In general accordance with the 2009 International Building Code, Table 1613.5.2. IBC Site Class is based on <br /> the average characteristics of the upper 100 feet of the subsurface profile. <br /> 2. The test pits completed for this study extended to a maximum depth of 16.5 feet below grade. ZGA <br /> therefore determined the Site Class assuming that very dense soils extend to 100 feet as suggested by <br /> published geologic maps for the project area. <br /> • Ground Surface Rupture: Based on our review of the USGS Quaternary age fault database for <br /> Washington State,there does not appear to be a mapped Quaternary fault within a 10 mile radius of the <br /> site. Based on the reviewed database, it is our opinion that the risk of ground surface rupture at the site <br /> is low. <br /> • Landsliding: Based on the gently sloping topography of the site and surrounding vicinity, it is our <br /> opinion that the risk of earthquake-induced landsliding is low. <br /> Soil Liquefaction: Liquefaction is a phenomenon wherein saturated cohesionless soils build up excess <br /> pore water pressures during earthquake loading. Liquefaction typically occurs in loose soils, but may <br /> occur in denser soils if the ground shaking is sufficiently strong. The potential hazardous impacts of <br /> • liquefaction include liquefaction-induced settlement and lateral spreading. The soils encountered in our <br /> explorations are very dense and not considered susceptible to liquefaction. It is our opinion the risk of <br /> liquefaction at the site is very low. <br /> Stormwater Infiltration Feasibility <br /> The Glacial Till soils observed in the test pits generally contain a significant fraction of fines and are in a <br /> relatively dense condition. For purposes associated with stormwater infiltration, Glacial Till is generally <br /> Page 6 <br />
