~----_.-----
This report presents our Geologically Hazardous Areas (GHA) asseSsment and
recommendations for a proposed sewerage system and large on-site wastewater treatment
area supporting the,Beckett Point Community in Jefferson County, Washington. This work
was conducted in general accordance with our sub-consultant agreement executed October
22, 2004 and Contract Amendment N~. 1 dated March 4, 2004. The scope of our work
included review of previous site information, slope reconnaissance, subsurface explorations,'
laboratory testing, analyses, and preparation of this report. The purpose of our work was to
evaluate the geologic hazards associated with ttIe site and to provide recommendations for
hazard mitigation of the proposed wastewater treatment and conveyance system. A previous
report was prepared for the project to address soil infiltration rates and perform a water and .
nitrate balance of the proposed wastewater treatment (drainfield) area. The previous work
was summarized in a report "Geotechnical Report, Beckett Point Community Wastewater
Treatment Area, Jefferson County, Washington" prepared by our firm and dated May 10,
2005. Portions of the previous report are presented herein fpr reference.

2.0 Site Description
. .
The project site is located in the Beckett Point area of Jefferson County located southwest of
Port Townsend, Washington. The project area currently includes, undeveloped upland
forested areas <m the northeast side of the site, moderate to steep coastal slopes, and the
cuspate forelands that incorporate the sand spit/lagoon features defining Beckett Point. The
site is generally bounded on the north by Hill Crest Avenue and Beckett Point Road.
Adjacent property borders the east side of the site and coastal slopes descend tQ Beckett
Point, which is bordered by Discovery Bay. Beckett Point road descends the coastal slope
and provides access around The Point. A spur road, View Point Lane, provides access to
residences at the toe of the steep coastal slope north of The Point. The generalIocation .and
configuration ~fthe project site are shown on the Vicinity Map and Geologically Hazardous
Areas Site Plan, Figure I.
The project site is composed of two principle geomorphic features: the upland area on the
northeast side of the site and Beckett Point (The Point). These two distinct areas generally
delineate the geologically hazardous zones of the site. The upland area includes moderate to
steep slope areas that reflect landslide, seismic, and erosion hazard areas identified by
Jefferson County. Beckett Point generally meets the criteria of a seismic hazard area due to
loose or soft soils and liquefaction/settlement risks associated with seismic.events. The Point
also meets the criteria of a frequently flooded area, as shown on Figure 1.

2.1 Upland Area
The upland area includes approximately 30 acres of undeveloped, forested land on the
northeast comer of the site. Within approximately 5 acres of this area, at the extreme
northeast comer of the property, the proposed wastewater treatment drainfield area is planned
as described below in Section 3.0 Project Description and as generally shown on Figure 1.
Topographic' grad~s within the upland forested area are gentle to moderate with average
slopes ranging from 10 to 30 percent with locally steeper zones of approximately 40 percent.
Several hundred feet northwest and southwest of the proposed treatment area,' grades increase
near the ste.ep coastal slopes. Grades on the steep coastal slopes average 100 percent above
View Point Lane an~ 70 tq 110 percent above The Point. The upland area includes a
residential development area on more moderate grades where Bec~ett Point Road descends
the slope. Grades around existing residences ayerage 20 to 30 percent with locally level to '
more steeply. sloped areas, created by grading for residential construction. A more detailed
description of the upland area is presented below in Section 7.0 Site Reconnaissance.
2.2 Beckett Point
Beckett Point is a cuspate foreland shore feature likely created by seasonal changes in the
\ .
coastal process long-shore sediment drift direction that forms triangular shaped deposits.
The Point comprises approximately 40 acres of beach/lagoon deposits and fill associated with
Beckett Point Road and residential development around the perimeter of The Point.
Residences are generally constructed between the road alignment and.the beach. On the
interior side of the roadway, garages and other out buildings associated with the residences
are present, apparently built on fill. The interior of The Point is lower it]. elevation and
consists of a periodically inundated lagoon/marsh as shown on Figure 1. Beckett Point Road
terminates at the east end of The Point in a cul-de-sac constructed at the base ofthe steep
coastal slope. Several buildings are located at the terminl.ls of the road. These buildings are
apparently associated with an historic water supply system that collected water from a spring
at the. toe of the slope. Further discussion of the spring and existing site conditions are
presented below in section 8.0 Site Reconnaissance.
3.0 Project Description'
The proposed community wastewater treatment system will collect wastewater from.
individual residences' in a sewerage system placed along Beckett Point Road and View Point
Lane. Collected wastewater will be pumped up the coastal slope by two pump stations along
existing access roads to the treatment area on the northeast corner of the site. We understand
that temporary excavations for the proposed pump stations, will range from 8 to 10 feet below
existing grade. Temporary shoring may be used for the pump station excavations to limit the
aerial extent of the required cut. The approximate alignment of the proposed ~astewater
collection system and pump stations is shown on the Site and Exploration Plan, Figure 2.

The cllrrent wastewater treatment (drainfield) area layout will cover approximately 5 acres of
the total 30-acre forested area northeast of The Point. Existing forest within the 5 acre area
will be' cleared. We understand only'minor gr.ading will be required,for the treatment system
construction.
We understand that the proposed community wastewater treatment system is-being designed
in accordance with the Washington State Department of Health "Design Standards for Large
On-site Sewage Systems with Design Flows of Greater than 3,500 Gallons Per Day". The
proposed system will 'replace existing individual systems located on the residentiaf lots, !": .." ,0.,.
which generally do not conform to current Health Department standards. The new systen).L". .
will also account for buildout of some of the remaining undeveloped lots for a total of 102, " r-

5.0 Geologic Setting
. .
A general summary of the site and local area soil and groundwater conditions is presented
below. The summary is based on the information review presented above. The results of site
specific observations and subsuiface explorations are presented in Sections 7.0 and ~.O. .
5.1 Soil
Geologic mapping generally indicates the local area northeast of the project site is capped by
glacial till. Glacial till is composed of a mixture of gravel, sand,' silt, and clay that was
deposited and overridden by the most recent glacial advance that covered the area. ,Glacial
advance outwash is mapped below the glacial till across much of the project site and along
the steep coastal slope above The Point. Glacial.advance outwash soils are generally
composed of sand or sand and gravel that have been deposited by melt waters of the
advancing glacier and subsequently overridden by the glacial ice. Both the outwash and, '..'
glacial till soils are generally ,in a very dense or hard condition below the surface soil hori2'fil
due to the weight of glacial ice. Southeast of The ,Point, mapping also shows interglaciali, " ". .
deposits below the advance outwash that can include sand and gravel, silt~ or clay soils,i,
which are also in a very dense or hard.condition below the surface soil horizon. The Point lsJ;;li\
mapped as recent, post glacial deposits including loose sand and gravel beach deposits alon~:)) i\
the shoreline and ~oft organic soils associated with the lagoon located on the interior of The\ (;~~,'r
Point. tl~l
\
USDA Soil Survey reference mapping indicates the proposed tr~atment area is Cassolary L.-..-
Sandy Loam, 15 to 30 percent (CID) andThe Point is tidal marsh (Td) ,and Coastal Beaches
(Co). Coastal zone atlas mapping shows the steep. coastal slope in the Beckett, Point
Community as "Unstable" with areas of "Unstable Old Slide" and "Unstable Recent Sliqe"
ide!ltified immediately north and east of The Point and local c~mmunity. The upland area'
and The Point are described as "Stable" with respect to slope stability. .

5.2 Groundwater
Water well logs were obtained from the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE)
website and reviewed to help evaluate the subsurface conditions within the local area. Wells
I were identified north, northeast, and southeast ofthe project site. Well logs show a likely
cap of glacial till underlain by sand or sand and grav~l with clay layers at depth. Static water
levels in the well logs were typically more than 170 feet below the grade at the well
locations. I .
The Jefferson County PUD No. 1 was also contacted for additional information regarding
water supply wells in the local area. No current water wells or associated well logs were
identified on the project site. All potable water is reportedly provided by thePUD No. 1
system that obtains its waterfrom the Quilcene River located more than 15 miles south ofthe
project site.

The lack of local water wells precludes a determinatiori of site specific groundwater gradient
or flow direction. However, review ofbackgroudd information show,S an estimated
groundwater flow direction generally following local topography, flowing northwest, west
and southwest from the upland'area towards the shoreline.
6.0 Seismic Considerations
The Beckett Point project site is located in the s~ismically active western Washington region.
. ,Forseismlc design under the 2003 International Building Code (lBe), a site class is selected
based on the average soil properties in the upper 100 feet. ,Using i.nformation obtained from
site subsurface explorations, reference information, t!.11d well logs in the area, a site class "E"
is recommended for The Point (except that susceptibility to liquefaction classifies the site as
, an "F"). I A site class of "C" is recommended for the upland area including the steep coastal
slopes.
-
Peak ground accelerations based on a 10 percent and 2 percent probability of exceedance in
50 years (475 and 2,475 return intervals) were obtained for the local area using the USGS ,H
National Seismic Hazards website and latitude and longitude coordinates. The peak ground,
acceleration is approximately O.3g and 0.5g for the 10 percent and 2 percentproba~ility of\
exceedance in 50 years criteria, respectively.

7.0 Site Reconnaissance
, . '
Site conditions were evaluated by conducting a reconnaissance of the property and local are~
at various dates from October 2004 through April 2005.', Site and local conditions including
topography, vegetation, surface drainage, and soil exposures an~ groundwater evidence are
presented below. Subsurface conditions \yere also investigated by conducting test pit
explorations in the proposed treatment area and by hollow stem auger boring explorations in
the proposed pump station: areas and around the perimeter of Beckett Point. Exploration ~
locations are shown On Figure 2. A description of the subsurface conditions observed in the
explorations is presented in Section 8.0 Generalized Subsurface Conditions.

7.1 Topography
Topog~aphy in the upland area generally slopes down to the north and northwest as shown on
Figures 1 and 2. In the extreme northeast corner of the site (treatment area} elevations drop
from a .maximum of approximately 380 feet on the southwest side of the site to
approximately 290 feet on the north side of the site. Average site grades range from 10 to 25
percent with locally steeper areas of 30 to 40 percent. The site topography includes areas of
localized draws that likely reflect prehistoric drainage routes. The locally steeper areas of the
site are generally associated with the draw side slopes.
Beyond the proposed treatment area, grades in the upland area slope down to the northwest,
west, and southwest towards the steep coastal slope. North of The Point, View Point Drive
and associated residences are located between the toe of the slope and a concrete bulkhead
west of the road along the shoreline. On the northwest side, of The Point, the steep coastal
slope descends to the lagoon and existing structures located at the terminus of Beckett Point
Road~. East of The Point, the steep slope descends to the Discovery Bay Shoreline. Coastal
slope grades average 100 percent (45 degrees) above View Point Lane and associated
residences. The coastal slopy is less steep at times above The Point and lagoon with grades
of 70 to 100 percent (31 to 45 degrees). At the terminus of Beckett Point Road the toe of the
sl.ope was apparently excavated for a cul-de.,.sac creating a locally. steeper segment 20 to,30
feet above the road elevat!on with grades of 100 to 119 percent (45 to 50 degrees).
On Beckett Point, grades are generally level along Beckett Pqint Road,and View Point Lan~. ~.
Historic grading and fill placement likely occurred for road construction. Grades are' sevenH
feet lower in the interior of The Point where delineated wetlands (by others) and the lagoo~
are present. During high tide events the wetland area is inundated by surface water. It is
reported that during extreme high tide events and storm surge, portions of The Point are
flooded including portions of Beckett Point Road.
7.2 Vegetation
The upland area on the northe,ast comer of the site including the trlfatmeht area is densely
forested with an established canopy of deciduous and conifer trees including Douglas fir,
Western red cedar, we;;tern hemlock, red alder and big leaf maple. The understory
vegetation is moderately dense, comprised of shrubs and herbac-eous groundcover including
sword fern, salal, and Oregon grape. '
Beyond the treatment area the forested-condition continues dQwn to the steep coastal slope. ~
The steep slope above View Crest Lane is also well vegetated with established trees and
understory vegetation dominated by .Douglas fir and madrona. Above The Point, portions of
the more moderate slopes have been cleared (and histori~ally graded) for residential homes
and Beckett Point Road. Some established trees and understory vegetation remain within the
residential areas. On the slope ah9ve the lagoon and the Beckett Point Road cul-de.,.sac
vegetation is primarily grasses with occasional small trees. Vegetation on The Point is
dominated by grasses and herbaceous groundcover.

7.3 Drainage
, Topography within the proposed wastewater treatment area on the northwest corner of the
site would generally direct any surface water flow north and northwest towards Beckett Point
Road and Hillcrest Avenue. No evidence of significant surface water runoff, erosion, or'
active drainage courses was observed in the proposed wastewater treatment area. It appears
the current site conditions including soil and vegetative cover allow for infiltration and
evapo-transpiration of incident precipitation on the site.
Grades in the local area surrounding the wastewater treatment area generally direct surface '
water runoff into the Beckett Point Road drainage ditch north arid northwest of the site.
Elsewhere, surface gradients diFect surface water flow down the st~ep coastal slope
northwest, west, and southwest of the treatment area. Observation of the local area indicates
no evidence of significant surface water runoffor erosion onth~,steep coastal slope. This
includes a utility trench alignment reportedly excavated and backfilled down the steep coastal
slope. It appears surface water directed towards the steep slope infiltrates and/or is of
insufficient quantity and rate to create rilling or gulleying on the slope or within the Beckett
Point,Road drainage ditch.
,
7.4 Soil Exposures and Groundwater Evidence
/
, Due to vegetative cover in the propOsed wastewater treatment area, no significant soil
exposures were observed on the site. However, minor soil exposures were present along' a
primitive road system around the proposed drainfield area indicating primarily granular (sand
and gravel) soils. No groun4water seepage or evidence of seasonal daylighting groundwater
was observed in the treatment area on the northwest side of the site.
Soil exposures were observed at various locations along Beckett Point Road and on the steep
coastal slope. A'local "gravel pit" off of Beckett Point Road and west of the treatment area
(see Figure 2}contains sig~ificant soil exposures. A steep cut slope is present on the eastand
southeast side of the pit with near vertical exposures of interbedded gravelly sand, fine sand,
and fine sandy silt. No evidence of groundwater seepage or soil staining/mottling that would
indicate seasonal perched groundwater was observed on the gravel pit cut slopes.
Soil exposures were limited on the steep coastal slope due to vegetative cover. However, at
the terminus of Beckett Point Road a cul-de-sac was constructed by apparently cutting .into
the toe of the slope. 'Along the cul-de-sac exposures of interbedded fine sand, siltY fine sand
and gravelly sand were observed. No groundwater or evidence ofgr6undwater seepage was
noted 011 the steep cpastal slope except at one location. At the terminus of Beckett Point
Road, vegetation surrounding the historic "spring house" indicates very moist to wet soil
conditions. . .

8.0 Generalized Subsurface Conditions
Subsurface boring explorations for this report were conducted along the alignment of the
proposed wastewater collection and conveyance system to evaluate the geologic hazards and
provide recommendations for hazard mitigation and treatment system design and'
construction. In addition, test pit explorations and laboratory testing Were previously
conducted in the proposed wastewater treatment (drainfield) area to investigate suitability-
and hydraulic design parameters for the proposed drainfield 'area. A description of the
subsurface soil and groundwater conditions observed in the explorations are presented below
in Sections 8.1 and 8.2.
8.1 Soil
Boring explorations, B-1 through B-5 were performed along the.-aligI1n1ent of the proposed
wastewater collection and convey,ance system. On the upland portioit of the site above The
Point, boring B-1 and B-2 were advanced in the area ofprQposed pump station~ to provide
information. for pump station excavation, shoring, and to also provide subsurface information
on the conditions underlying the steep coastal slope. Borings B-3 through B-5 were
conducted on The Point along Beckett Point Road and View Point Lane to evaluate
conditions along the proposed sewerage system alignment. As part of previous work, eleven
test pits were excavated in the l,lpland portion. of the site in the proposed wastewater
treatment area.
8.1.1 Upland Area. Subsurface conditions within the upland portion of the site were
investigated by borings B-1 and B-2 and the previous test pit excavations, Borings B-1
and B-2 were advanced to depths of approximately 69 and 61 feet below existing grade,
respectively, as shown on Figures A-I and A-2 in Appendix A. The borings showed
primarily very dense gravelly sand to fine sand soils with occasional interbeds of hard
sandy silt and silt. The "conditions are consistent with the site reconnaissance' observations
and geologic mapping of the area'denoting glacial advance outwash deposits tinderJying
the steep coastal slope.
Generalized subsurface conditions observed in the eleven test pit explorations in the '
proposed wastewater treatment area also indicated subsurface condit~ons consistent with
the geologic mapping and reconnaissance of the area. Soils were composed of glacial
advanced outwash consisting of gravelly slightly silty,sand,fine sancl,and gravelly sand.
, Detailed information on soil conditions in the treatment area.and logs of the test pits are
presented in our previous report "Geotechnical Report, Beckett Point Community
Wastewater Treatment Area, Jefferson County, Washington" dated May 10,2005.
- 8.1.2 Beckett Point. Borings B-3 through B-5 were performed on Beckett Point along
View Point Road and Beckett Point Road. All three borings showed a surficiallayetof
fill generally up to 3 feet thick. Below the fill, beach qeposits composed. of loose to
medium dense gravelly sand to fine sand were generally encountered. Variations in

subsUrface soil conditions in each of the borings reflect their location on The Point and
depositional characteristics' of each area. Boring B-3 ~as advanced near the .base of the
steep coastal slope on View Point Drive and showed minor fill underlain by medium
dense slightly gravelly to gravelly sand to a depth of about 10 feet below grade. Below
the medium dense soils, the gravelly sand and sand became dense to very dense, likely
associated with the dense soils underlyinR the steep coastal slope that have been eroded to
fonn a "beach terrace" at the base of the bluff.
Boring B-4 was advanced near the tip of The Point and showed relatively loose soils
associated with beach deposits that form the end of The Point. Below approximately 2
feet offill, the soil was generally composed of loose to medium dense gravelly sand to
sandygravel. Boring B-5 [idvancedadJacent to the lagoon area showed 3 feet offill over
medium stiff organic silt likely associated with lagoon deposits (prior to :Qlling). Below
the organic silt, loose to medium dense gravelly sand was generally encountered in the
. boring with dense conditions and occasional shell fragments at depth.
,
8.2 Groundwater '
No groundwater was encountered in the boring or test pit explorations conducted in the
upland portion of the site. Explorations in the treatment area generally extended to depths of
7 to 10 feet below grade. Boring explorations on the coastal slope"at the proposed pump
stations, B-1 and B-2, also encounter no groundwater to depths of approximately 69 to 61
footdepth,respectively. The interbed~ of sandy silt and silt shOlwed no perched groundwater
(wet soil conditions) or evidence of perched groundwater (soil mottling and/or heavy
staining). Within two samples minor isolated iron staining was observed in thin sand
laminae but did not, in our opinion, reflect significant seasonal perch groundwater
conditions.
, )
'Groundwater was present in the boring explorations B-3 through B-5 c~nducted on Beckett
Point. Groundwater was generally encountered at 5 to 7 feet below existing site grade as
. shown on the boring logs. Groundwater levels likely vary based on precipitation, tide, and
other on-site and off-site factors. To provide additional information on the site groundwater
conditions, monitoring of existing shallow monitoring wells (installed by others) was
, conducted on the site. The results of groundwater monitoring are presented below in Table
1. Monitoring indicates that the granular soils comprising Beckett Point are tidally
influenced.

9.0 Geologically Hazardous And Frequently Flooded Areas
Site explorations and subsurface characterization indicate very dense, primarily granular soils
underlie the upland portion of the site including the steep coastal slopes~ Fill, beach and
lagoon deposits composed of loose sand and gravel and organic ~oils comprise The Point
with denser granular soils at depth. The soils on The Point are tidally influenced and
periodically saturated.
Portions of the project site are designated as potential geologically hazardous areas; These
include erosion and landslide hazards on the steep coastal slope and increased landslide
hazards during a seismic event (seismic hazard). The presence of relatively loose, saturated
granular soils underlying The Point indicate the potential for liquefaction during earthquake
strong ground motion. In addition, the relatively level, low elevation topography of The
Point indicates a potential for flooding during storm surge, extreme high tide events, and

tsunamis (Frequently Flooded Hazard). The following sections present our evaluation of the
project site geologic and frequently flooded hazard areas.
Landslide hazards for the site were assessed using both qualitative and quantitative
assessment of slope stability.' In addition, two scenarios for potential landslide hazard
impa~ts from the'proposed wastewater treatment system were assessed and included potential
adverse impact to the slope from increased groundwater infiltration at the proposed
wastewater treatment infiltration area and landslide hazard/slope'stability risk associated with
construction of the sewerage system pipe alignment up the steep slope. .
9.1.1 Qualitative Slope Evaluation. No evidence of recent landslide activity was .
observed on the steep coastal slope. However, the steep slope grade does indicate a
moderate risk of futUre instability, in oUr opinion. This is supported by Coastal Zone
Atlas m~pping of the steep coastal slope as "unstable". Risk factors for future slope
stability/landsliding include, but are not limited to, heavy precipitation, uncontrolled
stormwater runoff, infiltration of stormwater or wastewater, seismic events, clearing
,vegetation, loading the top of a slope or cutting at the toe.
Evidence. of potential instability includes the vegetation on the steep slope above View
Point Lane. The vegetation shows indications of "soil creep",< the slow downslope
movement of shallow slope face soils due to gravity. . Trees have rounded trunks that
have apparently responded over time to the shallow slope face soil movement. The
somewhat steeper slope angle above View Point Road Lane compared to the slope above
the lagoon area is likely a factor contributing to soil creep and a somewhat greater risk of
instability. Soil creep may also be occurring elsewhere on the steep coastal slope,
however, evidence was limited where vegetation is dominated by grasses.
Along the proposed pipe alignment for the wastewater collection system, site grades are
less steep. The pipe alignment will generally follow the-existing road and driveways
connecting the residences above The Point. In these/areas, vegetation is generally upright
and shows no evidence of landslide activity or soil creep. Also in this area, the relative
risk of future landsliding is low in our opinion due to the more moderate slope angle.
Groundwater that daylights as seepage on a steep coastal slope or accumulates as perched
groundwater ip the shallow surface soil horizon can increase the risk of landsliding, The
proposed treatment system will result in an annual increase' in groundwater input to the
local system of less than 6 inches based on prior analyses of the wastewater treatment
area (MBI May 2005). Due to the relatively minor estimated increase to the groundwater
regime, it is our opinion that the input to the system wilJ have a negligible adverse affect
on slope stability. This opinion is due to: 1) the primarily granular nature ofthe soils
underlying the upland and steep slope area; 2) the soil's relatively high infiltration rate; 3)
the distance of the treatment area from the slope; 4) the apparent lack of continuous
silt/clay layers to' transmit groundwater horizontally to the slope face; and5) the lack of

groundwater on slope stability. \\>>:;~\
9.1.2 Ouantitative Slope Evaluation. Quantitative slope stability analyses were
conducted to model existing site slope conditions and provide a method for assessing
potential impacts to slope'stability from the proposed. treatment system. Slope sta~ility
analyses were conducted for the steep coastal slope using representative cross sections
and soil parameters based ,on published correlations and experience. Analyses were
performed to determine the "factor of safety" for the existing slope conditions, The factor
of safety (FS) is generally defined as. the resisting soil strength divided by the soil .
mass/driving force along a potential failure surface and soil mass. A factor of safety of
1.0 indicates marginally stable conditions where the driving force and resisting force are
equal. A factor of safety of less than 1.0 indicates a failure condition and resulting
movement/displacement along the failure surface. Factors of safety of 1.25 or more are
typically used as design standards for new constructio~. Factors of safety between 1.0
and 1.25 are generally considered "marginally stable".
Stability analyses were performed using infinite slope methods to assess the steep coastal
slope above View Point Lane and above The Point. Analyses were also conducted for the
slope along the proposed pipe alignment. Analyses indicated a marginally stable slope
(under existing conditions) for shallow failure surfaces on the steep slope above View
Point Lane and The Point where average grades range from 70 to 100 percent (35 to 45
degrees). The potential impact of shallow perched groundwater on the slope face was
also assessed. Where shallow Perched groundwater is assumed on the slope face, the
slope stability factor of safety is reduced by approximately 5 percent with a static factor
of safety still above 1.0. Jhese analyses aSsumed potential perched groundwater '
conditions of approximately 6 inches within a 3 foot thick theoretical failure zone.
On the more moderate grades for the proposed pipe alignment, stability analyses for the
slope indicate a factor of safety of greater than 3.0. This factor of safety indicates-an
acceptable slope stability condition for construction of the proposed pipe alignment. This
increased factor of safety compared to the, other steep coastal slope areas is due to the
more moderate slope angles of20 to 30 percent (11 to 17 degrees).
9.2 Seismic Impacts to Slope Stability
Based on the marginally stable condition of the steep coastal slope under stati,c conditions,
the effects of seismic strong ground motion would tend to reduce slope stability and increase
the fisk of seismically induced landslide activity. Pseudostatic analyses of the steep coastal
slope indicate a risk of landsliding during a large seismic event. However, along the pipe
alignment, slope grades are more moderate and a factor of safety of greater than 1.0 was

compaction gfbackfill material,. vegetation management, and stormwater control. See""
Section 10.0 GeotechnicalRecommend(1tions. '
9.3 Erosion Hazard
The site soils are composed of primarily sand and gravel. These soils can be susceptible to
erosion on the steep slope grades in the area of the proposed pipe alignment and on the steep
coastal slope. Where, covered by existing vegetation, the erosion hazard appears to be low
based on the lack of significant erosion on the site. However, where vegetation is removed
and soils are exposed by excavation, erosion potential is increased. This is confIrmed by
l!1inor erosion of the slope face soils above the cul":de-~c at the end of Beckett Point Road
where sQils were apparently cut for the cul-de-sac and unprotected from erosion. ' In our j
opinion, the implementation of conventiomil erosion control techniques and best
management practices (BMP's) during construction will mitigate the erosion hazard risk on
the property.
9.4 Liquefaction, Seismic Hazard
Under the effects of earthquake strong ground motion, relatively loose saturated granular
soils experience an increase in soil pore water pressure which can result in a loss of soil
strength and a "liquefied" condition. Using boring information, the site soils were evaluated
to determine the potential for liquefaction. Based on peak ground accelerations ofO.3g and
.o.5g (recurrence intervals of 475 and 2,475 years, respectively) there is a risk of site soil
liquefaction of loose saturated sand soils on The Point. Based on the very dense condition of
the soils underlying the steep coastal slope there appears to be no liquefaction potential for
the upland portion of the site includingl steep coastal slope soils:
Impacts from liquefaction include potentially .large total and differential settlement across
The Point due to dissipation of increased pore water pressure in the sand soils following the .
earthquake, Also, empty or partially empty buried vessels in liquefied soil can become
buoyant arid "pop-up" during a seismic event. Recommendations to mitigate, risk from site
soil liquefaction for the proposed wastewater treatment facilities on The Point are1p!esented
in Section 10.0 Geotechnical Recommendations.
9.5 Frequent Flooding Hazard
. Due to the relatively low elevation of The Point, extreme high tide events and storm sUrges
have reportedly resulted in flooding on the lower lying portions of The Point including
portions of Beckett Point Road. ,In addition, Hooding can occur as a~esult oflarge seismic
events and resulting tsunamis. Design of the proposed wastewater collection and conveyance
system on The Point should include measures' to avoid adverse il11-pacts as the result of
surface water/system flooding. These include "pop-up" fisk to buried structures during

periods of elevated tides and flooding where groundwater and hydrostatic pressures are
increased. In addition, the potential for infiltration of surface (flood) waters in the system

Recommendations.
10.0, GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Geotechnical recommendations for the project site to help mitigate risk from geologically,,,

, 10.1 Excavation and Temporary Shoring
J E :~. F F 'i,Sc]f~~';~'i':~iTr~"f\:;T,~;' .
The proposed wastewater treatment collection and conveyance systems will require
maximum excavations of 8 to 1 0 feet at pump stations and relatively shallow trench
excavations for the sewerage pipe alignment around The Point. Reco!!linendations for the
upland area pump stations and The Point pipe alignment are presented below.
GE\/[LOpi\
;
10.1.1 Upland Area. Excavation within upland areas will likely encounter loose to
medium dense soils in the upper 3, to 5 feet underlain by dense sand and gravel.
Excavation can likely be performed using conventional equipment. For open cuts, the
site soils would generally be considered Type A to B soils and can be cut to a maximum
3/4 to 1 horizontalto Ivertical (3/4 to IH: 1 V) based on the Safety Standards for
Construction Work, Chapter 296-135 WAC.
If open cuts are' not possible due to space limitations temporary shoring could be used.
Shoring should be designed to support the granular site soils. We recommend an
equivalent fluid unit weight of35 pcffor soil in the upper 5 feet of the excavation and25
pcf in the dense sand and gravel soils typically at depths greater than 5 feet.
10.1.2 Beckett Point! Sewerage Alignment: Excavation within the soils on The Point will
likely encounter loose fill and loose granular beach deposits (sand and gravel). Soft
organic soils may also be encc;>untered below the ,fill in areas near the lagoon. '
Groundwater will be present at depth and will likely depend on the tidal t(levations durihg
excavation. Groundwater was generally observed at depths of 3-112 to 6 feet below gnide .
during the drilling and monitoring well observations presented in this report.
Due to the loose nature of the site soils and groundwater, excavations will be subject to
caving and sloughing unless shored particularly below groundwater levels. Where
shoring is provided, we recommend the upper unsaturated soil zone be designed for an
equivalent fluid unit weight of 35 pcf. Below the groundwater elevation, a unit weight
based on the combined soil and hydrostatic loading of 80 pcf is re~ommended. Above
the groundwater level, open cuts could be used. Based on the WAC safety standards, the
loose sand and gravel soils would be considered Type C soils with a maximum open cut

of 1-112 H: 1 V. Where groundwater is encountered, flatter open cuts or shoring would
likely be required.
10.2 Structural Fill
To help reduce buoyancy forces during periods of elevated groundwater, seismic events and
flooding, we recommend that fill placed around the proposed improvements including pump
station apd trench backfill (above pipe bedding)be placed as structural fill. ' Structural fill
should consist of a well~graded, granular material free of,organic debris or other deleterious
material. Structural fill should be at a moisture content to allow-for proper compaction. Due
to the primarily gr~ular nature of the site soils, we anticipate that the majority of soils will
be suitable for re-us~ as structural fill. In some locations on The Point, organic silt or clay
, soils are present. These organic silt or clay soils ~e not suitable for re-use as. structural fill.
If construction and fill}?lacement are to occur during 'wet weather conditions or on wet
subgrade soil surfaces, we recommend structural fill material be utilized that is ,suitable for
wet weather construction, Asuitable material is "Gravel Borrow" as presented, in Section 9-
03.14' of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Standard
~pecifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal ConstruCtion (Standard Specifications). ,
However, the gradation should be modified so that a ,maximum 5.percentby weight of the
material passes the U.S. No. 200 sieve as based on the minus 3/4-inch fraction.
Structural fill should generally be placed in lifts not exceeding 10 to 12 inches in loose
thickness. Each lift should be compacted to a firm, non-yielding condition and to the
minimum relative densities presented below in Table 3. Where hand or other lightweight
compaction equipment is used, we recommend maximum lift thicknesses of 6 to 8:-inches.

10.3 Uplift Resistance
Buried structures on The Point will likely be located partially below the tidally influenced
groundwater levels, subject to flooding, and/or within liquefiable soils, These structures
should be designed to resist hydrostatic uplift forces. Uplift forces can be resisted by
increasing the weight of the structure such as additional concrete mass incorporated Into a
pump station, holding tank, and/or thrust blocks. Additionally, soil backfill above buried
structUres provides some resistance to uplift. We recommend using it total soil unit weight of
120 pcf and a submerged unit weight of 58 pcf for gtanull;lf soil backfill above buried
structures. This assumes backfill is pl~ced and compacted' as structural fill. .
lOA Drainage
Control of site surface water is an important risk mitigation factor for both erosion and
landslide hazards. We recommend that the proposed site improvements include a drainage
system to capture and direct surface water runoff to suitable discharge location(s) at the base
of the steep coastal slope. This includes new access roads and other impervious surfaces in .\
the treatment syst~m area on the upland portion of the site. Collected water should be routed
down the slope via the existing Beckett Point Road swale, assuming adequate capacity is
available, or via a separate drainage discharg~, pipe. '
1 0.5 Vegetation Management
The presence of established vegetation on the upland portion of the site and steep coastal
slope helps reduce the risk of slope instability and erosion. Vegetation removes water from
the shallow slope soils, helps to reinforce the shallow sOlis via live vegetative root systems,
and intercepts incident precipitation. We recommend that vegetation be maintained on all
, portions of the site, except where required for the treatment system installation. This will
help maintain the current site slope condition and help avoid adverse impacts to the steep
coastal slope. Where construction activity requires clearing and/or disturbs existing
vegetation, the areas should be immediately protected from erosion and revegetatedas soon
as possible following construction.

Field Exploration Program
Subsurface conditions for the project site were explored by advancing 5 borings, B-1
through B-5, at the approximate locations shown on the Site and Exploration Plan,
Figure 2, Subsurface conditions observed in the' exploiationsare presented on the logs
atta~hed to this Appeiidix.
/'
The explorations were located in the field .by tc;lping or pacing relative to existing
physical site features. The approximate ground surface elevations presented on the
logs wen;: interpolated from topographic mapping provided by Parametrix; Inc: The
location and elevation of the explorations should be considered, accurate to the degree
, implied by the l!lethod used, '
A licensed geotechnical engineer/engineering geologist from Myers Biodynamics was'
present throughout the field work to observe the explorations; obtain soil samples,
, and to prepare field logs of the explorations. Soils were classified in general
accordance with ASTM D-2488 "Standard Practice for Description and Identification
, of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure)" and the Key to Soil Exploration Logs presented
'in this Appendix. A legend for the logs describing symbols and abbreviations is also
shown on the Key. The exploration logs presented in this Appendix represent our
interpretations of the contents of the field logs and fhe results of laboratory testing,
Boring Explorations
Borings B-1 through B-:-S were drilled with a trailer-mounted, DeepRock X24 ho1l9W"'
stem auger drill rig on March 24 and 25, 2005 to depths of approximately, 69.1, 6Q;5,
20,0, 19.0 and 19.0 feet, respectively. Boring logs B-1 through B-5 are presented ~"',.
Figures A-I through A~5 in this Appendix,' Sampling was performed through the!'
hollow':stem of the auger using Standard Penetration Test methods,
Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were taken at 2-1/2 and 5 foot sample interv?-ls
with a split-spoon sampler driven into the soil a distance of 18 inches with a 140
pound hammer freely falling from a height of 30 inches. Blows for each 6 inches of
p~netration are shown on the boring logs. The number of blows required to drive the
samples the last 12 inches is termed the Standard.Penetration Resistance (N value).
Generally, where blow counts of 50 or more are reached for 6 inches or less of
penetration, the test is terminated and the number of blows for the observed
penetration are recorde4. The N value provides a qualitative measUre of the relative
density of the cohesionless, granular soils or the stiffness of cohesive, fine-grained
soils. Representative portions of the split-spoon samples were placed in p~astic jars,
sealed, and transported to our office fo~ further evaluation and selective labpratory
testing.

Key to Soil Exploration Logs
Sample Descriptions consist of the following:
Minor constituents, major constituents; density or
consistency, color, moisture, and additional comments
including trace constituents. Soil classification is based
on visual field soil sample observations and laboratory
results on selected samples, where indicated on the
logs. Soil classification is based on grain size, plastic-
ity, color, density!consistency, and moisture. Visual-
manual methods of ASTM D2488 were used as an
identification guide.
Soil Density and Consistency
Soil density/consistency in borings is related to the
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) as shown below. Soil
density/consistency estimates in test pits are based on
visual observation and presented parenthetically on the
soil logs.
