Re: Report on Geotechnuical Investigation
Proposed Sisaiyaket Residence
1.3601 d Avenue South
Tukwila, Washington
1tMP Project No. 02- 233 -01
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sisaiyaket,
This report presents the results of our geotechnical site evaluation on the vacant
property located near Southgate Park in Tukwila. it is understood that the owners are
planning to build a single family residence on the property identified as Parcel A
covering approximately 0.17 acres. Access to this property is from 42nd Avenue via a
driveway easement that crosses Parcel B on the east. A Boundary, Topographic and
Utility Survey prepared by Harstad Consultants was used as a reference for this
investigation. No plans have been prepared for this single family residence that we
understand will be built on the westerly side of the property.
The purpose of our geotechnical work was toll) obtain subsurface soil and groundwater
information in the area of the proposed structure, 2) conduct geologic reconnaissance
mapping of the slopes below the building pad, and 3) provide recommendations for the
design and construction of the proposed residence.
Site Conditions
Parcel A is situated above 42td Avenue on the northeast and an unimproved road
(Charles E. Adams Road No. 2) on the northwest. Existing slopes descend from the west
and north sides of the property down to these two roadway alignments. Maximum
height of these two slope areas is about 30 feet. At the northwest corner of the parcel,
the top of slope encroaches into the flat portion of the site. This westerly- facing slope is
about 20 feet high, and has an overall gradient of if laV.
Most of the parcel is flat and ranges from elevation 192 to about 197 feet. A gentle slope
on the south side of the parcel rises at a gradient of 31-1:1V to 4H:1V to the adjacent
property to the south. An old concrete slab that is in poor condition exists at the

northeasterly corner of the property. A portion of this slab is partially buried as shown
on Drawing No. i that shows our estimateed limits of the full slab. Rubble fill is exposed
over much of the property including the west- facing slope. There is a telephone
manhole near the northeast corner, and an existing side sewer extends offsite from the
southwest corner of the site.
Existing USGS mapping (Waldron — 1962) for this area of Tukwila was reviewed to
establish the general geologic conditions underlying the property. Field reconnaissance
mapping was also performed by an engineering geologist (Yonemitsu Geological
Services) to observe existing soil outcrops and to identify areas of potential instability.
Geologically the property is underlain by dense glacial deposits of fine- grained silt and
sand mixtures, and dense sands and gravels. These undifferentiated deposits (Qu)
extend from the upper building pad level down to the lower roadway areas on the
northwest and northeast sides of the property. Thick deposits of sandy colluvial soils
estimated to range up to J. to 3 feet in depth are present on the lower slopes, and there is
debris fill located at the top of the westerly- facing slope. No shallow or deep - seated
landslide features were observed during our geological reconnaissance mapping of these
slopes.
Seven test pits were excavated with a backhoc in the area of the proposed ho1LLe to
confirm the nature of the bearing soils. These exploratory trenches encountered
medium dense silt -sand mixtures containing broken concrete, brick, and miscellaneous
construction debris throughout the site. Maximum depth of the rubble fill was found on
the north and westerly sides of the site, and this fill ranged up to 6 to 7 feet as exposed in
the test pits. Refusal to concrete rubble was met in TF -3 at the northwest corner where
the depth of fill maybe as much as 8 or 9 feet.
Below the rubble fill we encountered very stiff sandy silt classified as glacio- lacustrine
deposits in five of the seven test pits. Groundwater seepage was not observed on the
native slope area or in the three shallow exploratory holes drilled on the pad area.
Perched groundwater conditions can develop on hard silt layers due to the higher
permeability of the overlying sandy soils, although there was no evidence of instability
or surface erosion related to perched water within the glacial deposits on the slope.
Locations of the exploratory borings and are shown on Drawing No. 1 entitled "Site
Plan," and the summary logs of borings are attached in Appendix A.
On the basis of our geologic investigation the subsurface exploration work, the existing
dense glacial soils encountered at depths ranging from 2 to 9 fet, will provide excellent

support for the proposed residence foundations. Based on slope stability analyses, the
property is considered grossly stable with a factor of safety (FS) in excess of 1,5.
Building and foundations setback recommendations were established on the results of
these analyses, our geologic mapping, and on our experience with these glacial deposits.
Control of surface drainage will be important in preventing storm water from running
over the top of the existing slopes.
Native vegetation and tree cover on the steep slopes below the property is well
established, and will continue to provide excellent erosion. protection. We recommend
that excavated onsite soils or miscellaneous debris not be thrown over the top of slope
for disposal due to the slope steepness. Localized areas of erosion that exist near the
base of the slope will not have any adverse impact on the stability of the overall slope or
the proposed residence on the building pad area.
Site Grading
The presence of the nibble fill over most of the site will require that it be removed and
replaced with a suitable compacted fill for support of the proposed residence. This
rubble fill is not appropriate for structure support because of its variable density and
strength characteristics. We recommend that all fill be excavated from the proposed
building pad, and for a distance of ten feet beyond the perimeter foundation walls of the
house. Existing rubble fill that extends over to the westerly slope area should also be
removed_ All concrete, brick and construction debris should be hauled offsite and not be
reused in the structural fills under the building pad area.
Imported granular soil such as pit run sand and gravel should be used to replace the
rubble fill. These soils should be placed in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 95% of
their maximum dry density (ASTM 1)1557 test method). Field testing should be
performed during the placement and compaction of the imported fill to verify that it
meets the specification requirements.
Foundation Design
Stability analyses show that the proposed io to 15 foot setback from the top of slope will
be more than adequate to provide permanent protection to the residence foundations.
We recommend that the buffer zone be reduced to to feet along the top of the steep
slope, and that the recommended building setback line be used as a basis for siting the
proposed residence. A factor of safety of at least 1.5 was obtained for a maximum 25
foot high slope exposing the dense glacial soils on or adjacent to this properly.
All footings should be placed at a depth of 18 inches on properly compacted fill soils.
Design should be based on an allowable soil bearing value of 2000 psf. Settlement of

The property drains generally from south to north with an overall fall in elevation of
about 5 feet. All roof down drains and yard area drains should be tightlined for
discharge to the street or to the natural drainage area to the west. Surface water runoff
must be prevented from running over the top of the slope, and it would be prudent to
construct a low landscape berm near the edge of the slope. Perimeter footing drains
should not be tied into the roof drains to avoid unncccssary saturation of the foundation
soils.
Summary
Field construction services should be considered an extension of this initial geotechnical
investigation, and are essential to the determination of compliance with the project
drawings and specifications. Such activities would include site excavation and

permanent slope construction; foundation excavation and subgrade preparation for
floor slabs; temporary erosion control measures; and subdrain installations.
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on i) our
interpretation and evaluation of soil conditions between and beyond exploration
locations, 2) confirmation of the actual subsurface conditions encountered during
construction, and 3) the assumption that sufficient observation and testing will be
provided during appropriate phases of the work.
Our findings and recommendations of this report were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted principles of geotechnical engineering as practiced in the Puget
Sound area at the time this report was submitted. We make no warranty, either express
or implied. Please call me if you have any questions, or you wish to discuss this report
in greater, detail.
