Shawish, PE <br />Bala Dodoye-Alali <br />RE: <br />Anderson Landslide Repairs <br />Temporary Erosion Control <br />4704 Harbor I ann. <br />Everett, Washington <br />NGA File No. 816909 <br />We recommend that temporary erosion control measures be promptly implemented on the exposed <br />landslide scarp on the Anderson's portion of the slide. The area is currently exposed and could <br />experience additional movement if not protected. <br />We recommend that the exposed scarp be covered with erosion control matting, as shown on the <br />Temporary Erosion Control Details on the attached two figures. The matting should be composed of <br />strong synthetic material and should be porous. The CONTECH TRM C45 erosion control matting, or <br />approved equivalent, should be appropriate for this application. Your landscape contractor may propose <br />an alternative matting, however we should review and approve any proposed alternatives prior to <br />installation. The platting should be thoroughly staked to the ground surface using 3-foot long metal <br />stakes. The matting should extend from the top of the slope, down to the property line, and should cover <br />the width of the slide scarp. Some removal ni vegetation and/or loose material may be needed to ensure <br />intimate contact between the erosion control material and the slope. <br />The above recommended system should provide adequate temporary protection for the slope against <br />nonual erosion stenhming from direct rainfall. The erosion control matting should not increase runoff <br />I/� <br />
