1. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our geotechnical engineering services for the proposed short plat
development to be located at 13592 Southeast 159th Place in Renton, Washington (King County Parcel
#2223059022), which we understand and will create two new lots from the existing single lot. Infiltration
tests were performed at a total of two locations on the existing 0.65-acre parcel to evaluate the feasibility
of onsite infiltration of stormwater runoff. We understand that one of the proposed infiltration facilities will
be used to provide infiltration of roof runoff water from the roof of the proposed single-family residence
that would be located on the western portion of the property. The other infiltration facility will consist of a
permeable asphalt or concrete pavement driveway located on the western portion of the site. See the
figure entitled “Vicinity Map” located on page A-1 of the appendix.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We understand that the existing parcel (K.C. # 2223059022) will be short platted to create two new lots
for single-family residences. The existing single-family residence will be located on the eastern lot of the
future short plat, and a new single-family residence will be built on the new western lot. The Site Plan on
page A-2 of the appendix shows the layout of the proposed short plat with the new eastern 15,727 square
foot lot to be designated as Lot C and include the existing single-family residence. The new, western Lot
D will be 12,632 square feet in area, and will be the location of the new single-family residence.

3. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of services included a reconnaissance of the site by a geotechnical engineer, a review of
geologic literature, and the witnessing of the completion of three (3) exploratory test pits at the
approximate locations shown on the Site Plan on page A-2 of the appendix.
The geotechnical engineering services were performed by Otto Rosenau and Associates, Inc. (ORA) to
provide the following information:
A summary of the observed soil and groundwater conditions,
An evaluation of the existing site conditions,
A review of available geologic information,
Infiltration testing and the capability of the onsite soils to support infiltration on site for surface
water drainage
Seismic design considerations including liquefaction potential of the underlying soils,
Suitable foundation systems with estimated settlements,
Allowable bearing capacity for conventional foundation systems,
Lateral earth pressures and friction coefficients,
Consideration of the effect of the proposed development on the regulated slopes,
Influence of groundwater on the proposed construction, and
Limited site preparation and earthwork.
4. SURFACE CONDITIONS
The site consists of a rectangular-shaped parcel with an area of approximately 28,360 square feet (0.65
acres). The site is bounded by Southeast 159th Place to the south and single-family residences to the
west, north and east. An existing, two-story single-family residence with a basement that daylights to the
north is present at the eastern portion of the site. The existing residence has an attached three-car garage
located at the southeast side of the existing residence. An accessory building or detached garage is
located at the middle of the west side of the site. A paved loop driveway is present at the central portion
of the site to provide vehicular access to the attached 3-car garage and the detached garage with access
at two locations along SE 159th Place. The driveway is paved with asphalt concrete closest to the SE
159th Place and portland concrete cement between the two garages. Concrete stairs are located west of
the existing residence. See figure titled “Site Plan” on page A-2 of the appendix showing configuration
and the locations of the existing structures on the site.
The topography of the site slopes downward from the southwest corner of the site with an approximate
elevation of 445 feet (NAVD 88) to an approximate elevation of 430 feet (NAVD 88), located along the
north side of the site. The northwest portion of the site is heavily covered with ivy and blackberry bushes.

5. SITE CHARACTERIZATION
We reviewed the geological map on Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division
of Geology and Earth Resources, Washington State Geologic Information Portal’s website
(fortress.wa.gov/dnr/geology). The soils at or near the site are mapped as “Pleistocene age, glacial till
deposits” (Qgt). Glacial till (Qgt) deposits generally consist of a glacially-transported and deposited mix of
silts, sands, and gravels. These soils have been glacially overridden and typically have a dense to very
dense consistency and are typically have very low permeability rates. The mapped soils are shown on
the attached figure titled “Geologic Map” on page A-3 of the appendix.
We also reviewed the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) “SoilWeb” online mapping
(https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/WebSoilSurvey.aspx), which described the soils across the
site as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 0 to 8 percent slopes (AgB). Please see the attached figure titled
“NRCS Web Soil Survey”, which shows the project site on page A-4 of the appendix. Alderwood gravelly
sandy loam deposits are described as having originated from glacial drift and/or glacial outwash over
dense glaciomarine deposits.
Also, we reviewed King County IMAP online GIS website (http://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/iMap), the site
is located within a wellhead protection area for areas that would take five and ten year groundwater travel
time to a wellhead in the vicinity of the site. No steep slope hazard or landslide hazard areas or slopes
that are greater than 40% are mapped on adjacent on the property or on adjacent properties. A mapped
mapped erosion hazard area that is approximately 110 square feet in area is present at the northeast
corner of the site, on what will be Lot C. No mapped geologic hazard areas are present on the future Lot
D. Mapped erosion hazard areas are present on the adjacent parcels located immediately north of the
site.
6. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Three (3) test pit excavations (TP-1 through TP-3) were completed on July 30, 2019 using a rubber-
tracked mini-excavator and hand tools to depths ranging from approximately 1½ to 6 feet below the
existing site grades at the approximate locations shown on the Site Plan. Similar soil conditions were
encountered at each of the test pit locations with approximately 1 to 1½ feet of topsoil overlying weathered
glacial till and glacial till deposits. Weathered glacial till deposits were encountered underlying the topsoil
in the test pits designated as TP-1 and TP-2 at approximate depths of 1 to 1½ feet below existing ground
surface to a depth of 5 feet below existing ground surface in the test pit designated as TP-2. Glacial till
deposits were encountered underlying weathered glacial till deposits in the test pit designated as TP-2 at
approximate depth of 5 feet below existing ground surface and underlying topsoil in the test pit designated

as TP-3 at approximate depth of 1 foot below existing ground surface. The details and explanations of
the test pits are presented on pages A-5 to A-10 of the appendix.
The topsoil that was encountered in the test pit excavations generally consist of loose, brown, silty SAND
(SM) with varying amounts of gravel and organics. The fill material/topsoil was in a dry to slightly moist
condition.
The weathered glacial till deposits were encountered underlying the topsoil in test pit excavations
designated as TP-1 and TP-2 at depths ranging from 1 to 1½ feet below the existing grade. The
weathered glacial till deposits generally consist of medium dense to dense, orangish brown, silty SAND
(SM) with varying amounts of gravel. The weathered glacial till deposits were in a slightly moist condition.
The glacial till deposits that were encountered underlying the topsoil in the test pit designated as TP-3 at
approximate depth of 1 foot and underlying the weathered glacial till deposits in the test pit designated
as TP-2 at approximate depth of 5 feet below existing ground surface. The glacial till deposits generally
consist of very dense, light gray brown, Silty SAND (SM) with some gravel. The glacial till deposits were
in a slightly moist to moist condition.
Groundwater was not encountered in any our excavations and we anticipate that the groundwater will
not affect the proposed development if the recommendations presented in this report are followed.
7. INFILTRATION TESTING
Single ring percolation tests were performed at the test pit excavations designated as TP-1 and TP-3 on
July 31, 2019 to evaluate the infiltration characteristics in a future permeable pavement area (TP-1) and
a future infiltration facility for roof runoff from the future single family residence at the western lot. The
single ring percolation tests were performed at depths of approximately 2.7 feet and 1.5 feet below the
adjacent ground surface at TP-1 and TP-3 respectively. The base of each excavation was made level
using hand tools and was verified with a self-leveling laser level.
Single Ring Percolation Test
Two (2) single ring percolation tests were performed at the test pit excavations designates as TP-1 and
TP-3 using 3-foot diameter, 16-inch tall steel rings that were embedded into the ground approximately 2
to 3 inches to prevent water from flowing underneath. The rings were filled with potable water to depths
of 6 inches and maintained at depths of 6 inches for a 4- hour long soaking period on July 30, 2019.
Upon completion of the 4-hour long soaking period, we observed that the water did not drain away in less
than 10 minutes. As a result, the percolation rates were recorded approximately 18 to 24 hours after the
soaking period. The percolation rates were recorded on July 31, 2019, at the end of 30-minute long

periods for at least 90 minutes with the final water levels drop being used to calculate the percolation
rates. The observed final water level drop was 5/8 inches (TP-1) and 0 inches (TP-3) in a 30-minute
period, which works out for the measured percolation rates to be 48 minutes per inch for TP-1 and non-
measurable for TP-3. The design infiltration rate is calculated using the following formula.
Idesign = I measured x Fcorrection x Faggregate
Where,
I measured = Final measured infiltration rates measured at the test pit locations TP-1 (1.25 inches
per hour) and TP-3 (0 inches per hour).
Fcorrection = Correction factor for permeable pavement used to meet the LID Performance Standard.
= 0.6.
Faggregate = Correction factor based on the quality of the aggregate base material. = 0.9.
The results are presented in the table below with the preliminary design infiltration rates (Idesign) for each
test location for the permeable asphalt or concrete pavement located on the southern portion of the site.
Photographs were taken of the single ring percolation procedures are presented on pages A-11 and A-
12 of the appendix.

Based on a review of information on King County’s iMAP online mapping service and King County’s
KCRTS manual we understand that the site has the following hydrologic characteristics.
The project site is located in the SeaTac Rainfall region with a KCRTS scaling factor of 1.
The project is located within the Urban Growth Area (UGA).
The project site is located within Wellhead Protection areas – 5- and 10-year times of travel.

9. DISCUSSION
The engineering recommendations and advice presented in this report have been made in accordance
with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices in the area and are based on our
understanding of the geology of the area and on our experience with similar projects. Project conditions,
regarding type and location of structures and foundation loads, can change and subsurface conditions
are not always similar to those encountered during the subsurface exploration. Therefore, if
discrepancies are noticed, the geotechnical engineer must be contacted for review and for possible
revision of the recommendations.
10. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
10.1 GENERAL
Based on the conditions of the underlying soils as encountered during the exploratory test pits, it is our
opinion that the foundation systems for the proposed single-family residence on the western portion of
the site (future Lot D) can be supported with conventional foundational system that bear directly on the
very dense, glacial till deposits that were encountered in the excavations designated as TP-2 (at depth
of approximately 5 feet below adjacent ground surface) and TP-3 (at depth of approximately 1 foot below
adjacent ground surface). Please refer to the following sections of the report for specific site
recommendations.

Based on the infiltration testing performed at the site, lab test results, and the Water Quality Treatment
provisions listed in Section 5.2.1 of KCSWDM, it is our opinion that infiltration located at the southwestern
portion of the site is feasible to treat surface water at the proposed permeable asphalt or concrete
pavement at or near TP-1 at the southwestern portion of the site. We recommend that a design infiltration
rate of 0.68 inches per hour be used to design infiltration BMPs at this location.
However, due to the lack of any measured infiltration and the presence of the glacial till deposits
(impervious soils) at shallow depth (approximately 1 foot below adjacent ground surface) at TP-3, it is
our opinion that infiltration at the northern portion of future Lot D. As a result, we anticipate that a gravel-
filled trench basic dispersion system may be a suitable option for dispersing the runoff water from the
roof future residence towards the north property line, provided that a 25-foot wide vegetated flow path
can be permanently maintained between the gravel filled trench and the north property line. Figure
C.2.4.B from the 2015 King County Stormwater Design Manual (KCSWDM) is included on page A-17 of
the appendix, which presents several of the details related to a gravel-filled trench basic dispersion
system. Figure C.2.4.B from the 2015 KCSWDM is included on page A-16 of the appendix, which
presents several of the details related to a typical splash block basic dispersion system. Splash block
dispersion systems require a 50-foot long vegetated flow path, which would make it unsuitable for lots
with tight property line constraints.
If there is insufficient room for a gravel-filled trench or splash block basic dispersion systems,
consideration will need to be given to a detention system to handle the stormwater runoff from the future
roof of the single-family residence on Lot D.
10.2 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The seismic design of structures in the City of Renton is governed by the requirements of the 2015
International Building Code (IBC). We recommend that the site soils be categorized as Site Class D for
design purposes.
Risk-targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) ground motion response accelerations for this
are based on the maps in the IBC (Figures 1613.3.1(1) and 1613.3.1(2)) for 0.2-second and 1-second
spectral response accelerations on a bedrock site. The values for SS and S1 are spectral accelerations
(SRA) for a maximum considered earthquake event with a 2,475-year return period, or a 2 percent
probability of exceedance in 50 years.
The values recommended for use in this report were obtained from the Structural Engineers Association
of California (SEAOC) and California’s Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD)
website at (http://seismicmaps.org). The input parameters used with this website were the latitude and
longitude for the project site (47.4603° N, 122.1525° W). The following table presents recommended

Liquefaction may be defined as the sudden loss of shear strength of soil as the soil is subjected to a rapid
back and forth cyclic loading, such as during an earthquake. The mechanism that allows this to occur is
the buildup of excess pore water pressures between the soil particles. This excess pore water pressure
reduces the frictional contact between the soil particles, and reduces the shear strength of the soil. If the
earthquake is of large magnitude and duration, the soil can begin to behave more like a liquid than solid
and “liquefy”. In order for liquefaction to occur, several conditions must typically be present. These
include the following:
Saturated soil.
Fine to medium sand matrix containing less than about 10 percent fines (soil that can pass a
No. 200 sieve).
Very loose to medium dense soil conditions. This is usually defined as soils that have N-
values of 15 or less.
Based on the observed subsurface soil conditions encountered at the site and our understanding of
geologic conditions present at the site, it is our opinion that the potential for the occurrence of liquefaction
at the project site is low.
10.3 CONVENTIONAL FOUNDATION SYSTEM
It is our opinion that the foundation elements to be built for the new residential structure can be
satisfactorily supported on the conventional footings that bear directly onto the native, dense to very
dense, glacial till deposits or properly compacted structural fill material.

We recommend that an allowable bearing capacity of 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf) to be used for
the design of conventional spread footings. The allowable bearing capacity may be increased by one-
third for wind and seismic loads. If the recommendations in this report are followed, we estimate that
maximum post-construction settlements will be less than three-quarters (3/4) of an inch and differential
settlements will be less than one-half (1/2) of an inch between comparably loaded column footings.
Passive resistance should be evaluated using an equivalent fluid pressure of 300 pounds per cubic foot
(pcf) where foundation elements are cast on dense to very dense, native soils or properly compacted
structural fill materials. This value of passive pressure includes a factor of safety of 1.5. An allowable
coefficient of friction between footings and bearing soils of 0.4 may be used to resist lateral foundation
loads. This value includes a factor of safety of about 1.5.
10.4 CONCRETE SLABS-ON-GRADE
Structural fill can be placed at future slab-on-grade areas only after the complete removal of any
unsuitable soils. All fill placed below future slabs on grade must be placed as structural fill.
The slabs-on-grade should bear on a minimum of 6-inch-thick, free-draining, clean, crushed, gravel base
(Type 22 material). A robust vapor retarder such as 10-mil polyethylene sheeting shall be included
beneath the slab to minimize transmission of moisture through the concrete floor. A minimum, two-inch
thick layer of clean sand with less than 3 percent fines may be placed on top of the polyethylene sheeting
to protect the sheeting and to enhance the curing of the concrete slabs. The sand must not be saturated
at the time of concrete placement in order to enhance concrete curing. If slabs–on-grade are being
planned at heated areas, a more robust vapor barrier should be utilized, since the conditioned air in the
heated areas will tend to draw moisture from the near-surface groundwater that is present beneath the
site. ORA can provide recommendations for vapor barriers upon request.
10.5 BELOW-GRADE WALLS AND RETAINING WALLS
The below-grade foundation walls for this project must be designed as retaining walls. Lateral earth
pressures for design of permanent retaining walls with no hydrostatic pressures or other surcharge loads,
may be calculated using the following equivalent fluid densities in pounds per cubic foot (pcf):
Level Back Slope Condition Active (unrestrained):
Compacted granular soils or native soils against wall 37 pcf.
Level Back Slope Condition Active (restrained):
Compacted granular soils or native soils against wall 55 pcf.
Passive:

Embedded Portions of Foundation Elements in native soils 300 pcf.
No factor of safety has been applied to the active pressure values listed above. A factor of safety of
about 1.5 has been applied to the passive pressure value listed above. The geotechnical engineer should
be contacted to determine appropriate lateral earth pressures for situations not described above.
Seismic earth pressures were estimated using the Mononobe-Okabe pseudo-static method. We
recommend that seismic earth pressures be estimated using a rectangular pressure distribution equal to
6H, where H is the height of the retained soil behind the wall.
A total soil unit weight of 125 pounds per cubic foot should be used in design of any permanent below-
grade wall or retaining structures.
Passive resistance should be evaluated using an equivalent fluid pressure of 300 pounds per cubic foot
(pcf) where foundation elements are cast on structural fill and backfilled on both sides with structural fill
compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density (MDD). This value of passive pressure includes
a factor of safety of 1.5. An allowable coefficient of friction between footings and bearing soils of 0.4 may
be used to resist lateral foundation loads. This value includes a factor of safety of about 1.5.
10.6 EARTHWORK
The recommendations presented in this report are predicated on fulfillment of the following earthwork
recommendations.
10.6.1 Foundation and Slab Subgrade Preparation: All old concrete slabs, undocumented fill, organic
debris, and old topsoil must be removed from all new foundation element locations and future slab areas.
If construction activities are to be performed during periods of wet weather, we recommend that the
exposed foundation subgrade soils be protected with 4 to 6 inches of thoroughly compacted 1-1/4 inch
minus crushed rock, quarry spalls, controlled density fill (CDF), or a rat slab of structural concrete. The
exposed subgrade soil conditions should be verified by a representative of ORA to ensure that the soils
are adequately prepared to provide the required support.
10.6.2 Structural Fill – Material, Placement and Compaction: A granular import should be used as
structural fill. All fill and backfill materials should be placed in relatively horizontal loose lifts, not
exceeding 10 inches in thickness, and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density
(MDD) as determined by the modified Proctor test (ASTM D1557). If manually-operated equipment such
as a jumping jack compactor is used, the thickness of each loose lift should be no greater than 6 inches.
Light vibratory plate compactors are not suitable for the compaction of structural fill. Soils consisting of
clay, silt, peat or containing deleterious matter are generally not suitable for use as structural fill.

Structural fill material should be approved by ORA prior to use. The following table summarizes our
recommendations of fill material and compaction requirements for various types of aggregates.
Intended Use Specification Compaction Requirements
Structural fill below
foundation elements
Gravel backfill for Foundations
(WSDOT 9-03.12(1))
Each lift must be compacted to 95
percent of MDD per ASTM D1557
test procedure.
Fill behind below-
grade walls (outside
of zone of wall
drainage material)
Gravel Backfill for Walls (WSDOT 9-
03.12(2))
Fill placed within 5 feet of below-
grade walls or retaining walls shall be
compacted with manually-operated
compaction equipment. Fill placed at
depths greater than 2 feet below
finish subgrade elevation compacted
to 90 percent of MDD. Fill placed at
depths within 2 feet of finish
subgrade elevation must be
compacted to 95 percent of MDD, if
the area will be supporting
pavements or roadway.
Fill behind below-
grade walls at zone
of wall drainage
material
Gravel Backfill for Drains (WSDOT 9-
03.12(4))
No compaction until at least 18
inches of cover is present above
perforated drain pipe. Each
subsequent 12-inch lift lightly
compacted using manual
compaction equipment.
Capillary break
material below slabs-
on-grade
Clean, 5/8-inch crushed rock Each lift must be compacted to a firm
and unyielding condition over the firm
subgrade soils.
Structural fill to be compacted to 95 percent of MDD should be moisture-conditioned to within three (3)
percent of optimum moisture. Structural fill to be compacted to 90 percent of MDD should be moisture-
conditioned to within six (6) percent of optimum moisture content. Placement of frozen soils or placement
of soils on frozen ground should not be attempted.
10.6.3 Temporary Excavations: We recommend that the inclination of the temporary cut slopes be no
greater than 1.5H:1V (horizontal to vertical) for the fill materials and medium dense, native, weathered
till deposits and no greater than 1H:1V for the dense to very dense, native, glacial till deposits. An ORA
representative should evaluate the exposed soil conditions at the time of construction to verify that the

recommended slope inclinations are appropriate for the conditions being encountered. In addition, the
configuration for temporary cut slope inclinations may need to be modified during the course of
construction if site conditions change.
All temporary cut slopes and excavations must comply with the provisions of Washington Administrative
Code (WAC) Chapter 296-155, Part N, “Excavation, Trenching and Shoring.” The contractor performing
the work has the primary responsibility for protection of workers and adjacent improvements.
10.6.4 Erosion and Sedimentation Control: The migration of sediments from the site must be installed
and controlled in accordance with City of Renton requirements. We recommend that the following
minimum erosion control measures be employed at the site:
Provide silt fencing around the construction area to delineate the construction limits. No
construction or soil disturbance should take place outside of the construction limits.
Stockpiled soil at the site should be kept to a minimum. Any stockpiled soils should be covered
with carefully secured plastic sheeting.
Catch basin socks should be installed in nearby catch basins located downhill of the work area
that could be impacted by construction activities.
All sediment and soil should be removed from adjacent pavements at the end of each day of
construction activities.
Periodic inspection of the adequacy and condition of the installed erosion control measures by a
geotechnical engineer or an experienced representative assigned by the geotechnical engineer.
Additional erosion control measures may be required as construction progresses.
10.7 DRAINAGE
10.7.1 Dewatering: Based on our review of the proposed development, we do anticipate that
groundwater will not be encountered during construction of the new residential structure. We anticipate
that if dewatering is to be needed then it can be satisfactorily completed by routing water through ditches
to a low spot or sump in the excavation. We recommend that the sump depths be set to lower
groundwater to at least 2 feet below the base of excavation elevation. Runoff water and groundwater
collected in temporary excavations should be removed as soon as possible and should be discharged to
a location approved by the City of Renton in accordance with City of Renton requirements.
10.7.2 Below-Grade Wall Drainage: Good drainage is an integral part of the performance of earth-
supported structures such as foundations and retaining walls. New drainage will need to be provided
between the exposed soil at the excavations along the new foundation walls. We anticipate that this may
be most easily accomplished using a composite drainage panel such as CCW MiraDrain 6000, or an
approved equivalent. The composite drainage panel is installed with the filter fabric side against the soil

and the plastic, dimpled board facing the interior of the foundation. Water collected by composite
drainage panel will need to be routed to the interior of the foundation using a PVC pipe fitting made by
the drainage panel manufacturer that is designed for the system being used and passes through the
foundation wall or footing into an interior tight line collection system below the future subfloor. The
collected water then may be routed to the outfall of the existing foundation drain system, which may
require the use of a sump and sump pump, if gravity flow is not feasible.
11. REPORT LIMITATIONS
The recommendations presented in this report are for the exclusive use by Mr. Sandhu Kulwant for the
proposed development that is to be located at 13952 Southeast 159th Place in Renton, Washington. The
recommendations are based on readily-available geologic literature, configuration of the proposed
