We have enclosed a composite Air Photo Interpretation Map which <br /> combines the observed top-oS-slope chanbes and general drainage <br /> pattern cha�:iges from the three dates. As ehown, the genPr�l <br /> top-of-slope configuration has changed very little over the past <br /> 34 years except within the extreme west. extreme east and general <br /> central portion of the slope area. <br /> The major change noted Nas within the depression area noted sout'.� <br /> from Shore Avenue approximately in the east-central portion. <br /> It appears that development and construction of residences within <br /> this area has changed the depreasion from a larger and narrower <br /> area to a rounder and more localized depression area. The <br /> orginal outfall for this area was aPParently just west of the <br /> depression down the slape, but has been relocated due north. <br /> The upslope drainage into this area has changed very little. <br /> as has the drainage within the extreme eastly and westerly drain- <br /> age areas. <br /> HYDROLOGZC CONDITIONS i <br /> Ground water was encountered in the borings generally within <br /> the alluvial soils and sands and gravels overlying the dense ; <br /> Whidbey Formation sand/sili and dense glacial till. This ground i <br /> water appears to be perched above the denser underlying so9.ls � <br /> and derived Prom upslope surface water in£iltration. The depres- <br /> sion area (TB-4) and western portion (TB-1) indicate the greatest <br /> I <br /> amovnts and extent of ground water encountered back from the top- , <br /> of-slope. i <br /> Some ground water seepage was noted along the slope areasr partic- <br /> ularly within the more sandy materials of the Whidbey Formation <br /> above the sand/eilts. These aeepage areas are most noted towards <br /> the westerly portion of the slope area and are less apparent to- <br /> ward the east. Some local areas of seepage occur throughout the <br /> slope area. This local seepage may be due to the more granular <br /> nature of the upper elevation soils in these locals. (example <br /> STA 25*00) In general, however, we did not observe chronic ground <br /> water seepage within the majority of the slope area, and where <br /> observed was generally restricted to a local area. <br /> -5- <br />
