I <br /> I <br /> GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION <br /> EVERETT,WASHINGTON <br /> February 6,2018 <br /> If any variations or undesirable conditions are encountered during construction, we should be notified so <br /> that supplemental recommendations can be made. If room constraints or groundwater conditions do not <br /> permit temporary slopes to be cut to the maximum angles allowed by the WAC, temporary shoring <br /> systems may be required. The contractor should be responsible for developing temporary shoring <br /> systems, if needed. We recommend that Cobalt Geosciences and the project structural engineer review <br /> temporary shoring designs prior to installation,to verify the suitability of the proposed systems. <br /> 8.1.3 Erosion and Sediment Control <br /> Erosion and sediment control(ESC) is used to reduce the transportation of eroded sediment to wetlands, <br /> streams, lakes, drainage systems, and adjacent properties. Erosion and sediment control measures <br /> should be implemented and these measures should be in general accordance with local regulations. At a <br /> minimum, the following basic recommendations should be incorporated into the design of the erosion <br /> and sediment control features for the site: <br /> • Schedule the soil, foundation, utility, and other work requiring excavation or the disturbance of the <br /> site soils,to take place during the dry season(generally May through September). However,provided <br /> precautions are taken using Best Management Practices (BMP's), grading activities can be completed <br /> during the wet season(generally October through April). <br /> • All site work should be completed and stabilized as quickly as possible. <br /> • Additional perimeter erosion and sediment control features may be required to reduce the possibility <br /> of sediment entering the surface water. This may include additional silt fences, silt fences with a <br /> higher Apparent Opening Size(AOS),construction of a berm,or other filtration systems. <br /> • Any runoff generated by dewatering discharge should be treated through construction of a sediment <br /> trap if there is sufficient space. If space is limited other filtration methods will need to be <br /> incorporated. <br /> 8.1.4 Stormwater Management <br /> Due to the presence of very shallow groundwater, low soil permeability, and a shallow depth to a <br /> restrictive layer, infiltration of runoff is not feasible. We anticipate that one or more below-grade <br /> detention vaults will be required for storage and flow control. <br /> If concrete vaults are proposed,the following wall design criteria may be used. Additionally,an allowable <br /> soil bearing pressure of 4,o0o pounds per square foot (psf) may be used for foundation design, if <br /> applicable. <br /> The following table, titled Wall Design Criteria, presents the recommended soil related design <br /> parameters for retaining walls with a level backslope. Contact Cobalt if an alternate retaining wall system <br /> is used. <br /> I <br /> PO Box 82243 5 <br /> Kenmore,WA 98028 <br /> (206)331-1097 <br /> Cobaltgeo(a>gmail.com <br />
