WA 98801 <br />(509) 665.7696 FAX (509)1365-7692 <br />NELSON GEOTECHNICAL ASSOCIATES, INC. (NGA) is pleased to submit our initial opinions <br />and this proposal for a subsurface geotechnical evaluation and repair recommendations for the landslide <br />that occurred on your property located at 4704 Harbor Lane in Everett, Washington. <br />INTRODUCTION <br />We visited the site on Wednesday, July I and on Friday August 14, 2009 to observe the surficial <br />conditions of a landslide that occurred on your property at the end of June. It is our understanding that a <br />significant water leak also occurred at the front end of the house and tlooded the basement, crawl space, <br />and garage areas around the time of the slide. The landslide occurred on the steep west -facing slopes on <br />the western side of your property. We observed a large exposed scarp starting near the top of the slope, <br />down most of the slope towards the ravine below. An existing swimming pool and small jactizzi are <br />located near die top of slope, and the house is located approximately 25 to 40 feet back from the top of the <br />slope. Evidence of settlement and subsidence was observed at the top of the slope and in the vicinity of <br />the pool. <br />The soils exposed in the slope appeared to be sandy with silt and gravel. We obsened seepage from the <br />scarp, approximately 15 to 20 feet down from the top of slope during our visit on July 1. We did not <br />observe seepage on the slope during our August 14'h visit, but we observed new eroding of the exposed <br />I/5 <br />
