• • Geotechnical Fngineering Evaluation NGA File No. 916915 Pepe Retainin� Wall April 27, 2015 Everett, Washington Page 14 We recommend that NGA be eetained to p�•ovide monitoring and consultation services during construction to confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide recommendations for design changes should the conditions revealed during the work differ from those anticipatcd, and to evaluate whether the work activities co�nply with contract plans and specifications. We should be contacted a inii�imuin of one week prior to construetion activities and could attend pre-construction meetings if requested. All people �vho own or occ�ipy homes on or near hillsides sllould realize that landslide movcments are always a possibility. The landowner should periodically inspect the slope, especially after significant stot•m evei�ts. If distress is evident, a geotechnical engineer should be contacted for adviee on remedial/preventative meas�ires. The probability that landslidinb will occur is substantially reduced by the proper maintenance of drainage control measures at the site (the runoff from the roofs should be led to an approved discl�arge point away from the slope). Therefore, the homeowner should take responsibility for performing such maintenance. Consequently, we recommend that a copy of our report be provided to any future homeowners of the property if the home is sold. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget, our services have been performed in accordance with generally accepted geot�echnical engineering practices in effect in this area at the time this report was prepared. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made. Our observations, findings, and opinions are a means to idcntify and reduce the inherent risks to the owner. ••� NELSON GEOTECHN/CAL ASSOCIATES, INC.
