f � <br /> Glemvood Tecrace <br /> Pilc Numbcr 126994 <br /> May 12. 1993 <br /> Vage 7 <br /> llydrolo�ic Conditions: Sapage was encountered in all of Uie tcst pits cxcept for TP-2 through TP-0. <br /> "Ihc H:.Icr Icvcls rangcd from 3.0 to 9.0 feet in depth. W'at�r levels were near the surface in the perforeted <br /> pipcs IocateJ along lhe existing cut slope. We could not determine the source(subsur}ace or surface)of the <br /> water collecting in perforatcd pipe. We suspect lhat it is some type of cut-off�rench. 71�c amount of <br /> sapage ranges from very slight in Uu fill slopc portion of tlie site (north) to hcavy in the vicinity of the <br /> rubble and cut slopc (south). \Ye suspcct that the ground water is a perchcd condition on the less <br /> pertncablc undcrlying soils,such as silt layers of lhe tr,utsitional beds. Ground�vater should bo expccted to <br /> be witLin the oubvash during mon of the ycar and may not tluctuate significantly between wet und dry <br /> periods oCthe year. Shallow ground water should be expecled Uvoughout lhe sitc even in tlic fill arcas. <br /> SENSITIVE AREA EVALUATIOIV <br /> Scismic HazArd <br /> 71ie Puget Sound Rcgion ir classified as a Zone 3 by tlic Uniform Building Caia. Hazards associated with <br /> seismiciry include liquefsction,ground movement attcnuation and reduction of siope stability. Liquefaction <br /> is caused by a risc in pore pressures in a loose sand deposit. The medium dense consistency and the higli <br /> rclativc pcmicnbility, in our opinion, indicalcs tlic w�derlying nativc deposits have a law potcnlial for <br /> liquefaction. The dcnsc nature of die soil conditions arc not expexted to prescnl problems azsociat�d with <br /> scismic huards ilml would c[tect U�e improvcn ats. The fill could exl�ibit some settlement follo«�ng a <br /> scismic evcn[. Since U�e sttuctures ovcr fill are to be founded through lhc fill, this sctQement should not <br /> significa�rtly impact Uie plann�d dcvclopmcnt.

'fltc crosion sensitivity is rclated to vcgetativc cover and the <br /> specific surface soil ty�cs (group classification), which arc related to dw underlying gcologic soil units. <br /> The follo«�ng G�ble outlines lhe crosion hazard for tLe on-site soils that have been stdppcd of vegetatian. <br /> 'Il�c soils have bcen classificd in accord:uice wilh tlro Soil Conscrvation Service (SCS) classification system <br /> �nd have been grouped���ith respect b the corresponding geologic unit. <br /> ¢colo ig•c Unit Surfncc Soil Sensitivity At Slopc 0-IS%16-39%>40% <br /> Qvt(Vaslion Till) Aldcnvood Med Med High <br /> Qva(Vashon Outwnsh) Aldenvood Med High High <br /> Qtb(Transitional Beds) Aldcrn�oocUEvcreR Med Med Iligh <br /> NELSON-COUVRETTE&ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> FFA-23-1�9C 12�n4 205 481 2510 96i �'•�79 <br /> � <br />
