetland boundaries and buffers located on the site.
1.1 Scope of Services
The scope of work for this study was limited to the following tasks:
• A review of documents readily available, induding local wetland inventory maps, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory Maps, aerial photographs, previous
wetland review completed by others, and Washington State Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) databases.
• A visual assessment to observe existing site conditions and to identify wetlands located on
or within 300 feet of the site, and wildlife habitat and species located on and near the
subject parcels. Methods defined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and
Delineation Manual(1997) were used to determine the presence and extent of wetlands on
the site.
• Review federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to wetlands and streams identified
on and near the site. The review is used to classify the identified wetlands, stream, and
wildlife habitat.
• An assessment of onsite wetland functions and values.
• A report documenting the process, findings, and conclusions for this project.
1.2 Site Location and Description
The proposed project site is comprised of three parcels (282305-9004, -9042, and -9093)totaling
approximately 37.25 acres, located at 16426 128th Avenue SE, Renton, Washington (Section 28,
Township 23 North, Range 05 East, W.M.) (Appendix A, Exhibit WE-1). Onsite are existing school
buildings, parking areas and drive lanes, playflelds, and track. Four wetlands are located in the
south central portion of the site. A ditch is located along the north boundary of the site near the
northwest corner. The ditch near the northwest corner of the site was clearly constructed in the
1970s per the contours shown on the Renton High School No. 3 Site Plan, prepared by Fred
Basset and Company/Architects (Appendix B). The ditch should not be considered a
jurisdictional wetland or stream because it was constructed when the original school was
constructed to convey runoff to a culvert along 128th Avenue SE. North and east of the site are
residential neighborhoods, south of the site is Renton Park, and west of the site is 128th Avenue
SE (Appendix A, Exhibit WE-1).
2.0 DOCUMENT REVIEW
A review of readily available documents was conducted to characterize the site.

210299.70
2.1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory Map
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Map of the Renton area
does not identify wetlands on or adjacent to the site.
2.2 Soil Survey of King County Area, Washington
The Soil Survey of King County Area, Washington, as depicted by the Web Soil Survey, was
reviewed to determine the general nature of soils on the subject site. The site was determined
to contain Alderwood and Everett soils (Appendix A, Exhibit WE-2).
The Alderwood series is made up of moderately well drained soils that formed under conifers in
glacial deposits. Permeability of this soil is moderately rapid in the surface layer and subsoil, and
very slow in the substratum. The Alderwood soil series is not listed as hydric (wetland) soil by
the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) (1995); however, Alderwood soils may
contain hydric soil inclusions.
Everett gravelly sandy loam series is made up of somewhat excessively drained soils that formed
in gravelly glacial outwash under conifers. Permeability of this soil is rapid. The Everett soil
series is not listed as hydric (wetland)soil by the NRCS (1995); however, Everett soils may
contain hydric soil inclusions.
2.3 SalmonScape Stream Map
The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) SalmonScape Version 4 Map
indicates that Molasses Creek is located offsite to the southeast. Molasses Creek is listed as a
low gradient, between 1 and 2 percent, unconfined channel, fish bearing stream. There is one
documented partial fish blockage barrier near the Cedar River. SalmonScape does not list salmon
species within Molasses Creek near the site. Coho are listed in the stream channel downstream
approximately 1 mile (Appendix A, Exhibit WE-3). Coho are a federal Species of Concern and a
state Candidate species.
2.4 King County iMap
The King County iMap website shows a Category 1 wetland approximately 250 feet southeast of
the site, and Molasses Creek over 300 feet southeast of the site (Appendix A, Exhibit WE-4).
2.5 DNR and Fish and Wildlife Database Reviews
According to the Washington State DNR, Natural Heritage Information System website, updated
July 21, 2009, no rare plants or high quality ecosystems are located in the specific township
range and sections of the proposed project(Section 28,Township 23 North, Range 05 East,
W.M.).
The Priority Habitat and Species Database, dated June 10, 2010, indicates that (a) wetlands are
located on or near the southern portion of the site, (b) that Molasses Creek is located offsite to
the south, and (c)a bald eagle nest is located greater than three-quarters of a mile northeast of
the site on the Cedar River. Molasses Creek is listed as containing Coho salmon, resident
Cutthroat trout, and Sockeye salmon.

3.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
On June 10 and 14, 2010, Theresa Dusek visited the property to evaluate the site and
surrounding area, and to flag onsite wetlands. The flags were surveyed by ESM. Four onsite
wetlands were identified in the south central portion of the site (Appendix C). Wetland boundary
flags were pink ribbon or pin flags with"Wetland Delineation"stamped on the flags. The flags
were marked with sequential numbers and wetland identifiers (W-1A indicates wetland boundary
flag 1 of Wetland A). The sampling point locations were marked with black and orange ribbon
flag tied onto vegetation and marked with a numeric identifier (DP-1 indicates Data Point 1).
The approximate location, size, and rating of the wetland were also determined. The site visit
included visual observation of the project site and, where possible, the surrounding area within
300 feet of the site for wetlands and fish and wildlife habitat areas. The site wetlands were
characterized by data gathered at four data points (Appendix C).
3.1 Topography
The topography of the project site and surrounding areas has been historically manipulated by
historic construction of the school facilities, local roads, parks, and residences. Overall, the site
slopes down from the east and west to the center of the property, with an elevation change of
approximately 25 feet. The eastern edge of the site slopes down to the east.
3.2 Fauna
A red legged frog (Rana aurora), eastern grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), Canadian geese
(Branta canadensis), mallards, marsh wrens (Cistothorus palustris), chickadees (Poecile
atricapilla), nuthatch (Sitta canadensis), robin (Turdus migratorius), red shafted flicker(Colaptes
auratus), and sparrows were observed during the site visit.
3.3 Vegetation
Representative sampling points were established to document plant species and dominance of
vegetation on the subject property (Appendix D). The dominant vegetative species composition
on the site varied from scrub-shrub and emergent wetland, to Douglas fir and big leaf maple
forest, to mowed lawn and landscape beds. Overall dominant vegetation on the site included
salmonberry (Rubus spectabilus), sedges (Carex spp.), buttercup (Ranunculus repens), red alder
(Rubus spectabilus), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), western red cedar (Thuja plicata), salal
(Gaulthera shallon), snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), sword fern (polystichum munitum),
dewberry(Rubus ursinus), blackberry (Rubus discolor), elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), and
Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis). Plant species listed federally or by the state as threatened
or endangered have not been observed on the site. Data forms detailing observations for
vegetation are included in Appendix D.
3.4 Soils
During the site evaluation, soil conditions (including color, texture, and relative moisture content)
were observed and recorded at sampling points on the project site. The indicators used to
identify hydric soils can be found in the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils of the United States. Soil
types observed on the site ranged from silt loam to gravelly sandy loam to glacial till. Data forms
detailing observations for soils are included in Appendix D.

210299.70
3.5 Hydrology
Hydrologic conditions, including saturated soils and indicators of wetland hydrology, as defined
by the 1987 and 1997 manuals and supplement, were observed in the wetlands (Appendix D).
Generally, the wetlands contained saturated soils at the surface with some areas of ponded water
up to 3 inches deep. Hydrology in the wetlands is controlled by groundwater seepage and
surface water runoff. Wetland A enters catch basins located on the north and east ends.
Wetland B overflows into Wetland C during large rainfall events. Wetland C and D typically
contain water from groundwater seepage, which leaves the wetlands via stormwater catch
basins. Historically, Wetlands A, B, and C were part of a shallow ravine system that has been
highly altered.
4.0 WETLAND
Based on the use of the triple-parameter approach, defined within the 1997 manual, and current
site conditions, four wetlands were identified in a highly modified historic swale/ravine.
Wetland D extends offsite to the southwest. Wetland boundaries are the same using the
supplement and the 1997 manual.
Vegetation species were identified and classified with a Wetland Indicator Status (WIS) assigned
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (1988 and 1993); soil conditions were identified using the
National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States-,
and observations of hydrologic conditions, including inundation and soils saturation, were made
by hand, excavated with a shovel 18 to 20 inches deep at five representative data points on the
site. Additional hand-excavated test pits were completed to determine if there were differences
in soil or hydrologic conditions from the marked sample plots. The wetlands were identified as
such because all three wetland parameters were present under current site conditions using
methods for significantly disturbed sites. The wetlands have been classified using the
Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States(Cowardin et al, 1979).
Detailed scientific knowledge of wetland functions is limited, so that evaluation of the functions of
individual wetlands is qualitative and dependent upon professional judgment. The wetland was
evaluated for the following wetland functions and values: (1)flood and stormwater control,
(2) base flow and groundwater support, (3) water quality improvement, (4) natural biological
support, (5) overall habitat function, and (6) specific habitat functions.
4.1 Wetland A
The wetland is located south of the pool building and has a brick wall and catch basins within the
wetland. The wetland extends offsite to the south. In accordance with the Renton High School
No. 3 Site Plan, prepared by Fred Bassetti and Company/Architects, a parking lot was originally
proposed to be constructed in this location. A note on the site plan indicates that the parking lot
layout was revised (Appendix B). The surveyed onsite portion of the wetland is 5,440 square
feet in size. The total size of the wetland on and off of the site is estimated to be approximately
9,000 square feet in size. The onsite wetland is a Category 3 system with a hydrogeomorphic
classification of Slope. According to the Cowardin classification, the wetland is a Palustrine
emergent, seasonally flooded system.
Hydrologic conditions in the wetland are provided by groundwater seepage and local surface
water runoff. Water ponds on top of glacial till and flows to the north and northeast where it
enters catch basins. Soils in Wetland A consist of silt loam underlain by a 1-inch layer of crushed

gravel underlain by glacial till. Soils have a distinct sulfidic odor. Dominant vegetation in the
wetland includes rushes, sedges, bentgrass and buttercups. Several landscape trees are rooted
on the edge or just outside the wetland and provide over story cover.
The wetland generally has low biologic functions due to its size, seasonal shallow water, and
single plant community. Habitat within the wetland system provides for a narrow range of
species that use the adjacent buffer. Snags and downed logs are not present. Habitat diversity
is provided by interspersion of"habitat"types between the wetland and adjacent forest and
shrub areas located offsite. The wetland has been cleared and filled in the past and has catch
basins and the brick wall in the wetland. The wetland buffer contains non-native invasive plant
species, including Himalayan blackberry, English ivy, and holly.
In general, the wetland has low to moderate hydrologic functions. The wetland is a historically
disturbed slope that provides water quality treatment, removal of sediments, and minimal flood
water retention. The wetland contains cool water from groundwater discharge and transmits it
to the school storm system.
4.2 Wetland B
Wetland B is located across a gravel path and down slope from Wetland A. It is located in a
historic ravine that is now functioning as a swale. The estimated size of Wetland B is 1,165
square feet. Wetland B is a Category 3 system with a hydrogeomorphic classification of
Depressional and Slope. According to the Cowardin classification, the wetland is a Palustrine
scrub-shrub, emergent, semi-permanently flooded system.
Hydrologic conditions in the wetland are provided by groundwater seepage and local runoff. The
wetland contained gravelly sandy loam soils, with 2 to 6 inches of wood chips over the surface in
some areas. Dominant vegetation in the wetland includes cottonwood saplings sprouting from
stumps, branches, and roots; red osier dogwood; salmonberry; and soft rush. During the site
visit, the entire wetland system was saturated or inundated. During the June 10 site visit, water
ponded in the wetland was overflowing into Wetland C located to the east.
The wetland generally has low biologic functions due to its small size, seasonal hydrology, and
altered plant communities. Habitat within the wetland system provides for a moderate range of
species that use the adjacent forest, existing wetland habitat, downed logs, shrub, and emergent
habitats throughout different stages of their life cycle. The wetland provides suitable refuge for a
suite of different fauna, including invertebrates, terrestrial birds, and terrestrial mammals.
Habitat diversity is provided by a broad range of structures, vegetation, and interspersion of
"habitat"types within the wetland and adjacent habitats. The wetland buffer is highly altered,
but contains an intact native plant community to the west.
In general, the wetland has low to moderate hydrologic functions. The wetland is a depression
on a slope that provides water quality treatment, removal of sediments, and flood water
retention. The wetland contains cool water from groundwater discharge and transmits it to
Wetland C via infiltration and overland flow, and ultimately enters the school storm system.
4.3 Wetland C
Wetland C is located directly east of Wetland B on a cut/fill slope face and at the toe of the slope.
It is located in a historic ravine that was modified when the original school was constructed. The
estimated size of Wetland C is 1,399 square feet. Wetland C is a Category 3 system with a

hydrogeomorphic classification of Slope. According to the Cowardin classification, the wetland is
a Palustrine scrub-shrub, emergent, semi-permanently flooded system.
Hydrologic conditions in the wetland are provided by groundwater seepage and local runoff. The
wetland contains silt loam underlain by gravelly sandy loam soils. Dominant vegetation in the
wetland includes salmonberry, red osier dogwood, bentgrass, giant horsetail, and soft rush.
During the site visit, the entire wetland system was saturated or inundated.
The wetland generally has low biologic functions due to its small size, saturated soil condition,
and altered plant communities. Habitat within the wetland system provides for a moderate range
of species that use the adjacent slope and existing wetland habitat throughout different stages of
their life cyde. The wetland provides limited breeding, food, and refuge for fauna. The wetland
buffer is highly altered.
In general, the wetland has low to moderate hydrologic functions. The wetland is a groundwater
seep on a slope that provides limited water quality treatment. The wetland contains cool water
from groundwater discharge and transmits it to the school storm system.
4.4 Wetland D
Wetland D is located along a slope and in a shallow channel located south of Wetland C.
Wetland D extends offsite to the southwest. The surveyed onsite portion of the wetland is
1,768 square feet in size. The total size of the wetland on and off of the site is estimated to be
greater than 1 acre in size. Wetland D is a Category 3 system with a hydrogeomorphic
classification of Slope and Depressional. According to the Cowardin classification, the wetland is
a Plustrine scrub shrub emergent, seasonally flooded system.
Hydrologic conditions in the wetland are provided by groundwater seepage and local runoff. A
swale area at the toe of slope collects water and transmits it to the southwest. Soils in the onsite
wetland consist of silt loam. Dominant vegetation in the wetland includes red osier dogwood,
cottonwood, salmonberry, American brooklime, and buttercup. During the site visit, the entire
wetland system was saturated near the surface.
The wetland generally has moderate biologic functions due to its size and connection to other
plant communities in Renton Park that connect to the Molasses Creek corridor. Habitat within the
wetland system provides for a broad range of species that use the adjacent forest, existing
wetland habitat, snags and downed logs, shrub, and emergent habitats throughout different
stages of their life cycle. The wetland provides suitable feeding, breeding, and refuge for a suite
of different fauna, including invertebrates, amphibians, aquatic and terrestrial birds, and aquatic
and terrestrial mammals. Habitat diversity is provided by a broad range of structures,
vegetation, and interspersion of"habitat"types within the wetland and adjacent habitats. Half of
the wetland buffer is well developed and contains forested habitat on the slopes. The wetland
buffer contains non-native invasive plant species, including Himalayan blackberry, English ivy,
and holly.
In general, the wetland has low to moderate hydrologic functions. The wetland is on a slope and
in a swale, and provides water quality treatment, removal of sediments, and flood water
retention. The seasonal saturated soil conditions and the proximity of the wetland allows for
groundwater discharge and recharge to occur in the local area.

5.0 WETLAND AND FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT REGULATIONS
Based on the information derived through site reconnaissance and readily available documents,
four wetlands are located on the southern portion the, site and one constructed ditch was
identified in the northwest portion of the site. The four onsite wetlands were historically part of a
ravine swale that was modified when the original school was constructed. Although modified, the
wetlands meet the biological criteria for wetlands. According to the Renton Municipal, Code
Section 4-3-050.M, the wetlands are Category 3 systems requiring 25-foot buffers. The wetlands
are Category 3 because they do not meet the criteria for Category 1 and 2 wetlands, and they
are disturbed wetlands that are characterized by human-related hydrologic alterations such as
ditching, channelization, and outlet modification; have soils alterations such as the presence of
fill, soil removal, and compaction of soils; and have altered vegetation. The City of Renton
Municipal code has many exemptions related to small Category 3 wetlands. The
hydrogeomorphic classifications of the onsite wetlands are Slope for Wetlands A, C, and D, and
Depressional for Wetland B. The Cowardin classification of the four onsite wetlands is Palustrine
scrub-shrub/emergent, seasonally flooded.
Molasses Creek, a Type A stream, is located offsite greater than 300 feet to the southeast.
Type A streams require a code-required buffer of 100 feet. The buffer from Molasses Creek does
not extend onto the site.
A ditch is located along the north boundary of the site near the northwest corner. The ditch was
clearly constructed in the 1970s per the contours shown on the Renton High School No. 3 Site
Plan, prepared by Fred Bassett' and Company/Architects (Appendix B). The ditch should not be
considered a jurisdictional wetland or stream because it was constructed when the original school
was constructed to convey runoff to a culvert along 128th Avenue SE.
Critical habitat, as defined by Renton Municipal Code 4-3-050.K, are not located on or adjacent to
the site, including habitat associated with the documented presence of species proposed or listed
by the federal government or State of Washington as endangered, threatened, candidate,
sensitive, monitored, or priority.
Federal and state agencies with jurisdiction over impacts to wetland located on and near the site
include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Washington State Department of Ecology.
6.0 CONCLUSION
Based on the 1997 manual, vegetation, soils, and hydrologic conditions necessary for areas to be
considered a wetland were found on the site. Four wetland areas and code required 25-foot
buffers were identified on the southern portion the site. In addition, one constructed ditch was
identified in the northwest portion of the site.
7.0 CLOSURE
The findings and conclusions documented in this report have been prepared for specific
application to this site. They have been developed in a manner consistent with that level of care
and skill normally exercised by members of the environmental science profession currently
practicing under similar conditions in the area. Our work was also performed in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in our proposal. The condusions and recommendations
presented in this report are professional opinions based on an interpretation of information
Wetland Delineation and Fish and Wildlife Habitat Report 1:1111001Lindbergh High School 7
210299.70
currently available to us, and are made within the operation scope, budget, and schedule of this
project. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
Wetland boundaries identified by AHBL, Inc. are considered preliminary until the flagged wetland
boundaries are validated by a jurisdictional agency. Validation of the wetland boundaries by the
regulating agencies provides a certification, usually written, that the wetland boundaries verified
are the boundaries that will be regulated by each agency until a specific date or until the
regulations are modified. Only the regulating agencies can provide this certification.
Because wetlands are dynamic communities affected by both natural and human activities,
changes in wetland boundaries may be expected; therefore, wetland delineations cannot remain
valid for an indefinite period of time. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers typically recognizes the
validity of wetland delineations for a period of 5 years after completion of a wetland delineation
report. Development activities on a site 5 years after the completion of this wetland delineation
report may require revision of the wetland delineation. In addition, changes in government
codes, regulations, or laws may occur. Because of such changes, our observations and
conclusions applicable to this site may need to be revised wholly or in part.

DEFINITION OF PLANT INDICATOR STATUS AND DATA FORMS
Indicator
Category Definitions
OBL Obligate Wetland. Occurs almost always (estimated probability > 99 percent)
under natural conditions in wetlands.
FACW Facultative Wetland. Usually occurs in wetlands (estimated probability 67 to
99 percent), but occasionally found in uplands.
FAC Facultative. Equally likely to occur in wetlands or uplands (estimated
probability 34 to 66 percent).
FACU Facultative Upland. Usually occurs in uplands (estimated probability 67 to
99 percent), but is occasionally found in wetlands (estimated probability 1 to
33 percent).
UPL Obligate Upland. Occurs in wetlands in other regions (as defined in the
National List of Scientific Plant Names), but occurs almost always (estimated
probability > 99 percent) under natural conditions in uplands in the region
specified. Species not on the list are assumed to be UPL and have an * to define
these species on the data forms.
NI No Indicator. These species have not been given an indicator status. They are
assumed to be upland or the adjacent regional indicator status is provided with a
# symbol to define these species on the data form.
