Attention: Mr. Darrell Johnson
Dear Mr. Johnson:
We are pleased to submit this geotechnical engineering study for the proposed Chateau
Valley Center to be located at South 45�' Street and Davis Avenue South, Renton,
Washington. This study presents the results of our field exploration, and engineering
analyses. The scope of our services for producing this study was outlined in our proposal
PR-9511, dated October 11, 2001 .
Based on the results of our study, it is our opinion development of the site as planned is
feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. The proposed retirement facility and parking
garage will be constructed throughout the central and east portions of the property. The
proposed finish floor elevation of the garage level will be approximately elevation 103
feet. Based on the existing ground surface elevation along the east margins of the
property, excavations of approximately eight (8) to twelve (12) feet will likely be
necessary to establish the building subgrade elevation. Temporary slopes or a
combination of shoring and temporary slopes will be necessary to construct portions of
the building excavation.
Silty sand and sandy silt soils were generally observed at the test pit locations. The soils
were generally in a loose to medium dense condition throughout the upper ten (10) feet
of the excavations. At the time the test pits were excavated (October, 2001) the soils
encountered were generally in a wet condition. In our opinion, the proposed retirement
facility can be supported on conventional spread and continuous footings bearing on
competent native soils or structural fill. Recommendations regarding foundations,
excavation support, and other geotechnical issues are presented in this geotechnical
engineering study.

PROPOSED CHATEAU VALLEY CENTER

INTRODUCTION
General
This geotechnical study p�esents the results of our field exploration and engineering
analyses for the proposed Chateau Valley Center facility to be located at South 45�'
Street and Davis Avenue South, Renton, Washington. The proposed development,
subsurface conditions, and the site were evaluated for the purpose of formulating
geotechnical recommendations. The general location of the site is shown on the Vicinity
Map, Plate 1 . The approximate site boundaries and location of the proposed facility are
illustrated on the Test Pit Location Plan (Plate 2).
Project Description
We understand construction of a 179 unit retirement facility is planned for the site. A
parking garage will occupy the lower level of one wing of the complex. One level of
below grade construction will be necessary to construct the parking level. The finish
floor elevation of the parking garage will be approximately elevation 103 feet. Based on
the existing ground surface elevation along the east margins of the property, excavations
of approximately eight (8) to twelve (12) feet will likely be necessary to establish the
building subgrade elevation. Temporary slopes or a combination of shoring and
temporary slopes will likely be necessary to construct the eastern portions of the building
excavation.
Based on our understanding of the proposed site development, grading of the building and
pavement areas will primarily require cuts. The majority of the cuts will be necessary
along the east margins of the property, and throughout the footprint of the parking
garage. We understand the amount of fill necessary to raise existing site grades will be
minimal, and will occur primaril� throuqhout the pavement areas in the northern oortion�
of the site
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY II
Davis Avenue Associates, LLC E-951 1
January 16, 2002 Page 2
We understand the building construction will consist of post-tensioned slabs throughout
the proposed garage, and relatively lightweight wood frame construction throughout the
remainder of the facility. At the time this geotechnical study was prepared, specific
loading criteria were not available. Howeve�, based on our experience with similar
developments, we estimate column loads will be in the range of 200 to 400 kips. We
estimate wall loads will range between 2 to 4 kips per lineal foot, and slab-on-grade
loading of approximately 150 pounds per square foot (psf).
If the above design criteria are incorrect or change, we should be consulted to review the
recommendations contained in this report. In any case, ECI should be retained to perform
a general review of the final design.
SITE CONDITIONS
Surface
The subject property is 2.77 acres and is currently undeveloped. The approximate outline
of the property and adjacent roadways are illustrated on the Test Pit Location Plan (Plate
2). The site is heavily vegetated with deciduous trees and a variety of groundcover
species. The site topography generally slopes downward to the north and west. The
overall vertical relief across the site from the southeast to the northwest is approximately
twenty-two (22) feet.
The topographic survey completed by Touma Engineers indicates the presence of a storm
drain that may discharge onto the site near the southeast corner of the property. At the
time the test pits were excavated (October, 2001) areas of surface water that may be
associated with the storm drain were observed. Throughout the northwest portion of the
property, an existing drainage ditch appears to be collecting surface water runoff and
directing the water to a storm drain that enters the property along Davis Avenue South.
Subsurface
Subsurface conditions were assessed by excavating nine (9) test pits to a maximum
depth of twelve (12) feet below the existing site grade. The approximate test pit
locations are illustrated on the Test Pit Location Plan (Plate 2). Please refer to the test pit
logs (Plates A2 through A10) for a more detailed description of the subsurface conditions '
observed. The following is a generalized description of the subsurface conditions
encountered.

Loose to medium dense silty sand and sandy silt soils (Unified Soil Classification ML) i
were primarily observed at the test pit locations. The geologic map of King County '�
indicates the site is located on the margins of the alluvial deposits characteristic of the '
Kent Valley. Pre-Vashon drift (Qu) undifferentiated, is identified on the map in the vicinity ��
of the subject property. Lacustrine sand, silt, and clay, as well as glacial till can be '
encountered throughout this deposit. The King County Soil Conservation Survey (SCS)
classifies the site and surrounding areas to the east as gravelly sandy loam (Agc), or
glacial till. Immediately to the west of the property, the SCS indicates the presence of
urban land (Ur) which is associated with areas of land disturbance due to cuts and fills.
Based on the soil conditions observed and the geologic and SCS map classifications, '�
Hydrologic Soil Group C should be used for the site drainage design. 'I
At the time of the test pit excavations (October, 2001) the native silty sand and sandy II
silt soils were in a wet condition. In our opinion, due to the wet and moisture sensitive
nature of the soils, use of the soil as structural fill will be difficult. A summer �
construction schedule, in our opinion, may help improve the feasibility of successfully '
using the native soils as structural filL
Groundwater
Groundwater seepage was observed at several test pit locations at depths of
approximately two (2) feet to seven (7) feet at the time of our subsurface exploration
(October 2001). Control of groundwater seepage will likely be necessary during the
excavation phase of the planned development. Groundwater seepage levels and the
rate of seepage are not static; fluctuations in the level and rates can be expected '
depending on the season, amount of rainfall, surface water runoff, and other factors. ,
Generally, the level and rate of seepage is higher in the wetter winter months (typically
October through Mayl. �
Laboratory Testing
The results of laboratory tests performed on specific samples are provided in Appendix B,
or at the appropriate sample depth on the test pit logs (Plates A2 through A10). It is
important to note that these test results may not accurately represent the overall in-situ
soil conditions. Our geotechnical recommendations are based on our interpretation of
these test results and their use in guiding our engineering judgement. ECI cannot be
responsible for the interpretation of these data by others.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
Based on the subsurface conditions observed at the test pit locations and our
understanding of the proposed development, it is our opinion construction of the new
retirement facility is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. The primary geotechnical
considerations are associated with foundations support, site drainage, and excavation
shoring. Throughout the proposed building footprint, loose to medium dense sandy silt
and silty sand soils were observed at the test pit locations. Due to the variability in soil
conditions and soil density observed at the test pit locations, it is our opinion the
proposed retirement facility should be supported on conventional spread and continuous
footings bearing on competent native soils or structural fill.
Cuts of approximately eight (8) to twelve (12) feet below existing site grades will be
necessary to establish the finish floor elevation for the proposed parking garage. The
finish floor elevation for the proposed parking garage will be approximately elevation 103
feet. The construction of temporary slopes, or a combination of temporary slopes and
cantilever shoring will be necessary to complete the excavation. Based on the proposed
building footprint, the use of cantilever shoring will likely be necessary to support the ��
parking garage excavation along the east property line. The use of temporary slopes can i
be considered throughout other areas of the buildi�g excavation that are not in close
proximity to the property line. The extent of cantilever shoring necessary to support the
proposed building excavation should be determined once the final finish floor elevations
and building footprint are established. Design recommendations for cantilever shoring are
presented in the "Cantilever Shoring" section of this report.
Surface water runoff entering the site from the east will need to be intercepted and
directed around the building site. We understand the p�oject civil engineer has
assessed the influence of offsite surface water runoff entering the site. We understand
the drainage plan will provide drains along the perimeter of the site, as necessary, to
address offsite surface water runoff. The installation of perimeter f�oting and
foundation drains will be necessary to intercept groundwater around the building
foundation. D�ainage recommendations are provided in the "Permanent Retaining and
Foundation Walls" and "Site Drainage" sections of this report.

This geotechnical study has been prepared for the exclusive use of Davis Avenue
Associates, LLC, and their representatives. This study was prepared for specific
application to this project only, and in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill
ordinarily exercised by other members of the geotechnical profession currently practicing
under similar conditions in this area. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
We recommend that this geotechnical study, in its entirety, be included in the project
contract documents for the information of the contractor.
Site Preparation and General Earthwork
The proposed building and pavement areas should be stripped of vegetation and
deleterious materials. The ground surface where structural fill or foundations will be
placed should be observed by a representative of ECI. Excavation depths of up to
approximately eight (8) to twelve (12) feet below existing grades will be necessary to
construct the parking garage and adjacent building areas. A combination of temporary
slopes and cantilever shoring will be necessary to construct the excavation. Temporary
slopes used to construct the excavation should be cove�ed with plastic sheeting to
reduce the potential for soil erosion. Groundwater seepage encountered in the excavation
should not be allowed to collect in the excavation. Where groundwater seepage is
encountered along the temporary slope face, two-inch crushed rock can be used to help
reduce soil piping along the slope, if necessary. An ECI representative should observe the '
excavation and temporary slopes to verify soil and groundwater conditions.
Based on the subsurface conditions observed at the test pit locations, medium dense
sandy silt and silty sand will likely be encountered at the building subgrade elevations.
Due to the moisture sensitive nature of the native soils, measures to reduce soil
disturbance along the building subgrade may be necessa�y if the construction is
performed during the wet season. Two-inch crushed rock or larger two-inch to four-inch
quarry spalls can be placed along the building subgrade to help reduce construction
related disturbances to the native soils.
The building foundations should be supported on competent native soils or structural fill.
If loose or unstable soils are encountered in the foundation areas, overexcavation and ;
replacement with structural fill may be necessary. The foundation subgrade for the I
proposed building foundations should be observed by a representative of ECI to verify soil
conditions. �

Structural fill is defined as compacted fill placed under foundations or other load-bearing
areas. Structural fill beneath foundations should be placed in horizontal lifts not
exceeding twelve (12) inches in loose thickness and compacted to a minimum of ninety
(90) percent of its laboratory maximum dry density. The maximum dry density should be
determined in accordance with ASTM Test Designation D-1557-91 (Modified Proctor).
The fill materials should be placed at or near the optimum moisture content.
The native sandy silt and silty sand soils were generally in a wet condition at the time of
our exploration. In our opinion, the native sandy silt and silty sand soils will not likely be
suitable for use as structural fill in foundation areas. Structural fill used in foundation
areas should be a granular material with a moisture content that is at or near the optimum
moisture content. During wet weather conditions, structural fill used in foundation areas
should consist of a well graded granular soil with less than five percent fines (percent
passing the #200 sieve, based on the minus 3/4 inch fraction). Samples of fill soils
intended for use in foundation areas should be submitted to ECI for laboratory testing and
approval.
Shoring System
The use of temporary shoring will likely be necessary along portions of the east building
excavation. Due to the proposed excavation depths, conventional cantilevered shoring
consisting of soldier piles and lagging can be considered for temporary support of the
excavation. In our opinion, due to the generally loose condition of the existing fill and
native soil that will be encountered in the building excavation, soil nailing of the
excavation will be difficult to accomplish successfully. The potential for groundwater
seepage and water bearing sands along the lower portions of the excavation will also
create difficult soil nailing conditions. If desired, the feasibility of soil nailing can be
assessed further, if requested.
To reduce the height of the shoring, temporary slopes can be constructed above the
shoring wall in areas where there is available space, or where easements have been
granted. For preliminary design purposes, temporary slopes constructed above the
shoring can be inclined at 1 .5H:1 V (Horizontal:Vertical).

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Davis Avenue Associates, LLC E-951 1
January 17, 2002 Page 7
Cantilevered Shoring
Temporary slopes constructed above the proposed temporary shoring will impart higher
lateral earth pressures on the shoring. An active earth pressure imposed by an equivalent
fluid with a unit weight of forty-five (45) pcf can be used for shoring where slopes
inclined at 1 .5H:1 V are present above the shoring. Where horizontal backfill conditions
are present, an equivalent fluid with a unit weight of thirty-five (35) pounds per cubic foot
(pcf) can be used. These lateral earth pressure value assume no surcharges, and no
hydrostatic pressure. Whe�e applicable, surcharge loading from adjacent structures,
vehicles, or any other load source should be included in the shoring design. Surcharge
loading from adjacent roadways or buildings should be considered if the load source is
within a horizontal distance equal to the excavation depth. To account for traffic
surcharge loads, seventy (70) pounds pe� square foot (psf) should be applied in a
rectangular distribution along the height of the shoring wall, where applicable. ECI can
provide modified equivalent fluid pressures to account for sloping conditions above the
shoring that are different from those described above.
Passive pressure acting along the embedded portion of the soldier piles may be used to
resist active earth pressures and surcharge loading. The passive earth pressure may be
calculated using an equivalent fluid with a unit weight of three hundred (300) pcf. The
upper two feet of the embedded portion of the soldier pile should be neglected when
calculating passive resistance. The passive resistance can be applied to two times the
diameter of the soldier piles.
Mobilization of full passive pressure assumes that the excavation bottom is horizontal for
at least four times the depth of the soldier pile embedment. ECI should be contacted to
provide appropriate design values if sloping conditions are present along the excavation
bottom. A typical pressure distribution for a temporary cantilever wall design is shown
on Plate 3.

Soldier Piles
The cantilever soldier piles must penetrate far enough below the bottom of the
excavation to prevent wall movement. As mentioned previously, passive resistance along
the embedded portion of the pile can be calculated using an equivalent fluid of three
hundred (300) pcf. The allowable axial capacity of the soldier piles in compression can
be developed from a combination of end bearing at the tip of the pile and skin friction
along the shaft of the pile. For design purposes, we recommend using an allowable end
bearing of 10 kips per square foot (ksf) for piles penetrating at least ten (10) feet below
the excavation level. Resistance along the embedded portion of the pile shaft can be
calculated using a unit skin friction value of 0.75 ksf for piles penetrating at least ten (10)
below the excavation level. Above the excavation level, frictional resistance along the
soldier pile should be neglected.
The piling contractor should be prepared to case the soldier pile excavations if
groundwater seepage and caving of the excavation are encountered. The success of
open hole excavations without casing should be verified at the beginning of construction.
The bottom of the soldier pile excavations should be free of loose soil prior to placing the
structural concrete or lean mix. If an excessive amount of groundwater is encountered at
the bottom of the holes, the concrete should be tremied into the holes.
Lagging
The effects of soil arching between the soldier piles allows the lagging for the temporary
shoring to be designed with a reduced value of lateral earth pressure. For soldier piles
with a center to center spacing of at least three pile diameters, a 50 percent reduction of
the lateral earth pressures can be used for the design of lagging.
Lagging installed between the soldier piles is used to support the sides of the excavation,
and helps prevent subsidence at the ground surface around the excavation. When the
excavation begins, installation of the lagging should begin immediately to help reduce
sloughing of the excavation. The contractor should be prepared to address the potential
for sloughing of the excavation during the lagging operation. Groundwater seepage may
also contribute to sloughing.

� The void space between the excavation and the back of the lagging should be backfilled
with a free-draining material. The shoring wall should be backfilled as soon as possible
after installation of the lagging to help reduce subsidence and lateral movement of the
excavation. The backfill should not prevent or impede the passage of groundwater.
Where localized areas of sloughing and the creation of voids develop, the use of lean mix
injected through the lagging and into the void area can be considered.
Shoring Monitoring
Whenever excavations are made adjacent to existing streets, utilities and structures, there
exists the potential for excavation related ground movements. A monitoring program
should include the surveying of adjacent streets and structures for purposes of detecting
any horizontal or vertical movements related to the excavation. We recommend the
establishment of a monitoring program such that excessive movements are detected
early, to allow for remedial actions to be taken to prevent serious damage to adjacent
facilities and structures. Prior to beginning the proposed excavation, we recommend
performing a detailed photo and videotape survey of the adjacent pavement areas and
structures. Periodic monitoring of these areas should be performed throughout the
duration of construction.
Survey points should be established along the temporary shoring wall to monitor
horizontal and vertical movements during the excavation phase of construction. The �
survey points should be established and monitored by a licensed surveyor. ECI should �I
meet with the contractor and surveyor prior to the installation of the shoring to discuss
the location of the monitoring points, and to establish a program for acquiring the
readings. All readings should be reviewed by an engineer from our office.
We estimate lateral movements at the top of the soldier piles should not exceed one inch. I
However, movements in excess of one inch may occur as a result of construction related '
disturbances or unforeseen site conditions. Piles with movements in excess of one inch I
should be evaluated by ECI. If necessary, remedial measures will be recommended. ''

Foundations ,
Throughout the proposed building footprint, loose to medium dense sandy silt and silty '!
sand soils were observed at the test pit locations. Due to the variability in soil conditions �,
and soil density observed at the test pit locations, it is our opinion the proposed '
retirement facility should be supported on competent native soils or structural fill. Loose I
or unstable soils encountered at the footing subgrade should be overexcavated and
replaced with a granular structural fill. The width of the overexcavation below the
footings should extend a minimum of twelve (12) inches beyond the edges of the I
foundation. An ECI representative should observe the foundation subgrade and the
placement and compaction of structural fill soils in the foundation areas. �
Provided the foundations are supported on competent native soils or structural fill, an
allowable soil bearing capacity of three thousand (3,000) psf can be used for design of
the footings. Continuous and individual spread footings should have minimum widths of
eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24) inches, respectively. Loading of this magnitude would
be provided with a theoretical factor-of-safety in excess of three against actual shear
failure, provided the foundations are placed on at least two feet of structural fill. A one-
_ third increase in the above allowable soil bearing capacity can be assumed for short-term
seismic loading conditions.
Provided the foundations are installed in accordance with the recommendations contained
in this report, we estimate total foundation settlements of approximately one inch and
differential settlement of approximately one half inch. Most of the anticipated
settlements should occur during construction as dead loads are applied.
Lateral loads can be resisted by friction between the base of the foundation and the
supporting soil, and by passive soil pressure acting on the face of the buried portion of
the foundation. Resistance to lateral loads from passive earth pressures can be
calculated using an equivalent fluid pressure of three hundred fifty (350) pcf. To achieve
adequate passive resistance, the foundations must be backfilled with a granular structural
fill. For frictional capacity, a coefficient of 0.40 can be used for foundations bearing on
granular structural fill. These lateral resistance values are allowable values; a factor-of-
safety of 1 .5 has been included.
� The footing excavations should be observed by a representative of ECI to assess soil
conditions and the need for overexcavation. Density testing of the structural fill placed in
foundation areas should also be performed periodically by ECI.

Permanent Retaining and Foundation Walls
The foundation walls for the proposed facility should be designed to resist lateral earth
pressures from the retained soils, and any surcharge loading. For a restrained foundation
wall condition, an equivalent fluid of fifty (50) pcf can be used to calculate the lateral
earth pressures on the foundation walls. For unrestrained cantilever retaining wall
conditions, an equivalent fluid of thirty-five (35) pcf can be used f�r calculating earth
pressures. Lateral earth pressures calculated using the above equivalent fluid values
assume drainage will be provided around the walls such that hydrostatic pressures cannot
develop. If sloping backfill conditions are present behind the walls, ECI should review the
slope configuration and provide supplement recommendations for surcharge loading, if
applicable. For traffic surcharge loading, seventy (70) psf should be applied in a
rectangular distribution along the height of the wall, where applicable.
The walls should be provided with a perforated drain pipe and backfilled with a free-
draining material. The free-draining material should extend at least eighteen (18) inches
behind the wall. The remainder of the backfill should consist of granular structural fill. A
typical wall backfill and drainage detail for the foundation walls is illustrated on Plates 4.
In areas where the permanent foundation wall will be constructed along the temporary
shoring, sheet drain material such as Mira-Drain 6000 should be attached to the lagging
of the temporary shoring. Two-inch diameter weep holes spaced approximately every six
feet should be installed at the base of the wall. The weep holes should be connected to a
collector pipe installed along the inside perimeter of the foundation. A typical sheet drain
and collector pipe detail is illustrated on Plate 5.

Seismic Desiqn Considerations
The Puget Sound region is classified as Zone 3 by the Uniform Building Code fUBC). The
largest earthquakes in the Puget Sound region have been subcrustal (intraplate? events,
ranging in depth from fifty (50) to seventy (70) kilometers. Such deep events have
exhibited no surface faulting. Weaver and Shedlock (1989) researched the probable or
known source areas for the crustal, intraplate, and subduction zone earthquakes in the
Washington and Oregon area. Crustal and int�aplate earthquakes are the only events in
Washington and Oregon in which there is a historical record. Shallow crustal earthquakes
occur within the North American Plate, and typically do not exceed focal depths of
app�oximately 20 kilometers. Intraplate earthquakes occur in the subducting Juan de
Fuca plate, and typically occur below depths of 40 kilometers. The recent February 28,
2001 earthquake that was focused just north of Olympia, Washington was an intraplate
earthquake, and had a magnitude of M� =6.8. The subduction zone earthquake, in which
there is no historical record in the Washington and Oregon area, would have its source
along the interface between the North American Plate and the subducting Juan de Fuca
Plate. Magnitude 8+ earthquakes are thought to be possible along this interface, and
would occur at depths of approximately 50 to 60 kilometers (Weaver and Shedlock,
1989).
The UBC Earthquake regulations have established a series of soil profile types that are
used as a basis for seismic design of structures. Based on the encountered soil
conditions, it is our opinion that soil type So from Table 16-J of the 1997 UBC should be
used for design.
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soils lose all shear strength for short periods of
time during an earthquake. The effects of liquefaction may be large total and/or
differential settlement for structures with foundations founded in the liquefying soils.
Groundshaking of sufficient duration results in the loss of grain-to-grain contact and �apid
increase in pore water pressure, causing the soil to behave as a fluid for short periods of
time.
To have potential for liquefaction, a soil must be cohesionless with a grain size
distribution of a specified range (generally sands and silt); it must be loose to medium-
dense; it must be below the groundwater table; and it must be subject to sufficient
• magnitude and duration of groundshaking.
Earth Consultants, Inc.
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Davis Avenue Associates, LLC E-951 1
January 17, 2002 Page 13
Based on the soil and groundwater conditions observed at the site, it is our opinion that
the site has a low susceptibility to liquefaction. The medium dense to dense condition of
the native soils is the primary basis for this conclusion.
Slab-on-Grade Floors
Slab-on-grade floors for the proposed facility should be supported on competent native
soils or structural fill. Loose or unstable subgrade soils should be compacted or replaced
with structural fill. A minimum four inch capillary break consisting of free drai�ing sand
or gravel with a fines content of less than 5 percent should be placed below the slab. A
vapor barrier consisting of 6-mil plastic sheeting should also be placed below the slab to
help reduce the buildup of water vapor below the slab. The subgrade soils in the slab-on-
' grade areas should be observed by a representative of ECI prior to constructing the slab.
Site Drainage
Installation of a perimeter foundation drain around the foundation walls for the proposed
� facility is recommended. Plates 4 and 5 il�ustrate a typical perimeter drain at the
foundation walls. Plate 6 provides a typical perimeter drain detail for a shallow footing.
Groundwater collected in the perimeter foundation drain system should be directed to a ,
� tightline drain system. The roof drain system should not be connected to the perimeter �
drain system.
The presence of groundwater seepage should be expected along the face of the proposed II
temporary slopes for the building excavation. Greater amounts of seepage should be ',
expected if the construction is performed during the winter and early spring. In our �
opinion, the impact of groundwater seepage during construction will be minimal if the
construction is performed during the summer months. An ECI rep�esentative should be
on-site during the excavation phase of construction to assess groundwater conditions. If I
excessive groundwater conditions are encountered, the use of sumps may be necessary �
to collect and discharge groundwater seepage from the excavation.
Excavations and Slopes i
The following information is provided solely as a service to our client. Under no
circumstances should this information be interpreted to mean that ECI is assuming �
responsibility for construction site safety or the contractor's activities; such responsibility
is not being implied and should not be inferred.
Earth Consultants, Inc.
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Davis Avenue Associates, LLC E-951 1
January 17, 2002 Page 14
In no case should excavation slopes be greater than the limits specified in local, state,
and Federal safety regulations. Based on the information obtained from our field
exploration, the soils observed would be classified as Type C soils by OSHA. As such,
temporary cuts in these soils should be sloped at an inclination no steeper than 1 .5H:1 V
(Horizontal:Vertical).
ECI should observe the excavations to assess soil and groundwater conditions, and verify
the OSHA soil type. As previously discussed, groundwater seepage present along
temporary slopes may cause piping and erosion of the slopes. Two-inch crushed rock
can be placed in these areas to control piping and slope erosion, if necessary. Temporary
slopes should be protected with plastic sheeting.
Permanent cut and fill slopes should be inclined no steeper than 2H:1 V. Cut slopes
should be observed by ECI during excavation to verify that conditions are as anticipated.
Supplementary recommendations can then be developed, if needed, to improve stability,
including flattening of slopes or installation of surface or subsurface drains. In any case,
water should not be allowed to flow uncontrolled over the top of slopes.
Permanently exposed slopes should be seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation
to reduce erosion and improve stability of the surficial layer of soil.
Utility Trench Backfill
Based on the soil conditions encountered at the time of our exploration, the native soils
should provide adequate support for utilities. If remedial measures are necessary to
provide adequate support for utilities, the unsuitable soils can be overexcavated and
replaced with a rock ballast and pipe bedding material such as pea gravel.
Utility trench backfill is a primary concern in reducing the potential for settlement in '
pavement areas. It is important that the utilities be adequately supported in the bedding
material. The material should be hand tamped to ensure support is provided around the
haunches of these structures. Fill should be carefully placed and tamped to about twelve
(12) inches above the crown of the pipe before heavy compaction equipment is brought
into use. The remainder of the backfill should be placed in lifts having a loose thickness
of less than twelve (12) inches. A typical trench backfill section and compaction
requirements for load supporting and non-load supporting areas is presented on Plate 7.

Pavement Areas
The adequacy of site pavements is related in part to the condition of the underlying
subgrade. ECI should observe proofrolling of the pavement subgrade prior to constructing
the pavement section. The top twelve (12) inches of the subgrade should be compacted
to 95 percent of the maximum dry density (per ASTM D-1557-91). It is possible that
some localized areas of soft, wet or unstable subgrade may still exist after this process.
Therefore, overexcavation and a greater thickness of structural fill or crushed rock may be
needed to stabilize these localized areas.
For preliminary design, the following pavement section for lightly-loaded areas can be
used:
• Two inches of asphalt concrete (AC) over four inches of crushed rock base (CRB)
material, or
• Two inches of AC over three inches of asphalt treated base (ATB) material.
Heavier truck-traffic areas will require thicker sections depending upon site usage,
pavement life and site traffic. As a general rule, the following sections can be considered
for truck-trafficked areas:
• Three inches of AC over six inches of CRB, or
• Three inches of AC over four and one-half inches of ATB.
These pavement thicknesses may be modified based on anticipated traffic loads and
frequency.
Asphatt concrete (AC), asphalt treated base (ATB), and crushed rock base (CRB)
materials should conform to WSDOT specifications. All rock base should be compacted �
to at least 95 percent of the ASTM D-1557-91 laboratory test standard.

LIMITATiONS
Our recommendations and conclusions are based on the site materials observed, selective
laboratory testing and engineering analyses, the design information provided to us by you,
and our experience and engineering judgement. The conclusions and recommendations
are professional opinions derived in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill
ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently practicing under similar
conditions in this area. No warranty is expressed or implied.
The recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the
test pits. Soil and groundwater conditions between exploration sites may vary from
those encountered. The nature and extent of variations between our exploratory
locations may not become evident until construction. If variations do appear, ECI should
be requested to reevaluate the recommendations of this report and to modify or verify
them in writing prior to proceeding with the construction.
Additional Services
We recommend that ECI be retained to perform a general review of the final design and
specifications to verify that the earthwork and foundation recommendations have been
properly interpreted and implemented in the design and in the construction specifications.
We also recommend that ECI be retained to provide geotechnical services during
construction. This is to observe compliance with the design concepts, specifications or
recommendations and to allow design changes in the event subsurface conditions differ
from those anticipated prior to the start of construction. We do not accept responsibility j
for the performance of the foundation or earthwork unless we are retained to review the '
construction drawings and specifications, and to provide construction observation and
testing I

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION
E-9511
Our fieid exploration was performed on November 2, 2001 . The approximate test pit
locations were determined from existing landmarks presented on available plans. The
locations of the test pits should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the
method used. These approximate locations are shown on the Test Pit Location Plan,
Plate 2.
The field exploration was continuously monitored by a geologist from our office, who
classified the soils encountered and maintained a log of each test pit, obtained
representative samples, measured groundwater levels, and observed pertinent site
features.
All samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification
System that is presented on Plate A1, Legend. Logs of the test pits are presented in the
Appendix A, Plates A2 through A10. The final logs represent our interpretations of the
field logs and the results of the laboratory tests of field samples. The stratification lines
on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types. In actuality, the
transitions may be more gradual.
