There is a foot path on this bench which winds down the bluff face. Although the bench was originally 10' wide, a small landslide has not limited the width to 5' in one area - The bluff then flattens to a slope of approximately 95% with lig e) �a Y understory growth with a vertical elevation difference of 90'±. 1 �1' d . rl',D • The parcel is bound by residential properties as follows: SEP 0 $ 2006 - North and west by single-family residences - East and south by undeveloped parcels JEFFERSON COUNTY DCD • Zoning is Rural Residential 1 unit/5 acres (RR 1:5) with the following setbacks: - Front: 20 ft E.\_Jobs\05\0585 Niblock\SWM\0585 SWM&Geo Report 2.doc page 1 of 7 • • Quadra Engineering 240 W.

All fill shall be compacted in 8 inch maximum loose thickness lifts to 95% of the maximum Modified Proctor density in accordance with ASTM D1557. - Twelve inches of clean and compacted sand shall be placed under all footings. - The maximum allowable soil bearing value for concrete foundations, placed on compacted sand as described above, is 2000 pounds per square foot (psfl. - Basement foundation walls should have free draining granular backfill or a drainage membrane such as Delta Geo Drain Quattro, available from Blake Sand & Gravel (360) 681-2877. Use a perforated pipe foundation drain for water removal at the bottom of the wall. The perforated pipe should be bedded in drain rock and the rock wrapped with filter fabric. There should be gravity outlets down-slope from the house, conveyed in a closed conduit within and across the bluff face. - An equivalent fluid pressure of 35 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) should be used for active earth pressure in foundation wall lateral load analysis. For sliding analysis use 0.35 as a coefficient of friction and 200 pcf for passive earth pressure. - Concrete floor slabs should be placed on a minimum 4-inch thick uniform blanket of clean, compacted sand. The sand should be on dry glacial till or on 8 to 12 inches of 2-inch crushed rock. A 20-mil visqueen vapor barrier should be placed under the sand. The slab should not be structurally connected to perimeter or interior footings. - For site grading away from the house, cuts in undisturbed soil shall have a maximum slope of 1.5 horizontal to 1.0 vertical. Provide toe of slope ditches to remove water seeping from the cut face. - For site grading away from the house, fill material shall have a maximum slope of 2.0 horizontal to 1.0 vertical.

This creates instability of the slope by the introduction of layers of greatly differing permeability and planes of weakness. - The bluff shows evidence of a small landslide. The slide is located approximately 25' below the top of bank on a bench. The width is approximately 10-15'. Other areas of the bluff in this area show evidence of older slides. - The bluff face slope is far in excess of any natural angle of repose for this soil type. No analysis was undertaken to determine a natural angle of repose for this bluff. - This soil type's erosive characteristic's becomes severe on slopes greater than 30%. This erosive: action significantly accelerates the deterioration of the bluff face. • Geologically Hazardous Area Mitigation Measures - A standard 30' buffer, measured from the top of the bluff, is required per UDC Section 18.15.275(6)f and is shown on the site plan. No work or alteration is proposed within the landslide hazard area or its buffer. This buffer shall be prominently and permanently delineated with 6" x 6" landscape timbers laid end-to-end (or equivalent delineation). No work shall be permitted in the buffer. Signage stating "Landslide Hazard Area & Buffer — No work permitted in this area" shall be displayed during construction activity. - We recommend a 100' building setback from the top of the bluff for all building structures. This is based on a setback approximately equal to the vertical height of bluff which is a common standard utilized among local public agencies and geotechnical professionals. - Restrict recreational and casual use of bluff and buffer as much as practical - Monitor / repair all surface erosion and slope damage. - Owner shall inspect and repair any rivulets that may appear in the buffer on a yearly basis. Immediately repair any concentrated stormwater flows and cA o disperse the flows to as broad an area as possible. Utilize least invasive v equipment possible (i.e. hand tools) to minimize soil compaction. co o - If concentrated stormwater flows must be directed towards or down the bluff, o a closed conduit must be utilized across the entire bluff face, with a energy W dissipation device at the outlet. ci) - Avoid destructive thinning of trees and understory E:\_Jobs\05\0585 Niblock\SWM\0585 SWM&Geo Report 2.doc page 4 of 7 • • Quadra Engineering 240 W. Cedar St. _ P.O. Box 2356 Sequim, WA. 98382 (360) 683-7019 - Maintain and promote growth of trees and understory within the buffer • Geotechnical Conclusion - This project will not: - alter a landslide hazard area or its buffer - create a new parcel within a known landslide hazard area - construct a publicly owned facility which are the activities specified in UDC 18.15.275(9)(a) and is therefore exempt from the requirement of a Geotechnical Report. Drainage Design Stormwater management will be accomplished by collecting as much runoff from new impervious surfaces as practical and conveying it to a Stormwater Management Facility (SWMF) designed to promote infiltration. The SWMF shall be located so as to minimize the impacts to the Landslide Hazard Area. • Quality - Permanent ground cover shall be established on all disturbed surfaces - Collect and convey roof surface stormwater directly to a pump chamber where accumulated flows will be pumped to the SWMF - Slope the driveway to abutting landscaping and convey via surface flow to the storm drain pump chamber. The drain rock surrounding the pump chamber and the perimeter holes drilled into the chamber will allow infiltration into the pump chamber where the accumulated flows will be pumped to the SWMF for infiltration far from the Landslide Hazard Area • Quantity - Route / convey runoff from new impervious surfaces to a SWMF of sufficient volume to retain and infiltrate the stormwater resulting from runoff during a 100-yr 24-hr storm (Q1oo)• - Permit relocation and adjustment of the shape of the SWMF to account for existing topography. Require the contractor to verify that the SWMF has the minimum designed volume. - Limit the infiltration design rate to '/z the median rate of permeability • Erosion Control: - During construction and until final stabilization of disturbed areas is achieved, the contractor shall be responsible for preventing the conveyance of soil, silt and dust from the leaving the building site. Methods to be used will depend cn on seasonal and site conditions, but could include maintenance of disturbed 2 areas with use of temporary / permanent ground cover and sprinkling for.dust control. - All exposed areas shall be seeded as specified in the construction notes'' o_. following completion of construction activities. wi� w W E:\_Jobs\05\0585 Niblock\SWM\0585 SWM&Geo Report 2.doc page 5 of 7 • • Quadra Engineering 240 W. Cedar St. _ P.O. Box 2356 Sequim, WA. 98382 (360) 683-7019 - Avoid grading activities prior to and during heavy rainfall as specified in the construction notes - Temporary filter fabric fence will be used to protect off-site properties and critical areas as needed. Calculations • Software: Calculations are preformed using HydroCAD® by Applied Microcomputer Systems. The following are discussions / pre-calculations / adjustments that are applied to address requirements and/or variable limitations of the program: - Infiltration Rate: The infiltration is identified in the calculations as Discarded Outflow. Rates less than 0.01-cfs are shown as 0.00-cfs due to a display limitation of the significant digits used by the software, not computation limit. The lower rates are calculated as can be seen in Outlet Devices column where the velocity is shown. - Calculate median velocity Calculate median velocity of water through soil and convert to feet per minute. V= '/s x (2.0 + 6.0)"'/1 c x 1 ft/12 , x 1 4/60min) = 0.0056ft/min. - Adjust Infiltration Rate Decrease the median infiltration velocity per the Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin to '/z by setting the exfiltration outlet "Discharge Multiplier" in the software to 0.50. This adjustment is shown in the Outlet Devices column by the equation: V fpm Exfiltration X 0.50 over entire Surface area (or Wetted area) Conclusion Per the HydroCAD® calculation data shown hereafter, a SWMF (retention / infiltration pond) 2.0' deep with a 40 square foot base (2'x20') and 3:1 side slopes with a volume = 389 cubic feet is more than sufficient to manage the stormwater generated by this projects new improvements for the Q100 design storm (fills to 1.19'±).
