impacts on himself and the surrounding environment from Mr. Rathvon’s plans to widen and alter
Twana Way.
4. Michelle Oliver—1 hour
Ms. Oliver may be called to testify concerning her use of Twana Way and knowledge of

5. Keith Schembs and/or William Cedzich—1 hour
Mr. Schembs and/or Mr. Cedzich may be called to testify concerning geotechnical
deficiencies in the applicant’s permit submittals, including lack of slope stability analysis for
Twana Way, lack of sub-surface exploration borings and test pits, lack of erosion hazard evaluation,
lack of a boundary or topographic survey (without which there is no basis to verify slope angles,
road centerline, ROW limits, or proximity to critical area buffers, and undermines the reliability of
any proposed setbacks or safety assumptions), lack of a location map and site plan for road

improvements, lack of delineation of critical areas, buffers, and steep slopes, lack of slope stability
modeling (for both existing and proposed slopes), lack of soil logs, groundwater, and relevant
engineering properties, lack of FOS values for static, seismic, and construction loading conditions,
lack of evaluation of potential sediment delivery to streams and Dabob Bay, and lack of slope
hazard classifications on the applicant’s site plan. In addition, Mr. Schembs and/or Mr. Cedzich
may be called to testify concerning the nature of critical areas surrounding Twana Way, including
that the roadway is located in a mapped landslide hazard area, that the site is mapped by the WA
Department of Ecology Coastal Zone Atlas as containing unstable, old, and recent landslide
features, that the slope classification falls within Coastal Atlas and WA DNR categories requiring
hazard assessment, that the area meets the definition of Holocene epoch landslide activity due to
mapped evidence of mast wasting debris, and that streams crossing Twana Way provide a potential
sediment delivery to Dabob Bay, requiring erosion and water quality controls. Mr. Schembs and/or
Mr. Cedzich may be called to testify that given the location Twana Way and nature of the
surrounding environment, construction work on the road itself, and use of the road for heavy
construction vehicles and equipment, should not be undertaken without a thorough and code-
compliant geotechnical investigation and hazard assessment.
6. Richard Rathvon—1 hour
Mr. Rathvon may be called to testify concerning his development plans, any plans to widen
and/or alter Twana Way, and his related dealings or interactions with the residents of Twana Way.
