� CDSALT GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION . 1 GEOSCIENCES EVERETT,WASHINGTON December 3,2019 Soil conditions may not be completely known from the geotechnical investigation. In the case of temporary cuts, the existing soil conditions may not be completely revealed until the excavation work exposes the soil. Typically, as excavation work progresses the maximum inclination of temporary slopes will need to be re-evaluated by the geotechnical engineer so that supplemental recommendations can be made. Soil and groundwater conditions can be highly variable. Scheduling for soil work will need to be adjustable,to deal with unanticipated conditions, so that the project can proceed and required deadlines can be met. If any variations or undesirable conditions are encountered during construction, we should be notified so that supplemental recommendations can be made. If room constraints or groundwater conditions do not permit temporary slopes to be cut to the maximum angles allowed by the WAC, temporary shoring systems may be required. The contractor should be responsible for developing temporary shoring systems, if needed. We recommend that Cobalt Geosciences and the project structural engineer review temporary shoring designs prior to installation,to verify the suitability of the proposed systems. 8.1.3 Erosion and Sediment Control Erosion and sediment control(ESC)is used to reduce the transportation of eroded sediment to wetlands, streams, lakes, drainage systems, and adjacent properties. Erosion and sediment control measures should be implemented and these measures should be in general accordance with local regulations. At a minimum, the following basic recommendations should be incorporated into the design of the erosion and sediment control features for the site: • Schedule the soil, foundation, utility, and other work requiring excavation or the disturbance of the site soils,to take place during the dry season(generally May through September). However,provided precautions are taken using Best Management Practices (BMP's), grading activities can be completed during the wet season(generally October through April). • All site work should be completed and stabilized as quickly as possible. • Additional perimeter erosion and sediment control features may be required to reduce the possibility of sediment entering the surface water. This may include additional silt fences, silt fences with a higher Apparent Opening Size(AOS),construction of a berm,or other filtration systems. • Any runoff generated by dewatering discharge should be treated through construction of a sediment trap if there is sufficient space. If space is limited other filtration methods will need to be incorporated. 8.1.4 Foundation Design The proposed residential buildings may be supported on shallow spread footing foundation systems bearing on undisturbed medium dense or firmer native soils or on properly compacted structural fill placed on the suitable native soils. If structural fill is used to support foundations, then the zone of structural fill should extend beyond the faces of the footing a lateral distance at least equal to the thickness of the structural fill. 5 PO Box 82243 Kenmore,WA 98028 cobaltgeoC% ait.cor 206-331-1097
